Translator: 549690339
In a very neat and clean room, a young man dressed in a purple-black Star Robe with an elegant and graceful face wearing a calm smile, greeted Lu Yun to sit down and laughed:
“Junior Brother, may I know your name?”
“Senior Brother, isn’t it customary to introduce yourself first before asking others?”
Lu Yun smiled and glanced at another person in the room.
This was a woman, around twenty years old, also wearing a Star Robe, but a female version.
She was very beautiful, with icy skin, bright eyes, white teeth, and black hair like ink. Among the women Lu Yun had ever met, she could rank within the top three.
Of course, at present, Lu Yun had not met too many girls.
The young man still had a calm and elegant smile on his face, nodding his head:
“My name is Jiang Taiyi.”
“This is a friend of mine, Dantai Yue.”
The Dantai Yue he mentioned was the woman sitting nearby.
While introducing Dantai Yue, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, also looked at Lu Yun with a slight smile in them.
Lu Yun nodded to both of them.
“My name is Lu Yun, you can directly call me Junior Brother Lu.”
“Junior Brother Lu?”
Surprise appeared on both Jiang Taiyi and Dantai Yue’s faces.
“What’s wrong? Is there any problem?” Lu Yun asked curiously.
“Haha, no, it’s just a bit surprising.”
Jiang Taiyi explained with a smile, “Before this, we’ve heard of Junior Brother Lu’s name more than once, but we never had the chance to meet. Seeing you today, you indeed live up to the title of Heavenly Pride.”
“Haha, I’m just in the True Qi Realm, hardly deserving the title of Heavenly Pride.”
Lu Yun modestly replied, then directly got to the point, “I don’t know who wants to trade with me.”
“How many Contribution Points does Junior Brother Lu have?” Dantai Yue asked.
Lu Yun instantly knew who wanted to trade with him, looked up at Dantai Yue, and laughed, “Sixteen thousand four hundred and eighty.”
“How many are you planning to trade?”
“All of them.”
Upon hearing this, Dantai Yue curiously said, “Doesn’t Junior Brother Lu plan to save some points for entering places like Heart Inquiry Pavilion and Thousand Illusion Hall for cultivation? They require quite a few Contribution Points.”
Lu Yun shook his head, “I’m short on spirit crystals now.”
After saying that, he added, “Of course, if Senior Sister Dantai doesn’t have that many spirit crystals, we can reduce the trading amount.”
“Junior Brother Lu misunderstood, I’m not lacking in spirit crystals.” Dantai Yue said with a smile.
“Well, let’s start the trade.”
“There’s no objection.”
Half a tea’s time later.
“Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Sister Dantai, I’ll take my leave!”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Yun left.
“A spirit crystal for ninety-five Contribution Points, isn’t it a bit of a loss for Senior Sister?”
After Lu Yun left, Jiang Taiyi seemed to imply with a smile.
In response, Dantai Yue just smiled faintly, “I’m not short on spirit crystals.”
Lu Yun returned to the balcony of his cultivation dwelling.
“This trade brought me one hundred and seventy spirit crystals, and with the ones I already had, I now have a total of one hundred and eighty-four. That’s enough for the auction, and 1 can even buy some spirit herbs for refining pills.”
Playing with the Sumi Bag in his hand, Lu Yun recalled the scene of trading with Dantai Yue and felt it was too easy.
The other party had almost agreed with no hesitation to the price he proposed, which was beyond his expectation.
Before finding a trading partner, Lu Yun had heard that the exchange rate between spirit crystals and Contribution Points among Martial Academy disciples was one to one hundred.
That is to say, after some bargaining, one spirit crystal could usually be exchanged for one hundred Contribution Points.
Lu Yun had prepared to haggle with the other party, but the other party didn’t follow the script at all.
“Hehe, it seems this is a master with spirit crystals.”
With a light laugh, Lu Yun returned to the Cultivation Room.
There were ten days left before the auction, and he planned to continue his hard cultivation.
Ten days later.
“After ten days of hard cultivation, 1 only managed to improve three progress points in the Pure Yang Martial Arts Canon True Qi Chapter. This progress is unbearably slow.”
Looking at the training progress of the Pure Yang Martial Arts Canon shown on the panel, Lu Yun’s face was full of bitter smiles.
His talent was not low, and his cultivation wasn’t lax, but he advanced only one progress point almost every three days.
This showed the high difficulty of improving the Pure Yang Martial Arts Canon True Qi Chapter after reaching the Reach Profound level.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Lu Yun’s eyes narrowed, detecting some movement outside.
He got up, walked out of the Cultivation Room, went to the balcony, and looked down to see Duan Qing knocking on the door outside the small building.
“Junior Brother Lu, it’s time for us to set off. The auction will be held tonight.”
Seeing Lu Yun coming out, Duan Qing shouted loudly.
“Damn, I almost forgot the most important thing.” Lu Yun slapped his forehead, and then quickly packed up and left the house.
When the two arrived at Spirit Martial Prefecture city, the sun was already high in the sky and scorching hot.
“It’s still early, let’s go up and pass the time.” Passing by a tavern, Duan Qing suggested.
“Ok.”
Upon entering the tavern, Lu Yun casually glanced over and saw the plaque above.
The words ‘Sky One’ were engraved on it.
Sky One Tavern was bustling, and the ground floor was already full of various guests, and the noise of conversations was quite loud.
The two directly went up to the second floor, where a sharp-eyed waiter immediately greeted them.
“What would you two like to eat?”
“Just bring us something.”
Lu Yun casually replied, and then chose a few dishes and a pot of wine from the menu provided by the waiter..
