Li Mu took out a Pill Bottle and three Talismans from the nine storage spiritual pearl, looked at Venerable Tianyun, and introduced, "I have three bottles of Fifth-Order Creation Pill and four Fifth-Order Red Lotus Fire Talismans here. Are they enough to exchange for your Sixth-Order Thunder Copper Wood Core and Fifth-Order Moon Essence Spirit Gold?"
"What! Fifth-Order Creation Pill? Is it the Creation Pill that can greatly increase Divine Sense?"
"Master Li, you actually have Creation Pill, and even Fifth-Order Red Lotus Fire Talismans?"
"How can you be willing to trade such Spirit Items?"
...
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, the Cultivators present looked at the Pill Bottle on his table and the four powerful Talismans with astonished, fervent eyes, discussing animatedly.
"Good, good! I'll exchange! And this Demon Egg, Master Li, you don't want it?" Tian Yuan Revered One quickly responded, as if afraid Li Mu would go back on his word if he was late.
After speaking, Tian Yuan Revered One quickly handed the Thunder Copper Wood Core and the Storage Pouch containing the Fifth-Order Moon Essence Spirit Gold to Li Mu.
"No need for the Demon Egg!" Li Mu smiled slightly, accepted the two Spirit Items, and transferred the Pill Bottle and Talismans to Tian Yuan Revered One.
Tian Yuan Revered One took the Pill Bottle and Talismans, quickly probed them with his Divine Thought, and upon inspection, found them to be Medium Grade Fifth-Order Creation Pill with extremely potent medicinal properties. As for the Fifth-Order Red Lotus Fire Talismans, they contained terrifying spiritual power, and if he used them, their power could increase by several tenths, making them a good trump card. This transaction was very cost-effective.
Tian Yuan Revered One's face couldn't help but show a smile, and he looked at Li Mu, asking with some dissatisfaction, "Master Li, do you still have Creation Pill and Fifth-Order Talismans? I can trade other Spirit Items with you."
"Fellow Daoist Tian Yuan, isn't that inappropriate? One person trading three Spirit Items, you should wait for the next round!" Saintess Lian Yue looked at Tian Yuan Revered One, displeased.
"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Tian Yuan, it's not good to break the rules you set yourself!"
"Master Li, do you still have any surplus Creation Pill?"
...
Saintess Lian Yue's words immediately won the support of all the Soul Transformation Cultivators, who offered advice or directly inquired of Li Mu.
Li Mu nodded slightly. He still had quite a lot of Fifth-Order Creation Pill, and other Spirit Pills were also very abundant.
When he harvested the Bodhi Tree, Li Mu obtained many Bodhi Seeds. After learning Alchemy, he Acquired many Pill Formulas for Fourth and Fifth-Order Spirit Pills through Wanbao Pavilion and Returning Heaven Medicine Sect, and Fifth-Order Creation Pill was one of them.
Li Mu originally intended to use the refined Fifth-Order Creation Pill for himself to increase his Divine Soul and enhance his Divine Thought.
However, the max-level Star Observation Method - Gathering Spirit Chapter had already raised his Divine Thought to the intensity of a Late Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator, so the effect of Creation Pill on Li Mu was very limited.
Seeing the Spirit Items in Tian Yuan Revered One's hand, Li Mu immediately decided to trade with Fifth-Order Creation Pill and Fifth-Order Talismans.
Unexpectedly, the Creation Pill won the enthusiastic welcome of the Soul Transformation Cultivators, who all pleaded with him to take out the surplus Creation Pill for trade. Seeing this situation, Li Mu was delighted.
"It's my fault! Let's continue the trade, Fellow Daoist Huasheng, are you willing to take my Golden Roc Egg?" Tian Yuan Revered One reluctantly admitted his mistake, looked at the Soul Transformation Cultivator sitting to Li Mu's left, and gestured.
"This Demon Egg is not suitable for me, let's move on to the next one!"
...
The trade continued, and Tian Yuan Revered One's Fifth-Order Golden Roc Demon Egg was eventually exchanged by a Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator for a Fifth-Order Fire Elemental Spiritual Root.
"Fellow Daoists, my trade is over. Next, it's Fellow Daoist Lian Yue's turn." Tian Yuan Revered One announced publicly, then looked at Saintess Lian Yue and gestured.
Saintess Lian Yue nodded, waved her sleeve, and took out three Spirit Items from her Storage Ring, which appeared above the table: a jade box containing Spirit Medicine, an ancient purple-covered scripture, and a thunder stone emitting violent thunder origin.
"The jade box contains a Six-Order golden origin Blood Ginseng with a medicinal age of 1,500 Years. It is a Spiritual Plant with powerful golden origin attributes, requiring harsh growing conditions in high-grade spirit veins containing Taiyi Fine Gold and Black Evil Gold to grow. It contains extremely pure high-grade golden origin spiritual power and can be used as a main Material for refining Six-Order and Fifth-Order gold-element Spirit Pills!"
"The second item is a half-ancient scripture, originating from the ruins of an ancient battlefield. It records complex and mysterious ancient Divine Inscriptions, containing a not-weak Dao rhythm. The specific content is unknown; Fellow Daoists who wish to research it can exchange for it."
"The third item is a Six-Order Vast Thunder Crystal, containing the Dao of Thunder, weighing 110,000 jin, and filled with powerful thunder origin. I will exchange them for water-element Spirit Items of the same rank. Of course, the three Spirit Items can also be exchanged for Creation Pill or other auxiliary Spirit Pills."
Saintess Lian Yue looked at the Cultivators and gave a detailed introduction, then specifically looked at Li Mu, implying something.
Upon hearing this, the Cultivators all examined the three Spirit Items displayed by Saintess Lian Yue, their faces showing thoughtfulness, and they were full of curiosity about the second ancient scripture.
Li Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the floating half-ancient scripture. Under his Talent Divine Power - Identify Myriad Spirits, its true information was clear at a glance.
【Divine Inscription True Explanation (Sealed) (Incomplete)】
【Rank: Eighth-Order Dao Scripture】
【Characteristics: Eternal Divine Inscription (Sealed), Impervious to Water and Fire, Ancient Thought Legacy (Sealed), Self-Evolving Divine Inscription (Sealed), Three Thousand Divine Runes (Sealed)】
【Status: Divine Essence dissipated, Spirituality incomplete, Divine Object self-defiled and returned to mundane】
【Eighth-Order Ancient Chaos Beast Hide, Divine Inscription ancient scripture drawn by Immortal Thought, suffered destructive heavy damage, washed away by ten thousand Years, Divine Charm dissipated, Spirituality incomplete, downgraded to a mundane object. Only by gathering Innate Five Spirit Runes, a thousand strands of Threads of Years, and ten thousand forces of Karma can it be unsealed and self-restore.】
After seeing the half-ancient scripture in Saintess Lian Yue's hand, Li Mu's heart was greatly shaken, but he had to maintain a calm and composed expression.
Participating in this trade fair was indeed worthwhile. It had just begun, and such a shocking treasure had appeared. This was the first time Li Mu had seen an Eighth-Order Dao Artifact, and it just appeared so simply.
"Fellow Daoist Tian, have you taken a liking to Fellow Daoist Lian Yue's Spirit Items? Hurry and make an offer!" Venerable Tianyun looked at the forty-year-old male Cultivator to Saintess Lian Yue's left and urged him.
"Fellow Daoist Lian Yue, I want the golden origin Blood Ginseng. How about I exchange it for a ball of Six-Order Grand Yin True Water?" Tian Yi Revered One took out a True Water Bottle, looked at Saintess Lian Yue, and gestured.
"Grand Yin True Water, it can be exchanged!" Saintess Lian Yue nodded happily, waved her hand, and the golden origin Blood Ginseng flew directly towards the other party.
Tian Yi Revered One, without hesitation, handed the True Water Bottle to the other party, quickly completing the transaction.
"Fellow Daoist Lian Yue, may I examine that ancient scripture?"
"Indeed, I am also interested!"
"What kind of Divine Inscriptions are recorded? Has Fellow Daoist Lian Yue not been able to figure out anything?"
...
Seeing Saintess Lian Yue and Tian Yi Revered One complete the transaction, several Soul Transformation Cultivators who were interested in the half-ancient scripture but couldn't fathom it, spoke up and made suggestions.
Upon hearing this, Saintess Lian Yue hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "If you are interested in this ancient scripture and wish to examine it, there's no problem. However, time is limited, so each person can only read it for thirty breaths!"
After speaking, Saintess Lian Yue passed down the ancient scripture.
Tian Yi Revered One took the ancient scripture, explored it for a while, but his Divine Thought sank into it like a stone into the sea. He frowned tightly and, uninterested, passed it on to the next person.
The hundred arts of cultivation, each requires a vast amount of time and energy. Even after achieving Soul Transformation and gaining an incredibly long lifespan, the time required to specialize in a certain mysterious Cultivation Technique is measured in centuries.
As for things involving ancient scriptures and secret treasures, the time required would probably be measured in millennia.
The ancient scripture was passed around among the Soul Transformation Cultivators. After initial fruitless exploration, many people lost interest in it. With this time, they might as well specialize in one of the hundred arts of cultivation!
About a quarter of an hour passed. After Shangguan Hong took the ancient scripture, he looked at Saintess Lian Yue and asked with concern, "Fellow Daoist Lian Yue, this ancient scripture has probably been in your hands for quite some time, hasn't it?"
Upon hearing this, the Soul Transformation Cultivators all looked at Saintess Lian Yue, awaiting her reply.
"Indeed, it has been five hundred Years!" Saintess Lian Yue's expression turned cold, and she responded truthfully.
All the Soul Transformation Cultivators showed expressions of understanding, their faces varying, and immediately became less interested in this ancient scripture.
Soon, the ancient scripture was passed back to Saintess Lian Yue.
"Alright, let's continue the trade." Tian Yuan Revered One skipped over Tian Yi Revered One and looked at the next yellow-robed Soul Transformation Cultivator, gesturing.
"Fellow Daoist Lian Yue's items are not what I need, please move on to the next Fellow Daoist!" The yellow-robed, disheveled, slightly unkempt Soul Transformation old man said directly.
"Me too!"
"Thunder-element Spirit Items are not suitable for me!"
...
The Cultivators successively declined, and soon, it was Li Mu's turn.
Saintess Lian Yue frowned tightly, her heart suddenly pounding. Everyone's gaze turned to Li Mu, very concerned about the whereabouts of the Creation Pill.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Li Mu felt slightly uncomfortable. He looked at Saintess Lian Yue and said, "I want both of Senior's Spirit Items, and I will use these to trade."
After speaking, Li Mu took out six Pill Bottles and a Fifth-Order Water-element Spiritual Artifact from the nine storage spiritual pearl. He looked at Saintess Lian Yue and introduced, "Senior, I will exchange three bottles of Creation Pill, three bottles of Clear Jade Pill, and a set of Fifth-Order Water Essence Spirit Wheels, a mother-child wheel Acquired Spirit Treasure. I wonder if this is acceptable!"
"Clear Jade Pill? You actually have Clear Jade Pill!" Saintess Lian Yue's eyes lit up slightly as she examined the items Li Mu took out for trade.
That Fifth-Order Acquired Essence Wheel was extremely spiritual, transforming into two Spirit Fish, one large and one small, chasing each other.
Saintess Lian Yue, with a slightly displeased expression, bargained, "My two Spirit Items are of extremely high rank. If you use these things to exchange for them, the value is a bit off!"
"Senior, that's not true. My items are hard currency. Creation Pill and Clear Jade Pill are needed by several Seniors here. On the contrary, the specific uses of Senior's two Spirit Items are unclear. I am merely satisfying a collecting habit, so this price is very suitable." Li Mu smiled slightly, looked at Saintess Lian Yue, and gestured neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Saintess Lian Yue fell silent, somewhat agreeing with Li Mu's words. The trade had fallen through many times; it was time to quit while she was ahead.
"Alright! The two Spirit Items are traded to you!" Saintess Lian Yue waved her sleeve, and the half-ancient scripture and the Six-Order Vast Thunder Crystal were simultaneously thrown to Li Mu.
Li Mu quickly cast a spell, holding the two Spirit Items and putting them into his nine storage spiritual pearl. Then, he handed the six bottles of Spirit Pills and the water-element Spiritual Artifact to Saintess Lian Yue.
Seeing Li Mu and Saintess Lian Yue conclude their transaction, Tian Yi Revered One impatiently took out three Spirit Items from his Storage Ring: a soul gathering bottle, a Storage Pouch, and a demon python bone, presenting them above the table.
"It's my turn!"
"A fierce soul of a Seven-rank Azure Eyed Tiger Emperor, a bag of Six-Order Colorful Cloud True Sand, thirty-five thousand jin, and a Six-Order Red Flame Demon Python Bone." Tian Yi Revered One looked at everyone and introduced his three Spirit Items.
"Fellow Daoist Tian, you even managed to get the fierce soul of the Azure Eyed Tiger Emperor. Where's its corpse?"
"Yeah! What's the use of a fierce soul? Unless you're a demonic Cultivator who can refine soul artifacts, do you have the Azure Eyed Tiger's true bones?"
"..."
As soon as Tian Yi Revered One took out the three Spirit Items for trade, they immediately attracted the attention of the Soul Transformation Cultivators, who bombarded him with questions.
A fierce soul of a Seven-rank Demon Emperor! It was a rare sight. However, the Soul Transformation Cultivators were more concerned about the Demon Emperor's corpse, as that was the valuable item that could be used to refine many high-grade Spirit Items.
Li Mu was also very attentive, anticipating Tian Yi Revered One's response.
Li Mu had the good fortune to witness a Seven-rank True Spirit and even formed a good relationship with it; it was Yu Ling Sect's Seven-rank True Spirit - Azure Thunder Beast of Purple Firmament.
However, Li Mu had yet to have the opportunity to see the true appearance of a Seven-rank Demon Emperor's corpse, nor had he had the chance to practice with a Seven-rank Demon Emperor's corpse.
"What are you thinking about! This fierce soul of the Azure Eyed Tiger Emperor was obtained by me during an exploration; I didn't get its corpse. Fellow Daoist Chen, it's your turn to bid. Do you want it?" Tian Yi Revered One waved his hand, looked at the yellow-robed old man sitting to his left, and gestured.
"I'm not interested in your things, next!" Venerable Chen Heng pouted and said dismissively.
Tian Yi Revered One was unfazed and looked at the next trading object. However, four consecutive trading targets failed to reach a trading intention.
Soon, it was Li Mu's turn.
Tian Yi Revered One couldn't help but look at this Artifact Refining Great Master with anticipation. He was quite wealthy and had a collecting habit, possessing many high-grade Spirit Pills and Talismans. He was a good trading target. Who knew where an Artifact Refining Great Master got so many high-grade Spirit Pills and Talismans from?
"Master Li, how about it? Have you taken a liking to my three Spirit Items?" Tian Yi Revered One looked at Li Mu, asking nervously.
"Hmm, Senior's three Spirit Items are good. The Six-Order Red Flame Demon Python Bone and the Six-Order Colorful Cloud True Sand can both be refined into good Spiritual Artifacts. As for the fierce soul of the Azure Eyed Tiger Emperor, it should also be useful. However, the true value of the three Spirit Items is slightly inferior. Senior, how about I use three bottles of Creation Pill and a Fifth-Order Gold-element Spirit Sword that can transform into a spirit for the trade?" Li Mu looked at Tian Yi Revered One and gestured.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu took out a Fifth-Order Gold-element Spirit Sword and three Pill Bottles from the nine storage spiritual pearl.
After a golden Spirit Sword with astonishing Evil Qi appeared, it immediately transformed into a small golden snake, standing erect and flicking its tongue towards the fervent Tian Yi Revered One, emitting sharp sword light.
"Another Acquired Spirit Treasure!"
"Master Li, is this a Spirit Sword you personally refined?"
"Amazing! Fierce and full of spirituality, this gold-element Spirit Sword is not far from advancing to Six-Order!"
...
Seeing the gold-element Spirit Sword Li Mu took out, the Cultivators present's eyes lit up, and they asked questions one after another.
"Fellow Daoists, please remain quiet and do not disturb the two parties' transaction." Tian Yuan Revered One gave a wry smile and quickly spoke to maintain the chaotic order.
"Alright! Let's trade!" Tian Yi Revered One pondered for a moment and agreed to the transaction, impatiently throwing the three Spirit Items to Li Mu. He reached out and, with a grab, first took the Fifth-Order Gold-element Spirit Sword into his hand, then casually put away the three bottles of Creation Pill.
Li Mu smiled happily, waved his hand, and a large amount of spiritual power emerged, supporting the three Spirit Items and putting them into his bag.
With the transaction between Tian Yi Revered One and Li Mu concluded, the next person began to take out Spirit Items and introduce them.
However, their trades all stopped at Li Mu. The high-grade Spiritual Artifacts, Spirit Pills, and Talismans he took out were all popular products that they could not refuse, and their prices were fair and easily accepted.
After several rounds of trading, it was Li Mu's turn to take out three Spirit Items for introduction. However, at this very moment, an unexpected change occurred.
