Chapter 616 - 616: Exchange for the Armored Wood Vine
“Hahaha!
Fairy Wu, why didn’t you inform us in advance that you were holding such a gathering?
Now that we’ve come uninvited, I hope you and the fellow cultivators here
wouldn’t mind our presence.”
A voice sounded before the figure had even arrived, causing the expressions of everyone present to shift slightly.
Arrogant, how arrogant!
One could clearly see that a trace of anger had already appeared in the eyes of many people present.
Wu Bingyun was no exception.
However, as the host of this Grand Cultivator Trade Fair, she quickly calmed down after her initial emotions.
Her face betrayed no further emotion as she calmly said, “Why would we not welcome esteemed guests like yourselves?
We didn’t notify you because we were aware of your busy schedules and didn’t wish to intrude.
Since you are here now, please join us.”
Though she invited them to take a seat, there were no spare seats in the area designated for the grand cultivators.
This made some of the people who were originally angry curl their lips into a mocking smile.
Tianfu and Tianhe, however, were unfazed. They cheerfully produced two chairs from their storage rings and seated themselves among the others.
Tianfu even joked, “Fairy Wu, it seems you need to improve the education of your disciples.
They don’t even know to offer a seat to a senior, which is quite lacking in manners.”
Wu Bingyun’s pretty face immediately darkened.
-How I educate my disciples is my own business. You don’t have to worry about
it.”
After this retort, she redirected her attention to the other grand cultivators.
“Everyone, it’s almost time. If there’s nothing else, let’s begin.”
As she spoke, she took out two jade boxes.
The jade box was opened.
There were two items inside.
One was a yellow Spiritual Fruit.
After consuming it, it could increase the Dharmic power of a grand cultivator for 80 years.
The other item was a fist-sized red crystal.
It was called the Red Dragon Jade. It was a precious material to refine a level 5 True Treasure or increase the power of a level 5 fire-element True Treasure.
“The value of these items speaks for itself.
I wish to exchange them for ice attribute materials of similar quality, or corresponding Level 5 pills or spiritual items.
It was undeniable that the two items Wu Bingyun took out were attractive to
many grand cultivators.
Especially the Yellow Spiritual Fruit.
At their level of cultivation, every increase in Dharmic power required a long time.
If they could obtain the Yellow Spiritual Fruit, it would definitely increase their total Dharmic powers by a lot.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn’t have any thoughts about the two items.
In fact.
With their current foundation, other than some special items and some spiritual items needed to break through to Soul Formation, it was already very difficult for them to be interested in anything else.
However, the others present were different.
Soon, someone offered Wu Bingyun the items she sought, and a successful exchange was made.
“I have a Level 5 Earth Heart Lotus Fire,” announced Perfected Lord Wan Cang, producing a flame that appeared yellow on the outside but green at its core. This Earth Heart Lotus Fire, ranked forty-third among the heavenly fires, caught Shen Ruyan’s attention, and she looked towards Jiang Chengxuan, seeking his opinion on whether they should acquire this rare and powerful flame.
However, Jiang Chengxuan shook his head at Shen Ruyan, indicating that they would not pursue the Earth Heart Lotus Fire.
At this moment, he already had the Ruby Flame and the Pure Yang True Fire.
If the Sun True Fire in the Eternal Scorching Sun Furnace was included, there would be three types.
Although the Earth Heart Lotus Fire was also a Heavenly Flame, it was really not of much use to the current Jiang Chengxuan.
Unless it was a Heavenly Flame like the Pure Yin True Fire, Jiang Chengxuan
would not really care.
After Wan Cang completed his trade, it was Perfected Lord Nether Star’s turn.
He presented a vine emitting a vibrant green glow, brimming with a strong sense of vitality.
At its tip was a crystal resembling an emerald, exuding an unmatched wood
energy.
That is?
Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes narrowed.
Perfected Lord Nether Star announced, “This is a Level 5 Armored Wood Vine. I wish to exchange it for an item that can enhance the strength of the Primordial Spirit.”
His announcement immediately captured the attention of everyone present, including Tianfu and Tianhe, who exchanged a glance.
He suddenly took out a white fruit from his body and said to Perfected Lord Nether Star,
“Fellow Daoist Nether Star, this White Jade Phantom Fruit can strengthen a cultivator’s Primordial Spirit. I wonder if I can exchange it for the Armored Wood Vine?”
When he saw the White Jade Phantom Fruit, Perfected Lord Nether Star’s eyes lit up even though he knew that they were enemies.
But soon, his expression darkened.
This was because the aura on the White Jade Phantom Fruit that Tianhe took
out was not pure.
It was obvious that it had been previously tainted and only superficially cleansed.
Although it was still usable, Its efficacy and value were significantly reduced. “Aren’t you being unreasonable to use this impure White Jade Phantom Fruit to exchange for this Armored Wood Vine?” In response to Perfected Lord Nether Star’s question, Tianfu and Tianhe did not seem to mind.
Tianfu chuckled and said, “Fellow Daoist Nether Star, your words are not quite right.
I think, Fellow Daoist Nether Star, the reason you want to use the Armored Wood Vine to exchange for an item that can enhance the strength of your Primordial Spirit is probably to prepare for the breakthrough to Soul Formation, right?
You must also be aware that there aren’t many spiritual items that can be useful to you.
It just so happens that our White Jade Phantom Fruit is one of them. Although it was once contaminated by demonic Qi, we have already cleansed it.
This, I’m sure you, and everyone present, can see.
As for its aura not being so pure, that can’t be helped.
After all, having been contaminated by demonic Qi, it’s normal for its spiritual nature to be somewhat diminished.
in other words, if this White Jade Phantom Fruit is still in good condition, your Armored Wood Vine will probably be of equal value.”
Undeniably, Tianfu’s words did have some truth to them.
There were indeed not many treasures that could help peak Nascent Soul cultivators increase the strength of their Primordial Spirits.
Although the Armored Wood Vine was precious and had endless uses,
In comparison, it was indeed slightly inferior.
However, it was hard to say how useful this White Jade Phantom Fruit, which had been contaminated by demonic Qi and reduced its spirituality, would be to peak Nascent Soul cultivators.
Otherwise, why didn’t Tianfu and Tianhe consume the fruit themselves?
Perfected Lord Nether Star was conflicted.
To be honest, he was indeed in urgent need of an item that could help enhance the strength of his Primordial Spirit.
If the White Jade Phantom Fruit was intact and had not been contaminated by demonic qi, he would not hesitate to exchange for it.
But now…
Just as Nether Star was hesitating, a voice suddenly brought him back to reality.
-Fellow Daoist Nether Star, if you want to use the Armored Wood Vine to exchange for a treasure that can strengthen your Primordial Spirit, why don’t you take a look at my Void Serene Begonia?”
The person who spoke was Jiang Chengxuan.
As soon as he saw the other party take out the Armored Wood Vine, Jiang Cheng Chengxuan had already decided, no matter what, he had to exchange it for himself.
This was a major matter that concerned whether he could successfully refine the Eastern Green Dragon Flag. He could not afford to be negligent.
Perfected Lord Nether Star did not expect such a turn of events. He immediately looked at Jiang Chengxuan impatiently and said, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, can you show me the Void Serene Begonia you mentioned first?”
“Of course.”
Jiang Chengxuan smiled faintly. Then, he reached out and handed a jade box to Perfected Lord Nether Star.
Perfected Lord Nether Star opened the jade box immediately. What entered his eyes was indeed an intact Void Serene Begonia. This caused him to be overjoyed.
Without any hesitation, he hurriedly nodded at Jiang Chengxuan.
“Alright, Fellow Daoist Jiang, I’ll exchange with you!”
As he spoke, he pushed the jade box containing the Armored Wood Vine into Jiang Chengxuan’s hand.
After a while.
Perfected Lord Nether Star spoke again, “Speaking of which, by exchanging this Armored Wood Vine for your Void Serene Begonia, I indeed have taken some advantage of you.
How about this? I’ll take out some more items, and you can choose one from them.”
As he spoke, Perfected Lord Nether Star took out several items from his body. Materials, medicinal pills, talismans, there was everything.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan glanced at each other.
There was really nothing useful for them.
Just as Jiang Chengxuan was about to choose an item casually, the Spirit Devouring Beetle King in his Beast Taming Bag suddenly sent him a message. In an instant, Jiang Chengxuan’s gaze immediately landed on a gray stone. Jiang Chengxuan immediately picked up the stone and smiled at Perfected Lord Nether Star.
“Fellow Daoist Nether Star, I’ll take this item..
