Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Blazing Heaven Sword, Dragon and Snake Powder
The reason Elder Jiang was willing to offer this Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture was because this cultivation technique itself had no real combat ability; it was merely a longevity technique meant for life extension.
There was really no need to reveal the weaknesses of his father’s technique just to exchange for a few extra decades of lifespan, which would leave a significant hidden danger.
Even without harnessing techniques to prolong life, there would be relentless cultivation in the future, relying on personal efforts to increase cultivation, thereby extending lifespan.
"The Cyan Mountain Sect is not fated with this technique either."
As this thought cross his mind, Lu Yuanshan immediately spoke, offering a response.
The group of cultivators shook their heads in secret, feeling a bit disappointed that such a technique actually had no one willing to exchange for it.
Some cultivators with ulterior motives even started to entertain the idea of murder and treasure-stealing in their hearts.
If someone were to exchange for it, perhaps there could be an ambush afterward, eliminating the need to offer any treasures while obtaining the other party’s belongings and seizing the Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture.
"I wonder if a crystallization-level sword cultivation technique would be feasible?"
"I am Zhang Yuanqing, the Sect Leader of Yijian Sect, willing to offer a scroll of crystallization technique in exchange with the Fairy."
After a long silence, a cultivator finally spoke—it was Zhang Yuanqing, whose cultivation had reached late-stage crystallization.
Yijian Sect is a crystallization sect in the Qi Kingdom, primarily focusing on the path of the sword, known as a renowned sword cultivation sect, ranked first among the three major crystallization sects in the Qi Kingdom.
Zhang Yuanqing’s action was like a stone dropped into a tranquil lake, stirring ripples and instantly capturing the attention of all the cultivators present.
A few who had heard of the Yijian Sect Leader, like Xuu Qingshan, and two Qi Kingdom crystallization rogue cultivators, were already pondering Zhang Yuanqing’s cultivation journey, what divine techniques he practiced, and what were his signature lethal moves.
Merely within a short time, recalling Zhang Yuanqing seemed like they were prematurely assessing the prey’s strength.
Lu Yuanshan and his siblings learned about Zhang Yuanqing for the first time, merely taking a closer look to recognize the face.
More Chu Kingdom cultivators were in similar situations, unfamiliar with Zhang Yuanqing, hearing about him for the first time.
"Crystallization technique is still inadequate."
Liiu Qiumei gently shook her head.
Zhang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, no longer speaking.
Even crystallization technique could not meet the requirement or obtain the Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture.
In the scene, no one could offer a Golden Core sword cultivation technique, so naturally, Liiu Qiumei wouldn’t exchange the Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture.
Thus, this technique became the first item to go unsold, with no one making an exchange.
Although everyone felt regret, upon careful consideration, none had the capability to exchange either, leaving only helplessness.
Simultaneously, this made everyone raise their estimation of Elder Jiang, increasingly perceiving him as unfathomable and absolutely unprovokable.
Just bringing out the Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture, such a Golden Core level longevity technique, who could guess what other formidable techniques and divine skills the opponent held?
After the first unsold treasure item appeared, some of the final treasures presented included some Moonlight Powder.
Moonlight Powder is a Spirit Pill that can assist Foundation Establishment cultivators with their establishment, increasing success rate by ten percent.
While its effect can be like the Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk, its function is limited to just this.
The Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk, in contrast, has far greater uses, beyond mere comparison with Moonlight Powder.
One portion of Moonlight Powder’s value equates to a Tier Two Middle Grade spiritual artifact, and Lu Yuanshan seized the opportunity to exchange one portion of Moonlight Powder for Lu Changfeng.
Thus, the trade conference concluded.
"This concludes the Cold Mountain Pavilion’s trade conference; thank you all for your participation."
"Next, you may communicate among yourselves and proceed with a small-scale trade between each other."
After Liiu Qiumei said these words, she walked down from the high platform and no longer engaged in trading.
The cultivators exchanged glances, understanding the meaning of communication referred to by Liiu Qiumei.
This is everyone continuing with transactions amongst themselves; whoever you want to exchange with, just say whatever you wish to trade.
A mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Xuu Family took out a segment of Void Cyan Spirit Wood, intending to exchange for a Tier Three Lower Grade spiritual artifact on the spot.
Void Cyan Spirit Wood is a treasure capable of supporting cultivators with Wood Attribute Spirit Roots in cultivation, increasing the chance of breakthrough in Foundation Establishment stage by twenty percent.
Although effective, it only exerts its miraculous effects on cultivators with Wood Attributes.
This segment of Void Cyan Spirit Wood was exchanged by a Foundation Establishment elder from the Heaven-Facing Sect, offering a Tier Three Lower Grade Water Attribute flying sword.
For Foundation Establishment cultivators of this age, exchanging breakthrough assisting treasures were basically intended for their descendants.
Exchanges like this were numerous, often loose cultivators offering idle artifacts in trade.
Occasionally, there’d be a few artifact refining treasures or cultivation technique Jade Scrolls, sparking small-scale interest, later exchanged for items of highest value after comparison.
As Lu Yuanshan and several others were observing whether there were decent treasures worth pursuing, a loose cultivator approached Lu Yuanshan proactively.
"Daoist friend, I am Ma Xianming and I seek to trade a Tier Three Top-Grade fire attribute flying sword, Blazing Heaven Sword, for a bottle of Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk."
"Would Daoist be willing?"
Ma Xianming spoke with keen eyes, stating his identity.
"Tier Three Top-Grade Artifact!"
Upon learning what Ma Xianming offered, Lu Yuanshan’s eyes narrowed.
Fire attribute flying sword perfectly met the need for Lu Changfeng’s use.
Once Lu Changfeng succeeded in Foundation Establishment, he could command the Blazing Heaven Sword, significantly enhancing combat power.
Though touched, by the value of Tier Three artifact, it remained insufficient to trade for one bottle of Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk.
After all, Tier Three Top-Grade artifacts cannot compare in value to a Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Big brother, we’re losing out a bit; let’s not trade."
Lu Changfeng communicated quietly.
Lu Yuanshan nodded and responded, "Daoist Ma, I have no need for a fire attribute flying sword for now; therefore, I cannot trade."
Hearing this, Ma Xianming’s gaze turned slightly, hesitating for a moment before increasing the offer.
"How about this, I’ll add one bottle of Tier Three Top-Grade elixir, Dragon and Snake Powder; this kind of elixir can increase Foundation Establishment cultivators’ cultivation prowess. Would this suffice?"
One Tier Three Top-Grade flying sword, along with one bottle of Tier Three Top-Grade elixir—this value appealed to Lu Yuanshan.
Lu Zhiwei and Lu Changfeng were also eager.
"Deal."
At this moment, it was Lu Ping who communicated.
For treasures that could increase Foundation Establishment cultivation, they were highly sought after, the more the better.
On this journey, they had three portions of Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk.
With Lu Ping’s permission, this deal was naturally reached.
"Then thank you, Daoist friend."
Having obtained a small bottle of Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk, Ma Xianming’s face lit with joy, taking a deep glance at Lu Yuanshan before departing without another word.
Following that, transactions among cultivators continued.
Given the acquisition of Foundation Establishment Pill, Jade Marrow Golden Branch, one portion of Moonlight Powder, along with Blazing Heaven Sword and Dragon and Snake Powder, trades also couldn’t be done in spirit stones; Lu Yuanshan decided not to touch the Golden Silk Silkworm and Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper.
These would remain for personal use in the future.
Hence, the subsequent trades had nothing to do with Lu Ping and his four companions.
