Chapter 1176 - 801: Trade Gathering and Plans for Counterattack?
This Magical Treasure was once refined by Jia Zeyuan, a descendant of the Artifact Desolate, into his Lifebound Magical Treasure, so it naturally has its own unique aspects.
The most crucial point was that it could enhance the physical body. To others it looked as if he wasn’t using any Magical Treasure at all, but when a punch landed, they would instantly understand how terrifying it really was.
"Xu Daoist, is this Celestial Scale Grass only two thousand years old?" Ye Jingcheng still patiently asked. This Celestial Scale Grass was the other main ingredient for the Earth Dragon Pill.
However, the reason he asked was not because the age was insufficient for refining the Earth Dragon Pill, but because he felt the Celestial Scale Grass’s value was still a bit lacking. He was merely giving a tactful reminder.
Xu Qiukui immediately showed an embarrassed expression.
He knew that his Celestial Scale Grass was, after all, only a single stalk of Spirit Medicine, and naturally could not compare to a Tier Four Special Treasure.
So he spoke up as well:
"Qianchen Daoist, how about I add another share of Celestial Spirit Qi?" Xu Qiukui couldn’t bring out any other Spirit Medicine, so he remembered that there were very few Purple Mansion Cultivators in the Celestial Sand Sect.
"Naturally. In that case I’ll be taking advantage of you!" Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but say.
"This Magical Treasure of Qianchen Daoist’s suits my taste perfectly. It is I, Xu, who’s taking advantage instead!" Seeing Ye Jingcheng being polite, Xu Qiukui replied politely as well.
What disappointed Ye Jingcheng was that no one else brought out any other main ingredients. At the moment, he was still short one main ingredient for the Jade Qilin Pill, and also one main ingredient for the Tier Four Earth Dragon Pill.
"Qianchen Daoist, I have a piece of Tier Four Yang Yuan Jade here. I wonder if I can exchange it for this Tier Four Chengze Pill!" At this moment, Shan Kui True Master also sent a Transmission.
Naturally, he was very fond of this Spirit Pill, but he couldn’t take out the Spirit Medicine Ye Jingcheng wanted.
Beside them, Master Zifu also sent a Transmission:
"Qianchen Daoist, I, Zi, currently can’t find the Spirit Medicine you need, but could you give me some time? Once I find the Spirit Medicine, I’ll come back to exchange for this Longevity Spiritual Peach!"
Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng understood that his Treasures were hitting their targeted effect.
As for the requests of these two, Ye Jingcheng agreed to both.
Tier Four Yang Yuan Jade was actually not very useful to a Golden Core Cultivator, but for a Purple Mansion Cultivator, having a piece of Tier Four Yang Yuan Jade when attempting to pass the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation could increase the success rate by another ten percent.
Because it could suppress the Heart Demon.
It could only be used once, though. After that one use, its power would be exhausted.
But to Ye Jingcheng, it was still important. After all, he needed to prepare it for Chu Yanqing.
As for Master Zifu’s proposal to reserve it and exchange once he found the Spirit Medicine, Ye Jingcheng naturally agreed to that as well.
After all, his Longevity Spiritual Peaches ripened only once every twenty years.
During this period, even if he traded one away to someone else, he could still trade another with Master Zifu.
Once Ye Jingcheng finished his exchanges, it was the other people’s turn.
For the treasures that came next, Ye Jingcheng also made moves twice, and both times he used Spirit Pills for the exchanges.
One of them was traded for Golden Puppet Elemental Wood, and the other for three stalks of Tier Four Nourishing Essence Grass.
The former was obtained from Lady He and was also a main material for the Ye Family’s Tier Four Substitute Death Sand Puppet Talisman, while the latter was the main ingredient for refining the Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Pill, the Four-star Nourishing Essence Pill. For Ye Jingcheng, today’s trades truly earned him quite a lot.
When the small trading meet ended, everyone sipped Spirit Tea, their faces much more joyous. After all, it was rare to attend a shop’s grand opening and still be able to exchange for Treasures.
"Oh, right, fellow Daoists, I heard that Master Cyan Spring of the Cyan Spring Sect of Jiayuan Prefecture in Nanman Province apparently did not return from a Secret Realm expedition. The Sect now has only one Golden Core Cultivator left, and the Defense Array at their mountain gate is only Tier Four Lower. They were previously invaded by the Gui Xuan Sect. In my view, we cannot just sit here and wait for death!" Just as everyone was about to leave, Xu Qiukui shot Ye Jingcheng a meaningful look to activate the Array, then spoke mysteriously.
His words gave everyone quite a fright.
Although Evil Cultivation Forces from Nanman Province frequently came to Xiaoshan Prefecture, the forces on the Xiaoshan Prefecture side very rarely invaded and plundered Nanman Province.
After all, on their own turf, reinforcements came quickly for their Cultivators, whereas in the enemy’s territory, it was the enemy’s reinforcements that were quick.
If it wasn’t for some heaven-defying Treasure, they naturally didn’t want to take that risk.
"Xu Daoist, do you have some brilliant plan?" Master Zifu couldn’t help but ask.
He naturally didn’t want to go, but he was curious what Treasure Xu Qiukui was eyeing.
"Hehe, to be honest, fellow Daoists, I have my eye on a Primordial Star Fruit Tree inside the Cyan Spring Sect. This fruit tree only bears fruit once every fifty years, but each Star Forging Fruit can increase a Body Cultivator’s blood and qi, and can even raise the chance of a Purple Mansion Body Cultivator breaking through to become a Golden Core Body Cultivator. Such a Treasure is simply wasted in Jiayuan Prefecture. Moreover, Zifu Daoist, this Cyan Spring Sect also has a Longevity Tea Tree. Although the Longevity Tea Tree doesn’t increase Lifespan by much, it is still a Tier Four Spirit Tea Tree. That grade alone is enough to stir our hearts!" Xu Qiukui added.
But the others still shook their heads.
In the end, it was Master Yu Yun who spoke:
"Xu Daoist, this matter should wait until Mansion Master Xiao comes out of seclusion. Otherwise, even if we succeed, there will be no one to receive us so that we can retreat intact." After Master Yu Yun finished speaking, the others also nodded.
After all, Mansion Master Xiao was still recuperating. If something happened to them, there wouldn’t even be anyone to send reinforcements.
And if they wanted to escape quickly, they would need the Dragon Envoy Flying Ship—preferably an orange Dragon Envoy Flying Ship.
Otherwise, the speed of other Flying Ships would be insufficient, and the chances of being caught would be high.
One must know, if Evil Cultivators lacked anything, it certainly wasn’t strange Secret Techniques.
If they were discovered and left stranded in Jiayuan Prefecture, their chance of falling would be very high.
Hearing so many people speak up, Xu Qiukui wasn’t angered; he only nodded.
"Then let’s wait until Mansion Master Xiao comes out of seclusion before discussing this again!" After Xu Qiukui finished, everyone dispersed.
After seeing off the Golden Core True Masters, Ye Jingcheng went to a room to the side.
Inside this room, Ye Xingliu was receiving Xiao He.
Although in public Xiao He’s status was almost on par with a Golden Core, when no one else was around he was still separated from the Golden Core True Masters. Xiao He naturally understood such etiquette, so he wasn’t angry and was chatting idly with Ye Xingliu.
The conversation was actually quite pleasant.
When Ye Jingcheng arrived, Xiao He quickly stood up:
"Elder Qianchen."
"Xiao Daoist, I did not entertain you properly today. I hope you won’t take offense!"
"Elder Qianchen, your hospitality here surpasses that of many Golden Core Influences. I am already somewhat ill at ease." Xiao He held a cup of Tier Three Spirit Tea, then continued:
"Elder Qianchen, some Treasures have recently arrived in Xiaoshan Prefecture. If you wish to exchange them with merit points, now would be the time!"
