Chapter 1186 - 810: Zi Fu Makes a Move, Water Moon Flower
Inside the pavilion, at this moment, Ye Jingcheng was also somewhat anxious.
The other party wanted to exchange for a defense-type Tier Four magical treasure and a Tier Four Spirit Talisman. He didn’t have the Spirit Talisman, and as for defense-type magical treasures, he had the Tier Four High Grade Celestial Illusion Robe and the Tier Four Middle Grade Black Profound Robe, but to be honest, all three of the other party’s treasures might not even match up to his Black Profound Robe treasure.
Aside from these two treasures, in terms of defense-type and lightweight magical treasures, he only had the Black Patterned Magic Shield and Spirit-Stepping Boots.
However, the former was pierced by the Zhang Family during the Golden Core Combat and hadn’t been repaired yet, and as for the Spirit-Stepping Boots, Ye Jingcheng was honestly reluctant to part with them, as they would be excellent for Ye Xuefan in the future.
But if he missed this opportunity because the other party concealed their identity, even if Ye Jingcheng wanted to negotiate with them again, it wouldn’t be possible.
"Could a damaged defense magical treasure be exchanged for the Elemental Realm Stone?" Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
After all, the other party’s item was merely Spirit Materials, and his damaged treasure was not inferior in value to theirs.
However, bartering isn’t just about equivalent value; it’s about whether the other party is willing, whether they want it.
Sure enough, the other party didn’t agree.
But after all, it’s one of the three main materials of a Tier Four Stone Block, so Ye Jingcheng still intended to offer the Spirit-Stepping Boots, but it was Master Zifu who spoke first, sitting beside him.
"I have a Golden Silk Treasure Clothing here, capable of warding off cold and fire, and resistant to blades and swords!"
"However, all three treasures must be exchanged, and you must add two hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"
Typically, the price of a Tier Four Lower-Grade magical treasure ranges from 800,000 to 2,500,000 Spirit Stones.
And the price of defense magical treasures is naturally among the higher end, mostly between 1,500,000 to 2,500,000 Spirit Stones.
Though the other party’s Tier Four Spirit Materials are good and quite rare, their value is around only 600,000 to 700,000 Spirit Stones, totaling less than 2,000,000 Spirit Stones together for the three items.
"Let me take a look!" the other party indeed responded accordingly.
Master Zifu then took out the Golden Silk Treasure Clothing and placed it on the Spirit Platform, and soon, the Spirit Platform shone with white light.
The treasure clothing vanished in a flash from the Spirit Platform, and, intriguingly, the three treasures from the Treasure Display Pavilion followed the white light’s movement, appearing before the four people.
In addition, there was a Storage Bag containing Spirit Stones.
Evidently, this Storage Bag was the additional two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
At this moment, everyone could observe the treasures up close. The Elemental Realm Stone was only palm-sized, but its Spirit Patterns flickered, and a Divine Sense probe would feel blocked as though by a spatial barrier.
The Three-Star Fruit was only the size of an infant’s fist, while the Hundred-Forged Geng Gold was as large as a basin mouth.
It weighed about three pounds.
However, when trying to take it out, one was blocked by a Spirit Shield.
This Spirit Shield was also a crucial step in exchanging treasures, requiring both pavilions to agree and lay down a simple Forbidden Array to remove the Spirit Shield, or else it would automatically return to its original state after ten breaths.
"Agreed!" Before long, the sound of agreement came from the other side.
Only then did the Spirit Shield disappear.
The three treasures appeared before the three individuals.
"Qianchen Daoist, this Elemental Realm Stone is useless to me. Might I exchange it with you for a Spirit Pill?" Master Zifu looked at Ye Jingcheng.
Clearly, his act of exchanging the three treasures was in consideration of Ye Jingcheng.
"Agreed to exchange!" Ye Jingcheng directly took out a Jade Box, but it wasn’t a Spirit Pill; it was the Longevity Spiritual Peach he had taken out at a prior trade event.
He originally intended to exchange the Longevity Spiritual Peach for the final main ingredients of the Jade Qilin Pill and Earth Dragon Pill.
Earlier, Master Zifu had also promised Ye Jingcheng to quickly find these Spirit Medicines to exchange with him.
Now, with the other party helping him get the Elemental Realm Stone without seeking the Longevity Spiritual Peach in return, Ye Jingcheng definitely wouldn’t offer just a Spirit Pill, as he held great respect for Master Zifu.
He didn’t concern himself with whether the other party was trying to befriend him or saw potential in him.
Indeed, Master Zifu was of significant assistance to him at present.
"This..." Master Zifu’s expression swept over the Jade Box, initially startled, then full of delight.
It was apparent he didn’t expect Ye Jingcheng to provide not a Spirit Pill but a Longevity Spiritual Peach.
Such a thing was much more precious than a Spirit Pill, especially as Master Zifu didn’t have much lifespan left, making it all the more invaluable.
Therefore, even though he hesitated and his throat moved slightly, he ultimately didn’t utter any courteous or declining words.
"Zifu Daoist, for the Spirit Medicines earlier, I still need to collect them. I’ll use a Spirit Pill to exchange next time!" At this moment, Ye Jingcheng didn’t mention he had another Longevity Spiritual Peach.
After all, life-extending Spirit Medicines are different from ordinary Spirit Medicines; taking out one or two can be excused due to drug tolerance.
But showing too many would imply possession of a Longevity Spirit Tree.
Even if Ye Jingcheng were to exchange in the future, it would have to be in a separate pavilion.
As Ye Jingcheng spoke, Master Zifu became even more grateful.
He waved his hand, pushing the Three-Star Fruit and Geng Gold toward Ye Jingcheng.
"Zifu Daoist, no need for this. The Elemental Realm Stone alone is sufficient!" Ye Jingcheng shook his head.
Yet he couldn’t resist Master Zifu’s enthusiasm and finally had to accept the Three-Star Fruit as well.
After Ye Jingcheng completed his treasure trade in the pavilion, two more treasures appeared in the distant Treasure Display Pavilion.
This time, the two treasures were a water-attribute Flying Sword Treasure and a Tier Four Water-Attribute Demon King Demon Pill.
With the appearance of these two treasures, the surrounding pavilions seemed to perk up with interest.
Lady He, in the pavilion with Ye Jingcheng, also had her eyes light up.
"These two treasures are only exchanged for fire-attribute magical treasures!"
Lady He indeed took out a fire-attribute magical treasure and began to inquire.
She practiced a Water Attribute Cultivation Technique, but to Ye Jingcheng’s surprise, Lady He didn’t exchange for the Water-Attribute Flying Sword and instead chose the Tier Four Water-Attribute Demon King’s Demon Pill.
After all, a Tier Four Demon King Demon Pill can create a Fake Pill Cultivator.
Although Fake Pill Cultivators have no future, they can extend the inheritance.
However, even so, this Tier Four Demon King Demon Pill is extremely sought after, and Lady He didn’t make the exchange; instead, she exchanged it for a Tier Four Water Attribute Flying Sword Treasure.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also realized that in the Central Domain, the Gold Condensing Pill and Tier Four Demon Pill are the most coveted.
The subsequent treasure exchanges mostly involved some rare Tier Four Spirit Materials and Tier Four Treasures, which were not very appealing to Ye Jingcheng.
Yet, he gained considerable knowledge and became more aware of the treasure scarcity in the Southern Wilderness Province of the Central Domain.
The demon pill treasures here and the essence blood treasures of demon beasts are somewhat higher than in the Eastern Domain, obviously because the Southern Wilderness Province lacks the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and most demon beasts are raised by various forces.
In this place, one must take a teleportation array to the Celestial Demon Province and enter the Celestial Demon Mountain Range if they want to hunt demon beasts.
Because of this, special-type treasures are rarer and more valuable.
In contrast, conventional treasures made from Flying Sword and sword-blade-type mineral materials are substantially cheaper.
Ye Jingcheng watched for a while, and his inspiration sparked.
He still had several Tier Four Demon Pills in his storage bag.
During the Beast Tide in the East Sea, Ye Jingcheng had slain many Demon Kings, and in the Desert Sea, he killed several Black Crow Demon Kings.
Though he used some for alchemy, he kept one of each.
At this moment, it was clear they could be used.
Moreover, Ye Jingcheng estimated that if he hunted demon beasts in the East Sea and then sold them in the Central Domain, it would surely be a profitable business.
Of course, the premise is that the Ye Family can safeguard this foundation.
He never believed in the fairness of the Righteous Sect; to him, the current fairness is merely because the treasure hasn’t caught the opponent’s attention.
If some spiritual treasures truly appeared, they would likely act more ruthlessly than the Profound Celestial Demon Sect and Penglai Demon Sect.
While Ye Jingcheng pondered, Master Shuide began to speak.
He was one of the few not concealing his treasures, showing them openly to everyone, his voice unreserved, clearly filled with confidence.
He took out a treasure, a Water Moon Flower.
This Water Moon Flower was extremely magical; it was invisible in water and hidden in air, revealing only under the clear moonlight, accompanied by a Moonlight Stone beside it.
And this Water Moon Flower was none other than the last main ingredient for the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.
Even Master Zi Fu’s eyes glimmered with radiance.
Evidently, he desired the exchange and intended to hand it to Ye Jingcheng afterward.
Besides the Water Moon Flower, there was also a magical treasure resembling a flower basket.
This flower basket treasure increased Ye Jingcheng’s interest.
After all, such treasures are typically mysterious, and ordinary cultivators wouldn’t readily exchange them.
But knowing the other party was in the Late Stage of the Golden Core and even a Nascent Soul Seed cultivator, Ye Jingcheng understood.
Indeed, however mysterious a Tier Four Lower-grade Treasure might be, it’s of little use to a Late Stage Golden Core cultivator.
"These two treasures are only exchanged for Water Attribute treasures, preferably ones that benefit my cultivation." Master Shuide’s exchange was straightforward.
Ye Jingcheng was the first to speak.
"Shuide Daoist, can the Tier Four Flower Pattern Demon King Demon Pill be exchanged for the Water Moon Flower?" Ye Jingcheng directly asked, having lured and killed the Flower Pattern Demon King in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.
Ye Jingcheng received no response, even Master Zi Fu was tense, not having any water-attribute spiritual objects to advance his cultivation.
After waiting a moment, Ye Jingcheng had to speak again:
"Plus a Tier Four Cyan Flood Dragon Pill!"
Ye Jingcheng couldn’t offer any other Tier Four Water Attribute Demon Pills and found it inconvenient to display other Tier Four Demon Pills.
Since he was from the Desert Sea, frequently presenting Sea Domain Demon King Demon Pills seemed suspicious.
He had already risked much by offering the Flower Pattern Demon King Demon Pill.
As Ye Jingcheng mentioned the Cyan Flood Dragon Pill, unsurprisingly, Master Shuide looked over.
"Agreed!"
"I also need three hundred thousand Spirit Stones!" Ye Jingcheng added.
The Water Moon Flower, with a medicinal effect lasting three thousand years, was worth eighty to ninety thousand Spirit Stones, but Ye Jingcheng had offered two treasures.
"Accepted!" Master Shuide, certainly not short of Spirit Stones, made the generous exchange.
Ye Jingcheng exhaled deeply, needing only a chance to return and kill the Silver Moon Demon King; then the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon could advance.
Ye Jingcheng, after exchanging these treasures, felt the trip was already worthwhile.
Afterward, irrespective of whether he gained anything else, it didn’t matter.
Not long after, it was Ye Jingcheng’s turn; he took out two Tier Four Spirit Pills, intending to exchange treasures for the main ingredients of the Earth Dragon Pill and the Five-Colored Golden Falcon Pill.
But he did not succeed.
In the end, he could only return the Spirit Pills.
Meanwhile, the He Yu Dual Cultivation couple took out two magical treasures to exchange for Tier Four Demon King Demon Pills.
Ye Jingcheng had them but didn’t speak up or make the exchange.
After all, he had already offered one, and the magical treasures weren’t very appealing to him.
"I have a Red Flame Celestial Lion cub to exchange for a Tier Four Middle-grade and above magical treasure!" At this moment, a resonant voice rang out.
The owner of the voice was none other than the Grand Elder of the Hundred Beasts Sect, Master Qian He, whom Ye Jingcheng was familiar with.
