Chapter 229: Chapter 229 Is That a Pagoda in Your Pocket, or Are You Just Happy to Cultivate?
Everyone present knew that the Golden Harvest Night Market was overseen by a powerful cultivator who had reached the tenth stage and stood at the very peak of the Core Formation Realm.
Such a person could easily suppress most of the wandering cultivators who frequented the market.
Because of that, everyone maintained their best behavior while inside the market.
Of course, what happened outside its boundaries was a completely different matter.
If someone chose to leave the market with valuable treasures or beautiful companions, they might quickly discover that the wilderness surrounding the valley was far less peaceful.
Lin Feng paid little attention to the gazes around them as the group slowly wandered through the bustling marketplace.
Vendors shouted enthusiastically, cultivators bargained loudly, and the air was filled with the faint scent of medicinal herbs and burning incense.
Before long, they noticed a small crowd gathered around one particular stall.
Curiosity drew them closer.
Dozens of cultivators were surrounding a simple wooden table, each trying to push forward to get a better look at the items displayed there.
At the center of it all stood a thin old man with sharp eyes and a stubborn expression.
“A longevity pill, or an equivalent treasure with the same effect,” the old man shouted loudly, his voice carrying across the small crowd. “If you don’t have something like that, then don’t even think about taking my crystal heart pagoda off of my hands!”
His firm declaration caused the surrounding cultivators to fall silent for a moment.
A longevity pill was an extremely precious item that could extend a cultivator’s lifespan. Very few people present actually possessed something of that level.
However, the silence did not last long.
Soon enough, several cultivators began shouting their offers again, hoping to convince the old man to accept something else.
The noisy haggling resumed almost immediately.
“Just take my ten thousand spirit stones, old man. You must be dreaming if you think anyone in this barren place has a longevity pill.”
“I’ll give you twenty thousand spirit stones for the Crystal Heart Pagoda. And I’ll even take good care of your corpse afterward, Elder Mo Xuan. Just die already and spend the rest of your days peacefully.”
“I have a treasure here called the Morning Wood Spiritual Cane. It can help improve your lifespan and s…”
Many people tried to make offers, but the old man who owned the Crystal Heart Pagoda simply shook his head again and again. It was clear that none of the proposals pleased him in the slightest.
“Are you all tired of living that you’re even wishing me to die faster?!” Old Man Mo Xuan suddenly shouted.
The next moment, a terrifying spiritual pressure descended upon the scene.
The invisible force pressed down on the crowd, causing many cultivators to instinctively take a step back.
A few weaker ones were even forced to their knees as if a mountain had suddenly fallen on their shoulders.
Only then did the surrounding cultivators remember something important.
Mo Xuan was not just some random merchant.
He was a genuine powerhouse in the Core Formation Realm.
“Shouldn’t we go to another stall, Mentor Lin Feng? That kind of treasure isn’t something we can compete for,” Ning Xi said softly.
She knew very well what the Crystal Heart Pagoda was. The treasure was capable of nurturing life energy and warding off evil spirits. It would have been the perfect gift for her grandmother.
Unfortunately, the price that Old Man Mo Xuan was asking for was simply too outrageous.
A longevity pill.
That was the kind of treasure most cultivators could only dream about. Even Ning Xi knew that such pills were extremely rare.
Perhaps only the great sects possessed them, and even then, those old fogeys would never casually give away something so precious without a very good reason.
“Hmmm…” Lin Feng did not reply immediately.
Instead, he quietly released a strand of his divine sense. A single breath later, he had already examined the treasure carefully. The Crystal Heart Pagoda truly was a rare item.
It nurtured life force and dispelled evil energy, making it an ideal protective treasure.
More importantly, it would be the perfect birthday gift for Ning Xi’s grandmother.
Because of that, Lin Feng also wanted to obtain it.
Unfortunately, the only longevity pills in his possession were immortal grade longevity pills. If he were to hand something like that to Old Man Mo Xuan, it would not bring the old man fortune but disaster.
Such a treasure would immediately attract the greed of countless powerful cultivators.
In the end, Lin Feng thought of a better idea.
He calmly stepped forward.
The three women naturally followed behind him. As they approached, the surrounding men instinctively made space for them to pass. Their attention shifted from the noisy bidding to this small group instead.
Old Man Mo Xuan also focused his gaze on Lin Feng.
“What do you want, boy?” the old man asked bluntly. “If you’re planning to trade your three wives for my treasure, then I can only apologize. Your women are indeed fine and beautiful, but right now I need a longevity pill more than my need to sleep with women.”
Even as he said that, his eyes could not help roaming across the figures of Ning Xi, Ye Jian, and Li Zhiyan. His gaze lingered on them for a moment before returning to Lin Feng.
“I wish they were mine so I could offer them like that, Senior Mo Xuan,” Lin Feng replied calmly. “Sadly, they are only my friends.”
He paused briefly before continuing.
“But to answer your question, I have a tea formula that I would like to exchange for your treasure.” As he spoke, Lin Feng casually took out a pen and a piece of paper from his soul space and quickly wrote several lines on it.
“Hahaha!” Mo Xuan burst into loud laughter the moment he heard that.
“A mere tea formula for my life’s treasure? Boy, is there something wrong with your head?” he said, looking at Lin Feng as if he were a fool.
