Chapter 57 The Exchange Meeting
"Is the talented Su Bingyun from the Cang Ling Sect actually stepping in to compete with Qian Xue for a man? She's making such a bold move, willing to give away a second-order superior spiritual land like Wolf Ridge!"
Hu Yunhui's heart stirred with shock, and she couldn't help but glance over at Ling Qianxue.
Xiao Xixi and Zheng Yushan also couldn't resist turning their gazes toward Ling Qianxue.
In Xiao Xixi's eyes was disbelief, after all, Su Bingyun was the Kunxiu she admired the most!
Ling Qianxue still had a sweet smile on her face.
A plethora of curious glances fell upon Zhao Yu, but none of the cultivators dared to speak out of turn.
"I declare the exchange event officially open! Since I'm presiding over the event, I'll start by laying the cornerstone to draw out the jade!"
Su Bingyun's face was calm as she stepped onto a small platform inside the hall and produced a jade bottle, saying, "Inside here is a Superior Red Heart Pill! It can greatly enhance the cultivation level of late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators and also increase the success rate of achieving Foundation Establishment by fifty percent."
"One Superior Red Heart Pill requires ten medium-grade spirit stones, or you can exchange it for a hundred years' worth of Seven-Patterned Jade Ganoderma, second-order Evil Ghost Relics, Second-Order Demon Beast Inner Pills, and various rare heavenly and earthly treasures."
Su Bingyun hadn't finished speaking when a flurry of heated gazes descended upon the elixir in her hand.
"A Superior Red Heart Pill! It can actually increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by fifty percent! It's almost comparable to Foundation Establishment spiritual objects."
"What a treasure!! Worthy of being Su Fairy!!"
"…"
Those in the late stage of Qi Refinement were all excited because spirit pills that could enhance the success rate of Foundation Establishment by fifty percent were extremely rare. They weren't sold in any markets, and even in the Dan Ling Sect, famous for its elixirs, such Superior Red Heart Pills were scarce and hardly ever circulated outside.
"A Superior Red Heart Pill! Could it be that he refined it? His alchemy skills are truly not simple! What a pleasant surprise!"
Ling Qianxue thoughtfully glanced at Zhao Yu, a guess forming in her mind.
A Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator dressed in a gray robe shouted, "Su Fairy, I offer one hundred medium-grade spirit stones for ten Superior Red Heart Pills!!"
Another Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator with an ugly face hastily called out, "Su Fairy, I offer fifty medium-grade spirit stones for five Superior Red Heart Pills!"
"…"
Su Bingyun said, "Everyone, I haven't finished speaking! I currently only have thirty Superior Red Heart Pills. Priority will be given to bartering. First come, first served. If they can't be traded, then I'll sell them for spirit stones!"
In a resource-scarce place like the Northern Desolation, often times even with spirit stones, one couldn't buy various rare materials. That's why various auctions and exchange events emerged.
Upon hearing Su Bingyun's words, the scene grew quiet as the cultivators weighed their options. Superior Red Heart Pills were indeed good items; they were willing to purchase them with spirit stones, but when it came to exchanging with spirit materials, they hesitated.
A late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator asked, "How many Superior Red Heart Pills can a hundred-year-old Seven-Patterned Jade Ganoderma get me?"
Su Bingyun replied, "You can exchange it for one pill!"
"I'll exchange for five!"
The late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator hesitated for a moment, then took out five jade boxes and handed them over to Su Bingyun.
After verifying their contents, Su Bingyun exchanged five Superior Red Heart Pills with the late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator.
A Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator asked, "I have a low-grade Evil Ghost Relic from a Second-Order ghost creature. How many Red Heart Pills can I exchange for it?"
Su Bingyun responded, "Three!"
The Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator said, "I'll exchange for three!"
Those cultivators in the later stages of Qi Refinement all brought out various precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures to exchange with Su Bingyun, and swiftly twenty Superior Red Heart Pills were traded away.
A cultivator in the later stages of Qi Refinement hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and said, "Fairy Su, I would like to conduct a more secret transaction with you!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Su Bingyun's eyes as she said, "That's fine! Please follow me."
Su Bingyun and that cultivator in the later stages of Qi Refinement entered a small room next to them directly.
It wasn't long before the cultivator in the later stages of Qi Refinement came out with Su Bingyun, his face full of joy.
"Fairy Su, I will take my leave first!"
The cultivator in the later stages of Qi Refinement gave Su Bingyun a bow and turned to fly away.
Su Bingyun glanced at the other cultivators and said indifferently, "Those who wish to leave must wait for the time of one incense stick! When I traded with him, I promised to ensure his safety."
Several Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivators who were itching to move could only become honest.
Although Su Bingyun had an excellent reputation and acted fairly, she was equally ruthless when it came to killing; countless cultivators had died by her hand.
Su Bingyun said, "All of the Superior Red Heart Pills I had have been traded, and now we will enter the free trading session."
The expressions of many cultivators in the later stages of Qi Refinement changed slightly, and a hint of regret passed through their eyes. With just that moment of hesitation, they had lost the chance to acquire Superior Red Heart Pills.
"I'll go first!"
Zhao Yu stood up and came onto the stage, saying, "I have Superior Yellow Spirit Pills, Red Jade Pills, Red Heart Pills, as well as a large number of Spirit Stones.
I would like to exchange for various Earth Attribute second-order heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Second-Order Spiritual Medicines, Second-Order Spirits Wood, Second-Order Demon Beast flesh and blood, inner cores, and other rare second-order and above heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
A Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator said, "I have a Second-Order Green Jade Wood to exchange for five Red Heart Pills!"
"Good!"
Zhao Yu gave a slight nod, checked the item, and then handed over five Red Heart Pills to the cultivator.
Many cultivators came forward to trade with Zhao Yu, allowing him to acquire a good number of Second-Order Spirit Wood, Second-Order Spiritual Medicines, and various second-order heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Many of the cultivators participating in this exchange event had taken part in the expedition against the Wang family, and they had obtained many heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the fallen Wang family. Naturally, they were willing to trade for elixirs that could enhance their mana during the exchange event.
After Zhao Yu had finished his exchanges, one by one, the Qi Refinement cultivators went up to trade with the other cultivators.
A Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator hesitated for a moment before stepping onto the stage directly, took out a jade box and opened it, revealing a Mountain Spirit Core that was fist-sized and suffused with wisps of spiritual energy.
The Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator looked towards Su Bingyun with some anticipation, "This is a Mountain Spirit Core, a heavenly material and earthly treasure that was born by chance after the collapse of a Third-Order medium-grade Spirit Vein. It is also an excellent material for refining magical treasures. I wish to exchange it for a Foundation Establishment Pill!"
Gazes fell upon Su Bingyun, and in the entire exchange event, only Su Bingyun, the genius disciple of the Cang Ling Sect, was likely to have a Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Mountain Spirit Core! This is the best material for cultivating an Earth Attribute Spirit Body!!"
A hint of burning desire instantly swept through Zhao Yu's eyes as he looked towards Su Bingyun and slightly nodded.
Su Bingyun said, "I want to check the goods first!"
"Please!"
The Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator handed the jade box to Su Bingyun.
After Su Bingyun carefully inspected it, she handed over a jade bottle containing a Foundation Establishment Pill to the cultivator, "This is a Foundation Establishment Pill, please check it!"
The cultivator opened the jade bottle and smelled the scent, a hint of pleasure crossing his eyes, then sealed the bottle and said, "Senior Su, I will take my leave first!"
