Chapter 1223: Gold and Diamond Glass Liquid and Spiritual Treasure

Yuan Gang looked around, then walked towards Blazing Cloud Cultivator and sat down beside him.

A look of surprise flashed in Wang Changsheng's eyes. It seemed Blazing Cloud Cultivator knew Yuan Gang.

"Alright, everyone's here. Let's begin! I'll start first."

Li Jiong walked to an empty table, flicked his sleeve over the surface, and a green jade casket and a blue jade box appeared.

The jade casket contained a green ginseng with golden patterns on its surface, emitting a pure medicinal fragrance. Inside the blue jade box was an egg-sized blue spherical object, emanating faint mists of water vapor.

"One two-thousand-year-old Azure Gold Ginseng and one fourth-tier Tidal Sea Crab inner core, in exchange for fire-attribute artifact forging or alchemy materials."

Wang Changsheng and Fairy Ziyue didn't understand alchemy, so they weren't very interested in these two materials.

Fourth-tier spirit water was the best elixir. What Wang Changsheng needed was fourth-tier spirit water. Even if he acquired a fourth-tier demon core, Wang Qingqi couldn't refine a fourth-tier elixir.

These two materials were excellent alchemy ingredients. Ye Rou'er and several other Nascent Soul cultivators stepped forward, exchanged private messages with Li Jiong, and then showed him their items for inspection.

Others didn't know what they discussed, but Ye Rou'er successfully traded for the two-thousand-year-old Azure Gold Ginseng.

One after another, Nascent Soul cultivators came forward, some presenting artifact forging materials, others displaying magical treasures. All were rare items. Naturally, some exchanges were successful, while others were not.

Wang Changsheng and Fairy Ziyue coveted several items, but they couldn't produce what the sellers wanted, so they could only watch as their desired treasures fell into others' hands.

A quarter of an hour later, Blazing Cloud Cultivator stepped forward, revealing a golden porcelain bottle and a half-zhang-long piece of black spirit wood.

"One bottle of Vajra Glaze Liquid and one piece of three-thousand-year-old Black Gold Wood. Vajra Glaze Liquid is a Buddhist body-tempering spiritual fluid, and Black Gold Wood is an excellent material for forging defensive magical treasures. I seek fire-attribute alchemy materials, at least two thousand years old."

"Vajra Glaze Liquid!"

Wang Changsheng stood up and walked towards Blazing Cloud Cultivator.

He took out a red jade casket and handed it to Blazing Cloud Cultivator.

Blazing Cloud Cultivator opened the jade casket, glanced inside, and quickly closed the lid. After examining the items presented by several other Nascent Soul cultivators, he ultimately exchanged with Wang Changsheng.

Inside the jade casket was a Vermillion Bird Fruit over two thousand years old, which Wang Ruyan had obtained from a secret realm.

Blazing Cloud Cultivator returned to his seat, and Yuan Gang stepped forward.

He produced a white porcelain bottle, a green porcelain bottle, and a golden beast hide five zhang in length and width.

"One bottle of essence blood from a fourth-tier demon beast Golden Flood Shark, one spirit, and one fourth-tier beast hide, in exchange for metal-attribute alchemy materials."

"A fourth-tier demon beast's spirit!"

Wang Changsheng was somewhat tempted. After devouring a Nascent Soul-stage ghost, the Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada had fallen into a deep sleep, and Wang Changsheng's divine sense had also grown considerably. Unfortunately, he lacked metal-attribute alchemy materials.

Several Nascent Soul cultivators stepped forward and exchanged private messages with Yuan Gang, but unfortunately, no successful exchange occurred.

Yuan Gang returned to his seat, looking disappointed. Wang Changsheng stepped forward, taking out a white jade bottle, a red crystal, and a five-foot-long piece of snow wood.

"One bottle of Heavenly Moon Divine Water, one piece of Fire Bright Crystal, and one two-thousand-year-old piece of Snow Wood, in exchange for water-attribute materials or materials for refining puppet beasts."

Yuan Gang and Blazing Cloud Cultivator simultaneously stepped forward, each producing a jade casket and handing it to Wang Changsheng.

Yuan Gang presented a five-foot-long piece of thousand-year Jade Oak Wood, in exchange for the Heavenly Moon Divine Water.

Blazing Cloud Cultivator produced a bottle of fourth-tier spirit water, Azure Cold Water, in exchange for the Fire Bright Crystal.

After examining the materials offered by other Nascent Soul cultivators, Wang Changsheng exchanged with Yuan Gang and Blazing Cloud Cultivator.

Fairy Ziyue stepped forward. With a flick of her delicate hand, two rings, one gold and one silver, appeared in her palm, shimmering with spiritual light.

"This pair of Yin-Yang Demon Locking Rings are magical treasures I personally refined, one for offense and one for defense. I seek artifact forging materials of equal value."

Not many Nascent Soul cultivators knew how to refine magical treasures, so Fairy Ziyue's set of treasures piqued the interest of several of them. They stepped forward and exchanged private messages with her.

It was unknown what Li Jiong offered, but Fairy Ziyue ultimately traded with him.

Fairy Ziyue, delighted with her successful exchange, returned to her seat with a smile.

A short, stout old man in a red robe stepped forward, taking out a green jade bottle and a green brocade box.

The red-robed old man pulled open the stopper. A dragon's roar echoed, and a miniature blood-red flood dragon flew out of the green jade bottle. A white radiant glow surged from the bottle, enveloped the miniature flood dragon, and drew it back inside.

He opened the green brocade box. Inside was a blue short blade, shimmering with an unstable spiritual light. Its blade had two broad bean-sized chips, and the hilt was engraved with the character "Treasure." The blue short blade emanated faint chills.

"One bottle of fourth-tier flood dragon essence blood, and the Cold Moon Blade, a spiritual treasure refined by True Monarch Baibao. I seek a complete set of fire-attribute magical treasures or items of equivalent value."

"A spiritual treasure! A damaged spiritual treasure?"

The cultivators present stirred, all gazing at the blue short blade with fervent eyes.

A spiritual treasure refined by True Monarch Baibao, even if it was damaged, might be repairable if one's artifact forging skill was high enough.

Wang Changsheng was somewhat tempted, but he did not possess a complete set of fire-attribute magical treasures.

Refining complete sets of magical treasures was difficult and time-consuming. Wang Changsheng rarely refined such sets; only Wang Qingshan received this special treatment.

Fairy Ziyue's beautiful eyes flickered. After pondering for a moment, she rose and stepped forward.

She took out a red brocade box and handed it to the red-robed old man.

After examining the items from over a dozen cultivators, the red-robed old man ultimately exchanged with Yuan Gang. It was unknown what Yuan Gang had offered.

After the red-robed old man returned to his seat, Ye Rou'er stepped forward. She produced a fist-sized piece of Sea Moon Gold, a white beast hide five zhang in length and width, two dark blue fruits, and a piece of Ice Jade Crystal.

"I seek a magical treasure that conceals one's presence. Failing that, talismans would also be acceptable."

Wang Changsheng's gaze fixed on the Sea Moon Gold, his eyes burning with desire.

The cultivators present exchanged glances. Two cultivators stepped forward to exchange private messages with Ye Rou'er, but after inspecting their items, she shook her head.

Magical treasures capable of concealing one's presence were rare. Possessing such a treasure would be a great aid in seeking treasures.

"Brother Wang, do you want that piece of Sea Moon Gold?"

Fairy Ziyue transmitted a message to Wang Changsheng.

"I do, but what she wants is too precious. Never mind."

All the items Ye Rou'er presented were useful to Wang Changsheng: the Sea Moon Gold for artifact forging, the white beast hide for talisman crafting, the fruits for feeding his Kylin Tortoise, and the Ice Jade Crystal also for artifact forging.

Fairy Ziyue smiled sweetly, her red lips moving slightly.

Ye Rou'er glanced at Fairy Ziyue, said nothing further, and put away her items.

After the exchanges concluded, the cultivators discussed their cultivation experiences, covering everything from problems encountered in practice to insights on artifact forging.

Two hours later, the exchange concluded, and the cultivators returned to their respective homes.
