Chapter 111 Lin Yue: Wan'er, you don't want your master to...
After some haggling, Lin Yue exchanged the Cloud Bamboo Wood for three mid-to-high-level Five Thunderbolts Talismans and ten mid-level talismans.
At the same time, Madam Qingya also had little goodwill towards Lin Yue, the cultivator who questioned her talisman-making skills.
What she didn't know was that Lin Yue said that mainly because the other party had made Zhang Tie famous.
The three brothers are all low-key people who do not like to be famous. This action completely crossed their bottom line.
Zhang Tie's actions were out of necessity; he needed to make talismans to earn spirit stones and resources.
"Fellow Daoist, you have surely offended Madam Qingya to death. Could it be that you are truly a master of talisman making?"
The Fairy of Rainbow Clothes covered her mouth and chuckled, her bright eyes sparkling as she stared at Lin Yue, asking him a question via telepathy.
"What, is the fairy also interested in the thousand-year-old spirit wood on my body?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue chuckled lightly.
"I am somewhat interested. I suppose you have some left? I can exchange some materials or spirit stones for a few. To be honest, I am also one of the talisman makers in my sect, but my skills are not very good. At most, I can only draw mid-to-low-level talismans."
The fairy in the rainbow dress looked a little embarrassed.
"If the fairy wishes, I do have a small amount of cloud bamboo wood on me, which I will give to the fairy as a gift."
Lin Yue patted his storage bag and took out another jade box, about a foot long and with talismans attached, and handed it to Fairy Ni Chang.
This kind of thousand-year-old spiritual wood must be sealed with a jade box and talismans to ensure that its spiritual energy is not lost as much as possible.
Once the spiritual energy is completely lost, apart from the hardness of the wood, it is no different from ordinary trees.
"No, such a generous gift is not appropriate. I would prefer to exchange it for spirit stones or materials."
Seeing this, Fairy Ni Chang was overjoyed, but she still didn't want to owe anyone a favor, especially Lin Yue, who had a significant relationship with Nangong Wan and whose identity was extremely mysterious.
"Alright, if that's the case, do you have any of these materials on you, Fairy? Not many, just one will do."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue no longer stood on ceremony and directly took out a light blue jade slip and handed it to Fairy Ni Chang.
The Fairy of Rainbow Robes breathed a sigh of relief and then used her divine sense to investigate.
"Oh, these materials are exactly the same as the ones Senior Sister Nangong gave me before. I've already given all the materials I have to Senior Sister Nangong. You can just ask her for them. How about this: if you need any materials during this trade fair, I'll help you exchange them for the same item, how about that?"
The Fairy of Rainbow Robes withdrew her divine sense, glanced at Lin Yue and Nangong Wan, and said meaningfully.
Upon hearing her words, Lin Yue glanced at Nangong Wan with gratitude.
Nangong Wan's jade-like face behind the veil flushed slightly. She glared at Fairy Ni Chang without leaving a trace before her almond lips moved slightly.
"I will hand over the materials I have after the trade fair ends. In return, you will need to do me a favor. I'm not collecting these materials for you for nothing."
"Of course, Wan'er, don't worry. How could I possibly let you suffer a loss?"
Lin Yue's smile deepened, and he spoke with a deeper meaning.
"Wan'er! When will you two invite me to your wedding banquet?"
Upon hearing the name "Wan'er," Fairy Ni Chang's bright eyes lit up, her "gossip fire" burning fiercely as she smiled and pressed the two of them for answers.
"Junior sister, don't talk nonsense."
Nangong Wan, her cheeks slightly flushed, glared fiercely at Lin Yue and said coquettishly.
She knew very well that Lin Yue was not a good match!
Therefore, the "wedding banquet" mentioned by the Fairy of Rainbow Robes is pure nonsense and impossible.
Lin Yue didn't interfere with the two sisters' bickering, but continued to focus on the trade conference.
After receiving the three-thousand-year-old cloud bamboo wood from Lin Yue, Lady Qingya withdrew.
Following closely behind was a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation, who took out a piece of iron essence of quite good quality, wanting a pill to improve his Core Formation cultivation.
Unfortunately, iron essence is a rare material for refining artifacts for Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages, but for Core Formation stage cultivators, they can refine some at any time and use it to refine magical artifacts.
It's not that rare.
Therefore, in the end, it can only be said that he returned empty-handed. Although Lin Yue had many elixirs and medicines that could improve the cultivation of Core Formation stage cultivators, he did not need the iron essence, so naturally he could not be so kind as to exchange it with it.
After the transaction failed, the early-stage Core Formation cultivator left the hall, seemingly because his only offering was Iron Essence.
As he watched the departing figure and heard the voice that had just been feigned, Lin Yue thought of someone: Li Huayuan.
However, he couldn't be sure!
After "Li Huayuan", the next person was an old man in the middle stage of Core Formation, and he did not try to hide or disguise himself.
"So it's Brother Lan from the Heavenly Star Sect. May I ask what kind of formation Brother Lan plans to use for this exchange?"
The Heavenly Star Sect is famous for its array formations, and this Brother Lan is even more renowned, basically equivalent to the status that Madam Qingya held at the Myriad Wonders Temple.
"Hehe, I've been too busy lately and haven't been able to refine any particularly good formations. However, this formation is quite good. I'm sure you fellow cultivators have heard of the Taiyi Demon-Slaying Formation! Although this is just a replica by me, it still possesses one-tenth or one-twentieth of its power. Whether for protecting your cave dwelling or setting up an array to eliminate powerful enemies, it's a good choice. As for the exchange items, spirit stones, materials, or pills are all acceptable; the highest bidder wins."
After speaking, the old man surnamed Lan from the Tianxing Sect patted his storage bag and took out a stack of array flags and array plates. He didn't try to hide anything, but just smiled and watched the crowd discuss and bid.
"The Taiyi Demon-Slaying Formation, one of the ten most wondrous ancient demon-slaying formations. I never imagined Brother Lan's mastery of formations had advanced so far; it's truly enviable."
Lady Qingya of Wanmiao Temple exclaimed in surprise and admiration.
"This is all the skill I have; I cannot compare to you, madam."
The old man surnamed Lan shook his head and chuckled softly.
Then, he began to communicate with others telepathically.
Lin Yue recalled the origin and power of the Taiyi Demon-Slaying Formation and felt that it should be of great help to his wife, Xin Ruyin, so he spoke up.
"How many pills are in one bottle of Luo Sheng Dan?"
The Luo Sheng Dan is a rare and precious elixir that most Core Formation stage cultivators dream of. One pill is enough to save a year or two of arduous cultivation, so its value is self-evident.
"make a deal!"
Upon hearing the name Luo Shengdan, the elderly man surnamed Lan agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Don't underestimate the power of just ten pills; they're enough to save him eight to ten years of arduous cultivation. For him, this is enough to allow him to advance further, and he might even be able to break through to the late stage of Core Formation in his lifetime.
He was also the highest bidder among all the cultivators.
The two then reached a deal.
This also made the other cultivators in the hall curious about Lin Yue's identity; he was truly remarkable.
Lin Yue ignored this and took the opportunity to go on stage and speak.
"I need a few materials. If any of you fellow cultivators have them, please feel free to ask. Spirit stones, pills, or anything else are all acceptable."
After speaking, Lin Yue listed the materials needed, each of which was considered rare even for a Core Formation stage cultivator.
However, it was merely a "container" for refining and storing the energy of war and slaughter. The difference between the two worlds is astounding.
"Fellow Daoist, I have a piece of Refining Demonic Jade here. I wonder what you would offer in exchange?"
"How about two 500-year-old Green Frost Flower plants?"
"Okay, deal!"
First deal done!
Then, the second stroke, the third stroke—all were completed.
Finally, after sacrificing two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, more than ten hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, a total of more than ten thousand spirit stones, and three bottles of pills that could improve the cultivation level of a Core Formation cultivator, they obtained nearly one-third of the materials. Adding the materials obtained from Hong Fu, Hong Fen, and Linghu Laoguai, they had almost collected seventy or eighty percent of the materials.
This became the largest transaction of the entire trade fair, leaving all the cultivators present astonished, curious, and, in some cases, harboring ill intentions.
But Lin Yue didn't care at all.
After all, who would dislike a "money-giving boy," such a philanthropist?
After the trade fair ended, Lin Yue, Nangong Wan, and Fairy Ni Chang found a teahouse nearby, got a private room, and sat down to discuss their business.
"Wan'er, how many materials do you have? What do you want? Pills, spirit stones, or something else?"
Lin Yue took a sip of tea, stared at the stunningly beautiful Nangong Wan's face, and got straight to the point.
"Some of the materials I have were obtained through exchanges with my fellow disciples, and some came from my master. So there are quite a few. Here's a list for you to see! Does it meet your requirements?"
Nangong Wan took out a red jade slip and handed it to Lin Yue, saying softly.
"Thank you, Wan'er. You've worked hard."
Seeing this, Lin Yue smiled gently, his face full of gratitude.
"No need. Getting the materials I have won't be easy."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Wanyu shook her head slightly and said indifferently, completely ignoring the gratitude in Lin Yue's eyes and face.
"Then, Wan'er, what do you want?"
Seeing this, Lin Yue raised an eyebrow and, without even looking at the list of materials in the jade slip, asked directly.
"If the pills that can extend the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator are only for ten or twenty years, you don't need to bring them out. You need at least fifty or sixty years, or even a hundred years or more, of these miraculous pills."
"Others may not have it, but I believe you definitely do."
Nangong Wan's beautiful eyes held a hint of anticipation as she stared intently at Lin Yue, as if afraid he might say no.
"So, Wan'er, you also didn't want your master to run out of lifespan and pass away so soon."
After hearing Nangong Wan's conditions, Lin Yue chuckled.
"That's natural. Do you have any?"
Nangong Wan's tone grew increasingly tense, and even Fairy Ni Chang stared intently at Lin Yue, this exceptionally mysterious cultivator.
She also didn't want the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect to perish so soon, as this would definitely not be a good thing for the entire Hidden Moon Sect and would greatly affect the sect's status in the Yue Kingdom and the entire Tiannan cultivation world.
Especially now that the six demonic sects are about to invade, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect absolutely cannot be allowed to die.
This is the strongest person among the seven sects, a pillar of strength that can stabilize the world.
He is also the only person who can make the six sects of the Tianluo Kingdom feel wary.
After all, he was a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm or above, far inferior to the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of other sects.
