62: Exchange Meeting

Naturally, Su Yu did not refuse the goodwill shown by the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Soon, everyone gathered in the main assembly hall to begin the barter exchange meeting.

The main assembly hall was very large. After removing the long table, those who had needs could take out their own treasures to seek the treasures they desired.

The first person was an Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

This somewhat thin Nascent Soul Cultivator took out three treasures: a Spiritual Plant, a piece of iron essence, and a demon core.

"These three items are respectively: Seven-Star Dragon Saliva Grass, a thousand-year-old specimen, the main ingredient for refining the Seven-Star Dragon Blood Pill.

And one jin of Gengjin Essence. This essence is refined from Gengjin metal. Even a small amount mixed into an ordinary Magic Treasure can double its hardness!"

The last item is the demon core of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit turtle. This demon has an extremely long lifespan; using its core, one can refine a Longevity-Boosting Pill to increase lifespan by a hundred years!"

"I offer these three items in exchange for Nascent Soul-level Medicinal Pills that can increase cultivation, a powerful Magic Treasure, and a great teleportation talisman!"

All three items were extraordinary, and even Su Yu coveted them.

Especially the Gengjin Essence. If mixed into his Lifebound Treasure, it might prevent his sword-pellet-form treasure from being so fragile.

Before it fully matures from a sword pellet into a true Spirit Treasure Flying Sword, he wouldn't have to worry about the pellet shattering easily during battles with others.

Su Yu sent a voice transmission to Han Weier: "Fellow Daoist Han, could you help me acquire this Gengjin Essence?"

Since the Heavenly Dao Alliance had promised to cover all his expenses, Su Yu naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony.

Upon hearing this, Han Weier was naturally pleased that Su Yu had come to them with a request.

The more he took, the greater the favor he owed, and the deeper the bond would naturally be.

"Fellow Daoist Wuzhu, I offer three bottles of Reverse Origin Pills in exchange for your Gengjin Essence. What do you think?"

Reverse Origin Pills are Medicinal Pills that can increase Nascent Soul cultivation, usable only by Nascent Soul Cultivators.

One bottle can offset twenty years of arduous cultivation for a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Don't underestimate the mere twenty years of cultivation offset. You must know that pills capable of increasing a Nascent Soul Cultivator's magic power are exceedingly rare.

Moreover, they are almost never actively sold.

Usually, Nascent Soul Old Monsters gather the Spiritual Plants needed to refine pills that boost magic power and seek out a fourth-rank Alchemy Grandmaster to have them refined.

If the cauldron explodes, the Alchemy Grandmaster won't offer compensation.

Once successfully refined, these Nascent Soul Old Monsters consume them directly; why would they keep them?

This leads to an extremely low circulation rate of Nascent Soul-level pills in the market.

Once any do circulate, they are basically snatched up immediately.

And the price is extremely expensive, over a million Spirit Stones per bottle.

Compared to Gengjin Essence, they are much more precious.

"I am willing to exchange!"

Seeing Han Weier offer Nascent Soul-level pills for exchange, Old Ancestor Wuzhu was more than happy.

Compared to other things, improving cultivation was the most important.

After Han Weier took out the pills to exchange with Old Ancestor Wuzhu, the other two items were also exchanged by others who offered their treasures.

With the first person offering such precious treasures for exchange, those who followed naturally couldn't afford to be outdone.

The treasures brought out were truly enough to make Su Yu's mouth water.

However, he was very measured and did not trouble Han Weier too much.

Being overly greedy for some things was not necessarily a good thing.

He only had Han Weier intervene when encountering Materials for refining an external incarnation.

He also exchanged for some items using treasures he himself could offer.

After a day and a night passed, most of the Nascent Soul Cultivators had finished their exchanges.

Only a few Great Cultivators remained.

The first to go up was Old Monster Yun Ya. This Great Cultivator, dressed like a scholar, coughed once, stood at the front, and took out five treasures from his Storage Ring.

"This is... Heavenly Thunder Bamboo!"

Among the treasures Old Monster Yun Ya took out was a section of bamboo emitting a faint aura of thunder power.

Those with discerning eyes immediately recognized the most precious treasure among Old Monster Yun Ya's offerings.

At this moment, everyone's gazes converged on it.

Especially Nascent Soul Cultivators who practiced thunder-based Spells desired the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo even more than others.

"A pity, it's only a two-thousand-year-old white thunder bamboo."

Han Mo shook his head. As a member of the Han Family, they understood Heavenly Thunder Bamboo better than anyone.

Even his Lifebound Spirit Treasure was an artifact refined from Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.

Heavenly Thunder Bamboo is categorized into white thunder bamboo, Blue Thunder Bamboo, and Golden Thunder Bamboo. A two-thousand-year-old white thunder bamboo isn't considered a particularly expensive item.

However, its ability to suppress Devilish Qi is especially profound.

Looking at this white thunder bamboo, its roots are intact, suggesting it could probably be planted and kept alive if taken back.

"Fellow Daoist, perhaps you could tell us what you wish to exchange for."

Someone asked. To Han Mo, this section of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo might not be much, but others found such items very scarce.

Apart from the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, there were four other top-tier treasures. Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator wanting to acquire one would have to pay a hefty price.

"I only want Yin and Yang items. Grade No limit, the more the better."

Old Monster Yun Ya looked at the crowd and spoke calmly.

"Yin and Yang items? Could it be you are about to take that step?!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

You must know, the Cultivation Technique Old Monster Yun Ya practices is called the Profound Origin of Yin and Yang Art. It relies on absorbing Yin and Yang Qi to enhance cultivation.

Although he hasn't raised his cultivation to the Nascent Soul Peak stage, this technique has a Heaven-Defying Spell: after cultivating a Yin Yang Spirit Body, one can use this spirit body to force a breakthrough into the Soul Transformation stage.

Even though the probability is only ten percent, for a Great Cultivator who hasn't reached the Nascent Soul Peak, that is quite high.

Coupled with the Heavenly Dao Alliance's Five Lights Revolving Mirror and a Soul Transformation Stage Pill, perhaps Old Monster Yun Ya also has a chance at Soul Transformation!

Although his foundation is insufficient, adding it all up, he could have at least a thirty percent probability of achieving Soul Transformation.

However, the Yin Yang Spirit Body is not easy to Cultivate, and Yin and Yang items are even more rare and hard to come by. Even though Old Monster Yun Ya has been collecting Yin and Yang items all these years, his Yin Yang Spirit Body is still some distance from Major Achievement.

"I have a Thousand-Year-Old Yin Wood. Although its grade is a bit low, it makes up for it in quantity—a full thousand jin. Can I exchange it for one of your treasures?"

A mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator named Su Tong asked.

"Agreed."

Thousand-Year-Old Yin Wood is a second-rank, Low Grade Yin and Yang item, but a thousand jin of it is a different matter.

"Then I'll exchange it for that half-step Spirit Treasure Flying Sword."

Of the five treasures, apart from the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, the other four were all half-step Spirit Treasures, immensely powerful.

This half-step Spirit Treasure Flying Sword was the most lethal among them. Su Tong was also a Sword Cultivator and naturally couldn't let it pass.

"I have a Yin Yang Jade Pendant. Although it's not a Yin and Yang item per se, it is a Yin Yang Magic Treasure. I wonder if I can exchange it for a treasure?"

Another person asked.

Old Monster Yun Ya had no objections. That person took out the pendant, which was a High Grade Magic Treasure containing a large amount of Yin and Yang Qi. He exchanged it for an inner armor.

A half-step Spirit Treasure level inner armor probably wouldn't even need protective spiritual light; relying purely on the armor's defense, one could likely withstand a single strike from a Great Cultivator without dying.

A very practical life-saving item.

Next, a few more people made exchanges, and then no one else wanted to trade.

Although the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo was precious, it was only two thousand years old, so everyone hesitated for a moment.

"I am willing to exchange a water-attribute Top-Grade Spirit Stone for this Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"

Su Yu spoke up.

Although a water-attribute Spirit Stone isn't a Yin and Yang item, if used properly, it might be more useful than ordinary Yin and Yang items.

After all, Yin and Yang give rise to the Five Elements, so why can't the Five Elements converge to form Yin and Yang?

"Truly, a Top-Grade Spirit Stone?! I am willing to exchange a piece of Sun Gold Crystal for your Top-Grade Spirit Stone. You can then use this Yin and Yang item to exchange with Fellow Daoist Yun Ya for the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. How about it?"

Old Monster Tianmu, who originally had his eyes closed and was meditating, serene and composed, suddenly heard that Su Yu could produce a water-attribute Top-Grade Spirit Stone and immediately spoke up to inquire.

"Well, what does Fellow Daoist Yun Ya think?"

As the one offering the exchange, it was naturally up to Old Monster Yun Ya to decide.

"Agreed. The Sun Gold Crystal is more useful to me."

Old Monster Yun Ya nodded and said.
