550: Golden elixir trade fair

Zhao Yulin hesitated for a long time, but ultimately accepted the Storage Pouch.

For her, she actually didn't want to.

But her father had already used his life to give her a chance to form a Nascent Soul, so she couldn't give up.

She also couldn't make decisions for Tian Liu True Person.

On this point, Immortal Master Kuangfeng had clearly planned extremely well.

There was no need to worry that Zhao Yulin would stubbornly refuse it.

His perception of True Lord Xueshan had changed a little, but not much.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what are your thoughts on the allocation of Golden Thunder Island and Lanling Island?" True Lord Xueshan asked Lin Shiming, as expected, after dealing with Zhao Yulin's matter.

By asking this, he was doing Lin Shiming a favor.

And even if Lin Shiming's Family wanted Golden Thunder Island, he would agree.

However, Lin Shiming also knew in his heart that True Lord Xueshan didn't want him to occupy Golden Thunder Island.

After all, the Lin Family was more formidable than Golden Core True Person Golden Thunder.

And the future was even more unpredictable.

"Senior Xueshan, I believe that among the twelve inner islands of the Coral Alliance, only Hongye Island and Real Person Hongye are capable of taking on Golden Thunder Island!"

"Real Person Hongye has repeatedly achieved victories recently, and her cultivation is among the best of all the Immortal Masters!"

"Good, Fellow Daoist Lin's idea coincides with mine!" True Lord Xueshan said with a smile.

Then he looked at Lin Shiming again:

"There aren't any good candidates for the Lanling Archipelago, and our Coral Island Cultivators are currently preoccupied with preparing for the Heavenly Illumination Sect matter. Does Fellow Daoist Lin's Family have any Cultivators?"

"To the Alliance Leader, the Lin Family does indeed have one person!" Lin Shiming nodded in response.

Since True Lord Xueshan was willing to give it, there was no reason for Lin Shiming to refuse.

Moreover, accepting it was the way to get on Coral Island.

Otherwise, just like before, True Lord Xueshan would be wary of him.

"Good, then this matter is settled. We'll discuss it after tomorrow's ceremony!" True Lord Xueshan nodded.

There was also a hint of sending guests off in his tone.

"Then many thanks, Senior!" Lin Shiming and Zhao Yulin thanked him together.

The two then exited the palace gate of the Xueshan Palace.

"Thank you for today!" Zhao Yulin said.

"There's no need to thank me for this; it has nothing to do with me!" Lin Shiming shook his head.

He knew what Zhao Yulin meant.

This time, if it weren't for Lin Shiming and his Autumn Blood Sword during the True Lord's exchange of insights,

He and Zhao Yulin definitely wouldn't have been able to participate.

Now Lin Shiming had gained four parts of the insights.

Zhao Yulin was different; she had gained five parts.

If Tian Liu True Person could overcome her emotional obstacles, she would definitely be preparing for a Nascent Soul Breakthrough now.

Coupled with the fact that both ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine this time were extremely compatible with their respective attributes!

"Still, thank you. But regarding Fuling's matter, I will get my revenge sooner or later. I hope you don't slack off!" Zhao Yulin continued, then transformed into a streak of light and flew away.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but shake his head; he had no way to deal with Zhao Yulin's thoughts.

He then returned to Welcoming Lin Palace.

It must be said that his gains this time were quite good.

Magic Treasure, Jiaolong corpse, sky soul fruit, and immortal wood grass.

All of these were extremely valuable treasures!

Now, he was only missing one main ingredient for the nascent soul pill.

As for the insufficient age, for him, it wasn't a big deal.

Next, Lin Shiming also checked the Storage Pouch of Immortal Master You Yun.

Lin Shiming found two fifth-grade Spirit Talismans inside.

Besides that, there was the set of Five Dragon Rings and Twin Dragon Seals.

He didn't even think twice about refining these two Magic Treasures. Although he now had many High Grade Magic Treasures, not many were truly useful.

As for the remaining Spirit Stones and treasures, although there were many in the Storage Pouch, nothing else made Lin Shiming look at them with new eyes.

The Spirit Talisman that destroyed the Divine Soul was clearly prepared by Nine Dragon Island.

There wasn't a second one inside.

However, Lin Shiming wasn't too disappointed about this Spirit Talisman.

After all, such a Spirit Talisman was extremely powerful. If there were really so many, he would have to think about the problems within it.

He would even worry about the true strength of Nine Dragon Island.

Now it seemed that although the Autumn Blood Sword was exposed, the Lin Family had also gained many unexpected benefits.

For example, Golden Thunder Island, as mentioned by the Earth Gate Master, would belong to Real Person Hongye. Naturally, the Hongye Islands would later be renamed Shuangmu Archipelago.

Or renamed Fangmu Archipelago.

Lin Shiming put away his gains and continued to take out the Jade Slip.

This Jade Slip was recorded by Wood Demon, and Lin Shiming immediately took it out to compare.

After all, it was passed down through telepathy.

However, after looking at two of them, Lin Shiming nodded with great satisfaction, finding no problems.

After all five Jade Slips were checked, Lin Shiming took out a new Jade Slip.

This Jade Slip recorded the Autumn Blood Sword's strike from earlier in the day.

That strike was too stunning, so much so that Lord Nine Dragons barely managed to block it.

For Lin Shiming, that strike had many things worth learning.

After summarizing, the second day had quietly arrived.

The banquet square on Coral Mountain had been cleared out.

In front of the square was a high platform.

In front of the high platform, several compartments had already been set up, and behind the compartments were seats and standing areas!

This lecture, for the various Golden Core Family forces and Cultivators from the other five major forces, was held in the front compartments!

And Purple Mansion Cultivators and Purple Mansion Family members sat in the seats, while Foundation Establishment Cultivators, quite obviously, could only stand at the very back.

Moreover, they also needed to demonstrate some strength and background, otherwise, their position would be even further back.

"So many people!" Lin Zehong couldn't help but stick out her tongue, speaking to Lin Changxing next to her.

Lin Zehong was very fond of this grand-nephew.

And Lin Changxing wasn't annoyed, maintaining sufficient respect for Lin Zehong. This was the first lesson of the Lin Family's Hall of Teachings.

Lin Changxing, as the first person of the Chang generation, did extremely well in all aspects.

"When can the Lin Family host something this grand!" Lin Zeli said with some regret.

Her eyes also recalled the effect of Lin Shiming's lecture, and she felt even more regretful for a moment.

In her opinion, True Lord Xueshan's lecture would definitely not be as good as Lin Shiming's.

"Many thanks to all of you for gracing us with your presence at my True Lord Ceremony. Next, I will share some of my insights and experiences!"

...True Lord Xueshan walked onto the high platform and began to share.

However, unlike other ceremonies that started from Innate Qi Refining, True Lord Xueshan started directly from Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

And this also fit the theme of this time.

The Qi Refining Cultivators here did not exceed the number of ten.

Lecturing on Qi Refining would indeed be somewhat redundant.

True Lord Xueshan truly deserved to be the Alliance Leader of the Coral Alliance.

Lin Shiming couldn't find any fault with many of her insights.

However, it was extremely difficult for Lin Shiming to gain anything.

The True Lord Ceremony only lectured up to the Late Golden Core Stage.

And for Lin Shiming, the Late Golden Core Stage didn't pose too much difficulty.

Of course, this time the System prompt also pointed out a content explained by True Lord Xueshan.

However, Lin Shiming did not refute it.

For him, there was no benefit in refuting it.

The ceremony lasted for two days and two nights!

For other Cultivators, the gains were immense.

But for Lin Zehong, Lin Yanxing, and the others, they were rather unenthusiastic.

Even Real Person Hongye's Disciples showed some disappointment.

They had participated in Lin Shiming's Golden Core Ceremony, and that time the gains were significant.

Of course, what they didn't know was that Lin Shiming had still held back during his Golden Core Ceremony.

"Everyone, next, Coral Island will host the biggest Auction. At that time, the ningjin fruit will be the grand finale item, and at the same time, there will be a fifth-grade Spirit Puppet and a fifth-grade five-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo!"

"Of course, we also welcome all Fellow Daoists to submit treasures to enhance the Auction!"

Immortal Master Chishan also added from the side.

At this moment, the sky had already reached dusk, and Coral Island was bathed in a crimson glow.

And upon hearing that the ningjin fruit was the grand finale item, even Lin Shiming was extremely eager!

Currently, the Family only had one ningjin fruit that hadn't been refined into a Core Formation Pill, which was naturally insufficient for the current Lin Family.

However, he also knew that it would definitely be a fierce competition then.

He didn't think he would necessarily be able to bid for the fifth-grade ningjin fruit; on the contrary, he was somewhat unenthusiastic about this Auction.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, at that time, we will also host the largest Golden Core trade gathering. It will be an anonymous Golden Core trade fair, and I hope Fellow Daoist Lin can participate!" Immortal Master Chishan also extended an invitation to Lin Shiming at this moment.

Lin Shiming was extremely interested in this.

Especially an anonymous trade fair, which also meant that stolen goods could appear here.

He could also sell many of his treasures.

Moreover, at that time, more treasures would inevitably appear.

At this moment, Lin Shiming was somewhat worried that the System prompt would be used up before the trade fair was held.

Immortal Master Chishan gave Lin Shiming a token.

The entire lecture meeting also concluded successfully.

At this point, the True Lord Ceremony was considered over!

Next was the grand event of the Coral Alliance, or rather, the grand event of Coral Island.

Some of these Cultivators were still hesitant, but now very few Cultivators hesitated!

Even if they couldn't buy the ningjin fruit, many Loose Cultivators felt it was a great honor just to catch a glimpse of it.

And many Loose Cultivators secretly thought about when they could get incredibly lucky and encounter a ningjin fruit in the wild.

Therefore, at this time, it was extremely necessary to see what the ningjin fruit looked like and understand its aura.

"Auction, Zeli, you and the others participate then!"

For the Auction, Lin Shiming decided not to go after looking at the Auction list.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if the System prompt was used up without encountering any treasures.

"Seventh Uncle, this..." Lin Zeli hesitated slightly.

"Don't worry, although the Lin Family isn't rich now, it's not without this much courage!"

"Buy anything that benefits the Family!"

"At this time, don't worry about Spirit Stones!"

Lin Shiming spoke with a hint of confidence.

As long as the war hadn't ended, the victors would always have Spirit Stones and Spirit Mines.

"I will not disappoint Seventh Uncle!" Lin Zeli replied with a cupped-hand salute.

At this moment, there were still two elders from the Commerce Hall present, and Lin Zeli naturally felt greatly valued!

And Lin Shiming was already looking forward to the Golden Core trade fair... Time passed quickly, and two days had arrived.

The Auction also began. This time, the Auction venue was an open-air Auction.

Because there were simply too many Cultivators.

For those who came to attend the banquet, those few days were naturally not an issue.

Plus, the treasures offered by Coral Island this time were simply too numerous.

Even the Lin Family was extremely tempted.

Soon, it became a hubbub of activity.

And while the Auction was in full swing.

Lin Shiming also took his token and headed towards another location.

At the Auction, with fewer Golden Core Cultivators, the enthusiasm for the bidding not only didn't drop but actually increased.

After all, they had previously worried that Golden Core True Persons, using their influence, would cause prices to be extremely high!

Now, there was no need to worry!

And for those Golden Core forces, they still bid as they would have, and even relaxed a lot.

After all, there was no Immortal Master supervising them.

Lin Zeli's eyes were very nervous at this moment!

Lin Shiming had given her many Spirit Stones, and this time, she naturally had her eyes on the three grand finale treasures!

Besides that, there were also items needed by the various Immortal Masters and Purple Mansion of the Lin Family.

In her heart, she had already made a list.

The first sequence of treasures was for Lin Shiming's needs, the second sequence was for the Family's needs, and only the third was for the Lin Family's Purple Mansion and Immortal Masters...

What Lin Shiming didn't expect was that this Golden Core trade fair was still held on the lake.

This was somewhat similar to the one Lin Shiming had attended in the Hongye Islands!

There would be many pavilions on the lake.

Each pavilion had a Formation.

These treasures would then be transmitted to each other through the teleportation Formation on the pavilions!

You just needed to take out whatever treasures you had and display them on the pavilion!

This point satisfied Lin Shiming, as this way, even if he traded the treasures of Immortal Master Tianmo and True Person Liuhe, no one could say anything.

Moreover, his main goal was to find the last main ingredient and a few minor auxiliary ingredients.

He was currently in the Middle Stage of Golden Core, but he was confident that he wouldn't need fifty or sixty years to Breakthrough to the Late Golden Core Stage!

In addition, various Spirit Medicine might need their age increased, requiring the Wind of Rejuvenation Minor Divine Ability.

He also needed to prepare in advance!

"Everyone, please enter the pavilions according to your tokens. Each token can only open one pavilion!"

By the Spirit Lake, most people were wearing Spirit-concealing robes!

Even Lin Shiming was like this, so there was no need to worry about identity leakage!

Holding their tokens, they each entered a pavilion!

The pavilions quickly lit up, seemingly moving on the lake surface, disrupting the order!

When more than seventy pavilions appeared on the lake surface.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but marvel at the scale of this Golden Core trade fair!

After everyone had entered their pavilions, spiritual mist began to appear on the lake surface.

These spiritual mists slowly spread, and each pavilion began to glow, followed by the appearance of a spiritual shield.

Within the spiritual shield, there was also a spiritual screen.

At this moment, the figure of Immortal Master Chishan was displayed on the spiritual screen!

"Everyone, in the upcoming trade fair, treasures will be displayed pavilion by pavilion. Each pavilion will have a corresponding teleportation platform."

"Once the treasure exchange is agreed upon, you can exchange them through the teleportation platform!"

"Furthermore, when the trade fair ends, this pavilion will also teleport everyone out, so there's no need to worry about treasures being leaked!" Immortal Master Chishan explained continuously.

After explaining, she also took out four Jade Boxes!

"Next, I shall offer a humble opinion to invite more valuable ones!"

After speaking, she began to open the Jade Boxes one by one.

Inside the four Jade Boxes were a bead, a long wooden stem, a Spirit Talisman, and a shimmering spiritual egg, respectively.

"This bead is a fifth-grade grotto-heaven pearl, containing a small grotto-heaven equivalent to about a hundred square feet!"

"This wooden stem is from a fifth-grade Heaven Longevity Tree. Although it lacks Spiritual Qi, it is definitely a secret treasure, especially for wood-attribute Cultivators!"

"This Spirit Talisman is a fifth-grade Heaven-Confining Formation Spirit Talisman, capable of trapping a Golden Core Cultivator for one hour!"

"This spiritual egg is from the Blood Jade Spider, which is on the Heaven and Earth Spirit Insect List..."
