Eternal Life from Talisman Painting
Chapter 490 - 259: Celestial Spirit Sword Body
Among them, the two fellow cultivators who obtained the demon core and leather armor happened to be cultivating on the island, and the one with the demon core hoped to exchange it for some fire attribute materials for refining magical treasures. What are you planning?"
Fatty Lei’s probing was evident that he didn’t want to leave empty-handed,
and upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but frown.
"Fellow Daoist, I don’t have any fire attribute magical treasure materials. I intended to exchange this item."
Lin Chang’an directly took out two demon cores emitting yin energy from his storage bag, making Fatty Lei’s eyes widen instantly.
"Tier Three Lower Grade Yin Spirit Beast King’s demon cores, and there are two of them!"
The Tier Three Lower Grade demon cores with Five Elements attributes are generally valued at fifty to sixty thousand middle grade spirit stones, while the yin attribute ones are around one hundred thousand.
And the Tier Three Middle Grade water attribute demon core is worth about one hundred and fifty thousand middle grade spirit stones.
Thus, these two are valuable enough.
"I wonder if it’s possible to exchange with Mr. Lei?"
With a meaningful smile, Lin Chang’an regarded Fatty Lei as an intermediary in the Immortal Cultivation Realm market.
Though he doesn’t own the trading goods, he acts as a broker between the buyer and seller with his extensive networking.
"Fellow Daoist, I do have some fire attribute materials, but not many. However, let me send a sound transmission. How about waiting for half an incense stick’s time?"
Knowing the cautiousness required with such high-level spiritual objects, Fatty Lei rubbed his hands with a smiling face, and after Lin Chang’an nodded, he directly took out a sound transmission talisman to contact someone else in front of him.
Lin Chang’an nodded secretly upon hearing this. It was clear that Fatty Lei had skills to remain in his position for so many years.
Even though he only had fake pill cultivation, in terms of networking, he was unmatched; such people were naturally suited for this kind of business.
At this thought, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that the Tier Three Green Crocodile Turtle materials sold to Fatty Lei back then also earned him quite a bit.
As for having swindled him before, he didn’t care at all.
The black market operates openly in this kind of business; getting swindled is just bad luck.
"Well, this fellow Daoist will come over soon." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Even though the exchange was happening right before his eyes, Lin Chang’an remained vigilant.
Upon hearing that someone would arrive soon, he nodded secretly. If the other party were to delay, he would turn and leave immediately.
It wasn’t about being overly cautious; in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, carelessness would make one into resources on someone else’s cultivation path.
As for why he didn’t go to Five Dragons Island, sometimes the powers on the surface aren’t necessarily good.
Sometimes, if those above don’t follow the rules, they can be more ruthless than those below.
Moreover, previously on Five Dragons Island, he had already made it known that he sought Tier Three Middle Grade demon cores, and only the Long Family responded; no one else contacted him.
This he could understand; after all, in the Five Dragons Island Sea Region, every core formation cultivator, including fake pill cultivators, was either part of a family or serving under some power.
Pure loose cultivator core formation cultivators are rare, and Tier Three demon cores are extremely valuable resources, rarely used for transactions.
However, the situation is different in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea; there are many loose cultivators there, and even more cultivators who gamble with their lives, living day to day.
Without such burdens, they trade their goods promptly for the resources they need, unlike those large powers and families that accumulate resources for emergencies.
This is one of the main reasons for the black market’s prosperity.
...
After a cup of tea time, someone arrived at the shop; it turned out to be a gorgeously dressed and alluring female cultivator.
"Fatty Lei, is this the fellow Daoist with whom I’ll be trading?"
The alluring female cultivator smiled upon entering and looked at Lin Chang’an.
Her presence made Lin Chang’an cautious, suspecting that she wasn’t far from reaching the Core Formation Middle Stage.
Fatty Lei, seeing the two of them, introduced them to Lin Chang’an with a cheerful grin, patting his belly as he laughed.
"Mr. Lin, this is Red Mushroom, commonly known as Red Third Lady."
"Ah, it’s Fairy Red." Upon hearing her name, Lin Chang’an realized and cupped his hands in greeting.
In the past, he had heard of Red Third Lady in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea; her reputation wasn’t bad, known for keeping her promises, and praised by cultivators who hunted demon beasts with her.
But no one dared underestimate her; being a female cultivator who has made a name for herself, she was definitely formidable.
"My surname is Tian." Lin Chang’an hoarsely reported a name.
"So it’s Mr. Tian."
Fatty Lei then cheerfully brought up the trade in front of the two of them.
"Ah, so you, Fatty Lei, also want a piece of the pie."
Red Third Lady raised her eyebrows, still smiling, but exuding a hint of danger.
Fatty Lei, still grinning, naturally wouldn’t let go of a profitable opportunity.
Red Third Lady needed fire attribute materials for magical treasures, and Fatty Lei had some but not many, while Lin Chang’an had two yin attribute Tier Three Lower Grade demon cores.
The effect of yin attribute demon cores is broader; otherwise, in a place already abundant in yin spirits like the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, its value wouldn’t be higher than that of the Five Elements demon cores.
Expensive for a reason, of course.
Watching the scene, Lin Chang’an didn’t mind how much Fatty Lei wanted to earn; he only wanted to obtain what he needed.
"Alright, let’s see the materials first. If there are too few, it won’t do."
Red Third Lady smiled, but her words maintained her bottom line.
"Three Lady, please have a look."
Fatty Lei patted his storage bag, and three different fire attribute materials appeared. Though not many, they added up to a lot.
Red Third Lady, after a glance, was visibly tempted but hesitated, then finally spoke:
