Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 117 - 111: Good Guy Song Tingfeng (Part 2)
After the two exchanged a few words, Su Miaoyin let out a soft laugh, indicating that the trade fair was about to begin.
As everyone gradually took their seats, Song Tingfeng, the third disciple of Master Lu from Celestial Profound City, with an air of complacent joy, cupped his hands towards everyone.
"Everyone, this trade fair serves two purposes. One is for everyone to exchange the items they need, and the other is the intention of my master.
Get to know each other, as in the future, when you establish roots and develop in Celestial Profound City, you will inevitably need connections..."
As the trade fair began, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Dongyu Kingdom stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"I am Xia Tianhou, and I will presumptuously take the lead to set an example."
The exotic-looking middle-aged cultivator Xia Tianhou took out a fiery spirit fruit, which immediately caused a stir among the crowd.
"The Fiery Flame Fruit is greatly beneficial to the cultivation of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, especially those practicing Fire Attribute Techniques. Or it can be refined into a Spirit Pill by a High Tier Pill Master for even better effect.
This time, my Xia Family only seeks to make friends with fellow cultivators and exchange some resources."
As someone initiated the trade, everyone nodded and began to take out treasures for exchange.
This experience was truly eye-opening for Lin Chang’an, making him more aware that the Immortal Cultivation Realm isn’t just about fighting but also involves social interactions.
There’s no auction atmosphere of intense rivalry, only peaceful exchanges valuing harmony.
Everyone took out their treasures to exchange for items they currently needed.
Elixirs, Spirit Grass, Spirit Fruit, Magical Artifacts, Spirit Pets, Exotic Stones—everything was available in a dazzling variety, providing quite the spectacle for Lin Chang’an.
"Although in all the transactions, Spirit Artifacts used by Foundation Establishment Cultivators are rare."
In the crowd, Lin Chang’an suddenly shook his head thinking not that others aren’t wealthy, but he underestimated his own ability to accumulate wealth.
A typical Foundation Establishment cultivator with Tier Two skills earns only sixty or seventy middle grade Spirit Stones a year.
While the price of a Spirit Artifact starts at five hundred middle grade Spirit Stones.
For a Foundation Establishment cultivator with Tier Two skills, it’s necessary to plan for ten years to acquire one, and that’s assuming no major expenses during those ten years.
"Indeed, cultivators like Chen Qing simply can’t consider Spirit Artifacts for now."
Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an chuckled to himself, realizing he somewhat underestimated himself, but it’s just that his cultivation requires a lot of resources.
As a result, he really hasn’t accumulated much wealth.
"I have two Tier Two Demon Core of excellent Wood Attribute quality here. I wonder how much Mr. Lin is willing to offer?"
When it was Su Miaoyin’s turn, with a casual expression, she directly took out two Demon Cores from her Storage Bag.
At this moment, many Foundation Establishment Cultivators felt tempted, as Demon Cores are materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, and no family would ever feel they have too few Foundation Establishment cultivators.
However, the gazes of the crowd mostly turned subtly towards Lin Chang’an, filled with surprise.
"Mr. Su, for this quality one, I am willing to offer 80 middle grade Spirit Stones."
Facing the curious glances from the crowd, Lin Chang’an spoke with a gentle smile, feeling inwardly grateful, as this Mr. Su was helping him expand his network.
Whether it’s to win hearts or perform theatrics, it’s indeed quite satisfactory for Lin Chang’an.
As for trouble? In Celestial Profound City, Master Lu is the biggest trouble.
Demon Beast Crystal Cores have grades, and those in Su Miaoyin’s hand were of noteworthy quality among Tier Two early stage Demon Beasts.
Similarly, the value of Demon Beasts isn’t necessarily the same within the same tier.
For instance, some Tier Two late stage Demon Beasts might be powerful, but their most valuable parts are the Demon Core and claws or fur.
While some Demon Beasts, like the Demon Centipede Spirit Insect he hunted, though only Tier Two early stage, have immense value, especially its pair of forelimbs, which can compare to a normal Spirit Artifact’s value.
"Great, since this Mr. Lin is willing to trade one, my Han Family is also willing to trade the other one with Mr. Su."
The Foundation Establishment Cultivators didn’t engage in bidding wars, instead, they traded amicably.
However, after the trade, the crowd’s attitude towards Lin Chang’an became warmer.
After all, seemingly, his relationship with Master Lu’s disciple was quite favorable.
"Senior Sister, who is this person?"
In private, Song Tingfeng noticed his admired senior sister was quite friendly with a Foundation Establishment early stage Loose Cultivator, and couldn’t help but feel perplexed.
As for jealousy, it wasn’t possible, as a tiger doesn’t move with a dog nor a dragon stays with a snake.
Su Miaoyin, after all, was a Core Formation Seed, and the disparity in cultivation between them was significant, so Song Tingfeng wouldn’t entertain such thoughts.
"Junior Brother, this Mr. Lin has previously helped us quite a bit..."
Su Miaoyin secretly transmitted a message, leading Song Tingfeng to reveal an understanding look, and subsequently showing a rare friendly smile when looking at Lin Chang’an again.
"So it’s Mr. Lin."
Facing the enthusiastic Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator Song Tingfeng, Lin Chang’an was cautious not to be disrespectful, smiling and returning the greeting:
"Good to see Mr. Song."
Lin Chang’an, with a slight sigh within, indeed realized that the Immortal Cultivation Realm doesn’t consist of countless confrontations.
Most people still prefer amicable interactions.
"If Mr. Lin needs a Wood Attribute Spiritual Object, I will keep an eye out for you in the future."
Song Tingfeng’s smile gave off a feeling akin to being bathed in spring wind, elevating his likability.
Lin Chang’an humbly cupped his hands, smiling: "Thank Mr. Song, but I fear I am limited in resources for the next two years and might not have enough Spirit Stones."
This humble demeanor led to a harmonious exchange between them with mutual laughter.
Or should we say, who amongst the cultivators here wasn’t smiling brightly?
Each was full of cheer, and after the trade ended, many began discussing family business.
