The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 167 Trading
"The Sect Master's Big Dipper Exorcising Sword Technique is truly remarkable! I've finally witnessed it!"

Pang Zhuoqun's eyes lit up; he had the greatest admiration for powerful sword cultivators.

Among all the sword cultivators in the sect, the one he admired most was undoubtedly the sect leader.

"Senior brother, since you love sword cultivation so much, why don't you specialize in the way of the sword?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling, but that we're simply not meant to be!" Pang Zhuoqun sighed.

"Junior sister, please don't ask. Senior Brother Pang originally wanted to specialize in swordsmanship, but he lacked the talent. If he hadn't been quite gifted in alchemy, he might not have had the chance to become our fellow disciple!"

Dai Yuzhu chuckled and couldn't help but tease her.

"They all said we were not meant to be!"

"The demon has been slain, it's all over. Time to go back and cultivate!" Pang Zhuoqun, who was thick-skinned, blushed slightly after being told this.

"What stage has the sect leader reached in his investigation?" Chen Jinshu asked, puzzled.

"Hmm! I'm not entirely sure either. In short, during the three months our master was in seclusion, the sect was on high alert! The Golden Core elders were frequently coming and going from the sect!" Xie Mofeng shook his head slightly.

During these three months of secluded cultivation under their master, they didn't have much opportunity to access information from the outside world.

Only Pang Zhuoqun couldn't stay still; he would occasionally go out, but he would always come back quickly.

“I do know a little. It’s said that they found two strongholds of demonic cultivators and two dens of demonic cultivators in the market! It’s a huge haul!” Pang Zhuoqun perked up immediately after hearing their conversation.

"Anything else?" The group all looked at him.

"That's all I've heard! The rest of you can go and inquire yourselves; you're bound to hear some rumors!"

"Oh, right! Several of us disciples from different peaks have organized a trade fair. I wonder if you junior brothers and sisters are interested?" Zheng Shaosi suddenly remembered something and said to the group.

"A trade fair? What kind of format is it?"

"The prices in the market are inflated, and many disciples are unable to sell their spiritual items for the equivalent amount of spirit stones. Therefore, I came up with the idea of ​​trading with equivalent goods. This time, it's between Foundation Establishment cultivators. Junior Sister Jinshu is about to establish her foundation and can also participate. I've heard that there are spiritual items that can assist in the foundation establishment process, making it smoother!"

"Please explain in more detail, senior brother!"

Chen Jinshu immediately became interested upon hearing about spiritual objects that aid in Foundation Establishment.

"The date is set for half a month from now. If you want to participate, junior sister, just send me a message and I'll take you. The trade fair can yield many scarce resources and is also a good opportunity for Foundation Establishment cultivators to exchange cultivation methods..."

"Okay! I'll participate! I hope my senior brother will remind me in half a month!"

"I'll join too!" several people around chimed in.

The trade fair is usually spontaneous, but this time the sect has become much more serious because of the fallen disciple incident. Many disciples still have their spiritual items in hand, which is much more cost-effective than going to the market to find them.

……

Half a month later, at noon.

Chen Jinshu raised his hand and slowly extinguished the flames beneath the alchemy furnace, then put the five Demon Cleansing Pills inside the furnace into a pill bottle.

"A first-grade high-quality elixir! It even has a restraining effect on demonic energy. I've finally managed to refine it."

In the past two weeks, she has not rushed to improve her cultivation level, because the body needs a certain amount of time to adapt to the improvement.

Rushing into a higher realm is not a good thing.

Therefore, she took advantage of this time to directly study the Demon-Cleansing Pill.

After all, the matter of a sect disciple falling into demonic possession has caused quite a stir today, so we must have some defensive measures.

Soon, her token received a message from her senior brother.

"Time to go to the trade fair!"

This trade fair is quite large, with nearly five hundred Foundation Establishment disciples reportedly attending. The location is Tianyue Peak, the largest peak in the area, and it's being led by the inner sect's senior disciple, Bu Xuanyin.

It is said that this senior disciple of the inner sect, Bu Xuanyin, has already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and is only one Golden Core away from breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

However, it is rare for a sect to form a Golden Core, and it is unlikely that it will be so easy to break through in the next few years.

Of course, Bu Xuanyin's support also gave Chen Jinshu a strong sense of security about this trade fair.

A moment later, she led the Yinshan Sparrow and several senior brothers and sisters to the main hall of Tianyue Peak, Tianyue Hall.

There are Foundation Establishment cultivators outside the hall to maintain order; cultivators below the ninth level of Qi Refining are not allowed to enter.

Looking at the more than 500 Foundation Establishment cultivators in the hall, Chen Jinshu felt dazzled. It seemed that two-thirds of the sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators had come.

Of course, there are also dozens of other cultivators like Chen Jinshu who are at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"There are so many people!" Chen Jinshu exclaimed.

"This is just the appetizer! There will be even more people later! Let's find seats quickly, or all the good seats will be gone." Zheng Shaosi smiled warmly and led the group to a few empty cushions in the corner.

"I wonder what you wish to trade this time, Senior Brother?"

"I'm stuck at the peak of the mid-stage realm and I'm looking for spiritual herbs to help me break through all realms," Zheng Shaosi said frankly to his fellow disciples.

After all, since his master had been in seclusion for three months, he was the only one who was stuck at the peak of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, with no way to advance further.

He had made a breakthrough in his physical realm, but his cultivation level remained stuck.

"I wonder which few medicinal herbs you are still missing, Senior Brother? Perhaps we have some."

“Azure Flower! Spirit Candle Fruit, Heaven-Mending Ganoderma…” Zheng Shaosi named eight kinds of spiritual herbs.

These are all extremely precious second-grade high-level spiritual herbs, requiring a second-grade spiritual herb with a medicinal effect of about seven hundred to nine hundred years to be effective.

“I do have a few Azure Flowers that I obtained from the grotto. But that’s all.” Chen Jinshu took out a wooden box containing three azure-blue spiritual herbs from his storage bag and handed it to Zheng Shaosi.

"Thank you, Junior Sister! What would you like, Junior Sister?" Zheng Shaosi asked with delight as he took the item.

Chen Jinshu pondered for a moment, but still couldn't think of what spiritual items were missing.

After all, she had no shortage of spiritual herbs and artifacts; she had come here simply to see if there was anything that caught her eye.

"Senior brother, could you give me a few second-tier talismans?"

"Good! I have ten second-tier high-grade Frost Condensation Talismans here, their power is no less than a full-force attack from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. I also have ten Swiftness Talismans, which can grant the speed of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator when activated! Ten Golden Sword Talismans..."

"Isn't this too many?"

“Junior sister probably doesn’t know how rare this Azure Flower is. Even on Medicine King Peak, which is rich in spiritual herbs, only a few hundred plants grow each year, and they are all reserved in advance by other peaks.” Zheng Shaosi shook his head slightly.

One Azure Flower is equivalent in value to ten Tier 2 High-Grade Spirit Talismans.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother!"

Then, Chen Jinshu and several other fellow disciples made another small transaction.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the Foundation Building Trade Fair finally began as planned.

"Bu Xuanyin greets all fellow disciples!" Bu Xuanyin had a handsome face and a refined demeanor, making him very pleasant to be around.

"I will now preside over this trade fair!"

"The sect is in a state of panic due to several parasites, and my fellow disciples have many spiritual items that they haven't yet sold. So I'll take the lead and be the first to make a transaction."

After Bu Xuanyin finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a large number of spiritual objects and artifacts appeared in front of him, including spiritual swords, spiritual talismans, spiritual pills, and spiritual herbs...
