Hearing the transmission from Elder Qin San,
Zhang Ling nodded slightly in response, saying, "I happen to have gathered seven spiritual items here."
"Oh, seven items? Fellow Daoist, please bring them over for a look. If they meet the trading conditions, this piece of Purple Essence Copper will naturally belong to you." While transmitting his voice, Elder Qin San glanced in another direction, signaling towards it.
Observing this small action, Zhang Ling also glanced over and saw a female cultivator cloaked in black robes standing up.
With a shift of her figure, the black-robed female cultivator crossed several zhang and arrived in front of Elder Qin San, waving her hand to produce seven items.
So, this is the person competing with me for the Purple Essence Copper.
Zhang Ling also stood up and came to Elder Qin San's side, similarly taking out seven items.
Elder Qin San gestured to both of them and began to examine the items one by one.
The black-robed female cultivator beside him also turned her head to look at Zhang Ling, seemingly sizing him up.
Zhang Ling naturally sensed this and met the female cultivator's gaze. The woman was cloaked in black robes, revealing only a slight outline of her face. When divine sense swept across her face, it was deflected.
Clearly, she possessed some treasure that interfered with divine sense or had cast a powerful secret technique. Her cultivation was also difficult to discern, with her aura fluctuating between strong and weak.
Although her cultivation felt like the peak of early-stage Nascent Soul realm, Zhang Ling still keenly sensed a dangerous feeling from her.
This situation strongly suggested that the woman was hiding her cultivation.
"Haha, the items brought by both fellow Daoists meet the requirements. However, I must apologize to the fairy. The items brought by this fellow Daoist are all the essential spiritual items that I listed for collection."
"Hmph."
With a cold snort, the black-robed female cultivator extended a fair hand and retrieved the items she had taken out. Without looking at Elder Qin and Zhang Ling, she retreated to her original position.
"Hehe, her temper is always like this, but rest assured, fellow Daoist, this fairy will definitely not cause you trouble." Elder Qin San smiled helplessly, pointed at the jade box containing the Purple Essence Copper, and the jade box floated in front of Zhang Ling.
Hearing this, Zhang Ling was stunned. Judging from his words, Elder Qin San seemed to recognize the black-robed woman.
He nodded silently, not paying much attention, and began to examine the Purple Essence Copper.
This piece of Purple Essence Copper was the size of a watermelon, dark red in color, with many bumps and pits on its surface, and some strange purple lines could be seen on it, like dark patterns winding and changing.
After scanning it several times with his divine sense and confirming that it was correct, Zhang Ling put away the Purple Essence Copper.
"Fellow Daoist has confirmed that there are no mistakes, so the transaction is complete. Qin will accept these seven spiritual items." Elder Qin San smiled, and the storage bracelet he was playing with flashed, taking the seven items into it.
Zhang Ling cupped his hands towards the Third Elder and also retreated to his original position. He sighed in his heart, thinking that this piece of Purple Essence Copper was not easy to trade for.
Among the seven items he took out, four were thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Among them, the most valuable was a fifth-grade Fire Velvet Ganoderma with more than two thousand years of age.
This Fire Velvet Ganoderma alone was worth at least close to seven or eight hundred thousand spiritual stones.
The other three items he put together were also valuable, including two seventh-order magic crystals and a small piece of Geng metal the size of a finger.
If it weren't for obtaining a lot of Geng metal ore under the magic spring, Zhang Ling would not have taken out these rare items.
Speaking of which, these three items were all spiritual items he obtained from the alien demons and the magic wind island overseas.
Back then, Blue Sparrow asked him to collect a hundred magic crystals, so he killed many high-level monsters in the sea area of Magic Wind Island.
He was even fortunate enough to encounter an eighth-order monster that was killed by a powerful restriction on the island. He picked up the monster's corpse and an eighth-order magic crystal.
The eighth-order magic crystal was given to Blue Sparrow at that time. But after entering the magic spring, Blue Sparrow absorbed a large amount of magic energy using a secret method.
She no longer needed him to collect magic crystals, so he kept twenty or thirty high-level magic crystals.
The value of these high-level magic crystals is even higher among human cultivators. Many cultivators who practice magic arts need magic crystals.
In fact, in the Northern Plains cultivation world, the demon cores of monsters are much more valuable than those in the Liuyun Sea.
The biggest reason is that there are very few high-level monsters in the Northern Plains cultivation world.
Basically, except for the northernmost Ice Plains and some high-level monsters in the southeastern sea area, they are rarely seen elsewhere.
Five thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, two seventh-order magic crystals, and a small piece of Geng metal. If they were all exchanged for spiritual stones, they would be worth at least more than three million.
Fortunately, the Purple Essence Copper he exchanged for was enough to re-refine the Black Bone Giant Claw.
Zhang Ling felt that it was still worth it, and he had not come in vain. Now he only lacked Taiyi Gold Crystal. He released wisps of divine sense to scan the entire venue. He also looked at the treasures that others had taken out for exchange.
He hoped to find this last spiritual ore.
At the same time, he also placed a few bottles of pills on the table that were very beneficial to Nascent Soul cultivators for improving their mana, as well as two other ordinary fourth-grade thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.
Naturally, he did not forget to engrave the spiritual objects he needed to exchange for on the black and white small screen with his divine sense.
The first thing he engraved was naturally Taiyi Gold Crystal, as well as some materials for refining puppets.
"Hey, someone seems to have high-grade spiritual stones." Just after finishing this, Blue Sparrow's voice came from his ear.
Zhang Ling's divine sense condensed, and he immediately noticed a corner position, in front of a table, sat a figure wrapped in black light.
This person could not be seen clearly, male or female, and their cultivation was in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. There were no items for trade on the table. But on the black and white screen on the table, the words 'High-Grade Fire Spiritual Stone' were written.
Zhang Ling frowned. This person did not take out the high-grade fire spiritual stone, nor did they say what conditions they wanted to trade for, which seemed a bit mysterious.
"You inquire whether this person really has high-grade fire spiritual stones. If they really have them, be sure to get them." Blue Sparrow's voice sounded in Zhang Ling's sea of consciousness again.
"Senior, rest assured, if this person really has high-grade fire spiritual stones, I will definitely get them." Zhang Ling responded, thinking in his heart. This mysterious cultivator clearly wanted to talk in person.
High-grade spiritual stones are extremely scarce in the cultivation world, but some powerful sects with deep foundations may still be able to find a few.
As long as the spiritual power in the high-grade spiritual stone is not completely consumed, it can slowly recover its spiritual energy when placed in a spiritual vein. This is the main reason why high-grade spiritual stones can still be found in the human world.
Most of them were passed down from the ancient world.
Of course, if a high-grade spiritual stone mine is discovered somewhere, it may also give birth to high-grade spiritual stones.
In the past tens of thousands of years, this situation has happened several times in the cultivation world.
Because he had to collect high-grade spiritual stones for Blue Sparrow, Zhang Ling paid attention to this situation at all times.
According to the information he found, the most recent time seems to have been more than two thousand years ago, in a barren area called Shuofeng Plain at the junction of the righteous and demonic forces, where an unexploited high-grade spiritual mine was discovered.
A large number of medium and high-grade spiritual stones were mined from it, as well as two high-grade spiritual stones.
At that time, the righteous and demonic sides fought endlessly, triggering a conflict between the righteous and demonic sides. In the end, the spiritual stone mine was jointly maintained by the major sects of the righteous and demonic sides.
It seems that it has not been completely mined until now, and it is said that it has been reduced to an ordinary medium-grade spiritual mine.
Thousands of years ago, a large-scale high-grade spiritual mine was also discovered in the sea area near the East Sea, which produced high-grade water spiritual stones.
Of course, in the human world, only a few extremely high-grade spiritual mines that can produce a large number of high-grade spiritual stones have appeared in legends during the ancient times.
Even if relics can still be found, they are mostly abandoned. The high-grade gold spiritual stone he obtained a few years ago can be regarded as this type of situation.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is mutually transformed and constantly changing. It is possible that in ancient times, a certain place was rich in spiritual energy and could give birth to spiritual veins.
But today, the place that was originally rich in spiritual energy may have become an abandoned area with sparse spiritual energy.
He has already collected high-grade gold spiritual stones and high-grade earth spiritual stones. If this cultivator really has high-grade fire spiritual stones, he will not be far from collecting five five-element spiritual stones.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ling released a wisp of divine sense and asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you really have high-grade fire spiritual stones in your hand?"
As soon as he asked, the cultivator immediately replied, "I do have a high-grade fire spiritual stone in my hand, but the thing I want to exchange is not an ordinary thing."
"I am very interested in high-grade fire spiritual stones. Fellow Daoist, what do you want to exchange for? Maybe I have it in my hand."
"I need a fourth-grade or higher Breaking Calamity Pill. If you don't have this type of pill, then there is no need to talk about it." The other party's cold voice immediately came over.
"Breaking Calamity Pill?"
Zhang Ling was stunned. So, he wanted to exchange for this kind of Breaking Calamity Pill that could remove soul restrictions. Wasn't this a coincidence? He happened to have a Breaking Calamity Pill in his hand, which was still a sixth-grade Awakening Spirit Pill.
"So, fellow Daoist needs this kind of pill. I happen to have one in my hand."
"What? You really have a Breaking Calamity Pill in your hand?" The other party's tone became excited, and at the same time, he glanced at him, asking eagerly, "The one I need is at least fourth-grade. Don't try to fool me with ordinary pills."
"Rest assured, the Breaking Calamity Pill in my hand definitely meets your requirements. However, does阁下 really have high-grade fire spiritual stones in your hand?"
Zhang Ling did not immediately tell the other party that the pill in his hand was a sixth-grade Breaking Calamity Pill. After all, this kind of spiritual pill was also extremely precious.
Fourth and fifth-grade pills that improve mana are rare spiritual pills for Nascent Soul cultivators. What's more, a Breaking Calamity Pill that removes soul restrictions is still as high as sixth-grade.
Naturally, he had to first confirm whether the other party really had high-grade spiritual stones. If he revealed his bottom line all at once, and this person developed evil intentions, it would inevitably cause some trouble.
This kind of thing had to be guarded against.
The two talked for a few more breaths of time, and the other party still did not take out the high-grade fire spiritual stone. In the end, they reached an agreement to find another time to trade privately after the trade fair ended.
Zhang Ling was slightly disappointed that he did not see the high-grade fire spiritual stone, but thinking about it, it made sense. High-grade spiritual stones were not ordinary things, and the other party was so careful, obviously a cautious person.
He even thought in his heart that this person had something wrong with his soul, maybe he was restricted by someone.
But seeing that this person had the strength of the mid-Nascent Soul stage, this situation should not be possible. If he was really restricted by someone, it could only be a higher-level cultivator.
Could it be that this person had provoked a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage?
Of course, this was just a possibility. The other party may also be collecting this kind of pill for others. Although there may be trouble, Zhang Ling still planned to trade with this person privately after the trade fair ended.
"Fellow Daoist, how do you want to exchange these bottles of spiritual pills that improve mana? I happen to have some iron essence here that meets your exchange requirements."
At this time, a strange voice transmission entered his ears, pulling Zhang Ling's thoughts back. He saw a middle-aged man in white robes walking over.
This person was full of red light and was naturally a Nascent Soul cultivator, and did not hide his figure. There were also seven or eight cultivators who did not hide their appearance like this in the trading venue.
"If fellow Daoist wants to trade these bottles of fourth-grade Water Yuan Pills, each bottle needs about a hundred pounds of iron essence," Zhang Ling said politely.
He talked with this person for a few more words and bargained. This person took out hundreds of pounds of iron essence and exchanged all the bottles of pills.
Next, several other people traded with Zhang Ling. Most of them valued the pills and spiritual herbs he took out. He basically exchanged them all for five-element spiritual mines.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. Calculating the time, the trade fair was about to end.
Some cultivators had already left the venue.
Zhang Ling had not found Taiyi Gold Crystal, and no one even asked about it.
He had checked some related classics about Taiyi Gold Crystal. It was a top-level spiritual mine of the same level as Geng metal, but it was even rarer.
This kind of spiritual mine can only be formed if fragments of extraterrestrial stars fall into this world.
It seems that it has only appeared once or twice in thousands of years. Even if some old monsters have it, they are afraid that they will treat it like a treasure and will not easily take it out.
It seems that to collect this material, he can only look at the opportunity again.
During this period, Zhang Ling also took a fancy to some other things that others took out. He also exchanged them several times, mostly some auxiliary materials, the value was not great.
At this time, Zhang Ling suddenly sensed something and looked to the side. He saw the black light figure who had agreed to trade high-grade fire spiritual stones with him privately, glanced in his direction, and then left.
At the same time, a voice came. "See you at Moyun Tower in the southwest square city three days later."
Zhang Ling watched the person leave, waved his hand lightly, and put the remaining items that had not been traded into the storage bag. He also stood up and planned to leave.
Suddenly, another voice transmission entered his ears. "Does this fellow Daoist still have magic crystals? I have a piece of yellow jade crystal here, which is the material you need."
Zhang Ling was overjoyed and quickly turned his head to look over. It was actually Elder Qin San sitting in the center, smiling at him slightly.
Yellow jade crystal is the main spiritual material for refining the Yellow Luo Umbrella.
In the battle with the Blood Demon Sanren, although his Yellow Luo Umbrella was not completely destroyed, the umbrella surface had become pitted and the defense was greatly reduced.
