I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 370 - 226: High-End Trade Fair (Part 2)

"Indeed, this method of trading appeals to me greatly. Master Li, here’s my collection; I agree to exchange it for that God-Hating Coffin, and the rest for Tier Five Thunder Talismans and Fire Talismans," Shangguan Hong said, waving his hand grandly, and a ’small mountain’ of Tier Six Spiritual Materials appeared before him.

"Count me in as well; I also want the God-Hating Coffin. Master Li, could you prioritize my items?" Saintess Lian Yue said, producing a large amount of Thunder Essence Stones, Cyan Thunder Spirit Bamboos, and various high-tier thunder element spiritual objects, not a bit lesser than Shangguan Hong’s.

"Master Li, this is mine! I want to exchange for that Demon-Devouring Spear, three Creation Pills, and two Golden Cauldron Pills," Nangong Feiyu smiled slightly, retrieving a large number of Tier Five and Six spiritual objects with a wave of his hand.

"Master Li, here are my exchange items. I wish to trade for Tier Five Spirit Talismans and a Wood Spirit Sword." Wan Ling Daoist laid out a dozen Tier Five spiritual objects on the table.

...

In no time, everyone’s gaze focused on Li Mu, and various Tier Five and Six Spiritual Materials were placed before him, waiting for his selection.

Faced with so many high-tier spiritual objects, Li Mu was both dazzled and excited, taking a deep breath to calm himself.

"Fellow Daoists, please remain calm. I’ll proceed one by one. Elder Tianyuan, your spiritual objects are for exchanging a Fire Spiritual Treasure, the rest for Creation Pills and Tier Five Fire Lotus Talismans, correct?" Li Mu respectfully inquired of Venerable Tianyuan.

"Indeed!" Venerable Tianyuan nodded happily.

Li Mu examined the spiritual objects Venerable Tianyuan brought out for trade: three Tier Six spiritual materials — a mass of Purple Marrow Dark Soil, a stalk of Dragon Essence Yang Grass, a whole Thunder Copper Wood, and six Tier Five spiritual materials: Ruyi Stone, Tiger-striped Agate,...

Li Mu handed a Tier Five Postnatal Fire Spiritual Treasure along with the corresponding amount of Creation Pills and Tier Five Fire Lotus Talismans to Venerable Tianyuan.

Venerable Tianyuan’s eyes brightened, eagerly tossing ten portions of spiritual materials to Li Mu, completing the trade with contentment.

Seeing the trade completed between Li Mu and Venerable Tianyuan, other cultivators grew secretly anxious.

"Master Li, select what’s appropriate first, don’t just stick to the trades!"

"Indeed! Those of us at the back haven’t traded for suitable spiritual objects yet!"

...

The trades were concluding at Li Mu’s end, so the cultivators in the back couldn’t help but remind him.

"I’m aware!" Li Mu nodded with a smile, placing his hand on the blood-colored coffin, asking the cultivators, "Who among you wants this God-Hating Coffin? Let’s trade this spiritual object first."

"I want that God-Hating Coffin!" an elderly, unkempt man in a yellow robe indicated.

"Me!" Shangguan Hong followed.

"Master Li, I want it too!" Saintess Lian Yue joined in.

"And me!" a plain-faced Divinity Transformation cultivator stated.

Li Mu nodded, his gaze sweeping over the spiritual objects in front of the four, ultimately resting on Shangguan Hong’s pile, deciding, "All four of you want this God-Hating Coffin; however, I favor Elder Shangguan’s spiritual objects, apologies to the three elders."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Chen Hang, Saintess Lian Yue, and the blue-clad Divinity Transformation cultivator all showed looks of disappointment.

"Elder, besides the God-Hating Coffin, you wish to exchange the rest for Tier Five Spirit Talismans, correct?" Li Mu questioned Shangguan Hong who was beaming with joy for confirmation.

"Correct!" Shangguan Hong confidently nodded, promptly pushing eight Tier Six and nine Tier Five spiritual materials to Li Mu.

Li Mu gestured, collecting all those spiritual materials into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, then directly handed the God-Hating Coffin and a thick stack of Tier Five Spirit Talismans to Shangguan Hong.

After completing the trade, Li Mu smiled contentedly, holding the Tier Six Soul-Devouring Spear and asked the cultivators, "Who wants this Demon Spear?"

"I want it!" Nangong Feiyu responded immediately. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"I too want it!" Saintess Lian Yue followed suit.

"And I!"

"For this kind of Demon Artifact, I, Wang, don’t want to miss out!"

...

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, seven Divinity Transformation cultivators reacted, gazing with fervor.

Tier Six Spiritual Treasures are rare, and though this was a Demon Artifact, none of the Divinity Transformation cultivators were willing to let it slip by and competed fervently.

"Now, I’ll select one fellow Daoist for the trade!" Li Mu nodded, examining back and forth among the piles of spiritual materials the seven contenders offered.

"Master Li, hold on, I forgot to take out another spiritual object!" Wang Wuchen recalled something, taking out a white jade bottle from his Storage Ring.

"Inside this Tier Three Soul Cleansing Bottle are 100,000 catties of Tier Six Unstable True Water, priced at two Tier Six spiritual materials. Is that agreeable?" Wang Wuchen looked at Li Mu, indicating his offer.

Li Mu’s eyes lit up, nodding with pleasure: "Certainly!"

Seeing this situation, the remaining six became anxious on the spot!

"Fellow Daoist Wuchen, how shameless! Master Li, I too have an additional spiritual material!" Venerable Chen Hang’s face darkened, thoughtfully retrieving a black spiritual object from his Storage Ring, releasing a mighty spiritual aura instantly.

"Oh my, what is that?"

"Tier Seven - Imperial Armor Earth, Old Ghost Chen, you were hiding such a spiritual object!"

"Old Ghost Chen, you’re despicable!"

...

All the cultivators’ expressions changed dramatically, exclaiming in shock.

"Master Li, my Tier Seven - Imperial Armor Earth counts for three Tier Six spiritual materials, is that alright?" Venerable Chen Hang smiled proudly, looking at Li Mu, who was stupefied, and asked with a grin.

"Yes, of course!" Li Mu snapped back to reality, nodding in agreement.

"All, unless there are other spiritual objects you’ve forgotten, I choose Elder Chen..." Li Mu prepared to announce.

"Master Li, wait a moment, I also have a Tier Seven spiritual object over here." Nangong Feiyu quickly interjected.

As Nangong Feiyu finished speaking, he retrieved a green spiritual material from his Storage Ring, the powerful Wood and Earth Essence Qi filling the area.

"Emperor Origin Wood, heavens, it’s a Tier Seven Emperor Origin Wood!"

"As expected of one of the Eight Great Clans, the Nangong Clan, to present such a Spirit Wood."

...

Upon Nangong Feiyu revealing the Emperor Origin Wood, it instantly stunned the cultivators, invoking the same astonishment as the Tier Seven Imperial Armor Earth, possessing a trace of the Emperor’s Fate Dao Principle, truly extraordinary.

Seeing Nangong Feiyu’s Emperor Origin Wood, the proud look on Venerable Chen Hang’s face vanished instantly, his expression darkening at once.

"Master Li, would you consider me instead?" Nangong Feiyu asked Li Mu with hope.

"This... Elder Chen!" Li Mu looked apologetically at Venerable Chen Hang, knowing that Nangong Feiyu’s spiritual material was of superior quality, and his heart was already inclined.

"Understood!" Venerable Chen Hang waved his hand, angrily retrieving the Tier Seven - Imperial Armor Earth, muttering that had it not been for the Tier Six Soul-Devouring Spear, he wouldn’t have brought out this spiritual object for trade.

In response, Li Mu couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret, looking at Venerable Chen Hang, he awkwardly promised: "Elder Chen, if you don’t mind waiting for a period, once my Artifact Refining Technique advances, I am willing to refine a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure for you."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Chen Hang’s eyes lit up, asking excitedly: "Do you really mean it?"

"Of course, I’ve been stuck at the peak of Tier Five artifact refining for over a decade. These Tier Five Postnatal Spiritual Treasures are all personally refined by me, and I’m just a hair’s breadth away from advancing to Tier Six in Artifact Refining Technique." Li Mu smiled confidently and nodded.

Venerable Chen Hang’s eyes sparkled, looking at the array of Tier Five Postnatal Artifact Spirits before Li Mu, he couldn’t help but believe him. For an Artifact Refining Master capable of crafting so many Tier Five Postnatal Spiritual Treasures, advancing further was likely not far off.

"Master Li, don’t forget me!"

"Yes, indeed! Master Li, we also want to reserve a slot for refining a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure!"

"Master Li!"

...

Listening to Li Mu’s promise to Venerable Chen Hang, the present cultivators eagerly chimed in.

"It’s too soon to say; let’s focus on the current trade first!" Li Mu smiled modestly, not directly responding.

After speaking, Li Mu initiated trade confirmation with Nangong Feiyu: "Fellow Daoist Nangong, this Demon Spear is yours. What would you like the remaining spiritual materials exchanged into, Spiritual Pills or Spirit Talismans?"

"Spiritual Pills and Spirit Talismans are both fine. Master Li, could I also reserve a spot for the crafting of a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure? I am willing to prepay with one Tier Six spiritual material." Nangong Feiyu looked at Li Mu, suggesting expectantly.

Li Mu frowned, hesitating a bit.
