Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Three days flickered by, and Lin Shiming, in accordance with the agreement, donned a Spirit-Concealing Veil and arrived at a grand hall where the trading event was to take place.

The trading event operated on a barter system, akin to the Foundation Establishment event at the Daobao Tower of Qingxuan City that Lin Shiming had attended. The hall was vast, and as expected, most of the cultivators present were wearing Spirit-Concealing Veils.

By the time Lin Shiming arrived, the hall was already seated with an impressive gathering of about thirty people.

Their chosen spots were mostly towards the back.

After surveying the room, Lin Shiming also picked a spot towards the rear and settled down quietly, then he began to contemplate the treasures he could offer for exchange.

More cultivators entered the hall in succession, and after half an hour, it was nearly full. As the appointed time arrived, several people finally took their seats in the front rows of the hall.

They were Purple Mansion cultivators.

However, Lin Shiming did not see any Sect Purple Mansion cultivators among them; they were all powerful ancestors from the Purple Mansion families.

"Alright, everyone has arrived. I am Daoguang, the Elder behind the curtain of the Zhenbao Pavilion. The reason for initiating this trading event is twofold. Firstly, with the demonic sects at our doorstep, everyone should exchange what they need to enhance their strength and prevent invasion!

Secondly, the Dao Enlightenment Conference is around the corner, and there are undoubtedly talented geniuses among us. If you can exchange for some powerful treasure useful in combat, securing a spot in the Dao Enlightenment Conference and potentially acquiring Divine Skills, a future in the Purple Mansion could be within reach, thereby adding strength to Zhao Kingdom!"

"Well, I won't waste more words. This trading event will be conducted on a barter basis, of course. If any of you cannot exchange for the treasures you desire, you may also choose to sell them at a price. Everything is purely voluntary!" As the time commenced, a Purple Mansion cultivator in brocade robes stepped onto the stage.

"The trading event will start with me setting the example!"

"A Fourth Rank Magical Artifact, the Bi Hong Sword, in exchange for a defensive Magical Treasure or Fourth Rank precious metal materials suitable for crafting defensive Magical Treasures, a Fourth Rank Demonic Beast Purple Clouded Leopard cub in exchange for a Fourth Rank defensive Magical Treasure or Fourth Rank defensive material, a Third Rank Supreme Grade Magic Artifact, the Bloodthirsty Poison Needle, an assassin's choice weapon that can easily pierce through the Spirit Shield of a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator, for Fourth Rank defensive materials!

A Third Rank Superior Grade Barrier-Breaking Pill that can improve a cultivator's chances of breaking through the late stages of Foundation Establishment by thirty percent, in exchange for Fourth Rank defensive materials..."

Hermit Daoguang listed four treasures in succession, causing everyone in the grand hall to hold their breath.

Whether it was the Magical Treasures or the Third Rank Supreme Grade Magic Artifact, it made everyone's heart beat faster.

Even Lin Shiming's heart was moved, though he had no Fourth Rank defensive Magical Treasures to offer, nor could he procure Fourth Rank defensive materials.

The Fourth Rank Purple Clouded Leopard cub was quickly purchased by a Purple Mansion family member from the Qingxuan Sect, and to Lin Shiming's surprise, both the Third Rank Supreme Grade Bloodthirsty Poison Needle and the Third Rank Superior Grade Barrier-Breaking Pill were exchanged by a cultivator at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

As the exchanges concluded, many cultivators' eyes fixed intently on the mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

It was as if they wanted to see through the veil and discern the cultivator's face.

Naturally, this was not possible, unless one of the cultivators present could disregard Hermit Daoguang and forcefully probe the other cultivator with Divine Sense. Even if it were possible, it would surely offend Hermit Daoguang.

After successfully exchanging three items, Hermit Daoguang stepped down from the stage with a joyous expression and was followed by another Purple Mansion cultivator.

The Purple Mansion cultivators who replaced him were clearly there to exchange for defensive Magical Treasures or Fourth Rank Defense Talismans.

Lin Shiming saw many treasures he had never heard of before, which greatly broadened his horizons.

After the Purple Mansion cultivators, it was time for Foundation Establishment cultivators to make their exchanges.

The first Foundation Establishment cultivator to step onto the stage was one in the late stages of Foundation Establishment who produced a Jade Slip and a bag of seeds.

Then he spoke indifferently,

"Here, Jia has a Wood Demonic Beast enhancement Secret Technique, along with Third Rank Superior Grade seeds of the Poisonous Dragon Vine. Only looking to exchange for a Third Rank Superior Grade Escape Talisman or an equivalent thousand-year-old Spiritual Liquid!"

Lin Shiming had not expected that a Foundation Establishment cultivator coming up to the stage first would present something he was interested in.

Whether it was the Demonic Beast enhancement secret technique or the third rank superior grade Poisonous Dragon Vine seeds, both were items he needed at the moment.

The former could improve the Demonic Beast, which would allow his Mingxin Tea Tree to break through the third rank, while the latter would significantly enhance his combat strength.

Regardless of whether he participated in the Jiuye Dao Enlightenment Conference, they were good items for exchange.

"Fellow Jia, I have Dragon Blood Grass, Monster Attraction Grass, a third rank intermediate grade Tiangang Sword Formation, and a third rank superior grade magical treasure, the Monster Binding Ring. I wonder if you might be interested?" Lin Shiming also decisively transmitted his voice to the cultivator surnamed Jia.

He then stepped forward and took out his Storage Bag, allowing the other party to inspect it with their Divine Sense.

However, to Lin Shiming's disappointment, the cultivator named Jia clearly shook his head and didn't agree to the exchange.

Lin Shiming had no choice but to give up and wait for other cultivators to see if he could make an exchange.

Until the very end, the cultivator named Jia did not successfully make a trade.

Lin Shiming's expression was also not very good.

Not only had he seen the Demonic Beast enhancement secret technique and the Poisonous Dragon Vine seeds this time, but he was unable to trade for them.

The trading session continued, and Lin Shiming did not find any third rank Spirit Vine seeds or the Demonic Beast enhancement secret technique again.

But just then, he saw a cultivator in a yellow robe suddenly take out three treasures. One of them, Lin Shiming was exceptionally familiar with—a treasure map. He had two such maps in his Storage Bag.

"One map to the Qingxuan Secret Realm Ancient Medicine Garden, one third rank supreme grade Wind Escape Talisman! I will only trade for body tempering spiritual materials or Body Tempering Spirit Pills!"

Lin Shiming was hearing about the origin of the treasure map for the first time, but he was somewhat skeptical. With so many copies of the treasure map available, being taken out for trade could still be a trap.

However, to his surprise, a Purple Mansion Family cultivator traded for the map, which sparked lively discussions among many cultivators.

What surprised him even more was that the cultivator named Jia took the initiative to contact him:

"Fellow Lin, I wonder if your Dragon Blood Grass is still available for exchange?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Fellow Jia really knows how to calculate!" 'Fellow Lin' was naturally an alias for Lin Shiming, but obviously, since Jia could not get the third rank supreme grade Wind Escape Talisman, he thought of exchanging Lin's Dragon Blood Grass first, and then try to trade for the talisman.

And how would Lin Shiming give the other party a pleasant face!

"At this critical moment of battle, please forgive me, Fellow Lin!" The cultivator surnamed Jia continued to transmit his voice, which also contained a hint of helplessness.

"We can trade, but I will trade my five Dragon Blood Grasses only for your Poisonous Dragon Vine seeds. In addition, I will use the Monster Binding Ring in exchange for your Demonic Beast enhancement secret technique!" Lin Shiming spoke again, and after hesitating for a while, the cultivator named Jia finally agreed.

Lin Shiming finally obtained the Poisonous Dragon Vine seeds and the Demonic Beast enhancement secret technique. However, that secret technique, though called so, was actually just a formula for a third rank Spiritual Liquid, similar to a pill formula. It was only capable of elevating the Demonic Beast to the third rank, far inferior to his Bloodline Reversion Secret Technique.

But for the moment, the Demonic Beast's enhancement was indeed needed.

When it was Lin Shiming's turn to go on stage, he took out the Tiangang Sword Formation, but no one traded for it, so Lin Shiming simply stepped down.

He had already obtained the items he wanted.

The trading session soon ended, and as Lin Shiming walked out of the trading hall, he received a transmission from Lin Xianzhi.

The Zi Xuan Hermit had also arrived in Jiuye City.
