Free Web NovelChapter 587: Chapter 259: A Strange Transaction
After hearing these words, Female Cultivator Jia looked at Chu Ning and shook her head, saying:
"A Tier Five Demon Beast isn’t enough to meet my needs.
If you could trade the materials and Demon Cores of the Tier Five Demon Beasts you just showed, I would have done so already."
"What about a Tier Six?" Chu Ning asked with a smile at this point.
"Tier Six?"
Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, the Female Cultivator in palace attire looked intrigued.
"Does Fellow Daoist Chu still have materials and Inner Cores of Tier Six Demon Beasts? If it’s a Water Attribute Demon Beast and there’s enough of it, even if it’s not a complete corpse, I might consider it."
Chu Ning smiled upon hearing her words and said:
"What a coincidence, I indeed have it, and it’s a complete Tier Six Demon Beast corpse."
Saying this, Chu Ning took out a Storage Bag and tossed it towards the Female Cultivator Jia in palace attire.
Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, everyone showed expressions of surprise.
Having a Tier Six Demon Beast’s Demon Core and materials is entirely different from having a complete corpse of a Tier Six Demon Beast.
Even a Tier Six Demon Beast, after special handling, has a limited preservation time.
But the Demon Core and materials can be preserved for a long time once extracted.
Female Cultivator Jia in palace attire accepted Chu Ning’s Storage Bag, and after seeing its contents, she also showed a look of delight.
"The Demon Beast corpse, Fellow Daoist, is less than half a month since its death, and its Essence Blood and Demon Power have not dispersed, so it can be used for exchange.
However, my Ice Soul Bead is quite powerful and, if infused with enough Magical Power, can unleash an attack comparable to a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator.
All things considered, you are not at a disadvantage, Fellow Daoist."
Chu Ning also smiled and said, "Of course, this is a win-win situation."
Upon hearing their conversation, the crowd glanced at both Chu Ning and Ling Cang.
They couldn’t help but feel amazed in their hearts.
"Ling Cang is indeed quite good to this Junior Brother Chu of his, even going out of his way to kill a Tier Six Demon Beast for him to attend this trade fair.
And it just so happens that Fellow Daoist Jia needed this item."
They could tell from Female Cultivator Jia’s expression that Chu Ning’s item was exactly to her liking.
Naturally, no one else attempted to bid with other items.
In fact, a complete corpse of a Tier Six Water Attribute Demon Beast is not something that can be casually conjured by anyone present.
After all, such things are hard to come by.
However, at this moment, Ling Cang was even more shocked than the others in his heart.
He could also see the thoughts in everyone’s minds.
But only Ling Cang knew that the Tier Six Demon Beast was not killed by him, nor did any other Golden Core Cultivator from the Sect intervene.
This leaves only one explanation: the Tier Six Demon Beast was slain by Chu Ning!
"A cultivator who has just reached Core Formation, without even refining a Lifebound Magical Treasure,
yet capable of slaying a Tier Six Demon Beast comparable to a Middle Stage Golden Core, Junior Brother Chu’s Divine Techniques are indeed astounding!"
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ling Cang naturally wouldn’t provide further explanations.
As for Chu Ning, he certainly wouldn’t either.
In fact, after exchanging the Ice Soul Bead, Chu Ning had set his sights on the Dragon Beard Grass Essence Dew in her possession.
When Chu Ning expressed a desire to trade, Female Cultivator Jia in palace attire promptly agreed.
To Chu Ning’s surprise, she didn’t ask for his Spirit Medicine Materials but inquired whether he had any Advanced Upper Grade Talismans.
Chu Ning naturally had some, so he brought out a few Talismans.
He then exchanged them for the Dragon Beard Grass Essence Dew, which was overlooked by others but was valuable to him.
After this transaction, Chu Ning lost interest in the exchanges of other cultivators that followed.
Until the end of this small trade meeting, Chu Ning did not trade for anything else.
At this time, Xue Shoujing stood up with a smile and said:
"Fellow Daoists, please feel free to catch up with old friends now.
There are numerous quiet rooms arranged in this building, so if any Fellow Daoist wants a quiet place, feel free to proceed."
Ling Cang then turned to Chu Ning and asked:
"Junior Brother, I’m going to catch up with some old friends, would you like to join me?"
Chu Ning shook his head after hearing this and said:
"Senior Brother, please go ahead. That Fellow Daoist Liao probably still has matters to discuss with me."
Ling Cang glanced over and indeed saw that Fellow Daoist Liao, the elder in hemp clothing, was walking towards them.
Although slightly surprised, he was not inclined to inquire further.
He nodded slightly and then left on his own.
Liao Chuanhai had already approached Chu Ning. He transmitted a message again, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, have you found the relevant Talisman Making Technique?"
At this point, Chu Ning was just a step away from completing the analysis of the Talisman Source.
He then said, "I have some clues, and I’ve just recalled. It was too crowded here, so it wasn’t convenient to take out the Jade Scroll.
Why don’t we find a quiet room, and I’ll carefully search for it and transcribe it for you, Fellow Daoist?"
"That sounds excellent!" The elder in hemp clothing immediately agreed.
So, they both moved to a quiet room.
"Fellow Daoist Liao, I apologize. I’m not well-versed in the Talisman Making Technique, having only had slight contact with it.
Hence, I need to scrutinize it carefully."
As Chu Ning spoke, he took out a Jade Scroll and pretended to start examining it.
In fact, he was proceeding with the final step of analyzing the Talisman Source.
A short while later, just when Liao Chuanhai was puzzled about why Chu Ning was taking so long to find a Talisman Making Technique.
Chu Ning already smiled and said:
"I found it, it should be this one!"
Saying this, Chu Ning took out a Blank Jade Scroll.
He then directly inscribed the Talisman Making Technique, which he had already analyzed, into it.
As he handed the Jade Scroll to Liao Chuanhai, he asked:
"Fellow Daoist, please take a look. Is this the one?"
Liao Chuanhai, evidently knowledgeable in Talisman Making Technique, took it from Chu Ning’s hands, and a look of joy quickly appeared in his eyes.
"Indeed, this is the seal... the Talisman Making Technique for this talisman."
Liao Chuanhai seemingly realized it was inappropriate to name the talisman and stopped abruptly.
Chu Ning, however, didn’t mind. From the rune principles of the talisman, he had vaguely guessed that it was a type of seal talisman.
The exact name was not important.
At this time, Liao Chuanhai took out two Small Jade Bottles from his Storage Bag and handed them over to Chu Ning.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, here are two drops of Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, which I just promised to exchange with you.
I hope Fellow Daoist will not mention this to others."
Chu Ning naturally nodded in agreement. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Liao Chuanhai did not say much more, only inviting Chu Ning to visit Everlasting Sect when he had time, and then left the quiet room.
Chu Ning also left the quiet room and returned to the outer room, not seeing Ling Cang’s figure.
He was not familiar with the other cultivators and had no intention of catching up or chatting with any of them.
After some thought, he went downstairs.
