“Oh.” Taoist Qingquan slightly lifted her head, showing off her swan-like white neck, and said with a hint of arrogance, “At least you have some self-awareness. It’s really true that you can’t compare to me. Alright, in the future, when I need to do alchemy or make talismans, I might consider giving you some business.”
Su Yu laughed incredulously, such a forthright woman was truly rare.
Generally speaking, women like her rarely lived to this age.
Taoist Xiuyu, standing next to Taoist Qingquan, shook his head and chucklingly looking at Su Yu as well as Yu Ke’er and Yu Qianqing, he said: “Taoist Friend Su, Taoist Friend Yu, Taoist Friend Ke’er, please forgive her. Junior Sister Qingquan has always been like this, but she is not a bad person at heart.”
“Senior Brother Liejiu has repeatedly asked me to bring Junior Sister Qingquan along on various expeditions, but as you all can see, the results have been far from satisfactory.”
Taoist Qingquan glanced at Taoist Xiuyu and harrumphed: “What ‘taking me on expeditions’? Whenever troubles arise, it’s always me who resolves them. You, on the other hand, always think about running away.”
The group chatted as they walked towards the trading venue in the backyard.
Upon reaching the venue, they found some empty tables next to each other and sat down.
Looking at Su Yu, Luo Chengong remarked in astonishment: “Taoist Friend Su, your cultivation speed is truly rapid. When we meet again, you have already become a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator of the ninth layer.”
Su Yu shook his head and sighed: “Brother Luo, I wouldn’t say that my cultivation speed is fast. Now, I am already over a hundred years old and I have cultivated for nearly a hundred years, barely reaching the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm. How can this be considered fast?”
“As for being a great cultivator, that is even more out of reach. My strength is weak. I might even not be able to overcome an average eight-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator.”
Listening from two tables away, Taoist Qingquan was all ears. Hearing this, she hastily interjected with a coquettish voice, “This is easy to solve, just come practice with me a few times. I guarantee your strength will greatly improve.”
“As I see it, you should have come to the ruins of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate in the Demons’ Ridge with us. There are still many demon beasts, and it’s a great place for practice. You shouldn’t be afraid of dying.”
Luo Chengong chuckled as he watched Su Yu.
Taoist Xiuyu looked at Taoist Qingquan in exasperation. Do you actually believe that?
And your replies are so blunt.
The cultivators who were participating in the trade meeting began to arrive one after another and sat down at the tables arranged in the backyard.
Suddenly,
Su Yu narrowed his eyes – in his sight were Xu Changqing and Huang Shengyi, who appeared drastically different compared to the time they met at the banquet in Dayue Market. She was wearing a thin yellow dress that perfectly outlined her silhouette, giving off a faintly visible allure.
There was an air of enchantment about Huang Shengyi, a sort of fairy-like charm. Her every move seemed capable of captivating others!
Recalling the information Taoist Xiuyu had shared earlier, Su Yu retracted his gaze and thought to himself, “Dual Cultivation? Can the Dual Cultivation Technique cause such a drastic transformation? She used to be ordinary and plain, but now her aura has drastically changed, and she almost seems like a completely different person.”
Once all the cultivators had taken their seats, a powerful and terrifying aura descended from the sky amidst deafening thunder. The crowd saw a figure streaking with electricity appearing before their eyes.
“Ha, ha, ha.”
The Thunder Taoist arrived, laughed heartily, and saluted the cultivators sitting around the tables: “Greetings to the Fellow Taoists, and welcome to the trade meeting in Leiting Market.”
“Let’s observe the usual rules; I’ll go first.”
Speaking, the Thunder Taoist didn’t waste any further words. With a wave of his hand, a bamboo with a length of five feet appeared in his hand.
The Thunder Taoist sniggered and said: “This is five hundred-year-old third-grade Thunder Bamboo. It can be used to refine excellent magic artifacts or talismans. I will only accept middle-grade Spirit Stones or third-grade talismans in exchange; my fellow Taoist Friends may bid however they like.”
Some cultivators in the crowd started whispering and discussing.
This grade of Thunder Bamboo was of little use to ordinary cultivation families but quite useful for cultivators at the Core Formation Stage.
“Eight hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones.” A cultivator at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment made a tentative bid.
The next moment, sitting across Su Yu, Tie Tongsheng from the Tie Family bid: “One thousand two hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones.”
The Tie Family specialized in Artifact Refining, and this five-hundred-year-old Thunder Bamboo was an excellent refining material for them.
Afterward, someone else hesitantly raised the price to one thousand three hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones.
Su Yu smiled slightly and said: “One thousand five hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones.”
Opposite him,
Tie Tongsheng, the old man, and the woman looked at Su Yu in surprise. They had investigated Su Yu and knew that he was just an elder of a small cultivation family under the Yunjian Sect.
That cultivation family didn’t even have a Core Formation Realm True Man.
Did such a weak family dare to bid one thousand five hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones for the Thunder Bamboo?
Tie Tongsheng wanted to ask whether Su Yu was artificially inflating the price, considering he had previously had a conflict with him and offended Su Yu’s Daoist companion.
However, after thinking it over, Tie Tongsheng ultimately decided not to continue bidding.
His family wasn’t desperate for that one piece of material. So, he decided to take a step back.
The Thunder Taoist turned to Su Yu and smiled, saying, “Congratulations, young Taoist Friend, the Thunder Bamboo is now yours.”
Su Yu took out one thousand five hundred and ten middle-grade Spirit Stones and handed them to the Thunder Taoist.
Among them, ten middle-grade Spirit Stones were the transaction fee.
The Thunder Taoist pointed with his finger, and the Thunder Bamboo floating in front of him blinked and appeared in front of Su Yu.
