Chapter 397: Chapter 97: Shadow Escape Flying Boat

The elder sighed helplessly at the sight.

“My fellow daoists, if anyone has a Divine Sense Technique, please don’t hide it. If you think this Jade Heart Creeper is not enough, I can add some Spirit Stones or other treasures.”

After the elder’s words fell, there was another round of murmuring below, but still, no one stood up.

Clearly.

This Divine Sense Technique was not so easy to obtain.

It seemed that none of these people had it on them.

Or perhaps, they simply did not want to take it out.

And Lin Jing was among them.

Lin Jing obtained the Dao Transformation Divinity Technique on Immortal Crossing Island before, which was a Divine Sense Technique.

But the Dao Transformation Divinity Technique, just like the Overlord Divine Physique, was one of the top Cultivation Techniques in the Cultivation World.

Naturally, Lin Jing could not possibly take it out for an exchange.

After a while, when no one else stood up,

the Shopkeeper by the side asked:

“Does this daoist have any other items he wishes to exchange?”

The elder shook his head and said:

“No…”

The Shopkeeper continued:

“In that case…”

“It seems that none of our friends present today have a Divine Sense Technique, so please wait for the next opportunity…”

The elder nodded, then stepped down from the stage and returned to his seat to sit down.

After the elder stepped down, another Cultivator went up to the stage.

This Cultivator went straight to the point after getting on stage and directly took out a Magical Treasure, Flying Sword, and then said to the others:

“I will exchange this Flying Sword in my hand for a Formation to guard a dwelling.”

Having said that, he began to introduce the Flying Sword in his hand:

“This Flying Sword, called ‘Night Wasteland’, is a superior Magical Treasure made from…”

The Cultivator gave a detailed introduction…

A moment later, after the Cultivator finished presenting,

a woman Cultivator wearing a black veil immediately stood up.

She then said, “I do have a Formation here that is quite suitable for defending a dwelling.”

Having said this.

She also took out a few Formation flags and began introducing them…

In the end, both parties were very satisfied.

And successfully completed the transaction.

After the two completed their transaction, the Cultivator stepped down from the stage, and another Cultivator went up.

…

…

In this manner, each person who went up on the stage would present precious Magical Treasures, materials, Elixir Medicines, and the like for display.

The people below would then trade with those on stage based on their own needs.

And Lin Jing sat quietly in the corner, watching.

He never made a move.

Although some of the items displayed on stage did pique Lin Jing’s interest, they were not essential to him.

So, Lin Jing never made a move.

Soon.

Several Cultivators had displayed their treasures they wished to exchange.

On stage was the red-haired Cultivator Lin Jing had encountered before at the Seven Seas Hall. He had just come down from the stage.

He too had gotten what he wished, exchanging a Cultivation Technique for a Defensive Magical Treasure he needed.

After the red-haired Cultivator stepped down, another person went up.

This person was dressed in black and had a cold expression, exuding an extremely cool demeanor. Moreover, his Cultivation was not low, actually at the Golden Core Peak.

After getting on stage, he did not engage in any other conversation.

He directly took out a miniature silver-white Flying Boat, a seed, and a Defensive Magical Treasure.

Lin Jing’s gaze was immediately attracted to that seed.

Because it was a seed of the Nirvana Flower.

However, this Nirvana Flower seed was not whole, lacking a small part.

Then, the person directly said:

“No need to talk much…”

“This Flying Boat, named Shadow Escape…”

“And this Nirvana Flower seed, plus this Thunder Shock Shield in my hand…”

“I will exchange these three items for a Nirvana Elixir of at least medium grade quality.”

When this Cultivator took the stage, the audience began murmuring to each other.

Lin Jing perked up his ears, listening to their conversations.

From their talks, Lin Jing learned…

That this person was the one the red-haired Cultivator had mentioned before, the one who wanted to acquire the Nirvana Elixir.

When he presented these items, the Cultivators below immediately erupted into excitement.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed:

“Wow…”

“The Shadow Escape Flying Boat…”

“I remember that’s a flying Magical Treasure of an extremely mysterious Nascent Soul True Monarch. How did it end up in his hands?”

…

“Exactly…”

“The Shadow Escape Flying Boat is very famous; it’s said that in terms of speed, it ranks within the top ten that are known in the southern outer seas.”

“Moreover, the Shadow Escape Flying Boat also has a decent defensive capability, and that unique stealth function.”

“If we really talk about practicality, even if it doesn’t compare to the Nirvana Elixir, it’s not far off.”

…

Someone similarly agreed:

“Indeed, the value of this Shadow Escape Flying Boat is indeed considerable.”

“If it were auctioned, it might even be more expensive than the Nirvana Elixir.”

After the Cultivator’s words fell, someone immediately expressed a different opinion:

“Though the Shadow Escape Flying Boat is excellent, that Nirvana Elixir is not so easy to obtain.”

“It’s unusual to see one in tens of years, and even if it does appear, it’s targeted by the major powers, leaving none for us.”

“For us Loose Cultivators, who knows how many years of effort it would take to collect the ingredients for a batch to refine the Nirvana Elixir.”

“And even so, success in refining it is not guaranteed.”

“If someone has a Nirvana Elixir, who wouldn’t keep it for themselves to consume? How could they possibly trade it away?”

“No matter how powerful a Magical Treasure is, can it compare to the importance of one’s own strength increasing?”

……

At this point, he suddenly changed his tone and continued to speak:

“Unless…”

“Someone has more than one Nirvana Elixir.”

“Only in that case, would they take out a Medium Grade Nirvana Elixir to trade for this Shadow Escape Flying Boat.”

…

Then, another person similarly agreed and said:

“That’s also true…”

“Who would exchange a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul stage for a flying Magical Treasure?”

“Unless…”

“They already have Nascent Soul Cultivation and have no need for a Nirvana Elixir.”

“Or they have more than one Nirvana Elixir…”

……

While everyone was discussing fervently, another young Cultivator attending this trading assembly for the first time, asked the person beside him:

“But what kind of Magical Treasure is that Thunder Shock Shield? He didn’t give an introduction, did he?”

The Cultivator beside him then explained:

“He already introduced it once during the last trading assembly, you weren’t here last time, so naturally, you don’t know.”

“That Thunder Shock Shield, is also a decent Medium Grade Magical Treasure, and moreover, the shield is made of Thunder Wood, providing protection against the force of thunder, making it quite suitable for helping juniors to overcome their Tribulation.”

Upon hearing this, the young Cultivator who was new, instantly understood and said:

“I see…”

“However, the combined value of these three items is not low, trading them for a Nirvana Elixir shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

The person beside him disdained and said:

“Forget it…”

“Apart from that Shadow Escape Flying Boat, the others aren’t much to look at.”

“That Nirvana Flower seed seems precious, but a big piece is missing. Someone checked it last time; the inside of the seed has decayed, it can’t grow.”

“Furthermore, that Thunder Shock Shield is just a Medium Grade Magical Treasure, only useful for withstanding the Golden Core Tribulation, similarly not very valuable.”

“You could say, aside from the Shadow Escape Flying Boat, the other two items are just additions and can be completely disregarded.”

“So that’s how it is. Thank you, fellow Daoist, for clearing up my confusion…” the young man responded with a hand salute.

“It’s nothing…”

The Cultivator beside him waved his hand in dismissal.

……

At this moment, the black-clothed Cultivator above surveyed the crowd below.

Yet not a single person stood up.

Initially, Lin Jing had planned to use the Medium Grade Nirvana Elixir he had on hand to make the exchange.

If it were the Flying Boat or the Nirvana Flower seed, they would both be incredibly useful to him, not to mention the Magical Treasure Thunder Shock Shield.

But after listening to the conversation of those people just now, Lin Jing dismissed the idea.

Because doing so would draw too much attention to himself.

As a Golden Core early stage Cultivator, taking out a Nirvana Elixir to exchange for the Shadow Escape Flying Boat would undoubtedly raise suspicions.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Jing decided to wait and not approach him for a trade just yet.

Instead, he planned to find him for a private exchange after the man had left.

Time passed, and still, no one made a move.

The black-clothed Cultivator also coldly packed up all his belongings.

To the outcome, neither the black-clothed Cultivator nor the crowd below found it surprising.

After all, it was a Nirvana Elixir.

And all those participating in the trading assembly were Golden Core Cultivators, who typically wouldn’t trade their Nirvana Elixirs if they had them.

One Cultivator left the platform, and several others went up in succession.

Even the young Cultivator who was new took the stage.

Once on stage, he directly took out an unremarkable Flying Sword and a broken Spirit Plant root.

“I wish to use this Superior Grade Flying Sword and the rootstock of the Thousand Spirits Divine Leaf to exchange for two Pure Essence Enriching Elixirs.”

After speaking, he picked up the Flying Sword to show everyone:

“This Superior Grade Flying Sword, known as the Soaring Ancient Sword, was crafted by the Energy Refinement Master Lin Yue…”

…

…

Shortly after, he finished introducing the Soaring Ancient Sword, and then picked up the Thousand Spirits Divine Leaf rootstock to introduce it.

“This rootstock of the Thousand Spirits Divine Leaf, I wrested at the risk of my life from the maw of a Nascent Soul Demonic Beast… ”

“As everyone can see, the rootstock is incomplete, having been nibbled on by that Demonic Beast, and most of its medicinal efficacy has been lost.”

“Thus, I consider this rootstock of the Thousand Spirits Divine Leaf as an extra, paired with the Soaring Ancient Sword, to exchange for two Pure Essence Enriching Elixirs.”

No sooner had the young Cultivator finished speaking than people below immediately began to discuss it.

They were all talking about the Soaring Ancient Sword, but no one seemed interested in the Thousand Spirits Divine Leaf rootstock.

Time passed, and not a soul took the initiative to speak up.

Just when the young Cultivator thought no one would speak up and was preparing to step down,

Lin Jing, sitting in the very back corner, finally spoke up at this moment.

“That Soaring Ancient Sword, along with the remnant root of the Thousand Spirits Divine Leaf, I’ll take them…”

His words made all the Cultivators in the room turn their heads to look at him.

At hearing this, the young Cultivator on stage was overjoyed.

To confirm, he even asked specifically once more:

“Fellow Daoist, are you planning to use two Pure Essence Enriching Elixirs to exchange for my Soaring Ancient Sword and this remnant root of the Thousand Spirits Divine Leaf?”

Lin Jing then nodded and said:

“Yes…”
