Chapter 676: Crimson Essence Ganoderma
“True Immortal Tianjing is too polite, but I must admit I’m getting impatient. How about we start with me?” A brocade-robed cultivator sitting beside True Immortal Tianjing said with a faint smile.
“Hehe. Since you are so eager, then let’s have you start,” True Immortal Tianjing chuckled lightly and took a few steps back, genuinely inviting the brocade-robed cultivator to begin.
As for the rules of the exchange meeting, every cultivator present had experienced countless sessions before, so there was no need to explain them again.
“Hehe, since Brother Tianjing says so, I won’t be polite either,” the brocade-robed cultivator said, slightly startled, then stood up confidently. After making a slight salute to both sides, he lightly tapped the storage pouch under his robe with one hand.
A red light flashed, and a palm-sized wooden box appeared in his hand.
This wooden box was made from some unknown rare wood, completely emerald green, with flickering red flames shimmering across its surface. On the lid, gold and silver restriction talismans were crossed and pasted, giving the box an even more mysterious aura.
Seeing this, everyone’s eyes were drawn to the box, their expressions varied as they gazed at it.
These cultivators were all well-experienced and knowledgeable, so naturally, they understood that what was inside the box was no ordinary item. To see such a treasure right at the start of the exchange invigorated everyone’s spirits.
The brocade-robed cultivator’s eyes scanned the crowd from behind his mask, revealing a trace of pride. Then he lightly touched the two talismans, which drifted down as the lid of the box opened on its own.
At once, a fiery red object slowly floated up from the box—a bizarre spirit medicine enveloped in red mist.
The spirit medicine was only a few inches in size but glowed with a fiery red heat. Its surface was smooth and crystal-clear, with strands of red clouds swirling unpredictably around it, as if wrapped in immortal aura—a true immortal’s treasure!
Han Li stared in amazement when someone called out the name of the item.
“Crimson Essence Ganoderma! A three-thousand-year-old Crimson Essence Ganoderma! This spirit medicine only grows within molten earth flames and is impossible for ordinary people to even see, let alone obtain. You truly have great skills, fellow cultivator,” muttered a cultivator cloaked in black, sighing. It was unclear whether his tone was envy or jealousy.
“Crimson Essence Ganoderma? This is the red essence from the Ice and Fire Spirit Medicine. Its reputation is well justified. Just from the blazing fire spiritual energy it emits, you can tell it’s extraordinary,” other cultivators murmured excitedly. A few companions even whispered openly among themselves without restraint.
The brocade-robed cultivator, noticing the black-cloaked cultivator had correctly identified his treasure, showed a flicker of surprise in his eyes, but quickly returned to his usual calm and said:
“Since this fellow cultivator has recognized my item, I won’t say much more. One three-thousand-year Crimson Essence Ganoderma, the highest-grade fire attribute spirit pill refining material. Ten thousand spirit stones, or exchange for earth attribute refining materials of equivalent grade.”
“Ten thousand spirit stones?” Han Li paused at this price, then his eyes gleamed with interest.
It wasn’t that the price was too high, but rather it was far lower than he had expected.
In the Chaotic Star Sea, a single high-rank demonic beast core could cost over ten thousand spirit stones. And this rare spirit medicine was no less precious. Except for the “Nine-Twisted Spiritual Ginseng” he had already transformed, there was no other spirit medicine that could compare. This made Han Li’s heart race, stirring his intention.
Not counting other rare treasures, Han Li alone had tens of thousands of spirit stones—all pillaged from the storage pouches of cultivators defeated by him. Especially that heir of the six paths; his pouch contained two to three thousand mid-grade spirit stones, making Han Li’s windfall far greater than most nascent soul cultivators.
