Chapter 582

After putting away the peach wood, He He Pingsheng quickly turned to the stone tablet!

Good, the 【Redfire Loquat】 was still there.

"May I ask which fellow cultivator or elder owns the Redfire Loquat? I wish to trade!"

He He Pingsheng's voice was not loud, but ensured everyone could hear.

At this moment, the hall was filled with voices haggling over prices, a constant hum.

A middle-aged male cultivator said: "It's mine!"

He He Pingsheng glanced at his cultivation base—both were Nascent Soul, but this man was at Nascent Soul Tier 10, two tiers lower than He He Pingsheng.

Upon hearing He He Pingsheng's call, he actually walked over to him.

"What do you want?" He He Pingsheng asked.

Because he had not seen any requested item written on the man's array.

The male cultivator thought for a moment and said: "I have no specific need—I'm open to your offer…"

Fine, the initiative was in his hands.

He He Pingsheng considered and said: "A supreme-grade 【Spirit-Breaking Pill】?"

The male cultivator smiled: "Sorry, I already have Spirit-Breaking Pills… and I've also acquired the heavenly treasures needed to break through my bottleneck!"

"I don't greatly need these."

He He Pingsheng nodded.

This man must be from a powerful clan.

He He Pingsheng looked at himself and realized the only thing he could offer was Tian Song Xuan Huang Dew.

So he explained its function.

The man immediately became interested: "Alright… this works. I didn't notice you had this item earlier… hehe…"

"How much do you have?" he asked He He Pingsheng.

He He Pingsheng did not answer, but countered: "How many Redfire Loquats do you have?"

The male cultivator said: "Eight in total!"

As he spoke, he pulled out one for He He Pingsheng to see.

This loquat was large, about the size of a palm, entirely crimson, with faint golden patterns on its surface.

A Tier Five heavenly treasure could already condense mist, and within a few breaths in He He Pingsheng's hand, it formed a faint aura.

Clearly extraordinary.

"Your Redfire Loquat is a Tier Five heavenly material, but my Tian Song Xuan Huang Dew is supreme-grade Tier Four… you can swallow ten drops at once—each drop activates sequentially during battle!"

"It's equivalent to expanding your dantian tenfold for a short time!"

"So, one loquat, ten drops."

"What do you say, fellow cultivator?"

As he spoke, He He Pingsheng also pulled out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to the cultivator.

Inside the bottle were ten drops of Tian Song Xuan Huang Dew.

The cultivator opened the bottle, sniffed, and his expression changed slightly: "Indeed extraordinary—your words are true!"

"Alright… I agree. I'll give you all eight loquats!"

For a Nascent Soul cultivator, this could save his life in a critical moment!

After the exchange was complete, He He Pingsheng immediately put the loquats away.

Eight loquats, later strengthened into sixteen, could be used to brew Ice Jade Loquat Paste.

Now came the waiting.

Because the screen no longer displayed any items he needed.

He He Pingsheng also withdrew his listed items: 【Shape-Shifting Pill】, 【Spirit-Breaking Pill】, and 【Tian Song Xuan Huang Dew】.

He kept only one request: 【Tier Six Talisman】.

One by one, people on the stone tablet removed their postings.

The remaining listings grew fewer and fewer.

Moreover, many had already left the venue, preparing to join the next trade session!

Each entry into the venue required payment of one hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

High-level cultivators didn't care.

He He Pingsheng did not leave!

As the number of listings on the stone tablet's array dwindled, his request became increasingly conspicuous.

Finally, a female Void Refinement cultivator spoke coolly: "I happen to have a Tier Six Talisman."

"Which junior needs this?"

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the dozen or so cultivators still remaining in the venue.

He He Pingsheng immediately stood: "Greetings, elder—I am the one who needs the Tier Six Talisman!"

"Oh?" the woman smiled. "You're merely Nascent Soul. Even if I gave you this Tier Six Talisman, you couldn't activate it—what use is it?"

He He Pingsheng bowed respectfully, his posture flawless: "I am about to enter Soul Transformation. Once I reach that realm, I'll be able to activate it. With even one Tier Six Talisman, I'll gain more offensive and defensive options!"

"Hmm, fair enough," the woman nodded. "But even when you reach Soul Transformation, activating this Talisman will still take at least three to five breaths—think carefully."

"Enough. It's your affair—I won't interfere."

"But… what do you have that can trade for my Talisman?"

As she spoke, her jade hand flipped, and a black Talisman appeared before her.

The Talisman resembled a jade plaque, shimmering with intricate black arcane patterns.

"This Talisman is called 【Immortal Ghost Talisman】, a low-grade one. When activated, it summons a Void Refinement-level yin ghost to fight for you!"

"But this ghost has only Void Refinement Tier One cultivation."

"For me, this Talisman is useless—hardly worth using."

"But for Soul Transformation cultivators, it's perfect."

"Your turn…" the woman gestured toward He He Pingsheng with her chin.

He He Pingsheng hesitated.

He had many Tier Five treasures, but they weren't sufficient.

Because the value of a Tier Six Talisman was extremely high.

Whether 【Shape-Shifting Pill】, 【Spirit-Breaking Pill】, or others—they were useless to Void Refinement cultivators.

He even had several Dao Rule primordial sources on him.

But even those might not impress her.

He thought for five full breaths.

The woman didn't rush—she simply smiled at him.

He He Pingsheng gritted his teeth and pulled out a jade seal: "Elder… I have an ancient treasure here… but its value far exceeds your Talisman!"

"You'll need to compensate me further!"

He tossed the seal onto the woman's lap.

This seal was a supreme-grade ancient treasure, bearing twenty layers of sealing arrays, named 【Thick Earth Shaking Mountain Seal】.

He had replicated and enhanced it back in the cultivation world using the Great Qi Empire's imperial seal.

Its offensive power was weak, but its defense was strong.

Yet even its defense couldn't match the divine turtle shadow in his hand.

So he'd never had a chance to use it.

Now, it was perfect for trading.

"An ancient treasure?" the woman picked it up, examined it, and said: "We Void Refinement cultivators usually use spirit treasures."

"Ancient treasures are a step below."

"But your ancient treasure has twenty sealing layers—it's supreme-grade."

"Not bad."

"I wouldn't be embarrassed carrying it."

Ancient treasures were prestigious in the cultivation world, but in the Spirit Realm, they were merely ordinary.

After all, ancient treasures were theoretically meant for Soul Transformation cultivators, while Void Refinement cultivators typically used spirit treasures.

But spirit treasures were exceedingly rare—even many Void Refinement cultivators couldn't obtain one, so it was common for them to use ancient treasures instead.
