Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1980 Exchange Meeting (Part Two)
Chapter 1981

"I ask for nothing else but one primordial treasure. Regardless of its type, as long as it is intact, I am willing to offer this Immortal Spirit Well to you immediately!"

Liu Qinghuan: ...

Is this what you call not seeking anything else?

He still wants that primordial treasure!
He has cultivated for ten thousand years, traversed all the secret realms and dangerous places, ventured through the Great Wilderness Ancient Realm, entered the Nine Heavens Demon Realm, and experienced countless life-and-death situations. To date, he has only accumulated two primordial treasures.

These primordial treasures each possess immense power, reaching to the heavens and the earth. They are extremely rare in the mortal realm, far surpassing even a single immortal well.

Even a dual-attribute Immortal Spirit Well is far from enough.

"Fellow Daoist, this price is too high."

Liu Qinghuan shook her head, her tone calm yet undeniably firm.

Seeing him turn to leave, the cultivator surnamed Qu became anxious: "Wait!"

Liu Qinghuan turned to look at him.

Then the other party gritted his teeth and said with a hint of provocation, "Fellow Daoist Taiwei, as a dignified Daoist leader, can you not even produce a single primordial treasure?"

Liu Qinghuan's face darkened.

"What, you want to force me to buy or sell?"

Seeing his firm attitude, the cultivator surnamed Qu also changed color slightly, and quickly forced a smile, saying, "No, no, no, fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand, it's really, it's really..."

"How about this, we can all compromise. If you're unwilling to exchange it for a primordial treasure, you can use a Celestial Jade instead."

Liu Qinghuan's expression softened slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "How much?"

"Two thousand yuan!"

Liu Qinghuan laughed in exasperation: "Two thousand Immortal Jade is enough to buy a Primordial Treasure. Fellow Daoist, you've got a good plan!"

Just then, an indignant voice suddenly came from behind: "That's right!"

Liu Qinghuan turned her head and saw a dark-skinned male cultivator with a black mole the size of a soybean on his chin staring disdainfully at the cultivator surnamed Qu. He was the same person who had bargained with him earlier.

“Fellow Daoist Taiwei, he has no intention of exchanging anything sincerely. Two thousand high-grade immortal jades? That’s outrageous! He’s just trying to raise the price on the spot!”

This price could buy two or three ordinary immortal spirit wells outside; his is merely a dual-attribute well, hardly worth such an astronomical price!

Being publicly humiliated, the cultivator surnamed Qu instantly became enraged, his face turning bright red. He stepped forward, pointed at the other person's nose, and shouted:
"Yellow Pockmarked guy, if you can't afford it, don't spout nonsense and deliberately cause trouble! Do you think everyone is a penniless wretch like you? Two thousand immortal jades for a top-grade dual-attribute immortal spirit well, where's the high price? You clearly can't stand to see me make a deal!"

"Me, causing trouble? You, surnamed Qu, are the one who's asking for an exorbitant price, and you still have the nerve to criticize me?"

The cultivator known as Yellow Pockmarked wasn't about to back down either, sneering, "Also, my Daoist name is Lingxu, so show some respect!"

Having said that, he ignored the cultivator surnamed Qu and said to Liu Qinghuan, "Fellow Daoist Taiwei, although the Immortal Spirit Well is hard to find, he's not the only one in the world who has it. Why don't we..."

"Yellow Pockmarked fellow!" The cultivator surnamed Qu interrupted him through gritted teeth, "Are you deliberately asking for a beating? Are you trying to ruin my plans!"

"You surnamed Qu, you're the one who started this unreasonable demanding behavior!"

The two were spitting as they spoke, completely abandoning their usual superior cultivator demeanor, and it looked like they were about to start a fight.

Liu Qinghuan quickly stepped aside to avoid being caught in the crossfire, but couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Are these two acting out his role?
There's no need to argue so heatedly, losing all composure.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw the two men look over at him, and the cultivator surnamed Qu called out, "Fellow Daoist..."

Just then, three clear, melodious sounds rang out, penetrating the hustle and bustle of the entire island and causing everyone to turn their heads to look.

Master Jing Shu led one person through the crowd, calling out loudly, "Fellow Daoists, all those invited today have arrived. The exchange meeting is about to officially begin. Please take your seats!"

Liu Qinghuan raised an eyebrow and looked at the person next to Jing Shu.

This was the second time in recent days that he had seen his opponent, Xuan Yin Shangren, the leader of the Nine Nether Immortal Alliance, whom he would be fighting in a few days.

Even when walking in a crowd, the other person seems to be standing on a cliff, gloomy and aloof, making people unconsciously want to stay far away from them.

Sensing their gaze, the other person turned around. Their eyes met for a fleeting moment, and everything around them seemed to vanish. An invisible restlessness, like a hibernating snake disturbed, quietly revealed its fangs.

The two cultivators surnamed Qu, who were standing not far from Liu Qinghuan, felt a chill run down their spines and shivered involuntarily.

"Huh? What happened...?"

"Shh!"

Just as the others were about to sense something was wrong, Xuan Yin suddenly raised the corners of his lips, revealing what he thought was a gentle smile, and nodded to Liu Qinghuan.

At that moment, Li Shan also arrived, blocking the view between the two sides.

"Brother Liu, come and sit here."

Liu Qinghuan did as instructed and sat down cross-legged at a small table.

Li Shan turned slightly to the side and lowered his voice, saying, "That guy looks like he's about to go crazy, so how did you get into such big trouble?"

He also really wanted to know...

"Perhaps he's burdened by his fame," Liu Qinghuan said expressionlessly.

Since participating in the sect conference, his biggest feeling has been that his title of Dao Kui is heavier than ever before.

Everyone looked at him—respectfully, worshipfully, with dark, bloodthirsty glints…

While the title of Dao Kui brings him unparalleled glory, many others want to pull him down from his pedestal, push him into the abyss, and watch him be shattered to pieces.

Unfortunately, those people are destined to be disappointed!

Liu Qinghuan concealed the murderous intent in her eyes and shifted her attention to what was in front of her.

There were about twenty Mahayana cultivators present, sitting around the stove, listening to each other.

Jing Shu stood in the middle and said, "Fellow Daoists, you are all leading figures from top sects in your respective realms. I'm sure you all know the rules of the exchange meeting, so I won't go into details."

One point to note: the exchange is based on the premise of mutual consent. The value of the treasures is determined by the parties themselves. Neither I nor my sect will be responsible for any errors, omissions, or misjudgments.

Furthermore, once the transaction is successful, there is no room for reneging on the deal, and certainly no physical violence. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed by everyone. Does anyone have any objections?

"No."

"I know, Lao Zhu, stop talking nonsense."

"Yes, yes, hurry up and get down, let's begin!"

Jing Shu laughed helplessly as he was shoved off. The next moment, a cultivator couldn't wait to get up and quickly walked to the round table in the center of the room, where he laid out three items to exchange.

"The Emerald Jade Pot, a chaotic magic treasure, produces a drop of jade milk every day, which can cleanse the marrow and reshape the foundation of one's Dao. It has a strong healing effect on all kinds of injuries, even severe injuries caused by heavenly tribulations."

"The Star-Shattering Ring, as its name suggests, is an extremely powerful offensive magic weapon. It can instantly transform into thousands of star blades, or it can be thrown out, shattering stars and breaking through boundaries in an instant!"

"The Boundary Sealing Stone Tablet is an extremely rare defensive treasure. It can create barriers and lock the airspace, making it very suitable for protecting important locations within a sect. Of course, it can also trap enemies in one place, preventing them from escaping."

After he finished his detailed introduction of his three magical treasures, he looked around at everyone and said, "Fellow Daoists, if you are interested in any of these magical treasures, please tell me and I will demonstrate them in detail one by one."

However, let me make this clear beforehand: I will only exchange the above-mentioned magical treasures for supreme treasures or immortal jade of the same or higher rank; spirit stones will not be accepted!

Liu Qinghuan was slightly shocked. He hadn't expected these people to bring out such a valuable treasure right from the start. It seemed this trip would be worthwhile.

However, after looking at the three treasures, he was only slightly interested in the boundary-sealing stone tablet.

Before he could even ask, someone else had already inquired, and after learning the details, he quickly abandoned the idea.

The boundary-sealing stone tablet has both prominent advantages and disadvantages. It has strong defensive capabilities, but not to the extent that he is satisfied with, and its defensive range is also somewhat small.

Of course, the main reason is that the person was asking for too much money; it wasn't worth it.

He realized that while the items brought out at this exchange were indeed rare treasures, everyone was also asking for exorbitant prices and then haggling over them, depending on their negotiation skills.

A glint flashed in Liu Qinghuan's eyes, and a plan came to mind.
