Chapter 990: Chapter 958: Five Elements Immortal Essence

"Profound Fire Reishi."

Upon seeing the appearance of the Profound Fire Reishi, many of the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators present were greatly intrigued.

This kind of spirit medicine is extremely hard to come by in the market, often being priceless and unattainable.

There are two known methods to obtain it.

One is to purchase it from the Immortal Palace.

Due to the Profound Fire Reishi’s extremely demanding environmental requirements, it must be nurtured with a Tier Four Fire Vein and absorbed with Sunrise Purple Qi to grow, needing at least a hundred years to mature.

Of course, cultivators have methods to accelerate the growth of Profound Fire Reishi, greatly shortening the growth period.

Nevertheless, in the entire Central Ancestral Realm, the Immortal Palace is currently the only known producer of Profound Fire Reishi.

The Immortal Palace is famed throughout the Central Ancestral Realm for its abundant production of Profound Fire Reishi, attracting the favor of high-tier alchemists and Nascent Soul cultivators from major sects.

As for the second method, it involves venturing deep into the Taiyan Mountain Range to obtain wild Profound Fire Reishi.

The Taiyan Mountain Range, a sacred land for the Demon Race, is a paradise for demon beasts, occupied by numerous Divinity Transformation stage Demon Saints and Nascent Soul Demon Emperors.

The Profound Fire Reishi grows deep within the Taiyan Mountain Range, and ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators dare not risk their lives to retrieve it.

Thus, it becomes extremely difficult to obtain even a single Reishi.

The middle-aged man, Xu Changzhi, also had a bright look in his eyes as he received the wooden box to inspect, revealing a pleased expression after confirming the quality of the Profound Fire Reishi.

"This item is good; I’ll exchange it with you."

Xu Changzhi, satisfied, took the Profound Fire Reishi and stepped off the stage.

Following this successful trade, several more individuals stepped onto the stage to present their idle treasures, which were magical treasures and elixirs of sorts, for trade.

If there was a lack of value of a few thousand spirit stones, they would spend spirit stones to balance the difference.

In this manner, six trades were quickly completed.

One of the participants failed to exchange their treasure for the desired item and could only sigh and step off the stage.

However, the majority still managed to trade for their cherished treasure, satisfying their needs through successful exchanges.

Lu Ping watched with interest, not making any moves, with a clear goal of awaiting the appearance of the Five Elements Immortal Essence.

Soon, as Bailing Fairy took the stage, she raised her delicate hand, revealing a multicolored mineral to the audience with a slight smile.

"A piece of Five Elements Immortal Essence, my dear self wishes to exchange it for a Spirit Mirror magical treasure. Is there anyone who possesses such an item?"

"Five Elements Immortal Essence!"

Upon seeing Bailing Fairy reveal the Five Elements Immortal Essence, both Lu Ping and Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s clone were instantly drawn.

Simultaneously, others around were surprised to see such a rare treasure here.

They naturally understood its uses and value.

Immediately, someone spoke up.

"I have a Cyan Condensing Mirror, a Tier Five Middle Grade Wood Element Spiritual Artifact. Is the Fairy interested?"

That person was a middle-aged woman dressed in a sect’s robe, hailing from the Heaven Mending Saint Realm, and serving as an Inner Sect Elder named Liiu Wanru.

"Cyan Condensing Mirror, the type is suitable, but the tier is somewhat low. It would be best if it were a Tier Six artifact."

Bailing Fairy gently shook her head while showcasing the Five Elements Immortal Essence.

"I won’t elaborate on this treasure’s value, as all Daoists here likely understand. I desire a Spirit Mirror magical artifact of Tier Six, with no attribute restrictions."

Tier Six artifacts, especially Spirit Mirror types.

Many in the audience exchanged glances, displaying helpless expressions.

Liiu Wanru, hearing this, could only put away the Cyan Condensing Mirror.

"Fairy, would a non-Spirit Mirror type Tier Six artifact suffice?"

Someone couldn’t help but ask.

"Only a Spirit Mirror magical artifact will do; it has great usage for me, while other artifact types aren’t suitable for now."

Bailing Fairy replied earnestly.

Generally speaking, Tier Six artifacts are used by Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs and have the potential to become Lifebound Spiritual Treasures.

Magical artifacts, magical treasures, and spiritual treasures increase in power from low to high tiers.

Lifebound magical treasures and Lifebound spiritual treasures are types of magical treasures enhanced continuously by Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation stage cultivators using their own magical power, growing stronger with increased cultivation strength.

Once these words were spoken, many present stopped, finding themselves unable to present a Tier Six Spirit Mirror.

Tier Six artifacts are expensive treasures, and having two or three is already fortunate, making them reluctant to exchange.

Though the Five Elements Immortal Essence is excellent, it is primarily used for advancing to the Divinity Transformation stage.

It requires other heavenly treasures for use, as using just this alone has limited effects.

As a result, for a while, no one spoke up.

Sensing no one willing to trade, Bailing Fairy’s face revealed a slight sigh.

At this moment, some cultivators’ gazes turned toward Lu Ping.

Lu Ping’s search for Five Elements Immortal Essence in Celestial Star City had spread, becoming no secret.

Half of the cultivators participating in this Trade Conference were aware.

Now, with the appearance of the Five Elements Immortal Essence, they were curious whether Lu Ping was well-prepared and had a Tier Six Spirit Mirror magical artifact.

Noticing the surrounding attention, Lu Ping remained calm, looking at Bailing Fairy and finally spoke.

"Daoist might as well take a look at my magical treasure."

With these words, Lu Ping retrieved a golden mirror, gently waved his sleeve, and let it float onto the stage, hovering before Bailing Fairy.

The item was the Vast Heaven Mirror, capturing everyone’s attention upon appearing.

"A genuine Tier Six Spirit Mirror."

Xu Changzhi’s expression grew serious.

"Hm?" Bailing Fairy’s eyes gleamed with interest as she immediately accepted the Vast Heaven Mirror, closely examining it.

This mirror was acquired by Lu Ping from the Thorn Demon Ape King and was indeed a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure.

In terms of tier and type, it met Bailing Fairy’s requirements.

Confirming the Vast Heaven Mirror’s tier, Bailing Fairy’s face lit up with joy and anticipation as she looked at Lu Ping.

"Lu Daoist, this suits my needs well. I can trade with you."

"Certainly."

This trade concluded successfully.

Lu Ping exchanged the Vast Heaven Mirror for a piece of Five Elements Immortal Essence.

The quality and size of this piece were sufficient for needs to breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation stage.

Having obtained the desired treasure, Lu Ping primarily observed the ongoing Trade Conference.

Other cultivators presented items for exchange, including the most common magical artifacts, elixirs, arrays, along with a few treasure map fragments and spirit beast cubs.

Lu Ping had a desire to exchange for one or two among them, but the conditions offered were unmet by his own treasures.

It must be said, there are indeed many strong individuals in the Central Ancestral Realm.

Just from this Trade Conference, Lu Ping realized that his own treasures were rather scarce.

As for the surrounding Daoists, despite some having cultivation lower than his, their wealth was substantial.

For instance, Bailing Fairy, after trading with Lu Ping, exchanged with another Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch to obtain a Tier Five Heaven and Earth Jade Marrow Leaf for a Tier Five Spirit Beast Water Jade Celestial Horse.

The Water Jade Celestial Horse, a spirit beast of great interest to Lu Ping.

Unfortunately, there was only one cub, which Bailing Fairy exchanged for first.
