Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

193: Poison Ivy and Treasure MapThree days passed in a blink of an eye, and Lin Shiming, as agreed, arrived at the main hall where the trade fair was held, wearing a spirit-isolating veil.

The trade fair was a place for bartering, similar to the Foundation Establishment gathering Lin Shiming attended at Duo Bao Tower in Qingxuan City. The entire hall was massive, and as he expected, most of the Cultivators participating wore spirit-isolating veils.

When Lin Shiming arrived, there were already thirty people seated in the hall.

Most of them had chosen seats far in the back.

After surveying the area, Lin Shiming also chose a seat in the back, quietly sat down, and then pondered the treasures he could use for exchange.

Cultivators continuously entered through the door, and after half an hour, the entire hall was almost full. As the appointed time arrived, people finally took their seats in the frontmost positions of the hall.

These were several Purple Mansion Cultivators.

However, Lin Shiming did not see any Purple Mansion Cultivators from Sects; they were all Old Ancestors from powerful Purple Mansion Families.

“Alright, everyone has arrived. This Daoist, Dao Guang, is the Elder behind the Treasure Pavilion. There are two reasons for holding this trade fair: first, with the Demon Sect at hand, everyone can exchange what they need to improve their strength and prevent invasion! Second, the Dao Comprehension Conference is approaching, and I believe there are some exceptionally talented individuals here. If you can exchange for some powerful Magic Treasures for combat, obtain a Dao Comprehension slot, you might comprehend Divine Abilities, and Purple Mansion might be within reach, adding another force to Zhao Country!”

“Alright, I won’t waste any more words. This trade fair will be conducted by bartering. Of course, if you cannot exchange for your desired treasures, you can also sell them for a price. Everything is based on the principle of voluntary participation!” As the time arrived, a brocade-robed Purple Mansion Cultivator stepped onto the stage.

“I will start the trade fair with a humble offering!”

“A fourth-tier Magic Treasure, the Azure Red Sword, for a defensive Magic Treasure, or precious fourth-tier metal Materials that can refine a defensive Magic Treasure. A fourth-tier Yao Beast Purple Cloud Leopard cub, for a fourth-tier defensive Magic Treasure or fourth-tier defensive Magic Treasure Materials. A third-tier High Grade Magical Artifact, the Bloodthirsty Poison Needle, a Sharp Weapon for sneak attacks, capable of easily piercing the spiritual shield of a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator, for fourth-tier defensive Materials! A third-tier High Grade barrier breaking pill, which can increase a Cultivator’s chance of Breakthrough the Late Foundation Establishment Stage Bottleneck by 30%, for fourth-tier defensive Materials...”

Daoist Dao Guang presented four treasures in a row, causing everyone in the hall to hold their breath.

Whether it was a Magic Treasure or a third-tier High Grade Magical Artifact, all of them stirred the hearts of the crowd.

Even Lin Shiming was moved, but he simply could not produce a fourth-tier defensive Magic Treasure, let alone the spiritual Materials for one.

The fourth-tier Purple Cloud Leopard was quickly purchased by a Purple Mansion Family from the Qingxuan Sect. To his surprise, both the third-tier High Grade Bloodthirsty Poison Needle and the third-tier High Grade barrier breaking pill were exchanged by a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator.

As soon as the exchange was completed, many Cultivators stared intently at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator.

As if they wanted to see the Cultivator’s face through the veil.

But it was clearly impossible. Unless the Cultivators present were fearless of Daoist Dao Guang and forcibly used their Divine Sense to probe the Cultivator, even if they succeeded, they would offend Daoist Dao Guang.

Daoist Dao Guang exchanged three items in a row, his face beaming with joy, and then stepped down, replaced by a new Purple Mansion Cultivator.

The Purple Mansion Cultivators were clearly all seeking to exchange for defensive Magic Treasures or fourth-tier defensive Spirit Talismans.

Lin Shiming also saw many previously unheard-of treasures, greatly broadening his knowledge.

After the Purple Mansion Cultivators finished, it was the Foundation Establishment Cultivators’ turn.

The first Foundation Establishment Cultivator to go on stage was a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator. He took out a Jade Slip and a bag of seeds.

Then he spoke calmly:

“I, Jia, have here the Wood Demon Enhancement Secret Method, plus third-tier High Grade Poison Flood Dragon Vine seeds. I only want to exchange them for a third-tier High Grade Escape Talisman! Or an equivalent amount of thousand-year spiritual milk!”

Lin Shiming had no idea that as soon as the Foundation Establishment Cultivator came on stage, the treasures he desired would appear.

Both the Wood Demon Enhancement Secret Method and the third-tier High Grade Poison Flood Dragon Vine seeds were things he needed at this moment.

The former could enhance the Wood Demon, allowing his Mingxin Tea Tree to Breakthrough to the third tier, while the latter could significantly improve his combat strength.

Regardless of whether he participated in the Nine Leaf Dao Comprehension Conference, these were excellent treasures to exchange for.

“Fellow Daoist Jia, I have Dragon Blood Grass, luring demon grass, a third-tier Medium Grade Tiangang Sword Formation, and a third-tier High Grade Magical Artifact Demon Binding Ring. I wonder if Fellow Daoist is interested?” Lin Shiming decisively sent a voice transmission to the Cultivator surnamed Jia.

Then he stepped forward, took out his Storage Pouch, and allowed the other party to probe it with his Divine Sense.

To Lin Shiming’s disappointment, the Cultivator surnamed Jia clearly shook his head and did not agree to the exchange.

Lin Shiming could only give up and wait for other Cultivators to see if he could exchange for them.

Until the very end, the Cultivator surnamed Jia did not succeed in the exchange.

And Lin Shiming’s expression was not very good.

This time, he not only saw the Wood Demon Enhancement Secret Method but also the Poison Flood Dragon Vine seeds, yet he could not exchange for them.

The trade fair continued, and Lin Shiming still did not find any third-tier spiritual vine seeds or the Wood Demon Enhancement Secret Method.

However, at this moment, a Yellow-robed Cultivator suddenly took out three treasures. One of them, Lin Shiming was exceptionally familiar with: a treasure map. He still had two such treasure maps in his Storage Pouch.

“One map of the ancient medicine garden in the Qingxuan Secret Realm, and one third-tier High Grade Wind Escape Talisman! Both are only for body-tempering spiritual Materials, or body-tempering Spirit Pills!”

Lin Shiming heard the origin of the treasure map for the first time, but he was somewhat skeptical. With so many copies of the treasure map, and it being brought out like this, it might still be a trap.

However, to his surprise, the treasure map was exchanged by a Purple Mansion Cultivator, which led many Cultivators to discuss it with great relish.

And what surprised him even more was that the Cultivator surnamed Jia actually contacted him proactively:

“Fellow Daoist Lin, I wonder if your Dragon Blood Grass is still available for exchange?”

“Fellow Daoist Jia is quite calculating!” Lin Daoist was naturally Lin Shiming’s alias, but it was clear that this Fellow Daoist Jia, unable to exchange for the third-tier High Grade Wind Escape Talisman, wanted to exchange for his Dragon Blood Grass and then use it to exchange for the Wind Escape Talisman.

How could he give the other party a good look!

“At this critical time of war, please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Lin!” The Cultivator surnamed Jia continued to transmit his voice, with some helplessness in his tone.

“I can exchange it, but for my five Dragon Blood Grasses, besides exchanging for your Poison Flood Dragon Vine seeds, I, Lin, will also use the Demon Binding Ring to exchange for your Wood Demon Enhancement Secret Method!” Lin Shiming spoke again, and the Cultivator surnamed Jia hesitated for a moment but finally agreed.

Lin Shiming finally exchanged for the Poison Flood Dragon Vine seeds and the Wood Demon Enhancement Secret Method. However, although it was called a secret method, it was actually just a type of third-tier spiritual liquid, similar to a Pill Formula, but it could only raise a Wood Demon to the third tier, far inferior to his Bloodline Ancestral Return Secret Method.

Nevertheless, the enhancement of the Wood Demon was indeed necessary at the moment.

And when Lin Shiming went on stage, he also took out the Tiangang Sword Formation, but no one exchanged for it, so Lin Shiming simply stepped down.

He had already exchanged for the things he wanted.

The trade fair quickly ended, and as soon as Lin Shiming exited the trade hall, he received a voice transmission from Lin Xianzhi.

It turned out that Daoist Zi Xuan Sanren had also arrived in Nine Leaf City.
