Lu Xuan followed behind Balli Jianqing, entering Qingya Courtyard.

Strange flowers and exotic plants were scattered around the courtyard, where two or three dozen cultivators gathered in groups, discussing something.

Lu Xuan and Baili Jianqing sat in a secluded corner of the courtyard. Here, Baili Jianqing proceeded to introduce the identities of the cultivators present.

“That cultivator at the Perfect Qi Training stage, who appears a bit feminine, has quite an impressive background. He is a descendant of a Core Formation Elder in the sect, his status is considerably high.”

Baili subtly pointed towards a young cultivator with a feminine appearance and temperament, communicating this to Lu Xuan silently.

“This one also has quite an extraordinary background. Her surname is Ye, and she is the cherished daughter of the city lord of the well-known Loose Cultivation City in the cultivation world.”

A beautiful young girl was encircled by young men and women as if she was a star surrounded by a constellation.

“That one is…”

Baili Jianqing was intimately familiar with the identities of the cultivators present, introducing each one to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan simply nodded, gently declining Baili’s suggestion to meet everyone. Baili didn’t insist, standing up to mingle, leaving Lu Xuan alone in the corner, enjoying spirit tea and spirit fruits.

As the number of cultivators in the courtyard increased, Lu Xuan, who was accustomed to solitude, found this scene somewhat unfamiliar. He sat in silence, finding solace in the tasty spirit fruits.

The cultivators gathered in groups, constantly sharing their cultivation experiences, engaging in lively debates, verbal jousting with each other.

The discussion became so heated that some even cleared a small area to spar and test out their formula methods.

Lu Xuan patiently waited. About half an hour later, the discussion quieted down, and a serene young woman stepped onto a redwood platform.

The young woman’s aura was as vast as the sea, evidently, she was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

After the young woman took the stage, the cultivators in the courtyard fell completely silent. You could hear a pin drop.

“Welcome to the Qingtan Association I organized. Among the fellow cultivators here, there are many regular attendees and some newcomers attending for the first time.”

I’ll briefly introduce the rules. After discussing cultivation experiences, we will proceed to the free item exchange session.”

“Everyone here can step onto the stage and present their items for exchange, introduce item details, and specify what they want in return.”

“If anyone is interested in the item that another fellow cultivator onstage is offering, and they happen to have what the person needs, they can make a direct exchange.”

“After that, there will be a session for free exchange and private discussions.”

“The only rule is that no one is allowed to force a purchase or sale. We need to maintain harmony among fellow cultivators.”

The serene young woman said these words with cool eyes and a firm tone.

Seeing no objections from the cultivators, her expression lightened up a bit.

She smiled faintly, like a lily blooming in a quiet valley.

“Let’s begin then.”

Just as her words ended, a cultivator at the Ninth Level of Qi Training leaped onto the stage.

“Dear fellow cultivators, let me set the ball rolling.”

The cultivator saluted with a fist and took out a spirit ore the size of a fist from his storage bag.

The surface of the ore was rugged and deep black. If you looked closely, you could see countless tiny gold spots hidden inside the ore, twinkling like stars, dazzlingly radiant.

“Falling Star Stone, a second-grade spirit ore that can be used to forge a flying sword. I want to exchange it for second-grade healing pills.”

This caused a stir among the audience. The Falling Star Stone in the hands of the cultivator was quite rare, and its large size attracted many cultivators.

Soon, there were cultivators inquiring about it. After a brief comparison, the cultivator on the stage picked one of them and exchanged his Falling Star Stone for second-grade healing pills.

Next, another cultivator stepped onto the platform and took out a second-grade flying sword artifact, hoping to exchange it for a second-grade talisman or elixir.

Those who dared to bring their items for exchange were naturally not ordinary ones. Most of the time, they could obtain the treasures they desired. Only a few did not receive an exchange because their demands were too high.

Lu Xuan noticed that the items used for exchange were mainly talismans, elixirs, and magic artifacts. There were also quite a few demon beast materials, spiritual medicines, and spirit ores. Yet, he had not found a cultivator who used spirit seeds as an exchange item.

He wasn’t too eager for talismans and elixirs, so he held back, observing carefully.

“A complete skeleton of a demon beast, originally a second-grade Barbarian Armored Bull, the skeleton is hard and hasn’t sustained any damage. It can be used to create defensive magic artifacts.”

“I want to exchange it for an elixir or spiritual medicine of the same rank that can resist the contamination of the demon envoy.”

An item before a middle-aged cultivator attracted Lu Xuan’s attention.

A massive green-black skeleton, about three feet long, half a foot tall, looked gruesome.

According to the middle-aged cultivator, the skeleton originally belonged to a second-grade Barbarian Armored Bull, known for its extraordinary defense power and was extremely suitable for forging defensive magic artifacts.

Although this skeleton was intact and large, when the cultivator wanted to exchange it for an elixir or spirit plant that could resist demon envoys, those who originally had some ideas immediately calmed down.

Such items are rare treasures, hard to come by regularly. If only used to exchange for a single skeleton, it might be considered uneconomical.

The scene was silent for a moment.

The middle-aged cultivator’s face displayed disappointment, just when he was about to pack up his giant skeleton and step down, a clear voice sounded.

“I have a leaf of a second-grade Clear Wonderful Spiritual Tea, of good quality. Senior brother, do you think it’s suitable?”

Lu Xuan stood up and asked.

He was attracted by the large size of this Barbarian Armored Bull skeleton at first glance.

Such a large material should last a long time for cultivating Thorn Bone.

“A piece of Clear Wonderful Spirit Tea?”

The middle-aged cultivator contemplated for a moment. Trading this

Barbarian Shell Cow skeleton for a piece of spirit tea seemed a bit uneconomical. But he urgently needed such spiritual medicine, and according to Lu Xuan, the tea leaf was of good quality. Therefore, without much thought, he agreed to the exchange.

“Okay.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan waited for the middle-aged cultivator to step down and met him. He exchanged a fingertip-sized piece of Clear Wonderful Spirit Tea for the giant skeleton in his hand.

“Luckily my storage bag is big enough, otherwise it would be awkward if this skeleton didn’t fit.”

Feeling the Barbarian Armored Bull skeleton occupying a large part of the storage bag, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but think.

After waiting for a while he stepped onto the wooden platform, took out the remaining fourteen pieces of Clear Wonderful Spirit Tea and Dark Marrow Mushroom from his storage bag, and spoke in a deep voice.

‘Clear Wonderful Spirit Tea leaves, fourteen in total. They are of good or superior quality and have the effect of clarifying the mind, they can resist the invasion of the demon envoy.”

“Dark Marrow Mushroom, a second-grade spirit medicine of good quality. It can be used to refine some body refinement elixirs, or it can be consumed directly to enhance the body.”

“Primarily intended to exchange with fellow practitioners for spirit seeds or spirit seed condensing methods.”

Lu Xuan spread his hands. On his left palm were fourteen tender green tea leaves, emitting a captivating aroma. The cultivators sitting near him could even directly smell it.

In his right hand, he held a dark red spirit mushroom. Blood-red channels were visible on the surface of the spiritual mushroom, and inside, one could vaguely see a sticky liquid flowing slowly.

“Superior quality Clear Wonderful Spirit Tea leaves! There are over ten pieces!”

“And the rare-to-see second-grade Dark Marrow Mushroom!”

The moment the spirit medicine appeared in Lu Xuan’s hands, it immediately caught the attention of everyone present..
