Among them, the two fellow cultivators who obtained the demon core and leather armor happened to be cultivating on the island, and the one with the demon core hoped to exchange it for some fire attribute materials for refining magical treasures. What are you planning?"
Fatty Leiās probing was evident that he didnāt want to leave empty-handed,
and upon hearing this, Lin Changāan couldnāt help but frown.
"Fellow Daoist, I donāt have any fire attribute magical treasure materials. I intended to exchange this item."
Lin Changāan directly took out two demon cores emitting yin energy from his storage bag, making Fatty Leiās eyes widen instantly.
"Tier Three Lower Grade Yin Spirit Beast Kingās demon cores, and there are two of them!"
The Tier Three Lower Grade demon cores with Five Elements attributes are generally valued at fifty to sixty thousand middle grade spirit stones, while the yin attribute ones are around one hundred thousand.
And the Tier Three Middle Grade water attribute demon core is worth about one hundred and fifty thousand middle grade spirit stones.
Thus, these two are valuable enough.
"I wonder if itās possible to exchange with Mr. Lei?"
With a meaningful smile, Lin Changāan regarded Fatty Lei as an intermediary in the Immortal Cultivation Realm market.
Though he doesnāt own the trading goods, he acts as a broker between the buyer and seller with his extensive networking.
"Fellow Daoist, I do have some fire attribute materials, but not many. However, let me send a sound transmission. How about waiting for half an incense stickās time?"
Knowing the cautiousness required with such high-level spiritual objects, Fatty Lei rubbed his hands with a smiling face, and after Lin Changāan nodded, he directly took out a sound transmission talisman to contact someone else in front of him.
Lin Changāan nodded secretly upon hearing this. It was clear that Fatty Lei had skills to remain in his position for so many years.
Even though he only had fake pill cultivation, in terms of networking, he was unmatched; such people were naturally suited for this kind of business.
At this thought, Lin Changāan couldnāt help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that the Tier Three Green Crocodile Turtle materials sold to Fatty Lei back then also earned him quite a bit.
As for having swindled him before, he didnāt care at all.
The black market operates openly in this kind of business; getting swindled is just bad luck.
"Well, this fellow Daoist will come over soon."
Even though the exchange was happening right before his eyes, Lin Changāan remained vigilant.
Upon hearing that someone would arrive soon, he nodded secretly. If the other party were to delay, he would turn and leave immediately.
It wasnāt about being overly cautious; in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, carelessness would make one into resources on someone elseās cultivation path.
As for why he didnāt go to Five Dragons Island, sometimes the powers on the surface arenāt necessarily good.
Sometimes, if those above donāt follow the rules, they can be more ruthless than those below.
Moreover, previously on Five Dragons Island, he had already made it known that he sought Tier Three Middle Grade demon cores, and only the Long Family responded; no one else contacted him.
This he could understand; after all, in the Five Dragons Island Sea Region, every core formation cultivator, including fake pill cultivators, was either part of a family or serving under some power.
Pure loose cultivator core formation cultivators are rare, and Tier Three demon cores are extremely valuable resources, rarely used for transactions.
However, the situation is different in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea; there are many loose cultivators there, and even more cultivators who gamble with their lives, living day to day.
Without such burdens, they trade their goods promptly for the resources they need, unlike those large powers and families that accumulate resources for emergencies.
This is one of the main reasons for the black marketās prosperity.
...
After a cup of tea time, someone arrived at the shop; it turned out to be a gorgeously dressed and alluring female cultivator.
"Fatty Lei, is this the fellow Daoist with whom Iāll be trading?"
The alluring female cultivator smiled upon entering and looked at Lin Changāan.
Her presence made Lin Changāan cautious, suspecting that she wasnāt far from reaching the Core Formation Middle Stage.
Fatty Lei, seeing the two of them, introduced them to Lin Changāan with a cheerful grin, patting his belly as he laughed.
"Mr. Lin, this is Red Mushroom, commonly known as Red Third Lady."
"Ah, itās Fairy Red." Upon hearing her name, Lin Changāan realized and cupped his hands in greeting.
In the past, he had heard of Red Third Lady in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea; her reputation wasnāt bad, known for keeping her promises, and praised by cultivators who hunted demon beasts with her.
But no one dared underestimate her; being a female cultivator who has made a name for herself, she was definitely formidable.
"My surname is Tian." Lin Changāan hoarsely reported a name.
"So itās Mr. Tian."
Fatty Lei then cheerfully brought up the trade in front of the two of them.
"Ah, so you, Fatty Lei, also want a piece of the pie."
Red Third Lady raised her eyebrows, still smiling, but exuding a hint of danger.
Fatty Lei, still grinning, naturally wouldnāt let go of a profitable opportunity.
Red Third Lady needed fire attribute materials for magical treasures, and Fatty Lei had some but not many, while Lin Changāan had two yin attribute Tier Three Lower Grade demon cores.
The effect of yin attribute demon cores is broader; otherwise, in a place already abundant in yin spirits like the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, its value wouldnāt be higher than that of the Five Elements demon cores.
Expensive for a reason, of course.
Watching the scene, Lin Changāan didnāt mind how much Fatty Lei wanted to earn; he only wanted to obtain what he needed.
"Alright, letās see the materials first. If there are too few, it wonāt do."
Red Third Lady smiled, but her words maintained her bottom line.
"Three Lady, please have a look."
Fatty Lei patted his storage bag, and three different fire attribute materials appeared. Though not many, they added up to a lot.
Red Third Lady, after a glance, was visibly tempted but hesitated, then finally spoke:
