Having procured three Millennium Jade Marrow Ganoderma, Zhou Chun became even more expectant about what might appear next at the trade meeting.
By now, his wealth was substantial, perhaps surpassing many Golden Core Stage Cultivators who chose not to sell their Dharma Treasures.
Yet, many of the precious items he possessed were of no immediate use to either him or the Zhou Family cultivators.
These unneeded items in his possession were like money in the bank, visible but incapable of actually improving his life.
If given the choice, he naturally wished to exchange them for things that were of immediate use to himself and the Zhou Family.
According to the rules, after Fairy Chen, it was the turn of the cultivators who had previously traded with Master Wu to showcase their treasures.
However, since those who had traded with Master Wu were mostly Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators, the quantity of treasures they exhibited was quite limited, mostly common millennium spiritual medicines or Dharma Treasure Spirit Materials.
Zhou Chun did not find what he needed among them.
After those few had completed their exchanges, it was Zhou Chun's turn to make a move.
Most of what Zhou Chun held were ill-gotten gains, not easily brought out into the open.
Fortunately, the spiritual medicines were all from Ancient Ruins and many cultivators had them.
Therefore, he was not stingy in taking some out for display.
Of course, to avoid attracting unwanted attention, he would still not reveal those excessively valuable and conspicuous items.
At that moment, he merely patted his Storage Pouch at his waist, and an array of items appeared before him, mainly consisting of millennium spirit herbs, Fourth-Grade Spiritual Wood, and a few pieces of Dharma Treasure Spirit Materials.
Then he spoke in a low voice, "I require a variety of things, a mix of millennium spiritual herbs such as Millennium Jade Core Grass, Millennium Spirit-Melding Grass, and any treasures that can help a Second Order Demon Beast ascend to the Third Order, or Dharma Treasure Spirit Materials like 'Yellow Dragon Stone'. I guarantee utmost satisfaction to those who trade with me!"
Not long after his words fell, he received several telepathic messages from people who had the Spiritual Objects he needed and were discussing a trade with him.
But at that moment, a telepathic message from a special individual also sounded in his ear, "I have a 'Mountain Soul Pearl'. If you can produce a millennium Treasure Medicine that excites me, I might consider trading it to you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun was greatly taken aback, his gaze inadvertently turning toward Tianzhi Hermit.
The sender of the telepathic message was none other than the initiator of the trade meeting.
And Tianzhi Hermit's words plunged Zhou Chun's heart into a quandary.
He definitely still had Millennium Treasure Medicine, but the problem was he had already made a trade with it to Fairy Chen.
If he were to produce another one now, it would be hard not to arouse suspicion about whether he had even more.
Let's not forget, Tianzhi Hermit was the initiator of this trade meeting. Others might not detect Zhou Chun's Cultivation Level and identity, but this person surely would.
It's possible that the other party might risk their reputation to make a move on him over the millennium Treasure Medicine.
Thus, even though he greatly desired the "Mountain Soul Pearl" mentioned by the other party, he could only reply with much regret, "I had only one millennium Treasure Medicine, which I've now traded to Fairy Chen. If you are willing to accept millennium spiritual herbs, I am willing to trade four millennium spirit herbs for the 'Mountain Soul Pearl'!"
Upon hearing his response, Tianzhi Hermit soon shook his head slightly and said, "Millennium spiritual herbs are of no use to me. Since you cannot produce millennium Treasure Medicine, let's pretend I never spoke."
And with that, the contact was cut.
However, Zhou Chun was not left empty-handed.
He successfully acquired two millennium spirit herbs he needed and also traded the Water Essence Jade Mother Spirit Material he had obtained from the Wasteland Territory for a piece of "Yellow Dragon Stone".
Regrettably, that piece of "Yellow Dragon Stone" wasn't large enough, being only about one-third the amount required for the Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation, far from meeting his needs.
Despite this, to have traded for the three objects he had sought, Zhou Chun felt deeply content.
As for the "Mountain Soul Pearl" in Tianzhi Hermit's hands, now that he knew the other party had such a treasure, he naturally could think of other ways to indirectly trade for it in the future.
During the subsequent trade meeting, Zhou Chun watched as one treasure after another was displayed by various cultivators, truly broadening his horizons.
He had not even heard of many items, while others were only known by name until he finally saw them in person.
Unfortunately, he did not encounter any more spiritual objects that were essential for him to have.
It wasn't that he looked down on those spiritual objects, but having already made several moves, he did not wish to show his wealth again for some spiritual objects that were not absolutely necessary.
In this way, the trade meeting continued for nearly six or seven two-hour periods until everyone had showcased their treasures.
Tianzhi Hermit promptly announced the end of the trade meeting without any delay, allowing the numerous attendees to leave the loft one by one, spaced out by half a two-hour period.
For cultivators who were at least at the Purple Mansion Phase, a half two-hour period buffer was enough to quickly disappear on the streets.
Like the others, Zhou Chun returned the cloak and mask to the Shopkeeper of Tianzhi Tower, promptly left the secluded street where Tianzhi Tower was located, and entered the busy streets of the Immortal City.
In Tianyuan Immortal City, although Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators were neither common as cabbages nor an unattainable presence, they were still not something everyday you'd encounter.
