Xu Ping’s Divine Sense responded calmly: "Thank you for asking, senior, I am but a loose cultivator, who happened upon the legacy of predecessors, and have been figuring things out on my own. I have no fixed lineage."
This was the truth spoken by him, whether the other party believed it or not was none of his concern.
"Loose cultivator?"
The Celestial Secret Pavilion Master’s heart stirred slightly, naturally doubting this explanation, but seeing Xu Ping unwilling to disclose more, he did not insist. After all, which cultivator here didn’t have a few secrets?
He then smiled and said: "I see, little friend is truly fortunate, making one envious."
After a slight pause, as if suddenly recalling sothing, he continued:
"By the way, I happen to have in my possession, purely by chance, a ’Tai Xu Derivation Talisman Record’, a complete inheritance docunting the thods and insights for crafting several fifth-order talismans."
"Observing that little friend seems to have delved into the path of talismans as well, might you be interested?"
"Fifth-order talisman inheritance?" Xu Ping’s heart was moved.
The value of this thing to him could even surpass that of the Fragnted Star Iron.
If he could obtain this inheritance, he could truly craft fifth-order talismans.
Then, nurturing them using the Talisman Nourishnt Technique, their power would be beyond imagination.
Despite feeling deeply stirred, Xu Ping revealed nothing: "Senior’s kindness is appreciated, naturally I am interested, but may I ask what senior requires in exchange?"
The Celestial Secret Pavilion Master chuckled, his Divine Sense responding: "For this inheritance, I don’t need little friend to pay anything extra."
"Consider it forming a good bond, and making friends with little friend."
"Just hope that in future, if I need sothing and it’s within little friend’s capability, little friend might lend so assistance."
These words left Xu Ping silent.
This was an investnt in him, aid at his future potential.
This gesture of ’goodwill’ seed casual, but carried significant weight, akin to a future promise of favor.
After weighing it for a mont, Xu Ping slowly nodded, his Divine Sense responding: "Thank you for valuing , senior, I agree."
"If senior indeed has need in the future, and I am able to help, I will certainly not decline."
A vague future promise, exchanged for imdiate gain, was indeed a very worthwhile deal for him.
"Good, little friend is straightforward."
The Celestial Secret Pavilion Master smiled even more broadly, appearing very satisfied.
He imdiately swept his sleeve, causing the piece of "Fragnted Star Iron" and a cyan jade slip containing ’Tai Xu Derivation Talisman Record’ to fly towards Xu Ping like a streak of light.
Xu Ping also did not hesitate to produce a specially made jade box, within which were sealed three "Little Void Annihilation Divine Thunder Talismans" emitting a spiritual glow, sending them to the Celestial Secret Pavilion Master.
The transaction was complete.
Though the entire process was conducted via Divine Sense transmission, both sides intentionally or unintentionally masked their aura sowhat.
Yet the exchange of treasures and jade slips truly occurred in the open under the eyes of all.
Instantly, almost all Divinity Transformation Cultivators present redirected their attention towards Xu Ping and the Celestial Secret Pavilion Master!
Though they were unclear of the specific transaction details, they saw the Celestial Secret Pavilion Master handing over items, while the mysterious Nascent Soul cultivator also paid a price, with the two seeming to converse congenially.
Various speculations arose in the minds of all Divinity Transformation Cultivators, elevating Xu Ping’s status in their eyes even further.
This person not only possesses astonishing talent in combat, but his wealth also appears quite abundant.
...
The trading event continued, the atmosphere becoming lively once more.
One after another, Divinity Transformation Cultivators began displaying their treasures, be it rare treasures, uncommon spirit dicines, or ancient fragnted texts, prompting inquiries and Divine Sense transmissions back and forth.
Among them, there were indeed a few items that even Xu Ping found very tempting.
Like a Nine Aperture Nascent Soul Lotus that can refine the nascent soul and enhance the purity of mana, and a star core fragnt containing pure celestial essence, useful for cultivating celestial Divine Techniques or magical treasures.
But the asking price was extrely high, either requiring specific or massive quantities of quasi-fifth-order materials.
After careful consideration, Xu Ping could only reluctantly give them up, deeply aware that his own accumulation was insufficient compared to these old monsters living for millennia.
Finally, it was the turn of a dark-skinned, towering man with a breath like a quiescent volcano.
He spoke expressionlessly, his voice deep like grinding stone:
"I have brought an item."
With a sweep of his big hand, a humanoid puppet appeared on the platform, entirely dark-gold, standing several feet tall, with an ancient, streamlined design, seemingly crafted from so unknown tal.
The puppet’s eyes were closed, yet it naturally emitted a force as heavy as a mountain, invincibly sturdy.
"This is the Earth Guardian Puppet, a quasi-fifth-order defense puppet."
The dark-faced man’s words were concise, "Once activated, its defensive power is extrely strong, enough to withstand the attacks of early-stage Divinity Transformation Cultivators head-on, holding them off for a while."
"The energy core is intact, but each activation requires consuming a large amount of upper-grade spirit stones or Earth Attribute top-grade spirit crystals."
"Quasi-fifth-order defense puppet?"
"Black Soul, you actually are willing to trade this item?"
As soon as he spoke, a familiar Divinity Transformation Cultivator swiftly recognized the item.
Quasi-fifth-order puppets, with their difficulty in crafting and material requirents, are extrely high for Divinity Transformation Cultivators, virtually untouchable.
In the entire world, currently, only this individual can craft puppets of this level.
But even he spent hundreds of years to create just this one.
Other Divinity Transformation Cultivators also cast surprised glances.
A defense puppet capable of resisting Divinity Transformation attacks for a while is of imnse value, enough to provide huge benefits to them.
