"Manager Lin has arrived."
Gao Changshou saw Lin Xiaofei arrive on a beast at the entrance of the pavilion, and hurriedly went forward to greet him before entering the pavilion hall together.
Upon entering the hall, everyone stood up and greeted each other.
After Ye Lingyun's prior introduction, they all knew that Lin Xiaofei was not only a second-grade high-level spirit plant master in the Spirit Plant Valley, but also a Foundation Establishment cultivator. This surprised them all. In addition, they were all interested in Lin Xiaofei's blood ginseng, so they became enthusiastic.
At this moment, there were ten Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the main hall of the pavilion, as well as more than thirty juniors and Qi Refining stage cultivators who had come with them.
"Young friend Lin, this is Ma Qiankun, a second-grade spirit beast master."
Ye Lingyun stood up, went to Lin Xiaofei's side, and introduced the group of people to him.
Lin Xiaofei quickly greeted them all. These people were all high-ranking figures in Bai Xuefeng, and he might have to deal with them again in the future, so he got to know them one by one.
Lin Xiaofei chatted briefly.
"This is Ding Dahua, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, and his son, Ding Shupeng."
Steward Ding is in charge of many treasures in our Baixuefeng Internal Affairs Pavilion, including precious spiritual plants, magical artifacts, and spiritual weapons.
"Young friend Lin, if you wish to exchange for something valuable, today is a perfect opportunity."
Knowing that Lin Xiaofei wanted to exchange for some treasures, Ye Lingyun pulled Lin Xiaofei to an old man and introduced him with a smile.
"Haha, Elder Ye, you really know how to pick your timing."
Ding Dahua laughed heartily and then said:
I do indeed have some treasures.
However, recently, many people have exchanged some treasures from me, and now I only have a few mid-grade spiritual artifacts and some precious ice crystals and other minerals left.
Manager Lin is a high-level second-grade spirit plant master. If you want to exchange for spirit plants that are over a hundred years old, I don't have any at the moment.
On the contrary, Elder Ye said that Steward Lin has five hundred-year-old blood ginseng roots, while my son has collected a set of spiritual materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, but is missing a hundred-year-old blood ginseng.
"We hope to exchange a blood ginseng root with Steward Lin."
"Exchanging blood ginseng roots is a no-brainer."
Nodding, Lin Xiaofei said with a smile:
Not long ago, I just entered the early stage of Foundation Establishment. The top-level magic weapon in my hand, although still usable at my level, always felt that its power was somewhat diminished.
Therefore, I would like to exchange a sword-type spiritual weapon with Steward Ding. Does Steward Ding have any?
"I do have a few sword-type spiritual weapons here, all of which are of mid-to-high grade. If Steward Lin wants one, he can come to my place and choose one."
Ding Dahua said with a smile.
"I want a top-grade spiritual weapon longsword. I hope Steward Ding can help me. Since you only have mid-grade spiritual weapons here, I can wait a little longer."
As he spoke, Lin Xiaofei reached into the spatial bead, took out a blood ginseng root, and handed it over, saying, "
This is a 500-year-old blood ginseng root. I'll give it to Steward Ding first. If you have any top-tier flying swords or magical artifacts, I hope you'll keep an eye out for them for me.
As for the price, we'll do it your way.
The last time Lin Xiaofei fought Zhou Feilong, he used the top-tier magic weapon, the Green Vine Sword. He found that the Green Vine Sword was too weak to kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator like Zhou Feilong.
Moreover, for Foundation Establishment cultivators, as long as they are slightly wealthy, they will use spiritual artifacts.
However, Lin Xiaofei knew that while ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators would typically use low-grade spiritual artifacts, he was different.
Because he can consume the spiritual plants within the spatial bead to accelerate his cultivation, his own realm will improve rapidly. If he uses a low-grade spiritual weapon, it will probably be long before he has to replace it with a high-grade one.
Therefore, it would be better to directly exchange for the top-tier magical artifacts.
As for the price, he knew that top-tier spiritual artifacts were expensive, but he didn't care about that, after all, he was about to earn a large sum of spirit stones.
“Alright, then I will keep an eye out for Steward Lin. If I find any top-tier spiritual weapon flying swords here, I will send someone to inform Steward Lin.”
Ding Dahua took the blood ginseng rootlets with a smile and quickly agreed to Lin Xiaofei's request.
Next, Lin Xiaofei made transactions with several other Foundation Establishment cultivators, got to know them, and also interacted with the younger generation, Fang Guilong, and Su Hongyan.
Originally, he was selling six blood ginseng roots, but because he had made a deal with Ding Dahua first, he suddenly had five blood ginseng roots left. This immediately made the remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators feel a little nervous, and they all quickly made their offers.
The first blood ginseng root was traded for 38,000 low-grade spirit stones, the second for 40,000, and the last one was bought for 48,000 low-grade spirit stones in a single transaction.
Lin Xiaofei was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that before he could even make a price, several Foundation Establishment cultivators would automatically start offering prices and vying to make the deal.
Since the other party took the initiative to offer a deal, he was extremely happy to accept.
Soon, all six century-old blood ginseng roots were traded, and everything went extremely smoothly.
"Except for the blood ginseng root that Ding Dahua did not hand over, the remaining five blood ginseng roots were traded for a total of 230,000 low-grade spirit stones."
After receiving their respective items, they all left. Lin Xiaofei counted the spirit stones he had collected, looking very happy.
Two hundred and thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones—this was the first time he had ever earned so many spirit stones. For any early Foundation Establishment cultivator, this was a huge sum of money, making him extremely happy.
"This time, it's all thanks to my early entry into the Foundation Establishment stage; otherwise, I would have refined this blood ginseng into a Foundation Establishment pill."
Therefore, it would be impossible to earn 230,000 low-grade spirit stones.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaofei's lips curled up, and he was overjoyed.
Without hesitation, he planned to go to the Internal Affairs Pavilion to exchange for the spells he cultivated during the Foundation Establishment stage, as well as some treasures.
Unfortunately, Ding Dahua left early after obtaining the blood ginseng root. Otherwise, he would have gone to the Internal Affairs Pavilion with Steward Ding, which might have made exchanging treasures and spells more convenient.
Half an hour later, Lin Xiaofei arrived at Bai Xuefeng's inner chamber.
He originally wanted to find Ding Dahua, the head steward of the Internal Affairs Pavilion, but the junior steward said that Ding had gone to the Alchemy Pavilion and would probably not return for three days.
Lin Xiaofei immediately understood that after obtaining the blood ginseng root, the other party probably went to find an alchemist to refine pills.
He shrugged, thought for a moment, and decided not to trouble Ding Dahua. He then went directly to the counter of the Internal Affairs Pavilion and redeemed the Hundred Years of Ice and Fire he had reserved in advance.
Soon, Lin Xiaofei had a white jade porcelain bottle in his hand, containing one hundred strands of century-old ice-fire seeds.
Holding the white jade porcelain bottle, Lin Xiaofei felt that the surface of the bottle was half cold and half hot, knowing that a hundred years of ice and fire were churning and burning inside.
With this century-old ice and fire, he can now cultivate the Brahma Ice and Fire Technique.
