For the first transaction, he almost raised the price by nearly double. It turned out that what a Nascent Soul cultivator could offer was truly extraordinary.
However, Li Yan also saw that Shentu Tianduan was definitely not a rough person. He was able to take out ice-type treasures because he saw that there were strong water and ice-type masters here, so it would be very easy to attack.
Li Yan could see that the other cultivators certainly knew Shentu Tianduan's intention, but they all kept it to themselves. As long as they had the treasures they needed, the more the better.
Afterwards, one cultivator after another began to take out their treasures and come forward. Most of the time, Li Yan just watched quietly, and only occasionally added a price.
Each of those treasures was something that was rarely seen by Nascent Soul cultivators. There were also some things that even the people who took them out didn’t know what they were, which aroused everyone’s investigation and contemplation.
After seeing them, Li Yan wanted them all, but that was all he had, and those treasures were not to the extent that he really wanted them, so he just kept waiting and watching.
There were two times when Shangguan Tianque also made a bid, but Liu Huaigu would always lower the price seemingly inadvertently, which made Shangguan Tianque shut up in the end, but there was no change in his expression.
But some people have speculated that Shangguan Tianque must be very unhappy in his heart, but they are all old foxes and will not easily reveal their thoughts.
After Li Yan had a conversation with Shangguan Tianque before, he could roughly guess that the spirit stones on Shangguan Tianque were in preparation for the later purchase of "Kongyin Grass".
If there were no treasures here that could help him break through, he would not have bought them. He came here today just to have more luck and opportunity.
Shangguan Tianque’s previous two bids were probably meant to test Liu Huaigu, and Liu Huaigu might not necessarily believe Shangguan Tianque’s words.
One is trying to find out whether the other party will secretly trip him up, and the other is trying to find out how much wealth the other party has, hoping to ruin the other party's good fortune in one fell swoop. Both are cunning and treacherous people.
During this period, some items were traded away, while some items were taken out and then taken back.
Afterwards, Shangguan Tianque also took out a leaf, which was the main material for refining a sixth-level wood-attribute elixir. In the end, it was sold for 370,000 medium-grade spirit stones, which made him look quite satisfied.
After more than an hour, only Liu Huaigu, Li Yan and Dong Lin Tingyue were left without taking out their treasures.
When the other people here looked over the three of them, Dong Lin Tingyue stood up first. She raised her jade hand slightly, and a transparent jade bottle appeared in front of her.
The jade bottle was only the thickness of a thumb, and it was filled with half a bottle of silver sand. She gently pinched the magic formula, and the stopper of the jade bottle opened, and several grains of silver sand flew out. She immediately put the stopper back on.
When a few grains of silver sand appeared in the air, they were inconspicuous. If the monk did not have extremely good eyesight, they would not be able to be seen clearly from a distance.
But the moment they appeared, there were faint streaks of cold water vapor in the whole room, as if a small cloud of mist was rising.
"I got this sand by chance, and I don't know its specific effects, but I have tried various methods to refine it, but all of them were ineffective. Even calcining it with infant fire was useless, as if it was indestructible.
But it can also create a cloud of water vapor. From this point of view, it is at least not a pure earth material, but also contains water attributes, but its function is unknown.
I am not selling this item at a price, I can only trade it under one condition."
Dong Lin Tingyue looked at the jade bottle in front of her and felt reluctant to part with it. She got these silver sands by chance.
Although the effect has not been researched yet, judging from its hardness alone, if it can be refined into a defensive magic weapon, it should be extremely difficult for cultivators below the Spirit Transformation stage to break it.
Even though she spent a high price to rent different kinds of earth fire and tried, she was ultimately unable to refine the silver sands. This made her even more certain of the extraordinary nature of this thing.
If this matter could not be delayed any longer, she would definitely not be willing to trade it.
While everyone was listening to Dong Lin Tingyue's story, their spiritual senses continued to scan these grains of silver sand, and soon, they found some differences.
When Li Yan's spiritual sense was touched, he felt a sharp coldness like a needle rushing towards his sea of consciousness. Li Yan was startled and quickly cut off his spiritual sense.
"This is something that can attack the sea of consciousness!"
The others also reacted at this time, and their expressions changed several times. Such treasures are quite rare.
But then, they also heard Dong Lin Tingyue's subsequent description, and Yinsha became more and more suspicious about it.
"Oh, but I wonder what conditions Fairy Tingyue has. Can you tell me about them?"
Shentu Tianduan was the first to ask.
"Last year, my brother was injured and poisoned by an unknown sea monster while passing through a sea area.
After returning to the clan, although I took a lot of healing medicines and asked some fellow Taoists to see me, they were unable to help me recover. So this time I came to the market to see if there are any suitable elixirs.
Today I would like to take this opportunity to ask for advice from you fellow Taoists. If you can help my brother to remove the poison successfully, then this bottle of silver sand will be your reward.
If it really doesn't work, even if you can provide relevant clues for removing poison and healing injuries, once it is proven to be effective, I will give you half of the silver sand here as a reward!"
Dong Lin Tingyue scanned the crowd with her beautiful eyes as she spoke, and a solemn expression was also visible on the half-exposed face.
"Where is your younger brother? Did he also come to the market?"
Someone asked.
"That's not the case, but I have a piece of his flesh and blood that was contaminated by the poison. It won't be a problem if I use my spiritual sense to investigate it. I can even pick out some of it and try to detoxify it!"
While Dong Lin Tingyue was speaking, she first raised her hand and collected the grains of silver sand. Then she waved her jade hand again, and another black jade box appeared in the air.
She came to the market town at this time and went out every day, except to communicate with Shangguan Tianque and others.
He spent the rest of the time looking for a lot of medicine shops, took out this piece of flesh and blood, and asked the shops to check one by one to see if they could find the right medicine for his condition. Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain.
After research, many merchants feel that in order to detoxify, at least an eighth-grade or higher healing medicine is needed to save the other party.
Otherwise, the only way is to find a cultivator who has reached the Spirit Transformation stage or above and see if he can use his special magical powers to remove the poison and heal the wounds.
However, healing pills of grade eight and above were mostly traded by cultivators above the Void Refinement Realm. Even if they were available in most markets, they were immediately bought up as soon as they appeared.
As for the Divine Transformation cultivator, the family actually did look for one and spent a lot of money, but in the end they were still unable to remove the seal. As for the cultivators above the Divine Transformation level, the family could not find them even if they asked someone to do so.
Dong Lin Tingyue was very tired these days. He could not delay the disease any longer, otherwise he would die in another year. At this time, many people here had already guessed who the poisoner was. As far as they knew, Dong Lin Tingyue did not have a brother, but he had many cousins.
Among the Nascent Soul cultivators in his clan, only one is Dong Lin Tingyue's cousin, and that person is in the early Nascent Soul stage.
If it was really her cousin in the Nascent Soul stage who was beaten up, and not any other cousin, then the meaning would be different.
This means that the Donglin family is currently one Nascent Soul cultivator short in terms of combat power. If someone with ulterior motives gets to know about this, they will have a lot of thoughts.
Dong Lin Tingyue had no other choice in this regard. If she wanted to find someone to treat her illness, it would be impossible for this situation not to be known by outsiders. All she could do was to temporarily prevent the other party from knowing who the person was.
Dong Lin Tingyue waved her jade hand again, and the black jade box opened. The moment it was opened, everyone held their breath.
Knowing that it is flesh and blood corroded by a deadly poison, no one would want to smell the stench. Of course, the biggest reason is that it is better to be careful.
"It looks like it was injured by some kind of fire poison. Eh? No, the flesh is so hard, and the color doesn't look like it's been burned..."
After the icy young man from the "Xuanming Ghost Snake" clan explored with his spiritual sense, he first talked to himself, but then he felt something was wrong.
His true form was a highly poisonous monster, so of course he knew a lot about poison, but he still felt that the flesh and blood in front of him was a little strange.
"It should be caused by the erosion of the poison, but there is no cold air inside, the color is bright red, and there is no trace of black air..."
The other cultivator took a quick look with his spiritual sense and quickly compared the various poisons he knew with each other in his mind, and began to verify them one by one, but then he felt that his judgment might be wrong.
"The tendons in the flesh are like long, thin stones. Although the flesh is hard, the color is very bright, but it no longer looks like petrified...
What kind of toxin can only affect the tendons after invading the body, but not have the same effect on the flesh and blood..."
After watching for a while, many people began to ask Dong Lin Tingyue about the appearance of the pair of sirens, but Dong Lin Tingyue's answer disappointed many people.
She could only say that it was a fish-type monster, and that it had attacked by surprise. After the attack, it immediately sank to the bottom of the sea, and she could not see its appearance clearly...
Shangguan Tianque was also observing. He was also very interested in the bottle of silver sand. High-level cultivators were like this. The more they couldn't understand something, the more attractive it was to them.
For a moment, the entire hall fell silent. Occasionally, someone would take action, actually take a piece of flesh and blood in front of themselves, and then carefully investigate it using various methods.
Some people really wanted to get the silver sand after seeing those grains of silver sand before, but the other party was unwilling to exchange, so they could only think about how to detoxify the poison.
However, some others, due to the properties of their skills, did not necessarily want to obtain the silver sand, but became interested in the poison that Dong Lin Tingyue took out.
Even if it cannot be detoxified in the end, it can give you a certain understanding of the unknown things, so that if you encounter them in the future, you will not be at a loss. Of course, it would be better if you can detoxify this poison.
As these people were thinking about their own things, time passed quickly. As time went by, disappointment slowly appeared in Dong Lin Tingyue's eyes.
Everyone in the hall either frowned in thought or narrowed their eyes, and no one spoke again. This situation already showed one thing, no one should have seen the origin of this poison.
Otherwise, even if this factor cannot be eliminated, after such a long time, someone should have spoken out or whispered to me privately, expressing their opinions and suggestions.
Instead of constantly observing, or simply closing their eyes and thinking for a long time.
Li Yan stared at the piece of flesh the size of a fingernail in front of him. He had been observing it and had already figured out something.
"This is a toxin that corrodes mana. It has the ability to solidify and assimilate mana, but the more mana there is, the greater the damage it causes, which is why the tendons and veins become petrified.
It's not that the flesh and blood was not damaged, but because the spiritual energy stored in it was not that powerful, it only caused it to become 'hard', but it did not affect its original color..."
Li Yan's consciousness shuttled through that small piece of flesh and blood. Although his way of observation was not much different from that of other people, his way of thinking was based on analyzing his own various fragmented and poisonous manifestations.
When Li Yan was in the Wuliang Sect, he had been exposed to various poisons for quite a long time, but he was sure that he had never seen this kind of toxin before, and he fell into deep thought for a while.
Dong Lin Tingyue felt disappointed again when she saw this. She took out this unknown silver sand to attract the attention of everyone here and make them take it seriously, but this was all she could do.
She then stretched out her hand and immediately took the jade box containing the flesh and blood in front of her. Her action immediately woke up everyone.
"How is it, fellow Taoists?"
Dong Lin Tingyue still held on to hope, and she opened her red lips and asked everyone.
Then her eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces again, and finally, to her disappointment, Shentu Tianduan shook his head first and sat down again.
He had just ingested some flesh and blood, and even poured several kinds of liquid and powder medicine on it, but after observation, he found that the toxins had not been removed.
Then came the cold young man from the "Xuanming Ghost Snake" clan. He was still frowning in thought, as he had never seen this kind of poison before.
The result of the previous attempt was the same as Shentu Tianduan's, but he was also a poison cultivator, so he was still thinking about other ways to detoxify and did not speak immediately.
The others either shook their heads or remained silent. Liu Huaigu hesitated for a moment, and finally he was the first to speak.
“Although Fairy Tingyue brought poisoned flesh and blood, these can only be tested by applying powder or liquid medicine directly.
But it cannot be detoxified by swallowing pills and then using mana to assist, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of detoxification, and it is impossible to really determine whether the poison has been removed! "
Although Liu Huaigu is not a poison cultivator, he is good at refining various elixirs, and what he said does make sense.
But Dong Lin Tingyue certainly had her own concerns. After a moment's hesitation, she spoke.
"Then Fellow Daoist Liu should have some opinions after observing this poison. Could you please share them with us?"
"I think this poison might be a deadly poison that corrodes spiritual energy. Because the spiritual energy in a cultivator's body is unevenly distributed, it causes the tendons, blood, and flesh to behave differently!"
Liu Huaigu thought about it and decided to express his opinion.
When Dong Lin Tingyue heard this, the pair of beautiful eyes behind the silver mask blinked, and suddenly there was a strange light.
"Fellow Daoist, what is your basis for saying this?"
