Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1059 - 439: The Value of an Immortal Artifact

Before Lin Xuankong encountered the two Crane Ancestors of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and the Cyan-forehead Qilin and White-forehead Qilin, he always considered the beings of the Demon Race to be utterly irredeemable, so he wasn’t too offended by the actions of these cultivators from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect.

"Fellow cultivators, no need to be so courteous, let’s move to the guest room to discuss!" Lin Xuankong nodded slightly to the many Earth Immortals of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect in front of him. Guang Yu’er and Guang Ling’er also gave slight nods to the numerous Earth Immortals of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, and then took the lead towards the guest room hall.

In no time,

the many Earth Immortals were seated separately,

Lin Xuankong straightforwardly asked: "Just now, that disciple Qu Yunxiang of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect said that you came specifically to find me, intending to use four Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits from your sect in exchange for an Immortal Artifact in my possession?"

The Second Elder Sima Ling of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, sitting on the right, nodded, then stood up, looked outside, and said:

"Indeed, my fellow disciples and I have this intention, but... it is just that we do not know if Mr. Lin still has a Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact in his possession, and whether you would be willing to use the Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact in exchange for the four Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits from our Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect!"

Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts!

Don’t even mention one; even if there were ten, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand, there would be plenty!

It’s just a pity that you only have four Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits!

Lin Xuankong secretly ridiculed in his heart.

However, Lin Xuankong was very aware that haggling is part of trade; even if he had a surplus of Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, he couldn’t possibly show that he had an abundance, otherwise, how could he bargain!

He coughed lightly, picked up a cup of fragrant tea from the table, and after tasting it thoughtfully, he said with a grave expression:

"I can exchange the Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact, after all, Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits are rare spirit fruits for us in the Immortal Realm Human Race! However, the number of Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts in my possession is already quite limited now!

You also know, I have given one Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact to my master, Immortal Lord Luoshui, and another to the senior Immortal Lord Qiaan Yuan and senior Immortal Lord Kunyuan each, in addition to temporarily handing over about twenty Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts to over twenty of our Immortal Realm Human Race’s strongest Immortal Lords for this upcoming Immortal Demon War.

With this, the number of Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts in my possession is already pitifully small; if I were to give your sect one more...

Seeing Lin Xuankong say this,

the twenty-eight Earth Immortals of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect all frowned silently.

The situation was clearly Lin Xuankong haggling!

Sitting beside Lin Xuankong, Guang Yu’er almost couldn’t help but laugh, as she remembered clearly how eagerly Lin Xuankong anticipated the Earth Immortals of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect wanting to exchange Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits for Immortal Artifacts; he was obviously quite eager!

Yet here, after seeing the many Earth Immortals of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, Lin Xuankong put on this facade, looking as if he was unwilling to exchange Immortal Artifacts for Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits with the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect!

This guy is really putting on an act!

Especially considering that the Earth Immortals of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect have long been at odds with the Earth Immortals of the Guangqing Immortal Sect, frequently clashing over the years. Seeing those Earth Immortals from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect frown, how could Guang Yu’er not secretly delight.

"Immortal Lin, these Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits are the result of over a hundred thousand years of careful cultivation by the predecessors of our Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, and their effects are almost on par with the Seven-leaf Spirit Tea. The combined effect of four Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits is even slightly superior to a single leaf of Seven-leaf Spirit Tea!"

Seeing Lin Xuankong’s seemingly unwilling demeanor, a hint of imperceptible gloom flashed in Sima Ling’s eyes, followed by a slightly anxious expression as he continued to speak.

Lin Xuankong didn’t respond; he picked up the fragrant tea on the table again, appearing somewhat unwilling as he tasted the tea and contemplated.

Seeing Lin Xuankong’s demeanor, a Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortal behind Sima Ling had a slight twitch at the corner of his eye, and the other Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortals of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect also had a flicker of gloom in their eyes.

The guest room hall of the Guangqing Immortal Sect immediately fell somewhat silent.

After a few breaths,

the second elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, Sima Ling, couldn’t help but speak: "It seems Immortal Lin may be unwilling to exchange? Or maybe you feel that four Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits aren’t enough for a Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact?"

Next to him, Guang Ling’er could no longer hold back, speaking with a playful expression:

"Elder Sima, the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits are indeed very precious, known as the fourth spirit medicine in the Immortal Realm, held in high regard by countless Earth Immortals among the Immortal Realm Human Race, second only to the even harder-to-obtain Celestial Demon Blood Fruit, Seven-leaf Spirit Tea, and the Thirty-Six Exquisite Lotus!

However, even though the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits are rare, a few can still be harvested over thousands of years,

But as for the Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts...

Not to mention Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, even Third-Grade Immortal Artifacts haven’t seen a second one emerge in our Immortal Realm for hundreds of thousands of years; only the strongest Sect Leader of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect possesses one!

If it weren’t for Mr. Lin’s extraordinary talent in artifact refining, our Immortal Realm Human Race might not see a Third-Grade or Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact for hundreds of thousands of years!

So Elder Sima, do you think the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits, which can help improve the Immortal Body’s strength, are more precious, or are the Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, which haven’t been seen for hundreds of thousands of years, more precious?"

Hearing this True Disciple of the Guangqing Immortal Sect speak,

the many Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortals present from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect all looked slightly displeased.

In the past hundred thousand years, the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect had reaped countless benefits from the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits, seemingly giving the majority of harvested Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits to the strongest Immortal Lords of the Immortal Realm Human Race, though the resources used to exchange for them were indeed comparable, if not greater in value. After all, Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits were unique to the only tree in the entire Immortal Realm, being incredibly precious!

Compared to the Third-Grade Immortal Artifacts, of which only one existed in the Immortal Realm after hundreds of thousands of years, the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits, however rare and precious, seemed less significant!

Moreover, for Elder Sima of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect to plan an exchange with Lin Xuankong for a Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact... it’s just that Lin Xuankong, with his plentiful Immortal Artifacts, didn’t regard the Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts highly, hence his interest, or else anyone else in Lin’s position might have scolded them harshly for such a proposal!

"This...."

Faced with Guang Ling’er’s pointed remarks,

Elder Sima Ling of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect was momentarily speechless.

Seeing this, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but frown slightly; his actions were merely to test if more Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits could be extracted from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, but it seemed that the second elder Sima Ling was indeed struggling, likely able to offer only four fruits!

If Guang Ling’er’s remarks disrupted the negotiation, it wouldn’t be ideal!

"Never mind, your sect seeks a Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact to contribute more to our Immortal Realm Human Race in this upcoming Immortal Demon War! I’ll reluctantly take a loss and exchange a Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact with you. But before that, Elder Sima, you should at least bring out the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits for myself and several fellow cultivators to inspect and verify, right?"

Lin Xuankong’s gaze settled on Sima Ling as he spoke slowly.

"So, Immortal Lin possesses more than one Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact, and indeed plans to exchange a Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact for the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits?"

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder Sima Ling of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect excitedly stood up, and the other twenty-seven Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortals from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect also displayed expressions of excitement and joy, standing up one after another, with more than half seemingly unable to control their Immortal Yuan from surging with excitement.
