Hongyi was just about to speak when his expression suddenly shifted slightly, and a hint of shock flickered across his eyes.
But he quickly regained his composure, pondered briefly, and then slowly said:
"Fellow Daoist Xu has been a Third-rank Talisman Master for years. With your skills, drawing Third-rank Middle Grade talismans should not be a problem. Would it be possible for you to sell me a few Third-rank Middle Grade talismans?"
"Third-rank Middle Grade talismans?"
Xu Ping's brow furrowed imperceptibly, then he chuckled bitterly, "Hongyi really overestimates me. I'm just at the Foundation Establishment Realm. To be able to craft Third-rank Lower Grade talismans is already quite fortunate."
"As for Third-rank Middle Grade talismans, they are far beyond my capabilities." Xu Ping spread his hands helplessly.
At this moment, Xu Ping certainly couldn't openly sell Third-rank Middle Grade talismans.
After all, he is currently only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and being able to draw Third-rank Lower Grade talismans at this realm already speaks volumes of his extraordinary talent.
But crafting Third-rank Middle Grade talismans is not something that can be explained merely by gifted talent; it would certainly invite many unnecessary troubles.
"Fellow Daoist Xu is too modest. With such world-shocking talent, crafting Third-rank Middle Grade talismans surely shouldn't be a problem." Hongyi smiled broadly and said with a chuckle.
"As long as Fellow Daoist Xu is willing to sell me the Third-rank Middle Grade talismans, regardless of what it is, as long as you need it, we can negotiate."
"Even Crystal Condensing Liquid isn't out of the question for discussion," Hongyi stated seriously.
"Anything?"
"Crystal Condensing Liquid?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ping's heart jolted fiercely, his pupils subconsciously contracted slightly.
Wasn't Hongyi's tone a bit too grandiose?
Moreover, from his determined voice, it seemed he was certain Xu Ping possessed Third-rank Middle Grade talismans.
But how could he be sure?
Xu Ping had never exposed this matter in front of anyone.
After giving Hongyi a deep look, Xu Ping still smiled bitterly and declined: "Fellow Daoist Hong, I truly do not have such skills to craft Third-rank Middle Grade talismans."
After speaking, he nonchalantly probed, "I wonder where Fellow Daoist Hong heard the rumor that I can craft Third-rank Middle Grade talismans?"
"It's just my speculation."
Hongyi chuckled, trying to bypass the topic, "Since Fellow Daoist Xu indeed does not have Third-rank Middle Grade talismans, then sell me a few Third-rank Lower Grade talismans."
"That is certainly not a problem."
Upon hearing that, Xu Ping gathered his thoughts, smiled slightly, and then asked, "I wonder how many talismans Fellow Daoist Hong wants?"
"The more the better," Hongyi responded.
"I have only a total of seven Third-rank talismans with me," Xu Ping replied helplessly.
"Seven?"
Hongyi murmured briefly and nodded, "Barely sufficient."
"Since Fellow Daoist is quite fond of longevity items, I shall exchange these seven Third-rank talismans with Nine-leaf Dragon Saliva Mushrooms. What do you think?"
As soon as the words fell, Hongyi flipped his hand, and a jade-green box appeared in his palm.
"Nine-leaf Dragon Saliva Mushroom?"
Upon hearing, a hint of ecstasy flashed in Xu Ping's eyes, and he immediately asked, "Is this true?"
Nine-leaf Dragon Saliva Mushroom is also a renowned Third-rank longevity item in the Cultivation Realm. Although its effect isn't as potent as that of millennial Spiritual Liquid, it is still a rare heavenly treasure.
"It's certainly true, Fellow Daoist, have a look."
Hongyi confidently smiled, gently placed the jade box on the table, and pushed it towards Xu Ping.
Seeing this, Xu Ping eagerly reached out to pick up the jade box.
Inside the jade box, a jade-green plant lay quietly.
The plant was about a foot tall, its stem seemingly slender yet subtly exuding a sense of resilience, like the warm glow of jade.
Its nine leaves resembled willow leaves but were broader and thicker, with veins flowing a mystical liquid like dragon saliva.
"So this is the Nine-leaf Dragon Saliva Mushroom!"
Xu Ping's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he carefully lifted the lid of the jade box.
At that moment, a faint fragrance spread, intermingled with a subtle, rich and enduring dragon saliva-like aroma.
The instant Xu Ping inhaled this mystical scent, a strong desire, like a tidal wave, surged from the depths of his soul to immediately consume the Nine-leaf Dragon Saliva Mushroom.
Fortunately, this desire was not as intense as upon smelling millennial Spiritual Liquid.
Moreover, Xu Ping had experienced this before, so he did not show any sign of unusual behavior.
"This Nine-leaf Dragon Saliva Mushroom is indeed genuine!" Xu Ping pressed down his inner excitement, smiling gently and nodding.
The fact that he reacted this way confirms that this plant is indeed the true and valuable Nine-leaf Dragon Saliva Mushroom.
"Well... pleasant cooperation." Hongyi smiled.
"Pleasant cooperation."
Xu Ping smiled gently, stored the jade box safely, and then handed over seven talismans infused with Thunder Power to Hongyi.
Purely from a value perspective, the worth of these seven Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talismans undoubtedly exceeds that of the Nine-leaf Dragon Saliva Mushroom.
After all, the Nine-leaf Dragon Saliva Mushroom's effects are quite singular, primarily used for extending lifespan, and its longevity effect is somewhat inferior to that of millennial Spiritual Liquid.
However, the value gap between the two is not excessively vast, falling within the normal range of value fluctuations in transactions.
Hongyi carefully inspected, confirmed the talismans were correct, and also carefully stowed away the seven Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talismans.
"If Fellow Daoist Xu succeeds in crafting Third-rank Middle Grade talismans in the future, be sure to notify me at once."
