Chapter 300: Meteorite Iron, Swallowing Spirit Ant Opportunity (Two in One)
"Please take out treasures of enough value to exchange for the Meteorite Iron, which can help the Swallowing Ants break through!"
The brief system prompt made Lin Shiming unable to contain his excitement.
You must know, his Swallowing Ants had not only consumed the Windfire Stardust but also many pieces of Spirit Milk Stone, yet they were still at the peak of the Second Rank, which really worried him.
Seeing that Meteorite Iron had appeared at this trade conference, he was naturally astonished.
If the Swallowing Ants could break through, then this trip to the Qingyun market would already be the greatest harvest.
Second Rank peak Swallowing Ants already have a great advantage when facing some Spirit Formations, and if they evolved into Third Rank Swallowing Ants, ordinary restrictive formations would be devoured in the blink of an eye.
Even later, there would be a certain chance to break through Fourth Rank Formations.
However, looking around, he didn't know whose hands the Meteorite Iron was in, nor whether it was of sufficient size.
And what exactly should he use to trade for it.
The biggest variable in bartering is that, clearly, some Cultivators have the item, but they simply do not want to come forth to trade, nor will they really tell you everything they possess.
Your treasures may not necessarily appeal to their tastes, or they may need it for themselves, so you can't get it anyway.
You must know, the material such as Meteorite Iron is used in forging Magic Artifacts, definitely starting from Supreme Grade artifacts, and even enabling some Fourth Rank Artifact Refiners to create Magical Treasures.
Such material made Lin Shiming hesitate.
And trying to discern who had the Meteorite Iron based on the expressions of these Cultivators was too difficult, after all, none of the leading Family Heads from various families were novices.
And the system prompt was, after all, too vague.
As Lin Shiming hesitated, Zhang Haoling traded all three Magic Artifacts in one go, with a Supreme Grade artifact exchanged by a Foundation Establishment Later Stage practitioner from the Chen Family, and the remaining two Superior Grade artifacts were traded to two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivators.
The Chen Family Foundation Establishment Cultivator also took out three treasures.
A thousand-year-old Purple Cloud Heartwood, a hundred-year-old Fire Crystal, and a Darkfire Eagle Spirit Beast Egg.
What was traded were Spirit Pills to advance one's cultivation level.
Seeing this, Lin Shiming was also a bit interested, especially in the Purple Cloud Heartwood. His Heavenly Wood Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique required Mu Xin, although he already had two secondary Spirit Platforms.
He didn't need a new Mu Xin, but either as a precaution or to add to his family's clan treasury, it wouldn't be a bad idea.
He exchanged it with a bottle of Cotton Yang Pill.
Having obtained the Purple Cloud Heartwood, Lin Shiming understood that ordinary items wouldn't likely prompt the Cultivator with the Meteorite Iron to take the initiative to make a trade.
The system prompt also hinted at this.
Taking a deep breath, he stood up, unwilling to shirk his duty as the third to do so.
Lin Shiming also took out three Jade Boxes.
The three Jade Boxes were opened one by one.
The first Jade Box contained a Jade Bottle, and within the Jade Bottle was a drop of white Spirit Milk, distinct and clear.
When the cap of the Jade Bottle was opened slightly, one could see rich Spiritual Energy emerging in the space above the Jade Bottle, causing all the Cultivators present to inhale sharply.
"Hundred-Year Spirit Milk!" Many Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators suddenly found themselves breathing quickly.
A single drop of Hundred-Year Spirit Milk could restore a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's entire True Yuan at once, and could absolutely save one's life at a critical moment.
You know, when Cultivators fight, they often run short of True Yuan, and the outcome hinges on a single move.
But with Hundred-Year Spirit Milk, that means having twice the True Yuan, and sometimes, that equates to two more trump cards.
The result could be entirely different.
The reason why Lin Shiming was able to survive until the end so many times in the small world Secret Realm had a lot to do with his three Spirit Platforms and ample Hundred-Year Spirit Milk, and at times, he even used Thousand-Year Spirit Milk.
And the price of Hundred-Year Spirit Milk was extremely high.
Even Zhang Haoling of the Zhang Family was interested.
When the second Jade Box was opened, it revealed a Pill Furnace. This Pill Furnace had a scent of antiquity, was brimming with Spiritual Energy, its Spirit Light was dazzling, and upon being slightly activated, a scorching Spiritual Flame was produced.
A few Alchemists in the room watched with covetous eyes that were hard to conceal.
It was a Third Rank Superior Grade Pill Furnace, one that Lin Shiming had obtained from the Purple Mansion Cave Mansion, second only to the one owned by Lin Shitao.
Such an Alchemy Furnace had enormous significance for a Foundation Establishment family, and could even improve the alchemy level of a family at times.
This item, compared to Hundred-Year Spirit Milk, was in no way inferior!
In fact, in the long run, an Alchemy Furnace would be better.
Lin Shiming did not stop there, opening the third Jade Box.
Inside the Jade Box was a miniature Black Tower. The Black Tower looked ordinary and seemed like a common Magic Artifact, but everyone understood that Lin Shiming took out this treasure, and placed it last, it had to be the most precious!
As Lin Shiming stimulated True Yuan into it, countless Spirit Lights emerged. Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
This Black Tower was actually Xiao Chen's treasure, a Supreme Grade artifact that combined attack, suppression, defense, and Spell storage in one. Even among Supreme Grade artifacts, it was considered a choice piece.
This artifact wasn't made from ordinary iron, clearly hinting at exceptional materials.
And Lin Shiming actually took out such an artifact, which astonished the Foundation Establishment Cultivators present.
Even the Zhang Family, at this moment, greatly coveted the Black Tower.
Especially Zhang Haogang, for whom such a Black Tower, coupled with his Body Cultivation strength, could be used to its fullest extent.
Seeing this, Lin Shiming also felt a bit helpless, as he originally had no intention of taking out the Black Tower despite it being the least noticeable among his Supreme Grade artifacts and, to him, an expendable item!
After all, he had the Rolling Divine Plate, Heavenly Demon Nether Needle, Corpse-Binding Belt, Zilai Sword, Laiyun Sword, and Star Wood Shield.
