Chapter 1437: Chapter 1437: Exchange
Feng Yiyun was also aware of Jiang Cheng’s troublesome issue. From an outsider’s perspective, such a daughter was indeed a headache. It should still be Jiang Cheng’s capability; otherwise, an ordinary cultivation family would have truly given up.
He did not turn his head, merely asked who had Ghost Orchid.
After quite a while, none of the disciples responded.
Jiang Cheng was anxious, "How can there be none? This is my only hope. Take a look, this is Ghost Orchid."
After saying so, he waved his hand and an image of Ghost Orchid appeared in the air. All the disciples shook their heads, genuinely having discovered nothing.
Su Yuanyuan had it in her space, but she was uncertain whether to take it out, having just found out what the Ghost Orchid was for.
However, the Ghost Orchid wasn’t even this world’s spirit plant; it hailed from the Starry Realm. If she took it out, there would be endless trouble in the future.
This secret realm didn’t even have it. If she claimed it was from here, it wouldn’t make sense. What if someone else went looking and couldn’t find it, then what?
At this moment, a child’s voice echoed in her ear, "You give me the Ghost Orchid, and I’ll give you the cultivation technique you need now."
Su Yuanyuan was startled, "Who?"
"Don’t be so jumpy. I am the artifact spirit Little Pig of the secret realm."
"How can you follow us?" Su Yuanyuan asked curiously.
"You haven’t left my place yet, okay?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded. "How do you know I have Ghost Orchid?"
"I just know."
"There’s nothing I can do if you don’t tell me."
Even though Su Yuanyuan said this, she was already communicating with the long-armed ape.
"Master, grant me permission, I’ll go out and have a talk with it."
"It could be dangerous," Su Yuanyuan said with a frown.
"Master, not even the Divinity Transformation here can discover me."
The virtual image of the long-armed ape appeared. Su Yuanyuan looked at Tan Shaoting and the young woman who showed no expression, which reassured her. Right now, the family absolutely must not share anything through sound transmission.
Su Yuanyuan then saw the long-armed ape pinch a small thing. It looked really like a little pig, adorable and quite cute.
Only she could see it and hear it now.
She couldn’t understand the conversation between the two animals, but the long-armed ape absolutely took the lead, putting her at ease, making sure they don’t suffer a loss.
After a while, the two might have reached a consensus. The long-armed ape still didn’t let go of the little pig, "Master, I agreed to give it the Ghost Orchid, and it will give us one of all its spirit plants. I requested seven, but we also need to add a Vermilion Fruit. Plus, it said it has the kung fu you need."
"How does it know?"
"Master, you and Qi Wen talked about it in the secret realm, so of course it knows."
Su Yuanyuan was relieved. Was this artifact spirit able to hear her inner thoughts?
Su Yuanyuan certainly agreed. Her family was so shrewd; they definitely wouldn’t suffer a loss.
The two artifact spirits made the exchange. Su Yuanyuan only saw two light balls, unaware of anything else.
After the exchange, Su Yuanyuan grabbed Tan Shaoting’s hand.
The couple had been together for so many years. Tan Shaoting also knew there was Ghost Orchid in the space and understood that his wife wanted to hand it over.
Outside, Jiang Cheng was extremely low. His unfortunate daughter was really his last hope.
What would his daughter do in the future? Where should he go to find it?
Tan Shaoting sent a voice transmission to Feng Yiyun.
"Old dog, what do you want to exchange?"
Jiang Cheng’s eyes brightened, "Old Feng, let’s skip the pretense. I’ve only heard of Ghost Orchid, never seen it, don’t even know its price. I, Jiang Cheng, won’t take advantage; I offer one hundred thousand top-grade spiritual stones."
"Not enough."
"Then what do you want? As long as I have it."
This was a father’s heartfelt concern for his child.
The long-armed ape already knew what was in Jiang Cheng’s Storage Ring. Tan Shaoting transmitted to Feng Yiyun.
"Want your tree root."
"Tree root?"
At this time, Tan Shaoting had already placed the Ghost Orchid into the Personal Medicine Field. He directly stepped out.
"Senior, is this the Ghost Orchid you want?"
Jiang Cheng was so excited he wanted to reach out, but was stopped by Feng Yiyun.
"Old Feng."
Jiang Cheng anxiously shouted.
"Did you forget?"
"I haven’t forgotten." With that, he took out a Storage Bag, containing a hundred thousand top-grade spiritual stones. He didn’t know what tree root the person wanted, there were three of these in his Storage Ring. He kept them because they looked particularly tough.
The three tree roots were transferred into the Storage Bag. "Old Feng, take a look, there’s absolutely no mistake."
Tan Shaoting also took out a Jade Box, placed a Ghost Orchid inside, and handed it to Feng Yiyun.
"Alright, here it is. Old dog, remember this, my disciple is Tan Shaoting. If you encounter them in danger outside in the future, you must lend a hand."
Although Jiang Cheng was a loose cultivator, his spirit root was good, a single gold spirit root. He was already at the Foundation Establishment stage and might have been at Divinity Transformation if not for his daughter.
"Rest assured, I definitely will. I’ve heard about Tan Shaoting, and his wife is even more formidable, right? Plus, they have five children.
"Rest assured, whenever I encounter any of them outside, I’ll help."
Tan Shaoting bowed, "Thank you, senior."
Jiang Cheng waved his hand, "No need, no need. I should be grateful to you." After saying that, he disappeared.
Feng Yiyun gave the two Storage Bags to Tan Shaoting.
He bowed and departed.
The long-armed ape was already jumping around excitedly inside. It wanted the Immortal Peach Tree Root, now it can bear peaches. The long-armed ape, like monkeys, also loves peaches.
Su Yuanyuan tossed all three tree roots to the long-armed ape. Then she quietly released two Ghost Orchids; these were for the sect when they returned.
The Flying Boat ascended again. Mother and daughter did nothing, not cultivating, just sleeping.
Tan Shaoting set up an array for them and practiced cultivation nearby.
A day later, the family went out. Although they were all Foundation Establishment cultivators, they knew about Ghost Orchid. Seeing someone sell a single herb for one hundred thousand top-grade spiritual stones, they couldn’t help but envy.
They regretted in their hearts, why didn’t they follow Su Yuanyuan? Could they also have had Ghost Orchid?
Su Yuanyuan didn’t care what others thought, she had already arranged everything to give the sect two plants. Besides, Ghost Orchid would be available in this secret realm in the future.
Yao Chenyi smiled and suggested, "Why don’t we hold a trade meeting first?"
This suggestion was met with everyone’s approval.
Everyone got into action. Qi Wen smiled and also started setting up stalls,
Their family’s stall was the most popular. Everyone thought their family’s luck was too good.
The couple in the room didn’t care about how the young woman was doing.
Qi Wen was so shrewd. If someone took an interest in her spirit plants, she would want to see what spirit plants they had that she didn’t.
If she didn’t have it, it meant the whole family didn’t have it, so she would definitely trade for it.
