Zhou Yan looked at the other party, unsure if he was a teacher or an elder of the academy.
"Are you calling me?" Zhou Yan asked.
The other party quickly nodded and replied, "I am indeed calling you. I saw you take out many high-level cultivation techniques earlier. I have a few items here, and if you don't mind, we can trade."
Zhou Yan, hearing this, naturally wouldn't refuse and quickly replied, "Of course, no problem."
There were many such instances. Once both parties agreed, they could trade directly.
The other party quickly asked, "I have some high-level materials, as well as buildings and equipment. What do you need?"
Zhou Yan, upon hearing this, sighed inwardly, "As expected of an elder." He quickly replied, "I need materials and buildings. Can I see them?"
"Naturally." The other party took out several of his rare materials, each of eight-star quality.
"I have five hundred units of this material, only three hundred of this one, and this one is relatively abundant, with a thousand units," the other party said.
Afterward, the other party took out three more buildings and said, "A barrack building, a defense tower, and a restaurant-type building."
Zhou Yan looked at them and was a bit surprised. These three buildings were all S-grade.
"Which cultivation technique do you want?" Zhou Yan brought out the previous cultivation technique manuals.
The other party looked carefully and said, "I want this dark-attribute cultivation technique and this wind-attribute cultivation technique. See if you need anything else, and I'll check if I have it."
These two cultivation techniques were both SSS-grade. The value of the other party's three buildings and materials was far less than the value of Zhou Yan's two cultivation techniques.
Zhou Yan thought for a moment and said, "Materials above five-star are fine, any material will do. Then there are buildings, regardless of quality. As for equipment, I'm not really lacking, but if you have any peculiar scrolls, tokens, or similar items, I can accept them."
"Is that so? Please wait a moment." The other party pondered for a moment and then said, "I do have quite a few five-star and six-star materials, and also five more buildings and some items."
The other party took out all these items. The five-star and six-star materials were very rare and were also needed by his territory.
Among the five buildings, three were A-grade and two were B-grade. Two of them were barrack buildings, which he naturally needed.
"This is an R-grade Grand Teleportation Art," Zhou Yan said, seeing a scroll. It was a large-scale teleportation scroll, capable of sending people within a hundred meters to a hundred kilometers away. It was quite good.
Although it was a single-use item, it could save one's life in many situations, and its value was not too low.
Therefore, Zhou Yan began to negotiate with the other party. The other party was also very generous, not only giving him all those buildings but also the materials and the Grand Teleportation scroll.
This trade was indeed at a disadvantage for the other party, but he didn't mind because he obtained what he wanted.
"Pleasant trade." After completing the transaction, the other party shook hands with Zhou Yan and then left for the trading area.
"This elder is quite good," Zhou Yan commented. The gains this time were excellent, allowing him to trade for five buildings at once.
Afterward, Zhou Yan bought quite a few more things, including materials, buildings, and single-use items.
He then saw two spirit artifacts on someone's stall, a spear and a saber. The owner clearly stated that they were only exchanged for high-level job change scrolls or job change-related items.
Spirit artifacts were indeed very rare, only appearing occasionally at auctions. Since he encountered them, Zhou Yan wouldn't miss the opportunity.
The competition was quite fierce, with many people already offering job change scrolls for negotiation. The owner was clearly still contemplating.
Zhou Yan directly took out two job change scrolls and asked, "Are you interested in these two job change scrolls?"
The owner's eyes lit up. Both were SSS-grade job change scrolls. He quickly clasped his fists and said to the others, "I apologize, everyone. The job change scrolls this young brother has are superior to yours. Please leave."
They all looked at the two job change scrolls in Zhou Yan's hands and sighed, leaving with regret.
"Young man, one job change scroll for one spirit artifact is a relatively fair trade," the owner said.
Zhou Yan nodded, handed the two scrolls to the owner, and also received the two spirit artifacts.
Zhou Yan carefully examined the attributes of this spirit artifact. Although it was slightly inferior to his previous Dragon Soul Spear, it was still quite good.
After both parties were satisfied, Zhou Yan saw Lin Tan's message, asking him to come to stall number 598. He had negotiated a big deal.
When Zhou Yan arrived, he saw the materials on the stall were Spatial Stones, all of six-star quality. These materials had attracted many people, but none of them had offered items that satisfied the owner.
"There's actually such a good thing," Zhou Yan was truly surprised and satisfied with Lin Tan's performance.
He really needed this material, but he wondered what the owner wanted in exchange.
Seeing Zhou Yan, Lin Tan's eyes lit up. He quickly pulled Zhou Yan over and said to the stall owner, "This is my brother, and he definitely has what you need."
The owner looked at Zhou Yan and asked, "Your brother said you have many good things, and you can offer whatever I need."
"May I ask what you need? Feel free to state it directly," Zhou Yan said, truly confident.
"What I need is also a type of material. You've taken a liking to these Spatial Stones, right? I won't cheat you. As long as you can offer materials of the same quality, I'll trade with you one-on-one." The owner looked at Zhou Yan, clearly worried that Zhou Yan wouldn't have the materials he needed.
Zhou Yan replied, "You have to tell me what it's called first."
"That thing is called Lucky Spirit Stone. If you have it, from one-star to six-star and above, I need it all. The price can be negotiated," the owner said with a hint of expectation. He had been searching for this material for years without seeing it for sale, and this time he wanted to try his luck.
"Lucky Spirit Stone? What is that?" Lin Tan had never heard of this material before. He frowned, slightly worried if Zhou Yan had it.
Upon hearing this material, Zhou Yan seemed very surprised. He hadn't expected the other party to need such a material, and it seemed the building the other party had was not ordinary either.
Moreover, this material was also very rare. He had only obtained quite a bit from Origin Stones. He himself lacked high-level Lucky Spirit Stones, though he still had a good amount of low-level ones.
"Don't you have it? That's a pity." The other party was clearly disappointed. It made sense; he had searched for that material for years without finding it, and the other party probably hadn't even seen it.
However, he suddenly heard Zhou Yan ask, "How much do you need?"
"You have it!" The other party immediately stood up, looking at Zhou Yan with great surprise and excitement.
"Well, I don't have six-star ones, but I do have quite a bit from one-star to five-star," Zhou Yan replied.
"That's great!" The other party didn't hide his excitement and then smiled, "It doesn't matter, as long as you have it. This material is too hard to find. We can negotiate the price."
