Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit Chapter 27 - Dark Iron

Lu Ping’s item caused quite the commotion in the trade fair. After all, these 50 top-grade charms were equivalent to 150 spirit stones, and Lu Ping had spent a long time crafting them. One must know, even an ordinary mid-grade mystic instrument would cost 100 to 150 spirit stones.

The disciples below the stage were puzzled by Lu Ping’s price. The biggest use of fine iron is to craft mid-grade mystic instruments. With so many charms, he can just buy an ordinary mid-grade mystic instrument. Why is he exchanging them for fine iron? Is he trying to learn to be a smith?

Lu Ping waited patiently for the disciples to make their offers. Obviously, he had his own plans. His beloved mystic instrument, Landslide, was mostly forged out of fine iron. Hence, he would have to use up a huge amount of fine iron to upgrade it into a mid-grade mystic instrument, as well as boost its attack specialty.

Lu Ping had a considerable amount of fine copper ore which was enough to upgrade his Landslide. However, considering its original composition was mostly iron, he thought it would be better to upgrade it with the equivalent ore.

He waited for a moment on stage but no one stepped up to bid. Although many were interested in the 50 top-grade charms, they couldn’t meet Lu Ping’s specific request of fine iron.

An honest-looking young man with a big beard stood up. He threw his interspatial pouch at Lu Ping and smiled sheepishly. “Hehe, I don’t have much, but it doesn’t seem like you have enough charms to buy what I’ve got.”

His crystal clear eyes and the honest look on his face gave him the perfect disguise he needed.

The cultivators around him noticed that their partner hadn’t lost his sanity yet and so they stopped holding him back. Instead, they turned to observe Lu Ping, wondering how he would react.

Lu Ping looked into the pouch and scanned its contents. There was enough Dark Iron for him to upgrade Landslide to top-grade. After mulling it over, he asked, “What else do you want?”

The person’s eyes lit up. “A mystic instrument. A low-grade one will do, but it must be comfortable to wield. You can add on some spirit stones or charms as well.”

Lu Ping looked at the big-bearded cultivator who was half a head taller than the rest. With a smile, he asked, “What do you think of this?”

A wolf-teeth club mystic instrument flew out of Lu Ping’s interspatial pouch; the big beard cultivator reached out to grab it.

He was extremely pleased with the mighty-looking mystic instrument. As soon as he held it in his hands, he c
