Very quickly, the trade gathering that Li Qing felt resembled a pyramid scheme began. He remained silent and quietly observed everything that happened.
The eternal lamps flickered uncertainly. In the dim surroundings, someone spoke from a corner of the dark chamber.
"Fellow Daoist Míngguāng, how goes the Sky Star Grass I asked you to collect last month?"
The voice sounded like it belonged to a woman, but Li Qing did not dare jump to conclusions. This trade gathering clearly placed great emphasis on secrecy, and with everyone seated on cushions covered in restrictions, it was difficult to determine the other party's gender.
Still, Li Qing muttered inwardly. This trade gathering seemed to be on an even higher level than he had imagined!
Sky Star Grass was a valuable spirit herb with extremely harsh growing conditions. Besides abundant spiritual energy, it also had to be bathed in starlight at night.
This spirit herb greatly nourished a cultivator's divine soul. If taken steadily over the years, one's divine soul would certainly become far stronger than that of others at the same realm.
Beyond that, Sky Star Grass had other marvelous uses. Refined into pills, it could restore spiritual sense power in a short time.
For cultivators specializing in the divine soul and spiritual sense, if their spiritual sense ran dry during battle, swallowing one such pill could swiftly restore their combat strength.
The cultivator called Míngguāng spoke. "That place is difficult to penetrate. At present, I've only collected three stalks of Sky Star Grass. If you're in a hurry, I can trade all of them to you at once."
Upon hearing this, the female cultivator who needed Sky Star Grass replied without a second thought, "No problem!"
Other than those two, the several other cultivators also began making trades at this time.
