Chapter 653 (2/2)
People’s attention was immediately drawn to this new trade.
No longer did they pay attention to the unfamiliar cultivator.
Only a few people would occasionally turn their heads to glance at him again.
They were clearly intrigued by the mysterious treasure within the jade box on his person.
However, this was a trading meeting of the highest order, where even the cultivators who could attend were of renowned reputation.
Naturally, no one would make any inappropriate moves because of the mysterious treasure.
Even if someone did have any ideas, at the very least they would wait until they had left Bihai City.
But, the other party was no fool.
Since they dared to offer that item, they must have made thorough preparations beforehand, and as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, they would surely not fear them.
……
The trading meeting was still going on in full swing and quickly approached its climax.
Lin Jing had not participated in it from beginning to end.

He had not chosen anyone’s treasures either.
Lin Jing hadn’t chosen any other treasures, not because he was in a rush, but Yan Ming beside him was getting somewhat anxious on Lin Jing’s behalf.
“Brother Lin, I thought the Magical Treasure offered by Dongji Divine Lord just now was quite good.
You didn’t show any interest?”
Lin Jing shook his head, “Let’s wait a bit more.”
Hearing Lin Jing say this, Yan Ming could only helplessly shake his head as well.
Actually, the one thing Lin Jing was truly interested in was the Jade Soul Algae in the hands of the Yan Family’s ancestor.
However, from what had happened just now, it seemed that the Jade Soul Algae was extremely precious to the Yan Family’s ancestor, and Lin Jing naturally couldn’t just take someone’s beloved possession.
Therefore, Lin Jing didn’t have the heart to speak up.
Lin Jing’s intention was to wait until the trading meeting was over and then inquire with the Yan Family’s ancestor about the origin of the Jade Soul Algae.
Once he knew where it came from, he could search for it himself.
Because of the harsh conditions required for the growth of Jade Soul Algae, it only appeared in specific locations.
As long as he found that particular place, it would simply be a matter of expending some effort to eventually find it.
Just as Lin Jing and Yan Ming finished their conversation, the previously unknown cultivator stood up again.
“Everyone!”
“I have an item here, it is extremely precious, and I’d like to offer it for exchange.”
As the unfamiliar cultivator spoke again, it made everyone turn their attention towards him once more.
However, no sooner had his words fallen than Divine Toad Elder’s face showed displeasure as he bluntly spoke:
“If it’s something like before, something indecent, then do not bring it out again.”
The unfamiliar cultivator gave a polite bow to Divine Toad Elder and then said:
“Elder Divine Toad, please rest assured, I will not conceal this item any longer.”
“It is just that this item is a little different, and too precious.
I cannot determine its authenticity, so I brought it here for the elders present, as well as my fellow cultivators, to help identify its authenticity.”
“If this item is genuine, then I will offer it for trade with everyone.”
The Divine Toad Elder, showing impatience, directly said:
“What is it?”
“You’re making such a fuss about it, just bring it out already.”
“Really…”
“You want to trade something whose authenticity you don’t even know.”
The unfamiliar cultivator did not argue or get angry; instead, he showed considerable respect towards Divine Toad Elder:
“Alright, Elder Divine Toad.”
As he spoke, the unfamiliar cultivator didn’t waste any time and took out a green-colored token from his Space Ring.
On the token were the inscribed characters ‘Five Elements’.
“This…
this token…”
When the token was revealed, it immediately caused a stir, as it was evident that many recognized the token.
Even the Island Master of True Dragon Island, who had been quiet this whole time, suddenly stood up, looking at the token and involuntarily exclaimed:
“Five Elements Wood Command!!!”
The moment these words came out, it led the few cultivators who had not yet recognized the token to exclaim as well:
“This is actually the Five Elements Wood Command!!!”
The Five Elements Ruins might be secret, but the assembled cultivators were among the very top-tier of the Southern Outer Sea.
They had all heard about the Five Elements Ruins, although most did not know the specific location of the ruins.
However, they had all heard some legends or accounts passed down about the Five Elements Ruins, which naturally included the Five Elements Command Tokens.
Lin Jing, upon seeing the Five Elements Wood Command in the hands of the unfamiliar cultivator, knew it was fake without needing to discern further.
The authentic Five Elements Wood Command was securely placed inside his Space Ring, which meant that the token in the stranger’s hands was undoubtedly a counterfeit.
Although Lin Jing knew this token was a fake, he couldn’t show it and instead had to act as shocked as the people around him.
Lin Jing carefully observed the Five Elements Wood Command in the hands of the unfamiliar cultivator and also silently compared them in his mind.
This Five Elements Wood Command was exquisitely crafted and had a rich wood element aura emanating from it.
If Lin Jing hadn’t known the true Five Elements Wood Command was in his possession, he might have actually been fooled.
Obviously,
The maker of this Five Elements Wood Command must have seen the real Five Elements Command Token, or even possessed it at one point; otherwise, they could not have made it so realistic.
This inevitably led Lin Jing to wonder.
The unfamiliar cultivator, where did he obtain this token from?
Although Lin Jing reacted immediately.
The Island Master of True Dragon Island was unaware of the token’s authenticity.
Upon seeing the token, the eyes of True Dragon Island’s Island Master shimmered with keen light, and he hurriedly said to the unfamiliar cultivator:
“Hand over that token in your possession so I can have a look.”
