After several people left the port and entered the island, they passed through a small market and soon arrived in front of a high mountain in the center of the island.
After arriving here, Chen Yurong, who was walking in front, stopped immediately, then took out a red jade tablet from his body and cast a spell to throw it into the air.
A moment later, a spiritual light emitted from the red jade plaque fell directly on the mountain wall in front. A whirlpool-like airflow suddenly rolled up in front of the originally calm mountain wall, and then a square circle appeared. White clouds four to five feet high.
After the white cloud and mist appeared in front of everyone, Chen Yurong, who was standing below, was the first to emerge from the feet with a burst of light, directly rising into the air and submerging himself into the white mist.
Seeing this, the rest of the crowd immediately followed suit, flying into the air and quickly passing through the white cloud.
As soon as he passed through the clouds and mist, Song Qingming felt his eyes light up. He appeared in a very tall and somewhat magnificent cave. Several huge luminous pearls on the mountain wall not far in front had already illuminated everyone nearby. It's like it's still outside.
As soon as everyone stood upright, an old man with a round face and a long beard in front of them came quickly to greet them.
"Haha! Fairy Chen is here. Long is a bit disappointed, so I hope you don't mind!"
Hearing this, Chen Yurong immediately smiled and returned the greeting: "Fellow Taoist Long, you're too polite. , these few are also friends of this sect, they want to have a For those of you who are here to participate in this barter conference, please ask fellow Taoists to help you.”
Hearing Chen Yurong’s introduction, the round-faced old man immediately glanced at Song Qingming and others standing aside, and then smiled. He nodded slightly and said:
"Although I haven't invited new people to join recently, it was just introduced by Chen Xianzi. There is no problem. I welcome you!"
After the round-faced old man finished speaking, he took the initiative to say a few words to Song Qingming. The man cupped his hands and spoke to them about his identity and some of the rules of the barter conference.
When Song Qingming went to Wu State for the first time to participate in the Star Conference, he also followed Chu Fengping and Chen Xuanxin to Dengyun Tower to participate in a barter conference among Jindan monks.
And from it, he used a "White Dew Pill" to exchange with Old Monster Mo for a third-level mid-grade magic weapon and a high-level defensive talisman, and gained a lot.
A few people walked and talked, and soon came to a hall inside the cave.
The hall is also very spacious and bright, with several stone pillars standing in the middle, and exquisite landscape paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. At this time, there are already twenty or thirty people sitting in various places in the hall.
Song Qingming glanced slightly and found that most of the people sitting there were people with cultivation level above the Golden Core stage. A small number of Foundation Establishment monks were also sitting just leaning against a Golden Core cultivator, and they were obviously following him. We only came here together with our Jindan period companions.
"I would like to ask some fellow Taoists to sit down for a moment. There are still a few fellow Taoists from Feihe Island and Yunlong Mountain who have not arrived yet. I will go out to greet them when they arrive at the Barter Conference. It will start soon.”
“Fellow Daoist Dragon, please!” After the round-faced old man brought everyone into the hall, he greeted Chen Yurong and quickly turned around and walked out.
Not long after, two more waves of monks came outside, and there were almost forty people in the hall. At this time, the round-faced old man walked to the stone platform in the middle of the hall and directly announced that this time The Barter Conference officially begins.
Through the mutual introduction with the round-faced old man just now, Song Qingming also already knew the name of the organizer of the Barter Conference, which was Long Fuhai.
This person is a well-known Jindan cultivator in the world of immortality in the East China Sea. His cultivation has reached the realm of the ninth level of Jindan Dzogchen. Like Chen Yurong, he is also a person who has impacted the first dimension. A person in the infant realm.
However, Long Fuhai is much older than Chen Yurong. He is now over 500 years old, and there is basically no possibility of breaking through the Nascent Soul. His future is far less bright than Chen Yurong.
This barter conference was held by Long Fuhai and Luo Chengan, another friend who was also a Jindan cultivator, on this island called "Luolong Island" more than a hundred years ago. It has been organized and has been held more than 20 times so far.
Different from the last time Song Qingming was at Dengyun Tower, the barter conference held at "Luolong Island" did not involve the monks getting to know each other or discussing Taoism. The only purpose was to Monks exchange spiritual objects among themselves.
However, all monks participating in the Barter Conference here, no matter who they are, must hand over a certain proportion of spiritual stones to the organizer of the Barter Conference, "Luolong Island", every time they successfully exchange a spiritual object.
In addition to organizing people to participate in the bartering conference, "Luolong Island" also needs to be responsible for appraising and guaranteeing the value of spiritual objects, and providing some conveniences such as exchanging spiritual stones for the monks who come to the conference. .
Long Fuhai had just announced the start of the barter conference, and soon a young Confucian scholar wearing a yellow robe and a purple gold jade crown took the lead on the stage.
After greeting everyone, the young Confucian scholar took out a shining white jade bead from his body with a wave of his hand, then showed it in front of everyone, and then slowly said with a calm face. :
“Fellow Taoists, this is a third-level middle-grade white jade thunder bead. It is a defensive magic weapon refined from the eyeballs of thunder dragons. It is especially resistant to thunder attribute spells.
I want to exchange this item for a demon king inner elixir of the same quality. If anyone can come up with a metallic demon king inner elixir, I am willing to add another third-level low-grade spiritual talisman as compensation. "
As soon as this man came on stage, he took out a high-quality third-level defense magic weapon. Song Qingming's face also showed a slight look of surprise.
You must know how to cultivate Defensive spiritual objects and magic weapons in the fairy world have always been relatively rare. Song Qingming has participated in many large and small trade fairs over the years, and it is rare to see anyone taking the initiative to sell spiritual objects of this level.
Even when he attended the Wu Kingdom Star Conference, Song Qingming only saw one or two pieces, and they were basically snapped up by everyone as soon as they came out, and they were finally sold at a high premium.
This person offered it in exchange for a third-level mid-grade Demon King's inner elixir. He was indeed taking advantage of others, but he didn't know if anyone among the many people present would take it out.
Although among the many golden elixir monks present, there are many who have reached the late golden elixir stage, but not everyone can easily hunt down a demon king who is in the middle golden elixir stage.
Song Qingming also has an inner elixir that he got from the "Black Scale Beast" not long ago, but unfortunately the demon elixir is only a third-level low-grade one and cannot meet this person's requirements, otherwise he would definitely I also need to give the sound transmission a try.
As soon as the middle-aged Confucian scholar finished speaking, it didn’t take long for someone to reach the stage and want to exchange this item with him. What Song Qingming didn’t expect was that someone was sitting not far from him. He Mengxin actually sent a message to the stage.
Seeing this scene, Song Qingming slightly remembered that when He Mengxin and they were exploring Yuanying Cave in Yue Kingdom, they killed the inner elixir of the gray rat demon king together, and finally divided the inner elixir. The thing just fell into her hands.
After so many years, Song Qingming thought that He Mengxin, the inner elixir of the Demon King, had been used long ago. Unexpectedly, she still kept it until now.
You must know that spiritual objects such as the Demon King's inner elixir can be stored for a long time unlike spiritual objects such as spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits. Generally, they will begin to deteriorate and deteriorate up to twenty or thirty years after they are obtained.
Most monks who get such things will choose to get rid of them quickly and will not keep them on their bodies.
Although He Mengxin also sent a message, it was a pity that the middle-aged Confucian scholar did not choose her as the trading partner, but exchanged the defensive magic weapon in his hand to another look-alike Some ugly, skinny old man.
After Long Fuhai, on behalf of "Luolong Island", inspected the spiritual objects provided by both parties and found no problems, the first business in the Barter Conference began to be officially concluded, and both parties to the transaction subsequently He left the middle platform with satisfaction.
Song Qingming was quite shocked when he saw that in the transaction just now, four or five people, including He Mengxin, tried to compete for the third-level mid-level defensive magic weapon.
Unexpectedly, among so many golden elixir monks present, many of them were like the middle-aged Confucian scholar, bringing top-quality treasures. This also made him aware that spiritual objects would appear next in this barter conference. There was a bit more anticipation.
As expected, the second monk who came on stage took out another third-level medium-grade elixir with water attributes that was not low in value, and wanted to exchange it for a defensive talisman of the same quality.
Although the value of a third-level middle-grade elixir is far less than the defensive magic weapon that the first person just took out, elixirs of this level are also very useful spiritual objects for most monks. Everyone present, including Song Qingming, was a little moved when they saw this thing.
Song Qingming does have a third-level middle-grade defensive talisman on his body, but this thing has always been hidden on his body as a self-defense trump card. Although a third-level middle-grade elixir is good, it is not Song Qingming needed something urgently now. After thinking for a moment, he gave up the idea of exchanging this spiritual object.
As the bartering conference progressed smoothly, this third-level medium-grade elixir soon fell into the hands of a handsome man in white.
Although they were all trade fairs organized by Golden Core monks, the barter conference that Song Qingming attended in "Dengyun Pavilion" had many Golden Core monks coming, but the quality of the spiritual objects brought out by most of them was not high. too high.
And they are basically items that are relatively unpopular on the market and are difficult to sell. They are not that attractive to other Jindan monks. Many monks are just happy after they come on the field. You can get the spiritual object you want as you wish. What is different from last time is that the participants of the "Luolong Island" bartering conference this time obviously came with some sincerity to exchange spiritual objects. The spiritual objects everyone brought out were obviously much more practical and basically It can attract many monks to send messages and quotes.
Among the seven or eight people who came on stage in succession, only one late-stage Jindan monk walked off the stage with a disappointed look on his face.
However, the reason why this person failed to exchange for the spiritual object he wanted was not because the spiritual object he took out was not attractive enough, but because the third-level high-grade fire attribute monster he wanted to exchange for The material on the body is really too unpopular. No one among the monks present has this spiritual object.
You must know that the East China Sea Cultivation World is surrounded by the vast sea. Fire-attribute monsters do not like this kind of living environment and are very rare. It is naturally not an easy task to find materials for high-level fire-attribute monsters here.
Although he has seen a lot of good things come out, although these things are good, they are not the spiritual objects that Song Qingming wants most at the moment. Therefore, he has only tried to send a message to quote the price once so far. He gave up immediately after failing to get permission from the other party, and did not participate too much in competing for spiritual objects.
It was not until the ninth monk went up that the things the visitor brought out made Song Qingming, who had always been somewhat calm, show a hint of excitement on his face.
“All fellow Taoists are all accomplished people. I don’t think I need to introduce the function of this water spirit fruit too much. I would like to use this spirit fruit in exchange for a wood attribute magic weapon or something. If you are interested in elixirs that can improve your cultivation level at level 3 or above, you can quote me.”
After hearing this person say the spiritual object he wanted to exchange for, Song Qingming just thought for a moment. , and immediately cast a spell to send a message to the other party.
"Water Spirit Fruit" is the main medicine that can be used to refine the Foundation Building Pill. As long as the mature spirit fruit is taken directly to Xiaoyao Sect's Shanggong Pavilion, it can be exchanged for a Foundation Building Pill. Naturally, Song Qingming does not want to miss such a spiritual object. .
However, this "Water Spirit Fruit" not only attracted Song Qingming, after he finished casting the spell, not long after, there were two golden elixir monks present who also reported their prices through the sound transmission.
The monk standing on the stage who took out the "Water Spirit Fruit" waited for a long time to see that no one else was participating in the quotation. After hesitating for a moment, he still sent a message to Song Qingming. , agreed to his offer.
Seeing this, Song Qingming was also delighted. He quickly got up and came to the stage, and then walked into a yellow formation that blocked his vision from the outside.
This is the yellow ban on the "Luolong Island" side. In order to ensure that the information of the monks on both sides is not leaked during the transaction, a specially set up circle to isolate the spiritual vision.
After entering the formation, Song Qingming took out a cyan dagger magic weapon from his body with one hand and handed it to Long Fuhai who was standing beside him.
This green dagger magic weapon is the "Green Willow Sword" that Huofeng returned to Song Qingming when he formed the elixir.
As his cultivation has improved over the years, Song Qingming has more sophisticated magic weapons in his hands. He no longer needs this third-level low-grade magic weapon, so he gave it to Jin Feng for use.
Just after hearing that the other party asked for a wood-attribute magic weapon, Song Qingming immediately thought of the "Green Willow Sword" on his body, and directly sent a message to the other party to tell him that he wanted to use this magic weapon in exchange for the "Water Spirit Fruit" idea.
The person who wants to trade with Song Qingming happens to practice wood attribute skills. Being able to hold a magic weapon of the same attribute will naturally improve his fighting ability, so the "Green Willow Sword" is important to him. , the value is definitely higher than some other magic weapons of the same level.
After Long Fuhai checked that there was nothing wrong with the "Green Willow Sword", he asked an alchemist next to him who was more familiar with the spiritual fruit to pick up the "Water Spirit Fruit" in the opponent's hand and examine it carefully for a moment before he safely handed the spiritual object back to the two. people.
After getting the "Water Spirit Fruit" he wanted, Song Qingming showed a bit of satisfaction on his face, and immediately took out two middle-grade spiritual stones from his body and handed them over to Long Fuhai. This was also their As a trade fair organizer, you need to draw fees from it.
After completing the transaction, Song Qingming did not rush to leave the stone platform in the middle. Instead, he took out a set of third-level low-grade formations from his body and said to the monks sitting around him: < br>
“This object is a set of third-level low-grade magic circle that I personally refined. If the location is used properly, it can easily trap monsters that are below the middle stage of the Golden Core.
I would like to use this set of magic circles in exchange for a five-element spiritual object that assists in forming pills. If the price is insufficient, I am willing. To compensate for the price difference, if that fellow Taoist is interested, you can give me a quote.”
Since he advanced to the level three formation mage, Song Qingming has refined several sets of level three formations in the past few decades. The set of formations in his hand was refined after he found the materials in the Shanggong Pavilion of Xiaoyao Sect more than ten years ago. of.
Seeing the high-level magic circle floating in front of Song Qingming, most of the monks present were immediately attracted, and many of them had a hint of excitement in their eyes.
There are not many formation masters above level three in the world of immortality. In addition, refining a set of formations takes much longer than other skills. Many high-level formation masters are unwilling to do so. Too much time is spent on this, so magic circles above level three are not common on the market.
The reason why Song Qingming was able to refine several sets of third-level magic arrays in just a few decades without affecting his own cultivation was mainly because he had that powerful The reason for the residual image to quickly restore mana.
If it were anyone else, it would not be possible to do it so easily.
Although the high-level magic circle in Song Qingming's hand, which is helpful for hunting monsters, is considered a very good rare spiritual object here, it has a great attraction to the monks present as soon as it is taken out.
However, the five-element spiritual object that Song Qingming wanted to assist in forming elixirs was also not a common and precious spiritual object. Although many golden elixir monks present looked at the magic circle in Song Qingming's hand with excitement, they Not many people have asked Transsion to make an offer.
Furthermore, the quotes that Song Qingming received from the messengers were not the five-element elixir spiritual objects he wanted, but other high-level spiritual objects whose value was equivalent to the formation in his hand. .
After a while, seeing that no one had given a quote for the Five Elements Spiritual Item, Song Qingming slowly showed a hint of disappointment on his face.
"It seems that none of the Golden Core cultivators present have what he wants." Just when Song Qingming was about to put away the magic circle in front of him, another sound transmission suddenly flew in. in his ears.
"Fellow Taoist, I still have a third-level middle-grade Red Dragon Pill in my hand. This pill can improve the magic power of a mid-stage Golden Pill monk for about ten years. Can I exchange it with you for this magic circle?"
< br>After hearing the other party's voice transmission, Song Qingming's face showed a hint of surprise. After standing there and thinking for a moment, he directly replied to the other party through the voice transmission without any further hesitation, agreeing to the deal.
A third-level mid-level elixir that can improve mana cultivation is worth more than the third-level low-level magic circle in Song Qingming's hand. The other party is willing to exchange it with Song Qingming, but to be honest, let him Take advantage of it a little bit.
Since the set of third-level formations in his hand cannot be exchanged for the five-element elixir spiritual object he wants, he trades it for a third-level mid-grade spiritual elixir that is helpful to his practice. For Song Qingming For sure, you won't suffer a loss.
After all, for Song Qingming, who had the help of the residual diagram, it was not difficult to re-refining a third-level magic circle as long as he had the right materials and spent some time.
If it weren't for the difficulty of finding high-level materials for refining formations around the Wei Kingdom, Song Qingming would probably be able to produce several more high-level formations.
This transaction is because according to the estimation of "Luolong Island", the third-level mid-grade "Red Dragon Pill" given by the other party is worth more than the third-level low-grade magic circle in Song Qingming's hand.
Song Qingming therefore compensated the monk who came to the stage to trade with him with five thousand spiritual stones before finally completing the transaction.
Although Song Qingming had handed over an additional 600 spiritual stones to the "Luolong Island" side in two consecutive transactions, he still had a bit of satisfaction on his face when he walked down from the stage. Colorful.
After all, everyone’s luck is limited. It is impossible to get the spiritual objects you want every time you go out. At a trade fair of this level, as long as you can harvest one or two items, Things that are useful to him are considered a worthwhile trip for Song Qingming.
At the subsequent barter conference, the remaining monks, including He Mengxin and others beside Song Qingming, also came on stage and began to exchange what they wanted. However, Song Qingming did not see his favorite spiritual object again until the end. Therefore, I can only become a spectator.
Because Song Qingyu mainly followed Song Qingming, he did not have any spiritual objects that he wanted to trade, so he did not go on stage to quote a price.
However, He Mengxin, who came with her, was lucky. She used an extra magic weapon and some spiritual stones in her hand to exchange for a third-level spiritual fruit that can assist the early stage monks of the Golden Pill to break through. A good deal.
The other two people, Chen Yurong and Liu Cuiyun, also exchanged one or two spiritual objects that were useful to them. Their trip was not in vain, and everyone who participated in the trade fair had gained something.
After participating in the "Luolong Island" trade fair, Song Qingming and the others had already planned to return to Weiguo immediately, so they said goodbye to He Mengxin and others directly, and did not choose to follow them back to "Wanhu" island".
When they parted, He Mengxin took Song Qingyu aside, took out some spiritual stones and other spiritual objects that had been prepared, and asked her to help pass them to Liu Yuxin, who was practicing alone outside.
More than a month has passed since they left Qinghe County. Song Qingming and the other three were also a little concerned about the situation at home. After He Mengxin and others left, they immediately left in a spiritual boat. To Luolong Island. (End of this chapter)
