Chapter 705: On the eve of the grand event
In Tianbao City, Li Qing, who received many invitations to trade fairs, did not pretend to be withdrawn, but participated in each trade fair openly.
“Hahaha, fellow Taoist Wuji, what a pleasure it is to meet you!”
“You are truly an outstanding person, fellow Taoist Wuji’s demeanor is truly extraordinary!”
“ I also visited the Qingling Territory in my early years. I never expected that such a barren land could produce a leader like Taoist Wuji. It is truly extraordinary!”
"."
A series of flattering voices resounded. Everyone wanted to make friends with Li Qing, who could fight the Black Dragon King and suppress the Golden Bear King.
After all, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it is even more difficult to improve your cultivation. After most people try to sit in seclusion for a period of time, they will focus on improving their combat power, or It is beyond longevity.
Force monks like Li Qing, who are highly capable in combat, are the targets of these people’s friendship, and it is impossible to offend them no matter what.
In response to this, Li Qing also responded very politely, with obvious goodwill and without any arrogance.
Such a kind attitude actually made these fellow Nascent Souls even more satisfied.
"You fellow Taoists are ridiculous. I only know a few side tricks and can't stand on the stage." Li Qing waved his hand modestly.
As soon as these words came out, many people stroked their beards and chuckled:
“Hahaha, fellow Taoist, you are too humble, your methods are just unworthy of the publicity. It’s just a small skill, which makes us lose face even more.”
“That’s right, fellow Taoist Wuji should punish himself with three cups of wine!”
"."
It is said to be a trade fair, but in fact it is more like a social circle composed of Nascent Soul Stage monks in this world. Getting to know each other is the primary purpose, and Yi is slightly secondary.
Li Qing is naturally happy to be like this. He has not practiced for a long time, and most of his time has been spent in seclusion in Lingyun Sect. Opportunities like this to make friends with fellow Nascent Soul practitioners are really rare. .
But it is still a trade fair. Before the opening, we talk and laugh, drink a few glasses of precious spiritual wine, and eventually we have to come up with something practical.
The person who organized today's trade fair was a scrawny old Taoist, a local monk from Feng Yuan Domain. His Taoist name was Tu Yuan, and he was known as Tu Yuan Laojun in the cultivation world.
"Haha, thank you fellow Taoists for your compliments. I'll be the one to introduce you to today's trade fair."
As he said that, Mr. Tu Yuan patted a gray-black storage bag on his waist.
"Fellow Taoists, please take a look at this thing!"
As soon as the words fell, a large, delicate snow-silver lock appeared in the hands of Old Lord Tu Yuan.
This lock is filled with crystal brilliance, and there are mysterious patterns imprinted on the surface. The level is extremely high.
Li Qing, who was enjoying the spirit wine, raised his eyebrows and saw the extraordinary Dao patterns on it.
“This is.”
Some people wondered out of curiosity, but they didn’t know the purpose of the lock that Mr. Tu Yuan took out.
Old Lord Tu Yuan stroked his beard and pretended to be mysterious:
"You can hold it in your hands and take a closer look. If you can see the function of this lock, I have the Longquan Spirit." Give me a glass of wine!”
Longquan Spiritual Wine is a well-known spiritual wine in Fengyuan Territory. It not only has a mellow taste, but can also nourish people's soul and blood.
However, it is extremely difficult to brew this kind of spiritual wine, and the elixirs used are extremely precious, and each cup is extremely valuable!
According to legend, some old Longquan spirit wines can be sold for astonishing prices, and even if you have spirit stones, you may not be able to buy them.
Tu Yuan Laojun attained enlightenment earlier, lived a long time, and had a pretty good fortune, so he spent a lot of money, without any sense of pettiness.
This mysterious silver lock was handed over directly for other monks to play with.
The first one to buy was a dwarf who looked like an old naughty boy. His cultivation was naturally at the Nascent Soul stage. His Taoist name was Dongyang Zhenjun, and he was a reclusive monk on an overseas fairy island.
The old naughty boy played with it a lot, and even used his own spiritual power to refine it, but he still didn't realize what the silver lock did.
In desperation, the old naughty boy had to hand the silver lock to the next monk for inspection.
The second person to get the silver lock was a beautiful woman in palace attire. Her temperament was graceful and soft, and her willow eyebrows looked like paintings, which made her facial features extremely graceful.
This female cultivator comes from the Flame Territory, and is called Fairy Yunrou by outsiders. To be able to appear here, she is naturally at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Fairy Yunrou caressed this delicate silver lock with her bare hands. In her hands, this magic weapon of unknown purpose seemed to be quite in line with her temperament.
Unfortunately, Fairy Yunrou never saw the function of this silver lock. She shook her head helplessly and said:
"The Taoist patterns on this lock reveal ancient charm. It should be from ancient times. It’s the thing. As for its function, I didn’t see it.”
As he said this, the silver lock was passed down.
But Mr. Tu Yuan, who was sitting on the main seat, still kept a mysterious smile. He didn’t know when he took out a jade pot and slowly poured a cup of light golden jade liquid out. It’s Longquan Spiritual Wine.
It seems that he planned to give this precious cup of spiritual wine to whoever saw the effect of the silver lock. If no one guessed it, he would enjoy the cup of wine himself.
After reaching this level of cultivation, it is already very difficult to improve, so many Nascent Soul monks put enjoyment first, and this Lord Tu Yuan is obviously one of them.
The silver lock passed through the hands of four people and finally fell into the hands of Li Qing.
As a weapon refiner, Li Qing was naturally curious about this. He put down his wine glass and first examined the material of the silver lock.
“It seems to be smelted from Daluo Silver Essence and some kind of spiritual gold, and the outer layer of jade is like mysterious jade.”
Li Qing whispered to himself, and the characteristics of Da Luo Silver Essence and Xuan Jade emerged in his mind. The former is a special material for destroying evil, while Xuan Jade can warm and nourish a person if worn all year round.
The Dao pattern is indeed an ancient Dao pattern, and Li Qing has not yet identified what type it is.
He poured in spiritual power, but did not notice anything strange.
Just when Li Qing was about to return it, Li Qing suddenly discovered that the flow of colorful life energy in his body seemed to have become sluggish.
These characteristics are somewhat similar to the mixed strange water characteristics of Taiyin True Water and Huangquan River water that he discovered in the Polar Night World before.
In front of everyone, Li Qing said hesitantly: "This lock seems to be able to delay people's aging. Could it be an immortality lock?"
As soon as these words came out, all the monks present looked at it. Tu Yuan Laojun, the latter showed a smile, and then handed a cup of Longquan Spiritual Wine to Li Qing.
"Fellow Taoist Wuji is really sharp-eyed. Yes, this is an immortality lock!"
"This lock can delay the aging of life for 100 to 150 years. I got this lock in my early years and have been wearing it. Now it has lost its effectiveness, so I took it out and wanted to trade it with fellow Taoists. "It can delay the aging of life by one hundred to one hundred years." Fifty years!
As soon as these words came out, everyone present, including Li Qing, was surprised.
Although all those present are monks in the Nascent Soul stage and have lived for more than a thousand years, all of them are old bastards who can live for more than a thousand years.
But no one would think that they have a long life!
With this lock, if you wear it all the time, you can live an extra hundred years, which is really precious!
“Hi! Fellow Taoist Tu Yuan, what do you want to trade for?”
"Giggle, giggle, this concubine's body is also suitable for me. Fellow Taoist Tu Yuan, please tell me your request." Immortal Aunt Yunrou said with a sweet smile.
At this time, Li Qing had returned the Longevity Lock, and he was watching quietly while sipping Longquan Spiritual Wine.
He doesn't need to worry about Shouyuan for the time being, and he doesn't have to pay a price for such an longevity lock, so he can just watch quietly.
"Haha, I want to exchange this lock for a spiritual elixir or elixir that can extend my life for fifty years." Mr. Tu Yuan said leisurely.
This condition was not too unexpected for them. When they live to the age of Tu Yuan Laojun, life extension has indeed become a primary issue.
Soon, the old naughty boy Dongyang Zhenjun said: "Fellow Taoist Tu Yuan, I have an 800-year-old Rehmannia glutinosa plant. I don't know."
Before he finished speaking, Tu Yuan Laojun shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, I have taken rehmannia root once in my early years. The effect of this rehmannia root is useless to me."
"If there are old Lingshou peach or other longevity elixirs, I will Maybe you can think about it.”
Fairy Yunrou, who was a little interested in the longevity lock, said with a flash of eyes: “I can take out a high-quality life-sustaining pill, which can increase your life by twenty. What do you think, Laojun?”
Life-extending pills are a relatively common type of life-extending pills, but most of these types of pills can only be taken during a lifetime. Eat one!
The high-quality life-extending pill can extend your life for twenty years, which is already quite good.
However, Mr. Tu Yuan didn’t take it seriously. He took out such a precious longevity lock in exchange for a panacea or elixir that could extend his life by fifty years.
If it was any less, it would not meet his expectations.
"If you don't have something suitable for trading, then I have no choice but to take this object to the auction event to try your luck." Old Lord Tu Yuan sighed lightly.
The upcoming auction held by Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will naturally receive bids from other monks.
The auction items on the day of the auction will be composed of items submitted by Wanbao Chamber of Commerce itself and other monks. The treasures that can be seen at that time will definitely not be rare.
Tu Yuanlaojun put his hope on the auction event of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
"Alas, it's a pity that I only have one Lingshou peach core. When I first discovered it, the flesh on it had already been bitten off by spiritual insects." A middle-aged monk present shook his head and said.
As soon as these words came out, they attracted the attention of Mr. Tu Yuan. He asked: "Have you ever encountered a Lingshou peach tree?"
"No, it's just a peach tree." It’s just a hollowed-out peach core.”
In the end, the transaction of this silver longevity lock ended in failure. I think I will be able to see this item at the auction event in the near future.
In fact, in small-scale trade fairs like this, it is not uncommon for such transactions to fail. On the contrary, it is quite common.
After all, the scale is limited, and how can a transaction between a few people get everything they want?
Therefore, the greater significance of such a trade fair is to get to know each other, and bartering is secondary.
Of course, there are also examples of successful transactions.
For example, Fairy Yunrou then sincerely took out an 800-year-old elixir. All she needed was a branch of a thousand-year-old spiritual tree.
This deal was easily reached and was acquired by an old naughty boy from an overseas fairy island.
When he arrived at Li Qing's place, he took out a bottle of third-level fire source slurry brewed by the Fire Jade Queen Bee.
"Haha, this is the fire source slurry. The spiritual slurry I got unexpectedly is of the third level."
"You are all well-informed people, so I don't think you need to do this. With more introduction, you can understand the effectiveness of this thing, right?”
With that said, Li Qing put out a jade purification bottle.
When this thing came out, it aroused many people's surprise.
“It’s actually a third-level fire source slurry. This is a spiritual slurry that can only be produced by the third-level Fire Jade Bee Queen!”
“That’s right, for some people who practice fire For monks in the alchemy stage, this product can be compared to some elixirs for improving cultivation."
"Well, I have heard of a kind of spiritual wine that contains fire source pulp as a raw material. , and the higher the level, the better.”
"I wonder what fellow Taoist Wuji wants to exchange for this?"
There was a Yuanying stage monk who practiced the Tao of Fire. Li Qing took it out just to keep it for a thousand years. Just sell the substitute of spiritual milk to the other party.
After all, some of the treasures on his body are not easy to take out and shoot away casually. They are all useful things.
“I would like to exchange this item for a pill that can improve the mana of the Nascent Soul stage, but I guess that’s also a fantasy.”
“If you are interested, you can use the spirit stone on your own. The bid is the one who bids the most.”
Li Qing's attitude was extremely calm. Although the fire source slurry was valuable, it was obviously not comparable to the elixirs that were useful to all Nascent Soul monks.
The purpose of his trip was for Lei Yinzhu, and he did not expect to obtain the elixir to improve his cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage.
Soon, everyone present quoted their price.
In the end, Mr. Tu Yuan paid the price of 9,000 pieces of spiritual stones to pocket the bottle of fire source slurry.
This is the end of this trade fair.
In the following days, Li Qing was either practicing in the attic, participating in trade fairs, or being entertained by banquets hosted by some fellow Nascent Souls.
There are some well-known figures among them, even the old man Tianxing, the master of formations in Yanyu, has become acquainted with Li Qing.
During this period, Nascent Soul stage monks from outside the territory came from time to time. They were also famous figures, or some from powerful forces. For example, Xitian Pavilion in Yunze Territory also sent a Ancestor comes.
This kind of life was quite enjoyable, and it made Li Qing's always steadfast pursuit of the truth loosen a lot.
In this cozy atmosphere, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce’s auction event is finally approaching!
In such an auction event, everyone has a spiritual object that they are determined to get, and everyone is gearing up.
Compared with this, the previous small trade fairs are not even appetizers!
