Chapter 14 Gao Yuyao
Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to have recognized him, Qin Zhen looked at the wooden sign in front of the stall and continued, "I see that your sign says you need elixirs. I happen to know a good friend who often sells elixirs, but he doesn't want anything else, just spirit stones. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Fellow Daoist Qin, I am here to help my clan collect elixirs to improve their cultivation. If someone can provide them for a long time, that would be great, and it would save my family from going to the market to buy them often."
It turned out that he was a cultivator from a nearby family. No wonder he was so young, but he could sell dozens of talismans at every gathering. It turned out that most of these talismans were made by the elders of his clan.
Elixir, a scarce cultivation resource, is basically controlled by major cultivation families in Qinghe County. Most of them have a complete inheritance of elixir recipes based on the accumulation of several generations, and it is easier for them to cultivate alchemists than casual cultivators.
Even if there are a few talented people among the independent cultivators who have obtained some alchemy inheritance through their own opportunities and become alchemists, if they want to obtain more recipes to improve their alchemy level, they can only choose to join them and become the worshippers of these immortal cultivation families, helping them to make pills for a lifetime.
Qinghefang, the only market in Qinghe County, was jointly established by the large and small immortal cultivation families in Qinghe County. The pills made by independent cultivators in Qinghefang cannot compete with these immortal cultivation families.
Of course, there are still some alchemists who are unwilling to collude with these immortal cultivation families and choose other ways of survival, but the pills they make can generally only appear in these small gatherings.
The pills sold here are generally cheaper than those sold in the market. It is common for nearby immortal cultivation families to come here to purchase pills for the sake of a few spirit stones. "
After listening to Song Qingming's words, Qin Zhen was relieved and said, "I said that you are so young, why do you need so many pills? It turns out that you are purchasing for your family. "
"If you can introduce a way, you can buy talismans from me in the future at a 10% discount on the market price, is that okay?"
After saying that, Song Qingming took out a few of this person's favorite Qingxin Talismans from the pile of talismans in front of him and stuffed them into Qin Zhen's hands.
"It's okay, it's okay. After the meeting, please wait for me here for a while. "
Seeing that Song Qingming was so sensible, Qin Zhen happily agreed. A casual cultivator like him often hangs out in various gatherings. In addition to going out to adventure and hunt monsters, he can only rely on buying and selling some information in the market to exchange for some cultivation resources.
Not long after Qin Zhen left, a beautiful woman with a veil came to Song Qingming's stall.
This woman had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, white teeth and red lips. She was wearing a light pink palace dress, with an exquisite figure. The hem of her skirt was embroidered with light blue butterflies that were about to spread their wings and fly. She was covered with a layer of white gauze. Her cultivation was a little higher than Song Qingming's, and she had reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Song Qingming had been in Caolu Mountain for several months. This was the first time he had seen such a stunning female cultivator. He couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
After stopping in front of Song Qingming's stall, the person carefully looked at the sign on the table of the stall. After thinking for a while, he said, "Will you take the medium-grade silver leaf grass? "
Song Qingming only felt the sound, which was as clear and pleasant as a wind chime. After coming to his senses, he quickly replied: "I won't accept the middle-grade ones, but the lower-grade ones are fine."
Silverleaf grass is also one of the spiritual herbs needed to make blank talismans, but Song Qingming is only a lower-grade talisman maker now, and it is a bit of a waste to use the middle-grade materials. He doesn't have many spiritual stones, so he naturally won't waste them to buy this.
The pink-clothed woman saw Song Qingming's refusal, and showed some displeasure on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she said: "I still have some lower-grade elixirs that can improve cultivation. Can I exchange them for all the Qingxin talismans on your table?"
"Elixirs that can improve cultivation? Show me which kind it is first." Song Qingming was a little surprised when he heard that the woman wanted to exchange pills for his talismans. He didn't know what strange wind blew today. In the past, few people in this market took pills to exchange for talismans. How come he met two people who could exchange pills today? After listening to Song Qingming's words, the pink-clothed woman did not answer. She took out a small bottle and put it on the table. He took the purple bottle handed over by the other party, opened the jade bottle, poured out a pill, and lowered his head to carefully identify the medicinal properties. "This is the "Yangqi Pill"." Song Qingming took out a small bottle of his own and put three pills in it. He put the remaining pills in the bottle and the ten or so Qingxin Talismans on the table in front of the other party. "Your Yangqi Pill is about three spirit stones on the market. My dozen talismans are only worth three pills of yours. If you agree, we will exchange. "
The pink-clothed woman nodded without hesitation and quickly put away the pills and talismans. She looked at Song Qingming and turned away.
After completing this business, Song Qingming's good luck seemed to have run out. He never encountered such a good opportunity to exchange pills again.
On the contrary, the sales of the talismans he put out have been very stable. He sold most of them in a day and received some materials for making talismans. Only the black stone that Uncle Jiu left with him remained untouched and no one was interested in it.
——
At dusk, the sun was setting in the west. On the west side of Caolu Mountain, Song Qingming looked at the person who sold pills introduced by Qin Zhen and smiled bitterly.
The familiar figure in front of him was the pink-clothed woman who exchanged pills for talismans with him today, but he didn't think that the woman would sell the remaining pills at that time.
It's a pity for those Qingxin talismans that he made with great effort.
The pink-clothed woman still wore the white veil. Although Song Qingming never saw the woman's face clearly, he quickly confirmed from the clothes she was wearing that she was the stunning woman he traded with half a day ago.
The woman in pink clothes was a little surprised when she saw Song Qingming and asked Qin Zhen: "Fellow Daoist Qin, is this the person you said you wanted to buy the elixir?"
"Xianzi Gao, this is Taoist Fellow Song and a monk from a nearby family. He has a pretty good reputation in Caolu Mountain. This time he comes to purchase some elixirs for the elders in the family."
Qin Zhen seemed to be somewhat respectful to this woman, and his tone was full of fear that she would not be satisfied with Song Qingming as the trading partner.
The woman in pink clothes heard Qin Zhen's introduction and asked Song Qingming again.
"Are you from the Song family in Funiu Mountain?"
"Funiu Mountain, Song Family, Song Qingming."
When Song Qingming saw that this woman knew where he came from immediately, and thought she was someone who had been cultivating here all year round, he didn't hide it anymore and spoke his name generously.
After hearing Song Qingming's answer, the woman in pink thought for a while, and finally seemed to make up her mind and threw a yellow bag towards Qin Zhen.
After Qin Zhen took the bag, he opened it and took a look. He nodded towards the two of them happily and left quickly.
It wasn't until Qin Zhen walked out of the sight of the two of them that the woman in white slowly spoke: "I wonder, Fellow Daoist Song, what kind of pills do you need?"
"Elixirs like Qi-nourishing pills that can increase mana are all needed. The more, the better."
"I just want spiritual stones and nothing else."
"That's natural."
After speaking, the woman in pink clothes took out several identical purple jade bottles and put them into Song Qingming's hands. Song Qingming took them and saw that the three bottles were all the Qi Nourishing Pills that he had dreamed of. He looked shocked and couldn't help but have more suspicions about the woman in pink clothes. .
To be able to take out so many Qi-nourishing pills at one time, this woman's alchemy level must be very high. She is not comparable to a junior alchemist like the second sister. She is at least a middle-level alchemist. There are not many such people in Qinghe County. .
"My elixirs are all of high quality. If you want a whole bottle, I will save you two spiritual stones."
Song Qingming nodded in agreement. After accepting a bottle of elixir, he took out a bag of spiritual stones and handed it to the woman.
"I came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring many spirit stones with me. I only need one bottle today. For the rest of the next month, you can find me at the place where we last gathered. I will come here to set up a stall every month. As long as the quality is guaranteed, I will Long-term acquisitions are possible here.”
"As long as you have spirit stones, the quality of the elixirs I refine is guaranteed. However, if you want long-term cooperation, I have one more request."
"Fairy, please speak."
"You can't reveal the deal between us to your tribe. This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
Song Qingming was a little puzzled by the strange request of the woman in pink, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe her alchemy inheritance came from Qinghefang, so she didn't want the monks in the family to know her identity.
"Can!"
Compared to her, Song Qingming didn't want his clan to know the secret of how he earned spiritual stones. For him, the most important thing was that he could steadily obtain pills to improve his cultivation.
At most, he only dared to take some of these elixirs to the family's Golden Pavilion in exchange for talisman-making materials. If he took them all, the fourth elder asked him where he got the spiritual stones to purchase the elixirs. How could he tell clearly that in the Song family? In the eyes of other tribesmen, he only has twenty or thirty spiritual stones on his body.
The woman in pink clicked on the spirit stone, put it into her storage bag with satisfaction, and was about to leave.
"Dare you ask the fairy for her name?"
"Gao Yuyao."
