Chapter 27 Guiyunfang
Two days later, outside a square blue brick town, Song Qingming and his party were queuing up to enter the city.
Guiyunfang is indeed the largest city in northern Xinjiang. Even the Qi refining monks guarding the city gate have advanced Qi refining skills, and there is also a giant level three mechanism beast to assist in defense. Such combat power is The foundation-building monks in the team did not dare to come out and cause trouble casually.
Everyone queued up obediently and had their identities checked by the guard monks one by one before they could enter the city. When it was Song Qingming's turn, the checking monk glanced at him and saw that he was not the vicious gangsters on the reward list in the city. After receiving a spiritual stone, he was released.
Unlike other markets, Guiyunfang can be entered and exited at will. Only merchants who are resident in the market or monks who have rented a cave in Guiyun Mountain can enter and exit the market for free after obtaining a pass token issued by the market. , everyone else has to pay a spirit stone to enter the market. For this alone, Xiaoyao Sect can easily collect hundreds of spirit stones every day.
"Fellow Daoist Song, you are very skilled. I wonder if you are interested in living in Guiyunfang permanently. Next time we will go out to hunt monsters together."
During the battle in the previous two days, Shi Chun saw that although Song Qingming's cultivation level was not high, his fighting ability was not weak, and his magical weapons were also very sophisticated, so he started to win over him.
Song Qingming had already seen what he meant along the way, and after pretending to think for a while, he responded: "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoist Shi, but my cave is in Qinghe County, and I rarely come to the Fuyun Mountains to hunt monsters. This time I came to Guiyunfang just for the purpose." I want to buy some cultivation resources on the way, and I will be leaving soon. If I have the chance to come to Guiyunfang to make a living, please don’t dislike me, Brother Shi."
Seeing that Song Qingming did not agree, Shi Chun had expected it. After all, Song Qingming's cave was not in Guiyunfang, so he nodded, then gave Song Qingming a place for them to stay, and led everyone to say goodbye to Song Qingming.
This is the first time Song Qingming has come to a large-scale market like Guiyunfang. This market seems to be more than ten times larger than the Qinghefang he has been to before. A small market like Qinghefang is different from the Song family's Mujiao Town. It's about the same size, with a total of only dozens of shops on one street.
Just one street in Guiyunfang was larger than the entire city of Qinghefang. Looking at the street in front of him, which was more than twice as wide as Qinghefang, Song Qingming also felt a little emotional.
Guiyunfang is built on a third-level spiritual vein. At the foot of Guiyun Mountain, it is the largest city in the northern part of the Wei Kingdom. On the spiritual vein Guiyun Mountain behind this city, there are thousands of cultivation caves alone. On the top of the mountain, there is an Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect who is guarding the mountain all the year round. In addition, there is a third-level mountain guarding formation covering the entire Lingshan and Fang City. Even if two or three ordinary monks of the Dange Stage attack, it will be difficult for them to attack in a short time. Break the formation inside.
This is also one of the few large-scale gathering places for casual cultivators in the Wei Kingdom. After all, you only need to spend a dozen spirit stones here to rent a cave with abundant spiritual energy all year round. You can practice peacefully in the rented cave without any hassle. You are worried that anyone would dare to disturb you. After all, you have spent spiritual stones, and Guiyunfang must ensure the tranquility of these rented caves.
It is forbidden for monks to fight and cause trouble in Guiyunfang. There is a law enforcement team led by Foundation Establishment monks all year round, working in shifts day and night, constantly patrolling the entire Lingshanfang City. Since the city was established for more than a thousand years, few monks dare to cause trouble here. Even if you have an enemy hiding in this city, if you want to take revenge, you can only wait for him to take the initiative to leave this city.
After entering Fangshi and feeling the spiritual energy concentration of this genuine third-level spiritual vein, Song Qingming finally saw the difference between Qinghe County and this place, and he couldn't help but have the idea of staying here to practice for a long time.
However, he quickly shook his head and realized that he didn't have much time to stay here now. He had been separated from his clan for more than half a month. After taking care of his belongings, he still had to return to Funiu Mountain as soon as possible to avoid disturbing the clan members. The elders have always been worried about themselves.
With a treasure like Water Spirit Fruit in his possession, Song Qingming didn't dare to stay in this crowded market. He walked around the streets for more than half an hour before he found a small shop that he thought was suitable. It's called Lingbao Pavilion.
Before entering, Song Qingming took out a bamboo hat that he had prepared for a long time from his storage bag and put it on his head. After looking at most of his face that was covered, he slowly walked into the store with satisfaction.
The reason why I like this shop is that compared to other shops in the market, most of the people who come in and out of this shop are monks in the early and middle stages of Qi refining. It seems that this shop only deals in low-level first-level spiritual items. , no high-level monks will come here, which makes Song Qingming very relieved.
Compared to monks in the Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment monks have advanced cultivation and vast magical powers. Their spiritual consciousness is several times that of Qi Refining Stage monks. They can easily release their spiritual consciousness to detect people around them. This has always made Song Qingming worried.
As soon as he entered the store, an old man in white came quickly and said with a smooth smile: "What kind of treasure does this fellow Taoist want? Our store has elixirs, talismans, utensils, and arrays."
This old man in white clothes turned out to be a late-stage Qi-refining monk. He was a little surprised that a late-stage Qi-refining monk would be so polite to a monk with a lower level of cultivation.
Song Qingming was in Qinghefang, but he had never seen such a scene. In the shops in Qinghefang, all the people doing this kind of work were mortals, and it was rare for monks to come out to entertain guests with average cultivation levels like him.
Song Qingming lowered his head, trying not to let the other party see his face clearly, and said softly: "I have a few magic weapons that I am anxious to get rid of. I don't know if your family will accept them."
The old man in white was slightly startled after hearing this, and immediately said: "I still need you to follow me to the back hall to check the quality of the things first. As long as the quality is good, I will accept it. Our store not only recycles magic weapons, elixirs, and spiritual talismans." We will recycle it like other spiritual objects, but the price is naturally lower than that of a brand-new magic weapon. However, fellow Taoist believers, you can rest assured that our store has always been fair and does not trace its origin. "
Song Qingming nodded after hearing this. The price for recycling these old used magic weapons with unknown origins in the market is naturally about 10% or 20% lower. Seeing that he didn't want to reveal his origins, the old man quickly said that he would take action here. Absolutely safe.
Then he followed the old man to a small, remote room in the shop. After the two sat down, two mortal servants immediately came forward and offered two cups of spiritual tea. Song Qingming ignored the fragrant spiritual tea and got straight to the point. He took out Liu Tianlong's magical weapons from the storage bag and placed them on the desk in front of the old man in white.
The old man in white took a sip of tea, picked up these magical weapons, tried them one by one, and nodded with satisfaction.
"A top-grade flying sword costs eighty spiritual stones, two medium-grade magic weapons together cost forty-five spiritual stones, and these three magic weapons together, fellow Taoist, cost one hundred and twenty-five spiritual stones. This is what our store can provide. It’s the highest price. If fellow Taoist agrees, I’ll have someone prepare the spiritual stone right away.”
The old man shouted out a list of prices, squinted his eyes, and looked at Song Qingming. Song Qingming also knew that the price was indeed not high, so he could still accept it. He didn't say anything more, nodded and continued.
"Okay, I still have a few bottles of elixirs here. Take a look. If you accept them too, I'll sell them to you together."
The old man in white saw Song Qingming taking out several jade bottles. He opened them and smelled them, then put them down. He said a few polite words and asked Song Qingming to wait for a moment. The old man in white went out and called out a middle-aged man. The monk comes in.
The middle-aged monk seemed to be an alchemist in this shop. After looking at these bottles of elixirs for a while, he said: "Fellow Taoist, your bottle of Jade Dew Pills is a high-grade elixir that can improve mana. This store will recycle it." A bottle contains fifty spirit stones. These bottles are ordinary spirit beast pills and can only be used to raise underage spirit beasts. This store will not accept them. "
After Song Qingming heard the origins of these bottles of elixirs, he also made a calculation in his mind. It was impossible for him to sell them the Jade Dew Pills that could improve his magic power at a discount like the few magic weapons just now, and the other bottles of useless elixirs. If you don’t accept it, you can only let it go.
"Since you don't want them all, let's forget about the elixir first and just give me the spiritual stone of the magic weapon."
The middle-aged monk heard Song Qingming's reply and walked out angrily. The old man in white refused to give up and continued to negotiate the price with Song Qingming. Seeing that Song Qingming really refused to sell the bottle of Jade Dew Pill, he started to sell him the ones in the store again. Other items.
"Fellow Taoist, I am here to buy magic weapons in exchange for other cultivation resources. There is no need to purchase magic weapons for the time being. Otherwise, why would I sell this magic weapon?"
"Fellow Taoist, the magical instruments in our shop are not comparable to those of ordinary small shops."
A quarter of an hour later, despite the "patient" recommendation of the old man in white, Song Qingming still bought a bottle of elixir here against his will, then picked up the remaining spiritual stones from the magic weapon he had just sold, and walked out of Lingbao Pavilion.
