Chapter 63 New Captain
Half a month later, in a small shop in Guiyunfang, a fat and smiling shopkeeper was approaching Song Qingming, who came to buy a magical weapon, and desperately recommended a white middle-grade flying sword in his shop.
"Fellow Daoist, this Yunlong Sword is the best middle-grade flying sword in my shop. If you are still not satisfied, I can only take you to see other high-grade flying swords."
"Alas, I don't have many spiritual stones with me this time, so I can only buy a medium-grade magic weapon first. But this flying sword sells for thirty-five spiritual stones, and the price is still a bit too expensive. Can the boss make it cheaper? Order." Song Qingming sat on the wooden chair in the store and negotiated the price with the store owner, hoping to save a few spiritual stones.
Although he has accumulated hundreds of spirit stones in the past few years, he does not lack these two or three spirit stones. However, Song Qingming, who has been poor since he was a child, has become accustomed to saving every spirit stone diligently and going out to buy various kinds of spirit stones. When buying supplies, I often lose face and bargain with others for one or two spiritual stones.
Over the years of practicing Taoism, the only time when he was more energetic was when he first came to Guiyunfang. In order to buy the high-grade magic weapon Taixu Sword, he spent all of his one hundred and fifty in one go. A spiritual stone.
Although he was arrogant on the spot and gained some face, he still regretted not bargaining with the two people afterwards, maybe he could have saved one or twenty spiritual stones.
This was also the only time in his many years of practice that he didn't take the spirit stone seriously for something he wanted. Every time he thought about it, he smiled bitterly.
"Fellow Daoist, the thirty-five spiritual stones I mentioned are already a lot less for you. You have also seen the quality of this flying sword. It was not used to refine this magical weapon. The best white jade crystals are originally sold for forty spiritual stones in the store. You can't let me do business at a loss." The fat boss shook his fat body and continued to follow with a look of embarrassment. Song Qingming explained.
After finally paying the fat boss thirty-two spiritual stones, Song Qingming bought this medium-grade magic weapon and walked out of the shop with the boss saying goodbye with a smile on his face.
After returning to the Feiyun Guards' station in Guiyunfang, Song Qingming's team of Feiyun Guards was unable to go out to perform tasks in a short period of time, so they got a period of vacation, and Song Qingming also began to have a relatively leisurely time.
In the past half month, Song Qingming, who lives in Fangshi, has once again visited various stores in Guiyunfang, inquiring about news about Bailong Mountain while purchasing various supplies to prepare for the next tasks.
But after almost running through Guiyunfang, Song Qingming didn't get any useful information. Whether it was the boss or the clerk, when they heard the three words Bailong Mountain, they all acted evasive and shook their heads.
Fortunately, he successfully purchased a lot of useful supplies this time, and also bought a lot of materials for making talismans. When he goes out to perform tasks, he can also make talismans in exchange for some spiritual stones when he has free time.
Nowadays, as his cultivation level is getting higher and higher, there are more and more places where he needs to spend spiritual stones. Now that he is away from home, he needs to use spiritual stones to purchase spiritual rice, elixirs, magic weapons and other aspects.
Even if he doesn't eat or drink, and lives in Guiyunfang, he still has to hand in two spiritual stones to the city manager every month.
Fortunately, Song Qingming returned from this mission. As a reward for completing the mission, plus the compensation achievements promised by Liu Xingfeng, Song Qingming received a total of more than forty spiritual stones.
In addition, he and Feng Laogui went to hunt a high-level monster and received more than 20 spirit stones. In this trip of almost three months, Song Qingming earned a total of nearly 70 spirit stones. .
After deducting his damaged Fierce Sun Sword and the dozen or so spiritual talismans he used, he still had a net income of thirty spiritual stones. This was much more than what he earned from being stationed in Lingyuan Mountain for a year. After seeing the success, The pile of spiritual stones went into the storage bag, and Song Qingming felt much happier.
Although it seems that Song Qingming has earned a lot of spiritual stones this time, it is also because the tasks performed by Feiyunwei are indeed more dangerous, and higher income also comes with greater dangers.
Going deep into the Fuyun Mountains and exploring the territory of unknown monsters, it is often easy to encounter some unimaginable dangers. Just like this time, among the sixteen monks in their eleven guards, only the one who finally returned to Guiyunfang intact Half done.
After experiencing this dangerous mission, on the way back to Guiyunfang, Song Qingming once thought of quitting Feiyun Guard. However, after returning to Guiyunfang, he received the inspiration for this mission at Feiyun Guard Station. After seeing the stone, he quickly gave up the idea.
Song Qingming also knew in his heart that it was an accident for the Eleven Guards to encounter a demon cultivator on this mission. Even if he chose not to join the Feiyun Guards and went into the Fuyun Mountains alone to hunt demons, if he had bad luck, , there is also a high possibility that they will encounter demon cultivators like Gu Liangshan who are arresting fellow casual cultivators.
Even if Song Qingming has a few life-saving high-grade spiritual talismans, if he encounters a demon cultivator at the peak of Qi refining like Guliang Mountain, the chance of him escaping will not be very high. There is a high probability that he will be as confused as Hu Daozhen and others. In a daze, he was captured by the demon cultivators and the others, and he sacrificed and refined the magic weapon, and died in the vast Fuyun Mountains.
Since he was here for training, if he turned around and left immediately if he encountered any danger, he might as well return to Funiu Mountain as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he slowly accepted the fact that a monk's pursuit of Taoism is a combination of opportunity and danger. If he hadn't encountered a bandit cultivator, he would not have had the opportunity to obtain the treasure that allowed him to turn around.
Seeing several foundation-building cultivators from Xiaoyao Sect appear in the camp, Song Qingming and his companions gradually learned some news.
This group of demon cultivators has now exposed their whereabouts, and Xiaoyao Sect has sent a large number of cultivators to search for them. If they are smart enough, they must have escaped from the Floating Cloud Mountains.
Otherwise, if so many foundation-building cultivators find their whereabouts, even if Yang Wuqi has refined the magic knife, he will definitely be doomed.
Just yesterday, Song Qingming had received news from Feiyun Guard that they would go to the Floating Cloud Mountains again in three days.
After receiving this news, Song Qingming hurried to the market to purchase all the magic weapons he was missing. This time, with enough time, he was finally fully prepared.
After coming out of the store, Song Qingming strolled around the market for a long time before slowly returning to the Guiyunfang station in the east of the market.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the gate of the station, he heard the monks guarding the station tell him that the eleven guards had gathered, and Song Qingming hurried to the gathering place in the backyard of the Feiyun Guard station.
When he arrived at the backyard, Song Qingming saw that more than a dozen monks had gathered in the courtyard, and they were gathered in groups of three or four to discuss something.
Song Qingming looked at the scene. In addition to the original six monks of the Eleven Guards, including Jia Sixing, there were also several monks wearing Taoist robes of the Xiaoyao Sect. These monks looked relatively young, and there was a hint of arrogance in their eyes when they looked at Song Qingming and other monks.
After approaching and chatting with several monks he knew, he learned that these monks were also disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect who came to Guiyunfang to train, and they were probably going to go to the Floating Cloud Mountains with them this time.
After more than half an hour, fifteen or sixteen monks had gathered in the courtyard, and a woman in red came out of the courtyard.
When everyone saw the person coming, including Song Qingming, there was a hint of surprise on their faces.
This woman in red was Xu Ziyan, the senior sister of Gao Yuyao who had talked with them in the Floating Cloud Mountains a month ago.
During the battle with the demon cultivators that day, it was the two of them and Liu Xingfeng who arrived in time to save the lives of Song Qingming and his group. In a way, she was also a life saver to Song Qingming and his group.
After Xu Ziyan walked in, she looked at everyone and said softly: "Dear fellow Taoists, since Senior Brother Lu, the captain of the 11th Guard, has returned to the sect to heal his injuries, after the master and several senior uncles discussed, I will temporarily take over the position of the captain of the 11th Guard."
