Chapter 220 Trade Fair
After incorporating alchemy, the Bingluan Sword was indeed several times sharper than before, which made Xiao Lin very satisfied. The seven thousand low-grade spirit stone flowers were quite worth it.
The five-year lease of the cave was coming soon. Xiao Lin looked at the wall of the secret room. After thinking about some tea, Xiao Lin stood up and left the cave.
Xiao Lin extended the lease of the cave for another year, and then wandered around the Southern Wilderness Fairy City.
In his opinion, practicing in this Southern Wilderness Fairy City is not bad, and it is no different from what he did in Dancao Mountain. Besides, he has offended that woman Liu Mei, and if he goes back now, he might be in some trouble.
Based on his current cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building, even if he encounters Liu Mei, Xiao Lin estimates that even if he still cannot defeat her, it will not be a problem to escape.
The only person Xiao Lin was afraid of was the Jin Dan Patriarch behind Liu Mei.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Xiao Lin decided not to leave the Southern Wilderness Fairy City for the time being. Besides, he also wanted to find the whereabouts of the Green Tan Green Fruit. He had all the materials for refining the Qi Yuan Pill except the Green Tan Green Fruit.
However, he visited many shops, but still couldn't find the Bi Tan Qing Guo for sale.
On this day, Xiao Lin was wandering around the fairy city. He just came out of a large shop and still found nothing. This made Xiao Lin a little depressed. Is it possible that there is no such green sandalwood fruit in the entire Southern Wasteland fairy city?
These days, Xiao Lin wanders around the fairy city during the day and hides in the cave to practice at night.
Through this period of understanding, Xiao Lin also roughly understood that although Ruanzhou belonged to the sphere of influence of the ancient Xuanzong, it was also within the sphere of influence of a secular country called Yan State, but it was the same as the Tianlu Mountains.
There is not much overlap between the mortals in the Yan Kingdom and the cultivators within the ancient Xuanzong's sphere of influence. However, unlike the five major sects in the Tianlu Mountains, the ancient Xuanzong has established Eternal Colleges in secular countries to absorb secular middlemen. Those who have spiritual roots.
Therefore, in this secular country, many mortals probably know the existence of cultivators. However, unless they are truly discovered to have the potential to cultivate immortality in the Eternal Academy, they will be secretly arranged to be guided into the Eternal Academy in major immortal cities to practice without any qualifications. Most of them were taught secular martial arts, and after a few years they were sent out of the academy to serve in the imperial court.
Nanhuang Fairy City is a relatively large fairy city in Ruanzhou. The thorough investigation of the identity of monks in the fairy city is relatively loose, but for those few big fairy cities, Gu Xuanzong's control is stricter.
The monks who enter the city must check their origins to prevent them from being infiltrated by people from the Black Demon Sect, which may lead to some unpredictable consequences.
After understanding this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but secretly sigh at his luck. Although he was not a member of the Black Demon Sect, he was not really within the sphere of influence of the Ancient Xuan Sect. However, he did not know that the five major sects in the Tianlu Mountains and the Ancient Xuan Sect What is the relationship between ?
When Xiao Lin was chatting with some casual cultivators, he made some insinuations and asked them if they knew about the five major sects in the Tianlu Mountains. However, those people all had blank faces and shook their heads.
It just means that for thousands of years, several sects that originally existed in the entire Ruanzhou realm have been annexed or annihilated by the Ancient Xuanzong. Now, except for some cultivation families affiliated with the Ancient Xuanzong, no other forces exist in the entire Ruanzhou.
"It seems that this is not a place for me to stay for a long time." Xiao Lin muttered to himself, and already planned to leave the Southern Wilderness Fairy City and return to the Tianlu Mountains if he still couldn't find the Bi Tan Qing Guo after a while.
"Senior, you want to buy some rare items, but you are troubled because you can't find them?"
A voice attracted Xiao Lin's attention. Xiao Lin couldn't help but turn around and see a monk in a gray cloth gown standing next to him. He had a beardless face and a head full of messy hair. He was holding a green bamboo staff and his cultivation level was only The third level of Qi refining.
Seeing this person, Xiao Lin couldn't help but frown: "Who are you?"
The man immediately replied with a smile on his face: "Junior Li Si has been observing the senior for a long time, and seeing the senior coming and going in a few large shops in a hurry, what do you want to find? Of course, it is nothing more than materials and methods. Li Si has been cultivating in this fairy city in the Southern Wilderness for more than thirty years, including weapons, elixirs, talismans, etc. I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to his understanding of this fairy city, I am afraid no one can match it. "
"Do you know what I'm looking for?" Xiao Lin glanced at Li Si coldly and said lightly, with obvious displeasure in his tone. He was being followed by a low-level Qi Refining monk and would not let anyone go. He would be happy, but this also made Xiao Lin secretly blame himself for being too careless. He must be cautious in this fairy city.
"Senior, please don't be angry. Li Si has no ill intentions. Moreover, although Li Si treats the Southern Wilderness Fairy City as his own courtyard, he does not have the ability to predict the future. Naturally, he does not know what senior is looking for?"
"Oh? Then you blocked my way, are you relying on the ban on fighting in this fairy city?" Xiao Lin said in a deep voice.
When Li Si heard this, he was startled, his face turned pale with fright, and he waved his hand hurriedly: "Senior, please calm down. With the senior cultivation level, trying to kill Li is no different from trampling an ant to death. The reason why Li Si The reason he had the courage to block the senior's path was because Li Si knew that there would be a trade fair among foundation-building monks tonight, and he thought that senior could find the items he needed at this trade fair. "
"Trade fair?" Xiao Lin was slightly startled. He had participated in "auctions" several times, but this was the first time he heard of this trade fair.
Seeing Xiao Lin's expression, Li Si naturally felt contempt in his heart, but there was no change in his face. He smiled and said: "The so-called trade fair is when a group of monks gather together, and everyone takes out some items to carry out the trade fair." It’s easier to get what you want by doing an on-site transaction than at an auction.”
"Is there such a place?" Xiao Lin showed an expression of interest on his face, but his vigilance did not relax. But if it was really like what Li Si said in front of him, then he really wanted to see it.
And in Xiao Lin's opinion, with Li Si's level of cultivation, he shouldn't have the guts to pay attention to him.
"Hehe, Li Si has the guts to block fellow Taoist's way, so he must be telling the truth. Otherwise, even if Li Si had the courage, he would not dare to tease a senior who is in the foundation building stage. But if the senior participated in the trade fair and came back with a full load, At that time, he rewarded Li Si with a few low-grade spiritual stones as payment for running errands, and Li Si was satisfied. "
Hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile on his face. This guy was just a guide, and he used it to collect some guiding fees. From this point of view, the trade fair he said was somewhat credible.
"But I wonder who are the people participating in this trade fair?" Xiao Lin thought for a moment and asked again. In his opinion, if the monks participating in this trade fair are all cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, then he has no It's necessary to waste time.
Li Si had been living in the Southern Wilderness Fairy City for thirty years and was already a human spirit, so he naturally understood the meaning of Xiao Lin's words.
"Senior, please rest assured. This trade fair is organized by a descendant of the Jin Dan Ancestor who guards this Southern Wilderness Fairy City. There are two types of trade fairs. One is a trade fair attended by monks in the Qi Refining Period, and the other is The kind is a trade fair attended by seniors in the foundation building period.”
"The trade fair held tonight is exactly the trade fair held once a year for seniors in the Foundation Establishment stage. Moreover, not only those who are in the Foundation Establishment stage can participate, but also need the introduction of an acquaintance."
Xiao Lin frowned slightly when he heard this. He was alone in this Southern Wilderness Fairy City. Where did he find his relatives and friends?
"Senior, don't worry. Since Li Si told senior about the trade fair, he can naturally guarantee that senior can participate."
"Tell me about it." Xiao Lin glanced at this kid. Every time Li Si spoke, he only spoke in half sentences, trying to trick him step by step. Although Xiao Lin knew that he was just using this method to show off his participation in the trade fair. It's not easy, so I just asked for more spiritual stones, but it still made Xiao Lin a little unhappy.
"Junior happens to know a senior who is unable to attend this trade fair due to important matters. Therefore, he wants to transfer the token certificate for participating in the trade fair. He only needs thirty low-grade spiritual stones."
After taking a peek around, Li Si took out a dark token from his arms like a thief and whispered to Xiao Lin.
"You're not selling tokens, are you?" Xiao Lin had a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold.
"Of course not." Li Si was startled by Xiao Lin's eyes and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This token to participate in the trade fair was indeed sold by a senior to a junior. Even if Li Si has a hundred courages, he can't do it." Don’t dare to deceive your seniors. "
"Okay, you can lead the way. As long as I really get the items I need, the spirit stone will naturally not be missing from you." After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin said.
Hearing this, Li Si's face showed a look of joy.
"Senior, please come with Li Si."
Xiao Lin followed Li Si and walked in the fairy city for more than half an hour before stopping in a remote alley in the east of the city.
At the end of the alley was a stone gate, and outside the stone gate, there were two people standing. When Xiao Lin saw the blue fish scale shirt on one of them, his expression changed slightly, but he soon regained his indifferent expression.
The two came to the stone gate. Li Si walked over and whispered a few words in front of the two.
Xiao Lin saw Li Si secretly stuffing a few spiritual stones into their hands. After a while, Li Si came to Xiao Lin again, took out the black token and handed it to Xiao Lin. .
Xiao Lin casually threw a cloth bag containing thirty low-grade spiritual stones to Li Si and said, "Just wait here. When I come out, I will naturally pay you for leading the way."
After saying that, without waiting for Li Si's answer, Xiao Lin headed towards the stone gate. After handing the token to the two people in front of the door, Xiao Lin entered the stone gate.
After entering the stone gate and passing through a short dark corridor, Xiao Lin entered a hall.
The entire hall was as bright as day, surrounded by dozens of chairs and four square tables in the middle.
At this moment, the chairs were almost full of people. Xiao Lin looked around, found an empty chair and sat on it.
At this moment, Xiao Lin looked like a short, thin and ugly man in his forties, and he believed that most of the people who came to this trade fair were not their true colors.
Most of the people were closing their eyes and concentrating, and a few of them were whispering to some familiar people. However, most of these people's conversations used secret transmission techniques, so others could not hear what they were talking about.
