Chapter 138 Return safely
After several waves of people teleported from the cave left, the minotaur and horse-headed men also took off the bronze masks they had been wearing on their faces, and put them together among the pile of bronze masks that had just been recovered. .
"Old ghost Wu and dwarf Lu who just climbed the mountain seem to be eyeing the young man wearing a bamboo hat." The tauren who was sorting out the pile of masks suddenly said something to the horse-headed man beside him.
The horse-headed man nodded and said: "Now that they have left the mountain, what happens outside is none of our business. We have to be busy for half a month to hold an auction. This time we can finally go back." I’ve been practicing for a while.”
"Fellow Taoist is right. I've had enough of staying in this ghost place with insufficient spiritual energy."
"By the way, what's the name of the young man you just mentioned? Do you remember it?" The horse-headed man seemed to have thought of something again, and he raised his head and asked the tauren again.
"I really forgot about this. I have never seen this person before. It seems that this is his first time attending the auction. I just remember that the identity invitation he took out at that time seemed to have the surname Li. Yes, it was Li. , this surname is somewhat rare, I remember it very clearly." After thinking for a while, the tauren replied seriously.
The horse-headed man nodded again and said: "Let's go back and register this matter with the alliance. That young man has already established a foundation at a young age. He may not be an ordinary casual cultivator. If the suffering master comes to visit us in the future, we can do something about it. Give me an explanation."
"Yes, Fellow Taoist is still thoughtful!"
After the two arranged all the bronze masks, they quickly disappeared into the teleportation array.

One day later, on a road dozens of miles away from Yangshanfang, a mortal caravan with more than a dozen carriages, loaded with a lot of goods, was heading towards Yangshanfang. There were more than a dozen people around the caravan. The guards on horseback are all mortal martial arts masters.
There are basically no monsters near Yangshanfang, but such caravans may still encounter robbers who are also acquired warriors. Therefore, people doing business nearby will hire some martial arts guards to escort the goods. If you encounter something valuable, you will even pay a large price to hire some Qi Refining Stage monks to protect it.
In a carriage at the end of the caravan, Song Qingming, who looked calm, was sitting and talking with a monk in white who was also in the Qi refining stage. There were two steaming teacups on the small table between them. .
"Fellow Daoist Song, this spiritual tea of yours tastes really good. I'm a little embarrassed to say it. I've been out here for decades, and this is the first time I've tasted spiritual tea of this quality. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Song would be so interested in it." I can be so generous."
The white-clothed monk who spoke seemed to be about the same age as Song Qingming, but his cultivation level was far behind him. He had not yet broken through to the late stage of Qi refining. If Song Qingming had not received the help of the residual map, he would probably be similar to him now. .
After hearing the appreciation of the monk in white, Song Qingming smiled slightly, filled another cup for the monk in white, and then said: "I also hit it off with fellow Taoist Fang, so I took out the spiritual tea that I have treasured for many years. It's a pity that I have this on me. If there is good tea next time, I will definitely bring it to Yulou Pavilion and invite fellow Taoists to try it.”
"Fellow Daoist Song is interested, so thank you very much Fang."
One day ago, before the Tiandan Alliance auction ended, Song Qingming, who was in the hall, took the initiative to make a request to the auctioneer through the cat-faced maid waiting nearby that he wanted to use the teleportation array alone immediately.
Although some people had previously exited the hall early after obtaining the required spiritual objects, these people did not leave immediately and stayed in the lounge prepared by the Tiandan Alliance.
This is also because whether they come or leave, the spiritual stones needed to ride the teleportation array are from the Tiandan Alliance. There must be enough people to transfer them away together. Otherwise, if everyone uses the teleportation array once, Tiandan Alliance will The alliance will probably lose money if it holds this auction.
He originally had the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that the Tiandan Alliance did not reject him this time. They just asked him to bear the thirty spiritual stones required for this single teleportation. Therefore, Song Qingming had already arrived half before the end of the auction. Within an hour, he had actually left the auction hall.
There were more than 300 people in the hall. There was one monk missing in the corner, which did not attract the attention of many monks. They thought that Song Qingming, like the previous monks, had exited the hall early and went to the lounge to wait for the auction to end. .
After returning the mask to the Tiandan League monks at the other end of the teleportation array, Song Qingming immediately left the cave and ran for hundreds of miles directly towards Yangshanfang. Finally, he was still more than a hundred miles away from Guyang Mountain. I met this caravan heading to Yangshanfang.
Song Qingming saw that the Yulou Pavilion written on the caravan was exactly a shop he had dealt with in Yangshanfang for the past year. After thinking about it, he decisively chose to join the caravan directly.
Many of the people participating in the auction were foundation-building monks who could fly with swords. It was impossible for him to return to Yangshanfang before them. It would be easy to attract the attention of other monks if he kept running alone. It would be dangerous for the foundation-building monks who participated in the auction.
In contrast, choosing to blend in with the mortal caravan and slowly head towards Yangshanfang would be safer for Song Qingming, who didn't want to attract attention.
The monk in charge of the caravan, named Fang Yan, heard that Song Qingming wanted to take a ride with them to Yangshanfang. After hesitating for a while, he still did not dare to refuse him. He took the initiative to invite him into his car respectfully. After all, he was a cultivator of the ninth level of Qi Refining. If he did not agree, it would not be a wise choice to anger Song Qingming.
Fortunately, Song Qingming was very easy to talk to, and he had contacts with his employer Yulouge. After getting in the car, he not only did not embarrass him, but also generously took out some of his treasured spiritual objects to share with him. In less than half a day, Fang Yan became familiar with Song Qingming who got in the car halfway.
In this way, Song Qingming hid in the car with Fang Yan all the way. Two days later, they returned to Yangshanfang safely. It was not until he stepped into the gate of the market that he breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the tense consciousness in the past few days.
After saying goodbye to the Taoist Fang who sent him back to Yangshanfang, Song Qingming immediately returned to the cave he rented.
Although he spent a lot of spirit stones this time, he finally got the spiritual objects for foundation building that he urgently needed recently.
One marrow cleansing pill and one foundation building pill were already prepared. Looking at the two spiritual pills that he had obtained with great difficulty this time, Song Qingming's eyes were full of excitement. He almost shouted out loud in his cave. Now all the spiritual objects for foundation building were available. Next, he would devote all his energy to preparing for foundation building.
