Chapter 394: Sword Competition
Hearing the monks sitting nearby talking, Song Qingming immediately knew that the big man above him was the ancestor of the Ma family in Tiexian Valley.
The Ma family of Tie Xian Valley is indeed a relatively special existence in the Wei Kingdom. Since the previous generation of Ma family masters successfully formed elixirs hundreds of years ago, although the Ma family publicly announced that they were still attached to the Xiaoyao sect, in their life Xiaoyao Sect has almost never intervened in anything that happens within the three-thirds of the land.
Because it is located in the northwest of the Wei Kingdom, Tiexian Valley is not only close to the Wei Kingdom, but also to the Chen Kingdom in the west. It is said that the Ma family has a very close relationship with the Danyang Gate of the Chen Kingdom. I don’t know whether it is true or not.
After Ma Hongshan took his seat, he first greeted Chen Jinliang with a smile, then closed his eyes slightly and began to sit on the high platform with his eyes closed to rest.
After about another stick of incense, most of the monks who came to Tuoyun Mountain to participate in the trade fair had arrived on the flat ground at the top of the mountain. At this time, a tall red flying boat suddenly appeared on the horizon, quickly heading towards the top of Tuoyun Mountain. flew over.
The first person to see this movement in the sky was Chen Jinliang, who was sitting at the top. At this moment, he had already stood up on his own initiative, walked around the long table in front of him and strode to the front of the wooden platform with a look on his face. An expectant look.
"Where did this monk come from? He is so impressive that even Patriarch Chen personally came out to greet him?"
As everyone was talking, the red flying boat quickly arrived at the top of Tuoyun Mountain. After a while, four or five figures flew directly down from the flying boat and landed on the top wooden platform.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you're a step late. I hope you won't be offended!" As a voice came, a man in green clothes among the people who landed on the wooden platform stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Chen Jinliang.
Seeing the visitor, Chen Jinliang immediately replied with a smile: "You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Chu. The trade fair has not started yet. Fellow Daoist has come at the right time. Please take a seat, please."
"Am I right? This is Chu Fengping, the golden elixir elder of the Xiaoyao Sect?"
"The monks from the Xiaoyao Sect came to the Tuoyun Mountain Exchange Meeting blatantly. What happened?"
Seeing the man in green sitting on the right side of Chen Jinliang, many monks who were already a little noisy began to talk again. Many monks in the crowd who didn't know what was going on began to speculate that the Jindan elder of the Xiaoyao Sect had come to Tuoyun Mountain. the goal of.
Even Huang Shengxin, who was sitting next to Song Qingming, looked confused at this time. He looked at Chu Fengping above and then at Chen Jinliang sitting next to him. After a long time, he was still confused and could only shake his head gently. .
Ever since Chen Jinliang formed the golden elixir and occupied the third-level spiritual vein in Tuoyun Mountain, he has faced the Xiaoyao Sect many times to win over him for hundreds of years, but he has never been tempted and has always maintained his identity as a casual cultivator. He led his disciples to stick to Tuoyun Mountain, hoping to create a foundation of his own here.
In recent years, several Lingmaifang cities occupied by Tuo Yunshan and Chen Jinliang's disciples have swallowed up many markets in Guiyunfang, the largest city in the north of the Xiaoyao Sect. For this reason, there are already several Jindan in the Xiaoyao Sect. The elder has long been dissatisfied with Tuo Yunshan.
However, the Xiaoyao Sect did not take action to suppress Tuo Yunshan because the Supreme Elder Li Mufeng had always wanted to win over Chen Jinliang to jointly fight against the threat from the northern monsters.
Logically speaking, although the Xiaoyao Sect has not openly quarreled with Tuo Yunshan, if there is no special mission, its disciples will hardly appear openly near Tuo Yunshan.
This grand event held once in Tuo Yun Mountain for decades, actually allowed Chu Fengping, the Jindan elder, to come to participate in person, which really made the monks present a little confused.
Several foundation-building monks who followed Chu Fengping were also elite disciples of Xiaoyao Sect. One of them was a very handsome man in gray clothes. Song Qingming looked familiar. It took him a while to remember that he had been in heaven before. I once met this person at the Danmeng auction.
After Chu Fengping and others took their seats, Chen Jinliang, who was smiling, suddenly stepped forward and said to the many monks below:
"Every Taoist fellow Taoist who came to our Tuo Yun Mountain today gave me some thin noodles. My Tuo Yun Mountain has been preparing for this trade fair for many years. We have all kinds of spiritual objects. You can feel free to choose from them soon." purchase.
In addition, I have two major things to announce. The first is that in the last three days of this trade fair, a sword discussion conference will be held here. I will separately take out several rare spiritual objects as As a reward for the outstanding performance in this sword discussion conference, all the monks present can go to the stage to register and participate.
The Sword Discussion Conference is just an opportunity for everyone to compete with monks of the same level. The life of the opponent must not be harmed. The monks who take the initiative to participate will not charge any fees. Please feel free to participate, fellow Taoists. "
Hearing Chen Jinliang suddenly say that he would hold a sword discussion conference in Tuoyun Mountain, many monks below showed a look of surprise.
Since Patriarch Chen took over Tuoyun Mountain, he has held five or six large-scale trade fairs. Although each time is slightly different, holding a sword discussion conference is in vain to allow many monks to free spiritual objects. This is the first time we have participated.
After hearing this somewhat shocking news, not only the Qi Refining Stage monks below started to get ready to move, but also the Foundation Establishment monks sitting on the wooden chairs on the second floor platform all showed a hint of excitement.
Before the many monks below calmed down, Chen Jinliang said calmly: "This second thing is actually of great benefit to everyone here.
I have discussed with the head of Xiaoyao Sect Yao some time ago that a large-scale market will be built on Tuoyun Mountain in the future, and we will jointly manage this new market.
From today on, whether you are casual cultivators, Taoist friends from major cultivating families or Xiaoyao Sect, you can come to Tuoyunshan Xinfang City to do business. I also ask all Taoist friends to help you after returning from participating in the trade fair. Let’s spread the word more, I’d like to express my thanks in advance. "
Compared with the first news, the second thing Chen Jinliang said obviously surprised the monks present.
"I didn't expect that Patriarch Chen would actively choose to cooperate with Xiaoyao Sect and let the other party extend its power into Tuoyun Mountain. It's no wonder that Chu Fengping, the golden elixir elder of Xiaoyao Sect, would take the initiative to do business in Tuoyun Mountain today. Got it."
If Chen Jinliang had chosen to join the Xiaoyao Sect when he was young, he would definitely have received more training resources and opportunities, allowing him to take further steps in his practice.
But Chen Jinliang has never thought about it this way after practicing for so many years. He still thinks that he can practice freely and not be restricted by the sect. For this reason, he naturally lost many shortcuts in cultivation along the way.
There is a huge gap between casual cultivators of Jindan who cultivate alone, whether it is spiritual veins, techniques or various cultivation resources, compared with the Jindan elders of large sects like Xiaoyao Sect who have been established for thousands of years.
Since he did not choose to rely on the sect when he was young, Old Ancestor Chen's longevity has long been insufficient and there is no time to advance to the realm of Yuanying. At this time, it is indeed not a big deal for him to join the Xiaoyao sect. It makes sense. By doing this, he seemed to be paving the way for his disciples.
After Patriarch Chen finished speaking these two sentences and walked away, Fengyangde, who had been standing aside for a long time, quickly walked to the front again.
"Fellow Taoists, this Tuoyun Mountain Trade Fair will be held for seven days. The rules are still the same as before. Fellow Taoists, if you like any spiritual objects you want, you can purchase them. If you don't have enough spiritual stones, you can also go to Jinyun Pavilion. Exchange spiritual objects for spiritual stones.
There will be several registration locations for the Sword Discussion Conference in the back. This conference will be divided into two groups according to their cultivation level. Whether you are a foundation-building Daoist friend or a Qi Refining monk, you can go directly to register for the Sword Discussion Conference in the first four days. Once it starts, you can no longer participate. Please don’t miss the time. "
As Fengyang De walked away with a smile, the Tuoyun Mountain Trade Fair also officially began. Like the Bailong Mountain Conference that Song Qingming participated in, the trade fair held in Tuoyun Mountain also divided many spiritual objects into small stalls. , distributed on this large platform on the top of the mountain.
These stalls divided the various spiritual objects in the world of immortality into different categories, and then scattered them in different stalls according to the level of the spiritual objects, such as elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, martial arts books, monster materials, etc. , basically all kinds of spiritual objects can be found here.
Moreover, compared to the Bailong Mountain Conference, the Tuoyun Mountain Trade Fair had a much higher number and quality of spiritual objects. Even the second-grade high-grade spiritual elixirs that Song Qing had not seen in the Tiandan Pavilion in the past were here. You can even see it.
Moreover, during the Tuoyunshan Fair, various new spiritual objects will appear every other day. Even if you can't find what you want today, you can still buy it as long as you are lucky tomorrow.
After Song Qingming looked at the trade fair for a while, it didn't take long for him to see a set of arrays that suited him very well on the second floor where the second-level and above foundation-building spiritual objects were placed.
The quality of this set of formation disks is very good, and it also comes with a set of formation flags of the same level. The quality is all second-grade high-grade magic weapons, which is completely sufficient for refining the second-grade mid-grade spirit-gathering array.
However, the price of the second-level high-grade array disks is indeed not low. After hearing the price of 2,500 spiritual stones quoted by the waiter at the stall, Song Qingming was still a little surprised. After hesitating for a while, he chose to leave. .
There are not many array masters of level two or above in the world of immortality. This set of array disks shouldn’t be easy to sell here. After thinking about it for a while, Song Qingming decided to look for another one and see if the price was lower. The second-level mid-level formation plate.
Unfortunately, two days passed. Song Qingming walked around the trade fair and still didn't see anything suitable. He could only grit his teeth and go back to buy the set of arrays with some pain.
"Fellow Daoist Song, seeing the displeasure on your face, there could be something wrong with the spiritual objects you bought. All the spiritual objects sold in Jinyun Pavilion at our Tuoyun Mountain Fair must be guaranteed.
If a fellow Taoist feels that there is something really wrong with the spiritual object in his hand, he can take it directly to Jinyun Pavilion and ask them to help identify it again. As long as there is a quality problem, Jinyun Pavilion will return the spiritual stone to you. "
Seeing Feng Yangde walking over step by step with a smile on his face, Song Qingming slowly put away the array plate in his hand and said with a bitter smile:
"Fellow Daoist Feng misunderstood. I originally wanted to find a lower-quality formation disk, but I couldn't find a suitable one after searching for a long time. I just spent more spiritual stones and bought an expensive one. Now the spiritual stones on my body are all gone." It’s almost bottoming out, making fellow Taoists laugh.”
"If you are afraid that you may not have enough spiritual stones when you see a spiritual object you like, you can go to Jinyun Pavilion first to see if you can exchange the extra spiritual objects with you for some spiritual stones. Many fellow Daoists will encounter this at every trade fair. Kind of thing.
Fellow Daoist Song can rest assured that the price of spiritual objects purchased by Jinyung Pavilion will not be much different from the price at the market outside. This is also to make it easier for everyone to buy the spiritual objects they want at the trade fair. "
Song Qingming nodded slightly and said: "This is my first time to attend a trade fair. I really don't know a lot about it. Thank you Taoist Feng for reminding me."
After hearing Fengyang Dede's intentional reminder, Song Qingming quickly walked down from the mountaintop platform and arrived outside the Jinyu Pavilion in Fangshi. It was different from when Song Qingming and Huang Shengyue came a few days ago. People were coming and going in the Jinyun Pavilion at this moment. , many times more than the previous monks.
As soon as he entered the house, Song Qingming was looking for someone to inquire, but he accidentally bumped into an old acquaintance. This person was Fang Wuqian, who had gone to the Fuyun Mountains with him to explore the cave a few years ago.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, I haven't seen you for several years. I never thought that you and I would meet here. What a fate!"
Fang Wuqian wasn't surprised when he saw Song Qingming's face. Instead, he was a little happy. He pulled Song Qingming aside and started chatting.
"Fellow Daoist Song is not searching for spiritual objects on the top of the mountain, but he came to Jinyun Pavilion. Could it be that he is here to look for spiritual objects just like me?" After the two chatted for a while, Fang Wuqian finally remembered to ask Song Qingming why he came to Jinyun Pavilion today. .
Song Qingming nodded and said: "Fellow Daoist Fang is right. I spent a lot of spiritual stones at the trade fair two days ago. Today, I am short of money and only thought of coming to Jinyun Pavilion for a look. This is also my first time to attend the trade fair." , I don’t know what kind of spiritual objects are recovered here in Jinyun Pavilion, could Fellow Daoist Fang give me some advice first.”
"Alas! Don't take it as an advice. It's the first time for fellow Taoist Song to come here. It's normal that he doesn't know some things. Speaking of Tuoyun Mountain's Jinyun Pavilion, Patriarch Chen has been running it for hundreds of years. Now it can be regarded as a cultivator in the northern part of the Wei Kingdom. The largest store in the fairy world.
However, this Jinyun Pavilion does not accept everything on weekdays. Don't look at everyone coming in now. That is because there is a trade fair on the top of the mountain. In order to facilitate everyone's exchange for spiritual stones, Jinyun Pavilion specially invited many appraisals from various places. The shopkeeper of spiritual things.
After the Jinyun Pavilion accepts these spiritual objects, they will take them directly to the mountain top trade fair to sell them directly on the next day. They can also earn a lot of spiritual stones from this purchase and sale. "
"That's it! I asked you why so many new spiritual objects are brought out every day at the trade fair. It turns out that these are also brought by the monks who participated in the trade fair."
