Chapter 416 Transaction
After arriving at Yangshanfang three days ago, Song Qingming has been to all the larger shops in the market these days, but he still hasn't found the elixir he wants.
Just when Song Qingming was at a loss, Song Xinyu on Guyang Mountain sent him a letter, saying that he had found a cultivator in Xiaoyao Sect who could exchange for the Moon-Watching Pill, but the other party wanted a second-level defensive magic weapon to exchange for the pill.
Although the price of any elixir above the second level in the market is now more expensive than before, the other party's proposal to exchange a second-level defensive magic weapon for the Moon-Watching Pill is still a great bargain.
The transaction price of a Moon-Watching Pill in the market is generally around 500 spirit stones, but a second-level low-grade defensive magic weapon requires at least 700 spirit stones. If Song Qingming exchanges it directly like this, he will definitely suffer a great loss.
Fortunately, the other party also knew about this and took the initiative to propose that he could add some spirit stones to exchange together. This did not intend to let Song Qingming suffer a loss, which made him feel much better.
On the second day, after Song Qingming waited in the inn for half a day, Song Xinyu finally brought a handsome young man to the inn, and soon found the private room on the second floor that Song Qingming had already prepared for them.
"Seventh Uncle, this is Xu Liangjian, a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect. Senior Brother Xu is also a well-known alchemist in our sect. I have also asked him to help me make pills several times, so we are familiar with each other."
After introducing the visitor, Song Xinyu pointed at Song Qingming and Senior Brother Xu and introduced them a few words. Soon the relationship between the few people became much more familiar.
This time, Song Qingming did not say anything nonsense. He directly handed over a jade pendant that he had just received from Feng He not long ago and put it on the table.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I won't say much more. This magic weapon is a genuine second-level defense magic weapon. Take a look first!"
Senior Brother Xu slowly picked up the jade pendant, carefully observed it for a while, and began to play with it with some love.
"Fellow Daoist Song, your magic weapon should cost 700 to 800 spiritual stones if it is on the market now. Anyway, we are friends now. How about this? I will use the Moon Watching Pill plus 250 spiritual stones to exchange for this magic weapon. What do you think?"
"Well! 260 spiritual stones are better. Fellow Daoist Xu, you should agree." Song Qingming replied calmly.
After Xu Liangjian looked at Song Qingming, whose face was still normal, he sighed slightly and said, "Let's do as you said. I will give you 260 spiritual stones."
The price Xu Liangjian gave at the beginning was actually similar to what Song Qingming had estimated at the beginning. The reason why he asked him for 10 more spiritual stones was that he didn't like the original number. After Song Qingming and Xu Liangjian agreed on the price, the two exchanged spiritual objects in this private room.
After the transaction was completed, Xu Liangjian said goodbye to the two and left the inn directly.
After seeing the Moon-Watching Pill, which was normal, Song Qingming smiled. Although he had used up a good spiritual object, he finally got the Moon-Watching Pill. Song Qingming finally achieved the purpose of coming to Yangshanfang this time.
Since Song Xinyu established his foundation, the Song family has a person who can speak with some influence in Xiaoyao Sect, which also brought Song Qingming a lot of convenience.
In the past, some spiritual objects that were difficult to obtain in the market outside can now be easily found out in Xiaoyao Sect through Song Xinyu. This time, Song Xinyu helped Song Qingming find the Moon-Watching Pill after asking many fellow disciples.
After successfully obtaining the Moon-Watching Pill, he planned to rent a cave in Yangshanfang to retreat. The spiritual energy in Yangshanfang is much better than that of the Song family's Funiushan. With the Moon-Watching Pill this time, Song Qingming now feels that it is a natural thing for him to improve his cultivation to the ninth level of foundation building.
"Xinyu, I plan to rent a cave in the market in a few days to retreat and break through my realm. I will probably stay in Yangshanfang for a few more months. If you encounter anything and need to find me, you can come directly to the cave in the back mountain of the market."
"Seventh Uncle, you are retreating in Yangshanfang. I am afraid that other cultivators will come to disturb you if no one takes care of you. Otherwise, I will stay in Yangshanfang to guard you for a while." Seeing that Song Qingming wanted to retreat in Yangshanfang to break through his realm, Song Xinyu's face was also very surprised.
Song Qingming smiled and shook his head and said, "I am only retreating to break through a small realm. Even if someone disturbs me, it will not have much impact. Don't worry about it. Just do what you need to do. Don't worry about me here. After all, Yangshanfang is at the foot of Xiaoyao Sect Mountain, and no one will dare to make trouble here."
After seeing Song Xinyu off, Song Qingming returned to his room, packed his bags, checked out of his guest room, and went directly to the cave in the market.
Like Yangshanfang and Guiyunfang, there are also many caves in the back mountain that can be rented by cultivators. Some of these caves are of high quality with abundant spiritual energy, which can even be comparable to the third-level spiritual veins. Occasionally, they will attract foreign cultivators to come here to rent caves temporarily.
In a hall with people coming and going, a somewhat mature Qi-refining cultivator was spreading out a hand-drawn map and explaining it to Song Qingming respectfully.
"Senior, all the vacant caves in the back mountain are here. Please see which one you need and how long you want to rent it for. I will help you register and you can move in soon."
There are hundreds of monk caves, large and small, drawn on this map. Among them, there are not many caves at the lower levels at the foot of the mountain that are still vacant, but most of the caves with sufficient spiritual energy halfway up the mountain are Still in a state of ownerlessness.
After Song Qingming glanced at it, he pointed directly to a higher-level cave at the top of the map and said softly: "It's Cave No. 11. I'll rent it for half a year. Could you please help me with the procedures?"
At first when he saw Song Qingming pointing upwards, the little old man's face was already filled with happiness. However, when he heard that Song Qingming would only rent for half a year, his face suddenly became disappointed.
"Senior, our city has always welcomed high-level monks like you. As long as the monks rent for more than two years, they can get a huge discount. If you only stay for half a year, it is not very cost-effective."
Song Qingming looked at the little old man, smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter. I just need to retreat this time to break through my cultivation. I haven't planned to live here permanently. I just need a quiet place with enough aura for me."
