Chapter 1492: Attic Dispute
"There are still three days before the Dandao Exchange Conference. You three are a little early, but there are guest rooms in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. Since you have entered the island, you can stay there for a few days!"
The old man in the Golden Core Realm looked at Ye Chunyang and the other two and waved his hand lightly.
The old man surnamed Yao's eyes flickered, and he seemed to have something to say in his heart, but he didn't speak. Finally, he bowed to the old man and said, "Thank you, senior."
"Three Taoist friends, please follow me."
A disciple stepped forward to lead the way.
Ye Chunyang looked at the supplies on Zhang Zhiyuan's boat with deep meaning, but didn't say anything. He took Yu Guzi and followed the leading disciple.
"Senior, these supplies..."
Zhang Zhiyuan opened his mouth and asked with a look of doubt.
"It's better not to ask what you shouldn't ask. There is nothing for you to do here. You can go back after settling the bill in the account office." The old man in the Golden Core Realm waved his hand impatiently.
Zhang Zhiyuan was startled and didn't dare to say more. He hurriedly left with his attendants.
At this time, he clearly saw the old man looking at the supplies on the ship, his eyes were hot.
"Master, aren't the supplies we escorted this time just ordinary things like before? Why did you alarm the elders to come and receive the goods in person?"
After walking a long way, one of Zhang Zhiyuan's confidants couldn't help but speak: "It is said that the supplies we transport can only provide some disciples for a long time at most, and the elders never ask about it. Is there really something else on our ship?"
Zhang Zhiyuan's face changed.
"Shut up! This is the Lingshan Island of Yaoshen Sect. Be careful of disasters if you talk nonsense like this!" Zhang Zhiyuan glared at the confidant fiercely.
The confidant's body stiffened and he quickly shut up.
"This matter is indeed a bit abnormal. Xiaoshan and the master of the Hualing Realm seemed to be particularly concerned about the supplies on our ship before. What's going on?" Zhang Zhiyuan muttered softly.
Then he looked back at his confidant: "Before setting off on this trip, have you counted the goods? Did you find anything unusual?"
"Telling the master, according to convention, we will check carefully before each sea trip, and this time is no exception. There is no problem." The confidant said solemnly.
"This is strange. If there is no problem, how could it attract pirates in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and let the elders of the Medicine God Sect take over personally?" Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't figure it out.
After a moment of silence, he waved his hand and sighed, saying: "It is really dangerous this time. If it weren't for Master Yao and Senior Yu Guzi, we would have died in the hands of pirates. No matter what secrets are hidden in the supplies, we don't have to care, so as not to cause trouble. After the accounts are settled, we will return to Zhongzhou immediately!"
"Yes!"
The followers responded in a deep voice.
This experience really made them feel like they had stepped into the gates of hell. If it weren't for Senior Yu Guzi's action at the end, they might not have reached Lingshan Island.
Now that Zhang Zhiyuan had spoken, they were all silent and dared not speculate any more.
…
Lingshan Island is vast and is not inferior to the inner gate of Kunlun Ruins.
After following the leading disciple through the smoke and miasma on the coast, Ye Chunyang's eyes suddenly opened up. He saw many beautiful buildings on the island, cherry trees and peach blossoms planted everywhere, and countless exotic flowers and plants, with fragrance everywhere, a scene of paradise.
Not long after flying, the leading disciple took them to stop in front of a several-story attic.
There was an empty square outside the attic, with many figures walking around, either in groups of three or two, or walking alone, but more of them were sitting in place and holding up banners to sell treasures.
"This is the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. Three days later, the Alchemy Exchange Conference will be held here, and all Taoist friends can sell elixirs at the meeting."
"Of course, if there are other treasures, you can also exchange them privately."
The leading disciple introduced politely.
"Okay, thank you for your help." Ye Chunyang nodded slightly.
"Don't be polite, fellow Daoist. The guest rooms are upstairs. You can choose the room you want to live in." The leading disciple said with a smile.
After saying this, he told the few people some of the rules and taboos of the Medicine God Sect. The three of them said they understood and did not stay here any longer.
"Senior Ye, it seems that these people came to Lingshan Island to shop in advance. They have a lot of treasures on display. Should we go and take a look?" Yu Guzi looked at the square and said with interest.
Ye Chunyang also looked at the square, and then chuckled: "Now they have taken out only some ordinary treasures. The truly valuable treasures will not appear now. Why rush?"
Yu Guzi suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly: "Senior is right. In this case, let's wait here for a few days."
Ye Chunyang smiled and walked upstairs.
Yu Guzi hurriedly followed him. In the past, he had participated in many secret treasure exchanges between cultivators, but he had never seen such a scene. He could not help but look forward to the upcoming alchemy exchange meeting.
Although the alchemy exchange meeting had not yet arrived, Lingshan Island had already attracted many people. When Ye Chunyang went upstairs, he found that the attic was almost full of people.
However, he did not care about it. He chose a room near the square and walked in.
"I have taken a fancy to this room first. Daoist friends, please choose another place!"
Before he stepped into the door, a voice suddenly came to his ears.
Ye Chunyang looked back and saw a young man in his thirties appeared behind him, looking at him with a faint smile.
The young man's cultivation was also perfect in the Dao Foundation Realm, but there was a faint spiritual pressure of magic power in his breath, and he seemed to have stepped half a foot into the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
"Why, is there another rule for choosing a room when staying temporarily on Lingshan Island?" Ye Chunyang said calmly.
"No, it's just that I think the location of this room is good and it suits my taste." The young man smiled slightly and said, "And fellow Taoist, you came a little late, so it's naturally not your turn to get this room."
Ye Chunyang sneered when he heard this, "You are good at confusing right and wrong. It was clearly me who went upstairs first, and you came after me, so how come you came first?"
The young man frowned.
His smile faded, his face became a little more gloomy, and he shrugged and said, "Really? Why don't I remember that you came here first? But even if so, what can I do? I want to book this room myself, if you know what's good for you, just get out of here, maybe it will look better this way..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden "dong dong dong" sound in the attic. The young man felt his feet shaking, and when he was about to turn around, he felt his neck suddenly being strangled, and then the surrounding scenery quickly retreated.
A short and fat middle-aged man in a yellow robe appeared behind him at some point. He grabbed the back of his neck and dragged him down the stairs like an eagle catching a chick.
The young man was horrified and couldn't say a word before the short and fat middle-aged man slapped him.
"Bang!"
The young man fell straight into the hall from the upstairs, lying on the ground with his legs spread wide open, saliva and blood mixed all over the ground.
The huge movement attracted countless people. People in various rooms popped up one after another, looking at the young man lying on the ground with stars in his eyes, and then looked at Ye Chunyang and Yu Guzi, with a look of astonishment.
"Isn't this Qin Ling, the eldest son of the Qin family? How could he be beaten so badly?"
"Those two people are really brave. They even dared to beat the young master of the Qin family. I'm afraid the Qin family won't let him off this time."
"Who are these two people? They look very unfamiliar. Could they be the casual cultivators in that mountain?"
"..."
Everyone talked a lot, and their eyes on Ye Chunyang and the others became a little strange.
"Hmph!"
Yu Guzi snorted coldly, releasing the aura of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Many people immediately changed color and shut up.
Most of the people present were cultivators in the Dao Foundation Realm and the Qi Refining Realm. How could they not be extremely frightened under Yu Guzi's spiritual pressure?
"Who are you! I am the eldest son of the Qin family. How dare you attack me?"
Qin Ling shook his head, staggered to his feet, and asked the two people upstairs with ferocious faces.
"My young master Yu Guzi, I don't care if you are the eldest son or the young son. If you dare to disrespect Senior Ye again next time, I will tear you apart!" Yu Guzi narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
Qin Ling shrank.
Finally, he glanced at the two of them grimly, snorted coldly, and turned away. No matter what, Yu Guzi was a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and he didn't dare to attack on the spot.
"I failed in my duty and let this rat bother the senior for a moment of negligence. I deserve to die!"
Yu Guzi bowed to Ye Chunyang without even looking at Qin Ling.
Although he knew that Qin Ling's cultivation was not good enough in front of Ye Chunyang, Yu Guzi still thought that it was his negligence that gave him the opportunity to offend, and he blamed himself.
"It's okay, you can practice on your own, you don't have to follow me."
Ye Chunyang said indifferently.
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Yu Guzi retreated respectfully.
Ye Chunyang then entered the room.
Just as he disappeared, in the opposite room, the old man surnamed Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. Finally, he closed the door and didn't come out.
But the old man surnamed Yao didn't notice that at the moment he closed the door, a figure appeared somewhere in the attic, looking at him with the same surprise, and then disappeared into the darkness, as if he had never appeared.
The attic soon became quiet, as if Qin Ling's difficulty was just a small episode that didn't cause much sensation, and what attracted more was the exchange of various items outside the square.
Everyone knows that this is just the warm-up for the conference, and the real treasures will only be revealed when the conference begins, but this does not hinder the enthusiasm of the cultivators. After all, those who can come here are all wealthy people, and even the treasures brought out before the conference are extraordinary.
Ye Chunyang did not pay attention to these. After entering the room, he closed his eyes and sat quietly. He seemed to be meditating and practicing, but in fact, his mind was outward, sensing everything around him.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, and a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.
"The Medicine God Sect is indeed very profound. There are no less than ten alchemists in the Golden Core Realm alone, and there are two extremely powerful auras in a secret place on the island. They should be cultivators at the Cave Heaven level."
Ye Chunyang muttered to himself.
After a survey just now, he had a general understanding of the situation on Lingshan Island. Although the Medicine God Sect was secluded from the world, its strength was not inferior to the three major sects in Zhongzhou.
"I don't know how the alchemy skills of the two Cave Heaven cultivators are?"
Ye Chunyang thought to himself and became more and more interested in this.
