Chapter 629: Barter Conference, Red Dragon Pill (Combined Chapter)
After several people left the port and entered the island, they passed through a small market and soon arrived in front of a high mountain in the center of the island.
After arriving here, Chen Yurong, who was walking in front, stopped immediately, then took out a red jade tablet from his body, cast a spell and threw it into the air.
After a moment, a spiritual light emitted from the red jade plaque fell directly on the mountain wall in front. A whirlpool-like airflow suddenly rolled up in front of the originally calm mountain wall, and then a white mass with a radius of four to five feet appeared. Clouds and mist.
After the white cloud and mist appeared in front of everyone, Chen Yurong, who was standing below, was the first to emerge with a burst of light at his feet, and he rose directly into the air and was submerged in the white mist.
Upon seeing this, the rest of the crowd immediately followed, flying into the air and quickly passing through the white cloud.
As soon as he passed through the clouds and mist, Song Qingming felt his eyes light up. He appeared in a very tall and somewhat magnificent cave. Several huge luminous pearls on the mountain wall not far in front had already illuminated everyone nearby. It's like it's still outside.
As soon as everyone stood upright, an old man with a round face and a long beard in front of them came quickly to greet them.
"Haha! Fairy Chen is coming here. I hope you don't mind that Long is a little distant to greet you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yurong immediately smiled and returned the favor, saying, "Fellow Taoist Long, you're very polite. These are also friends of our sect and want to come to this barter conference together. It would be convenient to invite fellow Taoists."
When the round-faced old man heard Chen Yurong's introduction, he immediately glanced at Song Qingming and others standing nearby, then smiled and nodded slightly:
"Although I haven't invited new strangers to join recently, it was just introduced by Chen Xianzi. There should be no problem. I welcome you!"
After the round-faced old man finished speaking, he took the initiative to offer his hands to Song Qingming and others, and introduced to them his identity and some of the rules of the barter conference.
When Song Qingming went to Wu State for the first time to participate in the Star Conference, he also followed Chu Fengping and Chen Xuanxin to Dengyun Tower to participate in a barter conference among Jindan monks.
And he used a "White Dew Pill" to exchange it with Old Monster Mo for a third-level mid-level magic weapon and a high-level defensive talisman, and gained a lot.
Several people talked while walking, and soon came to a hall inside the cave.
The hall is also very spacious and bright, with several stone pillars standing in the middle, and exquisite landscape paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. At this time, there are already twenty or thirty people sitting in various places in the hall.
Song Qingming glanced slightly and found that most of the people sitting there were people who were at the Golden Core stage or above. A small number of Foundation Establishment monks were also sitting next to a Golden Core cultivator. They were obviously with their companions at the Golden Core stage. Came here.
"I would like to ask some fellow Taoists to sit down for a moment. There are still some fellow Taoists from Feihe Island and Yunlong Mountain who have not arrived yet. I will go out to greet them. The barter conference will begin soon after they arrive. "
"Fellow Daoist Dragon, please!" After the round-faced old man ushered everyone into the hall, he greeted Chen Yurong and quickly turned around and walked out.
Not long after, two more waves of monks came outside, and there were almost forty people in the hall. At this time, the round-faced old man walked to the stone platform in the middle of the hall and directly announced the official start of the barter conference.
Through the mutual introduction with the round-faced old man just now, Song Qingming already knew the name of the organizer of the Barter Conference, which was Long Fuhai.
This person is a well-known Jindan cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation in the East China Sea. His cultivation has reached the realm of the ninth level of Jindan Dzogchen. Like Chen Yurong, he is also a person who has hit the Nascent Soul realm once.
However, Long Fuhai is much older than Chen Yurong. Now he is over 500 years old. There is basically no possibility of breaking through the Nascent Soul, and his future prospects are far less bright than Chen Yurong.
This barter conference was organized by Long Fuhai and Luo Chengan, another friend who was also a Jindan cultivator, on this island called "Luolong Island" more than a hundred years ago. It has been held more than twenty times.
Different from the last time Song Qingming was at Dengyun Tower, the barter conference held on "Luolong Island" did not involve the monks getting to know each other or discussing the Tao. The only purpose was to exchange spiritual objects between the monks. .
However, all monks participating in the Barter Conference here, no matter who they are, must hand over a certain proportion of spiritual stones to the organizer of the Barter Conference, "Luolong Island", every time they successfully exchange a spiritual object.
"Luolong Island", in addition to organizing people to participate in the barter conference, is also responsible for appraising and guaranteeing the value of spiritual objects, and providing conveniences such as exchanging spiritual stones for the monks who come to the conference.
Long Fuhai had just announced the start of the barter conference, and soon a young Confucian scholar wearing a yellow robe and a purple gold jade crown took the lead on the stage.
After the young Confucian scholar greeted everyone with his hands, he took out a shining white jade bead from his body with a wave of his hand, then showed it in front of everyone, and then slowly said with a calm face:
"Fellow Taoists, this is a third-level middle-grade white jade thunder bead. It is a defensive magic weapon refined from the eyeballs of thunder dragons. It is especially resistant to thunder attribute spells.
I want to exchange this item for a demon king inner elixir of the same quality. If anyone can come up with a metallic demon king inner elixir, I am willing to add another third-level low-grade spiritual talisman as compensation. "
Seeing this person take out a good-quality third-level defensive magic weapon as soon as he came on stage, Song Qingming's face also showed a little surprise.
You should know that defensive spiritual objects and magic weapons in the world of immortal cultivation have always been relatively precious. Song Qingming has participated in many large and small trade fairs over the years, and rarely sees people take out this level of spiritual objects to sell.
Even when participating in the Wu Kingdom Star Conference, Song Qingming only saw one or two, and basically they were immediately snatched up by everyone as soon as they came out, and they were finally sold at a premium.
This person took the initiative to exchange a third-level middle-quality demon king inner pill, which is indeed not taking advantage of others. I just don't know if anyone among the many people on the scene will take it out.
Although there are many powerful people who have reached the late stage of the golden elixir among the many golden elixir cultivators present, it is not easy for everyone to hunt down a demon king in the middle stage of the golden elixir.
Song Qingming also had an inner pill that he had obtained from the "black-scaled beast" not long ago, but unfortunately the demon pill was only of the third-grade lower grade, which did not meet this person's requirements, otherwise he would definitely have tried it through voice transmission.
As soon as the middle-aged scholar finished speaking, it wasn't long before someone began to send voice transmissions to the stage, wanting to exchange this item with him. What Song Qingming didn't expect was that He Mengxin, who was sitting not far from him, also sent a voice transmission to the stage.
Seeing this scene, Song Qingming remembered that when He Mengxin and them were exploring the Yuanying Cave in Yue State, the inner pill of the gray rat demon king that they killed together fell into her hands when they finally divided the spiritual objects.
After so many years, Song Qingming thought that He Mengxin had already used up the demon king's inner pill, but he didn't expect that she had kept it until now.
You should know that the demon king's inner pill is not like spiritual objects such as spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits that can be preserved for a long time. Generally, it will start to deteriorate and damage after about 20 to 30 years.
Most of the cultivators who got such things would choose to deal with them quickly and would not keep them on their bodies.
Although He Mengxin also sent a voice transmission, it was a pity that the middle-aged scholar did not choose her as the trading partner, but exchanged the defensive magic weapon in his hand with another thin old man who looked a little ugly.
After Long Fuhai, on behalf of "Luolong Island", checked the spiritual objects provided by both parties and found no problems, the first business in the exchange conference was officially concluded, and both parties left the middle platform with satisfaction.
Seeing that in the transaction just now, four or five people, including He Mengxin, tried to compete for the third-level middle-grade defensive magic weapon, Song Qingming was also quite shocked.
Unexpectedly, among the many Jindan cultivators present, there were really many people who came with top-grade treasures like the middle-aged scholar, which also made people look forward to the spiritual objects that will appear in this exchange conference.
Sure enough, the second cultivator who came on stage took out another valuable water-attributed level 3 middle-grade spiritual medicine, wanting to exchange it for a defensive spiritual talisman of the same quality.
Although the value of a level 3 middle-grade spiritual medicine is far less than the defensive magic weapon just taken out by the first person, this level of spiritual medicine is also a spiritual object that most cultivators are very useful to. Everyone present, including Song Qingming, was a little moved when they saw it.
Song Qingming did have a level 3 middle-grade defensive spiritual talisman on him, but this thing had always been hidden on him as a self-defense trump card. Although a level 3 middle-grade spiritual medicine is good, it is not something Song Qingming urgently needs now. After thinking for a while, he gave up the idea of exchanging this spiritual object.
As the exchange meeting went smoothly, the level 3 middle-grade spiritual medicine soon fell into the hands of a graceful man in white.
Although they were all trade fairs organized by Jindan-stage cultivators, and Song Qingming attended the "Dengyun Pavilion" barter meeting, although there were many Jindan cultivators, the spiritual objects that most people brought out were not of very high quality.
And they were basically relatively unpopular and difficult to sell on the market, which was not so attractive to other Jindan cultivators. Many cultivators were disappointed after they came on stage and failed to exchange for the spiritual objects they wanted.
Unlike the last time, the participants of the "Luolong Island" barter meeting this time obviously came with some sincerity to exchange spiritual objects. The spiritual objects that everyone brought out were obviously much more practical, and basically attracted many cultivators to send voice messages to offer prices.
Among the seven or eight people who came on stage in succession, only one Jindan-stage cultivator walked down the stage with a disappointed look on his face.
However, the reason why this person failed to exchange for the spiritual object he wanted was not because the spiritual object he took out was not attractive enough, but because the material from the third-level upper-grade fire attribute monster he wanted to exchange was too unpopular. No one among the cultivators present had this spiritual object.
You should know that the East China Sea Xiuxian World is surrounded by vast oceans. Fire attribute monsters do not like this kind of living environment and are very rare. It is naturally not an easy task to find materials from high-level fire attribute monsters here.
Although he has seen a lot of good things, these things are good, but they are not the spiritual objects that Song Qingming wants most at present. Therefore, he has only tried to bid once so far, and gave up immediately when he failed to get the other party's approval, and did not participate in the competition for spiritual objects too much.
It wasn't until the ninth monk went up that the things the visitor brought out made Song Qingming, who had always been somewhat calm, show a hint of excitement on his face.
"All fellow Taoists are all accomplished people in cultivation. I don't think I need to introduce the function of this water spirit fruit too much. I would like to use this spirit fruit in exchange for a wood attribute magic weapon or a magic weapon of level three or above that can improve my cultivation. For the elixir, if you are interested, you can quote me.”
After hearing this person say the spiritual object he wanted to exchange for, Song Qingming just thought for a moment and then immediately cast a spell to send a message to the other party.
"Water Spirit Fruit" is the main medicine that can be used to refine the Foundation Building Pill. As long as the mature spirit fruit is taken directly to Xiaoyao Sect's Shanggong Pavilion, it can be exchanged for a Foundation Building Pill. Naturally, Song Qingming does not want to miss such a spiritual object. .
But this "Water Spirit Fruit" not only attracted Song Qingming, after he finished casting the spell, not long after, there were two Golden Pill monks present who also reported their prices through the sound transmission.
The monk standing on the stage who took out the "Water Spirit Fruit" waited for a long time to see if anyone else participated in the quotation. After hesitating for a moment, he still sent a message to Song Qingming, agreeing to his side. quotation.
Seeing this, Song Qingming was also overjoyed. He quickly got up and came to the stage, and then walked into a yellow formation that blocked his vision from the outside.
This is the yellow ban on the side of "Luolong Island". In order to ensure that the information of the monks on both sides is not leaked during the transaction, a magic circle is specially set up to isolate the spiritual vision.
After entering the formation, Song Qingming took out a cyan dagger magic weapon from his body with one hand and handed it to Long Fuhai who was standing beside him.
This green dagger magic weapon is the "Green Willow Sword" that Huofeng returned to Song Qingming when he formed the elixir.
With the improvement of his own cultivation over the years, Song Qingming already had more sophisticated magic weapons in his hands. He no longer needed this third-level low-grade magic weapon, so he gave it to Jin Feng for use.
As soon as he heard that the other party wanted a wood-attribute magic weapon, Song Qingming immediately thought of the "Green Willow Sword" on his body, and directly sent a message to the other party to tell him that he wanted to exchange this magic weapon for the "Water Spirit Fruit".
The person who wants to trade with Song Qingming happens to practice wood-attribute skills. Being able to hold a magic weapon with the same attribute will naturally improve his fighting ability. Therefore, the "Green Willow Sword" is definitely more important to him than Some other magic weapons of the same level.
After Long Fuhai checked that there was nothing wrong with the "Green Willow Sword", he asked an alchemist next to him who was more familiar with the spirit fruit to pick up the "water spirit fruit" in the opponent's hand and examine it carefully for a moment before he safely handed the spiritual object back to the two. people.
After getting the "Water Spirit Fruit" he wanted, Song Qingming showed a bit of satisfaction on his face, and immediately took out two middle-grade spiritual stones from his body and handed them over to Long Fuhai. This was what they needed as the organizer of the trade fair. fees drawn from it.
After completing the transaction, Song Qingming did not leave the stone platform in the middle in a hurry. Instead, he took out a set of third-level low-grade formations from his body and said to the monks sitting around him:
"This thing is a set of third-level low-grade magic circle that I personally refined. If it is used properly using the right location, it can easily trap monsters below the middle stage of the Golden Core.
I would like to use this set of magic circles in exchange for a five-element spiritual object that assists in forming pills. If the price is insufficient, I am willing to compensate for the difference. If that fellow Taoist is interested, you can give me a quote. "
Since becoming a third-level array mage, Song Qingming has refined several sets of third-level arrays in the past few decades. The array in his hand was refined after he found the materials in Xiaoyao Sect's Shanggong Pavilion more than ten years ago. of.
Seeing the high-level magic circle floating in front of Song Qingming, most of the monks present were immediately attracted to it, and many of them had a hint of excitement in their eyes.
There are not many formation masters above level three in the world of immortality. In addition, refining a set of formations takes much longer than other skills. Many high-level formation masters are not willing to spend too much time on it. Above this, it is not common for magic circles above level three to be found on the market.
The reason why Song Qingming was able to refine several sets of third-level magic formations in just a few decades without affecting his own cultivation was mainly because he had the residual picture that could quickly restore magic power. reason.
Anyone else would not have been able to do it so easily.
Although the high-level magic circle in Song Qingming's hand, which is helpful for hunting monsters, is considered a very good rare spiritual object here, it has a great attraction to the monks present as soon as it is taken out.
However, the five-element spiritual object that Song Qingming wanted to assist in forming elixirs was not a common and precious spiritual object. Although many of the golden elixir monks present looked at the array in Song Qingming's hands with excitement, the one who made the quotation was Not much.
Moreover, the quotes Song Qingming received from the messengers were not the five-element elixir spiritual objects he wanted, but other high-level spiritual objects whose value was equivalent to the formation in his hand.
After a while, seeing that no one had given a quote for the Five Elements Spiritual Items, a hint of disappointment slowly appeared on Song Qingming's face.
"It seems that none of the Jindan monks present have what he wants." Just when Song Qingming was about to put away the magic circle in front of him, another sound transmission suddenly flew into his ears.
"Fellow Taoist, I also have a third-level middle-grade Red Dragon Pill in my hand. This pill can improve the magic power of a mid-stage Golden Pill monk for about ten years. Can I exchange it with you for this magic circle?"
After hearing the other party's voice transmission, Song Qingming's face also showed a little surprise. After standing there and thinking for a moment, he replied to the other party without hesitation and agreed to the deal.
A third-level middle-grade elixir that can improve mana cultivation is worth more than the third-level low-grade magic array in Song Qingming's hand. The other party is willing to exchange it with Song Qingming. To be honest, it still makes him take advantage of it.
Since the third-level array in his hand can't be exchanged for the five-element pill spirit he wants, it will definitely not be a loss for Song Qingming to trade it for a third-level middle-grade elixir that helps him practice.
After all, for Song Qingming who has the help of the incomplete map, it is not difficult to refine a set of third-level magic array again as long as there are suitable materials and spend some time.
If it weren't for the fact that high-level materials for refining arrays are not easy to find around Weiguo, Song Qingming might be able to produce several more high-level magic arrays.
In this transaction, according to the estimation of "Luolong Island", the third-level middle-grade "Red Dragon Pill" offered by the other party is worth more than the third-level low-grade magic array in Song Qingming's hand.
Therefore, Song Qingming compensated the cultivator who came on stage to trade with him with 5,000 spiritual stones, and finally completed the transaction.
Although Song Qingming had handed over an additional 600 spiritual stones to "Luolong Island" for two consecutive transactions, he still had a satisfied look on his face when he walked down from the stage.
After all, everyone's luck is limited, and it is impossible to get the spiritual objects they want every time they go out. At this level of trading fair, as long as they can get one or two useful things for themselves, it is worthwhile for Song Qingming.
At the following exchange meeting, the remaining cultivators, including He Mengxin and others beside Song Qingming, also came on stage to exchange what they wanted, but Song Qingming did not see the spiritual objects he liked until the end, so he could only become a spectator.
Song Qingyu came mainly to follow Song Qingming, and she didn't have any spiritual objects she wanted to trade, so she didn't go on stage to bid.
However, He Mengxin, who came with her, was lucky. She used an extra magic weapon and some spiritual stones in her hand to exchange for a third-level spiritual fruit that could help early Jindan cultivators break through. It was a good deal for her.
Chen Yurong and Liu Cuiyun also exchanged one or two spiritual objects that were useful to them. Their trip was not in vain, and it was also a gain for everyone who participated in the trade fair.
After participating in the trade fair on "Luolong Island", Song Qingming and the other two had already planned to return to Weiguo immediately, so they said goodbye to He Mengxin and others directly, and did not choose to follow them back to "Wanhu Island".
When they parted, He Mengxin pulled Song Qingyu aside, took out some spiritual stones and other spiritual objects that had been prepared long ago, and asked her to help pass them on to Liu Yuxin, who was practicing alone outside.
It has been more than a month since they left Qinghe County. Song Qingming and the other two were a little worried about the situation at home. After He Mengxin and the others left, they immediately boarded the spirit boat and left Luolong Island. (End of this chapter)
