Chapter 647

Hearing Li Mengchen's reminder, Song Qingming also knew the other party's good intentions, and immediately bowed to thank the other party, then stood up and said goodbye.

Although he spent a lot of spirit stones in the "Tianji Pavilion", he finally got what he wanted.

After leaving "Fengyuan City", Song Qingming immediately stopped at a nearby uninhabited hilltop, took out the scroll he had just obtained, opened it and read it carefully.

After his eyes swept over the seven locations above the scroll one by one, the specific locations of these places slowly emerged in Song Qingming's mind.

Except for one place that was not in the "Xiuxian Realm" of Donghuang Country, although the other six were distributed far apart, ten years was enough for Song Qingming to walk through all these places.

Standing on the hillside, Song Qingming thought for a long time before deciding on the first place to start. He put away the scroll in his hand and disappeared into a beam of light.

Three years later, on a fairy-like mountain in Qingzhou, west of "Donghuang Country".

A young Taoist priest of fifteen or sixteen years old, holding a book of Qi Refining techniques in his hand, came to a courtyard at the foot of the mountain with a cautious look on his face.

"Ouch!"

As soon as he opened the door, the young Taoist priest bumped into a white ban head-on, was bounced back and fell to the ground, and let out a scream.

"Haha! It's you who came, why didn't you knock on the door first."

Before the young Taoist priest could get up, a man in green appeared beside him and said something to him with a smile.

"Senior Song, I am honored to meet you!" Seeing the newcomer, the young Taoist priest quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

Song Qingming nodded slightly and asked, "Your master asked you to come here, right? What's the matter?"

"My master asked me to tell you that the Tiangui Sect Conference will be held on the first day of next month."

After explaining his purpose, the young Taoist priest placed the technique he had been holding in front of Song Qingming and continued, "And the technique you lent me, I have memorized it all. Please take it back!"

Seeing this, Song Qingming waved his hand and said, "No need. This thing is of no use to me, so I will give it to you. You can take this as well, as a thank you for helping me lead the way in the mountains last month."

Seeing the exquisite storage bag that Song Qingming took out, the young Taoist priest's eyes lit up instantly. He looked at the storage bag in Song Qingming's hand with surprise, but he didn't dare to reach out to take it, as if he still couldn't believe it was true.

Being in a small sect that has already declined, his cultivation level is only at the third level of Qi Refining, so he is not qualified to get a precious spiritual object like a storage bag in the sect.

Every time he sees other brothers using storage bags, he is always envious. Now seeing a beautiful storage bag in front of him, how can he not be excited.

"I will leave here today. Thank you for your care over the past few months. You keep the things. Remember to thank me and your master when you go back!"

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took the initiative to put the storage bag in the hands of the little Taoist priest, and then turned and walked into the courtyard.

After a while, a white light flew out of the courtyard and quickly disappeared in the eyes of the little Taoist priest who had just left here.

Standing on the "Phantom Boat", Song Qingming looked back at the high mountain behind him and couldn't help but sigh slightly. This is the fourth place called "Yuxuan Mountain" he has found, and the result still leaves him clueless.

In the past three years, Song Qingming has crossed the four continents of "Donghuang Country", traveling and looking for several places on the scroll he carried with him.

It's just a pity that although the place he found is called "Yuxuan Mountain", there is no information related to "Taixu Palace" on it.

The place where Song Qingming just left is already the fourth position on the scroll.

Although there is a declining foundation-building sect on the "Yuxuan Mountain", Song Qingming has been wandering around the mountain for more than a month and still hasn't found the place he wants to find, so he can only leave this place with a little disappointment.

After leaving "Yuxuan Mountain" where he had stayed for almost two months, Song Qingming flew south for half a day and came to a tall market called "Tianguifang".

Seeing that many cultivators were queuing up to enter the city at the gate of the market, Song Qingming ignored them and directly bypassed the team and strode to the city gate.

The low-level cultivators who were queuing, when they saw someone breaking the rules and trying to cut in line to enter the market, all looked at Song Qingming with some surprise.

However, when they felt the unfathomable pressure coming from Song Qingming, these people immediately put away their curious eyes and replaced them with a respectful look.

"Another Jindan senior has come. He must be here to attend the Tiangui Sect Conference!"

"I didn't expect to see two Jindan seniors just after coming here today. It seems that this conference should be more attractive than the last one!"

"Hehe! Daoyou, I don't know, but I have heard that the Tiangui Sect has prepared several third-level corpse puppets for this conference. These are spiritual objects that Jindan cultivators are excited about. This time it will definitely be more lively than the last time!"

"Oh! So that's the case. It seems that the Tiangui Sect has really invested a lot this time!"

"..."

Song Qingming ignored the eyes of the people around him and came directly to the entrance of the market gate!

Seeing that the person who came was a Jindan cultivator, the foundation-building cultivator of the "Tiangui Sect" who was guarding the door hurriedly bowed to Song Qingming.

"Excuse me, senior, are you here to attend our sect's conference in five days?"

"Yes! I just passed by here. I heard that your sect was holding a conference, so I came to see it. Are there any requirements for participating in this conference?" Song Qingming nodded gently in response to the other party.

The foundation-building cultivator of the "Tiangui Sect" shook his head and said, "Our sect's conference does not prohibit outsiders from participating. Senior, you only need to bring this item when you arrive, and you can directly enter the auction."

After that person finished speaking, he respectfully gave Song Qingming a gold medal representing his identity, and immediately ordered people to make way for Song Qingming to enter the market.

Seeing that he walked in so easily, Song Qingming's face was slightly surprised.

"It seems that this "Tiangui Sect" is really as they said, not excluding outsiders, and there are not so many rules. It's really convenient."

After thinking about it in his heart, Song Qingming walked into the market happily, and soon found an inn inside to stay temporarily.

Although most of the orthodox sects in the world of immortal cultivation are quite averse to the art of refining corpse puppets, there are still a few sects that specialize in this art.

"Tiangui Sect" is a Yuanying sect famous for refining various corpse puppets. Although their strength is not very strong in the world of immortal cultivation in "Donghuang Country", they are not among the top ten Yuanying sects.

But if we talk about the art of refining corpse puppets, "Tiangui Sect" is one of the top immortal cultivation sects in this immortal cultivation world and even in the entire Donghuang Xianzhou, and the sect's foundation is not to be underestimated.

Two months ago, after Song Qingming came to the "Yuxuan Mountain" not far away, he learned from the monks of the foundation-building sect on the mountain that the "Tiangui Sect" was about to hold an auction nearby.

After hearing about this, Song Qingming also became interested in the conference held by the "Tiangui Sect", so he stayed there for a while, until today when he learned the specific time of the conference, he came here alone.

After staying in "Tianguifang" for a few days, the market gradually became lively, and the streets were crowded with cultivators from all directions.

Some of these people were vassal sects and family forces near "Tiangui Sect", and many were casual cultivators from other places who rushed to join in the fun after hearing the news like Song Qingming, and some were disciples of Yuanying Sects nearby who were on good terms with "Tiangui Sect".

After traveling in the immortal world of "Donghuang Country" for so many years, Song Qingming had also participated in many such trade fairs, but the scale of the trade fairs he participated in before was relatively small.

This was the first time that Song Qingming participated in a large-scale trade fair held by a Yuanying Sect like "Tiangui Sect".

Similar to the large-scale trade fair in the Floating Cloud Mountains, the trade fair held by "Tiangui Sect" this time also separated the spiritual objects needed by high-level cultivators and low-level cultivators at different times and places.

A few days before the trade fair, most of the items taken out were relatively low-level first- and second-level spiritual objects. There were very few spiritual objects above level three, and there was no need for auction bidding. As long as you had enough spiritual stones, you could basically buy them.

On the fourth day, the auction venue located in the middle of the market officially began to auction those high-level spiritual objects, and those cultivators with foundation building and above in the market soon gathered here.

As a Jindan cultivator, Song Qingming was immediately arranged by the cultivators of the "Tiangui Sect" to the second floor of the auction as soon as he entered the venue. Only Jindan cultivators were qualified to enter the VIP area.

"Tiangui Sect" was quite generous to these high-level cultivators who came to participate in the auction. Not only did they arrange a maid to serve in a separate private room, but they also prepared some spiritual tea and spiritual fruits very thoughtfully.

After Song Qingming sat down, the maid next to him immediately took the initiative to come forward and briefly introduce the rules of the auction to him, as well as some spiritual objects that might appear next.

After patiently listening to the other party for a while, Song Qingming picked up two low-level spiritual fruits on the table and handed them to her, and asked softly:

"You just said that there will be a Jindan-level corpse puppet in this auction, so do you know all the other spiritual objects that will appear?"

Seeing the spiritual fruit in Song Qingming's hand, the maid who was only in the Qi Refining Stage had inadvertently revealed a bit of surprise in her eyes, but she still resisted the temptation in her heart and waved her hand to Song Qingming to decline his kindness.

"Senior! These spiritual objects are for you, the distinguished guests of the sect. We are not qualified to enjoy them. If the elders of the sect know about it, Qingling will not be able to explain it.

Senior, if you have any questions, just tell me directly. Qingling will not dare to lie if she knows!"

"Haha! This spiritual fruit is of no use to me. It can only satisfy my appetite. Don't be nervous. I will definitely not mention this to others when I go out. Just be careful!"

The low-level spiritual fruit in Song Qingming's hand is indeed of no use to a Jindan cultivator like him, but it is different for a low-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Period like Qingling.

Even if you don't refine it yourself, you can exchange it for some spiritual stones to speed up your own cultivation.

"Thank you very much, senior!" After hesitating for a long time, seeing that Song Qingming looked serious and didn't seem to be teasing her, Qingling happily accepted the spiritual fruit he handed over and carefully put it into her storage bag.

"In addition to what you just mentioned, are there any spiritual objects that can improve the cultivation of these corpse puppets at the auction held by your sect this time?"

Hearing Song Qingming's question, Qingling immediately nodded slightly and replied: "Don't worry, senior, there will definitely be this. Our Tiangui Sect is the sect that is most proficient in the art of refining corpse puppets in the entire Donghuang Xianzhou. In terms of cultivating corpse puppets, we naturally have many unique methods.

No matter what level of corpse puppet you want to cultivate, you can find the corresponding spiritual objects here. Don't worry, I will remind you later."

"Well! Then trouble you."

Unlike puppet beasts, corpse puppets can continue to improve their cultivation after they are successfully refined, but because they have lost their spiritual intelligence, they have lost the ability to cultivate independently.

Therefore, they can only rely on external forces or elixirs and spiritual objects to continue to improve the cultivation of the refined corpse puppets. In this way, the difficulty is much more difficult than that of cultivators who can practice normally.

Since he refined the "Golden Wind" that year, Song Qingming has become a little richer these years, and he occasionally feeds him some elixirs and spiritual objects, but his cultivation level is growing too slowly, and he is still only at the peak of the first level of the Golden Core.

This time, Song Qingming came to the "Tiangui Sect" auction, in addition to wanting to see if he could buy some spiritual objects that are useful to him.

He also wanted to try his luck at the auction, to see if he could find a way to help "Golden Wind" break through his own cultivation level, so that his strength could be further enhanced.

After all, this guy has been following him for so many years and has made a lot of efforts. It is naturally very beneficial for Song Qingming to be able to help him improve his cultivation.

This time, Song Qingming came out, in addition to looking for follow-up clues to the "Yuxuan Sutra" technique, he also wanted to travel around, and was not in a hurry to travel. He naturally didn't want to miss this rare large-scale trade fair.

As the two were talking, the auction site below was slowly filled with people. Even the private rooms on the second floor that were prepared for Jindan cultivators were mostly occupied by cultivators.

Song Qingming took a quick glance and found that there were probably nearly a hundred Jindan cultivators who had just come to the auction. The excitement was no less than when he attended the "Star Conference" held by the Wu Kingdom Star Sect.

The time for the auction had arrived. A ruddy-faced old man in the late Jindan stage came directly to the stage and said a few words of welcome in front of everyone, and then directly announced the official start of the first auction.

As a powerful Yuanying sect, "Tiangui Sect" has naturally been preparing for a long time to hold this auction that is held only once every few decades.

The first auction spiritual object that was taken out was a third-level lower-grade alchemy furnace of good quality, which instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire auction site.

This kind of high-level alchemy furnace has always been the favorite treasure of alchemists. It can not only be used for alchemy in daily life, but also used as a magic weapon for sacrifice. Its value is far beyond the comparison of ordinary magic weapons of the same level.

The auctioneer of "Tiangui Sect" just introduced the treasure in his hand and announced the start of bidding. The price of this alchemy furnace immediately soared from 8,000 spirit stones to more than 20,000.

Finally, after a fight among more than a dozen cultivators on the scene, a man in white at the sixth level of Jindan successfully won the item at a high price of 26,000 spirit stones.

Taking advantage of the heat caused by the first auction item, "Tiangui Sect" immediately took out two third-level spirit talismans that had been prepared long ago, and continued to drive the atmosphere of the auction venue.

However, looking at the very hot scene on the scene, Song Qingming, who was sitting in the private room, always looked around calmly and did not speak to participate in the bidding.

Although the spiritual objects brought out by the "Tiangui Sect" are indeed high-level spiritual objects that are difficult to find outside, they are not what Song Qingming needs urgently, so he has no interest in competing with others.

Until the end of the first day of the auction, Song Qingming did not get any other spiritual objects except for a bottle of level 3 elixir required for cultivation.

When the auction started on the second day, the "Tiangui Sect" finally brought out the unique spiritual object "corpse puppet" in the sect, which rekindled the passion of the monks participating in the auction.

"My fellow Taoists have come from afar, and I believe that many of you have come here for the unique skills of our Tiangui Sect. Don't miss these second-level corpse puppets.

These corpse puppets are made from the corpses of demon cultivators or bandit cultivators killed by our sect. We can guarantee the origin of each one, and it will definitely not cause any trouble to you.

But let me make it clear in advance that our sect can only guarantee that there is no problem with the origin of this corpse puppet. If you get the corpse puppet and encounter those who claim to be righteous and unreasonable people who use it to embarrass you, we will not be responsible for this. I hope you will think clearly before taking action."

In the world of cultivating immortals, some disciples of the righteous sects with more extreme personalities are very disgusted with cultivators using the corpses of the dead to refine "corpse puppets". Once they encounter it, there are many people who will fight if they disagree.

This situation is okay in the Floating Cloud Mountain Immortal Cultivation World, a small place with relatively scarce resources. However, in a large Immortal Cultivation World like the "Donghuang Country" where there are many large sects and the flow of cultivators is relatively frequent, it is easy to encounter such people if you are unlucky.

Because Bai Yuxian had reminded Song Qingming of this before he set out, he also did not dare to easily reveal his identity as "Jin Feng" in front of others when he traveled in the immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Country" in recent years.

Although the "Tiangui Sect" had reminded everyone of this in person, there were still many cultivators present who came specifically for the "corpse puppets" on the stage, and naturally did not care about this matter.

As the "Tiangui Sect" cultivator who hosted the auction announced the start of the auction, the foundation-building cultivators below were instantly ignited, and the bids were transmitted to the stage one after another.

Seeing that the auction masters had already stood in a row, and each of them had a cultivation level no less than that of the "corpse puppets" in the foundation-building stage, Song Qingming's eyes also showed a hint of interest.

Seeing this, Qingling, who was waiting on the side, immediately took the initiative to introduce to Song Qingming some of the special features of these corpse puppets refined by the "Tiangui Sect".

As a Nascent Soul Sect that has been passed down for nearly 10,000 years, the "Tiangui Sect" has many secret methods for refining and cultivating corpse puppets. They can use some low-level demon beast spirits or ghost cultivator spirits to refine a large number of low-level corpse puppets.

Then use some special secret methods in the sect to slowly cultivate these corpse puppets to high levels step by step, and continuously provide high-level corpse puppets for the sect.

After the "corpse puppet" recognizes the master, it cannot be traded or transferred to other cultivators like a puppet, but the "Tiangui Sect" has its own unique secret method, which can cultivate a "corpse puppet" to the foundation-building or even golden elixir realm without recognizing the master.

Therefore, they can treat these things as ordinary spiritual objects and put them on the auction site for auction. The sale of these corpse puppets can also bring a lot of income to the "Tiangui Sect", the Nascent Soul Sect, every year.

A "corpse puppet" in the foundation-building period, if used properly, can be as powerful as an ordinary cultivator of the same level, and is much more powerful than the puppet beast of the same level.

If an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of foundation building brings a "corpse puppet" of the same level to help, he can at least increase his combat power by more than 30%, and sometimes he can even compete with a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. How can this not make the cultivators who come here excited?

Soon, the first "corpse puppet" in the early stage of foundation building was auctioned in front of Song Qingming for 6,000 spirit stones.

Although he was prepared in his heart and knew that the price of these "corpse puppets" must be not cheap, Song Qingming was still a little surprised after seeing such a high price with his own eyes.

After thinking about it, he still felt that it was not worthwhile, and slowly let go of the idea of ​​bidding for one or two foundation building "corpse puppets".

After all, "corpse puppets" can only improve personal strength, and are more suitable for those independent cultivators who are eager to improve their own fighting strength. They are far less helpful to the family than puppet beasts.

It would be better to spend more than 7,000 spirit stones to buy a "corpse puppet" in the foundation-building stage, and then directly exchange it for a foundation-building pill. Maybe you can cultivate another foundation-building cultivator for the family.

Not only Song Qingming, but also the Jindan cultivators sitting on the second floor, almost all of them looked down on these "corpse puppets" with only foundation-building cultivation. Few people made offers, and almost all the people who participated in the competition for this item were the foundation-building cultivators in the audience.

Song Qingming also knew that these Jindan cultivators sitting upstairs were almost all here for the news released by the "Tiangui Sect" before, about the Jindan "corpse puppets". (End of this chapter)
