Chapter 696 Go to the East China Sea to trade materials
Because after the monster turmoil, most countries around the Fuyun Mountains obtained a large amount of monster materials during this great turmoil. The most indispensable thing in Dafang City is various low-level monster materials.
Only those relatively rare high-level monster materials of level three or above are still relatively popular in the market.
The Song family has also harvested a lot of monster materials from "Jinshanfang". It is difficult to sell them all in a short time in the surrounding cities, so they need to get them farther away to exchange them for spirit stones faster. .
Therefore, Song Qingming had already had the idea in his mind to go to the East China Sea Immortal Realm to deal with these monster materials in the family treasury.
Many of the monster materials in the Fuyun Mountains are relatively rare in the East China Sea Cultivation World. After being transported to the East China Sea Cultivation World, the price can be higher.
In previous years, after every demonic beast turmoil, "Xiaoyao Sect" and other immortal cultivating sects around the Fuyun Mountains would also send out large flying boats to transport demonic beast materials to the East China Sea cultivating world for sale in exchange for other spiritual objects.
Hearing that Song Qingming had this idea, Huang Siyuan also nodded and said: "This is a good idea. I know a few familiar shops in Tiandan City, so getting rid of these monster materials is not a problem.
If all the monster materials stored by the family could be transported to Tiandan City, the price would be at least about 20% higher than if the family sold them in Chiyanfang. This deal is still a good deal for us. "
"Senior Sister Li, Seventh Brother, and sister-in-law all have level three flying boats. If they don't take others with them, it's almost enough to transport the monster materials stored in the family's Golden Pavilion.
It's a pity that we don't have a large flying boat. Otherwise, we can collect all the monster materials from the vassal families below. In this way, we can earn a lot of spiritual stones from a trip to the East China Sea. "Song Qingyu sighed with some regret.
Li Xuanyi and Song Qingming are both people who have been cultivating pills for many years, and the third-level flying boats they carry are all high-quality third-level mid-grade flying boats.
Although Huang Siyuan has not been forming pills for a long time, she has been visiting "Tiandan City" for many years. She also used her status as an outer sect elder to exchange her merits and spiritual stones in the alliance for a third-level low-grade flying boat.
Although the quality and flying speed of Huang Siyuan's flying boat are not as good as those of Song Qingming and his two mid-level third-level flying boats, it is usually enough for her, an early-stage golden elixir cultivator.
Song Qingyu didn't go out to collect the natal flying sword "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" because it could replace the flying boat. In recent years, he basically used it to travel around.
Song Qingming laughed when he heard this and said: "Haha! Although large flying boats are rare, as long as the family can develop steadily in the future, these things will gradually become available. You don't have to be so greedy for a while."
Although the large flying boats in the hands of "Xiaoyao Sect" are much slower than the small flying boats used by Song Qingming and other Jindan monks, the number of monks and goods it can carry is not comparable to that of small flying boats.
Under normal circumstances, a large third-level flying boat can carry thousands of monks at a time. Even if the Song family moves the entire Hidden Gold Pavilion, it can fit it.
However, the construction blueprints for such large flying boats are generally in the hands of large sects above Nascent Soul, and are rarely available on the market.
Moreover, building a large flying boat requires at least hundreds of monks who are proficient in weapon refining skills to operate it at the same time. It is not something that an ordinary Jindan family like the Song family is capable of building now.
This kind of third-level large flying boat will also be sold by some large sects outside. When Song Qingming was cultivating in the "East Phoenix Kingdom" in the immortal world, he once saw someone selling this item at a large auction.
Although there were not many bidders at that time, the object was eventually sold for a high price of 70,000 spirit stones, which was much higher than Song Qingming's third-level mid-grade "Phantom Boat". Indeed, it is not something that ordinary cultivating families can afford. of.
Although the Song family currently does not have the ability to own a spiritual object of this level, as Song Qingming said, as long as the family develops slowly and steadily, it is possible for them to own a large flying boat one day.
"Okay! This matter has been settled. Junior Brother Song, after arriving in Donghai, you just go about your business. I will be with Qingyu."
Don't worry. After we travel around the East China Sea, it's almost time for me to go back. I won't always cause you trouble. "After Li Xuanyi finished speaking, he lightly glanced at Song Qingming from the corner of his eyes, as if he was still a little dissatisfied with what he had said before.
In response to this, Song Qingming, who could only turn his gaze away, felt helpless in his heart.
The last time Li Xuanyi helped the sect fight against the turmoil of monsters, the protective means left to him by his master, Taoist Master Lingxu, had already been used on the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor". Now, if she encounters any danger outside, she will never be able to protect her. There is no such trump card to defeat the enemy.
Therefore, after she came out of seclusion, Song Qingming still hoped that Li Xuanyi could quickly return to the "East Phoenix Kingdom" to cultivate immortality out of consideration for her personal safety.
However, the temper of my senior sister is indeed a bit difficult to understand. Even though she knows that Song Qingming is thinking about her, she is not afraid of these dangers and likes to travel around.
After knowing that he could not persuade the other party, Song Qingming did not dare to say more to Li Xuanyi, lest he would make her unhappy again if he spoke too much.
After the four people discussed in person to go to the East China Sea to cultivate immortals, Song Qingming immediately conveyed instructions to Song Yuan Fanghe and Song Yuanqian, asking them to seize the time to sort out all the materials on monsters and beasts in the family's Golden Pavilion.
Although the monster turmoil had just passed and the territory of Wei State was still very peaceful, Song Qingming personally went to the "Xiaoyao Sect" to say hello to the headmaster Bai Yuxian for safety reasons, asking the sect to help look after Qinghe County.
Hearing that Song Qingming was going to take Huang Siyuan and others to the East China Sea Xiuxian World to purchase some spiritual objects, Bai Yuxian also guessed that Song Qingming might want to do business.
The Song family got so many monster materials from the "Jinshanfang". As the headmaster, Bai Yuxian naturally knew it in her heart, but these were things that the sect had already tacitly agreed to. She didn't say much about it and quickly nodded in agreement.
After Song Yuanfang and others prepared for a few days, they finally sorted and sorted all the monster materials and moved them out of the family's gold storage pavilion one by one.
After moving all these materials onto the flying boat that Song Qingming and others had already prepared, several escape lights soon flew out from the "Funiu Mountain" and went directly east through the "Chiyanfang" and entered the Yunwu Mountain.
This time, in addition to Song Qingming and his four companions, Song Yuanqian and Song Xuanfeng also traveled with them to the East Sea Xiuxian Realm.
The reason for bringing them along was not only to let them go out and gain some experience, but also to save some effort when Song Qingming and his companions counted the monster materials after arriving at "Tiandan City".
Li Xuanyi, Song Qingming, and Huang Siyuan controlled their own flying boats to carry the goods, while Song Yuanqian and Song Xuanfeng followed their elder Song Qingyu on the "Xuanming Jinguang Sword".
Because the flying boat was carrying too much goods, the speed of the group was much slower than usual, and it took a full two days to pass through the Yunwu Mountain in the east.
After entering the territory of Zheng State, Song Qingming and his companions were stunned by the extremely miserable scene in front of them, and they couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Because Zheng State did not have a Yuanying Sect, almost every time there was a monster riot, a lot of territory would be occupied by the monster army heading south, and a lot of cultivators and mortals would also be lost.
During this monster riot, even with the help of "Tianji Sect", the two sects of Zheng State still lost to "Chiyun Mountain" and lost many sacred mountains and markets.
Even though the monsters retreated to the north, "Tianxing" and "Minghe" sects recovered most of the territory, but the north of Zheng State was also seriously injured. The places where Song Qingming and his companions passed by were full of bones, and there were few people at all.
Those markets where people came and went and gathered monks were also in ruins at this moment. Some of them even had not recovered the mountain protection formation. There were ruins everywhere and there were few people at all.
Seeing such a miserable scene in Zheng State, Song Qingming and others were secretly glad that the Song family's territory was not as miserable as this side.
The location where the few people were located was close to the north of Zheng State. Although the monster riot had ended, there were still smoke everywhere in the north of Zheng State at this time, and many monsters were hiding.
This also made Song Qingming and his companions who were on the road a little nervous. They changed their direction and tried to move closer to the south, fearing that they would run into the monster army that had not yet evacuated.
After almost three days of fear, Song Qingming and his companions finally successfully passed through the more dangerous Zheng State and entered a small country in the surrounding area with a slightly better situation. Everyone slowly let down their guard.
The rest of the journey was relatively smooth. After passing through the huge "Duanyun Mountains", they directly entered the East China Sea Xiuxian Realm. It took about one and a half months before and finally arrived outside the "Tian Dan City" located in the sea.
With Huang Siyuan, the outer sect elder of the "Tian Dan League" leading the way, Song Qingming and his companions' entry procedures were much simpler than before. They just registered their identities and quickly entered the city.
Since Huang Siyuan formed a pill, Song Qingming has not been to "Tian Dan City" for more than 40 years.
However, the impression this place gave him was no different from decades ago, and it was still as prosperous as before.
Although the size of "Tian Dan City" is not as large as the "Xian Yuan City" in the "Dong Huang Country" Xiu Xian World, it is already the most prosperous place in the Fuyun Mountains and the East China Sea Xiu Xian World.
This is mainly due to the huge influence of the "Tian Dan League". After all, this place gathers more than 30% of the high-level alchemists in the entire East China Sea Xiu Xian World. If the nearby cultivators want to ask for any elixir, coming to "Tian Dan City" is their best choice.
Following behind several Jindan cultivators, the two younger generations of the family, Song Yuanqian and Song Xuanfeng, came to a large city like "Tian Dan City" for the first time. Seeing such a lively and prosperous scene, they couldn't help but exclaimed.
The streets of "Tian Dan City" are crowded with people, and foundation-building cultivators can be seen everywhere. Even Jindan cultivators like Song Qingming will not cause a sensation here as easily as in other places.
Compared with the Floating Cloud Mountains, the spiritual resources in the East Sea Xiuxian World are also richer. Various second-level spiritual pills that are rarely seen in the Weiguo Market are not rare spiritual objects at all in "Tian Dan City". You can find them in any small shop on the street.
Li Xuanyi, a Jindan cultivator who often travels around and has seen a lot, was also attracted by the fresh spiritual objects displayed in the surrounding shops after entering the prosperous "Tian Dan City". From time to time, he asked Song Qingyu beside him about the uses of these spiritual objects.
The group first found an inn in the market and stayed there. Then, under the leadership of Huang Siyuan, they came to a shop called "Wanlingtang".
A late-stage foundation-building monk who runs this shop saw Huang Siyuan and Song Qingming and others walking into the shop, and immediately stepped forward and bowed to them.
"Haha! I always feel like there will be distinguished guests coming to my door today. It turns out that you are back, Senior Huang. Seniors and juniors, please be polite!"
After Huang Siyuan joined the "Tiandan Alliance", she would come to the East China Sea almost every one or two years, and occasionally help her family buy some supplies in the "Tiandan City".
In addition to "Tiandan Pavilion", this "Wan Ling Tang" is also a shop that she often visited before, so the shop owner is already very familiar with Huang Siyuan, a senior.
"Shopkeeper Liu, these guys came with me from the Fuyun Mountains. I came to you today to ask if we have a batch of monster materials that we want to sell. Does your store need to purchase them?"
When they met, Huang Siyuan didn't be too reserved with the other party, and immediately went straight to the point and stated the purpose of her trip.
Hearing that Huang Siyuan was coming to sell monster materials, Shopkeeper Liu was a little surprised at first, but when he thought that Huang Siyuan and the others were coming from the Fuyun Mountains, he understood instantly and hurriedly smiled and nodded:
"Seniors, please go inside first! Our store naturally accepts monster materials, but I don't know how many monster materials the seniors have in their hands. Can you let me take a look first?"
Shopkeeper Liu said as he warmly greeted Song Qingming and others into a secret room in the back hall of the store.
"It's natural. What we brought this time are all good monster materials. Just don't make mistakes."
After Shopkeeper Liu closed the door, Huang Siyuan immediately motioned to Song Yuanqian who was standing aside, and asked her to hand over a ledger that she had prepared to record the information on monsters and beasts.
Looking at the numerous monster materials recorded in the ledger, shopkeeper Liu's eyes shone brightly, and he quickly discussed the price with Huang Siyuan and Song Yuanqian.
Many of the monster materials brought by the Song family are not available in the East China Sea Immortal Realm, so the price is naturally higher than those in Weiguo under normal circumstances.
Song Yuanqian has been in charge of the family's Golden Pavilion in recent years, and has been dealing with various spiritual creatures every day. Not only is she well aware of the prices of various monster materials in the market, but she is also good at negotiating prices with others.
After several arguments, the shopkeeper Hu who was killed was a little resigned. He could only make a lot of concessions on the price before reaching an agreement with Song Yuanqian and purchasing a batch of monster materials from the Song family.
Seeing Song Yuanqian's outstanding performance, Li Xuanyi and others sitting next to her also looked at her with some admiration.
"Wan Ling Tang" was only a medium-sized store in Tiandan City. It was unable to buy all the monster materials brought by the Song family at once, and only purchased less than 30% of the materials they had.
After receiving the spirit stones from the other party and completing the transaction, Song Qingming and others took the initiative to say goodbye and leave, preparing to return to the inn to rest before continuing to sell the remaining monster materials on them tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, before Song Qingming and others could go out, a clerk from "Tiandan Pavilion" came to the door and invited them to the VIP room on the third floor of "Tiandan Pavilion".
"Haha! Junior Sister Huang and several fellow Taoists were busy with worldly affairs and were unable to go out to greet us. We apologize for any rudeness!"
Not long after Song Qingming and others arrived, an old man of about half a century with slightly white hair immediately stepped in. It was Ye Qiuyuan, the elder of the "Tiandan Alliance" who Song Qingming had not seen for many years.
"You are so polite, Fellow Daoist Ye. I just came here yesterday, and I wanted to finish my work first before visiting in a few days, but I didn't want Fellow Daoist to send someone to invite us so soon. After all, we were a little rude."
After Ye Qiuyuan glanced at Song Qingming's face, he smiled and explained: "Haha! It's a coincidence. I just came back yesterday and heard about several fellow Taoists going to Wanling Hall. Only then did I know Fellow Daoist Song, you have brought a batch of monster materials from Fuyun Mountain Range.
Although our Tiandan Pavilion is only interested in the business of elixirs, I still know a few friends in the city who deal with such spiritual items. Thinking that I can just help you, I took the initiative to invite Fellow Daoist Song over. Please forgive me. "
"Oh! I see, this is really troublesome for Fellow Daoist Ye." After hearing Ye Qiuyuan's explanation, Song Qingming instantly understood the other party's purpose of inviting him here, and quickly stood up and expressed his gratitude.
When he learned that Ye Qiuyuan invited him over in the morning, Song Qingming actually had some guesses in his mind. After all, Tiandan City was under the eyes of the "Tiandan Alliance". Ye Qiuyuan knew that it was not strange that they came here yesterday. things.
However, Song Qingming didn't expect that Ye Qiuyuan, a late-stage Jindan elder of the "Heavenly Pill Alliance", would be interested in the monster materials he brought.
When Ye Qiuyuan heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Haha! Fellow Taoist and I are acquaintances and friends, and Junior Sister Huang is one of our own, so there is no need to say thank you for such a small thing.
I don’t know how much monster material Daoist Song still has on his body. You might as well take it out and take a look at it. If it’s suitable, I’ll call for them immediately and collect them for you. This will save you the trouble again. "
"Well! What Fellow Daoist Ye said is reasonable, then I'll trouble you, Fellow Daoist!" After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took the account from Song Yuanqian who was standing behind him, and handed it to Ye Qiuyuan with his own hands.
Although I know that the reason why the other party takes the initiative to help is definitely to earn some price difference from it.
However, Ye Qiuyuan is an elder who has a say in the "Tian Dan League" after all. If giving him some benefits can get some favors, it is not a big loss.
After Ye Qiuyuan got the account and glanced at it, it was just as Song Qingming expected, and he immediately agreed with a smile.
Not long after, two Jindan cultivators who received the message from Ye Qiuyuan walked in from the door and greeted Song Qingming and others.
These two people are Jindan casual cultivators who have been running shops in "Tian Dan City" for many years. They have a very good relationship with Ye Qiuyuan. After looking at the monster material account in his hand, they agreed to purchase all the monster materials on the spot.
After the two sides negotiated for a while with the help of Ye Qiuyuan, they quickly determined the price of all the materials and purchased all the remaining monster materials brought by the Song family.
This time, because Ye Qiuyuan promoted it, Song Qingming also made a little concession on the final price, giving up about half of the profit to the other party.
After the deal was concluded, Ye Qiuyuan's face showed a bit of unconcealed joy, and he happily sent the two people who collected the spiritual objects away.
Seeing that all the monster materials he brought had been sold, Song Qingming felt a little more relaxed at this moment. After seeing Ye Qiuyuan turn around and walk back, he took the initiative to stand up and express his gratitude to him.
"Thanks to the help of fellow Daoist today, we have saved a lot of trouble. These spirit stones are a token of my appreciation. Please accept them."
Seeing the spirit stone bag in Song Qingming's hand, Ye Qiuyuan immediately shook his head with a serious look and said:
"I am just helping you to connect with each other. Fellow Daoist Song, please don't do this. You should quickly put away the spirit stones, so as not to hurt the friendship between us."
"Haha! I am also sincere. Fellow Daoist, please don't blame me. Since this matter has been settled, we will not stay here to disturb you. We will visit Fellow Daoist Ye another day."
Hearing the other party's refusal, Song Qingming did not insist too much. He smiled and put away the spirit stone bag in his hand, and said goodbye to Ye Qiuyuan.
"Fellow Daoist Song, wait a moment. I asked you to come today. In addition to this matter, I have something else to discuss with you. Please don't be anxious." Seeing that Song Qingming was about to leave, Ye Qiuyuan stopped him again.
"Oh! I don't know what else you want to say, but you can tell me!" Seeing this, Song Qingming sat back down.
Ye Qiuyuan first called the waiter outside to come in, and after replacing a new cup of spiritual tea for Song Qingming and others, he slowly said: "Fellow Daoist Song, you should have brought more than just these low-level monster materials when you came from the Floating Cloud Mountains this time.
I have been refining a furnace of high-level elixirs recently, and I just happen to be short of a high-level monster material. I would like to ask you if you have a level 3 or higher fire attribute demon king inner elixir.
If you have one, I am willing to offer you a price to exchange with you. I wonder if you are willing!"
"I do have a level 3 or higher fire attribute demon king inner elixir, but you should also know the value of this thing. I wonder what price you are willing to pay, please tell me first!"
Hearing that the other party wanted to exchange a level 3 demon king inner elixir with him, Song Qingming admitted that he had this thing, but he did not rush to agree to exchange with the other party. He planned to listen to the other party's offer before making a decision. (End of this chapter)
