"Fellow Daoist Kong, please!"
Qingyueju is a merchant guild similar to Luoxianmen, with immense power and influence spanning dozens of states.
The name used by Lu Tao's clone is still Kong Hao.
Upon arriving at Qingyue Residence, we were politely welcomed inside by an elderly man.
"Elder Meng, you're too kind!"
Lu Tao nodded to the old man and asked, "Elder Meng, what kind of cultivation technique does the cultivator who came after the bounty have?"
Elder Meng shook his head and said, "I don't know. He will only speak after you arrive."
Lu Tao nodded slightly upon hearing this.
The martial arts techniques offered as rewards are inherently unique and extremely rare. Whether the person who obtains the technique or creates it themselves, their strength or talent is extraordinary, making them easy targets for others to covet.
It's only natural to be cautious.
Soon, led by Elder Meng, the two arrived at a room on the sixth floor of Qingyue Residence.
Inside the room, a large man sat cross-legged with a calm expression.
Judging from his cultivation level, he is at the Heavenly God realm.
"Fellow Daoist Jie Han, Fellow Daoist Kong Hao."
Elder Meng briefly introduced the two to each other, and then said, "You two can do as you please with the rest of the transaction. I will just watch from the sidelines."
"Thank you, Elder Monk."
Lu Tao nodded to Elder Meng, then transmitted his voice to Xie Han, saying, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xie. May I ask what kind of cultivation technique you possess?"
Since it was a bounty, Lu Tao was straightforward and didn't mince words.
In order to protect Xie Han's secret, he chose to transmit his voice.
Elder Meng didn't care about this.
Jie Han replied, "Senior Kong, what I possess is a summoning technique, the Way of Summoning, however..."
Jie Han hesitated for a moment before continuing, "However, the cultivation technique I possess is of a low grade, only of the lower Heaven Rank. At most, it can only be bound to a being with the cultivation level of a late-stage Martial God and then summoned."
Summoning spell?
Lu Tao's eyes lit up; he found it quite interesting.
I don't really care about the grade of the cultivation technique.
Lu Tao smiled and said, "According to the bounty, you can exchange for pills, divine stones, weapons and equipment, etc. So, what do you choose to trade?"
After a moment of contemplation, Jie Han's expression became somewhat conflicted. Finally, she gritted her teeth and, with a hint of trepidation, transmitted her voice, "May I ask if Senior Kong has any pills that can improve one's aptitude?"
Jie Han added, "I know this request is a bit excessive, but I have no other choice. I have good comprehension, but poor aptitude. If I cannot improve my aptitude, I am afraid I will have difficulty advancing to the Divine Lord level in this lifetime."
Lu Tao fell silent upon hearing this.
He could tell at a glance that Jie Han's aptitude was indeed not high, only top-grade.
and.
Lu Tao also knew that Jie Han's top-grade aptitude was improved after taking the Transcendent Pill; otherwise, his aptitude would have been even worse.
This is because Jie Han is not a fake marrow refiner.
This indicates that when he advanced to the Innate Realm, his aptitude was not yet at the lowest level of the highest grade.
Yet, he has cultivated to the level of a celestial god with a bone age of about a thousand years, which shows his extraordinary comprehension.
However, Lu Tao was not a freeloader. Even if a low-grade Heaven-rank cultivation technique was extremely rare, its value could not compare to that of a Divine Transformation Pill.
Therefore.
Lu Tao thought for a moment and said, "I do have a Nascent Soul Pill, but you can't exchange a mere cultivation manual for it."
After speaking, Lu Tao looked at Xie Han.
Upon hearing this, Jie Han was initially delighted, but then her expression froze, and she became somewhat dejected.
Yes, how can a low-grade Heaven-rank cultivation technique compare to a pill like the Divine Transformation Pill?
However, he had no other valuable items left, so Jie Han was at a loss for what to do.
The opportunity to soar to great heights was right in front of him, but he found himself unable to seize it.
Jie Han was completely bewildered. Then, with a bitter expression, she placed a spatial treasure in front of Lu Tao and said, "Senior, this is all that I have, including the summoning technique. Although its value is low, this is all that I can offer."
Lu Tao glanced at it casually, then a thought struck him.
He discovered that although Jie Han's possessions were few and of low value, he seemed to have collected many other techniques as references in order to create his own summoning technique.
Lu Tao thought for a moment, then put away the cultivation techniques, formations, pill formulas, and dust-removing herbs. He then put a Nascent Soul Pill into a ring, placed it in Jie Han's spatial treasure in front of him, and returned it to him, saying, "That's fine, take a look for yourself."
"Yes, senior."
Jie Han hurriedly took the spatial treasure, and when she saw the Nascent Soul Pill inside, she couldn't help but get excited. She quickly bowed to Lu Tao in gratitude, "Thank you for your generosity, senior."
"You are welcome!"
Lu Tao shook his head, not caring. The Dust-Clearing Grass he obtained from Jie Han alone was enough to be worth a Nascent Soul Pill.
Lu Tao then handed the ten thousand low-grade divine stones he had prepared to Elder Meng, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Elder Meng."
This was agreed upon beforehand.
The fee paid to have Qingyueju post a reward is for the publicity of the reward, while there is a separate fee for transactions within Qingyueju.
It's somewhat similar to taking a cut in an auction.
However, bounty transactions are quite special, so Qingyue Residence only charges a fixed fee of 10,000 low-grade divine stones, regardless of the value of the specific cultivation technique you are trading.
"No problem, no problem."
Elder Meng put away the divine stone, revealing a satisfied smile, and said, "Now that the transaction is over, you two are free to do as you please. If you need anything, I can arrange it for you."
"I need to buy some pills, so I won't trouble you, Senior. I can go downstairs and buy them myself."
Jie Han was also a man of social graces. Since the transaction had just been completed, he felt he had to spend some money at Qingyue Residence before leaving. He bowed to Elder Meng and Lu Tao and said, "Farewell, seniors."
Jie Han bowed and withdrew.
Lu Tao then stood up and said, "Elder Meng, thank you. If there are any more bounty offers, please let me know."
"Of course!"
Elder Meng smiled and then watched Jie Han and Lu Tao leave.
...
"Hmm, not bad, Qingyue Residence is quite law-abiding."
Lu Tao's clone brought the cultivation technique back to the small world. Lu Tao put away many items and did not try to comprehend or add points to it for the time being. Instead, he kept an eye on the movements of Jie Han and Qingyue Residence.
He didn't want anything to happen to Jie Han, nor did he want Qingyueju to do anything like secretly murdering and stealing treasures.
This will affect the progress of the bounty.
Fortunately, Qingyue Residence followed the rules and did not send any powerful individuals to cause trouble for Jie Han.
Meanwhile, Lu Tao secretly protected Jie Han, keeping him away from Yizhou. Only after confirming that he was safe did he turn his attention away.
then.
Lu Tao sent a message to Elder Meng, instructing Qingyue Residence to cancel the bounty for summoning-type cultivation techniques.
Lu Tao then began to comprehend and add points to the summoning technique. However, only half a quarter of an hour later, he received another message that another cultivator had come to the merchant guild to trade techniques.
Lu Tao gladly went.
To Lu Tao's delight, ever since he traded summoning techniques with Jie Han, it seemed to have a chain reaction, with more than thirty bounty techniques appearing in the next few hours.
Lu Tao learned this through questioning.
In fact, these cultivators had known about the bounty for the past half month.
However, due to various concerns, he has been hesitant to take action.
When Qingyueju removed the bounty for summoning techniques, they knew that some cultivators had already made deals with Qingyueju through the bounty.
and.
During this period, no news of any accidents involving the cultivators who went to Qingyue Residence for transactions was reported.
They all knew that whoever dared to be the first to make the deal must have made thorough preparations, and if anything happened to that cultivator, news would definitely break out.
Since there was no such incident, it means that the cultivator involved in the transaction was safe after it was completed.
Therefore, they were able to go to Qingyueju to trade with peace of mind.
During the transaction, Lu Tao was generous, paying prices that exceeded their expectations and ensuring they left satisfied.
After the transaction was completed, the Immortal Sect continued to secretly protect them until they were sure they were safe before leaving.
That's how it is.
In just one day, Lu Tao traded more than fifty kinds of cultivation techniques, which can be described as a great harvest.
It has to be said.
There are indeed many geniuses in the desolate region.
It's truly unbelievable that someone could acquire over fifty different techniques in a single day, given how rare they are.
but.
What impressed Lu Tao was that most of these cultivators were at the Heavenly God realm.
They are simply born with a rare talent, but their aptitude, comprehension, and other qualities are nothing special compared to their talent; they are rather ordinary.
Those with exceptional comprehension, like Jie Han, are extremely rare.
Most of the cultivation techniques traded by cultivators are below the Heavenly Rank.
Of course, there are also Desolate-level cultivation techniques, but they are not created by the cultivators who traded, but rather obtained by chance.
And so, the trading of cultivation techniques proceeded steadily.
Because no unexpected incidents occurred with the bounty offered by Qingyue Residence, many cultivators chose to trade with Lu Tao at Qingyue Residence.
but.
Some monks also chose to trade with other merchant guilds because of the long distance.
But an unexpected turn of events occurred.
After a transaction at another merchant guild called Huanyang Pavilion, Lu Tao, while secretly protecting the safety of the cultivators involved in the transaction, discovered that Huanyang Pavilion had actually dispatched powerful individuals to follow them, seemingly intending to intercept and kill the cultivators who were trading cultivation techniques.
"court death!"
Lu Tao was furious.
Then, without any hesitation, he shot and killed that powerful Divine Lord with an arrow, annihilating both his soul and spirit.
This incident greatly angered Huanyang Pavilion, but they were unable to find the culprit.
After a subsequent transaction, they made their move again, this time sending a God-King level expert.
result……
What made Huanyang Pavilion uneasy was that their God King was also killed, and even before his death, he was unable to send any message.
This made them feel a chill run down their spines, and after that, they never dared to do anything reckless again.
Lu Tao acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to engage in bounty hunting and transactions with them without incident.
But I've decided to publicize this matter properly later.
Another half month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Tao has already traded over a hundred cultivation techniques, and there are still over sixty more that he hasn't obtained yet.
That day.
Lu Tao's first transaction at another chamber of commerce turned out to be unexpected...
