Chapter 139 Danchen Palace
The scene changed suddenly, and in a moment, I was back in the Frost Abyss Forest.
Su Qingwu waved his sleeves, took out the map, and quickly found Danchen Palace.
It is located southwest of here, about two thousand miles away.
She set out immediately and rushed towards the corresponding area.
If they come across any old spiritual plants along the way, they will stop temporarily to pick them.
Half a day passed like this, and Su Qingwu gradually approached the sphere of influence of Danchen Palace.
The Hongyu can conceal the age of bones. With this treasure in hand, one will no longer attract the attention of other cultivators because of the age of bones.
The purpose of this trip was to make friends with Jindan cultivators, so she no longer concealed her cultivation level and directly adjusted the realm revealed to the late Jindan stage.
Danchen Palace is covered in ice and snow all year round, and most of the buildings in and around the palace are made of pure ice.
However, this style is not uncommon in Beihanzhou.
Su Qingwu had been flying all the way here and was already used to it.
There was a small market outside the palace. To get some information, she walked into it and came to a teahouse. She ordered a pot of spiritual tea and sipped it while listening to the conversation of the monks in the building.
Various discussions could be heard from time to time.
"At the beginning of next month, Senior Ling will hold his Dan-forming Ceremony. It should be very lively here then."
"Yes, I plan to set up a small stall in the market when the time comes, and sell some materials that I don't need while there are many people."
"Fang Daoyou, I'm afraid your plan will fail."
"Why is that?"
"Danchen Palace has sent invitations to all forces. At that time, there will be a strict curfew within a radius of thirty miles. This market happens to be within this range, so they will definitely send more people over."
"So what? Danchen Palace is trying to prevent someone from sabotaging the ceremony, and I won't do anything like that."
"According to past practice, as long as martial law is in place, individuals are not allowed to set up stalls in the market."
"Ah? How could this be? I have only been here for a short time and I don't understand these things yet. Thank you, Brother Li, for reminding me."
"Hey, can I attend the ceremony without an invitation?"
"That's not clear. We don't have any connections, so we can't find out about this."
"Hey, I heard a piece of gossip."
"What news? Fellow Daoist Zhang, why don't you tell us about it?"
"As long as you have reached the Golden Core stage, you can enter at any time without an invitation."
"Well, just because this news is said is not the same as not saying it. What kind of existence is a Jindan cultivator? He is too far away from us. Let's talk about the truth!"
"Yes, yes. In this world, strength often represents power. Those who can cultivate to the Golden Core are rare. They have privileges wherever they go. This can't be considered gossip, right? Aren't these all tacit rules?"
"My fellow Taoists, don't you find this strange?"
"What's so strange? Fellow Daoist Wang, don't speak halfway!"
"Jindan monks have special privileges and can enter at will. If someone with ill intentions disrupts the ceremony, there will be chaos!"
"Oh, what did I think it was! Fellow Daoist Wang, what you can think of, Danchen Palace must have considered, and there must be corresponding preparations. Why worry about it?"
"Well, that's true..."
"Don't think too much. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. It has nothing to do with us anyway."
"Yes, and besides, it is unlikely that young cultivators like us will be able to participate in this Jindan Ceremony. If we are lucky, we may be able to join in the fun from a distance. Anyway, don't hold out any hope."
......
Su Qingwu listened to the discussions, sipped his tea silently, and made a plan in his mind.
When the Jindan Ceremony was about to begin, she planned to go and take a look, and take this opportunity to get to know Ling Yueyao.
Although the incarnation of heaven recommended this woman, she has not made a decision.
If things don't work out, she will reconsider the candidate.
If you ask someone to do something, you can't do it for free. When the time comes, you have to find a suitable treasure as a reward.
It is a pity that there is no Jindan cultivator with thunder spiritual roots in Qianzhi Sect, otherwise returning to the sect directly would be a suitable choice.
Inside the teahouse, the discussion continued.
Su Qingwu continued listening.
"There will be a large auction in Xue'an City in three days. I plan to go and take a look. Do you want to join me?"
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Qi, we can't get into an auction of that size. The threshold is too high."
"Even if you can't go inside, it's nice to walk around the city. After all, the city doesn't restrict people from entering, and you can set up stalls wherever you want. Maybe you can find some good stuff."
"I don't want to go anyway. There are not that many bargains to be found. If you go shopping at a stall, you will lose money nine times out of ten!"
"Just try your luck, maybe you can meet someone who suits your taste."
"Haha, past experience tells me that the more you think like this, the more likely you are to buy junk. In the end, it's just a waste of spiritual stones!"
......
Su Qingwu learned about the auction and intended to go to Xue'an City.
She has now reached the late stage of Golden Core and has no shortage of magic weapons, but there is a certain probability that high-year spiritual plants will appear in the auction.
In addition, if she encounters something suitable for a Lei Linggen monk, she will try to bid for it and then use it as a reward for asking the other party to make a move.
According to the map, Xuean City is about a hundred miles away from here.
The auction hasn't started yet, so there's no need to go now.
Su Qingwu continued to stay in the teahouse for a long time and heard some new news.
Some of it was gossip about the monks of Danchen Palace, which she was not interested in and did not pay much attention to.
Another part is related to the upcoming Jindan Ceremony of this sect.
In the Yuehua Realm, most forces would hold such a ceremony when they had new Jindan cultivators, but there were exceptions, such as the Qianzhi Sect.
As far as Su Qingwu knew, the sect had never held a similar ceremony.
The reason for this is related to the fact that the sect is based on spiritual plants.
There are numerous spiritual fields in each peak of the sect, including some areas outside the sect, all of which are planted with spiritual plants on a large scale, making it inconvenient to invite cultivators from outside to join the sect.
First, it is not conducive to management.
Secondly, if something really happened, a big battle would cause incalculable loss of spiritual plants...
The teahouses in the market town would no longer be open after 11 p.m.
Su Qingwu found another inn and stayed there for three days.
During this period, I would occasionally learn about the news about Danchen Palace and Ling Yueyao.
On the fourth day, she left the market and set off for Xuean City.
Because he was a Jindan cultivator, he did not need to queue when entering the city, which saved him a lot of time.
About half an incense stick of time after arriving at the city, the entrance to the auction will open.
In principle, one must present at least 50,000 Spiritual Stones to prove one's ability to participate in the auction before entering.
However, when it was Su Qingwu's turn, the monk in charge noticed that her aura was as deep as the ocean, and immediately made way for her without hesitation, while instructing the servants to arrange for her to stay in a separate private room.
The auction venue was very large and the entire process was no different from what I had seen before.
There were ninety-nine items in total for auction, which was presided over by a monk who had reached the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage.
Of course, this is on the surface.
Su Qingwu sensed that there were three Jindan cultivators hiding in the dark, paying close attention to every move of the cultivators at the auction.
If someone behaves abnormally, we will immediately stop them.
About two cups of tea later, the auction officially began.
Su Qingwu sat in the private room, listening to the presiding monk introducing the treasures, and then he heard the voices of offers coming one after another.
This process went on for a long time, repeating itself over and over again.
She did not bid until the 91st lot came up...
