Chapter 163 Transaction
The exchange meeting for immortal cultivators is held at the top floor, which is also a means arranged by Liu Wenshan to demonstrate his identity and status.
"Master Chen, long time no see."
As soon as Chen Luo entered the door, he saw Zhu Jie, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
After leaving Mushan City, Chen Luo has been in contact with the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Most of the pills he refines on weekdays are sold to the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and occasionally he will accept some alchemy tasks from the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Compared with the sect merits of Shenhu Xianmen, Chen Luo prefers the practical trading method of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
"Thirteenth level of Qi Refining?"
Chen Luo glanced at Zhu Jie and instantly saw her cultivation level. Her spiritual power was perfect and formed a cycle in her body, which meant that she was qualified to challenge the foundation.
"I finally caught up with you. Maybe I can even build a foundation before you."
Zhu Jie couldn't help but smile. She didn't see through Chen Luo's cultivation. With the help of the brain of the casual cultivator Wan Ming, he was no less capable than most cultivators in concealing his aura.
"What about you? Did you get the Concentrating Spirit Grass?"
Zhu Jie didn't know that Chen Luo and the old ghost corpse and others went to Guoshan County for the Ningshen Grass. She just thought that he was still working hard for the Ningshen Grass all these years, which was also the normal path for most cultivators.
Having enough qualifications does not mean that you have enough resources, even if you are a monk from a sect.
You must make enough contributions to the sect in order to get the corresponding resources. This period of time will take at least ten to twenty years. Generation after generation has come this way, and those who have advanced in the past will not break this rule for the sake of those who come after them, and damage their own interests.
"What are you doing now?"
Zhu Jie tried to detect it with her spiritual power, but she could not sense anything. Chen Luo standing in front of him was like a mist, and the spiritual power she released was absorbed by him as soon as it touched him. This scene made her feel terrified, and a ridiculous idea came to her mind.
"You won't"
Zhu Jie was so shocked that she almost couldn't help but scream out in surprise.
Build the foundation!!
He actually established his foundation.
"Do you have access to the Mind-Concentrating Grass?"
Chen Luo found a seat and sat down, then asked casually.
"I am a little surprised that you were able to advance to the Qi Refining Perfection stage so quickly. Has Brother Shi Dao returned to Mushan City in recent years?"
"No, the old corpse ghost hasn't come back for many years, and there have been problems with the mass grave outside the city. Many low-level corpse puppets have emerged, and I have wasted a lot of energy to deal with these troubles. I have some connections with the Concentrating Spirit Grass. I have established a connection with the Nine Poison Valley, and I can smuggle out a portion of the 'loss' every ten years, but the price is a bit high."
Zhu Jie looked confused.
After knowing that Chen Luo had established his foundation, she still hadn't recovered from the shock. She couldn't understand how he had gathered all the materials needed for the foundation-building pill.
While the two were talking, several more people came in.
Two men and one woman.
They were all cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining. After the three of them came in, they each found a place to sit down, with a distance between them to avoid being attacked by others. This was also the habit of all casual cultivators, not trusting anyone.
Liu Wenshan, who hosted the exchange meeting, ordered people to serve wine and food to the three people.
After that, five more people came one after another. The cultivation of the last five people was much lower, all of them were in the early to middle stages of Qi Refining. After they came in and saw Liu Wenshan, they all greeted him respectfully. These five people were the immortal cultivators near Shanyin Pass.
The auction for ordinary warriors has already begun, and the atmosphere is very hot.
"We've wasted so much time, isn't it time to start the exchange meeting?" One of the three late Qi Refining cultivators said impatiently.
"I'm very busy."
Another cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage also spoke.
"Let's get started quickly. I've only refined half of the poison at home. It would be a waste if I overcook it."
The two of them are the strongest among this group of independent cultivators. The remaining one is a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage, who has just entered the seventh level of Qi Refining. His confidence is obviously much weaker than these two old demons.
"Now that Madam Xuegu and the Lord of Black Wind Cave have spoken, let's get started."
Liu Wenshan glanced at Zhu Jie and Chen Luo, and seeing that neither of them seemed to want to speak, he took the initiative to speak.
He took out a blood-colored jade pendant from his arms and placed it on the table.
"This is a first-level magical weapon, the Blood Dragon Pendant, which has an autonomous protection function. As long as the attack strength does not exceed the late stage of Qi Refining, there is no way to break it."
As soon as the Blood Dragon Pendant was taken out, all the wandering cultivators focused their attention on it.
Especially those cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining, their eyes turned red and they couldn't wait to rush over to snatch the Blood Dragon Pendant.
First-level magic weapon?
Chen Luo frowned.
Can you sell this kind of junk? It's of the same level as his broken magic sword.
The level of this exchange meeting is too low.
"The price is eight hundred spirit stones."
Liu Wenshan expressed his psychological expectations. When the price was announced, several people took a deep breath and gave up bidding directly.
Eight hundred spirit stones was no small sum for a casual cultivator. Especially for the casual cultivators at the early stage of Qi Refining, they could not even save ten spirit stones in a year. Eight hundred spirit stones was an astronomical figure for them.
"I want it."
The female cultivator who had spoken earlier, Madam Xuegu, took out her storage bag and generously took out eight hundred spirit stones and threw them over. After receiving the Blood Dragon Pendant, Madam Xuegu also took out some things.
"I have some good stuff here, you guys can make an offer."
A bunch of low-level talismans and small spells appeared on the table. Because of their low prices, they attracted a lot of monks to scramble for them, and the scene was extremely lively.
Afterwards, the Black Wind Cave Master and another cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage also took out things for exchange. Some were exchanged for spiritual objects, some for magic weapons and talismans, and there were also some cultivation notes that were dug out from some ancient tomb, all of which were sold for a considerable price.
This also allowed Chen Luo to gain insight into the circle of independent cultivators.
The things they practiced were very diverse, with no systematic planning. They basically practiced whatever they liked, which was very different from cultivators like him who came from a sect.
"Two portions of Shanyin grass, and another for the enlightenment of Qi Refining Perfection Breakthrough."
Zhu Jie yawned.
She had no interest in this low-level exchange meeting. If Chen Luo hadn't appeared here, she would never have come here.
The breakthrough realization of perfect Qi training?
As soon as these words came out, the three late Qi Refining cultivators all looked over, and Zhu Jie, who was sitting in her seat, snorted coldly. The aura of the thirteenth level of Qi Refining was immediately released, shaking off all the prying eyes of everyone.
After noticing Zhu Jie's cultivation level, everyone put away their thoughts and dared not use any tricks anymore.
"One thousand two hundred spirit stones."
Madam Blood and Bone was the first to bid.
"One thousand five hundred spirit stones!"
The owner of the Black Wind Cave next to them also called out a price. Both of them were at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and the most important thing at the moment was to break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining. For them, the experience of breaking through to the perfection of Qi Refining was extremely precious. On the contrary, the spiritual herbs that Zhu Jie had called out at the beginning were not in demand.
"One thousand six hundred spirit stones, I'll definitely take this thing!" Madam Xuegu's voice turned cold.
The things sold at the exchange meeting were all made of disposable spiritual tablets. Especially things like enlightenment, which disappeared after enlightenment, and there was no way to describe them. Otherwise, the two of them would not have fought to the death here, and they could have joined forces to buy it and share it.
"One thousand eight hundred spirit stones, plus a top-grade cauldron that can enhance spiritual energy!" The Lord of the Black Wind Cave waved his hand and took out all the spirit stones, and a pale-faced woman appeared next to him.
This woman should be the Dinglu mentioned by the master of the Black Wind Cave.
The group of casual cultivators were not surprised. At their casual cultivators' exchange meetings, cauldrons and furnaces could be measured with spirit stones. The real world of immortal cultivation was much more cruel than what was recorded in the storybooks. Even Zhu Jie's expression did not change, as if she had tacitly accepted this way of bidding.
The woman who was sold as a cauldron was trembling, and when her eyes swept over Chen Luo, she suddenly showed an expression of surprise.
“Senior Brother Chen!!”
When the voice came out, Chen Luo and Zhu Jie were both stunned. Zhu Jie didn't expect that Ding Lu actually knew Chen Luo, while Chen Luo simply didn't remember who this person was.
"It's me! Ning Ling."
Seeing that Chen Luo didn't respond, the woman immediately added.
The Black Wind Cave Master's eyes turned cold, and the black spiritual power in his hand turned. The woman who was originally begging for help suddenly covered her chest, curled up on the ground with a pale face, and could no longer speak.
Ning Ling?
Chen Luo recalled for a long time and finally remembered this person.
When he and Dude and others were on their way to Shenhu Xianmen as villagers of Heishan Village, Dude and his friends held a hometown gathering and met three friends, one of whom was a woman named Ning Ling. This woman's spiritual root aptitude was also inferior, and she also told Chen Luo about the possibility of Qi refining cultivators of various aptitudes breaking through to the foundation-building stage.
At that time, I just thought that this woman had an extraordinary background, but now it seems that her extraordinary background is very limited.
Most of her previous judgments were based on her own cognition. In Chen Luo's view, they were not credible at all. Because cultivating immortals is not only about qualifications, but also about resources and luck.
Any of wealth, Dharma, friends and land can affect the foundation building.
"Your friend?"
Zhu Jie asked.
Hearing this, the Black Wind Cave Master's face changed, and he subconsciously moved closer to the door. Zhu Jie was a cultivator who had completed Qi Refining. He had just seen it. If Zhu Jie chose to save people, he could not stop her.
"It was just a chance encounter."
Chen Luo nodded and replied.
"Okay then, I want this woman."
Zhu Jie waved her sleeves upon hearing this, and the "Spiritual Tablet for Perfect Qi Training" in her hand flew over and landed in the hands of the Black Wind Cave Master. This exchange meeting was organized by Liu Wenshan, who was from their Loose Cultivator Alliance, and she would not ruin her own people's place.
"Thank you very much."
The master of the Black Wind Cave showed surprise on his face, and immediately presented the spirit stone and token in his hand. Then he grabbed the spirit tablet and slapped it between his brows, refining it on the spot. This scene made Madam Xue Gu grit her teeth. But due to Zhu Jie's cultivation, she could only suppress this dissatisfaction in her heart.
After asking the woman to come over, Zhu Jie threw her control token to Chen Luo without even looking at her.
The cauldrons and furnaces are all planted with poisonous insects.
This is also the most commonly used method for independent cultivators to trade cauldrons and furnaces.
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
Ning Ling was surprised after being rescued. She had been desperate, but she didn't expect to be rescued here. When she looked at Chen Luo again, she couldn't help but feel inferior.
"This is a genius with three middle-grade spiritual roots. If I had this kind of talent, how could I have ended up like this?"
Chen Luo ignored her and took out two pieces of rags from his storage bag.
A gourd of low-grade Qi-nourishing pills and a round disc magic weapon searched out from Elder An's storage bag. Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual power, it should be a first-class high-grade magic weapon, corresponding to the perfect state of Qi Refining.
"I want to buy a map of the outside of the pass, and information about the evil spirit breeding ground. If you can provide more information about the outside of the pass, I can also buy it at the market price."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was focused.
Especially Madam Blood and Bone and the Master of the Black Wind Cave.
Both of them had been outside the Great Wall and knew a lot of news about it. The two of them were able to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining because of some adventures they had outside the Great Wall.
"I wonder what you can come up with? News from outside the pass is not cheap."
Madam Xuegu looked at Chen Luo, trying to see his cultivation level. Unfortunately, no matter how she tried, the spiritual energy disappeared after it fell on Chen Luo. The same was true for the Black Wind Cave Master next to him. This scene made the two of them instantly understand the strength of the person in front of them.
There is one more chapter to be revised.
