Chapter 98 Alternative Trade Fair (220,000 words updated, please subscribe!)



You've been in there for a long time! Zhou Qing was puzzled. What was he doing? The people from the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce sent three invitations early in the morning, inviting Zhou Qing and the other two to attend the Wanxing Trade Fair.

Zhou Qing heard Yuan Fang talk about this event last time, but he didn't have the chance to attend it.

This was also the excitement that Lu Qingmo and Zhou Qing talked about before coming to the county town.

This is a grand event held by the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce from time to time. Every item that appears at the trade fair is of extremely high value.

Treasures at the Bone Refining Realm and even the Marrow Cleansing Realm levels may appear.

Not only will the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce display many treasures, but participants at the trade fair will also be able to exchange what they have with each other.

According to Yuan Fang, the last Wanxing Trade Fair was held more than a year ago.

During a Wanxing Trade Fair, even people from other counties would come early.

Similarly, if the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce in other county towns holds a trade fair, people from Tianyue County will also flock there.

"Are you interested?" Lu Qingmo asked Zhou Qing and the others.

Along with the invitation came a list of items for the trade fair, which included only the items offered by the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce.

Bai Ruoyue glanced at the list and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, there is actually a divine heart fruit!"

"This is one of the best Zhuangxin treasures. It's very precious. I've only heard about it from my father."

"Master sister, do you need it?"

"Yes." Bai Ruoyue nodded, "I have already finished tempering my six internal organs, and am now in the stage of tempering my five internal organs. A Divine Heart Fruit can save me a lot of time in tempering my heart."

In the realm of internal organs, when the six internal organs are flawless it is a minor achievement, and when the five internal organs are perfect it is a major achievement. Step by step, organ by organ, we progress gradually.

At the age of eighteen, Bai Ruoyue was already close to the development of her internal organs, and even had the strength to fight against those at the Bone Refining Realm.

Of course, Gao Dingtian is still in the Bone Refining Stage at that age, so his talent must not be high. In addition, his Qi and blood are declining, so his strength is not as good as that of a normal Bone Refining warrior.

Without reaching a certain realm and without special opportunities, the decline of physical energy and blood in old age is a dilemma that every warrior and cultivator will face.

When a monk's body ages, it becomes difficult for him to support his own powerful soul.

"The Divine Heart Fruit is indeed rare." Lu Qingmo nodded. "Although it is only useful for the internal organs, it is extremely difficult to find. The conditions for its birth are very harsh. Even if it appears in Yujing, it will be snatched up."

This thing also belongs to the category of spiritual plants, but it is rarer than ordinary spiritual plants. It depends a lot on luck to get it.

Normal spiritual plants usually have the effect of enhancing qi and blood and strengthening the body.

After a warrior has refined the spirit, it will also take some time to transfer the benefits of the spirit plant to various parts of the body.

Physical energy and blood are the foundation of martial arts. It is good to be able to strengthen them, but it is not a targeted strengthening after all.

It’s different for spiritual plants like the Divine Heart Fruit that are specifically beneficial to the heart.

The spiritual plants that Zhou Qing obtained from the fairy tree are used to strengthen the foundation of the physical body. They strengthen certain parts of the body and develop them in a balanced manner.

"Junior brother, this dragon vein grass is an excellent spiritual plant for tempering tendons and veins. Legend has it that if you take a large amount of dragon vein grass, you can refine your tendons and veins into dragon tendons and veins."

"Dragon Vein Grass is indeed very suitable for you." Lu Qingmo also expressed his affirmation.

“How much is this large amount?”

"I don't know either, but it should be at least several hundred plants."

“…”

Although he didn't lack a dragon vein grass, since he saw it, he might as well buy it.

Anyway, it’s the money spent by Tianmu Sect.

"There is also this bone-shaking pill, which can shake the bones and expel impurities from the bones, making bone refining twice as effective with half the effort."

"You can't take this kind of medicine." Lu Qingmo interrupted, "The effect of the bone-shaking pill is too overbearing. Although it can assist in bone refining, it will also cause damage to the bones, causing them to be weaker than those of the same level."

"Ah, so this kind of medicine can also be sold?"

"For those who are not talented enough, if they can make further progress through this, it is acceptable for their bones to be weaker than those of the same level."

"Then let's join in." Zhou Qing looked at the list. Since the senior sister wanted it, of course he would satisfy her.

"But can we afford the things at this trade fair?"

"Don't worry." Lu Qingmo gave Zhou Qing a reassurance.

"While bartering, the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce accepts gold and silver transactions at any time."

The trade fair was held in the morning, but not at the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce. Instead, it was held at another location, which was also a property of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce, called Yibao Pavilion.

After entering Yibao Pavilion, someone asked Zhou Qing and the others whether they needed to conceal their identities. After getting the answer that they did not need to, he led the three of them to their location.

Zhou Qing looked around and found that some of the people who came in were open and aboveboard, while others concealed their faces.

To Zhou Qing's surprise, all the rooms here were private rooms. He thought there would be a hall.

There was a round stage in the middle. Manager Lin was already standing on the stage, smiling at everyone.

It feels a bit like an auction.

But why isn't it hosted by a hot beauty? The first item to be traded is the Bone Shock Pill that Bai Ruoyue mentioned.

Bone refining level treasures are already very precious in Tianyue County.

"Why is no one bidding?" Zhou Qing wondered.

There were service staff in the box, but Lu Qingmo asked them to leave.

"No need to shout, just write down your offer on that jade plate." Bai Ruoyue pointed to the jade plate hanging on the wall of the box.

"Your bid will be displayed on the jade disk above Manager Lin's head. All bids will be displayed there and ranked. The highest bidder wins."

"If your first offer is outbid by others but you don't want to give up, you can bid again."

"Master sister, you know so much?"

"Hehe." Bai Ruoyue said proudly, "I have participated in trade fairs with my father before."

Looking at Lu Qingmo again, he looked normal.

Well, it turns out I’m the only country boy.

Zhou Qing played with the jade token, feeling somewhat surprised.

Just write down your quotation by hand on it and the information will be fed back to the central jade disk.

This is undoubtedly similar to the technological means used in his previous life.

Taoism is truly magical. There is nothing that Taoism cannot do, as long as you can imagine it. It is even more powerful than the technology in Zhou Qing's previous life.

After all, Zhou Qing's previous life was still a technological world, not a science fiction world...

The lower-class creatures in this world live in extreme poverty. A severe drought can leave an entire county homeless and cause heavy casualties.

But people of high status have no idea how comfortable they are and they enjoy all the conveniences of Taoism.

"Also, Junior Brother, our voices in the box cannot be heard outside. The quotation jade token is the only way for us to show our existence." Bai Ruoyue continued:

"Only Director Lin's voice can be heard in each private room. You are allowed to quietly leave the fair before it ends, but you are not allowed to show up in public."

"Ah?" Zhou Qing was stunned.

This Wanxing Trade Fair is different from the auctions I know!

Zhou Qing’s understanding of the auction: the noobs sit in the hall, while the rich and powerful sit in the boxes.

During the bidding, voices rose and fell, faces turned red and necks became thick, and people glared at each other with murderous eyes at every turn.

When the argument reached its climax, some people directly stated their identities: My father is so-and-so, I am the saint son of such-and-such sect, please give me some face.

No face?

Don’t run after school!

As a result, Wanxing Chamber of Commerce used this method, without bidding and with soundproofing. How can I use my power to overpower them?

Zhou Qing had already declared in his heart that the Wanxing Trading Fair was of impure bloodline.

"Price jade tokens, soundproof boxes, Wanxing Chamber of Commerce is increasing its own costs."

Lu Qingmo spoke up, "It wasn't like this before."

"Many years ago, the Wanxing Trade Fair still relied on shouting prices, and people could show up at will during the transaction. This was changed later."

"Why did you change it?"

"Because of something that happened, a young man participated in the Wanxing Trade Fair, and was bullied and ridiculed by disciples from a large sect, which led to a series of grievances."

"In the end, that young man grew up, was listed on the Mountain and River Common People Ranking, and destroyed that great sect."

“…”

What a classic story.

But I always feel that this is what I, a time traveler, should do.

"Although that strong man did not pursue the matter, the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce changed the format of the trade fair afterwards."

"When we came in, we were asked whether we needed to hide our identities. This was related to this."

Zhou Qing was speechless. The Wanxing Chamber of Commerce had such a unique painting style.

"However, things change over time. The move by the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce has made people trust him more, and his business has become more prosperous."

While Zhou Qing and his friends were communicating, items were traded one by one.

There are magical weapons and martial arts, various spiritual plants, visualization diagrams and martial arts training methods.

There are even quota transactions, such as the quota to customize martial arts soldiers from Master Yuan.

When the dragon vein grass appeared, more and more people came to bid, and the number on the central jade disk kept jumping.

Zhou Qing also filled in a price, but was quickly surpassed by someone else.

"Spiritual plants are rare, and spiritual plants that are specifically designed to strengthen a certain part of the body are even rarer." Lu Qingmo said:

"But don't worry."

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

"I will take action."

"I still have some savings here, which should be enough." Zhou Qing shook his head.

The Tianmu Sect's stronghold has been developed for ten years. There may not be many treasures for cultivation, but there are abundant golden and silver items.

There is no need to explain how terrifying this evil cult's ability to make money is. Zhou Qing did not empty the base, but he definitely took away the most valuable things.

They are all dirty stuff and must be processed by Lu Duguan!

And Lu Duguan handed it over to him.

Bai Ruoyue looked at Zhou Qing calmly filling in the price and felt envious.

So cool.

The value of the Divine Heart Fruit is much higher than that of the Dragon Vein Grass. She definitely cannot afford it, so she can only ask Lu Qingmo to buy it for her.

But there is no doubt that Bai Ruoyue also wants to try the feeling of spending money lavishly.

Just as Lu Qingmo said, the dragon vein grass was not lost, but entered Zhou Qing's bag.

Humph, he is not the kind of person who needs Aunt Mo to pay.

Freeloader?

Sorry, I have a good stomach and I choose to say no.

"There are even wild beast eggs for sale."

"As long as there are beast taming techniques in the world, there will naturally be beast eggs and beast cubs for sale."

When it came time to trade the Divine Heart Fruit, Lu Qingmo took the jade token and filled in the price.

Then the bidding ended, and the Divine Heart Fruit directly belonged to Lu Qingmo.

The Wanxing Chamber of Commerce has the right of direct choice. If they take a fancy to a certain quotation and are satisfied with it, they can directly confirm the transaction.

Zhou Qing took a look at Lu Qingmo's offer, which was a Taoist technique.

"I got this Taoist technique by chance, it has some value."

"To trade with Taoist magic, you only need to make a copy, provided that your Taoist magic is not available in the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce."

Zhou Qing secretly complained, just give him a rubbing copy, then isn't that equivalent to picking up a divine heart fruit for free?

"The value of this Taoist technique is more than enough to exchange for a Divine Heart Fruit. Your Dragon Vein Grass can also be counted in. You won't have to pay later."

“…”

Zhou Qing suddenly felt that there was indeed something wrong with his stomach and he might only be able to eat something soft today.

Aunt Mo, it smells so good.

After these two actions, Zhou Qing and his companions were just spectators for the rest of the time.

Of course Lu Qingmo didn't need anything. He just wanted to bring the two of them to take a look.

At this trade fair, there are of course more spiritual plants useful for cultivation than just Dragon Vein Grass and Divine Heart Fruit, but their effects are mostly for the general public.

There is no shortage of this kind of spiritual plants in Montenegro. We can find them if we bring them back during the day. There is no need to spend a lot of money to buy them here.

Bai Ruoyue took action again and bought a few healing pills.

The last item at the trade fair was a martial arts secret book of the marrow cleansing level.

The overlord of Tianyue County is at the Xisui Realm. This level of martial arts is enough to be taken seriously by any force in the county.

The competition for this martial arts was fierce, and those who took part were all overlords from various factions in Tianyue County. Zhou Qing and the others were naturally just spectators.

After the transaction of items in Wanxing Chamber of Commerce is completed, it is free trading time.

Similar to the previous process, hand over the items you want to sell to the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce and let them display them.

"The quality of the goods prepared by Wanxing Chamber of Commerce is guaranteed and has been authenticated." Lu Qingmo said:

"But free trade requires caution, there is no guarantee of whether the goods are good or bad."

At Lu Qingmo's suggestion, items were placed on the stands one by one, all kinds of things.

"What are those?"

Something in a corner caught Zhou Qing's attention. It was a pile of stones. Compared with other treasures, it looked too ordinary.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Qing's body trembled slightly, attracting Bai Ruoyue's puzzled gaze.

"Little Junior Brother, why are you shaking?"

It's not me who's shaking, it's the things I put on my body that are shaking.

"Aunt Mo, I'm here!"

Zhou Qing said with surprise: "My intuition came back again!"

"here we go again?"

Lu Qingmo realized what Zhou Qing said, just in time!

"What is it?"

"The third one from the left to the right of the pile of rocks, the one that looks like a bowl."

"Intuition...ah, you mean that stone is a treasure?" Bai Ruoyue was also surprised.

"Those are hidden gems." Lu Qingmo explained: "This kind of stone is only born in some mysterious and ancient places, such as the Jiuyang Ruins I mentioned before. There are also places in Yujing that specialize in hiding gems."

"But the hidden gems are very strange. They can block the detection of souls and the illumination and perception of various magic tools. They are basically impossible to be detected by Taoist magic or martial arts. Only people who specialize in the study of hidden gems can guess what is inside based on clues."

May I ask Aunt Mo if the person you are talking about is called Master Yuan Tianshi?

"Then Aunt Mo, can't the masters on the Mountain and River Common People List be detected?" Bai Ruoyue asked curiously.

Immediately, she saw the two of them looking at her with strange eyes.

"Are you sure your instincts are responding to that stone?"

"I'm sure!"

When Yu Bao arrived, the stone kept buzzing and shaking, and he was almost numb from the shaking.

"Where are the other stones?"

"Nothing."

"Then buy it." Lu Qingmo immediately made an offer.

There were not only Zhou Qing and his three companions who were interested in the hidden gems, but others also made offers one after another.

Try your best, try your best, have fun at Hongyuanlou tonight! Everyone thinks that this wave of destiny is on their side when they buy lottery tickets.

In the end, the stone was bought by Zhou Qing and his friends. After that, the three of them waited for the trade fair to end. After taking their things, they left through the passage arranged by the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce.

Coincidentally, after Zhou Qing and his friends walked a distance away, they met two people who were obviously communicating with each other.

"Brother Qingquan, you are right to listen to me. There is definitely something inside the hidden gem we bought."

"That stone, with its clear lines, harmonious colors, and sharp edges, must be the King of Stone."

"Like the bowl stone next to it, it's just ordinary. When I took it back to eat, I thought it looked bad. I don't know what the person who bought it was thinking."

"Brother Kaishen, that's a great idea!"

When passing by the two people, Zhou Qing suddenly heard such a conversation.

Zhou Qing was startled and looked around. He found that the two people did not move their mouths and were still communicating, but he heard it.

The strange item, the Eight-Direction Ear Stone, has a chance to listen to other people's voice transmissions after using it! Recalling the conversation between the two, Zhou Qing looked strange. It seemed that these two people were also participants in the trade fair just now.

The analysis is quite good, and he actually has some theoretical knowledge, he even figured out the Stone King...

How could he not know? Wish them success.
