Soon, the two of them looked at many more stalls.
At the same time, some cultivators would go to the stall owners to bargain and negotiate a suitable price, and then take out spirit stones or corresponding items to exchange for it.
The independent cultivators each brought out some spiritual herbs and magical artifacts to set up stalls, but there were very few truly precious items.
Of course, the so-called precious items refer to those that are valuable to cultivators. If the items belonging to rogue cultivators were given to martial artists, they would be considered treasures.
As he walked and looked around, Lin Xiaofei noticed a vendor selling a Green Vine spell. Intrigued, he walked over.
Lin Xiaofei doesn't practice many spells, so it would be good if he could exchange them for a decent one.
However, the magic the stall owner offered was in exchange for 600 catties of a low-grade spiritual wine called Monkey Wine, which could refine the spiritual energy within the body, or for a kind of spiritual water called Rootless Sunflower Water.
Lin Xiaofei inquired about the stall owner's requirements, but unfortunately, he was unable to meet them.
Meanwhile, as he watched along the way, he did see three people selling spells at their stalls, but he didn't see anyone selling Qi cultivation techniques.
"No one at the stalls is selling Qi Refining techniques. It seems I can only follow Senior Wang to meet those so-called fellow Daoists and see if I can get the Qi Refining techniques from them."
Lin Xiaofei silently pondered, then followed Wang Qingliang along the bluestone path for most of the way until they arrived at a bamboo house and went up to the second floor.
On the second floor, which resembled a private bamboo room, top-tier experts and some cultivators sat together, drinking tea and exchanging ideas.
At the same time, Lin Xiaofei also sensed that the concentration of spiritual energy inside the bamboo house was twice as high as outside, indicating that the people who could come to the bamboo house were all quite wealthy.
Soon, Lin Xiaofei followed Wang Qingliang to the door of a private bamboo room on the third floor.
At this moment, inside the spacious bamboo house, there were seven or eight people sitting around a long bamboo table, with a cup of tea in front of each of them.
Lin Xiaofei glanced at them and realized he didn't recognize any of them. He could tell from their words, actions, and the spiritual energy they exuded.
He discovered that these people all possessed higher levels of immortal cultivation than him, clearly indicating that he was the one with the lowest level of immortal cultivation among them.
Wang Qingliang walked ahead of Lin Xiaofei, and as soon as he stepped inside, he said with a smile:
Fellow Daoists, you've arrived very early!
"We just arrived and have only just sat down."
Immediately, someone greeted him.
"Old Wang, who is this person next to you?"
An elderly man named Zhu Dali, sitting in a bamboo chair, glanced at Lin Xiaofei and asked Wang Qingliang with a smile.
Wang Qingliang said:
This is a young fellow Daoist I met in Qingshan Town. His name is Lin Xiaofei. Now that he's come to Xiagu County, I thought I'd bring him along to introduce him to everyone.
"Greetings to all the seniors."
Lin Xiaofei glanced at everyone, nodded slightly, and said with a smile.
"Old Wang, don't stand, sit down. And this young fellow Daoist Lin, please sit down too."
Zhu Dali smiled slightly and said.
Nodding, Wang Qingliang found a bamboo chair and sat down, while Lin Xiaofei sat to the side, silently observing everyone and listening to their conversation, knowing that they were still waiting for the arrival of their two fellow Daoists.
A woman who looked to be only in her thirties, dressed in a long blue robe, and with a beautiful face, smiled immediately when Lin Xiaofei glanced at her and said:
"Young Fellow Daoist Lin, you know Fellow Daoist Wang. Could it be that you are also an alchemist?"
Lin Xiaofei smiled and said,
I am not an alchemist yet, but I can refine one type of elixir and some other medicinal pills.
"I guessed right. You really are an alchemist."
As she spoke, the woman in the blue robe turned to a middle-aged man beside her and said,
Old Xu, haven't you always enjoyed befriending alchemists? Don't you know this young fellow Daoist Lin and want to get acquainted with him?
"I did enjoy making friends with alchemists before because I wanted to become one myself, but three years have passed and I still haven't become one."
Therefore, I've lost interest in alchemists.
However, in the last two months, I came into contact with a talisman maker and learned some things from him, which actually made me a first-level talisman maker.
These days, I prefer to associate with talisman makers.
The slightly overweight middle-aged man smiled and said.
Lin Xiaofei picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and listened to the conversations among the other Daoists. At the same time, he would occasionally ask Wang Qingliang beside him in a low voice to get to know the other Daoists.
The woman in the green robe was named Su Hongyan. She owned a ten-acre spirit fruit manor in Hongpodi, ten miles outside the county town of Xiagu, and was considered to be quite wealthy.
The old Xu, whose real name is Xu Xingwang, recently became a first-tier talisman maker.
Among the other fellow cultivators, one middle-aged man named Zhou Wucheng had a cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Another man, who looked to be thirty-eight years old and was known as the Red Boy, always had a cold demeanor. Wang Qingliang told him that this man was dangerous.
As for the remaining two fellow Daoists, they sat on bamboo chairs, sipping tea without saying a word, and Wang Qingliang didn't recognize them either.
From their conversation, Lin Xiaofei learned that everyone was waiting for Zhang Wude and Elder Jianghe to arrive.
Zhang Wude is a talisman maker with exceptional skills, especially in making spirit fire talismans. A single spirit fire talisman can unleash the full power of a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator. According to Wang Qingliang, everyone likes to buy each other's spirit fire talismans.
The old man Jianghe was the owner of the Red Tea Manor and a rogue cultivator with the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining, which was higher than that of anyone else present.
Lin Xiaofei listened silently to everyone's chatter when he suddenly saw two figures flash past outside the bamboo house.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fellow Daoist Zhang have arrived."
"Jiang Daoyou, Zhang Daoyou."
Immediately afterwards, the people inside the bamboo house stood up and greeted Zhang Wude and Jiang He.
One was a middle-aged man dressed in the robes of a talisman maker, with a smile on his face and a small cloth bag hanging from his waist. The other was an old man with a ruddy complexion, long black and white hair, and an extraordinary temperament, who did not look like an old man at all.
Lin Xiaofei also stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and smiled.
After everyone finished greeting each other, Zhang Wude glanced at Lin Xiaofei next to Wang Qingliang and said:
"Young man, you were brought by Old Wang, right?"
"Yes," Lin Xiaofei replied.
“A few days ago, I bought some Qi Condensation Pills from Lao Wang. Lao Wang told me that he wanted to bring a young fellow Daoist here to broaden his horizons.”
Old Wang also said that this young Daoist Lin wants to buy a Qi cultivation method within the ninth level of Qi Refining, right?
The old man Jianghe glanced at Lin Xiaofei, who was bowing to him, and said softly.
