These monks also concealed their faces, but under the coverage of his divine sense, they could all be seen clearly.
Soon, the eight ninth-level foundation-building cultivators arrived, and Gong Zhongze, who claimed to be the servant of True Man Huo Qian, stood at the door.
There were two female monks among the eight ninth-level foundation-building monks. They exuded pleasant fragrances and looked very young, but there were fine wrinkles at the corners of their eyes. It was obvious that they were like old cucumbers painted green to pretend to be young.
In addition, there was a cultivator who dressed maturely but actually looked very young, which caught Shen Lian's attention.
He also realized that this person was also using his spiritual power to aim around like him, but Master Huo Qian had not noticed it yet.
After careful sensing, he found that the strength of this cultivator's spiritual power also exceeded a thousand feet, and he also had a method that could compress his spiritual power into a thin needle, thereby strengthening his spiritual power.
This person has a method of practicing spiritual thoughts, and the quality of the method should be quite high.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."
Master Huo Qian did not hesitate either.
"I am very happy to have invited eight fellow Taoists to this private exchange meeting. We will not say much. You can take out the spiritual objects you have prepared and place them on the table in front of you."
After Master Huo Qian finished speaking, he did not delay. With a wave of his hand, a piece of bright and shining object appeared on the stone table in front of him.
"Second-level mid-grade Fire Wolf Armor, second-level top-grade Fire Cloud Mirror, second-level top-grade Blue Fire Wolf Cloak..."
As soon as Master Huo Qian made a move, he took out seven or eight magical weapons, all of which were fire-attributed, covering a complete range of functions from attack to defense to flying.
"This Fire Wolf Armor is made from the complete skin of a second-level Great Perfection Golden Fire Wolf. Unfortunately, I failed to stop the fire when I was retrieving it, causing its grade to drop. However, the foundation is still there, and its quality is stronger than the ordinary second-level mid-grade ones."
"Second-level upper-grade fire cloud..."
Taoist Huo Qian introduced his magic weapon calmly, and most of the cultivators present showed interest.
After Shen Lian glanced at everyone, he also showed the expression he wanted.
He also saw that the fellow Taoist who was playing with the needle just now was also pretending.
Then let’s install it together.
After Master Huo Qian finished his introduction, he was not in a hurry to let people trade, but his eyes fell on the middle-aged cultivator closest to him.
The middle-aged monk nodded, and his hand flashed with flames.
"I brought two monster eggs, one from the third-level monster Volcano Turtle, and one from the third-level Red Feathered Goshawk."
Two red monster eggs with patterns on them, one large and one small, were placed on the stone table. In addition, a pile of ores were also taken out.
"The Red Feather Qing Goshawk is pretty good."
A cultivator spoke up and said that in the mining area, many cultivators have spirit pets, and even those who don’t have one will raise one after staying here for a long time.
Everyone's eyes were on Cang Qingying, and no one paid any attention to the Volcano Turtle.
The growth of spiritual pets is slow, so why not raise a turtle to guard the grave for future generations?
Shen Lian also took a closer look at the two eggs, but he already had the Black Phoenix, and even if the Black Phoenix's bloodline had not been improved by him, it was still stronger than the two in front of him.
Afterwards, the cultivators began to take out spiritual objects in turns. They were all cultivators at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, so the spiritual objects they took out were naturally not ordinary things. The lowest one was a mid-grade second-grade ore.
Otherwise, why are there so few high-quality spiritual objects of the second-grade or above in the outside chambers of commerce? They are all consumed by the circle of cultivators.
The spiritual object that appeared on the stone table also stirred up the emotional fluctuations of the monks present.
Even Shen Lian himself had his eyes on several pieces of second-grade top-quality ores.
When it was his turn, he took out the Moon Spirit Essence from the storage device and gave a brief introduction.
It was said that he bought it from the auction at the Holy Spirit Palace. He had originally planned to find an alchemy master to refine the Yuehua Hanyuan Pill, but later by chance he bought the Hanyuan Pill and no longer had any use for the Yueling Essence.
In addition, he also took out a few pieces of ore to make himself seem less out of place.
If you want to cheat someone, you have to do it clearly. He is a male cultivator with a sense of responsibility.
When it was the turn of the monk playing with needles, he took out a bead from his arms.
…
"The pulse-stabilizing bead can help stabilize the spiritual vein."
At this time, Shen Lian glanced at Master Huo Qian, and realized that this cultivator who was playing with needles was looking at the person for favor, and was targeting Master Huo Qian.
"During the last beast tide, I was chased by a second-order great perfection mountain-piercing dragon python. In a panic, I ran into a misty valley and dug this up inside."
The last monk took out a long jade box. After the jade box was opened, rich spiritual energy immediately filled the room, and twinkling starlight was also present in the spiritual energy.
"Star Tree!"
The monk exclaimed, but after seeing the appearance clearly, disappointment appeared in his eyes.
The star fruit of this tree is the main ingredient for refining the small "Jie Jin Dan" star meteorite secret pill, but the star tree in front of him is only one foot tall, and the roots and branches are broken.
There are two star fruits hanging on the tree, which look like shriveled balls.
The yellow-robed monk looked indifferent to the gazes cast upon him.
If he encounters a third-level spiritual tree, would he not cut it back and let it grow? In the future, he might not even have a spiritual stone left.
As for the damage caused to the spiritual tree by destroying its roots, it is none of his business.
After selling this star tree and collecting enough spirit stones, I can go to other places to buy the Meteorite Secret Pill.
No one among the cultivators said anything about this method of draining the pond to catch fish, as they would have done the same if they were in the same situation.
No matter how good something is, it is only yours when it is in your hands.
"Tsk tsk...what a pity."
The monk playing with needles shook his head slightly.
In addition to bearing star fruits, the star tree also has the function of stabilizing the spiritual veins and accelerating the improvement of the spiritual veins. If it is cultivated well, it can become a guardian of the clan.
But no one present has a third-level spiritual vein to provide a place for the Star Tree to grow. Besides, in this state, it is also a question whether it can be saved.
Shen Lian looked at the star tree twice more. He actually wanted it.
Although it's a bit wilted, it might be useful in the future if I put it away.
He had no reason to criticize the yellow-robed monk's behavior. It couldn't be like a crow standing on a black pig, only seeing that others were black and forgetting that it was also black.
To the world, we are all thieves. If we are all thieves, is there any need to be particular about methods? "Ahem...Okay, now that everyone has shown their skills, we can exchange them. Of course, if you allow it, you can also use spirit stones to buy them."
True Man Huo Qian drew everyone's attention back to himself.
The transaction process was communicated through divine thoughts, and the monks present were seen, some shaking their heads, some frowning, and some smiling.
Everyone came here for the magical instruments refined by Master Huo Qian, and many people were fighting for the eagle egg.
"Daoyou, I want this drop of fragrant essence."
In Shen Lian's sea of consciousness, the sound of acupuncture foundation building was heard.
Then he saw Zhen Xiu Zhuji take the jade box into his hand and sniff it hard with his nose.
“That’s the taste.”
Shen Lian frowned, "Hmmmm...?"
Even though he is a pervert, he still thinks this person is a pervert.
Shen Lian transmitted the message and he found out that this acupuncture practitioner should know the effect of the pollen.
"Hey, my name is Xue Zishou, may I know your name?"
"Lu Shan."
"Fellow Daoist, are you an alchemist? It seems that you have been cheated by the women in the Holy Spirit Palace." Xue Zishou blinked at Shen Lian.
"These women's methods are useful to others, but for me, they are actually very beneficial. It's just that there is too little of this stuff. It takes those women decades to produce just this much."
Xue Zishou was somewhat dissatisfied. As he spoke, a green gourd appeared in his hand. He pulled out the stopper of the gourd and poured the Moon Spirit Essence Dew into it.
And, after putting the stopper on, he shook it vigorously with his spiritual power.
"Hmm... that's right. Yueling Baixian Brew finally has a bit more feminine flavor. It tastes better when you drink it."
Xue Zishou's sudden action attracted the attention of all the cultivators present. Was the Moon Essence worth sixty to seventy thousand spirit stones just poured into the wine gourd like that?
Even Shen Lian was stunned. He bought this with 170,000 spirit stones, but before he could even discuss the price, this guy poured it into the wine gourd.
"Hey... Don't blame me, I can't help myself when I see good things."
Xue Zishou unplugged the gourd again and took a gulp of the spiritual wine. The fragrant aroma of the spiritual wine wafting out attracted the noses of other cultivators in the hall.
"Daoyou, you..."
"No, no, this wine is not for sale."
Seeing that everyone was staring at his wine, Xue Zishou suddenly hugged the gourd in his arms, with a look as if he was guarding against thieves.
"Friend Lu, I'd like to use this to offset your Moon Essence. Do you think it's okay?"
Xue Zishou felt around in his arms and threw a scarlet bead to Shen Lian.
"Fire Spirit Pearl."
After Shen Lian took the beads, he squinted his eyes and looked at Xue Zishou again. This man looked unruly, but he was still quite capable.
The Fire Spirit Pearl is one of the Five Elements Spirit Pearls. The vast majority of the spirit veins in the Great Wilderness are attributeless, and any cultivator with spiritual roots can draw on them for cultivation.
But some have attributes, such as the spiritual veins near the Red Crystal Mine City, which are biased towards the fire element.
This is a pure element bead born in the spirit vein, which can be regarded as a spirit stone that is a hundred times purer. For fire cultivators, it can be used to assist in cultivation and as a spirit stone. Its effect is no less than that of elixirs of the same level that enhance strength.
This Fire Spirit Pearl was of a very high grade, between the upper second grade and the third grade, and was enough to exchange for Moon Essence Dew.
Of course, it was exchanged at the normal price. In short, Shen Lian lost money on this Moon Essence.
"Fellow Daoist Xue, aren't you afraid of the Moon Essence..."
Shen Lian sent a message to Xue Zishou again, speaking each word very slowly.
"I'm just a fan of theirs. I'm interested in the women in the Holy Spirit Palace. If these women dare to come close to me, I'll just whip them all."
Xue Zishou spoke nonchalantly.
Xue Zishou's response was similar to what Shen Lian thought. It was not entirely true to say that the Holy Spirit Palace was harming people. If this group of people really wanted to do that, they would have been condemned by everyone long ago.
By selling various spiritual objects, they seduce foreign monks to have a good impression of the female monks of the Holy Spirit Palace. This taboo can be a big or small thing for different monks. It is possible that some monks would like to have two female monks from the Holy Spirit Palace.
His spiritual sense swept over Xue Zishou's body several times in a row and he found that this person's realm was indeed the same as his, both at the ninth level of foundation building, not much different.
"Friend Lu, shall we have a drink together after the show is over?"
At this time, Xue Zishou suddenly looked up and spoke to Shen Lian.
"Forget it, Lu is not good at drinking."
Xue Zishou didn't care and just drank from his wine gourd.
"Fellow Daoist, can you spare 100,000 spirit stones from the Star Tree?"
Shen Lian set his sights on the thief cultivator of heaven and earth. The star tree had been chopped off from head to tail, and it was wilted. He didn't know if it could be saved.
"Two hundred thousand spirit stones." The thief cultivator said coldly.
"Ninety thousand."
Shen Lian didn't give in and directly quoted a lower price.
If a complete star tree is worth a million, there will be people who want it. If you take it home and plant it on a third-level spiritual vein, it is like having an endless money tree.
But now this thing is full of death. If I buy it back, I might have to find a high-level spiritual plant doctor to mix some herbs to treat it.
Critical treatment may not necessarily save the patient.
After making the offer, Shen Lian looked at what the other fellow Taoists had displayed. Everyone had made a great harvest in the beast tide. There were several second-grade, top-quality demon pills alone, and none of the lower-grade ones were displayed.
Looking back many years ago, when I was in Wanxinghai and wanted to buy some spiritual ink, I was so tired that I felt like a grandson.
By now, he no longer lacks the blood of monsters.
Seeing that Shen Lian didn't reply, the thief cultivator felt a little embarrassed when he saw that no one was paying attention to him.
It’s not that I regret pulling up the tree, but it’s a pity that I made less money.
An hour later, everyone had finished their transaction.
"Everyone, please stay."
When everyone wanted to leave, Master Huo Qian spoke with a smile.
"I wonder what else the Master wants to do?"
Everyone sat back on the stone chairs and looked at Master Huo Qian.
"It's like this, I want to ask all of you Taoist friends to lend a hand."
Taoist Huo Qian raised his hand and bowed.
Everyone looked at each other, some of them seemed not to understand. Was there something wrong with the fake Dan Zhenren asking the foundation-building cultivator for help?
Seeing that the atmosphere had grown cold, Master Huo Qian sat down again.
"My fellow Taoists, this is it."
The matter that Master Huo Qian asked for help was not difficult.
The cause was that during this beast tide, when Master Huo Qian was resisting the monsters, he discovered a vein of Heavenly Fire Gold and Stone under a rift deep in the northeast of the Red Crystal Mine City.
This ore has the attributes of fire, earth and gold, is of considerable value, and the mine is not small in scale.
After checking, Master Huo Qian discovered that there was a group of golden-scaled black-horned lizards and a third-level lizard king living in the rift.
Mining a mineral vein is very difficult and cannot be completed in a short period of time. With the strength of Master Huo Qian, he naturally cannot do this.
"Master, do you want us to wipe out the golden-scaled black-horned lizard together?"
Everyone also understood that this exchange had such a purpose.
As for why Master Huo Qian called them, the reason was obvious, because they were all at the ninth level of foundation building.
