The exchange conference was held as scheduled.
The location is in a remote town on the outskirts of Beijing. I heard that the feng shui here is not good. During the development in the early years, strange things happened frequently and the development plan was shelved.
However, Longhu Mountain took a fancy to this place and spent a huge price to buy it as a communication base for ancient martial arts practitioners.
The town is particularly lively today because of the arrival of a large number of monks.
There were many monks on the road wearing Taoist robes, Gua robes, Zhongshan suits and even plain clothes.
"Godmother, why does that old man have white hair but still look so young? It's so strange." Kyle followed Qin Shu and looked at the people passing by on the street.
They did not bring any guards or bodyguards to attend the ancient martial arts exchange meeting this time.
There are two places for one invitation, so they can't bring them in even if they want to.
Qin Shu followed Kyle's gaze and said with a smile, "When you reach his age, your face will be younger than his. My Qin family's longevity secret technique can keep you younger than those who practice it for many years."
I don’t know what she saw, but Qin Shu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, revealing a look of surprise.
At the exchange meeting, she saw some people in suits and ties, who looked either rich or noble.
"Thank you Madam, long time no see!"
A familiar male voice came from behind.
Qin Shu looked back and saw Master Lingxi who gave him the invitation.
She nodded slightly: "Long time no see——"
Master Lingxi stared at Qin Shu, his brows suddenly furrowed, "Madam Xie, haven't you found a way to prolong your life yet?"
At this moment, in Master Lingxi's eyes, Qin Shu had been submerged in the thick black fog of death, and her true appearance was almost unrecognizable.
Qin Shu smiled bitterly and joked to herself, "Maybe God is too jealous of me and has been blocking me."
Lingxi's eyelids twitched, and she said solemnly, "Madam Xie, you can't say that."
He clearly saw that when Qin Shu said those words, the black mist of death on her body was trembling and becoming thicker.
Qin Shu shrugged and said with a smile, "I heard that there are many magical instruments and elixirs for sale here, as well as some strange talismans. Why don't you take me to broaden my horizons, Master Lingxi?"
She has always known about this circle but has never set foot in it, so she is still very curious about it.
Master Lingxi saw that the black mist of death on Qin Shu had calmed down and nodded, "It's my honor."
He instructed the young man following behind him: "Go find your senior brother. I will come find you later."
"Yes, Master—" the boy turned and left.
Lingxi took Qin Shu and Kyle and walked on the street where stalls were set up.
"Everything here is authentic. Once someone is found selling fakes, not only will they be kicked out of the ancient martial arts circle forever, but their family and master will also be implicated. If you have something you like, you can buy it. If you encounter inferior items, you can only bear the risk yourself..."
"The Ancient Martial Arts Exchange Conference will only be held for three days. On the first day, everyone will get familiar with the environment. On the second day, there will be an auction. On the third day, the Ancient Martial Arts practitioners will compete with each other..."
Qin Shu walked beside Lingxi, listening to his gentle voice as he explained the ancient martial arts conference in detail.
Qin Shu turned back inadvertently and found that Kyle was gone.
Looking further back, I saw Kyle bargaining with a stall owner. The stall was also very strange, with only a few talismans on it.
"You're selling these few pieces of paper for 10,000? Are you robbing me?"
"What do you, a foreigner, know? This is a talisman to ward off evil spirits!"
Kyle's face was full of questions: "What are you avoiding?"
The stall owner snatched the talisman away and drove the man away in disgust: "You won't understand even if I tell you. Go away and don't disturb my business!"
Kai was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Who said I wouldn't buy it! I'll buy it!"
He pulled out his wallet from his pocket and pulled out a dozen U.S. dollars: "Here! Give me those papers!"
When the stall owner saw that the business was successful, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face. After seeing the US dollars, his face darkened.
"What the hell is this! I want Chinese currency! Why are you giving me the money of a dead person?"
Kyle's expression was distorted, and he was so angry that he almost died on the spot: "This is US dollars! US dollars! One is equivalent to seven or eight of your Chinese yuan!"
The stall owner blew his beard and glared, saying hatefully: "Do you think I'm easy to fool? What kind of money is more valuable than our Chinese currency? How shameless! Go and have fun!"
Kyle is about 1.8 meters tall and was pushed around by the stall owner like a chick. Qin Shu walked forward.
"I'll pay for what he wants, please pack it up."
Qin Shu took out a bundle of cash from her handbag and handed it to the stall owner.
The stall owner was about to take the money when he saw Lingxi standing behind Qin Shu and exclaimed, "Master, is this your friend?"
Master Lingxi took the money Qin Shu handed over and took it back: "These talismans were made by me. Since Madam Xie's godson likes them, I will give them to him."
Qin Shu shook her head: "This is inappropriate." She bent down and put the money on the stall.
Although Lingxi is less than 50 years old, he is a leading figure in the Chinese metaphysics circle.
His appearance fee is very high, and ordinary people cannot afford to invite him, let alone ask for the talismans he drew himself.
If it weren't for the exchange conference, Qin Shu felt that with just these few talismans, she could sell them to someone who knew the business and it wouldn't be a problem to get a price of one hundred thousand.
Lingxi shook her head helplessly and joked, "It's really hard to ask for a favor from you."
Qin Shu stuffed the talisman handed over by the stall owner into Kyle's arms and looked at Lingxi with a smile.
"You want a favor from me for 10,000 yuan? You are kidding me."
Lingxi raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile: "How much can I buy your favor? You name a price, I will not hesitate to spend my entire fortune."
Qin Shu was amused: "No money required, as long as I am still alive next year, you will have a chance."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Lingxi's face disappeared and regret appeared in her eyes.
"Yes, Madam Xie is blessed with good fortune and the Emperor Star is with her. She will surely find a glimmer of hope."
Qin Shu liked what she heard, and said with a smile: "Since you are so nice, I will sell you all the medicine I brought this time, no matter how much you can take!"
Master Lingxi's face turned green when he heard this: "Ahem... that's not necessary. I just need the Heart Purifying Pill, the Qi Nourishing Pill, and the Life Sustaining Pill."
Over the years, Qin Shu has almost thoroughly studied Taoist Medicine.
You can gain many abilities from it, such as cultivation, alchemy, and the most magical medical skills.
Qin Shu nodded and said, "Okay, but the remaining medicine will still be distributed from you according to the old rules."
In the past few years, the medicines she made were all sold through Lingxi. Their efficacy was more significant than ordinary medicines, so they were very popular.
"Okay, or at the same price as before?"
"This is an exchange conference. Since it's only open to internal users, let's increase the price by 10%."
Lingxi, who thought Qin Shu was going to lower the price, couldn't help but laugh: "It's because this is an internal exchange meeting. In order to show human touch, the things here will be sold very cheaply. Shouldn't Madam Xie lower the price?"
Qin Shu glanced at him and said, "What are you thinking? You are a bastard if you don't make money. Besides, I am not from your circle."
