The Rise of the Cultivation Family

Chapter 39 Trade Fair

The next day, Yun Yongzhu went to Qinghefang City together again. Wang Yiming did not go wandering this time, but helped Yun Yongzhu look after the stalls.

In this way, Yun Yongzhu is more relaxed and only needs to be responsible for collecting the spirit stones.

There were very few people who bought the Qi Gathering Pill yesterday, and they were all inner disciples.

In fact, the main reason is because of the price set by Yun Yongzhu. A low-grade Qi Gathering Pill is priced at nine spirit stones, and a medium-grade Qi Gathering Pill is priced at eleven spirit stones.

You know, although this price is not uncommon in the sect, it is the price only available for Qi Gathering Pills refined by long-established or second-level alchemists.

Although more sect disciples know Yun Yongzhu now, he is still just an unknown quasi-alchemist.

Under such circumstances, even fewer disciples would buy Qi Gathering Pills from him.

However, there seemed to be more people coming to buy Qi Gathering Pills today, including a few outer disciples and handyman disciples.

This is strange, the outer disciples and the handyman disciples are both people who split a spirit stone into two halves, so why would they spend an extra spirit stone to buy a Qi Gathering Pill from him.

Yun Yongzhu thought of the familiar faces who rushed to buy Qi Gathering Pills at his stall, and made some guesses in his mind.

He thought that maybe they had already taken his Qi Gathering Pill and knew that the pill was more effective, so they came to buy it again. Some people even told their friends in the sect about the news.

Yun Yongzhu is naturally happy to see this happen. In this way, all his Qi Gathering Pills should be sold out within five days.

The reason why he priced it high was mainly because the Qi Gathering Pill he refined was indeed more effective.

And since he is aiming to earn spiritual stones, there is no reason not to set the price higher, which will also allow him to lose less.

Even if he couldn't sell them all in the end, he could go to Wanbao Pavilion and find Senior Sister Liu to sell them wholesale.

In such a lively atmosphere, the 120 six bottles and eight Bigu Pills prepared by Yun Yongzhu were sold out, and the Qi Gathering Pills also sold fifty on the morning of the fourth day.

As for the high-grade Qi Gathering Pill, it must be kept for myself to enjoy.

Doing the math, there are 53 high-grade Bigu Pills, 190 eight middle-grade pills, and the rest are all low-grade pills. The total price sold is one thousand, four hundred and seventy three spirit stones.

Two mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills were sold, and 48 low-grade Qi Gathering Pills were sold, earning 450 four spirit stones.

The material cost of Bigu Pill is 150 and 320 spirit stones, and the profit is [-] and three spirit stones.

The material cost of the Qi Gathering Pill is 340 spirit stones, and the negative profit is [-] six spirit stones.

Overall, the total income was 920 and seven spirit stones, deducting the cost of materials and spirit wood, with a negative profit of 63 spirit stones.

After doing the mental calculation, Yun Yongzhu was a little disappointed. He thought he could make a lot of money through the trade fair, but he ended up losing some money.

But because he had expected it, it was more of a comfort. His alchemy skills had indeed improved a lot in more than a year. The loss of Qi Gathering Pills had been decreasing, and this time he also refined a high-grade Qi Gathering Pill.

Yun Yongzhu believed that he would be able to recoup the cost of refining the Qi Gathering Pill himself in the near future, and even make a small profit.

Fortunately, he was smart enough to train the Bigu Pill first, so that he could continue to study the Qi Gathering Pill. Otherwise, he might not be able to afford low-grade spiritual rice now.

And this time he didn't make too much fuss, and focused on Bigu Pill.

Putting aside their feelings about unsatisfactory revenue, Yun Yongzhu and Wang Yiming walked around the city happily.

Not long after, the two met Song Jiyang and Wang Xiner, so the four of them got to know each other together. Then they drank tea in the tea house, exchanged some cultivation experiences, talked about recent events in the sect, interesting things that happened while doing sect tasks, etc. wait.

The fifth day is the last day of Qinghe Xiaohui, and it is also the most important day. On this day, Wanbao Pavilion will hold a trading event.

The two of them got up early this morning and went straight to Wanbao Pavilion, wanting to participate in this grand event.

When I arrived at the entrance of Wanbao Pavilion's shop, I saw many disciples walking inside in an endless stream.

The two quickly joined the queue and walked into the store together.

"How did it get so big here?"

As soon as Yun Yongzhu entered, he was surprised to find that the space inside Wanbao Pavilion was many times larger.

There were many monks in the lobby at this time. It was roughly estimated that there were thousands of people, and there were many people coming in outside the store.

Yun Yongzhu looked around and found no one he knew, so he and Wang Yiming sat down in an empty seat at the back.

"Is this place so spacious because of the use of space expansion techniques? Or is it because of the arrangement of space formations?"

Apart from these two reasons, Yun Yongzhu could not think of other possibilities.

"Senior Brother Yun, you are right in your guess. I heard that every time this kind of trade fair is held in Xiaofang City within the sect, they will go to the formation hall to invite the formation master, or ask the uncle who knows the art of space expansion to arrange it. , so this trade fair will start on the last day.”

It was exactly as he thought, but this space-related spell was at least an intermediate spell, so it must not be easy to practice, and he had never seen it in the Sutra Pavilion.

In the past three years, he has practiced "Fire Escape Technique", and now he has only had a slight understanding of it, and is still far from being ready for formal introduction.

This experience also made Yun Yongzhu truly understand the difficulty of cultivating intermediate magic techniques.

“Have you been to a trading event before?

What items are traded at the fair? "

"Senior Brother Yun, I actually participated once. It was five years ago, but it was not in Qinghefang City..."

The two of them talked for about half a cup of tea, and all the seats in the lobby were filled, and many disciples who came in later could only stand.

It was bustling, conservatively speaking, there must be between 5000 and [-] people in the entire lobby.

Soon trading officially began.

I saw a middle-aged monk coming out and standing on the newly built platform in the lobby.

"Welcome all of you to Qinghefang City to participate in this trading event. I am Qian Duoduo, the head of Wanbao Pavilion.

Everyone is here for trading, and they all know the rules of the trade fair, so I won’t talk nonsense and let us, Wanbao Pavilion, make a good start! "

With that said, Qian Duoduo took out the things he had prepared.

"This is Huan Lingsha, a first-level high-grade magic weapon. This magic weapon can be used offensively or defensively. Thousands of magic grasses are added during the refining process, so it can be changed and its ductility is also very strong. It can be extended a hundred times or a thousand times without any problem!
This Huan Lingsha is exchanged for things, with the priority being exchanged for spiritual herbs and elixirs of equal value, followed by weapon refining materials. Fellow disciples, if you want this magical weapon, please tell me your price! "

As soon as Qian Duoduo finished speaking, a disciple made an offer.

"A flower in the stone!"

"A purple-leaf orchid!"

"A piece of tungsten essence weighs a pound!"

……

This magic rhombus magic weapon is obviously very popular, and there is an endless stream of people making offers, most of them are from the inner sect, and most of them are women.

Yun Yongzhu looked at the pink-blue, thin and soft ribbon hanging on Qian Duoduo's arm, and regretted that it would be better if the design was more masculine.

However, it was none of his business no matter how much he thought about it. Even if this magic weapon suited his aesthetics, he had no items in his hand to exchange for it.

After a long time, this piece of magic rhombus yarn was successfully traded for the price of one elixir and one weapon refining material.

Qian Duoduo was very satisfied with the items in this transaction. He smiled and said: "The following is my private transaction item, which is also a magic weapon. Please take a look..."

Qian Duoduo took out his magic weapon, introduced the grade and function of the magic weapon in detail, traded spiritual stones, and finally made a deal with the highest bidder.

"I'm just throwing some bricks to attract jade. I've already thrown out two pieces of beautiful jade. Now I'm done. If you want to trade, please come to the stage!"

Qian Duoduo happily put away a large amount of spiritual stones, walked down the trading desk happily, and sat down not far away.

The scene did not become deserted with Qian Duoduo's fate, and soon several people stood up at the same time and headed towards the trading desk.

One person took the lead on the stage, and the rest waited for the next performance not far from the stage.

This scene also made many disciples who had recently entered the sect understand that this kind of trade fair should be held frequently in the sect, and its rules were already well known.

Most of the items traded next are magic weapons, as well as spiritual herbs and elixirs. The transaction methods are either bartering or bidding with spiritual stones.

Although not every transaction item is precious, the atmosphere at the scene has always been warm.

"My fellow disciples, I am here to trade magical weapons on behalf of Master Qin Ming.

Everyone, please see, the magic weapon I have is called the Flowing Light Wing. It is a medium-grade flying magic weapon. It was refined by Uncle Qin Ming by using the feathers of three kinds of demon birds, plus floating stones and wind control stones. .

The speed of the Streaming Wing is faster than that of the flying sword of the same level. If all the spiritual power is input, the burst speed is comparable to that of a high-level flying sword.

This magic weapon is traded for spiritual stones. The one with the highest price will get it. You can bid now. "

After the man finished speaking, someone immediately quoted him 52 spirit stones, [-] spirit stones...

Yun Yongzhu looked at the palm-sized winged magic weapon in the hands of the person on the stage, and wondered whether he should take action to get this magic weapon. You know, he just lacked a flying magic weapon.

He had heard about the name of Uncle Qin Ming. This uncle was famous in the sect for his obsession with refining weapons, and he heard that the quality of the magical weapons he refined was quite good.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Yongzhu felt that it was time for him to equip a flying magic weapon, so he decided to take action.

However, he did not make an offer immediately. Instead, he waited until the offer reached 110. When no one in the venue said anything for a long time, he successfully won the magic weapon for [-] spirit stones.

Yun Yongzhu settled the payment for the spiritual stone on the spot, and Liuguang Wing was successfully obtained.

However, now that the trading atmosphere has reached a small climax, it is not the time to play with the instruments, so after putting away the instruments, he returned to his original position and sat down.

It didn't take long for the elixir trade to appear, and even more precious elixirs such as the Marrow Cleansing Pill to appear. And to the surprise of all the disciples, the transaction method was bidding with spiritual stones.

Of course, Yun Yongzhu was also one of the surprises. He passed five levels and killed six generals. After some competition, he successfully won this low-grade marrow cleansing pill for the price of six hundred spirit stones.

The main function of the Marrow Cleansing Pill is to open up the meridians, ease the menstrual flow and cut down the marrow, cleanse the body of dirt, remove impurities from the body, and also has the effect of expanding the meridians.

This elixir has the greatest effect on mortals and monks in the Qi-training stage. After taking it, mortals can strengthen their physique and prolong their lives. After taking it, monks in the Qi-training stage can also increase their cultivation speed.

As for monks with a foundation-building level or above, since their bodies are already clean after building a foundation, the Marrow Cleansing Pill has little effect on them.However, if a monk takes elixirs for a long time to practice, there will be more or less erysipelas impurities left in his body that he cannot detect.

If these erysipelas impurities accumulate too much, although they will not be life-threatening, they will hinder cultivation, slow down the monk's cultivation speed, and even encounter a cultivation bottleneck.

The Marrow Cleansing Pill can also solve this situation, but monks who can encounter this situation will certainly have the ability to obtain the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Because the Marrow Cleansing Pill is suitable for monks in almost all realms, there are many debates about the grade of its pill. Some people say it is a first-order pill, others say it is a second-order pill, and some even say it is a third-order pill. A panacea.

Even in the alchemy world, it is difficult for alchemists to determine the grade of the Marrow Cleansing Pill because two second-level elixirs are needed to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill. However, many first-level alchemists who are experienced in alchemy can also make it. Make a marrow-cleansing pill.

However, it is difficult to determine the grade of elixirs, and it is not just the Marrow Cleansing Pill. There are many kinds of elixirs, and it is also very difficult to define their grade.

Returning to the trade fair, after Yun Yongzhu took back the low-grade marrow-cleansing pill, he could no longer keep a low profile. Everyone's eyes glanced at him from time to time.

Fortunately, more and more elixirs were traded later, drawing everyone's attention away from him.

There were so many elixirs, among which the most common elixirs were of course the elixirs for improving spiritual power. Most of them were elixirs produced by well-known alchemists in the sect. Yun Yongzhu was envious when he saw them.

Next are elixirs for restoring spiritual power, healing elixirs and detoxifying elixirs, and even a few poison elixirs with amazing effects.

It not only contains elixirs suitable for disciples in the Qi training stage, but also elixirs suitable for monks in the foundation building stage.

What surprised Yun Yongzhu was that several elixirs specialized in beauty and beauty appeared on the trading desk, and the final transaction prices were quite high.

About two hours later, as if after discussion, the elixir transactions became less and less, and other trading items gradually appeared.

There are all kinds of demon pills and materials from monster beasts, and all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs, some of which are suitable for refining weapons, some of which are suitable for alchemy, and some of which can be eaten directly.

There were also many monsters and spirit beasts, monster cubs, spirit beast eggs, etc., which opened the eyes of the young disciples present. Yun Yongzhu also got to know many monsters, spirit beasts, and spiritual plants that he did not know. Grass.

There are some walking spirit beasts that make him shine, but he has already bought the Flowing Light Wing before, so there is no need to keep another walking spirit pet.

"What I want to trade are eighteen soul-eating golden cicada eggs. Everyone, this soul-eating golden cicada is a strange insect that ranks among the top [-] on the strange insect list. It can nourish the soul of a monk by devouring the souls of other living beings.

Without further ado, I will trade these eighteen insect eggs one by one and bid with spirit stones. Now let’s start trading the first one. Whoever wants it can bid! "

Yun Yongzhu has not read the Strange Insect List, but he has heard of the demonic insects and spiritual insects that rank high on the Strange Insect List, including precious spiritual insects like the Soul-Eating Golden Cicada.

Nourish the soul, this effect is very precious!
A strong soul means that the spiritual consciousness is powerful, which means that the scope of the spiritual consciousness is wider, and the power of casting spells will be higher.

After many years of practice and understanding of the world of immortality, Yun Yongzhu knew that the reason why his practice speed was so fast, and why his alchemy skills were faster and faster than those of his peers, all had a lot to do with his naturally powerful soul. !
Of course, he hopes that his soul will be more powerful to help him move more steadily, faster, and longer on the road of cultivation.

In the past few years, he had read many classics in the sect and asked about elixirs or methods that could nourish the soul and increase consciousness.

Unfortunately, he only found a few elixirs that had an effect on the soul and strange insects like the soul-eating golden cicada.

However, those elixirs that are beneficial to the soul are often in the third or fourth level. With his ability, he is only capable of them.

Since there are still eighteen eggs for him to encounter the soul-devouring golden cicada, he has to capture one no matter what.

But Yun Yongzhu is not the only one who knows the benefits of nourishing the soul, and he is not the only one who is determined to get a soul-eating golden cicada egg.

As soon as the man on the trading desk finished speaking, there were people rushing to speak out. Quotes were heard constantly, and soon the price reached 340 spirit stones.

At this time, everyone gradually calmed down. After all, no matter how precious it is, what is traded is just an insect egg. Whether it can be hatched and raised later is still unknown.

340 spirit stones are already considered "very valuable" for an insect egg.

"Everyone, does anyone still have an offer? I have specially prepared a breeding manual for the Soul-Eating Golden Cicada~"

The tone was full of temptation. Some people couldn't hold it back and added another spirit stone. After that, no one made any more offers. After all, there were still many spirit insect eggs.

Yun Yongzhu didn't plan to make an offer so early. He planned to wait until the fourth or fifth insect eggs were traded before making a move.

At this time, Wang Yiming, who was sitting next to Yun Yongzhu, sent him a message: "Senior Brother Yun, do you want to buy an insect egg?"

Yun Yongzhu turned his head and looked at him doubtfully: "What? Is there a problem?"

"It's not that there's a problem, it's just that it's rumored that it's not easy to cultivate this soul-eating golden cicada..."

Through Wang Yiming's narration, Yun Yongzhu learned that although strange insects like the Soul-eating Golden Cicada were rare, they also appeared from time to time in the sect.

"...So although there are not many people in the sect who have cultivated the Soul-eating Golden Cicada, there are some, but not many have actually successfully cultivated it.

Senior Brother Yun, take a closer look. Are most of the people bidding on the floor young disciples? "

Yun Yongzhu can only see with his eyes, because no matter where he is, monks are very taboo about others using their spiritual consciousness to look at them unscrupulously. This will be regarded as hostile by others.

With his super memory, he found all the people who had spoken out one by one, and found that it was true as he said, most of them were young disciples around 20 years old, and judging by their clothes, most of them belonged to the inner sect.

"Many senior brothers and sisters who have purchased Soul-Eating Golden Cicada eggs have told people that it is very difficult to cultivate this spiritual insect, and they all ended in failure.

Therefore, most of the "seniors" in the sect who have heard about this matter no longer spend this time, energy and resources to purchase and cultivate this strange insect.

Moreover, it is rumored that the Soul-eating Golden Cicada is a gold-devouring beast, which consumes a lot of resources. Junior Brother, I will say this, but Senior Brother Yun, you must think carefully about it. "

"Thank you, Junior Brother Wang, for reminding me."

Yun Yongzhu didn't show it on his face, but he was seriously thinking about the pros and cons in his heart.

After a while, he still made up his mind to buy an insect egg. Even if it was difficult to cultivate the soul-eating golden cicada, he would have to experience it himself before he would be willing to do so.

No matter what, the role of this spiritual insect was an opportunity that he could not miss.

Moreover, he still had more than 400 spirit stones in his pocket at this time, and it was within his ability to purchase an insect egg.

Therefore, when Yun Yongzhu traded the fourth insect egg, he successfully obtained an insect egg and a breeding manual for 320 spirit stones.

After the soul-eating golden cicada eggs were gone, a dozen or so good spiritual beasts appeared.

In particular, the three spiritual beasts and insects, the human-faced charm spider, the gold-eating insect and the soul-seeking rat, are of great help to the monks and are of high value.

The Human-Faced Charm Spider is born with the ability to charm and can confuse other creatures without even realizing it.

Gold-eating insects, if they eat various metal ores for a long time, will condense the essence of metallic ores in their bodies.

The spirit-seeking rat is a good helper in finding the spirit-planting elixir.

Yun Yongzhu had only learned about these three spirit beasts from classics, and was very covetous of them, but there were so many people who were covetous, which could be known from the intensity of competition on the field.

It is no exaggeration to say that the competition for the Marrow Cleansing Pill was many times more fierce than his previous competition, because the main competition targets of these three spiritual beasts were the master uncles in the foundation building stage.

Nearly an hour later, the monsters and spirit beasts came to an end, and various talismans appeared.

Yun Yongzhu had no shortage of seal talismans, but he still exchanged 160 spirit stones for a second-level low-grade defensive talisman seal turtle shell.

Although he doesn't seem to be able to use the second-level defensive talisman at the moment, this is a world of cultivating immortals. Who knows whether tomorrow or the accident will come first, so it's best to be prepared.

The defensive talisman seals in his hand are all low-level talisman seals, most of which were drawn by his mother. Among them, there are only ten high-grade defensive talisman seals, and they are all water shield talismans, specially used for his self-defense.

Yang Liu'er is best at drawing five-element talismans. Perhaps because of her practice of water-based skills, she has the highest success rate in drawing water-attribute talismans.

In the Qingshan Sect, among the four major cultivation skills of the Alchemy Talisman Array, the most people are those who make talismans. In addition, the sect has a rich collection of classics, so there are many types of talisman and seal scripts.

The talismans with different functions also opened Yun Yongzhu's eyes again, and he lamented that his own knowledge was still lacking.

After the various talismans and seals were played, it was the turn of formations.

Formations are not something that ordinary people can afford, and only a few inner disciples in the sect will set up a low-level formation outside the cave.

Yun Yongzhu's spiritual consciousness reached into his storage bag. He still had a thousand spirit stones in his hand, which should be enough to buy a small high-grade formation. Let's see if there is one suitable for him.

He was lucky, and successfully traded 980 spirit stones for a set of missing formations.

This mysterious formation is a first-level high-grade formation. It is a phantom formation and a passive defensive formation.

In the confusion array, there are both true and false, and all kinds of illusions permeate it, making it difficult for people to guard against.

Even ordinary foundation-building monks will be aroused by their inner demons and fall into illusions, recalling the most painful memories in their hearts. The person setting up the formation can hide in the formation and take advantage of this moment to kill the opponent.

This is also the main reason why Yun Yongzhu spent nearly a thousand spirit stones on the Lost Tracing Formation. Otherwise, these many spirit stones would have been enough for him to buy two or three ordinary low-grade spiritual weapons.

That's why the formation masters have a saying of "If you don't open for three years, you will have to wait for three years if you open for three years." The income from one transaction is more than a hundred times that of other immortal cultivation professions.

After purchasing the Mysterious Array, any treasure that appears next will have nothing to do with Yun Yongzhu.

At this time, he was purely gaining knowledge, because he only had 21 spirit stones left in his storage bag, which could be considered empty.

Then there was a phantom array, which was also a phantom array, but the phantom array was the best of the phantom arrays. Although it was also a first-level high-grade array, its power was several times that of the mysterious array.

However, even if the phantom formation comes on first, the spirit stone in Yun Yongzhu's hand cannot defeat this formation.

Sure enough, in the end, the Phantom Array was exchanged for more than 300 spiritual stones.

Later, a magic weapon called "Linglong House" appeared, and Yun Yongzhu wanted it very much.

This is another high-grade magic weapon refined by Uncle Qin Ming. It is a space magic weapon that can change in size and be carried around.

The Linglong House is usually only about the size of a walnut. When it is needed, it can be enlarged by injecting spiritual power. It can also be used for defense by placing spiritual stones in the formation.

Yun Yongzhu thought that if he had such a Linglong House magic weapon, it would be much more convenient, safer and more comfortable to go out in the future.

It's a pity that he has no money and can't afford it.

In the end, I could only watch as this magic weapon was bought for [-] spirit stones.

After Linglong House, there were no outstanding trading products. In less than half an hour, the Qinghefang City trading event came to a successful conclusion.

Yun Yongzhu and Wang Yiming fled quickly and returned to Luoyunju as quickly as possible.
