Chapter 624: East Sea Immortal Cultivation World, Tiandan City
The immortal cultivation world in the East China Sea is somewhat different from that in the Floating Cloud Mountains. Because this side is close to the sea, most of the immortal cultivation sects are located on numerous large and small islands, and the territories are not divided according to national borders.
Because it is backed by the sea, the cultivators here can go to various sea areas to hunt monsters and search for various precious spiritual objects in the sea. Therefore, the spiritual object resources in the East China Sea cultivation world are far richer than those in the Floating Cloud Mountains.
Although the population of the East China Sea immortal cultivation world is not much different from that of the Floating Cloud Mountains, due to the rich cultivation resources in the territory, the overall strength of the immortal cultivation sects here is much stronger than that of the Floating Cloud Mountains.
There are more than a dozen Nascent Soul sects in the entire East China Sea cultivation world. Adding on the numerous independent cultivation forces within the territory, the total number of Nascent Soul cultivators here is almost twice that of the Floating Cloud Mountains.
However, just like the Floating Cloud Mountains, there are no Divine Transformation cultivators in the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world. The cultivator with the highest level of cultivation is only in the late Nascent Soul stage.
The destination of Song Qingming and his two companions' trip, "Tian Dan City", is located on an island controlled by a Nascent Soul force in the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world. It is also the location of the headquarters of the "Tian Dan League".
After entering "Meishanfang", Song Qingming immediately felt some unique atmosphere in the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world. Because it was backed by the sea, there were obviously many more water-attributed spiritual objects in the market here than other types, and the prices of spiritual objects of the same level were also cheaper.
Moreover, the accent of the cultivators in the East China Sea cultivation world is very different from that in the Floating Cloud Mountains, so much so that Song Qingming could hardly hear clearly when the other party spoke too fast.
Fortunately, among the three, Song Qingyu had stayed here for a period of time and had mastered the local language very well. With her by her side, Song Qingming and the others also quickly became familiar with the local accent.
After resting in "Meishanfang" for a day, Song Qingming and his two companions recovered and set out again to the east. After walking for nearly thousands of miles, a different blue color suddenly appeared in the sky ahead.
As the flying boat approached, Song Qingming and others saw clearly the scene before them, which was the sea that they had been longing for.
Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan have been practicing in the immortal cultivation world of Floating Cloud Mountains for many years, but this is the first time they have seen the sea mentioned in the book, so they are very curious and deliberately slowed down the speed of the "Phantom Boat".
Unlike the equally boundless Taiyue Lake, the color of the sea water in front of us is darker, and the waves in the sea are constantly surging, and the momentum is somewhat scary.
There was a group of seabirds flying in the sky not far away. After seeing the "Phantom Boat" emitting spiritual light flying into the sky over the sea, they followed the boat curiously.
Feeling the sea breeze blowing across their faces and listening to the sound of the tide hitting the coast and reefs, Song Qingming and the other two couldn't help but relax a lot and immersed themselves in this beautiful scenery.
Following the instructions of the nautical chart they had purchased in the market, Song Qingming and his companions crossed nearly ten thousand miles of ocean and finally saw a huge island appear on the horizon on the third day.
As the "Phantom Boat" just approached the island, Song Qingming immediately saw a giant magic circle looming in front of him that covered the entire island, and hurriedly slowed down the speed of the flying boat.
Before Song Qingming could look around, a small flying boat suddenly appeared not far from them, also heading in the same direction.
An old man at the sixth level of foundation building on the flying boat, after seeing the powerful aura of Jindan cultivators on Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, hurriedly bowed slightly towards them, and carefully controlled the flying boat to move away from them and move towards a port location below the island ahead.
Seeing this, Song Qingming also controlled the "Phantom Boat" under his feet and followed. Soon, they arrived at a large port guarded by a group of monks.
Compared to the quietness along the way when there were few monks, this place seemed much more lively, with flying boats coming and going in the sky from time to time, or monks leaving here on various flying magic tools.
There were several large ships parked at the port, and people were constantly moving various goods. In this port alone, Song Qingming had already seen hundreds of cultivators.
After seeing Song Qingming and the other two appear, a gray-robed man with the fourth level of foundation building cultivation immediately stepped out from among the many cultivators guarding the port, came to their side, and bowed to Song Qingming.
"Two seniors, I am honored to meet you. I wonder if you came to Tiandan City to buy some elixirs or spiritual objects, or if you intend to live here for a long time!"
Song Qingming glanced at the man, smiled and nodded slightly, saying: "We are here to purchase some medicinal pills, and we will leave in three to five days at most.
This is the first time for us to come to Tiandan City. We are not very familiar with the rules of your precious land and do not know what the requirements are for entering the city. Please remind us first, so that it will be more convenient for us."
“You are too polite, senior. We in Tiandan City have always made friends with people from all over the world. We do not have too many restrictions on foreign cultivators. Ordinary cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages only need to pay the required spirit stones to enter the city.
Jindan cultivators like you don't need to pay spirit stones. You just need to register your names here and bring this item to prove your identity, and you can enter the city directly."
After the gray-clothed man finished speaking, he took out a bamboo slip and three glowing red rings from his body and placed them in front of Song Qingming and others.
After taking a look at the ring in the gray-clothed man's hand, Song Qingming also understood that this spiritual object should be a token used to prove the identity of a cultivator, so he took it from the gray-clothed man.
Afterwards, Song Qingming used his magic power to write his own name on the bamboo slips taken out by the gray-clothed man, and handed it to Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan beside him. He only returned it to him after the names of the three appeared on the bamboo slips.
"Senior! The spiritual light on this ring will dissipate on its own in ten days. If you still want to stay here or plan to stay here for a long time, please go to the Tiandan Pavilion in the east of the city to replace this item."
After Song Qingming nodded slightly after hearing what he said, he took Song Qingyu and walked towards the huge city gate not far from the port.
After handing the token of identity to the gatekeeper for inspection, the three of them quickly followed the crowd directly into "Tiandan City".
The entire "Tiandan City" was built on the east side of this fourth-level spiritual vein, occupying almost half of the island. It has a radius of thousands of miles. Not only a large number of cultivators live here, but also countless mortals.
After entering the city, Song Qingming asked at the gate, and then took Song Qingyu and the others to an inn in the city and rented two guest rooms to stay in.
After resting for a night and washing off the fatigue in their bodies, the three of them came to the "Tian Dan Pavilion" located in the east of the city early the next morning.
This "Tian Dan Pavilion" is much larger than the several branches Song Qingming had seen in the Floating Cloud Mountains. Those who come and go here are basically cultivators with cultivation above the Foundation Establishment Stage.
As soon as the few people entered the door, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Tiandan League who was busy in the hall saw that it was two Jindan cultivators coming. He knew that there was a big business coming, so he hurriedly invited Song Qingming and the other two to the private room on the second floor.
After sitting down, before the manager of Tiandan Pavilion could ask any questions, Song Qingming took out a green jade token and handed it to the other party to explain his identity and purpose.
After recognizing the jade token in Song Qingming's hand, the Tiandan Pavilion manager immediately bowed and said enthusiastically: "Oh! So you were introduced by Master Gu. I didn't know that I was a little negligent in this matter. I hope you two seniors will not blame me!
However, the things you need are quite valuable, so I cannot make the final decision here. Please wait for a moment, and I will go down to ask the deacon elders. "
After the foundation-building manager finished speaking, he first went out and told the maid outside to bring a few cups of fragrant spiritual tea to Song Qingming and others, and then he quickly walked upstairs.
After half a cup of tea, a tall and thin old man wearing a green Taoist robe and a half-inch beard walked in from the door with a smile on his face.
"I am Ye Qiuyuan, the deacon elder of Tiandan Pavilion. Nice to meet you two fellow Taoists!"
"Thank you for your courtesy, Brother Daoist Ye!" After feeling the aura of a Jindan cultivator emanating from the old man in front of them, Song Qingming and others quickly stood up and saluted him in return.
Ye Qiuyuan glanced at Song Qingming and the other two, then asked them to sit down. He took a sip of the spiritual tea at hand before slowly speaking:
"I just heard from Junior Brother Chen that several fellow Taoists came from the Floating Cloud Mountains to buy Foundation Establishment Pills and Dan Formation Spiritual Items. I wonder how many Foundation Establishment Pills you want to buy this time and what kind of Dan Formation Spiritual Items you want. Please tell me in detail first."
"It's not easy for the three of us to come here from afar, so naturally we want to purchase a few more foundation-building pills. If it's convenient for you, fellow Daoist, we want to purchase five foundation-building pills this time.
As for the Dan-forming spiritual object, one Heavenly Fire Mysterious Pearl is enough."
This time when he came to the East China Sea to cultivate immortals, Song Qingming brought out a total of nearly 70,000 spirit stones from the family treasury. He used them to buy five foundation-building pills and one "Heavenly Fire Mysterious Pearl" needed for Huang Siyuan to form a pill. This should be just enough.
In addition, Song Qingming and his companions also carried more than 40,000 spirit stones with them, which Song Qingming planned to use to purchase some other elixirs and spiritual objects needed for daily practice.
After hearing what Song Qingming said, Ye Qiuquan looked a little embarrassed and said: "Fellow Daoist Song, to be honest, this foundation-building pill is also a very important spiritual object for our Tiandan Pavilion. It is indeed difficult for you to get so many at once.
However, since you were brought here by Junior Brother Gu, I will naturally not let you make a wasted trip. I can sell you two Foundation Establishment Pills at the market price of ten thousand spirit stones each. We at Tiandan Pavilion will never take advantage of you.
As for the five-element spiritual objects for forming a pill, to be honest, they are also very scarce here. Except for the auction held every twenty years, our Tiandan Pavilion does not sell them normally. It is really difficult to agree to your request directly. I can only apologize. However, if you want other second-rate spiritual objects that assist in forming a pill, we still have some here and can sell you one or two. "
Hearing the other party say this, Song Qingming showed a hint of disappointment on his face.
When Gu Qing introduced him to "Tian Dan City" at the beginning, what he said was much better than it is now. As long as there are enough spirit stones, foundation-building pills can be easily bought. Five elements pill-forming spiritual objects are also not difficult to find here.
Only after coming here did they realize that the old guy's words were probably a bit exaggerated, and he was just trying to trick them into coming here to buy spiritual objects.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, the reason why we came here from afar is mainly because we heard from Fellow Daoist Gu that we can find Five Elements Dan-forming spiritual objects in Tiandan City. I wonder when the auction that Fellow Daoist You mentioned will be held!"
Hearing Song Qingming's question, Ye Qiuyuan put down the tea in his hand and replied with a smile: "Daoyou's arrival is a bit unfortunate. The last auction was five years ago, and it will take more than ten years for Tiandan City to hold the next auction.
If you are willing to come, there will definitely be Five Elements Dan Spiritual Items. Please rest assured, but whether you can get them depends on your luck."
Knowing that the "Tian Dan City" auction would not be held for at least fifteen years, Song Qingming frowned slightly.
Although Huang Siyuan's lifespan is relatively sufficient and she can afford to wait for fifteen years, for the sake of her future path, Song Qingming does not want to delay her time to form a pill.
After thinking for a moment, Song Qingming continued:
"This! Fellow Daoist Ye, we are indeed anxious to find this item and cannot wait that long. I still have a top-grade spiritual stone and some second-grade spiritual medicines in my hand. Can I use these spiritual objects to exchange for a Heavenly Fire Mysterious Pearl with you?
If you agree, I am willing to give you some more spiritual objects. I hope you can help me. I will be very grateful!"
Ye Qiuyuan smiled and waved his hand after hearing this, saying, "Fellow Daoist Song, you have misunderstood. It is not my intention to embarrass you. It is true that the Grand Elder has set a rule that all the five-element spiritual objects that assist in forming the elixir in the Tiandan Pavilion cannot be sold to outsiders at will.
Although you were introduced by Junior Brother Gu, this is the first time we have dealt with each other. It is against the rules to rashly exchange this item with you. Even if I am willing to agree, it will definitely not work with the other deacons and elders."
Seeing that the other party still refused to give in, Song Qingming could only nod helplessly and said, "In that case, we can only come here again in the future to try our luck.
However, I still want to thank Fellow Daoist Ye for his advice on this matter. I brought these spiritual teas from home specially. I hope you don’t mind. If you go to the Floating Cloud Mountains in the future, please come to my Funiushan Mountain for a visit!"
After taking the bag of spiritual tea handed to him by Song Qingming, Ye Qiuyuan called a waiter from the "Tian Dan Pavilion" at the door and gave him detailed instructions.
After a while, the waiter took out two blue jade boxes and quickly delivered them to the private room where everyone was.
After seeing the jade box in Ye Qiuyuan's hand, Song Qingming hurriedly took it, opened it and checked it. After confirming that there was no problem with the Foundation Establishment Pill inside, he immediately took out 20,000 spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them to Ye Qiuyuan.
Although he failed to purchase all the spiritual objects he wanted at once, he was able to successfully buy two Foundation Establishment Pills, so it was not a wasted trip. After putting away the green jade box in his hand, Song Qingming finally showed a look of relief on his face.
After checking that the number of spirit stones in Song Qingming's hand was correct, Ye Qiuyuanli immediately ordered the waiter beside him to put them away, and then took out a yellow jade plate from his body and handed it to Song Qingming.
"Fellow Daoist Song, this is an item that only distinguished guests of my Tiandan Pavilion can possess. If you hold this item, you can enjoy a 50% discount on any elixir you buy from me in the future. I am giving it to you today.
We still have many elixirs in our Tiandan Pavilion that are needed for cultivation for cultivators in the foundation-building and even golden elixir stages. If you need them, you may go downstairs and take a look.
Daoist friend, rest assured, our Tiandan Pavilion shops are all over the East China Sea Xiuxian World, and the quality of the pills is guaranteed. Since Daoist friend is already a distinguished guest of our store, we will definitely not let you suffer a loss in terms of price. "
Taking the yellow jade token from Ye Qiuyuan's hand, Song Qingming showed some joy on his face, and hurriedly bowed his hands in thanks:
"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Ye! This time we came here, we also wanted to purchase some other elixirs needed for cultivation. If we can buy them all here at once, it would be better, and we don't have to go to other places again.
These are the elixirs and spiritual objects we want to buy. Please help check them out. We will buy one of them if they are listed here."
Before coming, Song Qingming had already made preparations in this regard.
In addition to several kinds of elixirs needed for his and Song Qingyu's daily practice, he also asked Song Yuanfang and others to record some elixirs that the family lacked and were difficult to buy near Wei State. Since they came to the East China Sea cultivation world, they naturally wanted to buy as many things as possible.
After Ye Qiuquan took the white paper from Song Qingming, he glanced at it and nodded with a smile, saying, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Song, we basically have all these elixirs in our store. Fellow Daoists, please wait for a moment, I will have someone get them for you right away."
Then Ye Qiuquan handed the paper to a waiter waiting at the door, and returned to the room to continue drinking tea and chatting with Song Qingming and others.
Although it was the first time they met, Ye Qiuyuan, Song Qingming and others were all Jindan cultivators, so they could naturally find some common topics. During the chat, Song Qingming also got to know Ye Qiuyuan, the deacon elder of the "Tian Dan League".
Ye Qiuyuan is much older than Song Qingming. He is already over 400 years old. In the Xiaoyao Sect, he is considered to be a cultivator of the same generation as Jin Ziyuan and Li Wutong.
This person's talent for cultivation is not very high. He has only cultivated to the sixth level of the Golden Core so far and has not yet broken through to the late Golden Core stage. Among the Golden Core cultivators, he is almost considered to have exhausted his potential. He will probably not be able to reach the stage of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime.
However, Ye Qiuyuan's talent for cultivation is average, but his alchemy skills are outstanding, much higher than Chu Fengping's. He is already a rare third-level top-grade alchemist in the world of immortal cultivation.
About half an hour later, when Ye Qiuyuan and Song Qingming were chatting happily, there was a knock on the door outside, interrupting everyone.
After a while, several guys from "Tian Dan Pavilion" walked in carefully with the note Song Qingming had just given them and dozens of porcelain bottles and jade boxes.
A foundation-building manager who was walking in front of them held two slips of paper, bowed to everyone, and then spoke to Song Qingming:
"Senior, except for the two kinds of elixirs, the Barrier Breaking Pill and the Oolong Pill, which are currently out of stock in our store, all other elixirs and spiritual objects have been fully equipped. After deducting the discount, the total cost is 13,600 spiritual stones. Please check it for me, senior."
After hearing this, Song Qingming nodded slightly, and asked Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu to come forward to help count the spiritual objects. He then took out another bag of spirit stones and handed it directly to Ye Qiuyuan.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, please count these spirit stones first!"
"Alas! Fellow Daoist Song, don't be anxious. Let's wait until they have inspected the spiritual objects. We in Tiandan Pavilion have always inspected the goods before collecting the spiritual stones. I can't break the rules casually."
Seeing that Ye Qiuyuan was a little persistent, Song Qingming didn't say anything more. He took back the spirit stone and placed it on the table next to him.
While Song Qingming and Ye Qiuyuan were talking, Huang Siyuan, who was holding a jade box in her hand, smelled the medicine inside carefully and hesitated for a moment, then turned around and whispered to the "Tian Dan Pavilion" clerk beside her:
"Fellow Daoist, can you give us another one of these Jade Pills?"
Hearing Huang Siyuan's request, before the waiter in front of her could reply, the foundation-building manager who was standing respectfully beside Song Qingyu immediately came over and asked with a serious face: "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, why do you want to exchange for pills? Are you dissatisfied with anything?"
Seeing the visitor's serious words, Huang Siyuan's expression did not fluctuate at all, and she replied calmly: "The taste of this Qingyu Pill is slightly wrong, it seems to have some impurities in it, please help us change one."
Upon hearing this, the foundation-building manager of the "Tian Dan Pavilion" quickly took the jade box from Huang Siyuan's hand, checked the "Green Jade Pill" in the box, picked it up and smelled it carefully, and said with a puzzled look:
"We have carefully checked these pills and found no quality problems. Could it be that you made a mistake?"
Huang Siyuan saw this and still shook her head and said, "Please don't blame me, I didn't mean to say anything nonsense here. The smell of this pill is indeed a bit wrong, and I am sure there are some impurities in it.
If you don't believe it, you can take it back to the furnace and dissolve it, and you will know it naturally."
Hearing Huang Siyuan say this, the face of the foundation-building manager suddenly turned ugly.
A "Green Jade Pill" is only worth a few hundred spirit stones. For the huge "Tian Dan Pavilion", it is not a precious spiritual object, and it is not a big deal to take it back to the furnace for melting.
However, the pills that had been carefully checked by so many of his people were actually discovered to have quality problems by the customer on the spot. If this were to get out, it would affect the reputation of "Tian Dan Pavilion", so he naturally could not afford to be careless.
"Bring the pills here for me to see!"
Just as the foundation-building manager of the Tiandan Pavilion was about to continue asking Huang Siyuan questions, Ye Qiuyuan, who was chatting with Song Qingming not far away, also noticed what was happening here and stood up and walked over here with Song Qingming. (End of this chapter)
