Qinghe Immortal Clan.

After leaving the port and entering the island, they walked through a small market town and soon arrived at a high mountain in the center of the island.

After arriving here, Chen Yurong, who was walking in front, stopped immediately, then took out a red jade token from her body, cast a spell and threw it into the air.

A moment later, a ray of spiritual light shot out from the top of the red jade plate and fell directly on the mountain wall in front. Suddenly, a vortex-like airflow rolled up in front of the originally calm mountain wall, and then a group of white clouds with a radius of four or five feet high appeared.

When the white mist appeared in front of everyone, a burst of light appeared under the feet of Chen Yurong, who was standing below, and she flew directly into the air and disappeared into the white mist.

Seeing this, the others immediately followed, flew into the air and quickly passed through the white cloud.

As soon as he passed through the clouds, Song Qingming felt his eyes brighten, and his figure appeared in a very tall and somewhat magnificent cave. Several huge night pearls on the mountain wall not far ahead had illuminated the area around them as if they were still outside.

Just as everyone stood firm, an old man with a round face and long beard came up to them quickly.

"Haha! Fairy Chen is here to visit us. I'm sorry I didn't come to greet you. I hope you don't mind!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yurong immediately smiled and bowed in return, saying, "Fellow Daoist Long, you are too polite. These few people are also good friends of our sect. They want to come together to participate in this exchange conference. I hope that fellow Daoist can also give them some convenience."

When the round-faced old man heard Chen Yurong's introduction, he immediately glanced at Song Qingming and the others standing beside him, then smiled and nodded slightly:
"Although I haven't invited many strangers to join me recently, since Fairy Chen introduced me here, there shouldn't be any problem. I welcome you very much!"

After the round-faced old man finished speaking, he took the initiative to bow to Song Qingming and the others, and introduced himself to them, as well as some rules of the barter conference.

When Song Qingming went to Wu State to participate in the Star Conference for the first time, he also followed Chu Fengping, Chen Xuanxin and others to Dengyun Tower to participate in an exchange conference among Jindan cultivators.

He also used a "Bailu Pill" to exchange with Old Monster Mo for a third-level mid-grade magic weapon and a high-level defensive talisman, gaining a lot.

The few of them talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at a hall inside the cave.

This hall was also very spacious and bright, with several stone pillars standing in the middle and exquisite landscape paintings hung on the walls on both sides. At this time, there were already twenty or thirty people sitting in various places in the hall.

Song Qingming took a quick glance and found that most of those sitting there were people with cultivation above the Jindan stage. A small number of foundation-building cultivators were also sitting next to a Jindan cultivator, and it was obvious that they had come here with their Jindan-stage companions.

"Please sit for a while. There are still some Taoist friends from Feihe Island and Yunlong Mountain who haven't arrived yet. I will go out to greet them. Once they arrive, the barter meeting will start immediately."

"Please come in, Fellow Daoist Long!" After the round-faced old man welcomed everyone into the hall, he bowed and greeted Chen Yurong, then quickly turned around and walked out.

Soon, two more waves of monks came from outside. There were already about forty people in the hall. At this time, the round-faced old man walked to the stone platform in the middle of the hall and directly announced the official start of the exchange conference.

Through the introductions just now with the round-faced old man, Song Qingming already knew the name of the organizer of the barter conference, whose name was Long Fuhai.

This person is a well-known Jindan cultivator in the East China Sea. His cultivation has reached the ninth level of Jindan. Like Chen Yurong, he has also made an effort to reach the Yuanying realm once.

However, Long Fuhai is much older than Chen Yurong. He is now over 500 years old. It is basically impossible for him to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. The prospects of his career are not as bright as those of Chen Yurong.

This barter conference was organized by Long Fuhai and his good friend Luo Chengan, who was also a Jindan cultivator, on an island called "Luolong Island" more than a hundred years ago. It has been held more than twenty times so far.

Different from the last time Song Qingming attended the Dengyun Tower, the barter conference held on "Luolong Island" did not involve any process of the cultivators getting to know each other or discussing and exchanging ideas. Its only purpose was for the cultivators to exchange spiritual objects.

However, all the cultivators who participate in the barter conference, no matter who they are, need to pay a certain percentage of spirit stones to the organizer of the barter conference, "Luolong Island", for every spiritual object they successfully exchange.

In addition to organizing people to participate in the barter conference, "Luolong Island" is also responsible for identifying and guaranteeing the value of spiritual objects, as well as providing conveniences such as exchanging spiritual stones to the monks who come to the conference.

Long Fuhai had just announced the start of the barter conference when a young Confucian scholar in a yellow robe and a purple gold jade crown on his head took the lead and walked onto the stage.

After the young scholar bowed and greeted everyone, he waved his hand and took out a white jade bead that shone with golden light from his body. He then showed it to everyone and then slowly spoke with a calm face:

“My fellow Taoists, this is a third-grade middle-grade white jade lightning bead, a defensive magic weapon made from the eyeball of a thunder dragon, and it is particularly effective against lightning-attributed spells.

I want to exchange this item for a demon king's inner elixir of the same quality. If anyone can produce a gold demon king's inner elixir, I am willing to give him a third-level lower-grade spiritual talisman as compensation."

Seeing this man coming up on the stage and taking out a good quality level 3 defensive magic weapon, Song Qingming showed a little surprise on his face.

You should know that defensive magic weapons in the world of immortal cultivation have always been relatively precious. Song Qingming has participated in many large and small trade fairs over the years, and it is rare to see anyone take the initiative to sell magic weapons of this level.

Even when he attended the Wu Kingdom Star Conference, Song Qingming only saw one or two pieces, and they were basically snatched up by the crowd as soon as they came out, and were finally sold at a considerable premium.

This person took the initiative to exchange it for a third-grade medium-quality demon king's inner elixir. It really wasn't like he was taking advantage of others. I just don't know if anyone among so many people here would take it out.

Although there are many Jindan cultivators present, including many who have reached the late Jindan stage, it is not easy for everyone to hunt down a demon king in the middle Jindan stage.

Song Qingming also had an inner elixir that he had obtained from the "Black Scaled Beast" not long ago, but unfortunately, that demon elixir was only of the third lower grade, which did not meet this person's requirements, otherwise he would definitely have tried it through voice transmission.

As soon as the middle-aged scholar finished speaking, not long after, someone began to transmit a message to the stage, wanting to exchange the item with him. What Song Qingming did not expect was that He Mengxin, who was sitting not far from him, also sent a message to the stage.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming recalled that when He Mengxin and they were exploring the Yuanying Cave in Yue State together, the inner elixir of the gray rat demon king they killed together fell into her hands when they divided the spiritual objects.

So many years have passed, and Song Qingming thought that He Mengxin had used up the demon king's inner elixir long ago. He didn't expect that she had kept it until now.

You should know that spiritual objects like the Demon King's Inner Elixir cannot be preserved for a long time like spiritual objects such as spiritual herbs and fruits. Generally, they will begin to deteriorate and damage within about 20 to 30 years after being obtained.

Most monks who get this kind of thing will choose to get rid of it quickly and will not keep it with them forever.

Although He Mengxin also sent a message, it was a pity that the middle-aged Confucian scholar did not choose her as the trading partner, but exchanged the defensive magic weapon in his hand with another ugly and thin old man.

After Long Fuhai, on behalf of "Luolong Island", inspected the spiritual objects provided by both parties and found no problems, the first deal in the barter conference was officially concluded. Both parties to the transaction then left the middle platform with satisfaction.

Seeing that in the transaction just now, four or five people, including He Mengxin, tried to compete for the third-level intermediate defensive magic weapon, Song Qingming was quite shocked.

Unexpectedly, among so many Jindan cultivators present, there are quite a few who, like the middle-aged Confucian scholar, come with top-grade treasures. This also makes people more excited about the spiritual objects that will appear in this exchange conference.

Sure enough, the second cultivator who came on stage took out a valuable third-grade medium-quality spiritual medicine with water attribute, wanting to exchange it for a defensive talisman of the same quality.

Although the value of a third-grade intermediate spiritual medicine is far less than the defensive magic weapon that the first person just took out, this level of spiritual medicine is also a spiritual object that most cultivators can use very well. Everyone present, including Song Qingming, was moved the moment they saw this object.

Song Qingming did have a third-level medium-grade defensive talisman on him, but he had always kept it on him as a self-defense trump card. Although a third-level medium-grade spiritual medicine was good, it was not something Song Qingming urgently needed. After thinking about it for a moment, he gave up the idea of ​​exchanging this spiritual object.

As the barter meeting went smoothly, it didn't take long for this third-grade intermediate spiritual medicine to fall into the hands of an elegant man in white.

Although they were all trade fairs organized by Jindan-stage cultivators, and although many Jindan cultivators came to the barter conference that Song Qingming participated in at "Dengyun Pavilion", the quality of the spiritual objects brought out by most people were not very high.

And basically, they were relatively unpopular and difficult to sell items on the market, so they were not that attractive to other Jindan cultivators. Many cultivators were disappointed after participating in the event, and failed to exchange for the spiritual items they wanted. Unlike the last time, the participants of this "Luolong Island" exchange meeting obviously came with some sincerity to exchange spiritual items. The spiritual items everyone brought out were obviously much more practical, and basically attracted many cultivators to send voice messages and make offers.

Among the seven or eight people who went on stage successively, only one late Jindan cultivator walked down the stage with a look of disappointment on his face.

However, the reason why this person failed to exchange for the spiritual object he wanted was not because the spiritual object he took out was not attractive enough, but because the material from the third-level top-grade fire-attribute monster he wanted to exchange was too unpopular, and no cultivator present had this spiritual object.

You must know that the East China Sea cultivation world is surrounded by vast oceans. Fire-attributed monsters do not like this kind of living environment and are extremely rare. It is naturally not an easy task to find materials from high-level fire-attributed monsters here.

Although he had seen a lot of good things coming out, although these things were good, they were not the spiritual objects that Song Qingming wanted most at the moment. Therefore, he had only tried to quote the price once through voice transmission so far. He gave up immediately when he failed to get the other party's approval and did not participate too much in the competition for spiritual objects.

It was not until the ninth cultivator went up that the things he brought out made Song Qingming, who had been somewhat calm, show a hint of excitement on his face.

"My fellow Taoists are all accomplished cultivators. I don't think I need to introduce the function of this water spirit fruit in detail. I want to exchange this spirit fruit for a wood-attributed magic weapon or a third-level or higher elixir that can improve cultivation. If you are interested, please feel free to make an offer."

After hearing this person say what spiritual object he wanted to exchange, Song Qingming thought for a moment and immediately cast a spell to send a message to the other party.

"Water Spirit Fruit" is the main ingredient for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. As long as the ripe spirit fruit is taken directly to the Xiaoyao Sect's Good Deeds Pavilion, it can be exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill. Song Qingming naturally does not want to miss such a spiritual object.

However, this "Water Spirit Fruit" not only attracted Song Qingming. Not long after he finished casting the spell, two Jindan cultivators present also followed suit and quoted their prices through voice transmission.

The cultivator standing on the stage who took out the "Water Spirit Fruit" waited for a long time and saw that no one else was involved in the bidding. After hesitating for a moment, he sent a message to Song Qingming, agreeing to his offer.

Seeing this, Song Qingming was also delighted. He quickly stood up and walked to the front of the stage, then walked into a yellow formation that blocked his view from the outside world.

This is the yellow restriction that was specially set up by the "Luolong Island" side to isolate the spiritual vision in order to ensure that the information of the monks on both sides is not leaked during the transaction.

After entering the formation, Song Qingming waved his hand and took out a green short sword magic weapon from his body and handed it to Long Fuhai who was standing beside him.

This green short sword magic weapon is exactly the "Green Willow Sword" that Fire Phoenix returned to Song Qingming when he was forming his elixir.

With the improvement of his own cultivation over the years, Song Qingming has already had more sophisticated magic weapons in his hands. He no longer needs this third-grade inferior magic weapon, so he gave it to Jin Feng to use.

When he heard that the other party wanted a magic weapon with wood attribute, Song Qingming immediately thought of the "Qingliu Sword" on him, and directly sent a message to the other party to tell him that he wanted to use this magic weapon to exchange for the "Shuiling Fruit".

The man who wanted to trade with Song Qingming happened to be practicing a wood-attributed technique. Being able to possess a magic weapon of the same attribute would naturally improve his fighting ability. Therefore, the "Qingliu Sword" was important to him, and its value must be greater than some other magic weapons of the same level.

After Long Fuhai checked that there was nothing wrong with the "Green Willow Sword", he asked an alchemist next to him who was more familiar with spiritual fruits to take the "Water Spiritual Fruit" in the other's hand and examine it carefully for a moment before he felt at ease and returned the spiritual object to the two.

After getting the "Water Spirit Fruit" he wanted, Song Qingming showed a look of satisfaction on his face. He immediately took out two medium-grade spirit stones from his pocket and handed them over to Long Fuhai. This was also the fee they needed to collect as the organizer of the trade fair.

After completing the transaction, Song Qingming did not rush to leave the stone platform in the middle, but directly took out a set of third-level low-grade formations from his body and said to the monks sitting around him:
“This is a set of third-level low-grade magic array that I personally refined. If used properly with the help of the terrain, it can easily trap ordinary monsters below the middle stage of the golden elixir.

I want to exchange this magic array for a five-element spiritual object that assists in forming a pill. If the price is not enough, I am willing to compensate for the difference. If that Taoist friend is interested, please feel free to make an offer."

Since advancing to the third-level formation master, Song Qingming has refined several sets of third-level formations in the past few decades. The set of formations in his hand was refined after he found the materials in the Good Deeds Pavilion of Xiaoyao Sect more than ten years ago.

Seeing the high-level magic formation floating in front of Song Qingming, most of the cultivators present were immediately attracted to it, and many of them showed a hint of excitement in their eyes.

There are not many formation masters above level three in the world of immortal cultivation. In addition, the time consumed in refining a formation is much longer than other skills. Many high-level formation masters are unwilling to spend too much time on this. Therefore, formations above level three are not common on the market.

The reason why Song Qingming was able to refine several sets of third-level magic arrays in just a few decades without affecting his own cultivation was mainly because he had the incomplete map that could quickly restore his magic power.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be so easy to do.

Although the high-level magic circle in Song Qingming's hand, which is helpful for hunting monsters, is also considered a very good and rare spiritual object here, it has great attraction to the cultivators present as soon as it is taken out.

However, the five-element spiritual object that Song Qingming wanted to assist in forming the golden elixir was also not a common and precious spiritual object. Although many Jindan cultivators present were very tempted by the magic circle in Song Qingming's hand, not many of them asked for an offer through voice transmission.

Moreover, the person who sent the message to Song Qingming did not offer the price he wanted for the Five Elements Dan spiritual object, but some other high-level spiritual objects whose value was equal to the formation in his hand.

After a long while, seeing that no one had made an offer for the Five Elements Spiritual Object, a hint of disappointment slowly appeared on Song Qingming's face.

"It seems that none of these Jindan cultivators present here have what he wants." Just as Song Qingming was about to put away the magic circle in front of him, suddenly another voice transmission flew into his ears.

"Fellow Daoist, I still have a third-grade middle-grade Red Dragon Pill in my hand. This pill can improve the mana of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator by about ten years. Can I exchange it with you for this magic array?"

After hearing the other party's voice transmission, Song Qingming showed a hint of surprise on his face. After standing there and thinking for a moment, he replied to the other party without hesitation and agreed to the deal.

A third-grade intermediate elixir that can improve magical power is worth more than the third-grade low-grade magic array in Song Qingming's hand. The other party is willing to exchange it with Song Qingming. To be honest, he still gets a slight advantage.

Since the third-level formation in his hand could not be exchanged for the five-element elixir spiritual object he wanted, it would definitely not be a loss for Song Qingming to trade it for a third-level intermediate-quality elixir that would help him in his practice.

After all, for Song Qingming, who had the help of the incomplete map, it was not a difficult task as long as he had the right materials and spent some time to re-refine a set of third-level magic array.

If high-level materials for refining formations were not difficult to find around Weiguo, Song Qingming would probably have several more high-level formations on him.

For this transaction, according to the estimation of "Luolong Island", the third-grade intermediate "Red Dragon Pill" offered by the other party is worth more than the third-grade low-grade magic array in Song Qingming's hand.

Therefore, Song Qingming compensated the cultivator who came up to trade with him with another 5,000 spirit stones, and finally completed the transaction.

Although Song Qingming had already handed over an additional 600 spirit stones to the "Luolong Island" party in two consecutive transactions, he still had a look of satisfaction on his face when he walked down from the stage.

After all, everyone's luck is limited, and it is impossible to get the spiritual objects you want every time you go out. At a trade fair of this level, as long as you can get one or two things that are useful to you, it will be worthwhile for Song Qingming.

At the following exchange meeting, the remaining cultivators, including He Mengxin and others beside Song Qingming, all came on stage and began to exchange what they wanted. However, Song Qingming did not see the spiritual object he liked until the end, so he could only become a spectator.

Since Song Qingyu came here mainly to follow Song Qingming, he didn't have any spiritual objects he wanted to trade, so he didn't go on stage to quote a price.

However, He Mengxin, who came with her, was lucky. She used an extra magic weapon in her hand and some spirit stones to exchange for a third-level spirit fruit that could help early Jindan cultivators break through. It was a good deal for her.

The other two, Chen Yurong and Liu Cuiyun, also exchanged for one or two spiritual objects that were useful to them, so their trip was not in vain. It was also a gain for everyone who participated in the trade fair.

After attending the trade fair on "Luolong Island", Song Qingming and the other two had already planned to return to Wei State immediately, so they directly bid farewell to He Mengxin and others and did not choose to follow them back to "Wanhu Island".

When they parted, He Mengxin pulled Song Qingyu aside, took out some spirit stones and other spiritual objects that she had prepared long ago, and asked her to help pass them on to Liu Yuxin who was practicing alone outside.

It has been more than a month since they left Qinghe County. Song Qingming and the other two were a little worried about the situation at home. After He Mengxin and the others left, they immediately boarded the spirit boat and left Luolong Island. (End of this chapter)
