Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#146 - Chapter 145 Market

In the following two days, a large number of cultivators gathered from all directions. From the Three Mountains and Seven Caves, about two hundred cultivators came from the ten forces, and no less than three hundred scattered cultivators came from various places. Most of them were Qi Refining cultivators, but there were also about a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Zhang Yuanjing came to participate in this market mainly to find a map. Now that the map was basically settled, he didn't have much interest in the market. After all, this kind of market was a bit low-level for him.

However, since he had accepted the gift from the Huishan Taoist Temple, it was not good to be indifferent. Moreover, on the first day of the market, Daoist Wufeng sent someone to invite him to Huinyun Tower to show support, so he couldn't refuse directly.

On the day before the market opened, he had already conducted a transaction with Motian Cave at Wu Yuanguang's request. Wu Yuanguang also knew that cultivators like him generally didn't care about ordinary things, so he immediately took out Motian Cave's special product—Yinjue Sand.

This substance was scraped from the rocks deep in Motian Cave by the underground Yin wind day and night. Each grain was only the size of a rice grain, and it was cold and creepy, with the effect of contaminating spiritual weapons and damaging body-protecting magic. Especially when the quantity was sufficient, even Core Formation cultivators would not dare to directly confront it.

However, the output of this substance was not large, and only about five taels could be accumulated each year. Zhang Yuanjing had defeated the Iron-Winged Eagle with Qingtian Thunder on his journey to the west and was quite interested in this kind of strange object, thinking that it could make up for the lack of frontal combat ability of spiritual weapons. So he exchanged a three-hundred-year-old Nine-Leaf Huangxi Grass, a complete set of early Enlightenment Realm Flame Beast scales, and the water-attribute flying sword he had previously given to Min Huiye for ten catties of Yinjue Sand.

Entering the first floor of Huinyun Tower, it was crowded with people. As the organizer, Huishan Taoist Temple also exhibited many good things, from spiritual weapons, spiritual talismans, and spiritual medicines to various spiritual materials, strange objects, and spiritual beasts, everything was available. Of course, it was mainly suitable for Qi Refining cultivators.

Daoist Wufeng personally welcomed Zhang Yuanjing to the second floor, where more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators were already waiting. Daoist Wufeng introduced them one by one. Three were his fellow disciples, eight were the principals of the other Two Mountains and Six Caves, and the last one was Wu Yuanguang, so there was no need to introduce him.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries and complimented each other for a few words before standing around a counter and listening to Daoist Wufeng's introduction.

"Fellow Daoists, this area is for spiritual weapons, mainly middle and lower grade, and there are also three high-grade ones. They were all refined by my master in the past ten years, and the quality is absolutely top-notch. If you are interested, you can take them and try them!" When Daoist Wufeng said the words "refined by my master," a look of pride appeared in his eyes, and when he said the words "interested," he looked at Zhang Yuanjing.

Obviously, this person believed that Zhang Yuanjing's trip to the Six Mountains Immortal City was quite dangerous and that he needed to buy more spiritual weapons to enhance his fighting ability.

Zhang Yuanjing smiled slightly and praised, "Your master is truly skilled. These spiritual weapons are of extremely high quality. If I didn't already have handy spiritual weapons, I might have bought a few."

However, among the principals of the other Two Mountains and Seven Caves, more than half showed interest in the three high-grade spiritual weapons, but no one had asked the price yet.

Daoist Wufeng showed a slight disappointment and moved to another counter to introduce, "This area is for pills, including upper, middle, and lower grade Qi Gathering Powder, and pills with five elements attributes are available. In addition, there are several pills that stimulate potential."

This time, several people immediately asked for prices, mainly for Qi Gathering Powder and pills with corresponding attributes.

While Daoist Wufeng was bargaining with several Foundation Establishment cultivators, he spread out his divine sense to explore the other counters on the second floor. He had received favors and came here to show support, so it would definitely be unreasonable if he didn't buy anything. However, he really had too many spiritual weapons, and buying them would be useless. He didn't need to improve his cultivation, so pills were also useless.

Looking around, just as he was feeling bored, a person approached him. It was Pei Yunxiu, the principal of Langshan. This person was a female cultivator in her thirties, with a beautiful face and an otherworldly temperament, especially her eyes, which were like autumn water reflecting the moon, clear and illuminating, making people dare not look directly at them.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, my Langfeng Garden has many good things. Please move to the garden later, and let Yunxiu do her best as a host." Pei Yunxiu lightly parted her red lips and spoke softly, but her tone naturally carried a sense of indifference, making people dare not get close.

Zhang Yuanjing was naturally agreeable and laughed immediately, "I have long admired your garden's reputation, and I will definitely bother you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Zhilin, the principal of Qiongshan, who had been staring at Pei Yunxiu, also walked over and issued an invitation. However, this person was a rough man with a full beard and a voice like a bell, which shook the audience as soon as he opened his mouth, attracting the attention of the others.

Zhang Yuanjing laughed dryly, not wanting to refuse, so he had to nod in agreement.

In their opinion, as a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator, Zhang Yuanjing must have accumulated many good things in his life, and most of them were useless, so he naturally had to find a place to exchange them for items that could be used now. Of course, everyone wanted to do such a big business.

Daoist Wufeng frowned, knowing that his old rival Yuan Zhilin was causing trouble again, trying to take the opportunity to undermine Huinyun Tower's reputation. Seeing that the other principals were also a little tempted, he immediately came up with an idea.

So he said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, it is rare for Fellow Daoist Zhang, who has come from afar, to participate in this gathering. Why not simply hold an auction, where everyone brings their best things to the auction and bids together, wouldn't that be lively!"

"How to auction? Are you going to leave it all to Huinyun Tower?" Yuan Zhilin was not very satisfied with Daoist Wufeng's temporary suggestion and immediately questioned.

Daoist Wufeng thought quickly and had already figured out many details. He felt that this idea was even better and said confidently, "This is easy to handle. The Three Mountains and Seven Caves can auction their own items, and the remaining scattered cultivators can entrust them to my Huinyun Tower for auction. Fellow Daoist Zhang can do as he pleases. What do you think?"

Yuan Zhilin was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "No, no, this is a temporary idea, and it will mess up the market. What things can be entered into the auction? What if everyone keeps the better things for the auction, wouldn't there be a pile of garbage left in this market? So many people ran hundreds of thousands of miles to come here, just to watch? No, no, I, Lao Yuan, don't agree!"

Daoist Wufeng smiled slyly, "Fellow Daoist Yuan, you asked a very good question. So we need to set a rule that all cultivators participating in the auction must be above the Foundation Establishment stage, provide no more than three items, and the value cannot be lower than a bottle of high-grade Qi Gathering Powder. How about that?"

This time, Pei Yunxiu was the first to express her opinion, "Fellow Daoist Wufeng, this is a good idea. My Langfeng Garden has no objection."

Subsequently, six of the seven cave principals also expressed their approval.

Yuan Zhilin was unable to clap with one hand alone, but he was unwilling to admit defeat, so he muttered, "The market is only ten days in total. Before this auction can be organized, I think the market will be over first, it's too late!"

Daoist Wufeng ignored him and looked at Zhang Yuanjing, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Yuanjing was worried about not finding suitable things, so he readily agreed, "I am willing to participate!"

However, although he promised to participate in the auction, he still had to buy a few things from Huinyun Tower.

The Huishan's Core Formation cultivator, Huoyun Shangren, was good at refining pills and weapons, so Huinyun Tower's spiritual weapons and pills were the most distinctive. After looking around, he finally picked two bottles of pills.

One bottle was called Blood Burst Pill, which was a pill to stimulate potential. After taking it, it could increase divine sense and mana by 20% within half an hour. After the effect of the medicine, he would fall into weakness and must rest for half a month to a month to recover. During the weakness period, his strength would only be one-fifth of his original strength, and he could not frequently use mana and divine sense. There were three pills in this bottle.

One bottle was called Swift Steps Powder, which increased the speed of escape by 20% after taking it, lasting for one hour. After the effect of the medicine, he could not fly. For ordinary cultivators, it was a bit useless. However, for Zhang Yuanjing, it was not bad to use it in conjunction with the Earth Escape Technique. There were five pills in this bottle.

In exchange, he took out a complete set of early Enlightenment Realm Flame Beast scales, which made Daoist Wufeng very satisfied and made the others, except for Wu Yuanguang, eager to try.

After leaving Huinyun Tower, Zhang Yuanjing went to Langfeng Garden as agreed. Under Pei Yunxiu's guidance, Zhang Yuanjing walked around the second floor and took a fancy to an item.

Langshan was rich in various spiritual jade, which was of high quality and had a wide range of uses. It was suitable for making sound transmission spiritual jade, formation bases, refining pill vessels, or for refining utensils for storing special items. However, what he wanted more was the map of Langshan leading to the Six Mountains Immortal City.

However, when he made a transaction request, Pei Yunxiu refused, saying that she did not dare to sell it without the consent of her master, Immortal Huohuang. Zhang Yuanjing was helpless and had to exchange a low-grade spiritual weapon for thirty pieces of high-grade spiritual jade.

Yuan Zhilin of Qionghai Pavilion was rough on the outside but meticulous on the inside. He calculated the time and waited outside Langfeng Garden early, leading him to Qionghai Pavilion. Qionghai Pavilion had many demon beast materials, but they basically did not catch Zhang Yuanjing's eye. He directly asked if there were three main ingredients for refining Foundation Establishment Pills: Purple Dragon Ginseng, Silver Pattern Fruit, and Sky Blue Grass.

Yuan Zhilin shook his head like a rattle, "Fellow Daoist, don't joke. Which sect or faction that gets the materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills doesn't hide them tightly? How could they sell them!"

Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but smile dumbly. Thinking about it, these small and medium-sized forces, how could they have extra Foundation Establishment Pill materials to sell? I'm afraid even they don't have enough for themselves.

He asked again, "Are there any materials for Qi Gathering Powder?"

Yuan Zhilin widened his eyes, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you are a Great Perfection cultivator, what do you need Qi Gathering Powder for? I see that you came out alone, and you don't have any juniors to take care of!"

"It's always useful, Fellow Daoist, you don't need to ask more. Just tell me if you have it or not?"

"There is no Nine-Leaf Huangxi Grass. The other auxiliary materials can be sold a little."

"One Snow Fir Fruit, one Earth Flame Grass, and one Golden Sunflower, don't need more."

There were a total of eleven auxiliary materials for Qi Gathering Powder, and he didn't have the most important three.

"Just these? Fellow Daoist, I, Yuan, finally invited you here, please take care of our Qionghai Pavilion's business!" Yuan Zhilin said anxiously with a disappointed look on his face.

"If you have strange objects like Motian Cave's Yinjue Sand, I can trade with you! As for the other things, they are really useless to me." Zhang Yuanjing pointed to the items in the counter in front of him and said with some disdain.

Yuan Zhilin's rough black face stiffened, and after hesitating for a moment, he suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you have any higher-level Flame Beast scales?"

"Of course."

"Late Enlightenment Realm?"

"That depends on what you have!"

Yuan Zhilin smiled triumphantly, "Our Qionghai Pavilion also has strange objects, and they are much stronger than Yinjue Sand."

Saying that, he took out a foot-high fiery red gourd, squeezed his eyes, "This thing is called Fire Crow Spirit, which is extracted from the body of a dying Enlightenment Realm Fire Crow. There are about three hundred of them. They can be released all at once, or they can be released in several times, but they cannot be recovered after being released. And..."

He paused and smiled mysteriously, "If Fellow Daoist goes to the Xuan Yin Cave, this thing is most useful for dealing with Yin Fire Bats. Only two or thirty are needed to destroy a large group of Yin Fire Bats. Several Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivators from the Three Mountains and Seven Caves have asked Yuan to buy them, but Yuan has been reluctant to sell them. This time, for Fellow Daoist's Flame Beast scales, I have to take them out for trading!"

After listening, Zhang Yuanjing's first reaction was a little dazed. If he remembered correctly, Yuan Zhilin's master, the Core Formation cultivator of Qiongshan, was Daoist Huoya. How could a disciple sell the Fire Crow Spirit when his master's name was Huoya? Isn't this taking his own master too seriously! At least he has to change the name of this strange object.

However, since the person himself doesn't care, Zhang Yuanjing certainly wouldn't meddle in other people's business. He pretended to be thinking, scanned the fiery red gourd a few times, and asked seriously, "How to check?"

Yuan Zhilin said, "This is simple, you just watch."

He pointed at the fiery red gourd with a magic formula, and the gourd mouth immediately opened a little, and a cluster of scorching flames spewed out from it, and then turned into a foot-sized fire crow, flapping its wings and flying, spreading flames, and occasionally making a cry, lifelike.

Zhang Yuanjing stood up abruptly, approached to watch, and asked in a deep voice, "Three hundred of these fire crows?"

Yuan Zhilin smiled slyly, "That's right, only more, not less!"

"Deal!"

Zhang Yuanjing immediately took out the late Enlightenment Realm Flame Beast scales and handed them to Yuan Zhilin.

Yuan Zhilin took it over and threw the big gourd to Zhang Yuanjing at the same time, "Refine it with your divine sense, and you can control it smoothly. This gourd is also a treasure, made of ten thousand-year-old Yangzhen wood, and can collect extremely hot and fiery objects!"
