Chapter 517: Encountering a Trading Meeting

Just as he stepped into the Cloud Spirit Pavilion, a young waiter greeted him and said, "Welcome, Senior, to our Cloud Spirit Pavilion; what do you need?"

Lin Zhangqing was a bit disappointed; this place was still quite a bit worse than the Wanbao Pavilion, at least when he visited the Wanbao Pavilion, they would invite him to a private room for tea!

But here there was nothing, but he also understood that not all shops had the strength of the Wanbao Pavilion! So he still asked, "I see your shop's name is Cloud Spirit Pavilion, so do you have high-grade spirit clouds for sale here?"

That young waiter heard this, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, hurriedly explaining, "Senior, you misunderstood!

Although our shop is called Cloud Spirit Pavilion, it is not a place specializing in selling spirit clouds; we don't have the high-grade spirit clouds you just mentioned here! We have collected some ordinary hundred-year-old white clouds used for refining first-grade flying magic tools, White Cloud Boats; I don't know if Senior needs them?"

He shook his head; this kind of ordinary hundred-year-old white cloud had no effect on the Ink Cloud Battle Mount! So Lin Zhangqing was about to turn and leave, when the young waiter said again, "Senior, please wait a moment!"

Lin Zhangqing looked at him strangely and asked, "Do you have anything else? Is it that you are not allowed to leave without buying anything in the shop?"

The young waiter smiled apologetically, "Senior, you are joking! We have never had this rule here! I want to ask if you are interested in participating in a trading meeting for Foundation Establishment cultivators? You might be able to find the high-grade spirit clouds you are looking for there, who knows!"

Lin Zhangqing heard this and was very interested; he had heard about this kind of trading meeting organized spontaneously among cultivators from his grandfather and the clan leader!

But he had never had the opportunity to participate, mainly because without an introduction, it was very difficult to know when and where the trading meeting would be held! And this kind of spontaneously organized trading meeting also had certain risks; if one didn't have powerful means, it was better not to participate!

However, Lin Zhangqing was very confident in his strength, so he had nothing to fear.

So he asked, "Where is the trading meeting you mentioned held? When will it start?"

The young shop waiter heard him ask this and understood that Lin Zhangqing was interested, knowing that he could earn another twenty spirit stones! So he hurriedly answered, "This trading meeting is organized by our boss himself and will be held right here; it will start in about half an hour!

There are already more than sixty Foundation Establishment mid-to-late stage cultivators who know about it; Senior should be able to find some things you are interested in here! However, this trading meeting is not something anyone can participate in; you need to pay a fee of two hundred low-grade spirit stones, and you must also guarantee that you have a certain strength!"

Lin Zhangqing heard this and felt that his luck was not bad; he actually happened to encounter this kind of trading meeting. The fee of two hundred spirit stones was nothing to him.

However, he didn't understand the additional requirement behind it, so he asked directly, "The fee of two hundred spirit stones is no problem.

But what do you mean by requiring participating cultivators to guarantee they have a certain strength?"

The young waiter was overjoyed and explained more respectfully, "That is to require cultivators who want to participate in the trading meeting.

To have at least fifty thousand or more low-grade spirit stones on hand, or possess spirit objects of equivalent value, before they will be allowed to participate, to avoid people coming in to fish in troubled waters!"

The shop waiter said this, and Lin Zhangqing became even more interested, so he said directly, "Alright! I understand! I meet all the conditions you mentioned; I want to participate in this trading meeting, what should I do?"

The shop waiter hurriedly said, "Give me two hundred spirit stones, and show me five hundred thousand spirit stones or corresponding spirit objects!" Lin Zhangqing nodded, then threw two middle-grade spirit stones to him directly, and took out five hundred middle-grade spirit stones to show him.

Afterward, the shop waiter went to ask for instructions, and then brought Lin Zhangqing a set of spirit-isolating robes and a jade token.

And led him to a long room, letting him put on the spirit-isolating robes.

Then he led him to a very spacious hall in the back courtyard and sat down to wait for the trading meeting to begin.

At this time, the shop waiter whispered to Lin Zhangqing, "Senior, pay attention to safety; do not expose your identity at will here! You can leave the trading meeting in advance; when leaving, go to the room just now and leave this spirit-isolating robe! And in that room, there are several doors; you can leave through any one of them!

As long as you place this jade token in the corresponding position on the door, the door will open once, and then it will take half an hour before it can be opened again; this time is enough for Senior to leave!"

After the waiter finished speaking, he exited the hall; Lin Zhangqing felt that this little waiter was quite interesting!

However, seeing him so actively pulling himself to participate in the trading meeting, there must be benefits to be gained, so Lin Zhangqing didn't give him any more rewards.

At this time, he had the time to size up the environment of the hall.

In the very center of this hall, there was a platform half a person high, and around the platform, a large circle of tables and chairs was placed.

He scanned it with his divine sense, and there were about one hundred sets, and at this time, more than twenty cultivators were already sitting on them.

Although everyone was wearing the same spirit-isolating robes, some cultivators were clearly acquaintances or had come together and were chatting there now.

Lin Zhangqing didn't know anyone and didn't want to find anyone to climb up to talk, so he just sat there quietly, waiting for the trading meeting to begin, which could also be considered letting himself rest!

As the start time of the trading meeting approached, more and more cultivators wearing spirit-isolating robes came in and found their own seats.

After all the tables and chairs were full, a middle-aged cultivator who was not wearing spirit-isolating robes came to the edge of the platform in the middle.

He said to everyone, "Thank you, Fellow Daoists, for coming to participate in the trading meeting organized by the Cloud Spirit Pavilion; most of the Fellow Daoists here know me! But there are still some new Fellow Daoists who don't know me, so I will introduce myself again; I am the boss of the Cloud Spirit Pavilion, Xu Zhian.

In the future, if Fellow Daoists have any needs, you can privately come to the Cloud Spirit Pavilion to find me; I will try my best to help every Fellow Daoist achieve your wishes!

Alright, enough small talk, let's get straight to the point.

Everyone understands the rules of the trading meeting, so I won't repeat them! Those Fellow Daoists who don't know, just look at what others do, and you will understand! As the person organizing the trading meeting, I will be the first to throw a brick to attract jade!"
