Chapter 246: White Dragon Pavilion
After entering the market, Song Qingming found that it had become very lively now. It is estimated that it won't be long before the mountain holds the Mount Bai Long grand meeting again. Hu Daozhen and the others should also be here for this grand meeting.
Because Mount Bai Long released news of the Foundation Establishment Pill recently, there were obviously more cultivators at this Mount Bai Long grand meeting than last time. However, most of these people were low-tier Qi Refining cultivators, and not many had the financial resources to purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill. They came here just to broaden their horizons and join in the fun, and by the way, buy a few spiritual items at the Mount Bai Long grand meeting.
There were actually not many people who came directly for the Foundation Establishment Pill like Song Qingming. Compared to the Heavenly Pill Alliance auction, the scale was still a notch lower. It is estimated that this is also because Mount Bai Long is located in a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and there is no way to provide much security for the cultivators here. Many people with enemies are not very dare to come here.
When Song Qingming participated in the Mount Bai Long grand meeting for the first time, he also encountered an attack by unknown robbers when he left here. Fortunately, he was calm enough and prepared enough at that time, so he barely managed to kill the opponent and save his own life. Thinking about it now, it feels like it was just yesterday.
Since he had long known that Mount Bai Long was a dangerous place, Song Qingming didn't intend to stay here for long and strode directly into his target for this trip, the White Dragon Pavilion in the middle of the entire market.
As soon as he entered, Song Qingming saw that although the hall was very spacious, there were not many people inside. Only three sparse groups of people seemed to be purchasing spiritual items, and he felt a bit strange in his heart.
It wasn't until he saw that the things these few people were watching were all spiritual items of the second tier or higher that he understood. So it turns out that these are all spiritual items of the second tier or higher. No wonder no one walked in.
Seeing a Foundation Establishment cultivator walk in, the two sharp-eyed clerks knew that business had come, so they happily surrounded him. Learning that Song Qingming was here for the Foundation Establishment Pill, these two clerks didn't dare to be slow and hurriedly invited him to a private room on the second floor, served fine spiritual tea, and then one of them hurriedly went to find the managers of the White Dragon Pavilion.
When Song Qingming just came in, he observed secretly and found that this White Dragon Pavilion was really not simple. It was not as ordinary as it looked from the outside. The decoration inside was very magnificent. Just the Qingshan stone material used on the ground was not something that ordinary restaurants and shops could afford.
"Hehe! I heard that a Foundation Establishment fellow daoist came to the White Dragon Pavilion today, but the old man didn't expect that you would be so young. I think you must have come from the south."
Suddenly hearing a somewhat old voice, Song Qingming was startled and hurriedly looked up, only to find that besides the two clerks who had been waiting, there was another lean old man with a wisp of white beard at the door. He hurriedly stood up.
"I am Song Qingming, from Qinghe County, Jiangling Prefecture. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Wang!"
This old man was the one with the highest cultivation among the three Foundation Establishment cultivators on Mount Bai Long, Wang Beilun. When Song Qingming participated in the Mount Bai Long grand meeting for the first time, he had already seen this person once under the stage.
Decades passed, and Wang Beilun's cultivation had taken a step further than back then, improving to the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment and becoming a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. This was also why Song Qingming hadn't noticed Wang Beilun even when he reached the door just now.
Compared to early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators have more than double the magic power and spiritual sense. Although Song Qingming's spiritual sense and magic power are stronger than ordinary cultivators, they can at most be compared to the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment, and the gap with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator like Wang Beilun is still very large.
"Fellow Daoist Song, please sit down! The coarse tea and light water are not enough to entertain you, please forgive me! Seeing that you are a bit unfamiliar, is this your first time coming to my Mount Bai Long?"
"Fellow Daoist Wang is too polite. I had the honor to come once decades ago when I hadn't reached Foundation Establishment, but my cultivation was shallow at that time, so I didn't catch your eye."
Wang Beilun looked at Song Qingming again carefully and found that he really didn't recognize him, so he shook his head with a smile and asked: "Did you come for the Foundation Establishment Pill this time?"
"Indeed. I wonder if the rumor outside that the White Dragon Pavilion is going to sell a Foundation Establishment Pill is true?" Hearing the other party turn to the main topic, Song Qingming didn't exchange any more pleasantries and directly stated his purpose for coming here.
"Not long ago, Senior Chen did indeed refine a few Foundation Establishment Pills. The reason why our Mount Bai Long released the news is actually to find some useful spiritual items for Senior Chen. If you have spiritual items of the third tier or higher, you might as well tell me directly. As long as I think it is suitable, I will let Junior Brother Lin report it to the Chen ancestor immediately. You can rest assured about this.
However, whether it can be successful in the end depends on the Chen ancestor. Our White Dragon Pavilion cannot guarantee it for you. After all, he personally examined it this time. Whether it works or not depends on his old man's own decision. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"
After Wang Beilun finished speaking, he half-closed his eyes and looked at Song Qingming, waiting for his reply with peace of mind.
The reason he spoke so cautiously was because since the news of the Foundation Establishment Pill was released this time, the White Dragon Pavilion had already received over a dozen cultivators who came to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Not a single one of the spiritual items they mentioned could catch the Chen ancestor's eye, which made them a bit embarrassed here on Mount Bai Long.
As for a young Foundation Establishment cultivator like Song Qingming, most of them are still running around for a few handy magic tools. Wang Beilun was also a bit uncertain in his heart at this time about what good things he could take out.
"I have a top-quality spirit stone on me, which should be enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill. I hope you can help me convey it." Song Qingming said his thoughts calmly.
"Top-quality spirit stone, I don't know what attribute it is. If it is fire-attribute, I dare to guarantee that the Chen ancestor will definitely be willing to exchange it."
Hearing Song Qingming mention a top-quality spirit stone, Wang Beilun's eyes suddenly shone with light. After so many days, a decent spiritual item finally appeared. As long as it was a fire-attribute spirit stone that happened to fit the attribute of the Chen ancestor's cultivation technique, it was enough for his old man to exchange a Foundation Establishment Pill.
It's just a pity that Song Qingming shook his head at him and said: "The spirit stone in my hand is wood-attribute. Whether it can exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill, I hope you can help me ask first."
"That's fine! Fellow Daoist Song, you wait for me here for a while. If you have any instructions, just call the clerks outside." Seeing that it was not a fire-attribute spirit stone, Wang Beilun's face suddenly showed a hint of regret, nodded at Song Qingming, and went out first.
Half an hour later, Wang Beilun returned here with a smile again. Not far behind him followed a black-clad middle-aged man with a very handsome appearance.
When the two entered the door, Song Qingming actually recognized that this person was the third boss of Mount Bai Long, Lin Yutang.
This person is Chen Jinliang's direct disciple. He came here, it should be because the condition for exchanging the Foundation Establishment Pill he proposed not long ago already had an answer.
After entering the door, the three of them first saluted each other, and then Wang Beilun introduced them to each other, and then Lin Yutang said:
"Fellow Daoist Song, the spiritual item you proposed is indeed enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill. However, my master is still not moved enough by this item. He sent me a message to wait for another half a month. As long as no one takes out something better than yours within half a month, the Foundation Establishment Pill in my hand will be yours. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"
