Chapter 273

When cultivators from Qinghe County go out to travel, most people will choose to come to Guiyun Market. Back then, Song Qingming also spent five or six years here and even joined the market's Feiyun Guard.

However, Song Qingming didn't come to Guiyun Market this time to look for Huang Siyuan. His main purpose was still to sell some talismans and purchase some supplies he needed. After arriving here, he took the opportunity to see if there was any news about her.

Shi Chun had inquired around the market for these few days but didn't find any news about Huang Siyuan. There were at least several thousand rogue cultivators spending their time around Guiyun Market. It was indeed a somewhat difficult thing to find an inconspicuous Qi Condensation cultivator here.

Regarding this result, Song Qingming didn't feel too surprised either. He smiled and nodded at Shi Chun, letting him go back to rest first.

This time coming to Guiyun Market, Shi Chun's help to him was still very great, saving Song Qingming a lot of effort. This time he brought a total of more than sixty second-tier talismans to Guiyun Market, and he had already sold more than half of them in these few days. If things went smoothly, in another few days, Song Qingming should be able to set off to return to Qinghe County.

Two days later in Huanyun Pavilion, seeing Song Qingming arrive on time for the appointment, Fatty Zhan took him to the relatively hidden second floor with a diligent face.

Compared to the inconspicuous sign downstairs and the ordinary furnishings on the first floor, the second floor of Huanyun Pavilion appeared exceptionally gorgeous. As soon as he went up, Song Qingming saw a spacious living room, with carved beams and painted rafters, golden and brilliant, beautiful and magnificent.

In the center of the hall, seven cultivators were already sitting upright. After Song Qingming scanned them, he also saw the two who had greeted him that day.

These people had high and low cultivation, but they were all cultivators above Foundation Establishment. The aura emitted by the one with the highest cultivation was already not inferior to Huang Shengxin.

Seeing Fatty Zhan and Song Qingming walk over, everyone's gaze immediately shifted to the two of them.

"Fellow Daoists, this is Fellow Daoist Song. This is his first time coming to participate in the exchange meeting. Please take care of him a little later."

"Fellow Daoist Song, easy to say... easy to say!"

Hearing Fatty Zhan's introduction, the few sitting stood up one after another and greeted Song Qingming.

Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Song Qingming hurriedly cupped his hands and returned the salute one by one, then sat on the side under Fatty Zhan's arrangement. After waiting for about half an hour, several more cultivators arrived, and the participating cultivators could be considered to have slowly arrived in full.

Among the cultivators who arrived later, Song Qingming unexpectedly saw an acquaintance, Hu Longhai, who had gone to explore the Taiyue Secret Realm with him back then.

Although Hu Longhai had already established a family in Pingyang County, he had spent decades in Guiyun Market, and it was a very normal thing for him to be acquainted with the boss of Huanyun Pavilion. It's just that Song Qingming didn't expect that he would actually rush from Pingyang County to Guiyun Market, thousands of miles away, just to participate in a small exchange meeting.

Although he was acquainted with Hu Longhai, the relationship between the two could only be considered average. They had come together that day for the secret realm trip because of the Huang family's mediation. This time, meeting unexpectedly in Guiyun Market, the two just greeted each other simply like others, without any intention of deep association. To outsiders, it looked as if he and Hu Longhai had just met.

Just as Fatty Zhan was about to announce the start of the exchange meeting, the last cultivator arrived here in a hurry, cupping his hands towards everyone and saying: "I was delayed by something, making everyone wait for a while. I am truly sorry!"

Fatty Zhan coughed and said: "Fellow Daoist Luo, the exchange meeting is about to start. Hurry up and take your seat first!"

After everyone was seated, Fatty Zhan walked to the stage and said: "Fellow Daoists also know that the time for this small-scale exchange meeting of ours is irregular. It is mainly to facilitate everyone to exchange some spiritual items, and by the way, get to know like-minded people, communicate more about cultivation insights, so as to avoid everyone taking too many detours in cultivation and delaying their own path of the Dao.

This exchange meeting is the same as usual. My Huanyun Pavilion only charges for the advance handling fees. Next, no matter what spiritual items everyone takes out, I won't extract commissions here. Everyone being able to come here counts as looking up to me, Zhan. If you need help in the future, you can also come to my Huanyun Pavilion. As long as it is within my power, I will do my best to help. Alright, I won't say too much nonsense here. Let the exchange meeting begin now!"

An exchange meeting organized by Foundation Establishment cultivators naturally would not be dominated by spirit stone trading. If you want to exchange for things here, you need to be able to take out spiritual items that others find new and interesting yourself.

As soon as Fatty Zhan's voice fell, someone couldn't wait. A rogue cultivator surnamed Meng stood up directly and said: "I have something to do later and am in a hurry to leave, so I will be thick-skinned and try to see if I can win the first prize today."

The one speaking was a cultivator at the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment. I saw him reach out and wipe the top of the storage bag at his waist. After a flash of yellow light, a golden jade box appeared in his hand.

"I have a few second-tier top-quality Cuiyun Bamboo in my hand, which can refine second-tier top-quality magic tools. Old friends who have been here several times should know the value of this item. I want to exchange this item for a second-tier mid-quality flying sword. If the price of the magic tool exceeds the spiritual item in my hand, I am also willing to use spirit stones to supplement it. I will definitely not let you suffer a loss."

At first, seeing the Cuiyun Bamboo this person took out, Song Qingming was still somewhat moved. This item could be considered a top-notch product among refining materials. But after hearing this person say he wanted a second-tier mid-quality magic tool, Song Qingming sighed slightly in his heart.

Although the value of this item was not lower than a second-tier mid-quality magic tool, it was still just raw material after all. To refine it into a magic tool, one still needed to ask a second-tier top-quality refiner to take action, and a large sum of money would be needed in between. If the refining failed in the end, it would be a total loss.

For an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, most people would definitely not be willing to use a mid-quality magic tool to gamble on this probability. Only those elite Foundation Establishment cultivators who needed to pursue top-quality second-tier magic tools would want Cuiyun Bamboo more.

It's just a pity that there was no such person here today who pursued top-quality magic tools. The owner of the Cuiyun Bamboo held the jade box and shouted a few times, but in the end, no one responded, so he could only put away the spiritual item and walk down in low spirits.

Next, two more people went on stage. The things taken out this time were relatively ordinary, and they also exchanged for the spiritual items they wanted. However, Song Qingming was not interested in these things and had been sitting in his seat without speaking.

Until the fourth person walked on stage, Song Qingming finally had his eyes light up, seeing the thing he wanted very much.

"This 'Qingxi Brush Talk' is a formation classic written by an old friend of mine for many years. It records dozens of different second-tier formation diagrams. I want to exchange this item for a second-tier Zijin Orchid or a spiritual medicine of equal value."
