Chapter 274

Hearing that this classic recorded dozens of formation diagrams, Song Qingming was instantly moved by this item in his heart.

However, although he was already very restless in his heart, Song Qingming still didn't show too much anxiety on his face. So many years of cultivation had also taught him how to control his emotions well.

In such a place, once you show too much anxiety, the other party is very likely to find some excuses to sit on the ground and raise the price.

Song Qingming patiently watched. Among the cultivators present, there were still a few who kept looking at the formation classic in the old man's hand, seemingly having some interest like him. Soon, a voice sounded in the living room.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, last time I wanted to use the Frost Flower in my hand to exchange with you. Why don't you consider it again?" A middle-aged man sitting on the side of Song Qingming shouted loudly at the white-haired old man.

The old man looked at the big man with some disgust, shook his head firmly and said: "If you really want it, at least you have to supplement some spirit stones. Don't just think about taking advantage of me."

The middle-aged man smiled when he heard this, waved his hand, and didn't speak again.

Seeing that the two of them didn't reach an agreement, Song Qingming immediately opened his mouth and said: "Fellow Daoist Gu, I happen to have a Zijin Orchid on me. See if it can be exchanged for this classic of yours."

The old man surnamed Gu, who was just a bit disappointed, hurriedly took the jade box Song Qingming handed over as soon as he heard someone say they had the spiritual medicine he wanted, opened it, and looked at it carefully.

"Hehe! Not bad, this spiritual medicine is exactly what I want. Little brother, this 'Qingxi Brush Talk' belongs to you. The classic records the hard work of my old friend for many years, so don't let him down."

Seeing the purple spiritual medicine full of spiritual energy in the jade box, the old man surnamed Gu immediately smiled happily in his heart and personally sent the formation classic in his hand to Song Qingming's hand.

After putting away this formation classic, Song Qingming had just sat back in his seat when he discovered that a cold gaze had suddenly shot over from the side. It was exactly the middle-aged man who had been rejected when he wanted to exchange with the old man just now.

Not only did Song Qingming feel it, but the old man who traded with him also felt the big man's unkind actions. He said with a heavy face: "Xiang Conghu, I advise you not to think too much. Since the 'Qingxi Brush Talk' has already been given to Fellow Daoist Song, if you make things difficult for him in Guiyun Market, that is slapping my face. Don't blame me for not reminding you then!"

As soon as he heard the old man surnamed Gu say this, Xiang Conghu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly accompanied with a smiling face and said: "Brother Gu is joking. Everyone who comes to participate in the exchange meeting is a friend. How could I make things difficult for others for a formation classic? You are looking down on me too much."

Xiang Conghu's cultivation was a bit higher than Song Qingming's, having already reached the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment. But the old man surnamed Gu's cultivation was a level higher than the others. This person's cultivation realm had already broken through to the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment, and he was also one of the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators present. It was precisely because he had this strength that he didn't put Xiang Conghu in his eyes and dared to speak harsh words to him directly in front of everyone.

Hearing the words of the old man surnamed Gu, as the organizing party of this exchange meeting, Fatty Zhan naturally also knew what had just happened. He hurriedly leaned over and whispered to Song Qingming: "Fellow Daoist Song, don't worry. If anyone looks for trouble with you because of this matter, you can just come to Huanyun Pavilion to find me."

Regarding Xiang Conghu's little threat, Song Qingming actually didn't care too much. He was going to leave Guiyun Market soon anyway. Even if Xiang Conghu wanted to look for trouble with him in the future, it would be unlikely, unless this guy dared to go to Qinghe County to find him.

After this deal ended, Song Qingming didn't see any spiritual items suitable for him next. Until it was finally his turn to go on stage, he took out two second-tier low-quality talismans to exchange for several spiritual fruits that could increase his cultivation a little bit.

What made Song Qingming somewhat surprised was that this guy Hu Longhai actually took out a second-tier puppet beast this time, wanting to exchange...

At the exchange meeting, all cultivators went up to exchange spiritual items, and most people also obtained the things they wanted. Finally, this exchange meeting ended with Fatty Zhan's shouting.

After Song Qingming returned to the rented cave dwelling, he couldn't wait to take out the 'Qingxi Brush Talk' and concentrate on savoring this rare formation classic.

In these years, Song Qingming's formation skills seemed to have encountered a huge bottleneck. No matter how hard he tried to refine second-tier formations, he couldn't get started. By now, he had already failed more than a dozen times and had never been able to take a step forward.

This also made him have a great sense of pessimism about his own formation path, always feeling that his talent might still be too poor.

Although Song Qingming hadn't taken action to refine second-tier formations in these years, he still hadn't completely given up on this skill of his. Today, as soon as he saw the 'Qingxi Brush Talk', Song Qingming instantly made up his mind that he must find a way to obtain this item.

Among the formation classics left by the Liu family back then, most were first-tier formations, and there were only a few records about second-tier formations, which didn't help Song Qingming.

Back when he was in Guiyun Market, Song Qingming had also exchanged for many classics about formations in the Treasury Pavilion, but without exception, these were all first-tier formations, which basically had no help to him now. Whether it was Guiyun Market or Yangshan Market at the foot of the Xiaoyao Sect, or other markets, there were no handbooks about second-tier formations for sale.

Having finally encountered it today, Song Qingming naturally cherished this classic exceptionally. Just like that, he closed himself in the cave dwelling to study for several days before walking out of the cave dwelling with satisfaction.

Seeing from afar that Shi Chun was quietly meditating, Song Qingming didn't force himself to disturb him and left his residence alone to come to Guiyun Market.

In these days, seven or eight out of ten of the second-tier talismans in his hand had been sold, and the spirit stones in his hand naturally increased accordingly. Taking advantage of the fact that he was just in Guiyun Market, Song Qingming planned to go to the market to take a look and purchase materials for refining formations by the way.

If he didn't take the opportunity to get some materials for refining second-tier formations at this time, it wouldn't be so easy to find these things after returning to Qinghe County.

With the 'Qingxi Brush Talk' in hand, after studying for so many days, Song Qingming already had great confidence that he could break through to become a second-tier formation master. Sure enough, the spirit stones were not spent in vain. If it weren't for the help of this thing, he didn't know in what year or month he would have such great confidence to break through his formation level again.

After Song Qingming returned satisfied, Shi Chun had also ended his day's cultivation and was waiting for him at the entrance of the cave dwelling.

"Pack up your things, let's go back tomorrow!" Hearing the specific time for returning to Qinghe County spoken by Song Qingming, Shi Chun was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
