Chapter 70: Tianluo Umbrella

After inquiring about the information he wanted, Song Qingming, in order not to cause extra trouble, stayed in his cave dwelling for the next few days, patiently waiting for the arrival of the Mount Bai Long Grand Event.

Until more than ten days later, Song Qingming, who was cultivating in the cave dwelling, suddenly felt a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy on the entire Mount Bai Long.

Seeing this situation, Song Qingming hurriedly withdrew his spiritual power outside his body, stopped cultivating, and walked out of the cave dwelling.

As soon as he arrived outside the cave dwelling, Song Qingming saw that the cultivators living in the few cave dwellings nearby had all run out, looking at the sky above Mount Bai Long in unison.

Song Qingming followed everyone's gaze and saw a huge semicircular purple light shield appearing in the sky, covering the entire Mount Bai Long in the light shield.

"What's going on? What happened? Why was the mountain protection formation suddenly activated?" A middle-aged cultivator in purple saw the light shield in the sky and instantly knew that this was the mountain protection formation of Mount Bai Long, and said somewhat puzzled.

"This fellow daoist, it seems you are participating in the Mount Bai Long Grand Event for the first time. Activating the mountain protection formation actually represents that the Mount Bai Long Grand Event has already begun at this moment. Fellow daoists, hurry to the marketplace. Don't delay time and miss the spirit items you want."

Another slightly older cultivator in white explained with his hands behind his back, then left the crowd and walked quickly toward the marketplace.

Soon, including Song Qingming, quite a few people followed this person and went toward the marketplace.

Along the way, Song Qingming saw that he had not walked out of the cave dwelling for more than ten days, and there were quite a few more cultivators outside.

After arriving in the marketplace, the place had completely changed its appearance compared to more than ten days ago. Rows of shops had all closed their doors, and the cultivators on the street followed the flow of people and walked toward a huge open space of several hundred zhang in the east of the marketplace.

This open space was very large. Zhao Zhao Jibai of tables were arranged in a circle around the open space, with quite a few various spirit items placed on them. There was also a high platform in the middle of the venue, and two cultivators were sitting in the middle of the high platform, with hundreds of various spirit items full of spiritual energy placed on the platform.

The spirit items on the circle formed by the hundreds of tables below were all placed by various shops in the marketplace. For this Mount Bai Long Grand Event, these shops also took out the treasures of their shops.

And the spirit items on the high platform in the middle were the spirit items taken out by the owner of the Mount Bai Long marketplace, the Bai Long Pavilion. The two people sitting on the high platform were precisely the two Foundation Establishment cultivators of Mount Bai Long.

These two people, one had white hair and beard, and looked like he was not young. The other looked relatively young, wearing a crown of jade and a brocade robe, with the appearance of a family young master.

These two were both mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. The older one was named Wang Beiyue, a Foundation Establishment loose cultivator who was already one hundred and sixty years old. Although this person's cultivation was not very high among Foundation Establishment cultivators, he had been at Foundation Establishment for more than a hundred years, and his fighting experience was very rich.

The other young cultivator was named Lin Yutang. Although he was the one with the lowest cultivation among the three Foundation Establishment cultivators of Mount Bai Long, his divine abilities were not much lower than veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators like Wang Beiyue.

The most important thing was that Lin Yutang also had a Golden Core stage master behind him. This point was not comparable to the other two loose cultivators. When the several Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Mount Bai Long marketplace discussed things, they often still took this person as the leader.

After Song Qingming arrived here, hundreds of cultivators had already gathered here in the square, and quite a few cultivators were still anxiously rushing here one after another around.

After another half an hour or so, the absolute majority of cultivators who had arrived at the Mount Bai Long marketplace had almost gathered here. At this time, the venue of the entire venue was already full of cultivators.

Some cultivators had already begun to surround the outer marketplace merchants to purchase the spirit items they liked. Song Qingming also found a position where the flow of people was slightly less and began to wander around.

This Mount Bai Long Grand Event really had quite a few good things. Song Qingming had only wandered around a dozen tables and had already harvested quite a few types of talisman-making materials that were difficult to purchase in ordinary marketplaces.

Ordinary talisman-making materials in Guiyunfang were not difficult to purchase, but materials for making rare spirit talismans depended on luck. Song Qingming had just purchased two types of materials, and he had not been able to find them in Guiyunfang for more than a year. Unexpectedly, he found them here.

"Fellow daoist really has some vision. My family is the most famous weapon refining shop in Mount Bai Long. These top-grade magic treasures are all the proud works of the masters in our shop. We also specifically kept them until this Mount Bai Long Grand Event to take them out."

After wandering around for half a circle, Song Qingming saw several top-grade magic treasures with good appearance on a table, so he stopped and looked at them carefully.

After becoming a weapon refiner, Song Qingming also understood various magic treasures better than before. The several magic treasures in front of him looked unusual, as if they were made by an old master who had refined weapons for many years.

After watching for a while, Song Qingming pointed to a magic treasure on the table and asked the boss dressed as a Confucian scholar:

"Fellow daoist, can you help introduce this magic treasure?"

"This defensive magic treasure is called the Tianluo Umbrella. It is a top-grade defensive magic treasure refined from top-grade gold glazed jade. Its defensive ability is very outstanding. There is a hidden mechanism on the umbrella. If you encounter a critical moment, you can also unexpectedly release a few flying needles to injure the enemy. It is a rare magic treasure that is both offensive and defensive. If fellow daoist likes it, you must hurry. Several people have already asked about this magic treasure just now."

Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to be interested in this magic treasure, the stall owner hurriedly introduced the magic treasure in his hand, looking at the change in Song Qingming's expression carefully while speaking.

After listening, Song Qingming asked calmly again.

"I don't know if this magic treasure has any other defects. I am also a weapon refiner, so please tell me directly, boss, don't beat around the bush."

After hearing Song Qingming's words, the boss smiled awkwardly and replied: "This magic treasure actually doesn't have any obvious weaknesses, it's just that it consumes more spiritual power than ordinary magic treasures when used."

After listening to the Confucian boss's explanation, Song Qingming finally understood. No wonder this magic treasure had not been sold after several people asked about it. It turned out to be the reason.

General cultivators did not like magic treasures that consumed more spiritual power. It was mainly because this type of magic treasure would be more powerful, but it was not conducive to long-term combat and was easy to drag the cultivator's legs.

Except for a small number of cultivators who practiced special cultivation techniques and had more vigorous spiritual power than ordinary cultivators, few cultivators would choose to purchase this type of magic treasure. It was really unexpected that this magic treasure was quite suitable for him.

After listening, Song Qingming nodded and continued to ask: "How many spirit stones does this magic treasure need? Please tell me directly, fellow daoist."

"Since fellow daoist is also a person who understands the trade, I won't say those nonsense words. Our Wushan Pavilion also wants to make a friend with fellow daoist. Let's count this magic treasure as one hundred and fifty spirit stones for fellow daoist."

Hearing the price reported by the boss of Wushan Pavilion, Song Qingming knew that this price could be considered very affordable, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. He handed over one hundred and fifty spirit stones and took down this magic treasure.

Relying on his cultivation without lack of resources these past few years, Song Qingming's spiritual power had already approached the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Refining these past few years and was almost able to use top-grade magic treasures. Since he saw a suitable magic treasure when he came to Mount Bai Long this time, he would naturally not miss it.

The defensive ability of this Tianluo Umbrella was still quite good, much more powerful than the Wujin Shield on Song Qingming's body. The fact that it consumed more spiritual power was not a big problem for Song Qingming, who practiced the Yuxuan Sutra. It could be considered a magic treasure that was relatively suitable for him.
