Chapter 71: Meeting an Old Friend

After putting away the Tianluo Umbrella, Song Qingming handed one hundred and fifty spirit stones to the stall owner, then looked at the stall with the Bai Long Pavilion sign hanging in the middle of the venue, and asked the boss again: "Boss, may I trouble you to ask, when will the spirit items in the middle of the venue start to be sold?"

After receiving the spirit stones, the Confucian boss felt very happy. Hearing this, he could not help but reveal a knowing smile: "Fellow daoist, don't be impatient. The Mount Bai Long Grand Event lasts for three days in total. The Bai Long Pavilion side generally has to wait until the afternoon, after all the Foundation Establishment cultivators they invited have arrived, before they will start selling spirit items. At that time, after the Bai Long Pavilion side finishes notifying, fellow daoist can go over."

Hearing this, Song Qingming nodded thoughtfully: "I am also here for the first time. A good friend asked me to help her buy a Qingyu Pill. This is not seeing it after looking for a long time, and I don't know if the Bai Long Pavilion side will have it."

"Fellow daoist is talking about the second-grade low-quality Qingyu Pill, right? You can rest assured about this. Every grand event, the Bai Long Pavilion will release quite a few. You don't have to be too impatient about this point. This grand event, the Bai Long Pavilion invited quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators. I think there will certainly be quite a few good things for sale. Fellow daoist's vision is so sharp, you will certainly be able to find the spirit items you need as you wish. I will congratulate fellow daoist here first for getting what you wish."

Hearing the Confucian boss say this, Song Qingming's somewhat anxious heart slowly relaxed quite a bit. Although this time it was not his own business to help Xu Ziyan purchase the Qingyu Pill, since he had already promised her, he would naturally do his best under the circumstances he could do.

After leaving this stall, Song Qingming continued to wander forward.

After a circle, Song Qingming not only harvested quite a few spirit items but also increased quite a bit of knowledge and saw many rare spirit items he had never seen before.

There would still be some differences between the things seen in various classics and the true appearance of spirit items. If it weren't for the limited spirit stones on his body, Song Qingming really wanted to wander around a few more times and purchase more spirit item materials to go back and exercise his talisman-making and weapon-refining skills.

Soon it was afternoon, and the Bai Long Pavilion Foundation Establishment cultivator Lin Yutang, who was sitting in the middle of the venue, slowly stood up, walked to the front of the high platform, and began to shout to everyone participating in the grand event with a smile:

"Thank you all for giving face to participate in my Mount Bai Long trading grand event. This time, in order to welcome the arrival of fellow daoists, the Bai Long Pavilion has also carefully prepared hundreds of types of spirit items. Fellow daoists who want to purchase spirit items can all come over now. Everyone, rest assured, no matter who buys spirit items in the Mount Bai Long Grand Event, if there is a problem, you can directly come here to find me. I, Lin Yutang, will certainly preside over justice for everyone."

After one shout after another, hearing that the Bai Long Pavilion started selling spirit items, quite a few cultivators had already surged toward the center position. Song Qingming was also afraid that he would not be able to buy the elixirs he wanted, so he seized the time to follow the flow of people and walked toward the center, and soon he found the place where the Bai Long Pavilion sold elixirs.

On the wooden table where the Bai Long Pavilion sold elixirs, there were no elixirs placed on it, only wooden signs of various sizes were full, and the names of various elixirs and the prices for sale were written on the wooden signs.

Song Qingming looked at them one by one carefully, and soon saw his target for this trip, the Qingyu Pill, in a position close to the middle.

"Qingyu Pill, two hundred and eighty spirit stones each,"

It was really unexpected that the price of elixirs here could be considered relatively affordable, and it was actually a bit cheaper than in Guiyunfang.

After finding the Qingyu Pill, Song Qingming hurriedly asked the Bai Long Pavilion cultivator selling elixirs softly: "Fellow daoist, may I trouble you to give me a Qingyu Pill."

A woman in blue heard this and hurriedly took out a bottle of elixirs from behind the table.

After getting the elixirs, Song Qingming opened it to check, and after confirming that there was no problem with this Qingyu Pill, he counted two hundred and eighty spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to this Bai Long Pavilion cultivator.

Seeing Song Qingming calmly counting several hundred spirit stones from his storage bag in one breath, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of this woman in blue. Seeing Song Qingming put away the elixirs and was about to leave, she hurriedly shouted loudly:

"This fellow daoist, our Bai Long Pavilion not only has high-quality elixirs but also has many precious spirit items, which are much cheaper than on weekdays. Would you like to see other things?"

After listening, Song Qingming looked at her calmly and asked directly: "May I ask if there are Foundation Establishment pills here?"

"Foundation Establishment pills, hehe, fellow daoist, don't joke. This naturally doesn't exist." Hearing Song Qingming ask about Foundation Establishment pills, the woman in blue was stunned for a moment, and then explained somewhat awkwardly.

"Then do you have any spirit items here that can enhance a cultivator's soul?" After thinking for a while, Song Qingming could not help but ask again.

"Enhance a cultivator's soul? There really isn't such a thing. However, our Bai Long Pavilion has a unique spirit incense that has some auxiliary effects on practicing soul-type cultivation techniques and can help cultivators practice soul-type cultivation techniques faster. Anyway, it's very cheap. Would you like to buy some and go back to try it, fellow daoist?"

After the woman in blue finished speaking, she let Song Qingming wait for a while, then hurriedly ran to a table selling various sundries and brought back two bundles of spirit incense and placed them in Song Qingming's hands.

Although Song Qingming did not have cultivation techniques to enhance the soul in his hands now, ever since he obtained that Thunder Tiger puppet beast, he was now very interested in things that could enhance a cultivator's soul. Seeing that the price of this spirit incense was not expensive, one bundle only needed five spirit stones, Song Qingming still bought two bundles. After he found a method to enhance the soul in the future, this spirit incense might be of some use to him later.

Seeing that his purpose for coming to Mount Bai Long had basically been fully achieved, and he had harvested quite a bit today and spent quite a few spirit stones, Song Qingming prepared to return to the cave dwelling first and wander around again tomorrow.

Seeing that the woman in blue still wanted to recommend other elixirs she was selling to him, Song Qingming hurriedly shook his head and turned to leave here.

"Fellow Daoist Song San"

After Song Qingming left the Bai Long Pavilion stall, he passed through the dense crowd. Just as he walked to the edge of the venue, he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him, so he hurriedly turned his head and looked.

"Fellow Daoist Song, I didn't expect it to really be you."

As soon as the words fell, a Confucian scholar in green shirt walked over unhurriedly. After arriving in front of Song Qingming, this person hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed.

Seeing the person coming, Song Qingming could not help but reveal a smile at the corner of his mouth, cupped his hands at the person, and returned the salute.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, I also didn't expect that I would run into you here. We haven't met for several years. I don't know if the other few fellow daoists are safe."

The person coming was precisely the independent cultivator Shi Chun whom Song Qingming met when he first went to the Fuyun Mountain Range a few years ago. Back then, Song Qingming got lost in the Fuyun Mountain Range, and it was thanks to meeting Shi Chun and the others who took him back to Guiyunfang.

It had been almost five years since the two last met in the Fuyun Mountain Range. Shi Chun's cultivation, like Song Qingming's, had also broken through to the sixth layer of Qi Refining.

Shi Chun looked at Song Qingming and said with a smile: "Sigh, we few are still the same as before these few years. On the contrary, Fellow Daoist Song, we haven't met for a few years, and your cultivation has progressed quite a bit, which makes us very envious."

"Fellow Daoist Shi, it's too noisy here with so many people. I think it's better to gather in the cave dwelling I rented, how about it?"

"Very well."
