Chapter 808: Heavenly Heart City, Selling Spiritual Items (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In the entire "Huayang World" where human cultivators are located, including the "Donghuangxianzhou" continent where the Floating Cloud Mountain Range is located, there are five continents and four seas, totaling nine large immortal cultivation worlds.
These large immortal cultivation worlds are basically the same as "Donghuangxianzhou," and within them, there are not only human cultivators but also numerous living beings such as demon races and devil cultivators.
It’s just that in some large immortal cultivation worlds, human cultivators occupy the overall advantage, ruling most of the territory and multiplying.
Some immortal cultivation worlds are ruled by powerful demon races, and human cultivators are driven to a corner of the continent, only able to barely occupy a small piece of territory to survive.
Others are places ruled by numerous devil cultivators, which have become the lairs of numerous high-level devil cultivators in this immortal cultivation world. Neither human cultivators nor demon cultivators dare to step into them easily.
The "Thunder Origin Sea" immortal cultivation world where Song Qingming and the others are located is also a place where human and demon races live together. Human cultivators and demon races are at odds with each other and often compete for territory.
It’s just that compared to "Donghuangxianzhou," the human cultivator power in the Thunder Origin Sea is significantly stronger, and many powerful sects among them even have Nascent Soul cultivators sitting in command.
Whether it is high-level combat power or low-level cultivators, human cultivators are not weaker than the demon race side, occupying more than 70% of the island territory in the "Thunder Origin Sea" immortal cultivation world.
Except for the vast outer sea outside, where it is difficult for human cultivators to step and survive, most of the sea areas in the inner sea of the "Thunder Origin Sea" immortal cultivation world are occupied by human cultivators with absolute advantage.
The demon emperors above the Nascent Soul stage in the inner sea basically hide in the sea areas they rule and dare not enter the sea areas controlled by human cultivators at will.
This is also why, after the treasure ship that Song Qingming and the others were riding entered the "Thunder Origin Sea" immortal cultivation world, the demon beasts in the sea area below were significantly reduced.
After the treasure ship entered the "Thunder Origin Sea" immortal cultivation world, the first island they docked at, "Chongyuan Island," was the territory controlled by a very powerful Nascent Soul sect nearby.
"Chongyuan Island" not only has powerful Nascent Soul cultivators sitting in command but also has a fourth-grade mid-grade array to protect it. Ordinary demon beasts dare not approach this island at all.
Almost all treasure ships coming from "Donghuangxianzhou," after entering the "Thunder Origin Sea" immortal cultivation world, will choose to dock here to rest, and then head to their respective destinations.
The treasure ship had just passed through the protective array of "Chongyuan Island" and docked at the port. Everyone who hadn't been on land for more than half a year immediately couldn't help but jump off the ship.
However, because it was their first time here, most of the people on the ship had not had their information confirmed by the other party and were not allowed to go ashore.
Song Qingming and the others could only walk around near the port until the treasure ship had replenished the supplies needed for sailing, and then everyone boarded the ship to continue forward. — One month later, in a sea area in the middle of the "Thunder Origin Sea."
An island that could not be seen to the end, with the size of two or three Wei Guo, stood on the sea, like a continent compared to the surrounding islands.
Around this huge island, many large treasure ships coming and going were constantly sailing on the sea surface. The destination of most of their ships was the port in the southeast corner of the island.
And at the port welcoming the coming and going ships, thousands of treasure ships of all sizes were already docked, and the port area was also full of cultivators coming and going.
Most of them were queuing up, preparing to enter the island to attend the trade fair held once every hundred years in the "Thunder Origin Sea" immortal cultivation world.
Soon, another huge foreign treasure ship docked at the port, attracting the curious eyes of the cultivators queuing around.
"Looking at the appearance of this treasure ship, it doesn't look like it was refined in our Thunder Origin Sea. It is estimated that it came from the outer sea again. It seems that there are more foreign cultivators coming to this trade fair than last time!"
In front of the port, an old man in a yellow robe with a goat beard looked at the high-level treasure ship that had docked and immediately said to a middle-aged woman traveling with him.
The woman in white smiled lightly and said: "Fellow Daoist Chen is right. Last time, because of the sudden appearance of a thundercloud hurricane in the outer sea, many fellow Daoists from many places were blocked in the outer sea and couldn't come, missing an opportunity. This time, they probably don't want to miss it again.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many foreign fellow Daoists rushing here three months before the trade fair.
It’s just that it has kept us busy. For more than half a year, we have been guarding this port every day and haven't been able to cultivate properly. I don't know when the sect will be able to send someone to replace us for a while."
Hearing the complaint of the woman in white, the old man in the yellow robe nodded with a smile and said: "You and I are both people who manage trivial matters for the sect. This kind of errand is naturally our duty. Others can't stand the bitter work of smiling every day.
However, rest assured, for this trade fair held once every hundred years, our major sects will certainly be able to earn quite a few spirit stones. By then, even if you and I have no credit, we have worked hard, and there will always be a reward for our labor."
"Haha... I hope so, borrowing your auspicious words! People are here, we should go and welcome them!"
Seeing the high-level treasure ship that had docked, and cultivators already walking down from it, the woman in white and the old man in the yellow robe hurriedly changed into smiling faces and greeted them.
"Welcome, fellow Daoists, to Heavenly Heart Island. May I ask where you come from?"
A Golden Core cultivator who had just walked off the treasure ship saw the two and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and return the salute: "We are all from Donghuangxianzhou and have come specially to participate in the Heavenly Heart Conference on your island.
This is the invitation letter issued by your island back then. Please check it."
After glancing at the invitation letter handed over by the visitor, the old man in the yellow robe nodded hurriedly and then said: "Oh! So it is a fellow Daoist from Donghuangxianzhou. We are really a bit rude.
It is hard for you fellow Daoists to come from afar and give our Heavenly Heart Island such a big face. Please follow me into the island first!"
After confirming the other party’s identity, the old man in the yellow robe hurriedly took the initiative to help lead the way, bringing Song Qingming and the others who had walked off the treasure ship onto the island.
It’s just that after the old man in the yellow robe went ashore, he did not choose to take everyone to the entrance where the cultivators in front of the port were queuing to enter the island, but led everyone to a teleportation array located next to the port.
With a dazzling white light shining, when Song Qingming and the others opened their eyes again, everyone had been teleported to the foot of a high mountain in the middle of the island.
Next to this high mountain, there was also a huge city with a radius of tens of miles, and its size was not much different from "Xianyuan City," which Song Qingming had visited back then.
Seeing the huge magic array covering the entire city in the mid-air not far away, Song Yuanqian and the others, who were seeing such a large city for the first time, were immediately shocked, and couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.
Through the introduction of the old man in the yellow robe walking in front, everyone learned that the city in front of them was called "Heavenly Heart City," and it was also the core place where the "Heavenly Heart Island" trade fair was held this time.
This trade fair, which shocked the entire "Thunder Origin Sea" immortal cultivation world, would be held in "Heavenly Heart City" almost every hundred years or so.
Now, there are about three months left before the start of the conference, and everyone can first go to "Heavenly Heart City" to rent a cave dwelling to stay and wait for the opening of the trade fair.
After the old man in the yellow robe led everyone here, a middle-aged man who also had Golden Core cultivation soon greeted them.
After the two made a handover, the middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward to salute the few Nascent Soul cultivators including Bai Yuxian, and then brought Song Qingming and the others into "Heavenly Heart City."
Because there were cultivators helping to lead the way throughout the process, everyone entered "Heavenly Heart City" very smoothly and soon rented cave dwellings with the help of the leading cultivators.
This time, because they came by treasure ship, for fear of any accidents on the road that would delay their participation in the "Heavenly Heart City" trade fair, Song Qingming and the others arrived here a few months in advance.
Even so, after entering the city, Song Qingming immediately felt that the entire "Heavenly Heart City" was already full of cultivators who had rushed here from other places.
Among them, there were many cultivators like Song Qingming and the others who came from other parts of the "Donghuangxianzhou" immortal cultivation world.
After arranging their accommodation, Song Qingming immediately let Song Yuanqian and the others go out to inquire about places where magic treasures and spiritual items could be traded.
He wanted to deal with the numerous spiritual items brought with him in advance and exchange them all for spirit stones, so as to facilitate the purchase of things he wanted at the upcoming "Heavenly Heart City" trade fair.
As a super-large city not smaller than "Xianyuan City," "Heavenly Heart City" had at least tens of thousands of cultivators living in it.
In such a super-large city, the shops opened inside are naturally not comparable to ordinary markets. As long as you can afford the spirit stones, spiritual items useful to Golden Core and even Nascent Soul cultivators can be found.
However, Song Yuanqian and the others were visiting "Heavenly Heart City" for the first time and were not familiar with the situation here. Just learning the language here to communicate with others took them a lot of time.
They visited several shops in succession, wanting to sell the spiritual medicines they brought, but when the other party saw that they had brought too many things, they all complained and couldn't take out too many spirit stones to acquire them.
Song Yuanqian and the others were busy for several days in a row before they sold less than 20% of the spiritual items they carried.
Finally, after inquiring, they learned that it was because the trade fair was being held recently, and many cultivators had the same idea as Song Qingming, bringing numerous spiritual items to "Heavenly Heart City."
Therefore, many merchants in the city now have too many spiritual items from other places, and their inventory of spirit stones is not much.
And those cultivators who brought spirit stones are preparing for the upcoming "Heavenly Heart City" trade fair, and they don't dare to spend their spirit stones at will, which also made Song Qingming and the others feel a bit of a headache.
However, compared to the things Song Qingming brought, the "Profound Heaven Sect" brought ten times more spiritual items to participate in the trade fair this time. The sect certainly wants to sell these things in "Heavenly Heart City." After all, there are so many shops in "Heavenly Heart City," and there must be many merchants who can take out spirit stones, but Song Qingming and the others were visiting here for the first time and their news was not well-informed, so they encountered this trouble.
But now that more and more cultivators are pouring into the city, if they don't sell them quickly, it might become more and more difficult to exchange for spirit stones in the future.
Just when Song Qingming was hesitating whether to go to Chu Fengping and the others to inquire about the news, Song Yuanhao hurriedly brought him a piece of good news, allowing Song Qingming to find a way to sell spiritual items.
Half a day later, Song Qingming took Song Yuanhao and the others to a shop called "Qingxin Pavilion" in the southeast corner of "Heavenly Heart City."
"Seventh Great-Uncle, the place Zhang Yurong told me about is here. I have already inquired in the vicinity. This shop is an industry of a Nascent Soul sect on the island.
If I am not mistaken, the spiritual items in Senior Zhang’s hand should have been sold here."
Ever since they received the tacit approval of the elders of both families, Zhang Yurong, who seemed to have a trace of admiration for Song Yuanhao, often came to find him to drink tea and chat.
Although Song Yuanhao didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Yurong in his heart, because of Song Qingming’s special instructions before, he couldn't refuse the other party often. Today, the two of them strolled around the city for a while at Zhang Yurong’s active invitation.
During this period, learning that Song Yuanhao and the others had been busy looking for shops everywhere, Zhang Yurong took the initiative to reveal the news about "Qingxin Pavilion" to him, letting him come here to try his luck.
Although Zhang Yurong didn't say it directly, Song Yuanhao immediately guessed that this shop should be the place where Zhang Tieyang found and sold spiritual items.
After hearing Song Yuanhao’s explanation, Song Qingming nodded slightly, turned to Song Yuanqian on the side, and said: "Yuanqian, you and Yuanhao go in first to see the situation. I will wait for you at the tea house next door.
You must remember, don't reveal your identity, and don't talk too much with them. After the things are sold, come out to see me immediately."
"Seventh Great-Uncle, rest assured, we understand what to do."
Seeing Song Yuanqian and the other respond, they walked directly into "Qingxin Pavilion," Song Qingming immediately turned and left the spot, and found a seat in the tea house next door.
Soon, after less than a quarter of an hour, Song Yuanhao and Song Yuanqian walked out of "Qingxin Pavilion" with happy faces and came to Song Qingming in the private room of the tea house next door.
"Seventh Great-Uncle! Except for those spiritual medicines with some quality problems, the spiritual items in my hand have been successfully sold. These are the spirit stones given by the other party.
Although the price given by this shop is not very high, the spirit stones were given quickly. I think they should be able to eat the remaining things."
Picking up the spirit stone bag handed over by Song Yuanqian and glancing at it carefully, finding that there were no special traces on the things inside, Song Qingming’s mouth also showed a trace of a smile.
Afterward, he said to the two in front of him: "Okay, I know. You two go back first! Remember, don't go out these few days, and remind Linrui and the other two. After all, this is not Wei Guo, everyone should be careful about everything."
"Seventh Great-Uncle, rest assured, we have noted it down."
After Song Yuanqian and the other left, Song Qingming did not rush to leave, but continued to sit in the private room and continue to drink tea.
Until the sky outside gradually darkened, Song Qingming dropped two spirit stones and walked out of the tea house.
Not long after, Song Qingming, whose appearance had changed a bit after strolling around the street again, appeared outside "Qingxin Pavilion" and walked inside with large strides.
"This guest, are you here to buy some spiritual items, or to customize some magic tools?"
Seeing Song Qingming come in, a waiter on the side wanted to step forward to greet him, but before he could walk to Song Qingming, an older Foundation Establishment old man reached out and stopped him.
After the Foundation Establishment old man gave an instruction to the waiter, he immediately walked to Song Qingming respectfully and bowed to him.
"This senior, the junior is rude. I don't know what you need when you come to the small shop. Please give an instruction, senior?"
After scanning the Foundation Establishment old man, Song Qingming nodded slightly, and then used a changed voice to transmit his voice to him: "I have some things here that I want to sell. I don't know if your shop is convenient?"
"Oh! It is indeed inconvenient to talk here. Senior, please follow me. If you have anything to say, we can talk slowly upstairs."
Hearing what Song Qingming said, the Foundation Establishment old man immediately reacted, gave a wink to the waiter on the side, and brought Song Qingming to a relatively secret private room on the second floor.
Just after inviting Song Qingming to sit down, the Foundation Establishment old man hurriedly said to him: "Senior, rest assured, all private rooms here have sound-insulating restrictions. If you have any instructions, please speak directly.
Although our Qingxin Pavilion is not a big shop, it is backed by a Nascent Soul sect. As long as the quality of the things you take out is no problem, we will certainly acquire them at the price and will not let you suffer."
Just as the Foundation Establishment old man’s voice fell, Song Qingming waved his hand and took out three magic treasures of different qualities, which fell in front of the other party, and then tapped the table on the side:
"These few things are what I want to sell. Please give a price for your shop. As long as the price is suitable, I won't go to compare prices in three shops.
But I also want to remind you that I only accept spirit stones here and do not accept other spiritual items for exchange."
"Haha! This is natural. Senior, rest assured, we are not short of spirit stones here for the time being.
However, these few things are not ordinary items. The junior has a bit of a clumsy eye and needs to ask the sect elder to help verify them.
If it is convenient for you, senior, can you wait for a moment and allow me to invite the elder over?"
Song Qingming heard this, pondered for a moment, and then nodded lightly: "Hmm! These few things are not ordinary magic treasures, it is not strange that you can't see them.
If it weren't for being a bit tight on hand, I wouldn't be willing to come here to sell them easily.
If you want to find someone, go quickly and return quickly. I will only wait for you for the time of a cup of tea. If you miss it, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance."
"Senior, rest assured, our sect elder happens to be upstairs. The junior will go and return, and will certainly not delay your time."
After bowing and scraping to Song Qingming, the Foundation Establishment old man immediately walked out of the door quickly.
And Song Qingming beckoned to put away the three magic treasures in front of him, and then sat on the side with a quiet face, closing his eyes and waiting.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that the other party had not come over yet, Song Qingming immediately showed a trace of displeasure on his face.
Just as he was about to stand up and leave, he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside, followed by the Foundation Establishment old man walking in with a trace of joy on his face.
"Senior, I am really sorry. My elder was just receiving a distinguished guest, which delayed your time.
She has already come down, please go to the next room to talk!"
Song Qingming, who was originally a bit displeased, heard that the other party had finally come. After calming his expression slightly, he nodded to the Foundation Establishment old man and followed him to a private room next door.
As soon as he entered the door, Song Qingming saw a woman in white wearing a veil standing not far away.
Although he couldn't tell her age, her cultivation was about the same as his, and she was also a cultivator who had already advanced to the late Golden Core stage.
"Senior, this is Elder Long of this sect!"
The woman in white wearing a veil stared at Song Qingming’s face for a while, then frowned suddenly, showing a look of surprise.
Seeing this, Song Qingming also understood in his heart. The other party’s cultivation was not low, and she should have seen through the illusion mask on his face.
But even so, Song Qingming pretended that he didn't notice. After greeting the other party, he immediately used magic to take out the magic treasures he wanted to sell just now.
After the woman in white looked at the three magic treasures Song Qingming took out, she suddenly turned around and waved her hand at the Foundation Establishment old man on the side:
"You go down first, no one is allowed to come in without my permission!"
After the Foundation Establishment old man left, the woman in white turned around and asked: "The things you want to sell today, fellow Daoist, should be more than just these few magic treasures!"
"What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist? Could it be that you think the quality of the things I took out is too low?"
Hearing the doubt in Song Qingming’s tone, the woman in white smiled slightly and shook her head directly: "Fellow Daoist Jin’s heaven-reaching ability back then made me admire you for a long time. I think since you came to Heavenly Heart City to attend the trade fair, the treasures you want to sell certainly won't be just these.
However, speaking of which, you are indeed a cautious person, fellow Daoist.
If I hadn't happened to learn some eye-brightening techniques, I really wouldn't have been able to recognize your true face for a while."
After the woman in white finished speaking, she directly took off the white veil covering her face in front of Song Qingming, revealing a face that made Song Qingming full of surprise.
"So it’s you. This is really a coincidence. I didn't expect that I would run into you here." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 809 =====
"What do you mean by that, Your Excellency? Could it be that you find the quality of the items I brought out too low?"
Hearing the doubt in Song Qingming's tone, the woman in white gave a slight smile and shook her head directly: "Fellow Daoist Jin's heaven-defying abilities in the past earned my deep admiration for a long time. I imagine that since you came to Tianxin City to attend the trade fair, the treasures you intend to sell certainly aren't limited to these."
"Though, come to think of it, you are indeed a cautious person, Fellow Daoist."
"If I hadn't happened to learn some techniques for piercing through illusions, I truly wouldn't have been able to recognize your original appearance for a while."
After the woman in white finished speaking, she removed the white veil covering her face right in front of Song Qingming, revealing a face that left Song Qingming completely surprised.
"So it was you. This is truly a coincidence; I never expected to run into you here." (End of chapter)
