Several hundred spirit stones were instantly added to his storage bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Touching the bulging storage bag at his waist, Song Qingming walked with satisfaction along a street on the west side of Guiyun Market. Seeing that it was getting late, he decided to continue strolling in the market today to purchase some elixirs he needed, and leave Guiyun Market early tomorrow morning to return to Qinghe County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After strolling through several streets in the market, Song Qingming’s storage bag was already filled with many elixirs, spiritual talismans, and a large amount of talisman paper and other materials needed for talisman making. Rarely having the opportunity to come to this large-scale market, Song Qingming simply bought to his heart’s content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing by a rogue cultivator’s stall, after grinding for a long time to buy a secret manual on talisman making at a low price, he looked at the few hundred spirit stones he had, which were now only a small fraction left, and then dejectedly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknowingly, Song Qingming walked into a somewhat quiet street. This street could be considered the place with the slowest business in Guiyun Market. More than half of the dozens of shops along the street had already closed their doors, and the pedestrians coming and going on the street were also very sparse, far less prosperous than other streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming walked dozens of yards along the bluestone street. Seeing that he was about to reach the end of the street, he stopped and prepared to turn back. Just at this moment, an inconspicuous small shop by the side of the street caught his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming looked up at the wooden sign on the shop, only to see the five large black characters \"Li Family Sundry Shop\" written clearly on it with a charcoal pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking into the shop, he found that the owner was a middle-aged cultivator, tall and thin, with an elegant appearance, wearing an ordinary cyan Daoist robe. His cultivation seemed to have already reached the late stage of Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Song Qingming walk into the shop, the middle-aged cultivator did not immediately step forward to greet him, but just squinted his eyes and looked at Song Qingming calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the counter in the shop, there were some common low-level talismans and medicinal materials, as well as a pile of first-tier magic artifacts, which looked well-crafted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Song Qingming’s view, these magic artifacts should have been made by the shop owner himself. Many rogue cultivators who learned skills like artifact refining would choose to open such a small shop in a market like this. The cost would not be too high, and they could collect raw materials while selling the finished magic artifacts. There were also many such rogue cultivators in Qinghe Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking at the items in the shop casually for a while, Song Qingming stepped forward, picked up an ordinary high-grade flying sword from the counter, and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shopkeeper, may I ask how many spirit stones this flying sword costs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged cultivator looked at Song Qingming with some surprise and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, another young servant darted out from behind the counter and shouted loudly, \"Apologies, fellow Daoist. This sword was left here by a senior for safekeeping. Without his consent, it cannot be sold to anyone at will. Why don't you take a look at other magic artifacts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Song Qingming was stunned. This item was related to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, which instantly made him lose his confidence. He slowly put down the flying sword in his hand, feeling a sense of regret in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just entered this shop precisely for this item. This flying sword seemed to have some predestined connection with him in the dark, making him have the thought of taking it away from here the moment he saw it on the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, with his Qi Refining fifth-layer cultivation and magic power, he could at most use two magic artifacts at the same time. Now that he already had the Blazing Sun Sword and the Black Gold Shield, normally speaking, he would not need to purchase any more magic artifacts in the short term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, he had been strolling in this market for so long, and he had only been purchasing spiritual talismans and elixirs. He had not intended to purchase any magic artifacts at all, but he did not know why, as soon as he arrived near this shop, he was firmly attracted by this sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, Qi Refining middle-stage cultivators could not use high-grade magic artifacts either. Qi Refining middle-stage cultivators had limited magic power, and driving a high-grade magic artifact would quickly consume their own magic power. Once they could not take down their opponent in a short time, they would be defeated due to the exhaustion of their magic power, which was not as useful as a mid-grade magic artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only some cultivators with special cultivation techniques or other reasons whose magic power was much thicker than that of cultivators of the same rank could drive high-grade magic artifacts to fight for a long time after refining them. Such cultivators were mostly those with top-tier fighting supernatural powers. After refining high-grade magic artifacts, they even had the ability to kill ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivators across ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as the current Song Qingming was concerned, he was still far from needing to use high-grade magic artifacts. When he saw the high-grade magic artifact in Liu Tianlong’s storage bag, he did not have the slightest thought of refining it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price of high-grade magic artifacts was also much more expensive than that of mid-grade magic artifacts. An ordinary mid-grade flying sword, like the Blazing Sun Sword in Song Qingming’s hand, only cost twenty spirit stones to exchange directly in the clan, and even in the market, it would not exceed thirty spirit stones at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the price of a high-grade flying sword in the market was generally around one hundred spirit stones. The price of one high-grade flying sword could equal three or four mid-grade magic artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the young cultivator took the sword from Song Qingming’s hand, he slowly put the sword into an ancient sword box, the process being extremely careful, for fear of accidentally touching the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged Daoist-dressed shop owner, seeing Song Qingming lowering his head and sighing as he was about to walk out of the shop, suddenly spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little friend, may I ask, why do you want to buy this sword?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know. Seeing this sword from afar, I just felt that this item has a predestined connection with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming shook his head, turned around, and said with a sincere face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Song Qingming’s words, the shop owner paused for a moment, then smiled and said again, \"Since it has a predestined connection with you, I will make an exception today and make a decision for my old friend. I will sell this sword to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, this sword was left here by your... your good friend. How can you sell it to him so easily? Even if you want to sell it, you should look for a suitable person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young cultivator who had just put the sword into the sword box on the side held the sword box preciously and said anxiously to the shop owner, as if he should not have sold this item to Song Qingming, which made Song Qingming feel a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young man’s cultivation was not high, only at the fourth layer of Qi Refining. How could he seem to look down on him? He was too snobbish. If it were a few months ago, Song Qingming naturally would not have had any opinion, but now he was not someone who could not afford these spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, we people who cultivate the Dao value nothing more than a 'predestined connection.' Since this item has a predestined connection with this little brother, he is naturally a suitable person. Little brother, take this sword.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young cultivator still wanted to say something, but was glared back by the shop owner, and could only hand the sword box to Song Qingming with a face full of reluctance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming took the sword box and carefully put it into his storage bag. He could not help but feel a little happy in his heart. He had thought he would not be able to obtain this item, but he did not expect that things would take a turn for the better, making him unable to believe it for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask, senior, what is the name of this sword?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The original name of this sword is 'Grand Void.' Now that this sword has changed its owner, what you want to call it is up to your own intention.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Void, it is indeed a good name. From now on, since it follows me, let it still be called by this name.\" After obtaining this sword, Song Qingming could not help but feel a sense of pleasure in his heart and turned to walk out of the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, little brother, wait a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, is there anything else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You haven't paid the spirit stones yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, oh, apologies. How many spirit stones?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you are a person with a predestined connection, little fellow Daoist, I will not earn that profit on this sword. Just give me one hundred and fifty spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, so expensive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the guest does not have enough spirit stones, then forget it, and take a look at other magic artifacts!\" Seeing that Song Qingming thought it was expensive, the young cultivator wanted to take back the sword box with a face full of joy, but saw Song Qingming take out the spirit stones directly from his storage bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't it just one hundred and fifty spirit stones? Take them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Li Family Sundry Shop, Song Qingming walked on the road, feeling a bit like he had just been played by the master and apprentice duo. If it were true, the two of them were really good at acting, especially the young cultivator’s eyes, which were full of contempt for him from beginning to end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when he took out one hundred and fifty spirit stones on the spot to purchase this item at a premium, the young cultivator still had a reluctant expression. This level was much more formidable than those cunning rogue cultivators he had seen at Caolu Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he felt that one hundred and fifty spirit stones were a bit expensive, Song Qingming always had a feeling in his heart that this sword indeed had a predestined connection with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, just consider it as having been extravagant for once today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1830,"2026-06-14T03:09:34.521Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d114c03190060dedbbf3dc486a0997ab96d8b44e430bad2a528be3d99fb4781a","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-29","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-27",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
