Chapter 314

In such a tense atmosphere, another half a month passed. As a result, strangely, Huanglong Market had always been very calm, and there were no Heaven Sea Alliance cultivators attacking as everyone had imagined.

Huanglong Market was finally stable on the surface, and everyone responsible for guarding the market gradually let go of their tense nerves and lived a relaxed life for a while.

Besides daily cultivation and taking turns to guard at the gate of the market, Song Qingming and these Foundation Establishment cultivators had no other specific things to do, unlike in Qinghe Market where they still had to manage the trivial matters in the market.

Song Qingming had plenty of time and often wandered in several shops opened by the Lingyin Sect in the market. Because there were no other shops opened by other cultivators in the market, all cultivators stationed here who wanted to purchase or exchange for materials with merit points could only come to these few shops opened by the Lingyin Sect.

After Song Qingming arrived at Huanglong Market and stayed for a period of time, he discovered that there were also many special spiritual objects here that were not available in Wei Guo, and some low-level spiritual objects that could be seen everywhere in Wei Guo markets could not be found here instead.

Like the puppet beasts that are very rare in Wei Guo, there are many in the markets of Lu Guo. Not only first-level puppet beasts, but even second-level puppet beasts, which are very rare in the entire Wei Guo, don't seem to be rare spiritual objects here. Even in this inconspicuous Huanglong Market, there are several second-level puppet beasts. However, these few puppet beasts are not owned by individuals, but are assets of the Lingyin Sect that are uniformly deployed here to cooperate in guarding the market.

After staying in Huanglong Market for a period of time, Song Qingming also gradually understood all the defensive strength of this market. When he first saw a team of security cultivators in the market standing on the city wall with a second-level puppet beast training together, Song Qingming still revealed a look of surprise.

Later, Song Qingming inquired about it intentionally, only to know that besides Liu Wenguan and other Foundation Establishment cultivators, there were four second-level puppet beasts in Huanglong Market assisting in guarding this market. When Huanglong Market was raided last time, if it weren't for these few puppet beasts helping to contain several people on the other side at a critical moment, even if Liu Wenguan, a master at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, faced the siege of many people on the other side, it would be very difficult to find an opportunity to use that third-level spirit talisman that determined the fate of the entire Huanglong Market.

An ordinary second-level puppet beast, although it only has half the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the same level, facing the desperate attack of a second-level puppet beast, sometimes it can also make a cultivator of the same level who doesn't understand the characteristics of the puppet beast rush around in a panic. This kind of spiritual object plays a very large role in the battle between cultivators of the same level.

Song Qingming had always wanted a second-level puppet beast when he was in Wei Guo. It's a pity that after he achieved Foundation Establishment, he only saw a second-level puppet beast that was somewhat special in the Heaven Pill Alliance auction. At that time, he was short of money and could only watch as others took it down. By the time he was no longer short of these spirit stones, it was a pity that he never saw similar spiritual objects again.

Coming to Lu Guo to support, now as long as you have enough merit points, you can immediately go to the Merit Hall of the Lingyin Sect to directly exchange for a second-level puppet beast. And there are not only second-level puppet beasts in there, but even if you want a third-level puppet beast, the Lingyin Sect can also take it out, provided that you can earn enough merit points. Many of these are exchanged with life.

All spiritual objects in the Merit Hall of the Lingyin Sect require a certain amount of merit points to be exchanged. The current Song Qingming does not have enough merit points to exchange for spiritual objects of the second-level puppet beast level. He can still only sigh at the ocean.

When Song Qingming was still in the Qi Refining stage, he had operated several first-level puppet beasts, and he was quite interested in this kind of spiritual object. It's just that after his cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, the help of the puppet beasts in his hand to him became lower and lower, until later, after Song Qingming lost the giant ape puppet beast he had been carrying on his person in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, he never used this kind of spiritual object again.

As long as the spiritual sense is strong enough, the help of puppet beasts to cultivators is very large. In the battle of ordinary cultivators, if you can suddenly control a puppet beast of the same level to join the battle, it is enough to affect the balance of victory and defeat.

Second-level puppet beasts, besides being able to be controlled by Foundation Establishment cultivators, three or four Qi Refining cultivators together can also barely control this level of spiritual object. If you can get a second-level puppet beast here and put it in the family, it can also greatly improve the overall combat effectiveness of the Qi Refining cultivators under the Song family.

Song Qingming had this idea in his heart, but a second-level puppet beast needs at least five thousand spirit stones in the market. The merit points required in the Merit Pavilion of the Lingyin Sect naturally will not be too low. Just by being stationed here in Huanglong Market for a year, if there is no major merit, it is absolutely impossible to exchange for spiritual objects of this level.

Fortunately, there is still nearly a year left. Song Qingming can still inquire about where he can directly purchase this kind of spiritual object. If it really doesn't work, he can only wait for an opportunity to come to Lu Guo to see again in the future.

Just like this, Song Qingming stayed in Huanglong Market for half a year. Although he also encountered several requests for help from transport teams attacked by Heaven Sea Alliance infiltrated cultivators, by the time they rushed to the scene of the incident to rescue, the other side had either already finished robbing and run away, or saw that they couldn't attack for a long time and chose to retreat. Song Qingming and others simply didn't have any opportunity to fight with the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the other side.

As for Huanglong Market, ever since Song Qingming and the others came, there had been no war here. The batch of Qi Refining cultivators who came to guard here with them all looked very excited. Being able to be assigned to such a safe place can be considered as having good luck.

By comparison, on the front-line battlefield of Lu Guo, both sides have fought several more battles in the past half year. Although there was no loss of Golden Core-level combat power, the losses of both sides of low-level cultivators such as Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining were not small. The high-level of both the Lingyin Sect and the Heaven Sea Alliance had no major actions during this period, just maintaining the battle line, and from time to time both sides found an excuse to fight, but in the end, they couldn't fight out a result, just consuming quite a few low-level cultivators and materials in vain.

Song Qingming had no opinion on such stable days now. Even if he returned to Wei Guo empty-handed, it didn't matter, as long as he could keep his small life.

However, Cao Rongxue, who came with him, was somewhat unwilling. She seemed to be very eager to make contributions. Every time, whether it was supporting the battle or going to escort materials, she was the one who rushed to the front. This made Song Qingming, who had an average attitude towards tasks, somewhat embarrassed. Fortunately, there was also Zhao Mengzhen, who had similar thoughts to him. Both of them were people who prioritized saving their lives, and many times their thoughts could quickly come together.

On this day, Song Qingming had just returned from changing shifts at the city gate of the market. He didn't want to wait until he returned to his cave dwelling before he suddenly received a sound transmission for all cultivators to gather.
