Chapter 395: Jin Yunge

Hearing Fang Wuqian say this, Song Qingming finally gained some understanding of Jin Yunge, and his heart was filled with a bit more respect for the organizer of this trade fair.

This Tuoyun Mountain Trade Fair, hosted by the Old Ancestor Chen, had attracted over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators alone, not to mention thousands of Qi Refining cultivators. If even a small fraction of the spiritual items on these people passed through Jin Yunge's hands, it would be a staggering amount of spirit stones. On this point alone, Jin Yunge could already make a fortune.

Seeing Song Qingming lost in thought, Fang Wuqian continued, "At the current Jin Yunge, as long as what you bring out, Fellow Daoist, isn't useless junk, you can exchange it for spirit stones here. However, if the spiritual items are too common, the price offered here might be lower than outside. Conversely, if you bring out rare spiritual items, they will offer a higher price."

"Currently, the first and second floors of Jin Yunge basically only accept ordinary spiritual items. If you truly have good items, Fellow Daoist, it is best to go to the third floor to avoid being overlooked by the shopkeepers with poor judgment. I still need to go around the trade fair, so I won't disturb you any further, Fellow Daoist Song."

"Many thanks for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Fang!"

After parting ways with Fang Wuqian, Song Qingming bypassed the cultivators coming and going in the lobby and walked directly to the third floor of Jin Yunge.

Compared to the bustling crowds on the first and second floors, Song Qingming discovered that there were far fewer cultivators on the third floor, and those who came up here were basically cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage or higher who had achieved success in their cultivation.

Seeing someone walk up to the staircase, a young maidservant immediately stepped forward, bowed to Song Qingming, and ushered him in.

"Senior, please come inside. May I ask if you are looking to sell some spiritual items?"

Song Qingming smiled slightly. After following the maidservant into a private room and sitting down, he spoke softly, "I have a few sets of Tier 2 magic arrays on me. Please go and notify someone to help me ask how they are acquired!"

The maidservant nodded immediately and hurried out. Before long, a thin, black-clad old man with a gaunt face lifted the door curtain with a smile and walked in, cupping his hands in a salute to Song Qingming first.

"I just heard that you, Fellow Daoist, wish to sell a few sets of Tier 2 magic arrays. May I ask what kind of arrays they are? Could you take them out for me to see?"

Sensing the aura radiating from the old man, Song Qingming realized he was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He quickly stood up to return the salute, then took out four sets of Tier 2 magic arrays of different appearances from the storage bag at his waist.

These magic arrays were all crafted by Song Qingming over the past few years when he happened to encounter suitable materials while purchasing supplies for talisman making.

It was just that magic arrays were not consumable spiritual items like spiritual talismans, making them difficult to sell in large quantities at the marketplace. Even at the exchange meeting for cultivators of the same rank a few days ago, Song Qingming had taken out a set of arrays to trade for other spiritual items, but no one had taken an interest, so they had remained piled up in his storage bag.

Having heard Fang Wuqian say downstairs that Jin Yunge was currently accepting all Tier 2 spiritual items, Song Qingming had thought to bring them to the third floor to try his luck and see if he could sell them all at once.

Seeing Song Qingming take out four brand-new sets of magic arrays at once, the black-clad old man examined them carefully before smiling and saying, "These sets of arrays look like they were just crafted not long ago. You must be a Tier 2 array master, Fellow Daoist!"

Hearing the black-clad old man's question, Song Qingming nodded slightly, tacitly acknowledging the statement. He then picked up the spiritual tea beside him, took a light sip, and waited patiently for the other party to continue.

Seeing that Song Qingming seemed unwilling to say more, the black-clad old man smiled at him and continued, "These four sets of arrays are worth approximately two thousand spirit stones according to market prices. However, since we are purchasing so many sets at once, the price will naturally be discounted. How about one thousand seven hundred spirit stones, Fellow Daoist?"

"One thousand eight hundred spirit stones!"

Hearing Song Qingming speak up suddenly, the black-clad old man put down the magic arrays in his hand and nodded, "Fine, let it be as you say, one thousand eight hundred spirit stones. I wonder if you have any other spiritual items to sell, Fellow Daoist? Why not take them all out together? I will certainly give you a fair price."

"I do have some other spiritual items, but they are all ordinary Tier 2 items. If you can offer a fair price, Fellow Daoist, that would be fine. If I can exchange them for more spirit stones, I will be able to purchase more spiritual items at the trade fair later."

"Haha! Rest assured, Fellow Daoist, I will certainly give you a price you are satisfied with."

Half an hour later, Song Qingming finally walked out of Jin Yunge with a calm expression.

Coming to Tuoyun Mountain this time, besides bringing several thousand spirit stones, Song Qingming also had quite a few spiritual items in his storage bag. In addition to the Tier 2 magic arrays he had sold initially, Song Qingming also had Tier 2 spiritual talismans he had crafted but hadn't had time to sell, several Tier 2 magic tools that were useless to him, and some miscellaneous Tier 1 spiritual items he had been carrying. This time, Song Qingming simply did a major cleaning of his storage bag on the third floor of Jin Yunge.

He sold all the spiritual items he had been meaning to deal with for a long time at a slight discount, and even disposed of some storage bags he had seized from others in past battles here.

Tuoyun Mountain was tens of thousands of miles away from Qinghe County. With thousands of cultivators coming to Jin Yunge to sell spiritual items during this trade fair, it would be difficult to trace the origin of any item after it passed through this event.

With over seven thousand more spirit stones suddenly in his possession, Song Qingming felt much more relaxed. If a Foundation Establishment Pill or a Tier 3 spiritual item useful for Core Formation were to appear at the trade fair, he would have a good chance of securing one with so many spirit stones.

After coming out of Jin Yunge and seeing that the sun was about to set, Song Qingming looked at the still bustling mountaintop before turning back to the temporary cave dwelling he had rented on the mountain.

Over the next two days, although some relatively rare spiritual items began to appear at the Tuoyun Mountain Trade Fair, Song Qingming did not see any items worth his while that would be useful for his Core Formation.

On the fifth day of the trade fair, the Sword Trial Assembly hosted by Tuoyun Mountain finally began. The location for the Sword Trial Assembly was on several stone platforms to the west of the trade fair.

To prevent the cultivators' duels from damaging the ongoing trade fair nearby, the areas around these stone platforms were set with powerful restrictive arrays. During the duels, there would also be many Tuoyun Mountain cultivators nearby to judge the outcome of the fights.

"Fellow Daoist Song, how is it? Which opponent did you just draw?" Just as Song Qingming walked to the side of the stone platform for Foundation Establishment duels, the two members of the Huang family who had also signed up for the competition followed him there.
