Chapter 416

Since arriving at Yangshan Market three days ago, Song Qingming has run through all the larger shops in the market these past few days, but still hasn't found the elixir he wanted.

Just when Song Qingming was at his wit's end, Song Xinyu on Mount Guyang sent him a letter, saying that he had found a cultivator in the Xiaoyao Sect who could exchange for a Moon-Gazing Pill, but the other party wanted a second-grade defensive magic tool before he would exchange for this elixir.

Although the unit price of any elixir above the second grade in the market is more expensive than before, the other party proposed to exchange a second-grade defensive magic tool for a Moon-Gazing Pill, which was still a great bargain.

The transaction price of a Moon-Gazing Pill in the market is generally around five hundred spirit stones, but a second-grade low-grade defensive magic tool costs at least seven hundred spirit stones. If they were to exchange directly like this, Song Qingming would definitely suffer a big loss.

Fortunately, the other party also knew about this and took the initiative to propose that they could add some spirit stones to exchange together. This didn't intend to let Song Qingming suffer a loss, which made his mood much better.

The next day, after Song Qingming waited in the inn for half a day, Song Xinyu finally brought a young man who looked somewhat handsome to the inn and soon found the second-floor private room that Song Qingming had already prepared for them.

"Seventh Uncle, this is Xu Liangjian, an inner sect disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. Senior Brother Xu is also a relatively famous alchemist in our sect. I have also asked him to help me refine elixirs several times, so we can be considered acquaintances."

After introducing the person, Song Xinyu introduced Song Qingming and Senior Brother Xu to each other, and soon the relationship between the few people became much more familiar.

This time, Song Qingming didn't have any nonsense and directly took out a jade pendant he had just obtained from Feng He not long ago and put it on the table.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I won't say much more. This magic tool is a genuine second-grade defensive magic tool. Take a look first!"

Senior Brother Xu picked up the jade pendant and carefully observed it for a while, then began to play with it with some love.

"Fellow Daoist Song, this magic tool of yours should cost seven or eight hundred spirit stones in the market now. Anyway, everyone is a friend now, so how about I exchange the Moon-Gazing Pill plus two hundred and fifty spirit stones for this magic tool?"

"Hmm! Still two hundred." Song Qingming replied with a calm face.

After Xu Liangjian looked at Song Qingming, whose face was still as usual, he sighed slightly and said, "Let's do as you say, I will add two hundred and sixty spirit stones to you."

The price Xu Liangjian initially gave was actually about the same as what Song Qingming had estimated back then. The reason why he asked for ten more spirit stones was just because he didn't like the original number. After Song Qingming and Xu Liangjian agreed on the price, the two exchanged spiritual objects in this private room.

After the transaction was reached, Xu Liangjian said goodbye to the two and left the inn.

Looking at the Moon-Gazing Pill that had no abnormalities after getting it, a trace of a smile appeared on Song Qingming's face. Although it cost him a good spiritual object, he finally got the Moon-Gazing Pill. Song Qingming finally completed the purpose of his trip to Yangshan Market this time.

Since Song Xinyu established his foundation, the Song family can be considered to have someone in the Xiaoyao Sect who can speak a little bit, which also brought a lot of convenience to Song Qingming.

In the past, some spiritual objects that were difficult to obtain in the outside market could now be easily heard through Song Xinyu in the Xiaoyao Sect. This time, the Moon-Gazing Pill was also found by Song Xinyu after asking many fellow disciples to help Song Qingming find one.

After successfully obtaining the Moon-Gazing Pill, he prepared to rent a cave dwelling in this Yangshan Market to close-door. The spiritual energy of Yangshan Market is much better than that of the Song family's Mount Funiu. This time, with the Moon-Gazing Pill, Song Qingming feels in his heart that it should be a matter of course for him to raise his cultivation to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment this time.

"Xinyu, I plan to rent a cave dwelling in the market to close-door to impact the realm in a few days. I estimate that I will stay in Yangshan Market for a few more months. If you encounter anything that needs to find me, you can come directly to the cave dwelling in the back mountain of the market."

"Seventh Uncle, if you close-door in Yangshan Market, I'm afraid you will be disturbed by other cultivators. Why don't I stay in Yangshan Market to guard the pass for you for a period of time?" Seeing that Song Qingming wanted to close-door in Yangshan Market to break through the realm, Song Xinyu was also very surprised.

Song Qingming smiled and shook his head, "I'm just closing-door to break through a small realm. Even if someone disturbs me, it won't have much impact. Don't worry about this. Just do what you should do. Don't worry about me here. After all, Yangshan Market is at the foot of the Xiaoyao Sect, and no one will be bold enough to make trouble here."

After sending Song Xinyu away, Song Qingming returned to his room, packed his luggage, checked out of the guest room he was staying in, and went directly to the place where cave dwellings were rented in the market.

Like Guiyun Market, Yangshan Market also has many cave dwellings in the back mountain that can be rented by cultivators. Some of these cave dwellings are high-grade cave dwellings with sufficient spiritual energy, which can even be comparable to third-grade spiritual veins, and occasionally attract loose Core Formation cultivators from other places to come here to rent cave dwellings temporarily.

In a large hall with people coming and going, a Qi Refining cultivator who looked somewhat mature was spreading out a hand-drawn map and explaining respectfully to Song Qingming.

"Senior, the vacant cave dwellings in the back mountain are all here. Take a look at which one you need and how long you want to rent it. I will register it for you, and you can move in soon."

This map depicts hundreds of cultivator cave dwellings of all sizes. Among them, there are not many low-grade cave dwellings at the foot of the mountain that are still vacant, but most of the cave dwellings from the hillside upwards with relatively sufficient spiritual energy are still ownerless.

After Song Qingming scanned it, he pointed his finger directly at a high-grade cave dwelling above the map and said softly, "Just the No. 11 cave dwelling, rent it for half a year. Please help me handle the formalities!"

At first, seeing Song Qingming pointing his finger upwards, the little old man's face was already blooming with joy, but when he heard that Song Qingming only rented it for half a year, his face was disappointed again.

"Senior, our market has always been relatively welcoming to high-grade cultivators like you. Cultivators who rent for more than two years can get a large discount. If you only live for half a year, it might not be very cost-effective."

Song Qingming looked at the little old man and smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter. I just need to close-door to break through my cultivation this time, and I haven't decided to live here for a long time. It's enough to have a quiet place with sufficient spiritual energy."
