Chapter 87

Song Qingming waved his hand at Old Daoist Chen and did not take the talisman of high value in his hand, but took out a small blue formation flag from his storage bag.

After casting a magic spell on the formation flag in his hand, the blue formation flag flashed with spiritual light and quickly flew to the door of the room. Subsequently, the entire room was suddenly wrapped in a translucent white light, and in an instant, a formation was formed, isolating the sound inside and outside the house.

Seeing this situation, a trace of anger suddenly appeared on Old Daoist Chen's face. He stood up and shouted loudly at Song Qingming: "What does your Excellency mean? Even if the old Daoist was a bit sorry for you that day, it was not intentional. Is it possible that you still want to kill people and seize treasures in the market today?"

"Sigh, Old Senior Chen, don't misunderstand. Although I was dragged down by Fellow Daoist that day and almost died in the deep mountains, I am not an unreasonable person. Naturally, I know that this matter is not mainly the Daoist's fault. Old Senior Chen, rest assured, I am definitely not that kind of narrow-minded person. This is just a formation I refined, which can only isolate sound and spiritual sense, and has no other function. Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist."

After Old Daoist Chen finished listening, he slowly sat down again, but now he still hadn't completely let go of his guard against Song Qingming, and one hand was always resting on the storage bag at his waist.

After Old Daoist Chen sat down, Song Qingming continued: "Fellow Daoist came to me this time, is it because you want to sell a second-level Green Sandalwood Grass, right?"

Before Song Qingming entered the door, he had already learned from Wang Cheng that Old Daoist Chen came to the shop to sell a second-level spiritual medicine. Because Wang Cheng didn't know much about second-level spiritual medicine, he had to ask Song Qingming to come over to confirm.

"That's right, the junior wants to use this spiritual grass to exchange for some spiritual pills. I have already looked for two shops, and no one recognized it. I didn't expect that little friend Song could recognize it." Hearing Song Qingming mention the spiritual grass he just took out in the front hall, he really wanted to talk to him about business, so Old Daoist Chen slowly let go of his guard and took out the spiritual grass on his body again.

Song Qingming took the Green Sandalwood Grass and looked at it carefully, then said: "Qinghe Market is a small market after all, and spiritual items above the second level rarely appear. It is understandable that others didn't recognize this second-level spiritual grass of the senior immediately.

The age of this spiritual grass has reached two hundred years, and it is indeed a second-level spiritual grass. According to the price of second-level spiritual medicine acquired in our Qinghe Market, this Green Sandalwood Grass is worth one hundred spirit stones. If Fellow Daoist thinks this price is acceptable, this spiritual grass can be accepted by our shop. If Fellow Daoist needs any spiritual pills, you can also take a look in the shop."

After saying that, Song Qingming took out a bag of spirit stones and put it on the table between the two.

Old Daoist Chen took the bag and looked at it. Seeing the hundred spirit stones shining with gold in the bag, he put them away with a happy face.

"Little friend Song is really a straightforward person, so it's settled. If there is nothing else, the old Daoist will go outside to see if there are any spiritual pills I need."

Old Daoist Chen just stood up and wanted to leave here, but Song Qingming reached out and stopped him.

"Old Senior, wait a moment. I still have a business I want to talk to Fellow Daoist about, but before that, there is one thing I want to ask Fellow Daoist first."

Old Daoist Chen stopped and said with a smile: "Little friend Song, please speak."

After reaching the first transaction, Old Daoist Chen's attitude was much better than before.

"When I first met Fellow Daoist back then, I was hiding on a big tree more than ten feet away from Fellow Daoist. I was confident that I hadn't revealed any obvious flaws. Old Daoist Chen hadn't broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining back then. I don't know how you discovered me."

After Old Daoist Chen finished listening, he narrowed his eyes and recalled it, and then said with a smile: "Actually, it's not worth mentioning. This is because the old man happened to cultivate a technique that can strengthen the cultivator's spiritual sense by chance, and his spiritual sense exceeds that of ordinary cultivators of the same rank, so he discovered the little friend in advance and found your hiding position."

"Oh, so that's how it is. I have been looking for spiritual sense techniques for the past few years. I don't know if Fellow Daoist can sell this technique to me?"

When he first hid his position, Song Qingming was a bit puzzled, but he had always been unable to figure it out. It wasn't until he went to Guiyun Market and came into contact with puppet techniques that he remembered that there were some techniques in the cultivation world that could strengthen the cultivator's spiritual sense, and he slowly guessed the reason why the old man found his hiding position back then.

The reason why he asked about this just now was to confirm his guess. Sure enough, the old man was just as he thought, and had cultivated spiritual sense techniques.

"Can the junior ask first, why does the little friend want to cultivate this kind of technique?" Old Daoist Chen was also a bit surprised when he heard that Song Qingming was interested in the spiritual sense techniques on him, and asked cautiously.

Spiritual sense techniques are not simple to cultivate, and after cultivation, they only have some auxiliary effects in combat, and they are of no use for cultivators to improve their own cultivation base.

The reason why Old Daoist Chen cultivated this technique was also because he had reached this age, and his cultivation base had no room for much progress, so he had time to study this technique. It is indeed a bit strange for a young cultivator like Song Qingming to want to cultivate spiritual sense techniques.

Song Qingming seemed to have expected that Old Daoist Chen would ask this, and raised his hand to release the Thunder Tiger puppet beast on his body.

"So the Fellow Daoist is to strengthen the puppet technique on his body. No wonder he wants to cultivate spiritual sense techniques."

Seeing this puppet beast, Old Daoist Chen, who had been cultivating for many years, quickly understood it all at once, showing an "oh, so that's how it is" expression, and nodded to Song Qingming with a smile.

"A few years ago, I was lucky enough to get a puppet beast outside. After refining it, I found that my spiritual sense was not enough, and I had been unable to control this puppet beast well in battle for a long time, so I wanted to find a spiritual sense technique for myself." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he put the puppet beast away again.

Come to think of it, these robbers from Eagle Nest Ridge were truly his nemeses. Back in Qinghe County, Song Qingming had been chased by them until he nearly lost his life. He never expected to encounter them again after arriving at Guiyun Market.

Song Qingming picked up the jade slip and stuck it to his forehead. His spiritual sense quickly entered the jade slip. This technique was indeed incomplete as Old Daoist Chen said. The technique seemed to have only the first part, but it was enough for him to cultivate now. He was not trying to specialize in this kind of spiritual sense technique. As long as it could be used barely, it would allow him to exert the full power of the puppet beast in his hand.

After checking that the technique taken out by Old Daoist Chen was correct, Song Qingming put away the jade slip, then removed the formation arranged in the room, and called an assistant to take two bottles of spiritual pills for Old Daoist Chen.

The reason why Song Qingming wasted time arranging this formation just now was naturally not to deal with Old Daoist Chen, but just because he didn't want too many people to know that he wanted to cultivate spiritual sense techniques, and by the way, give Old Daoist Chen a deterrent so that he could successfully talk about the next transaction.

"Little friend Song, this technique is a bit incomplete. Fellow Daoist should also be cautious in cultivation and must not be eager for quick success. Here are some insights from the old Daoist when cultivating, and I will give them to the Fellow Daoist together." Old Daoist Chen put away the spiritual pills with satisfaction, handed a notebook to Song Qingming, and didn't forget to remind him before leaving.

After Song Qingming put away this notebook, he bowed to Old Daoist Chen to express his gratitude, and finally personally sent him to the door, telling him that if there were any spiritual items in the future, he could bring them directly here to find him, and he would guarantee that he would not let him suffer a loss.
