Chapter 27 Guiyunfang

Two days later, outside a square brick town, Song Qingming and his party were queuing to enter the city.

Guiyunfang is indeed the largest market in the northern border area. Even the Qi-refining monks guarding the city gate have the cultivation of late Qi-refining, and there is also a giant third-level mechanical beast to assist in defense. With such combat power, even the foundation-building monks in the team dare not come out to cause trouble.

Everyone lined up honestly and passed the identity verification of the guard monks one by one before entering the market. When it was Song Qingming's turn, the checking monk glanced at him a few times. Seeing that he was not one of the vicious bandits on the bounty list in the market on weekdays, he collected a spirit stone and let him go.

Guiyunfang is not like other markets, where you can enter and exit freely. Only merchants who are resident in the market, or monks who rent caves in Guiyun Mountain, can enter and exit the market for free after obtaining the pass token issued by the market. Others have to pay a spirit stone to enter the market. Just this point, Xiaoyao Sect can easily collect hundreds of spirit stones every day.

"Fellow Daoist Song, you are quite skilled. I wonder if you are interested in living in Guiyunfang. Next time, we can go out to hunt monsters together."

During the battle two days ago, Shi Chun saw that although Song Qingming's cultivation was not high, his fighting ability was not weak, and the magic weapon on his body was also very sophisticated, so he wanted to win him over.

Song Qingming had already seen his intention along the way, and pretended to think for a while before responding: "Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Shi, but my cave is in Qinghe County, and I rarely come to the Fuyun Mountains to hunt monsters. This time I came to Guiyunfang just to buy some cultivation resources on the way, and I will leave soon. If I come to Guiyunfang to make a living in the future, please don't despise me, Brother Shi."

Seeing that Song Qingming did not agree, Shi Chun had expected it. After all, Song Qingming's cave was not in Guiyunfang, so he nodded, then gave Song Qingming a place for them to stay, and led everyone to say goodbye to Song Qingming.

It was the first time for Song Qingming to come to a large market like Guiyunfang. This market seemed to be more than ten times larger than Qinghefang, which he had been to before. A small market like Qinghefang was about the same size as the Song family's Mujiao Town, with only a few dozen shops on one street.

And a street in Guiyunfang alone was larger than the entire market of Qinghefang. Looking at this street that was more than twice as wide as Qinghefang, Song Qingming also felt a little emotional.

Guiyunfang, built on a third-level spiritual vein, at the foot of Guiyun Mountain, is the largest market in the northern part of Weiguo. On the spiritual vein Guiyun Mountain behind this market, there are thousands of caves for cultivation. There is also a Jindan-stage elder of Xiaoyao Sect guarding the top of the mountain all year round. In addition, the third-level mountain protection formation covering the entire Lingshan and the market, even if two or three ordinary Jindan-stage cultivators come, it is difficult to break through the formation in a short time.

This is also one of the few large gathering places for independent cultivators in Weiguo. After all, you only need to spend a dozen spirit stones to rent a cave with abundant spiritual energy all year round. You can practice in the rented cave with peace of mind, and you don’t have to worry about anyone daring to disturb you. After all, Guiyunfang must ensure the quietness of these rented caves after spending spirit stones.

In Guiyunfang, cultivators are prohibited from fighting and causing trouble. There are always law enforcement teams led by foundation-building cultivators who take turns day and night to patrol the entire Lingshan Market. Since the establishment of the market for more than a thousand years, few cultivators dare to cause trouble here. Even if you have an enemy hiding in this market, you can only wait for him to take the initiative to leave this market if you want to take revenge.

After entering the market, Song Qingming finally saw the gap between Qinghe County and here after feeling the concentration of spiritual energy in this genuine third-level spirit vein. He couldn't help but have the idea of ​​staying here for a long time to practice.

However, he quickly shook his head and came to his senses. Now he didn't have much time to stay here. He had been separated from his clansmen for more than half a month. After dealing with his things, he had to return to Funiu Mountain as soon as possible, so as to avoid the elders in the clan from worrying about him.

With a treasure like the Water Spirit Fruit, Song Qingming didn't dare to stay in this crowded market for too long. He walked around the street for more than half an hour before he found a small shop he thought was suitable, called Lingbao Pavilion.

Before entering, Song Qingming first took out a hat that had been prepared for a long time from his storage bag and put it on his head. He looked at the half of his face that was already covered, and then he walked into the shop slowly with satisfaction.

The reason why he took a fancy to this shop was mainly that compared with other shops in the market, most of the people entering and leaving this shop were cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining. It seemed that this shop seemed to be dealing in some low-level first-level spiritual objects, and there would not be any high-level cultivators coming here, which made Song Qingming feel relieved.

Compared with the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage have a higher level of cultivation and greater magical powers. Their spiritual consciousness is several times that of the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. They can easily send out their spiritual consciousness to detect the people around them. This has always made Song Qingming a little worried.

As soon as he entered the store, an old man in white came to greet him quickly, smiling slyly and saying, "What treasures does this Taoist want? Our store has pills, talismans, instruments, and formations."

This old man in white turned out to be a cultivator in the late Qi Refining Stage. He was a little surprised that a cultivator in the late Qi Refining Stage would be so polite to a cultivator with a lower level of cultivation.

Song Qingming had never seen such a scene in Qinghefang. In the shops in Qinghefang, those who did this kind of work were all mortals, and it was even rarer for cultivators to come out to entertain customers with ordinary cultivation like him.

Song Qingming lowered his head, trying not to let the other party see his face clearly, and said softly: "I have a few magic tools that I am anxious to sell. I wonder if your family will accept them."

The old man in white was slightly startled when he heard this, and immediately said: "I need you to follow me to the back hall to check the quality of the things first. As long as the quality is good, we will accept them. Our store not only recycles magic tools, but also other spiritual objects such as elixirs and talismans. The price is naturally lower than that of new magic tools. However, fellow Taoist, rest assured that our store has always been fair and will not pursue the origin."

Song Qingming nodded after listening. The price of recycling these old magic tools with unknown origins in the market is naturally about 10% or 20% lower. Seeing that he didn't seem to want to reveal his origin, the old man also hurriedly said that it was absolutely safe for him to sell here.

Then he followed the old man to a small room in the store. After they sat down, two mortal servants came forward and offered two cups of spiritual tea. Song Qingming ignored the fragrant spiritual tea and took out Liu Tianlong's magic tools from the storage bag and put them on the table in front of the old man in white.

The old man in white took a sip of tea, picked up the magic tools, tried them one by one, and nodded with satisfaction.

"A top-grade flying sword costs 80 spiritual stones, two mid-grade magic tools cost 45 spiritual stones, and the three magic tools cost 125 spiritual stones. This is the highest price our store can offer. If you agree, I will ask someone to prepare spiritual stones immediately."

The old man shouted out a series of prices, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Song Qingming. Song Qingming also knew that the price was indeed not high, and at least he could accept it. He didn't say much, nodded and continued.

"Okay, I still have a few bottles of pills here, take a look, if you want them, I'll sell them to you."

The old man in white saw Song Qingming take out a few jade bottles, picked them up, opened them, smelled them, and put them down again. He said a few polite words and asked Song Qingming to wait for a while. The old man in white went out and called a middle-aged cultivator in.

The middle-aged cultivator seemed to be an alchemist in the store. After looking at the bottles of pills for a while, he said, "Daoyou, your bottle of Jade Dew Pill is a top-grade pill that can improve mana. Our store recycles 50 spirit stones for one bottle. These bottles are ordinary spirit beast pills, which can only be used to raise underage spirit beasts. Our store will not accept them."

After hearing the origins of these bottles of pills, Song Qingming also made a calculation in his mind. It is impossible for him to sell the Jade Dew Pill that can improve mana to them at a discount like the few magic tools just now. The other party did not accept the other bottles of useless pills, so he could only give up.

"Since you don't want all of them, forget about the pills and just give me the spirit stones for the magic weapon."

The middle-aged cultivator walked out angrily after hearing Song Qingming's reply. The old man in white was unwilling to give up and continued to negotiate the price with Song Qingming. Seeing that Song Qingming was indeed unwilling to sell the bottle of Jade Dew Pill, he began to sell him other items in the store.

"My fellow Taoist, I came here to sell my magic weapon in exchange for other cultivation resources. I don't need to buy a magic weapon for the time being. Otherwise, why would I sell this magic weapon?"

"My fellow Taoist, the magic weapons in our store are not comparable to those in ordinary small stores."

A quarter of an hour later, under the "patient" promotion of the old man in white, Song Qingming still bought a bottle of pills against his will, then picked up the remaining spirit stones from the magic weapon he had just sold and walked out of the Lingbao Pavilion.
