Chapter 272: Huanyun Pavilion

This time, Song Qingming brought Shi Chun with him to help him when he came to Guiyunfang.

He had been in Guiyunfang for many years before and was more familiar with the place than Song Qingming. With his help, Song Qingming successfully found a shop that bought second-level talismans on the first day and sold a lot of talismans.

On the second day, under the recommendation of Shi Chun, Song Qingming came to a shop called Huanyun Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the door, Song Qingming saw that there were several foundation-building monks sitting in the lobby, seemingly waiting for something. He was surprised. This shop didn't look very conspicuous, but he didn't expect to attract so many foundation-building monks at once.

When they saw Song Qingming coming in, two of them bowed to him in a friendly manner. Song Qingming returned the greeting quickly, and then looked around and didn't see the waiters. He guessed that they should have gone to help the people in front of him get something, so he stood aside patiently and waited.

After a while, a fat shopkeeper came out from the back hall, apologized to the few people, took out a few bottles of elixirs and gave them to two of them. After the payment and goods were settled, the two left quickly.

The shopkeeper turned around and looked at the other two people who had greeted Song Qingming before, and said very politely: "Two Taoist friends, the time of this exchange meeting has been confirmed. It will be at midnight in two days. Please remember to be on time." After that, the fat shopkeeper stuffed a bag of spiritual tea into each of the two people's hands.

"Okay, we will take our leave first." The two people were not polite. They directly put the things sent by the fat shopkeeper into their storage bags, and then bowed and said goodbye.

After the two left, the fat shopkeeper turned around and looked at Song Qingming who was sitting alone.

"This fellow Daoist looks a little unfamiliar. This should be your first time to visit our Huanyun Pavilion. If you don't know what you want, please tell me directly. We are here to entertain foundation-building cultivators. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Song Qingming was also a little surprised to see that this fat shopkeeper, a foundation-building cultivator, was doing such chores like a young cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.

When he came here, he only learned from Shi Chun that there were many second-level spiritual objects for sale in Huanyun Pavilion. He didn't know that this place was so different from other shops. After looking for a long time, it seemed that there was really no ordinary clerk, only this foundation-building cultivator who was the shopkeeper himself, which really surprised him.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I came here to ask if you accept second-level talismans."

"Of course I accept second-level talismans, but I still need to see what kind of talismans you have. If I have enough of them, I won't accept them for now. We can be friends first and you can bring them to me later."

Hearing that Song Qingming was here to sell talismans, the fat shopkeeper immediately lost most of his interest, but he still politely asked Song Qingming to take out the talisman first.

Song Qingming's attitude towards him was also expected. After all, although it was a second-level talisman, it was not a rare thing in such a big market. If you just shout a few times on the street, you might be able to call a few second-level talisman makers.

After carefully taking out five or six talismans of various kinds, Song Qingming narrowed his eyes and said, "Please take a look, if you like it, I have more on me."

The fat shopkeeper picked up the talisman and looked at it, then his expression changed immediately. After a while, he picked out a talisman and handed it back to Song Qingming, saying with a smile, "I have enough of this talisman. No matter how many other talismans you have, I will take them all. Don't worry about the price. I will definitely give you the highest price in Guiyunfang."

Hearing this, Song Qingming was relieved and happily took out more than a dozen talismans and handed them to the fat shopkeeper.

"That's all for now. Please give me a price first. I still need to buy some pills."

In fact, Song Qingming has more than a dozen talismans on him. The reason why Song Qingming said this is that he doesn't want to attract too much attention from others, so as not to bring himself unnecessary trouble.

Sure enough, when the fat shopkeeper heard what Song Qingming said, he immediately shifted his attention to selling his own elixirs. After this transaction, Song Qingming had more than a thousand spirit stones and several bottles of elixirs needed for cultivation.

"Friend Zhan, what is the exchange meeting you talked about before? Can you tell me about it?" After the transaction was completed, Song Qingming turned around and asked before leaving.

During the transaction just now, the fat shopkeeper had told Song Qingming his name and told him that this Huanyun Pavilion was opened by him alone and he did not hire other cultivators.

This shop used to do some business with Qi Refining cultivators. More than ten years ago, several Qi Refining clerks he hired suddenly conspired to steal several of his spiritual objects and ran away when he was not paying attention. Although these things were not very valuable, they made him no longer like to trust the clerks below. Later, he simply dismissed all the clerks and only did business with foundation building cultivators.

When the fat shopkeeper heard Song Qingming asking about the exchange fair, his eyes lit up and he answered: "This is organized by me and several fellow Taoists. Only cultivators above the foundation building stage can participate. There are only a dozen people in total. If you are interested, you can come together. However, this exchange fair is held here. We don't charge commissions, but we charge ten spirit stones per person for each participation, which is also considered a venue fee."

"So, can I also participate?"

"As long as you have my recommendation, it will not be a problem. Our exchange fair is held every few months. If you live in Guiyunfang, you can meet many fellow Taoists by participating in our exchange fair, which is also a very beneficial thing for you." Seeing that Song Qingming was somewhat interested, the fat shopkeeper quickly struck while the iron was hot and tempted him with a few words.

"What you said makes some sense. I will definitely not miss this exchange fair. I hope you can help introduce me to someone." Song Qingming nodded and agreed.

"Don't worry, the exchange will start on time in two days. As long as you come, I will not refuse, and you will know it then."

"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Daoist Zhan. I will definitely be here on time." Song Qingming said and bowed. With the warm farewell of the fat shopkeeper, he happily walked out of Huanyun Pavilion.

After returning to the rented cave, Shi Chun, who had been running outside for a day, also came back soon. After seeing Song Qingming, he shook his head gently and sat aside.

This time when he came to Guiyunfang, Song Qingming not only asked Shi Chun to help find a place to purchase talismans, but also gave him a task to find out whether Huang Siyuan had come here.
