Chapter 394: Sword Competition

Hearing the discussion of the monks sitting nearby, Song Qingming immediately knew that the man above was the ancestor of the Ma family of Tiexian Valley.

The Ma family of Tiexian Valley is indeed a special existence in Weiguo. Since the previous generation of the Ma family master successfully formed the elixir hundreds of years ago, although the Ma family has publicly announced that they are still attached to Xiaoyao Sect, Xiaoyao Sect has almost never intervened in anything that happened in their one-third acre of land in the past few hundred years.

Because it is located in the northwest of Weiguo, Tiexian Valley is very close to Chen State in the west in addition to Weiguo. It is said that the relationship between the Ma family and the Danyang Sect of Chen State is also very close, and it is not known whether it is true or false.

After Ma Hongshan sat down, he first greeted Chen Jinliang with a smile, and then closed his eyes slightly and began to sit on the high platform with his eyes closed to rest.

After about an incense stick of time, most of the monks who came to Tuoyun Mountain to participate in the trade fair had already arrived at the flat ground on the top of the mountain. At this time, a tall red flying boat suddenly appeared in the sky and flew quickly towards the top of Tuoyun Mountain.

The first person to see this movement in the sky was Chen Jinliang, who was sitting at the top. At this moment, he had already taken the initiative to stand up, walked around the long table in front of him and strode to the front of the wooden platform with an expectant look on his face.

"Where did this monk come from? He is so impressive that even Patriarch Chen has to come out to greet him in person?"

As everyone talked about it, the red flying boat quickly arrived at the top of Tuoyun Mountain. Soon, four or five figures flew down from the flying boat and landed on the top wooden platform.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I am a step late. I hope you don't mind!" As a voice came, a man in green clothes among the people who landed on the wooden platform came forward and bowed to Chen Jinliang.

Seeing the newcomer, Chen Jinliang immediately smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, you are too polite. The trade fair has not started yet. You have come at the right time. Please take a seat."

"Am I seeing this correctly? This is the Xiaoyao Sect's Jindan Elder Chu Fengping?"

"A cultivator from the Xiaoyao Sect would come to Tuoyun Mountain's exchange fair so brazenly. What on earth is going on?"

Seeing the man in green sitting on the right side of Chen Jinliang, the cultivators who were already a little noisy began to talk again. Many cultivators in the crowd who did not know the reason began to speculate on the purpose of the Xiaoyao Sect's Jindan Elder coming to Tuoyun Mountain.

Even Huang Shengxin, who was sitting next to Song Qingming, was puzzled at this time. He looked at Chu Fengping above and then at Chen Jinliang sitting next to him. After a long time, he was still puzzled and could only shake his head gently.

Since Chen Jinliang formed a golden elixir and occupied the third-level spiritual vein of Tuoyun Mountain, he has never been tempted by Xiaoyao Sect's repeated attempts to win him over over the past few hundred years. He has always maintained his status as a casual cultivator and has been sticking to Tuoyun Mountain with his disciples, hoping to create his own foundation here.

In recent years, the several spiritual vein markets occupied by Tuoyun Mountain and Chen Jinliang's disciples have swallowed up many markets in Guiyunfang, the largest market in the north of Xiaoyao Sect. For this reason, several golden elixir elders in Xiaoyao Sect have long been dissatisfied with Tuoyun Mountain.

However, Xiaoyao Sect did not suppress Tuoyun Mountain because the Supreme Elder Li Mufeng had always wanted to win over Chen Jinliang to fight against the threat of the northern monsters.

In theory, although Xiaoyao Sect has not torn its face with Tuoyun Mountain on the surface, its disciples will hardly appear near Tuoyun Mountain without special tasks.

This grand event held once every few decades at Tuoyun Mountain actually invited Chu Fengping, the Jindan elder, to attend in person, which really confused the cultivators present.

The several foundation-building cultivators who followed Chu Fengping were also elite disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect. Among them, there was a very handsome man in gray. Song Qingming looked familiar. It took him a while to remember that he had seen this man before at the Tiandan League auction.

After Chu Fengping and others sat down, Chen Jinliang, smiling, suddenly took the initiative to step forward and said to the many cultivators below:

"Dear Daoists, you have come to my Tuoyun Mountain today, which is also a favor to me. My Tuoyun Mountain has been preparing for this trade fair for many years, and we have all kinds of spiritual objects. You can feel free to buy them later.

In addition, I have two important things to announce. First, in the last three days of this trade fair, a sword-fighting competition will be held here. I will take out several rare spiritual objects as rewards for those who perform well in this sword-fighting competition. All cultivators present can go to the stage to register and participate.

The sword-fighting competition is just to give everyone an opportunity to learn from cultivators of the same level. You must not hurt the lives of your opponents. No fees will be charged to cultivators who take the initiative to participate. Please feel free to participate."

Hearing Chen Jinliang suddenly say that a sword-fighting competition will be held in Tuoyun Mountain, many cultivators below instantly showed a trace of surprise.

Since this old ancestor Chen occupied Tuoyun Mountain, he has held five or six large-scale trade fairs. Although there are some slight differences each time, it is the first time in history that a sword-fighting competition is held and spiritual objects are given away for free to allow many cultivators to participate.

Hearing this somewhat shocking news, not only the Qi Refining cultivators below began to get excited, but also the Foundation Establishment cultivators sitting on wooden chairs on the second-floor platform all showed a hint of excitement.

Before the many cultivators below calmed down, Chen Jinliang spoke calmly: "This second thing is actually very beneficial to everyone present.

I have discussed with Master Yao of Xiaoyao Sect some time ago that we will build a new large market on Tuoyun Mountain in the future, and we will jointly manage this new market.

From today on, whether it is a casual cultivator, a major immortal cultivation family, or a fellow Taoist of Xiaoyao Sect, you can come to the new market on Tuoyun Mountain to do business. I also ask all Taoists to help us promote it after attending the trade fair. I would like to thank you in advance."

Compared with the first news, the second thing Chen Jinliang said obviously surprised the cultivators present.

"I didn't expect that this old ancestor Chen would take the initiative to cooperate with Xiaoyao Sect and let the other party extend its power into Tuoyun Mountain. It's no wonder that today, the Jindan elder of Xiaoyao Sect, Chu Fengping, would take the initiative to show up at the Tuoyun Mountain Trade Fair."

If Chen Jinliang chose to join Xiaoyao Sect when he was young, he would definitely get more cultivation resources and opportunities, which would allow him to make further progress in cultivation.

But Chen Jinliang has never thought about this in all these years of cultivation. He always thought that he could practice freely without being constrained by the sect. For this reason, he naturally lost many shortcuts in cultivation on the way.

The Jindan of a casual cultivator practices alone, whether it is spiritual veins, exercises or various cultivation resources, is very different from the Jindan elders of a large sect like Xiaoyao Sect that has been established for thousands of years.

Since he did not choose to rely on the sect when he was young, the life span of the old ancestor Chen is already insufficient, and there is no opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm. At this time, it is really meaningless for him to join Xiaoyao Sect. It seems that he is also paving the way for his disciples.

After Chen Laozu finished his two sentences and walked away, Feng Yangde, who had been standing aside, walked quickly to the front again.

"Dear Taoists, this Tuoyun Mountain Trade Fair will be held for a total of seven days. The rules are the same as before. Fellow Taoists, feel free to purchase any spiritual objects you want. If you don't have enough spiritual stones, you can also go to Jinyun Pavilion to exchange spiritual objects for spiritual stones.

Several registration locations for the Sword Discussion Conference will be set up in the back. This conference will be divided into two groups according to cultivation. Whether you are a foundation-building Taoist or a Qi-refining cultivator, you can go directly to register in the first four days. You can no longer participate after the Sword Discussion Conference begins. Please don't miss the time."

As Feng Yangde walked away with a smile, the Tuoyun Mountain Trade Fair officially began. Like the Bailong Mountain Conference that Song Qingming participated in, the trade fair held in Tuoyun Mountain also divided many spiritual objects into small stalls, distributed on this wide platform on the top of the mountain.

These stalls divide the various spiritual objects in the world of immortal cultivation into different categories, and then spread them on different stalls according to the level of the spiritual objects. All kinds of spiritual objects can basically be found here, including elixirs, magic tools, talismans, manuals on exercises, materials for monsters, etc.

Moreover, compared with the Bailongshan Conference, the Tuoyunshan Trade Fair has much higher quantity and quality of spiritual objects. Even the second-level top-grade spiritual pills that Song Qing could not see in the Tiandan Pavilion before can be seen here.

Moreover, during the Tuoyunshan Trade Fair, various new spiritual objects will appear every other day. Even if you can't find what you want today, you can still buy it as long as you are lucky tomorrow.

After Song Qingming looked at the trade fair for a while, he soon saw a set of array plates that suited him very well on the second floor where the second-level and above foundation-building spiritual objects were placed.

This set of array plates is of very good quality, and it also comes with a set of array flags of the same level. The quality is all second-level top-grade magic tools, which is completely enough to refine the second-level medium-grade spirit gathering array.

However, the price of the second-level top-grade array plate was indeed not low. After hearing the price of 2,500 spirit stones reported by the stall clerk, Song Qingming was still a little surprised. After hesitating for a while, he chose to leave.

There were not many array masters above the second level in the world of immortal cultivation. This set of array plates should not be so easy to sell here. After thinking about it, Song Qingming decided to look for a second-level medium-grade array plate with a lower price.

Unfortunately, two days passed, and Song Qingming still didn't see a suitable one after turning around in the trade fair. He could only grit his teeth and go back to buy the array plate.

"Fellow Daoist Song, you look so unhappy. Is there something wrong with the spiritual object you bought? Jinyun Pavilion will guarantee all the spiritual objects sold at our Tuoyun Mountain Trade Fair.

If you think there is really something wrong with the spiritual object in your hand, you can take it directly to Jinyu Pavilion and ask them to help identify it again. As long as there is a quality problem, Jinyun Pavilion will return the spiritual stone to you."

Looking at Feng Yangde, who was smiling and walking towards him step by step, Song Qingming slowly put away the array plate in his hand and smiled bitterly:

"Fellow Daoist Feng misunderstood. I wanted to find a lower quality array plate, but I couldn't find a suitable one after searching for a long time. I just spent more spirit stones to buy a more expensive one. Now my spirit stones are almost gone. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"If you are afraid that you will see a spiritual object you like and don't have enough spirit stones, Fellow Daoist Song can also go to Jinyun Pavilion first to see if you can exchange some extra spiritual objects for some spirit stones. Many fellow Daoists will encounter this kind of thing every time there is a trade fair.

Fellow Daoist Song, rest assured that the price of spiritual objects purchased by Jinyun Pavilion will not be much different from the price offered by the market outside. This is also to facilitate everyone to buy the spiritual objects they want at the trade fair."

Song Qingming nodded gently and said, "This is my first time to participate in the trade fair. I really don't know a lot. Thank you for reminding me, Fellow Daoist Feng."

After hearing Feng Yangde's intentional reminder, Song Qingming quickly walked down from the platform on the top of the mountain and arrived outside the Jinyu Pavilion in the market. Unlike when Song Qingming and Huang Shengyue came a few days ago, the number of people coming and going in Jinyun Pavilion at this moment was several times more than before.

As soon as Song Qingming entered the door, he was looking for someone to ask, but he bumped into an old acquaintance by accident. This person was Fang Wuqian, who had gone to the Fuyun Mountains with him to explore the cave a few years ago.

"Fang Daoyou, I haven't seen you for several years. I never thought that you and I would meet here. It's really fate!"

Fang Wuqian saw that Song Qingming's face was not surprised, but rather a little happy. He pulled Song Qingming aside and chatted.

"Song Daoyou is not searching for spiritual objects on the top of the mountain now, but came to Jinyun Pavilion. Could it be that he is here to take spiritual objects like me?" After the two chatted for a few words, Fang Wuqian remembered to ask Song Qingming why he came to Jinyun Pavilion today.

Song Qingming nodded and said, "Fang Daoyou is right. I spent a lot of spiritual stones at the trade fair two days ago. Today, I am short of money, so I came to Jinyun Pavilion to take a look. This is also my first time to attend the trade fair. I don't know what spiritual objects Jinyun Pavilion recycles. Can Fang Daoyou teach me a thing or two?"

"Alas! I don't dare to teach you. This is the first time for Song Daoyou to come here. It is normal that he doesn't know some things. Speaking of Jinyun Pavilion in Tuoyun Mountain, Patriarch Chen has been running it for hundreds of years. It is now the largest store in the northern cultivation world of Weiguo.

However, Jinyun Pavilion doesn't usually accept everything. Don't be fooled by the fact that anyone can come in now. That's because there is a trade fair on the top of the mountain. In order to facilitate everyone to exchange spiritual stones, Jinyun Pavilion has specially invited many shopkeepers who can identify spiritual objects from various places.

After Jinyun Pavilion accepts these spiritual objects, they will directly take them to the trade fair on the top of the mountain to sell them the next day. They can also earn a lot of spiritual stones from this buying and selling. "

"I see! I was wondering why there are so many new spiritual objects at the trade fair every day. It turns out that these are also brought by the monks who participate in the trade fair."
