Chapter 501 Seven Stars Square

The flying boat had just landed, and before everyone got off, an old man with a horse face and a foundation-building skill wearing a Taoist robe from the Xingchen Sect had already taken the initiative to greet them respectfully.

"Excuse me, seniors, are you here to attend the Xingchen Conference held by our sect?"

"We are from the Xiaoyao Sect of Wei State, and we are invited by your senior master to attend the conference. Please lead the way!" Yao Qianshu, who was standing in front, explained a little and threw a red invitation to the visitor.

After opening it and carefully checking it, the old man with a horse face from the Xingchen Sect immediately nodded and respectfully returned the invitation to Yao Qianshu, and then politely led everyone into the market.

The Seven Stars Market was built on a fourth-level spiritual vein. This market was much more prosperous than the Guiyun Market, the leading one in Wei State, and it was also the largest market in Wu State.

Because the Star Conference was about to be held, many cultivators from other places had gathered in the market, including local cultivators and family cultivators from Wu State, as well as many cultivators from other places like Song Qingming and others.

This lively scene of many cultivators from various sects was somewhat similar to the opening of the Taiyue Lake Secret Realm that Song Qingming experienced that year, except that the scale of the Star Conference was obviously much larger.

Because only foundation-building cultivators could enter the Taiyue Lake Secret Realm to search for treasures, almost all the cultivators who went to Wei State that year were foundation-building cultivators. Not long after Song Qingming entered the Seven Stars Market for this Star Conference, he had already seen several unfamiliar Jindan cultivators. It was obvious that the levels of the cultivators who came to participate were obviously different.

After entering the Seven Stars Market, Yao Qianshu declined the reception of the Star Sect cultivators and directly brought everyone to a shop called "Guyang Pavilion".

This shop has been operated by Xiaoyao Sect for thousands of years in Wu State. It is responsible for helping the sect to buy and sell spiritual objects in Wu State. Many of the monster materials obtained by Xiaoyao Sect during the monster rebellion have been transported here for sale. This is also an industry of Xiaoyao Sect outside.

In addition to trading various spiritual objects, "Guyang Pavilion" also provides various services such as accommodation for monks. It is a shop with a wide range of businesses. Generally, when monks from the sect come to Wu State, they will choose to live here first.

In addition to the dozens of Qi Refining disciples busy in the shop, the sect also arranges a foundation-building monk to be stationed here all year round. These people have already received the news that the elders of the sect are coming, and they have already made preparations and arranged people to wait at the door for the past few days. When they saw Song Qingming and other Jindan elders of the sect arrived at the door, they immediately welcomed them in.

"Disciple greets all the uncles and uncles." After taking Song Qingming and others to a private room on the second floor, an old man in a gray robe who was in the foundation-building stage immediately walked in.

The foundation-building disciple in charge of running "Guyang Pavilion" is named Wang Mengxiao. He is older than Song Qingming. When Song Qingming had just built his foundation, he had dealt with him because of his third brother Song Qingze's affairs. He was very impressed by Wang Mengxiao's secret method of finding people by blood, and he immediately thought of him when he saw him.

When Song Qingming met Wang Mengxiao, he was only at the second level of foundation-building, and Wang Mengxiao was already a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation-building. A hundred years have passed, and Song Qingming has become a famous Jindan cultivator, but Wang Mengxiao's cultivation has always remained in the late stage of foundation-building and has not made much progress. When the two met, they were both full of emotion.

For foundation-building cultivators like Wang Mengxiao who are over two hundred years old and have no path, the sect will not invest resources in them. Being sent to the sect's general affairs hall to run a shop in a large market like Wuguo, performing such tasks that are not dangerous and earn enough spirit stones for their daily cultivation, is actually a good choice for them.

After looking at Wang Mengxiao, Yao Qianshu smiled and waved his hand, and asked directly in front of everyone: "Business here seems to be good recently. It seems that you are also attentive. Have you got any news about the things I asked you to find out last month? Who did Wu invite to the Star Conference this time?"

The reason why Xiaoyao Sect arranged so many disciples in "Guyang Pavilion" is that in addition to running this store, they also have the task of helping the sect to find out information in secret. Many of the major events that happened in Wu Kingdom were also transmitted to Xiaoyao Sect thousands of miles away through "Guyang Pavilion".

"Reporting to the head master, since Xingchen Sect sent out invitations, all the major sects in more than a dozen countries around seem to have received the invitations. As of today, including us, more than a dozen monks from major sects have arrived at the Seven Stars Square.

The mist snow ice lotus that the master asked us to find out has indeed been confirmed. A few days ago, I found an opportunity to ask the shopkeeper Yang of the Seven Stars Tower. According to him, this pearl mist snow ice lotus was found by Xingchen Sect in Taiyue Lake more than 20 years ago, and the quality of the spiritual medicine should also be a third-grade middle-grade. This time, Xingchen Sect is very likely to put it directly on the auction in the last few days of the conference."

Hearing Wang Mengxiao's patient narration, Yao Qianshu's face suddenly showed a hint of joy.

"Well! You did a good job. This pearl mist snow ice lotus is very important to the sect. As long as you can successfully obtain it this time, the General Affairs Hall will give you a reward at your discretion. When you go down, you must keep an eye on the news related to this pearl spiritual medicine, and never let others get it first!"

The reason why Yao Qianshu, the head of Xiaoyao Sect, came to Wu Kingdom with his injuries was because he heard about the spiritual medicine "Mist and Snow Ice Lotus" from "Guyang Pavilion".

Since Yao Qianshu took the "Deer Soul Pill" forcibly to fight against the monsters for the sect in Zixingfang last time, his original injuries have worsened a bit, and he has also damaged a lot of his own blood and essence. It will take at least 20 years to recover normally.

For this reason, both Xiaoyao Sect and Yao Qianshu have been trying their best to find a way to help him recover from his injuries in advance. The "Mist and Snow Ice Lotus" that Yao Qianshu came to Qixingfang to find this time is a spiritual medicine that is extremely useful for treating his injuries. As long as he can successfully obtain this "Mist and Snow Ice Lotus", Yao Qianshu can at least shorten his healing time by about ten years.

However, even if Yao Qianshu could recover from his injuries in advance, the loss of his own blood and essence in his body would not be so easy to recover. Except for some rare spiritual objects in the world of immortal cultivation, there is almost no elixir that can return to the original state and quickly restore the blood and essence in the body of the cultivator.

In the world of immortal cultivation, the cultivators who can break through the Nascent Soul are basically before the age of 500. Yao Qianshu's life span is now close to 500 years. If he had not chosen to swallow the "Deer Soul Pill" back then, in theory, as long as he healed his injuries in time and waited until his injuries recovered, Yao Qianshu would still have the last chance to form a Nascent Soul.

Now, because the loss of blood and essence in his body cannot be recovered in a short time, Yao Qianshu's hope of breaking through the Nascent Soul is almost gone, but because he has taken some longevity elixirs, as a Jindan cultivator, Yao Qianshu still has about 70 to 80 years of life. As long as he can recover from his injuries in time and maintain the peak state of a Jindan cultivator for decades, Yao Qianshu can still do it.

After Wang Mengxiao left, Yao Qianshu said softly to everyone in the room: "This Star Conference is estimated to start in more than ten days. If you are bored, you can go to the market, but don't leave the Seven Stars Square casually, so as not to find anyone for a while.

After all, this is under the jurisdiction of the Star Gate, not your own territory. Don't cause trouble when you go out, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to yourself."

After hearing Yao Qianshu's instructions, everyone present hurriedly responded and then retreated together.

After coming out of Yao Qianshu's room, Song Qingming went down the second floor alone, wanting to go to the market first to see what kind of good things there are in a big market like the Seven Stars Square.

The reason why Yao Qianshu invited Song Qingming to come to Wu this time was that he wanted to take him out to see some Jindan masters in the cultivation world around Weiguo, and to meet more cultivators of the same level, which would naturally be beneficial to his future path.

After the monster war, Song Qingming made great contributions to the sect by killing the White Lion Demon King and repelling the monster army of Jinshanfang. He was also an important contributor to the Xiaoyao Sect's smooth survival of the monster war. Some Jindan elders in the Xiaoyao Sect gradually changed their attitudes towards him.

Sect leader Yao Qianshu's attitude towards Song Qingming also changed very quickly. Not only did he take good care of this guest elder, he also had some ideas in his mind to directly bring Song Qingming into the sect. However, because the sect's supreme elder Li Mufeng was still a little afraid of the master behind Song Qingming, he was still unable to make up his mind on this matter.

"Junior Brother Song, are you going out for a walk?" Just when Song Qingming had just walked to the door of "Guyang Pavilion", a clear voice suddenly came from behind him, causing him to turn around and stop.

Seeing Bai Yuxian walking towards him, Song Qingming was also a little surprised. He quickly bowed and replied: "Sister Bai, you are polite. This is my first time to a big market like Qixingfang. I can't help my curiosity and want to go out to the street to have a look."

"This is also my first time to Wu State. If you don't mind, why don't you take me for a walk?" Bai Yuxian said, and she had already walked in front of Song Qingming, waiting for his reply with expectation.

Facing Bai Yuxian who was already close at hand, Song Qingming looked a little embarrassed. He was stunned for a moment before saying: "Sister Bai, don't be ridiculous. Senior sister, if you don't despise me, I am giving you face. How dare I say the word despise in front of you."

Hearing the answer she expected, Bai Yuxian showed a satisfied smile on her face.

"Then it's settled. I saw several interesting shops on the way here just now. Junior brother, please accompany me to have a look first!"
