Chapter 504: The Path to Immortality, the Star Conference (Long Chapter)

Seeing Song Qingming also looking at him, Chu Fengping showed a trace of regret on his face, and said softly: "Junior Brother Song, you don't know that I now have some third-level low-grade elixirs. The only one you know, the Bailu Pill, was directly refined by me two years ago.

If I'm not mistaken, you should have one left. This old monster Mo took out so many good things to exchange for this thing. This is a good opportunity. Junior brother, you should try to send a message quickly, don't let others get it first."

Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately nodded slightly, and directly cast a secret message to the old monster Mo on the stage that only he could hear.

"Bailu Pill" Song Qingming had already taken one before, and the remaining one was not very useful to him. The reason why he brought this pill with him when he came to Wu this time was actually that he had already intended to see if he could exchange it for some other spiritual objects here.

In addition to Song Qingming, there were five or six people at the scene who had also sent voice transmissions to Mo Laoguai. After hearing these voice transmissions, Mo Laoguai's face did not change. It was not until the voice transmission sent by Song Qingming entered his ears that he slowly raised his head and looked at the location of the Xiaoyao Sect.

"Who is Fellow Daoist Song? Please come up and talk to me in detail."

Hearing Mo Laoguai's words, Song Qingming was also delighted. He quickly stood up and walked to Mo Laoguai's side under the gazes of everyone.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, I am polite!"

After lightly glancing at Song Qingming, Mo Laoguai waved his hand and cast a circular barrier directly, isolating Song Qingming and himself from the people sitting outside.

At this kind of exchange meeting, although most of them are acquaintances, in order to prevent being spotted by others after going out, most cultivators will try to be more concealed when trading precious spiritual objects.

"Fellow Daoist Song, let me see the Bailu Pill you just mentioned! As long as the quality of the pill is good, you can choose any two of these spiritual objects to take away."

Hearing what Mo Laoguai said, Song Qingming gently swiped the jade pendant on his waist with his left hand, took out a purple wooden box, and threw it directly to Mo Laoguai in front of him.

After a while, Mo Laoguai, who confirmed that there was no problem with the pill in the box, nodded slightly at Song Qingming, put the "Bailu Pill" directly into his bag, and then pointed to the many spiritual objects in front of him and chuckled: "Fellow Daoist, just tell me what you want. I remind you in advance that you can't regret it after you choose it!"

Song Qingming, who had been carefully observing Mo Laoguai, saw that he had confirmed that there was no problem with his spiritual objects, so he put his eyes on the seven or eight spiritual objects next to him.

Among the seven or eight spiritual objects that Mo Laoguai took out, the quality was all of the third-level middle and lower spiritual objects, and the most valuable one was a third-level middle-quality flying sword magic weapon.

As expected by Old Monster Mo, Song Qingming walked forward and decisively picked out the flying sword with the highest value among the many spiritual objects.

The value of this third-level middle-grade flying sword alone is almost 20,000 spiritual stones, which is not much lower than the "Bailu Pill" that Song Qingming took out. No matter which spiritual object he chooses next, this deal will definitely not be a loss for Song Qingming.

After that, Song Qingming hesitated for a moment, and did not directly choose the third-level lower-grade defense magic weapon with a higher value, but directly picked a third-level middle-grade defense magic talisman that seemed to be quite useful.

The defense ability of Song Qingming's life magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" has exceeded that of the general third-level lower-grade defense magic weapon. For Song Qingming, adding another defense magic weapon will not increase the effect in the battle.

A level 3 middle-grade defensive talisman is worth about 8,000 spiritual stones. Although it is slightly less valuable than a level 3 low-grade defensive magic weapon, it can help him easily block a powerful attack from a mid-stage Jindan cultivator at any time. This use is still more important to Song Qingming at present.

Since Song Qingming formed his elixir, he has always wanted to equip himself with two high-grade defensive talismans for emergencies, but he has been unable to break through the third level in his talisman-making skills and has no way to draw such talismans.

In the past few years, Xiaoyao Sect had to deal with the monster turmoil, and the Good Merit Pavilion had long been free of such spiritual objects. It was not until the monster turmoil ended that Song Qingming used some spiritual objects from Li Wutong to exchange for a level 3 low-grade defensive talisman for self-defense.

This time, he was able to directly exchange for a level 3 middle-grade defensive talisman, even if he suffered a little loss in spiritual stones, Song Qingming was willing in his heart.

Seeing that Song Qingming had actually chosen a lower-level, mid-grade defensive talisman, Mo Laoguai showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then asked, "Has Daoyou already chosen?"

"Yes, I only want these two spiritual objects, Daoyou Mo can put away the other spiritual objects."

Seeing Song Qingming nod to confirm his choice, Mo Laoguai's face slowly returned to calm, and he waved to put away the other spiritual objects in front of him.

"Daoyou Mo, wait! I have something else to ask you." When Mo Laoguai was about to remove the barrier around the two of them, Song Qingming suddenly interrupted him.

"Daoyou Song, you have just experienced the things, is there any other problem?" Hearing that Song Qingming still had questions, Mo Laoguai frowned and turned around to reply.

Seeing that Old Monster Mo had some misunderstanding, Song Qingming hurriedly bowed and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Mo, you have misunderstood. I just learned that you have traveled to other immortal realms before, so I want to ask you something. It has nothing to do with the transaction just now. Please don't worry."

"Since you didn't want to take advantage of me just now, you can tell me what you are asking first. As for whether I can answer you, hehe, it depends on whether I know what you are asking."

"Of course, I just want to ask Fellow Daoist Mo about a place. This place may be located in other immortal realms. I wonder if you have heard of it when you were traveling outside."

After a while, as Old Monster Mo removed the barrier outside the two of them, Song Qingming bowed to him and retreated directly to sit in his seat.

After completing the transaction with Old Monster Mo and Song Qingming, they did not choose to stay and continue to participate in the discussion and exchange activities to be carried out below. After saying hello to Cheng Bufan on the side, they left the hall and walked down the Dengyun Tower.

"Junior Brother Song, how is it, what good stuff did you get just now?" As soon as Song Qingming sat back in his original place, a voice came to his ear. It was Chu Fengping who persuaded him to go over and trade with Mo Laoguai at the beginning.

Seeing the curious eyes of several senior brothers, Song Qingming directly told everyone the spiritual objects he had just chosen.

Hearing his choice, the Xiaoyao Sect members were not surprised. They also knew the cultivation method of Song Qingming and naturally knew the function of his life treasure "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".

Choosing a higher-level defensive talisman, for Song Qingming, a Jindan cultivator who has been practicing for hundreds of years, although it would lose some spiritual stones, it would add a powerful means of life-saving, which is also difficult to measure completely with spiritual stones.

The reason why high-level talismans above level three are not as easy to buy in the market as level two talismans is mainly because the materials needed to draw such high-level talismans are very difficult to obtain. The fur of level three demon kings and spiritual herbs with a medicinal age of more than a thousand years are needed as the main materials. These spiritual objects are not something that a sect can easily find in a short period of time.

Even if there is a level three middle-grade talisman maker like Li Wutong in Xiaoyao Sect, he does not always have materials to draw high-level talismans. Since Li Wutong's talisman making technique broke through the third level for more than two hundred years, the total number of level three talismans he has drawn is only more than twenty. The average number of Jindan elders in Xiaoyao Sect can only be divided into two at most.

This is not only the case in Weiguo, where spiritual resources are relatively scarce. The situation is not much better in dozens of countries around the Floating Cloud Mountains, even in a large country with relatively abundant resources like Wuguo. In the Qixingfang, except for some limited auxiliary talismans that can be bought in the market, other talismans with greater functions are also difficult to exchange with spiritual stones here.

After the exchange meeting, under the organization of Cheng Bufan, many Jindan cultivators present began to exchange ideas in groups.

During this period, Song Qingming not only met many cultivators of the same level outside Weiguo, but also gained a lot of different cultivation experiences from exchanging cultivation experiences with everyone. Participating in such a discussion gathering of cultivators of the same level can also be of great help to Song Qingming, who is often used to practicing alone.

This discussion exchange meeting lasted from the evening until the next morning, and many Jindan cultivators who came to participate in the gathering left reluctantly.

After returning to his residence, Song Qingming first took out the flying sword magic weapon he had exchanged from Mo Laoguai before, and took a closer look. This flying sword magic weapon was called "Mo Bai", which was made by Mo Laoguai himself in his early years.

The quality of the "Mobai Sword" is higher than the "Qingliu Sword" that Song Qingming is currently refining. It is already a third-level medium-grade magic weapon. After obtaining this magic weapon, Song Qingming's future fighting ability will be immediately improved.

Because he has practiced the "Five Elements Shield Light Needle", Song Qingming can also use this magical power to increase the power of the magic weapon in his hand at any time during the battle. With the help of the magic weapon "Mobai Sword", Song Qingming, who has now broken through the second level of the Golden Core, should be able to easily win if he faces an opponent like the White Lion Demon King who is in the early stage of the Golden Core and has no powerful magical powers.

After putting away the "Mobai Sword", Song Qingming sat down to rest for a while, and took out a piece of paper with the two big characters "Mo Xuan" written on it. This is the real name of the old monster Mo who traded with Song Qingming at the exchange meeting, and he also wrote it to Song Qingming personally.

At the exchange meeting, when Song Qingming heard Li Wutong say that this old monster Mo had left the immortal world of Fuyun Mountain and traveled for two hundred years, he immediately thought that this person must be knowledgeable and know many places in the immortal world.

When he finally completed the transaction with old monster Mo, Song Qingming casually asked him about the two place names he had obtained in the "Yuxuan Sutra".

"Yuxuan Mountain, Taixu Palace."

However, it was a pity that although old monster Mo had traveled to many places in Donghuang Xianzhou in recent years, he had never heard of the two place names mentioned by Song Qingming. At the last moment, perhaps because he still had a good impression of Song Qingming, old monster Mo picked up a pen and wrote him a note.

He claimed that there was a place in the Donghuang Kingdom where he might be able to find out what Song Qingming wanted to know. If Song Qingming really wanted to go there in the future, he could take the note in his hand with him. Maybe it would be helpful to Song Qingming at that time.

Song Qingming was very grateful for Mo Laoguai's kindness. Since he got the two place names in the "Yuxuan Sutra", Song Qingming had also asked Xiaoyao Sect's more familiar Jindan elders about it from the side. As a result, without exception, they had never heard of this place.

Even Chen Xuanxin, who liked to travel and meet fellow Taoists, had no impression of the two place names given by Song Qingming. According to what they said, it is estimated that these two places either do not exist at all, or may not be in Donghuang Xianzhou, but in the immortal world of other continents.

The immortal world where Song Qingming is located is called Yuxingjie.

In addition to the Donghuang Xianzhou continent where the Floating Cloud Mountains are located, there are other large land islands in the Yuxing Realm, with a total of nine large cultivation realms. Because the distance between them is very far, it is almost difficult for the cultivation realms of each state to directly contact each other, and they can only rely on giant inter-state teleportation arrays to connect with each other.

Donghuang Xianzhou and the two nearby Fengling Sea and Nanyue Xianzhou have several inter-state teleportation arrays that can be directly connected. There are often cultivators from other cultivation realms who take the teleportation array to travel in Donghuang Xianzhou.

However, this large-scale long-distance teleportation array in Donghuang Xianzhou is basically controlled by several major sects in Donghuang Country. It costs a lot of spirit stones to use it once. Generally, cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building realms basically cannot afford it. Only high-level cultivators above the Jindan realm can take the teleportation array to travel between several cultivation realms.

The reason why Song Qingming was so interested in these two places was mainly because of the incomplete "Yuxuan Sutra" in his hand. Since he accidentally obtained this set of exercises in Guiyunfang more than a hundred years ago, as Song Qingming's cultivation gradually increased, he also felt more and more the mystery of this set of exercises.

He can become a Jindan cultivator today. In addition to the personal opportunities he encountered in cultivation over the years, the "Yuxuan Sutra" set of exercises that helped Song Qingming the most was still the "Yuxuan Sutra".

Even though he no longer has the subsequent exercises of the "Yuxuan Sutra" in the Jindan period, Song Qingming has now switched to the "Five Elements Xuan Gang Jue", but the magical powers of the "Yuxuan Sutra" that he has been practicing for many years can still help him now.

It's just that without the subsequent exercises of the Jindan period, the current role of the "Yuxuan Sutra" will definitely become more and more limited in the future as Song Qingming's cultivation improves, which also makes Song Qingming now eager to go out and find the answer to the last few words left to him in the Yuxuan Sutra.

After a hundred years of cultivation, Song Qingming has improved his cultivation from a small Qi-refining cultivator with ordinary qualifications to successfully building a foundation, and now he has entered the Golden Elixir Avenue. The goals that Song Qingming pursued in his heart have also changed a lot in the past hundred years.

When he was still in the Qi-refining stage, a small Qi-refining bandit cultivator in Yingchao Ridge almost took Song Qingming's life. At that time, Song Qingming's cultivation was just to have more self-protection power so that he could walk in this dangerous world of immortal cultivation.

After building the foundation, Song Qingming suddenly became the person who carried all the hopes of the entire family's development. His goal was no longer limited to protecting himself, but to find ways to protect the entire family to develop and grow with all their strength. Even though Song Qingming had a hard time and encountered many dangers for this, his goal in his heart has always been very firm over the years.

After more than a hundred years of hard work by several generations of cultivators in Funiu Mountain, the Song family has now been promoted to a Jindan Immortal Clan. There are five foundation-building cultivators in the family alone, and they are still developing steadily step by step. They are no longer the weak family of immortal cultivation that can only rely on Song Qingming alone.

Song Qingming, who has now become the Jindan ancestor in the mouths of others, if his eyes are only on a small place like Jiangling County in Weiguo, then Song Qingming's current cultivation is enough for him to enjoy a few hundred years of comfortable life in peace, and there is no need to go out and take risks to find the opportunity to become a Taoist.

But with the improvement of the realm of cultivation, Song Qingming's Tao heart and goals in his heart have gradually shifted to his own Tao path.

Since his family tested his spiritual roots and took him to Funiu Mountain to practice when he was a child, Song Qingming, like most children who have just embarked on the path of immortal cultivation, also yearns for the colorful world outside, and dreams of becoming a fairy who can fly and hide in the sky, and walk between heaven and earth without worries.

Even though Song Qingming is now a Jindan cultivator, his life span is only five or six hundred years. The world of immortal cultivation is so vast, and there are so many beautiful sights in the world that Song Qingming wants to see. He doesn't want to practice for a lifetime, but end up staying in this small place of Weiguo.

Even though he is still far away from this step, Song Qingming's heart has unknowingly begun to turn to the legendary longevity path.

Since his spiritual root talent was far inferior to others, he could still surpass those genius cultivators to successfully form a pill, so no matter how difficult the longevity path is, he will definitely have a chance to touch it.

All living things have spirits, whether they are human cultivators or demon beasts, even those who practice evil arts, as long as they can finally practice and achieve enlightenment, they have the opportunity to ascend to the upper realm. In the history of Yuxing Realm for more than 100,000 years, the cultivators who can ascend to the upper realm and enjoy immortality are not all geniuses.

After participating in the exchange meeting in Dengyun Tower, Song Qingming used the "Bailu Pill" in his hand to exchange for two spiritual objects that were very useful to him at once, and he was very happy.

It's a pity that Song Qingming didn't encounter such a good opportunity in the next ten days. He could only go to the Seven Stars Square alone to buy some spiritual objects unique to the Wu Kingdom when he participated in the exchange meeting of cultivators of the same level.

——

More than half a month later, with the sound of several crisp bells in the market, the mountain protection formation in the Seven Stars Square immediately started, and the Star Conference that everyone in the market had been waiting for for a long time finally began.

This Star Conference is a trade fair hosted by the Wu Kingdom Star Gate, which invited monks from more than a dozen surrounding countries to the Seven Stars Square. During this period, many independent cultivators who live near the Wu Kingdom will also come here to participate.

The Star Conference will be held for a total of ten days. The first seven days are the time for free trading in the market. In order to attract the monks who participate in the Star Conference, all the shops in the Seven Stars Square will be specially opened. Some rare and precious materials that are rarely seen in the market are also brought in from other surrounding countries.

Since the Star Gate released the news of the conference a few months ago, tens of thousands of monks have come to the Seven Stars Square. With the appearance of many rare and precious spiritual objects, the whole market has become lively all of a sudden.

Whether it is a casual cultivator or a foreign cultivator from another country, as long as they hand in ten spirit stones at the entrance of the market, they can enter and buy and sell the spiritual objects they need. During this period, the spiritual objects sold by all the shops and stalls in the Seven Stars Market will be supervised by the law enforcement cultivators arranged by the Star Gate to prevent all fraudulent behaviors in the conference.

During the Star Conference, a Yuanying Supreme Elder of the Star Gate will also be stationed in the Seven Stars Market. Anyone who dares to make trouble during this period will be directly expelled from the market, and even face severe punishment from the Star Gate.

By holding such a Star Conference, the Star Gate can earn tens of thousands of spirit stones a day just by collecting the participation fees from these cultivators to enter the market. In addition to the income from these shops in the market, if everything goes well, the Star Gate can easily earn hundreds of thousands of spirit stones by holding such a conference.

However, Xingchen Sect invited so many monks from the surrounding big sects to come and support the event, so naturally they had to bring out a lot of good things. Otherwise, so many high-level monks would have to go back empty-handed, and the next Xingchen Conference would definitely not have such a good effect.

In the previous few days of the trade fair, the "Guyang Pavilion" opened by Xiaoyao Sect was also very busy. Most of the low-level disciples of Xiaoyao Sect were arranged to go out to buy low-level spiritual objects needed by the sect, and prepare to transport them back to the sect after the conference.

Yao Qianshu and other Xiaoyao Sect Jindan elders, they would not have any interest in such low-level spiritual objects, and they have been staying in Guyang Pavilion, basically not showing up. Only Song Qingming was a little unlucky and was caught by Bai Yuxian to go out for a walk.

Fortunately, Song Qingming also had some experience this time. Facing this active-minded Senior Sister Bai, he was able to speak up at any time to deal with it. The two of them walked around the market, and unexpectedly, Bai Yuxian, who was very lucky, picked up a buried third-level array plate in a small stall.

The seller was an elderly Qi-refining casual cultivator. Because this third-level array disk was a bit worn out, and part of it was damaged, the spiritual energy had long been lost, and it looked like an inconspicuous high-level material.

Even for a well-trained foundation-building cultivator, unless he was a high-level array master, it would be difficult to identify the value of this item in his hands at once. A Qi-refining cultivator with a low level of cultivation like the stall owner could not possibly know the true value of this array disk.
