Chapter 70: Heavenly Umbrella

After getting the information he wanted, Song Qingming hid in his cave for the next few days to avoid unnecessary trouble, patiently waiting for the Bailong Mountain Conference to arrive.

It was not until more than ten days later that Song Qingming, who was practicing in the cave, suddenly felt a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy on the entire Baiyun Mountain.

Seeing this, Song Qingming quickly withdrew his magic power, stopped practicing, and walked out of the cave.

As soon as he arrived outside the cave, Song Qingming saw the monks who rented several caves nearby, all ran out one by one, and looked at the sky above Bailong Mountain at the same time.

Song Qingming followed the gazes of the crowd and saw a huge semicircular purple light shield appearing in the sky, covering the entire Bailong Mountain in the light shield.

"What's going on? What happened? Why did the mountain protection formation suddenly start?" A middle-aged purple monk saw the light shield in the sky and instantly knew that this was the mountain protection formation of Bailong Mountain, and said with some confusion.

"Fellow Daoist, I can see that this is your first time to attend the Bailongshan Conference. The activation of the mountain protection formation actually means that the Bailongshan Conference has begun. Fellow Daoists, hurry to the market. Don't waste time and miss the spiritual objects you want."

Another older white-robed cultivator explained with his hands behind his back, then left everyone behind and walked quickly towards the market.

Soon, including Song Qingming, many people followed this person and headed towards the market.

Along the way, Song Qingming saw that he had not left the cave for more than ten days, and there were many more cultivators outside.

After arriving at the market, it had completely changed compared to more than ten days ago. Rows of shops had closed their doors, and the cultivators on the street followed the flow of people to a huge open space of several hundred feet to the east of the market.

This open space is very large. Hundreds of tables are arranged in a circle around the open space. There are many various spiritual objects on them. There is also a high platform in the middle of the venue. Two monks are sitting in the middle of the high platform. There are also hundreds of various spiritual objects with abundant spiritual energy on the platform.

The spiritual objects on the circle formed by hundreds of tables below are all placed by various shops in the market. For this Bailongshan Conference, these shops have also taken out their final treasures.

The spiritual objects on the high platform in the middle are the owner of the Bailongshan market. The spiritual objects taken out by the Bailong Pavilion, and the two people sitting on the high platform are the two foundation-building monks of Bailongshan.

One of these two people has white hair and beard, and seems to be quite old. The other looks younger, wearing a crown and jade, wearing brocade clothes, dressed like a son of a noble family.

Both of them were mid-stage foundation-building cultivators. The older one was named Wang Beiyue, a 160-year-old casual foundation-building cultivator. Although his cultivation was not very high among the foundation-building cultivators, he had been building his foundation for more than a hundred years and had rich experience in fighting.

The other young cultivator was called Lin Yutang. Although his cultivation was the lowest among the three foundation-building cultivators in Bailong Mountain, his magical powers were not much lower than those of veteran foundation-building cultivators like Wang Beiyue.

The most important thing was that Lin Yutang had a master in the Jindan period behind him, which was not comparable to the other two casual cultivators. When several foundation-building cultivators in Bailong Mountain Market discussed things, they often took this person as the main person.

When Song Qingming arrived here, there were already hundreds of cultivators gathered in the square, and many cultivators were rushing here anxiously.

After another half a quarter of an hour, the absolute majority of cultivators who came to Bailong Mountain Market had almost gathered here. At this time, the entire venue was full of cultivators.

Some cultivators have already gathered around the merchants in the outer market to buy the spiritual objects they like. Song Qingming also found a place with less people and started shopping.

This Bailongshan Conference really has a lot of good things. Song Qingming has only visited more than a dozen tables and has already harvested a lot of materials for making talismans that are usually difficult to buy in Guiyunfang.

It is not difficult to purchase ordinary talisman materials in Guiyunfang, but some materials for making rare spiritual talismans depend on luck. The two materials that Song Qingming just bought have not been found in Guiyunfang for more than a year, but he didn't expect to find them here.

"Daoyou really have some vision. My family is the most famous refining shop in Bailongshan. These top-grade magic tools are the proud works of our master. We also specially kept them for this Bailongshan Conference."

After walking around for a while, Song Qingming saw several top-grade magic tools with good appearance on a table, so he stopped and took a closer look.

After becoming a weapon refiner, Song Qingming has a better understanding of various magic weapons than before. The magic weapons in front of him look extraordinary, as if they were made by a master who has been refining for many years.

After looking for a while, Song Qingming pointed to a magic weapon on the table and asked the boss dressed as a scholar:

"Fellow Daoist, can you help introduce this magic weapon?"

"This defensive magic weapon is called Tianluo Umbrella. It is a top-grade defensive magic weapon. It is made of top-grade golden jade and has outstanding defensive capabilities. There is a mechanism on the umbrella. If it encounters a critical moment, it can unexpectedly release a few flying needles to hurt the enemy. It is a rare magic weapon that can be used for both offense and defense. If you are interested in it, you should hurry up. Several people have asked about it just now."

Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to be interested in this magic weapon, the stall owner quickly introduced the magic weapon in his hand, and carefully watched the changes in Song Qingming's face while speaking.

Song Qingming asked another question calmly after listening.

"I don't know if this magic weapon has any other defects. I am also a weapon refiner. Please tell me directly, don't beat around the bush."

When the boss heard Song Qingming's words, he smiled awkwardly and replied: "This magic weapon actually has no obvious weaknesses. It just consumes more mana than ordinary magic weapons."

After listening to the explanation of the Confucian boss, Song Qingming finally understood. No wonder this magic weapon has not been sold yet after several people asked about it. It turned out to be this reason.

Generally, cultivators don't like magic weapons that consume more mana. The main reason is that although this type of magic weapon is more powerful, it is not conducive to long-term combat and can easily hinder the cultivator's feet.

Except for a small number of people who have practiced special skills and have more mana than ordinary cultivators, few cultivators will choose to buy this kind of magic weapon. Song Qingming really didn't expect that this magic weapon is quite suitable for him.

After listening to this, Song Qingming nodded and continued to ask: "How many spirit stones does this magic weapon cost, please tell me directly."

"Since you are also an expert, I will not say those nonsense. We in Wushan Pavilion also want to make friends with you. This magic weapon will cost you 150 spirit stones."

After hearing the price quoted by the boss of Wushan Pavilion, Song Qingming knew that this price was already very affordable. He showed satisfaction on his face, handed over 150 spirit stones, and won the magic weapon.

Relying on the cultivation with no shortage of resources in the past few years, Song Qingming's mana has been close to the perfection of the sixth level of Qi Refining in the past few years. He is almost able to use a top-grade magic weapon. Since he saw a suitable magic weapon in Bailong Mountain this time, he naturally would not miss it.

The defensive ability of this Tianluo Umbrella is quite good, which is much more powerful than the black gold shield on Song Qingming. The fact that it consumes more mana is not a big problem for Song Qingming who has cultivated the Yuxuan Sutra. It is a magic weapon that is more suitable for him.
