Chapter 73: Refining a Top-Grade Magical Instrument
"Indeed, I have heard that Bailong Mountain is, after all, the territory of Patriarch Chen. Patriarch Chen would refine a furnace of foundation-building pills every few decades, so it is normal for foundation-building pills to flow into Bailong Mountain.
However, precious spiritual objects such as foundation-building pills are too rare. Bailong Mountain Market has been established for decades, and I heard that it has only appeared once. I don't know whether it will be taken out at this exchange. Fellow Daoist Song came here to help others inquire about this matter."
After Shi Chun finished speaking, he looked at Song Qingming thoughtfully.
After hearing Shi Chun's guess, Song Qingming did not explain, but just smiled and nodded.
Shi Chun also laughed a few times, and then continued: "It is not easy to find spiritual objects of the level of Foundation Building Pill in Weiguo. Apart from Xiaoyao Sect, there are only two or three places where you can find it. It all depends on luck."
"Brother Shi, I wonder where else there is news about Foundation Building Pill besides Bailong Mountain. Brother Shi is knowledgeable, please give me some advice." Song Qingming complimented and continued to ask.
"Apart from Yangshanfang, the only places where Foundation Building Pill has appeared in the past few decades are Tiexian Valley, which borders Chen State, and Taiyue Lake Market by Sanlong River. Foundation Building Pill, which is worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones, will cause a sensation as long as it appears. You can easily find out about it by asking around in the market."
After Shi Chun finished speaking, he briefly introduced the situation of these two places to Song Qingming, but he actually had not been to these two places himself, and the information he knew was completely introduced by other casual cultivators who had been there.
After listening to this, Song Qingming couldn't help but feel excited and fell into a brief contemplation.
Yangshanfang is the largest market in Weiguo, located at the foot of Guyangshan, the gate of Xiaoyao Sect. It is also one of the important industries of Xiaoyao Sect. Song Qingming naturally knows that he can exchange for foundation-building pills here.
Tiexian Valley and Taiyue Lake are both thousands of miles away from Guiyunfang and Qinghe County. Although Song Qingming has heard of these two places, he doesn't know much about them.
According to Shi Chun's later introduction, the actual situation of these two places is not much different from that of Bailongshan Market. They are also places where various forces intersect. However, the distance of tens of thousands of miles is tens of thousands of miles. It will take at least half a year for him to go there at his speed in the Qi Refining Stage. Without sufficient preparation, he dare not go to such a far place casually. If he wants to find out about the news of the foundation-building pill, it seems that he will have to find other ways later.
"Brother Song, I wonder when you are going to return to Guiyunfang. Do you want to accompany me so that we can take care of each other on the way?" Shi Chun's words quickly interrupted Song Qingming's thoughts and brought him back to reality.
Song Qingming put away his thoughts and replied: "Next, I will sacrifice the magic weapon in the cave, which will probably take two or three days. If Brother Shi is not in a hurry, you may as well wait for me for a few days, and then we will return to Guiyunfang together. What do you think, Brother Shi?"
"Okay, then it's settled. I will go to the venue to look around and see if there are any suitable spiritual objects. I won't disturb Brother Song."
"Okay, then congratulations to Brother Shi Dao for getting what you want."
The two agreed on a time to leave. Seeing that Song Qingming was willing to go with him, Shi Chun was also very happy, and then left Song Qingming's cave.
For Song Qingming, although he came alone and did not encounter any danger, he would naturally not refuse to leave with an acquaintance.
Not long after Shi Chun left, Song Qingming quickly adjusted his state and prepared to start refining the Tianluo Umbrella.
After the failure of refining the Taixu Sword last time, Song Qingming was always a little nervous about refining the top-grade magic weapon. He was still a little afraid that he would damage the magic weapon he had bought with great difficulty.
Although he has learned several skills now and has many ways to earn spirit stones, losing 150 spirit stones at a time will still make him very painful.
Three days later, Song Qingming in the cave looked at the yellow spirit umbrella that kept spinning in the air with a smug look on his face, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
As Song Qingming's spiritual power moved, the yellow spirit umbrella quickly retracted, shrunk to a three-inch size, and turned into a yellow spiritual light, which quickly sank into the storage bag on Song Qingming's waist.
What Song Qingming didn't expect was that this time, the refining of the Tianluo Umbrella was surprisingly smooth. It took Song Qingming less than two days to successfully refine this magic weapon.
After refining the Tianluo Umbrella, Song Qingming stayed in the cave for another day until he was very familiar with this magic weapon, and then he opened the door of the cave.
After leaving the cave, Song Qingming first went to find Shi Chun. After making an appointment with him, Song Qingming went to the market again, returned the cave he rented, and then walked into a teahouse in the market.
Although the Bailongshan Conference had ended for two days, looking at the bustling crowd outside the window, there were still many cultivators in the market who had not left. It was still an extremely prosperous scene, similar to when Song Qingming came.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Shi Chun finally arrived here. However, what surprised Song Qingming was that there was a woman in black with a veil standing next to Shi Chun. It seemed that the two of them came here together.
"Brother Song, let me introduce you. This is Yu Daoyou from Duanyun Mountain. He is also a good friend of mine who has known each other for many years. He heard that we are going back today and wanted to go back to Guiyunfang with us. I think more people can also take care of more people, so I agreed without authorization. Brother Song, do you think it's okay?"
Seeing the puzzled look on Song Qingming's face, Shi Chun hurriedly introduced the woman to him. The woman in black also nodded slightly and greeted Song Qingming.
"Brother Shi, you are polite. Since she is someone you are familiar with, I naturally have no objection."
There are also many casual cultivators rooted in the many spiritual veins near Guiyunfang. Song Qingming, who was talking about Duanyun Mountain in Shi Chun's mouth, has been in Guiyunfang for almost two years and roughly knows the location of this spiritual mountain.
After the two entered the door, Song Qingming also carefully looked at the woman. Seeing that her cultivation level was also at the fifth level of Qi Refining, it was not a burden for them to travel together. Song Qingming naturally did not refuse Shi Chun's proposal.
After the three of them got together, they soon left Bailong Mountain and rushed to Guidong at lightning speed.
The three of them were a little nervous along the way. This time they came to Bailong Mountain, and when they left, they all carried a lot of spiritual objects with them. They were also a little afraid of being targeted by someone with ulterior motives. However, this woman in black, whose cultivation level was lower than the two of them, always liked to walk in front of them, which made Song Qingming a little strange.
After walking for five days in a row, just when the three of them were about to reach the border of Guiyunfang, the woman in black who was walking in front suddenly shouted softly to Song Qingming and the other two behind.
"Wait a minute, two Taoist friends, there seems to be a monster coming from the front."
When Song Qingming and Shi Chun heard the words of the woman in black, their nerves, which had been somewhat relaxed, suddenly tensed up again.
"I don't feel the breath of the monster here. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Yu is mistaken?" Song Qingming looked ahead and didn't see anything in his sight. He asked in confusion.
"Brother Song, you don't know that Fellow Daoist Yu has practiced a spiritual eye ability that can see the scene thousands of feet away. Can Fellow Daoist Yu see clearly what kind of monster it is?" After Shi Chun explained to Song Qingming, he turned around and asked the woman in black.
"It's a mid-level earth-splitting bear. Do you two fellow Daoists want to deal with the monster first and then move forward?"
