Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 543: Trade fair

Views:

It is a great opportunity to hear a powerful person who has reached the perfection of the Refining Void give a lecture, especially for a casual cultivator, who may only encounter it once in his lifetime.

The entire White Frost City was in complete silence.

Ye Qianxuan did not play it perfunctory. He started from the time when he was a mortal and explained in detail the cultivation insights of low-level realms such as Qi training and foundation building. Many low-level cultivators broke through to the small realm on the spot.

The content of the Jindan realm is a little long. The cultivators at this realm are the backbone of this world, and there are a lot of them.

Then comes the content of the Nascent Soul stage.

Chen Lin listened attentively, not missing a single word, and was fascinated.

When the other party finished explaining the contents of this realm, many blocked points suddenly became clear, and he also gained some inspiration for several key points of the obscure exercises. If he went into seclusion now, he was confident that he could cultivate the early stage of Nascent Soul to perfection.

Next came the content about the Spirit Transformation Realm, which he did not miss.

However, the other party did not explain the content of this realm in such detail, and many places were just glossed over, which was obviously intentional.

This is understandable. On the one hand, there are not many Divine Transformation cultivators. On the other hand, the other party does not want the Divine Transformation cultivators of other forces to improve in strength, as that would be detrimental to their Ye family's hegemonic rule.

The sermon lasted for two hours before it ended.

Chen Lin felt that the experience was very enjoyable and he gained a lot.

Not counting other benefits, just listening to this sermon was worth it for him to stay here for ten years!

"Okay, this sermon ends here. The next one will be ten years from now. Tomorrow is the day when the trade fair begins. It will last for three days. I hope that all of you Taoist friends can trade for what you need and make further progress on your path to immortality!"

The ancestor of the Ye family made a conclusion, and then there was no sound.

The monks at the foot of the mountain were reluctant to disperse, and many of them simply began to meditate and practice on the spot.

Chen Lin also said goodbye to Ye Luo and returned to the cave to absorb insights.

Early the next morning, Chen Lin walked out of the cave feeling refreshed. The training he had put in that night was no less than what he had put in the previous three years.

In the path of cultivation, the difference between having a master to guide and not having a master is really huge.

It was quite unexpected that Ye Luo didn't come to see him today. It was probably because he was a little depressed after opening his heart yesterday and was not in the mood to join in the fun at the trade fair.

Chen Lin thought about it and sent a communication talisman to the other party, but received no response.

In that case, he took Xiaocao and went to the market on his own.

There are four markets in Baishuang City, the largest of which is the Central Market, where the trade fair is held.

The first two days are free trading time, the third day is a large-scale auction during the day, and the evening is a high-end exchange meeting for those above the Nascent Soul stage.

He didn’t have much feeling when he was in Black Tower City before, but at this moment, Chen Lin finally understood what the advanced interface was. The treasures that appeared on any stall were all top-quality things, and there were even some Jindan Yuanying-level treasures. Some of the things on the stalls made him excited.

"What's this?"

Chen Lin and Xiao Cao came to a small stall and picked up a brown stone the size of a head to inquire about it. The smell in the stone was very strange and he could not tell what it was.

"Roman Stone, a specialty of the Luomen Evil Land, has a weak earth attribute. This piece is of a low grade and does not meet the requirements for refining spiritual treasures, but it can be used as a material for pseudo-spiritual treasures of earth attribute."

"oh."

Chen Lin nodded and asked, "How much?"

He definitely cannot use the earth-attributed materials, but Sun Caiyi and his daughter can use them. If the price is not too excessive, he can stockpile them and give them to them when they get together in the future.

When the stall owner saw that Chen Lin was interested in buying something, he immediately became enthusiastic.

He introduced it earnestly, "Originally, such a large piece of Luomen Stone would cost at least ten top-grade spirit stones. If you like it, I'll make an offer and you can take eight top-grade spirit stones!"

“Three!”

Chen Lin stretched out his finger and started bargaining.

He didn't know the true value of the item, but he knew that the prices at these stalls were all sky-high, so he had to bargain hard.

"Okay, deal!"

Chen Lin was still wondering whether the other party would get angry and how to bargain with him to reach a balance, but he didn't expect the other party to make the final decision.

Finished, the reward is too high again!

He was secretly depressed, as he was really not good at bargaining.

However, since the other party has agreed to his price, according to the unspoken rules, the item must be purchased, otherwise a dispute will inevitably arise.

Taking out three top-grade spirit stones, Chen Lin put the Roman Stone into his storage bag.

Although the price was high, he was still very happy in his heart because the spirit stones here had greater purchasing power, and the monks were also willing to use spirit stones as currency for transactions.

If it were in the Starry Continent back then, such a large piece of material for refining a pseudo-spiritual treasure would not even require three top-grade spirit stones, and no one would accept spirit stones, so it would have to be traded.

The reasons for this phenomenon are that, in addition to the over-exploitation of the spirit stone mines in this world and the small number of spirit stones, it is also affected by the evil aura. The cultivators here are restricted in their practice at night, and those who cannot afford elixirs can only choose to practice with spirit stones, resulting in a huge increase in the demand for spirit stones.

"It's a pity that I can't go back to the original interface. Otherwise, becoming a cross-border spirit stone supplier would definitely be a very profitable business."

Chen Lin thought regretfully as he browsed other stalls.

At the same time, he also felt deeply worried. He wondered whether the Starry Continent interface still existed, whether Luo Qinglan had left safely, and how Qin Lingyu and the others were living in the new interface.

It took a long time to suppress this feeling of longing.

It's meaningless to think about these things now. Only by improving my cultivation as soon as possible and making myself stronger can I go find them together.

As soon as he regained his attention, Chen Lin saw a stall selling all kinds of ancient books, with a very complete range of items.

He was very interested in these things and immediately called Xiaocao to go forward and take a look.

In large trading places like markets, the items sold at stalls are not necessarily worse than those in shops.

Because all the shops are businesses in Baishuang City, at most some other large foreign businesses rent or cooperate with them, and most foreign merchants can only set up stalls because they cannot rent houses.

However, the stalls here also have to pay a certain fee, and are also protected by Baishuang City.

The entire trade fair area has been set up with layers of formations, and with Ye Qingcheng, who is at the Void Refinement Realm, in charge, plus the deterrent power of the Ye family's ancestor, there is no need to worry about safety issues.

"Boss, do you have any ancient books on elixir recipes or talisman-making methods?"

The stall was very large, and the classics were piled like mountains. There were also a large number of jade slips in the style of the ancient cultivation period, but they were all sealed and obviously could not be flipped through at will. Chen Lin simply asked the stall owner directly.

"Yes, there are, but they are all from ancient cultivators. I can't guarantee whether they can be used."

The stall owner was a middle-aged man, whose cultivation level was also in the early Nascent Soul stage. Upon hearing Chen Lin’s question, he immediately responded.

Then he took out a jade slip and said, "The catalog and brief introduction of all the classics are in this jade slip. Take a look first, and tell me which one you want to buy."

After saying that, he went to serve other customers.

Chen Lin didn't care.

Things like classics are items that can be copied and cannot be flipped through at will. The monks have excellent memories and can remember them after reading them once. No one will buy them then.

The spiritual consciousness probed into the jade slip.

There is a lot of content in it, including not only the names of various classics, but also a summary of the contents, as well as serial numbers and prices.

He went straight to the section about the elixir recipe, quickly determined his target, and then continued browsing other sections.

Suddenly, Chen Lin frowned and was attracted by the contents of one of the directories.

"Detailed Explanation of Demons"

According to the description, this is a notebook written by an ancient Buddhist practitioner, which records various kinds of demons and monsters in order to provide experience for later generations to subdue demons and monsters. It contains not only text but also pictures, and there is no shortage of information on big demons and celestial monsters.

Needless to say, this book must be bought just for the two words "Tianmo".

After reading for a while, Chen Lin put the jade slip down and said to the stall owner, "Boss, I want a copy of all four books, A-7, A-18, B-35, and D-13. Can you give me a discount?"

He decided that he must not raise the price this time. Although he had no shortage of spirit stones, he could not be taken advantage of.

Unexpectedly, the stall owner shook his head and said, "We don't bargain in small businesses. The amount recorded in the jade slip is the amount. And I want to make it clear in advance that the books for sale are all copies. You can't resell them after you buy them. You can either swear a heart demon oath or sign a spiritual contract. If you choose the spiritual contract, you will be responsible for the cost of the spiritual contract."

Chen Lin frowned.

Buying information items is troublesome, no wonder there are not many customers in front of the stall.

However, he would not swear an oath to his inner demon. He had remembered the warning given by the old Taoist priest at the Five Directions Temple. If he swore an oath to his inner demon too many times, it would easily attract the inner demon to appear. It was totally unnecessary for the sake of a few books.

Spiritual contracts should be avoided if possible. After all, breach of contract will result in the punishment of heaven, and the cost is too high.

Thinking of this, he said, "I don't like being bound by contracts. I wonder if the originals of these books can be sold without any restrictions. What price do you want?"

The other party sets all kinds of restrictions just to maximize their benefits. As long as enough spirit stones are given, all rules can be broken.

As expected, the stall owner didn't seem surprised, so there must be a lot of people buying like this.

"Haha, we have to sell it. There are two options."

The stall owner smiled and said, "If you just want to buy out the right to use the books, you only need to pay ten times the price. But if you want to restrict me from selling these books, then you need to pay a hundred times the price."

Chen Lin nodded, the price was quite reasonable.

"Okay, then I'll just buy the right to use it, but I need the original version of the B35. The original versions of the other parts are fine."

Book B Thirty-Five is the detailed explanation of the demon. Because of the pictures, it can be restored more realistically. As for the alchemy books and talisman-making books, it doesn't matter whether they are copied or not.

"Can."

The stall owner did not hesitate and directly handed Chen Lin a thick book bound with unknown materials and three jade slips. Chen Lin also happily paid the spirit stones and left with satisfaction.
