Chapter 133 – The Little Meeting of Qingtan
Chapter 133 – Qingdan Small Meeting
“Open and eat!”
Lu Xuan couldn’t care less about the heat and flipped the steamed reddish crab shell open, revealing the golden and fatty crab meat inside.
He tore off a pair of chelipeds and gave one each to the Treading Cloud Lynx and the Wind Falcon Cub, and then, one person and two beasts, together, sank into the delicious flavor.
“Niko!”
Suddenly, a clear bird call rang in his ears.
Lu Xuan put down the crab shells in his hands and looked at the sound, only to see that in the courtyard, he didn’t know when a clean white luan bird came in.
The luan bird trailed its snow white plume, a pair of black gemstone-like pupils gazed at Lu Xuan’s side, Lu Xuan felt its thirst for food from its eyes.
“The visitor is a guest, would you like to come over and have a taste?”
The moment he saw the clean white luan bird, Lu Xuan’s eyes couldn’t help but condense.
The cave was guarded at all times by a Second Grade Misty Concealment Maze Formation, and this luan bird was actually able to enter the cave without a sound.
With a sweep of his Spiritual Sense, he detected that the luan bird’s strength was most likely above the third grade. Thinking of this, Lu Xuan had a genuine warm smile on his face as he greeted the White Luan Bird and came over to enjoy the food.
The White Luan Bird’s spiritual intelligence was extremely high, understanding the meaning of Lu Xuan’s words, the long plume behind him moved, like a mass of white jade floating over.
Lu Xuan handed it a small piece of fatty crab meat, and the luan bird nodded towards him, its beak pecking the crab meat into its stomach.
“Niko!”
It chirped crisply and floated away with a satisfied look, not causing a single change in the Misty Hidden Maze.
“What kind of demonic beast is this, actually able to pass through a second grade protective formation without a sound.”
Lu Xuan sighed in his heart, to be able to freely travel through the Misty Concealment Formation without causing the slightest movement, that meant that the clean white luan bird just now had extremely special abilities.
“Most ordinary Third Grade Demonic Beasts would find it hard to do this, and I wonder what exactly is the origin of this Clean White Luan Bird.”
Lu Xuan thought curiously in his heart, the luan bird was too mysterious, it was not good to pry into its roots, and after it quickly left, his attention returned to the crab meat on the table that was already about to be wiped out.
“Oi oi oi, you two guys, save some for me!”
……
“Brother Lu, I’m full!”
With a snap, Baili Jianqing placed the bowl and chopsticks in his hands on the table, and said with an unfulfilled appetite.
He had been invited by Lu Xuan and had come over for a crab meat feast.
Lu Xuan’s handiwork had made his appetite so great that he had dazzled five large bowls of Spirit Rice in one breath.
“Eat some spirit fruits to take the edge off.”
Lu Xuan brought over a few plates of spirit fruits of different shapes, Baili Jianqing squinted his slender eyes, pinched up a grain of spirit fruit that was like an onyx, and stuffed it into his mouth.
With a gentle bite, the spirit fruit seemed to explode in his mouth, the sweet juice filling every corner of his mouth.
“Big Brother Lu, you really know how to enjoy your blessings, living such a divine life!”
Baili Jianqing sighed as he propped up his rounded stomach and lay down on the wooden chair.
“It’s not bad, it just so happens that there is a bred Iron Chevron Crab Demon Beast that is ripe, so I called you over to have a meal of Crab Meat Soup.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile, not long after the first Iron Chevron Crab matured, another Iron Chevron Crab entered the maturity stage, leaving behind a white light ball that similarly opened up a second grade Crab Spirit Paste delicacy.
Lu Xuan thought of Baili Jianqing, so he called him over and made a big table full of iron chelated crab demonic beasts as the main meal, along with some other demonic beasts’ meat.
“Right Jianqing, you said earlier that there are occasional gatherings inside the sect where fellow disciples organize to exchange treasures, can you tell me about it in detail?”
Lu Xuan cleared the table and asked Baili Jianqing.
“Does Big Brother Lu want to participate?”
“Yes, I have this intention, there are some second grade spirit plants in my hands, the quality is quite good, it’s a little bit unprofitable if I sell them directly in the stores of Sword Gate Town, I want to try to see if I can exchange them for any desired treasures.”
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice. “As far as I know, there are quite a few cultivators in the clan who often organize these gatherings, inviting a varying number of fellow cultivators to exchange cultivation tips, compare arts and sword paths, and at the same time, they will also share what they have, exchanging cultivation resources and treasures in their hands.”
“Usually there are all kinds of thresholds, cultivation levels, backgrounds, types of treasures, and so on.”
Baili Jianqing knew the situation of the sect extremely well and spoke eloquently.
“Are there any similar gatherings that I can attend recently?” Lu Xuan asked curiously.
“I know of one, called the Qingtan Small Meeting, the organizer is named Li Qingtan, an inner disciple who was specially recruited to enter the Inner Sect.”
Outer Sect disciples were automatically promoted to Inner Sect disciples after their cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, and there were also gifted people who were specially recruited into the Inner Sect at the Qi Practicing Stage to become an Inner Sect disciple.
“This Qingtan small meeting is relatively private, the number of cultivators involved is not very large, and cultivators who want to newly join it must be introduced by an old cultivator’s guarantee.”
Baili Jianqing continued.
“Many rare treasures, magic weapons, talismans, pills, spiritual plants, demonic beast materials and so on tend to appear in the small meeting, and almost every time the small meeting, treasures of the third-grade stage appear.
At the small meeting, each person takes turns to come forward and display the cultivation treasures they are able to exchange, as well as present the detailed requirements of the treasures they want.”
“The bartering method used between each other, of course, in private, one can use spirit stones, sword seals to trade, there are no strong rules on this.”
Lu Xuan nodded his head, expressing his understanding.
“Do you want me to take you to see it, Big Brother Lu? The latest Qingtan Minor Meeting will be held around three days from now.”
Baili Jianqing narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
“Then I’ll trouble you.”
Lu Xuan begged, following Baili Jianqing’s tone.
“Then, Big Brother Lu, prepare yourself beforehand, I’ll come over to find you three days later.”
Baili Jianqing bid farewell to Lu Xuan and left the cave.
Lu Xuan thought back in his mind, he had a lot of third grade treasures on him, Hidden Spirit Cloak, Sundown Thunder Sword Pill, Unsullied Jade, Dust Reducing Pill, and Spirit Purifying Talisman …….
However, he had no intention of taking these out for the time being, unless he came across any rare and high-grade Spirit Species, then he would consider exchanging them with the Dust Reducing Pill or the Spirit Purifying Talisman.
He mainly wanted to bid off those dozen pieces of Clear Miracle Spirit Tea tea leaves, as well as that second-grade Dark Pith Ganoderma, to see if he could exchange it for the Spirit Seeds he needed or the method of condensing Spirit Seeds.
As for the other things, then he would move with the camera and if he came across any suitable treasures, then he would try to see if he could exchange them.
Lu Xuan thought in his mind and quickly made a decision.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and early in the morning, Baili Jianqing’s call came from outside the courtyard.
“Big Brother Lu, are you ready? I’m coming over!”
“It’s ready.”
Lu Xuan answered and came outside the courtyard, Baili Jianqing offered a flying boat artifact and Lu Xuan gently leaped and stood on the side of the flying boat.
An aura shield rose on the surface of the flying boat, isolating the rapids high in the air and speeding through the mountains.
A few moments later, the flying boat landed on a beautiful mountain peak.
In the waist of the mountain, there were pavilions and pavilions in all directions, with curved goblets and flowing water, extremely elegant.
Baili Jianqing led Lu Xuan directly to a simple and elegant courtyard.
“This is Lu Xuan, Senior Brother Lu Xuan, with a cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi cultivation, specializing in cultivating spiritual plants, coming over to the Qingtan small meeting for the first time.”
Baili Jianqing very familiarly introduced to a Qi Practicing Perfection realm cultivator at the door.
“Welcome Senior Brother Lu.”
The cultivator, a handsome-looking youth with sword brows and starry eyes, had an extraordinary demeanor as he glanced at Lu Xuan and said with a smile.
