Chapter 7: The Scattered Cultivation Trade Fair Begins
Chapter 7 – Scattered Cultivation Trade Fair Begins
A month passed quickly.
When Jiang Chengxuan stepped out of his cave and prepared to head to Dong Yuan Pavilion to attend that Scattered Cultivator Trade Fair, in his possession, he already had forty-four Water Sword Talismans, as well as ten Water Shield Talismans.
Yes.
In a month’s time, Jiang Chengxuan had successfully drawn a total of ten Water Shield Talismans.
It had to be said that drawing a first-rank upper-grade talisman was much more difficult than drawing a first-rank middle-grade talisman.
The amount of time and true essence it took was also several times more than when drawing a first-rank medium-grade talisman.
Likewise, their value was also several times that of a first-order medium-grade talisman.
At this time.
Jiang Chengxuan had arrived inside a huge pavilion that covered an area of about a thousand square feet.
This place was none other than the Dong Yuan Pavilion, and it was also the place where the Dispersed Cultivator Trade Fair was being held this time.
Jiang Chengxuan took a cursory glance and realized that the number of Qi Refining casual cultivators who had come to this Dong Yuan Pavilion at this time was already several hundred.
And as time goes on, there is still a steady stream of loose cultivators coming to this Dong Yuan Pavilion.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang.”
Right at this moment, someone inside the pavilion suddenly called out to him.
Jiang Chengxuan turned his head to look and realized that the ones calling him now were none other than Mr. and Mrs. Xu Haichuan.
“This way.”
Xu Haichuan smiled and waved at him.
Jiang Chengxuan walked over at once.
Only after both sides had exchanged pleasantries did Xu Haichuan point at a middle-aged man beside him and said:
“Come, fellow Daoist Jiang, let me introduce you.
This is Fellow Daoist Zhang Yunfei Zhang.
Previously, when Hong Yan and I went to explore that relic, we had to thank Fellow Daoist Zhang for his help.”
With that, he looked at Zhang Yunfei again and smiled:
“Fellow Daoist Zhang, this is Fellow Daoist Jiang Chengxuan Jiang whom I mentioned to you before.”
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, nice to meet you!”
That Zhang Yunfei, after hearing Xu Haichuan’s introduction, immediately politely clasped his fists to Jiang Chengxuan.
Jiang Chengxuan instantly also politely clasped his fists in return.
At the same time, he was somewhat surprised to find that this Daoist Zhang Yunfei Zhang was actually a rare sword cultivator.
A sword box was just so carried on his back.
People like this were generally more upright in nature.
Rarely would there be times when they would count on others.
The reason why Mr. and Mrs. Xu Haichuan had gone to explore the ruins with this Zhang Yunfei in the first place was probably because of this.
While the few people were talking, quite a few more people came inside the pavilion.
On the side, Mr. and Mrs. Xu Haichuan secretly transmitted their voices to Jiang Chengxuan to introduce them.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, see those people over there?
They’re all veteran late-stage Qi Refining casual cultivators who’ve been in this Qianyang Marketplace for more than thirty years.
The one on the far left is named Feng Kun, with a cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Known for his ebony halberd, he is said to have practiced body refining techniques and has great strength.
The one in the center is Smiling Tiger Li Boren, a pair of mandarin ducks and mother’s blades, I don’t know how many cultivators’ lives have been harvested.
With a cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Refining, you must be cautious and careful if you encounter this person alone in the future, fellow Daoist Jiang.
The one on the far right, is Chen Zixian, this woman do not look at her only Qi refining seventh layer of cultivation, but she is our Qi refining scattered cultivators, the famous first-order upper grade alchemist.
Many of our friends have looked for her to make pills.
The last is that Zhou Yuanfang, it is said that this person once escaped from the hands of a newcomer to the foundation, so far seven or eight years have passed, still safe and sound.
It is evident that this person’s means should also be quite extraordinary.”
……
It had to be said that Mr. and Mrs. Xu Haichuan were very knowledgeable about many of the cultivators in front of them.
Jiang Chengxuan had also learned quite a bit from them.
Just as the couple wanted to continue talking, Zhang Yunfei, who was next to them, suddenly opened his mouth indifferently.
“It’s starting.”
A few people turned their heads to look, and indeed, they saw that on top of the high platform in front of the crowd, a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining wearing a Daoist robe had already taken the lead on the stage.
He first clasped his fists and greeted the crowd of cultivators below the stage before taking out two items from his own body.
A first-rank upper-grade magic weapon curved sword, and a first-rank upper-grade spirit fruit named White Cloud Fruit.
Both were quite good items.
The former was worth roughly around three hundred spirit stones.
The latter was slightly lower, but it wouldn’t be lower than one hundred spirit stones.
This was mainly related to the fact that that White Cloud Fruit was one of the auxiliary ingredients for refining a certain second-order elixir.
Otherwise, an ordinary first-order upper-grade elixir would be worth a few dozen spirit stones at most.
At this moment.
I heard the cultivator in the Daoist robe open his mouth and say to the crowd, “Gentlemen, I think everyone should know the value of these two items in my hand.
I would like to exchange them for a duster-type first-order upper-grade magic weapon, as well as props of equal value to it.”
Soon, a gnarled bearded man rose.
He happened to have a duster-type magic weapon in his hand that the dao-robed cultivator needed, and immediately exchanged it with the dao-robed cultivator.
As for that remaining White Cloud Fruit, it was exchanged by that Chen Zixian for two First Grade Upper Grade True Recovery Pills.
That True Recovery Pill could help cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining to recover their true essence.
It cost about sixty to seventy spirit stones each.
That dao-robed cultivator had clearly taken some advantage of it.
It was just that looking at that Chen Zixian’s appearance, he didn’t care much about it.
Then, a few more cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining went up to the stage.
Most of the items they brought out were some low to medium level talismans, precious materials, spiritual medicines, and low level techniques.
There was a lot of variety, but none of them were of much use to Jiang Chengxuan nowadays.
Until the cultivator called Zhou Yuanfang came on stage.
What he took out was a first-order mid-grade defense magic weapon, as well as a book of first-order talismans.
Jiang Chengxuan wasn’t very interested in the first-order medium-grade defense artifact.
Instead, it was the book of first-order talismans that he took out later that made Jiang Chengxuan so interested.
If there was a first-order top-grade talisman creation method other than the Water Shield Talisman in there, then he would try his best to get it.
At this time.
Then he heard Zhou Yuan Fang say: ”My first-order medium-grade defense talisman is hereby priced at two hundred spirit stones, or an item of equal value to it.
As for this first-order talisman book, because it has some defects within it, it will be priced at three hundred spirit stones, or an item of equal value.”
“Can you tell me, you that the book of first-order talismans inside, what exactly includes the first-order top-grade talismans?”
Right at this moment, Jiang Chengxuan, who had never asked for a price, suddenly opened his mouth.
Hearing his words, the Xu Haichuan couple and Zhang Yunfei beside him all looked over with some surprise.
Xu Haichuan was even a bit unable to resist saying, “Jiang Daoyou, what are you …… doing?”
Jiang Chengxuan smiled faintly.
“Fellow Daoist Xu, truth be told, not long ago I just broke through the bottleneck of a first-order upper-grade talisman maker, so I’m more or less that interested in that first-order talisman compendium.”
These words immediately caused the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Xu Haichuan to be taken aback.
Previously, they hadn’t really known that Jiang Chengxuan was actually still a talisman maker.
Now, he had even become a first-order top-grade talisman maker.
This is really ……
Not waiting for the couple to think about it, they saw that Zhou Yuanfang on the stage hesitated slightly, then looked at Jiang Chengxuan and said:
“Inside this first-order talisman book of mine, there are a total of three first-order top-grade talisman production methods recorded.
They are the Golden Light Talisman, the Earth Escape Talisman, and the Fire Snake Talisman.
I wonder if you need them?”
