Chapter 163 Trade Fair
After a large bowl of spiritual rice was swallowed, Li Qing immediately sat on the ground and immersed himself in cultivation at the fastest speed.
《Fire Source Power》One small cycle after another, and finally formed a big cycle. The spiritual power contained in the spiritual rice just eaten was quickly transformed into pure mana.
In this process, the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth filled with heaven and earth was also breathed into Li Qing's body.
Li Qing has persisted in such cultivation for half a year, and the effect is quite remarkable.
After a long time, Li Qing's spiritual power, which had been accumulated in his body for half a year, finally climbed up again!
The third level of Qi Refining!
The peak of the early stage of Qi Refining, and then the middle stage of Qi Refining. In fact, the breakthrough of each small realm has a certain degree of difficulty and requires continuous polishing and tempering.
After his own breath gradually stabilized, Li Qing opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
"Huh!"
"I've reached the third level of Qi Refining before the trade fair, which is not bad."
Li Qing was very satisfied with this result. With the spiritual rice he insisted on eating every day and the abundant spiritual energy in the spiritual veins, his cultivation speed here was much faster than outside.
Of course, compared with those people with outstanding cultivation qualifications, this speed is naturally not worth mentioning.
"It's time to prepare for the trade fair. Although it lasts for three days, it will definitely be better if we are prepared."
As he said, Li Qing prepared to dress up.
He had a lot of things to buy, and it was very necessary to disguise himself as other identities and buy the things he needed in multiple times.
Luckily, Li Qing's martial arts cultivation was good. At the level of the Grandmaster of Huajin, he could perfectly control his own blood and qi, and simply change his temperament.
With these two points, he carefully prepared some clothes. Basically, as long as he didn't pay special attention, it would be difficult to be discovered.
In this way, Li Qing prepared one set of clothes after another for himself, perfectly playing one identity after another.
For example, a middle-aged monk with a decadent will, or a simple spiritual farmer who works hard, etc.
"It's a pity that this kind of disguise cannot be changed to a monk who is too old, otherwise it will be easily seen through."
"If I had known this, I should have collected some special martial arts such as disguise or bone shrinking when I was in the secular martial arts world."
Li Qing sighed a little and soon looked forward to tomorrow's trade fair.
The next day, the Liu family's helper area was finally bustling with people.
The scattered cultivators in the three areas of A, B, and C all gathered together and began to exchange what they had and what they needed.
This noisy and lively scene made Li Qing amazed, thinking that there were many more people living in these three scattered cultivator areas than he expected.
Looking at this scene that was like a mortal going to the market in the secular world, Li Qing, disguised as a spiritual farmer, immediately rushed into the crowd and tried his best to reduce his presence.
In fact, no one would pay attention to Li Qing at all. Most people's attention was focused on the stalls, searching for what they wanted.
"On weekdays, these monks either stay in the courtyard or go out to work. Now that they have gathered together, it sets off such a lively scene!"
Li Qing muttered in his heart, wandered aimlessly, and listened to the hawking around.
"Spiritual rice, spiritual rice, this time only, one spiritual stone for seven catties! One spiritual stone for seven catties of spiritual rice!"
Hearing this hawking, Li Qing's heart moved, but he quickly suppressed his inner thoughts.
On weekdays, one spiritual stone for six catties of spiritual rice, many people sold it at the trade fair at the price of seven catties.
That's because many spiritual farmers are in urgent need of spiritual stones, and there are things they want to buy at this trade fair, so they are anxious to sell the spiritual rice.
But this is not Li Qing's goal. Now he is relatively less in need of spiritual stones, so there is no need to buy cheap spiritual rice.
"Come, come, take a look, aged spirit wine! Biling Brew, drinking a cup will help improve the speed of breathing spirit in the Qi Refining Stage!"
In front of a stall, a cultivator was constantly selling seven or eight jars of spirit wine on his stall.
Li Qing moved when he heard the sound and walked over curiously.
"Excuse me, what kind of spirit wine do you have here, and how much do you sell them?"
Seeing that someone was interested, the man immediately introduced happily: "My friend, I have two kinds of spirit wine here, one is the Biling Brew I just mentioned, and the other is the Qingshen Brew. After drinking it, not only will you not be intoxicated, but it will make you enter an abnormally sober state. It is very suitable for a cup before comprehending secret techniques or practicing new skills!"
"Biling Brew is 15 spirit stones per jar, and Qingshen Brew is 25 spirit stones!"
After the spirit brewer finished speaking, he looked at Li Qing with a smile, with a face full of expectation.
It is similar to the price of spirit wine he knows, so this offer is reasonable.
Don't think that one spirit stone can buy six or seven kilograms of spirit rice, but a jar of spirit wine costs more than ten spirit stones, which is very expensive.
Because brewing spirit wine requires a wine recipe, especially this kind of spirit wine with special effects, even if it is brewed according to the wine recipe, it may fail to brew.
So Li Qing can accept these prices.
Li Qing pretended to be addicted to wine, but he was a little tight on money, and said:
"Give me a jar of each, but I only have 38 spirit stones, can the rest be replaced by 13 kilograms of spirit rice?"
"No problem at all! Since you are the first customer, I will only charge you 10 kilograms of spiritual rice!" The spiritual brewer immediately laughed and agreed to this very happily.
The transaction was successfully concluded. Li Qing put all the two jars of spiritual wine into the storage bag, then turned around and disappeared into the crowd, completely restraining his breath.
With two jars of spiritual wine, Li Qing wandered around the trade fair again, searching for what he needed.
Just as Li Qing was silently thinking about the elixir and storage bag, suddenly a relatively deserted stall in the left front caught his attention.
The stall owner was a pale and thin young monk, like a scholar. He closed his eyes and rested his mind from beginning to end. He did not shout loudly like other stall owners, but always held the shelf.
"Are these talismans?"
Yes, there were many kinds of magic talismans on it, and Li Qing even saw several golden shield talismans and wind talismans that he had obtained before, which were also placed on it.
However, Li Qing, who had already entered the world of immortal cultivation, naturally understood that these two talismans were actually of inferior quality. They could only be considered as first-grade inferior talismans, not even first-grade inferior ones.
"Hmm." The stall owner who sold talismans responded indifferently, and he seemed to think highly of himself.
Li Qing didn't care too much about this.
After all, it was normal for a person who had a skill in immortal cultivation to be a little arrogant. Judging from the quality of the other talismans he sold, he should have been a first-grade inferior talisman master.
"What kind of talismans are these? Can you introduce them?"
Seeing that Li Qing really wanted to buy some, the stall owner said, "This one is a fire rain talisman, a first-grade inferior grade. Once activated, it can release a piece of fire rain!"
"This one is a breath-suppressing talisman, a first-grade inferior grade. It can conceal one's own breath, but the effect is greatly reduced for cultivators above the late stage of Qi Refining."
"This one is an ice arrow talisman, a first-grade inferior grade, which can release an extremely fast ice arrow!"
After saying this, the man couldn't help but raise his chin and proudly introduced the last talisman engraved with purple runes:
"This is a lightning talisman. Although it is only a first-grade inferior grade, its power is close to a first-grade middle grade. Even if a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining wants to resist it, it will take a lot of effort!"
"A lightning talisman costs fifteen spirit stones, and other first-grade inferior talismans cost ten spirit stones. As for inferior talismans, they only cost five spirit stones."
After the voice fell, the man closed his eyes again.
Li Qing nodded secretly, and then his attention was attracted by another thing. It was a book with "Qingling Xiuxianjie Yiwen" written on it. It turned out to be a book introducing local customs and people.
He was interested and pointed at the book and asked: "How much is this Yiwen book?"
Seeing that Li Qing asked about other products again, the man frowned and said: "I spent five spirit stones when I bought it, and now I will sell it to you for three spirit stones."
"Well, I want a lightning talisman, a breath-retaining talisman, and an ice arrow talisman! In addition, can you give me the book as a gift?" Li Qing immediately changed to a bargaining posture.
However, to Li Qing's surprise, the man actually agreed.
"Okay! Deal!"
Seeing the other party so straightforward, Li Qing's mouth twitched, wondering if he was a little hasty?
But he still honestly took out 35 spirit stones for the other party, and then put the things into the storage bag.
After receiving the spirit stone, the man couldn't hide a trace of joy between his eyebrows, and he was obviously happy to have reached a deal.
Li Qing found it a little funny. Since this man had come out to set up a stall, he couldn't even bring himself to shout. He really thought that good wine would sell itself.
But after thinking about it, he understood him a little.
The reason why immortal cultivators wanted talismans was simply to protect themselves and save their lives, and to increase their chances of winning when fighting with others.
However, most of the casual cultivators working in the Liu family, because of the security guarantee here, few people were willing to buy talismans to increase their means of self-defense and protection.
After all, it was indeed safe enough. The Liu family protected these casual cultivators quite well, and one less was a loss.
It was normal that no one was willing to waste money on talismans.
With these thoughts, Li Qing continued to wander around the trade fair.
He had spent more than 70 spirit stones in total. To be on the safe side, he was no longer planning to buy anything else.
Now he was just walking around like this, just to note down the locations of other items he needed, and wait until next time to buy them.
He was not in a hurry, because this trade fair would last for three days, and it had just begun.
As he walked, he looked at other things on the stalls and gained more knowledge.
It must be said that although it was just a trade fair organized by casual cultivators, the variety of things that appeared was still very rich.
Some people directly placed several jade slips on the stalls, which were all basic cultivation techniques or some secret techniques, and the price was not low.
Some vendors even took out some spiritual medicines for sale, which attracted countless people to watch and scramble for them, and they were very popular.
In this regard, Li Qing just watched silently and did not get involved.
During this period of wandering, he also memorized the locations of the stalls of several things he needed to buy, so that he could come again next time.
The beast-controlling bags that can accommodate monsters, the storage bags with larger capacity, the beast-feeding pills, and the beast-raising pills all appeared at this trade fair.
In addition, he also saw some stalls selling spiritual materials for refining weapons, and even saw the ink gold he owned.
A piece of black gold the size of a fist was actually worth dozens of spiritual stones, which made Li Qing secretly shocked.
But when you think about it being a spiritual material that can be used to refine mid-grade magic weapons, it's not surprising.
"It's a pity that there are too few shops selling elixirs for monks. There are only one or two. Those elixirs for improving one's cultivation or breaking through realms were robbed as soon as they were put on display!"
Li Qing didn't intend to fight for it, as that would be too conspicuous.
Although there were many people at the trade fair, most of the people vying for these pills were casual cultivators in the middle stage of Qi refining. It was indeed inappropriate for him to participate.
After careful consideration, Li Qing gave up immediately.
At this moment, a cry of exclamation resounded, directly detonating the entire trade fair. Even some stall owners who were setting up stalls almost couldn't help but rush over.
"This is the Spirit Condensing Pill!"
These words were like dropping a depth charge into the field, and the movement caused was extremely exaggerated.
Condensing Spirit Pill! Pills that help break through the late stages of Qi refining!
This kind of elixir is definitely the most precious thing for most of the monks present who are stuck in the middle stage of Qi refining.
And today, someone selling this kind of elixir appeared at the trade fair, which is really amazing!
"Hiss! It's really fake. How could someone sell this at the trade fair? It's too late to eat it yourself!"
"It's true. It's indeed the Spirit Condensing Pill. I've seen it once!"
"No wonder, the person selling the elixir is a monk from the Liu family. No wonder he can produce this elixir."
"That's not surprising, that's not surprising"
"Hmph, taking pills to achieve a breakthrough is harmful to the road, so I don't bother to take it."
"You are the first person I have ever seen who can talk about the lack of spirit stones in such a fresh and refined way!"
Listening to these talks, Li Qing's heart moved, and he walked in the opposite direction to where the crowd was gathering.
The Spirit Condensing Pill was very precious, and he naturally wanted it very much, but it was only used by monks at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he had no need for it yet.
It would be better to take advantage of the fact that the attention of most people present is attracted, sneak back and change into a set of clothes, and then come back to buy what you need.
Absolutely no one paid attention to Li Qing now, because the elixir stall set up by the Liu family monks was immediately surrounded by water.
I have to say that Li Qing’s idea is very subtle!
