Chapter 34: The Yifu Conference
Within a cup of tea, Ling Zheng followed the flow of people and climbed to the peak of the Yifu Conference.
Looking at the orderly Yifu Conference in front of him, with many stalls and a lot of people, Ling Zheng only felt that the trade fair he had participated in in Baihe Valley before was really pediatric.
The area on the top of this mountain is quite large, and the stalls are neatly arranged in order, and the number of cultivators who sell things and buy things adds up to at least five or six thousand.
In just one trade fair in this area, there were five or six thousand cultivators participating, so what a terrifying number of cultivators in the entire continent combined?
Not to mention, there were still mortals on the continent who far exceeded the number of cultivators.
When he was reading books before, Ling Zheng felt that the continent was not very big, and the number of mortals and cultivators was not very large. But after such calculations, I realized how naΓ―ve my previous ideas were.
"It's ......shallow on paper," Ling Zheng muttered to himself, and then began to wander around the stalls.
At this Yi Fu Conference, there were only nearly forty percent of the stalls selling talismans, and there were not many disciples of the Divine Rune Sect. Most of the rest were cultivators who took advantage of the east wind of the Yi Fu Conference to come over and set up stalls to sell some things that they couldn't use.
Among these people, there are both immortal and demonic path cultivators, but they are all in harmony.
At least for the time being, it is a group of harmony, and after the Yi Fu Conference, it is unknown whether these people will secretly kill others because of their eyes.
Anyway, after each Yi Fu Conference, the disciples of the Divine Rune Sect would find one or two hundred corpses that were unrecognizable near their mountain gate.
Therefore, being able to get what you want without offending others is a highly learned technical job.
Ling Zheng wasn't worried about this, anyway, what he wanted to buy was only a defensive talisman, and there shouldn't be many people who would fight him.
Ling Zheng took a closer look, only a few of the people who set up stalls to sell talismans at this Yi Fu Conference were the old masters of the Divine Rune Sect, and after Ling Zheng probed with his spiritual sense, he found that these people were all masters of the Foundation Building Realm.
As for the others who sold talismans, they were all disciples of the Divine Rune Sect of the Spirit Condensing Realm.
But don't think that these rune sect disciples don't have good goods in their hands. The Divine Rune Sect has a very strange tradition, when every disciple in the Spiritual Condensation Realm in the sect celebrates his birthday, the Divine Rune Sect Master Church personally sends someone to send a second-grade talisman as a birthday gift, and it is not low quality.
Because of this, the disciples of the Divine Rune Sect are very loyal to their own sect, and since the day the Divine Rune Sect was founded, there has been no incident or rebellion of the disciples.
After thinking about it, Ling Zheng felt that it would be better for him to go and see the stalls set up by those Rune Sect disciples. Because those old and refined Foundation Building Realm masters are likely to have some special means to see his true appearance.
It never hurts to be cautious.
Walking to the blank booth set up by a short and fat young man wearing the costume of a disciple of the Divine Rune Sect, Ling Zheng squatted down and asked in a low voice, "You sell talismans?"
"Of course, what kind of talisman do you want to buy? I, Liu Chong, are in our Divine Rune Gate, but the famous talisman warehouse ......."
The short and fat rune gate boy named Liu Chong saw that not long after the stall was placed, a buyer came to the door and introduced it excitedly.
"I'd like to buy some defensive talismans. Ling Zheng said lightly: "How many do you have?"
Liu Chong's fat face was shiny, and he said, "Haha, if you say that you buy an offensive talisman, I may be a little weak." But there are as many talismans as there are to be used to save lives. β
Liu Chong is quite popular in the Rune Gate and is notoriously afraid of death, so he is very keen on collecting defensive talismans.
"Oh?" Ling Zheng was a little pleased, but his voice was still calm, and said, "What kind of talisman do you have, you might as well take it out and take a look." β
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. Liu Chong said, took out a thick pile of talismans from the Qiankun bag on his waist, put it on the stall, and said with a smile: "How about it, this amount is shocking enough, right?"
Ling Zheng also knew the rules, knowing that he didn't hand over the talisman directly to himself, because he was afraid that he would trap him, and while laughing in his heart, he lowered his head and picked up the talisman.
But after just a few glances, Ling Zheng shook his head.
These talismans are all depicted with first-order spells such as Earth Wall Technique, Water Wall Technique, Wind Ring Technique, Fire Shield Technique, etc., that is, first-order defensive talismans. There are also a lot of talismans of this level, and there are a lot of them in Ling Zheng's storage ring, and in terms of effect, they are at least three percent stronger than Liu Chong's talismans.
After all, Ling Zheng's talismans were all made with attributeless spiritual power.
"You may be mistaken. Ling Zheng gently put the pile of first-order talismans back on the stall and said, "What I want is a defensive talisman with stronger effect, at least a second-order talisman, do you have it?"
"Second-order talismans?"
Liu Chong carefully looked at Ling Zheng, who was covered by the black robe, and knew that Ling Zheng was a cultivator of the Great Perfection of the Spirit Condensation Realm. He moved his fat face forward a little and said in a low voice, "Daoist friends really want to buy a second-order talisman?"
"You didn't?" Ling Zheng said as he stood up.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist, I have!" Liu Chong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Ling Zheng, and then said in a low voice: "But...... The second-order talismans I have here are all made by the master, and the effect is naturally not comparable to ordinary second-order defensive talismans. So, the price is ......"
Only then did Ling Zheng understand that he was afraid that he would not be able to afford the price.
He crouched down again and whispered, "I'll have to look at the talisman first." You don't have to worry about the price, as long as you take out the talisman that satisfies me, I won't treat you badly. β
As he spoke, Ling Zheng took out a second-grade low-grade elixir from the storage ring, held it in his hand, and shook it in front of Liu Chong's eyes.
Liu Chong was stunned, and his heart was full of ecstasy.
This person actually wants to exchange the second-grade pill for my talisman? Moreover, the elixir just now has a strong blue light, and it must be of extremely high quality!
Liu Chong, a seventh-order disciple of the Spirit Condensation Realm, could only take a pint pill to improve his cultivation. The second-grade elixir, he didn't even dare to dream about it.
Without waiting for Liu Chong to call out, Ling Zheng said in a low voice: "Don't make a noise, otherwise I'll go buy someone else's talisman." β
Liu Chong obediently closed his mouth, and said with a brighter smile: "Okay, I'll take it out and show it to Daoyou." β
After that, Liu Chong's fat hand reached into the Qiankun bag and took out more than a dozen flashes of spiritual light from the Qiankun bag.
The aura is outward, which is a characteristic of high-quality talismans. Ling Zheng only glanced at it a few times, and then believed what Liu Chong said before.
On these runes, there is a very special mark, which is thought to be left by the head of the rune sect.
When will I be able to make such a high-quality talisman like the master of the Divine Rune Sect?
Ling Zheng looked at the talisman in Liu Chong's hand and thought to himself.
"Fellow Daoist, three of these second-order talismans are Wind Spirit Cover, Water Shield Guard, and Barrier Technique, and the others are mutated attribute talismans, such as Thunder Bell Technique, Void Shadow Cover, Vajra Protector, Xuanbing Shield, ......"
Liu Chong introduced the effects and attributes of these talismans in detail. Ling Zheng nodded secretly after hearing this, and asked, "What price do you come up with?"
Liu Chong pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "The kind of pill that Daoyou just took out, how about three for one talisman?"
"You'd better keep it and sell it to someone else. β
Ling Zheng pretended to sigh: "I saw that you were more generous, so I chose to buy your talisman." I can't think of ......."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm kidding. Then what price do you want to buy it with?" Liu Chong saw that there was no pit for Ling Zheng, and hurriedly said.
"Three for two. The quality of your talisman is very good, but you also saw the quality of my elixir just now. Ling Zheng said: "Besides, you only have the cultivation of the seventh order of the Spirit Condensing Realm, and most of you will not need these talismans for the time being." Instead of leaving them idle and watching them slowly drain their spirituality, it is better to exchange for some elixirs that can improve their cultivation. Whether it is a loss or a gain, you think for yourself. β
Liu Chong listened to Ling Zheng's words and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, deal......!
"I can exchange fifteen pills for these nine talismans. Ling Zheng said in a low voice: "But I have something to entrust to you." β
Liu Chong didn't expect to have extra income, so he immediately nodded like pounding garlic, and hurriedly said: "What's the matter, Daoyou just said it." β
"I still need ten more of these second-order defensive talismans. Ling Zheng returned the nine talismans in his hand to Liu Chong and said, "The price is the same as just now, if you can do it, then the extra pill is yours." β
Without waiting for Liu Chong to speak, Ling Zheng said, "An hour later, I will wait for you in the hall that provides books for foreign cultivators. Whether you come or not is your business. By the way, my name is Zheng Ling. β
"An hour?"
Only then did Liu Chong vaguely realize how strong this "Zheng Ling" net worth was, this kind of person was definitely not something he could provoke.
He jumped up from the ground like his butt was on fire, quickly closed the stall, and said, "Zheng Daoyou, I'll go find it for you right away." You'll have to be there then. β
With a whoosh, Liu Chong disappeared.
Ling Zheng felt a little funny in his heart, and seeing that the matter of buying defensive talismans had been settled, he got up and began to move to other stalls.
The specifications of this Yifu Conference are indeed very high, and after shopping for half an hour, Ling Zheng has already found that many stalls have spiritual weapons for sale, and there are more than 20 spiritual weapons of the first and second grades. But the price is undoubtedly high.
Ling Zheng was very fond of those spiritual weapons, and also estimated the price of those spiritual weapons, feeling that he could exchange them for his own elixir. But he was obviously not that stupid, because the people who sold the spiritual weapons at this Yi Fu Conference were all some cultivators who were not young and very old, and they had both immortals and demons. If he took out a large number of high-quality second-grade pills to exchange for spiritual weapons at once, in case he was remembered by those people, it would be a question of whether he could live after leaving the Divine Rune Gate.
After thinking about it, Ling Zheng could only give up this idea.
After that, Ling Zheng turned around again, and his gaze suddenly fixed on a very deserted stall.
"It seems that I can buy a good thing again. β
Ling Zheng muttered to himself, thought carefully for a while, and after making a plan, walked to the stall.
