Chapter 24 Trade Fairs
Chapter 24 Trade Fairs
Xiaohan is the twenty-third of the 24 solar terms, and also marks the beginning of the coldest days of the year.
Xixi Wetland is located in the west of Hangzhou, where the rivers crisscross and cross, the waterways are like alleys, the islands are scattered, the winter in the south is wet and cold, the cold air containing rich water can quickly take away the heat of the human body, the wetland river entanglement adds a bit of chill, and tourists are even rarer.
On an island deep in the wetlands is a manor of the royal family of Hangzhou, which is the site of the fair.
Ying Jun also learned through Senior Brother Mingzhi that this trade fair was hosted by the Hangcheng Wang family, and mainly invited various sects, cultivation families and some loose cultivators who had no sects and no sects in the south.
Early in the morning, he drove straight to Hangzhou, and after arriving at the Hangcheng BMW sales center, he made the first insurance for the car, and turned out a number in his mobile phone and dialed it directly.
So Boss Wang unexpectedly received a call from Ying Jun, and heard on the phone that the other party wanted to participate in the trade fair, but this trade fair was held for cultivators, and you are a nouveau riche who wants to float to the sky!
didn't wait for him to refuse, and heard the other party say that the aura had entered the body was the qi training period, which surprised him, luck was really against the sky, and it was the void stone and the qi training period was fierce, this boss should come prepared, this really can't refuse.
So Ying Jun smoothly followed the Wang family's clansmen into the manor, and walked all the way to a hall, where dozens of fellow Taoists who came to participate in the trade fair sat in groups of three or two, and in the middle of the front sat more than a dozen Taoist chiefs wearing Taoist robes.
"Daoist Xuancheng, Senior Brother Mingzhi..."
Xuan Zhenzi and Narushi, who were sipping fragrant tea in the manor hall, saw Ying Jun greeting them, smiled and got up to make a bow.
"I've seen Xiaoyou again," Xuan Zhenzi said with a smile: "No, you should be called Daoyou now, congratulations to Daoyou for stepping into the Dao of Xiuzhen!"
Ying Jun also hurriedly clenched his fists and respectfully replied: "Daoist Xuancheng, you are polite, you should call me by my name directly! If it weren't for your Qi Refining Technique and Qi Cultivation Pill, the kid would still be an ordinary man now." ”
Not only did Xuan Zhenzi help him solve the big trouble of the Void Stone, but he also thanked him for the cultivation method he gifted, as well as the various problems of Ming Zhi in his usual life.
"Haha~ It's still a Taoist friend with a deep fortune!
Xuan Zhenzi also saw Ying Jun's sincerity, and after laughing, he continued: "Come on, come on, and introduce you to a few Taoist masters of the Daomen." ”
At this time, several Taoist masters next to him were also attracted by the conversation between Xuan Zhenzi and Ying Jun, and they were all curious about how such a young Xuan Zhenzi could be so valued.
"This is the head of the Minwen Dao of Hecheng Xiuzhen Temple, this is the Haolin Daoist of Gusu Xuanmiaoguan, and this is the Hanchong Daoist of Tongcheng Xiangyun Temple..."
Ying Jun knew that the cultivation that could be solemnly introduced by Daoist Xuancheng was at least above the innate level, and he respectfully hugged his fists one by one and saluted.
Xuan Zhenzi pointed to Narushi and several young trail corresponders and said:
"Ying Xiaoyou, let Ming Zhi take you to understand the details of this trade fair first, and you young people will also have more exchanges. ”
"Thank you Daoist Xuancheng," Ying Jun said respectfully to several Dao Chiefs: "Kid excuse me, those Dao Elders are chatting slowly, and I have the opportunity to come and pay my respects to all Dao Elders again!"
Several Taoist elders also nodded their heads one by one, people are young and polite, and they are respected by Xuan Zhenzi, and they will not rely on the old and sell the old.
Several young Taoists sitting behind the Daoist also got up immediately after hearing this, and walked out of the hall with Ying Junmingzhi, sitting behind a few foundation building and innate stage monks, although they didn't dare to breathe, they couldn't talk too much, and they were still very depressed.
"Senior Brother Ying, let me introduce you..."
Naruto was halfway through his speech when he was interrupted by a chubby Taoist priest next to him.
"I'm Li Tianlin of Xiangyunguan, Ming Zhi often talks about Senior Brother Ying on QQ, saying that Senior Brother Ying has been practicing for less than a month to the Qi training period, and today I finally met the real person, hahahaha~"
"That's right! Senior Brother Ying is really powerful, I have also practiced in the temple since I was a child, and I only entered the body last year with the cultivation of Qi Pill Spiritual Qi, oh, by the way, I am Zhao Haibin of Gusu Xuanmiaoguan..."
"I'm Wu Zhiyuan of Hecheng Cultivation Truth, and I've seen Senior Brother Ying..."
"Hello senior brothers, senior brothers are polite!"
Ying Jun hugged his fists and bowed to a few senior brothers, and said eagerly: "Senior brother, I am not like you senior brothers who have heard and seen the past and the present since childhood, and I have also followed the teachers to see a lot of knowledge, I really hope that you senior brothers can teach more!"
Knowing more of a fellow cultivator, there will be more connections, which is a good thing for him, who is still very new to the world of cultivation, and he must be familiar with all kinds of rules and taboos, otherwise he may offend people.
"Senior Brother Ying can rest assured, not to mention that you are also practicing the mental method of our Daomen, and you are the junior brother of Ming Zhi, even if you are fellow practitioners in the south, everyone will support each other. ”
The chubby Li Tianlin kindly pulled Ying Jun's arm and said, he is also self-cooked, with a wide heart and a fat body and a bold temper, and everyone is in their twenties.
"Senior Brother Tianlin is right!"
Wu Zhiyuan, who was a little older, also came over and patted Ying Jun's shoulder, and then said: "Senior Brother Ying and relieved, although you have not entered the Daomen, what you have learned is also the Daomen Mental Method, and you pay attention to the peace and integrity of the body, and you can be regarded as a disciple of the Daomen..."
As soon as Wu Zhiyuan's words fell, Zhao Haibin immediately continued: "Senior Brother Zhiyuan is right, our Daomen disciples are connected by the same line, and if Senior Brother Ying encounters any difficulties in the future, just come to find Senior Brother, haha~"
Without waiting for Ying Jun to thank him, Ming Zhi also came over and hugged Ying Jun's shoulders and said, "Senior Brother Ying, you're welcome, thank you for coming and thanking you, you don't bother us and we will trouble us to return the gift, come, you can first tell a few senior brothers how to practice Qi so quickly." ”
Hearing Senior Brother Mingzhi say this, Ying Jun was no longer polite, and after a long time, if several senior brothers were sincere to him, then he would have a good reward in the future.
So he took a few senior brothers to find a slightly secluded place, and began to talk about his experience from picking up the Void Stone, which was something that could be understood by inquiry, but he replaced the Chaos Bead with a place to go to North Yandang Mountain, saying that he listened to what Senior Brother Narushi said to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and then went there to camp, and tried to practice before entering the Tao by chance......
Everyone also praised the junior brother for his talent and blessings, and they valued this new junior brother a little more, maybe one day the junior brother will go all the way forward and become the first to become a senior, and they will also express their opinions freely on what the junior brother asks.
The royal family of Hangzhou has a profound heritage, Xixi Manor is usually used to receive all kinds of customers, but also to hold various meetings, all kinds of facilities are readily available, after the sumptuous dinner, each person arranges a room to rest, do not disturb each other.
In the neat and clean guest room, Ying Jun was silently smoking a cigarette, recalling the various news of the cultivation world told by the senior brothers.
With the advent of the end of the Dharma era, many seniors used the Void Stone to refine the small world before leaving this starry sky, and let the disciples with low cultivation move in, hoping to leave the Dao system fire, but unfortunately this small world needs the support of aura, once the aura is consumed, the small world will also collapse.
Some small worlds are naturally generated, so there is no danger of collapse, and there were several battles for survival thousands of years ago, and it was inevitable that the battle would get out of control.
Many caves and blessed lands have been shattered by some remaining powers, intentionally or unintentionally, and many sects have also become history due to previous wars, and then the aura has become thinner, and the powers are in danger of falling into the realm.
Many Yuan Infant Stage monks have also left, and there are very few Yuan Infant Venerables who are still on the Earth of the Ancestral Star, but they all gave up their plans to enter the Earth for the foundation of their own sect, otherwise too much spiritual energy consumption will affect the foundation of the sect, and it can be said that they are all sacrificing their lives to protect.
Usually, Jin Dan Zhenren rarely appears in the world, and most of them work hard to cultivate in the blessed land of the cave where the aura is relatively abundant, in order to be able to advance to the infant stage and continue to guard instead of the elders.
And the Jindan period only has a lifespan of more than 500 years, and many spiritual herbs and elixirs have become extinct, and I don't know how difficult it is for a mouthful of true yuan in the foundation building period to become a pill, and there is also a catastrophe, so the senior brothers all said that even their foundation building master does not know whether he can advance to the Jindan in this life, let alone break the pill into a baby.
Heaven and earth are not benevolent to all things as dogs, the cultivation of truth is against the sky, every step under the rules of heaven and earth is extremely difficult, cultivators are even more eager to improve their self-cultivation of things, can only communicate with each other, so there is also this trade fair.
Ying Jun looked at the deep night sky, not knowing what kind of scene would appear at tomorrow's trade fair.
The next morning, the hall had been rearranged with tables and chairs arranged in a circle around the middle stand, and when everyone was seated, a middle-aged man in a black cardigan walked up to the booth.
"Seniors, fellow friends in the cultivation world, contemptible Wang Jiming, welcome to Xixi Manor, this fair is honored to be hosted by my Wang family......"
Wang Jiming said a welcome speech, and then took out a swarthy ring from his waist with his right hand and said: "Then Wang Mou will throw bricks and lead jade first, the storage ring made of void stone refining has only one cubic meter of storage space, and bartering for things will inevitably laugh and be generous, just exchange some money, the starting price of 10 million, you can get the one with the highest price!"
Seeing this ring, Ying Jun couldn't help but be stunned, Ming Zhi on the side touched him with his elbow, and said softly: "Uncle Shi used the void stone to refine, and the head of the Wang family is generous." ”
However, Ying Jun didn't know anything about all kinds of cultivation materials now, and he didn't understand what Ming Zhi meant by generosity, but he was quickly attracted by the shouts one after another.
"Twenty million..."
"Thirty million!"
"Fifty million!"
“......”
"Okay, Wang thanked everyone for their support, and congratulated the Pengcheng Li family for winning the storage ring for 100 million yuan, and then please come to the stage to show the items traded..."
Ying Jun was stunned by the 100 million yuan to buy a storage ring, and it was not a pity that the Void Stone was sold cheaply at that time, but he felt that although he had 150 million cash in his card, he was really a poor person in the cultivation realm that Senior Brother Ming Zhi said.
Wang Jiming, the head of the Wang family, flashed aside after speaking, and gave up the position of the booth in the middle, waiting for all colleagues to come forward to show.
"I'll do it first!"
A big man with a beard walked up to the booth as he spoke, took out a jade box from his arms and put it on the booth and said, "Purple Spirit Grass in exchange for three Qi Cultivation Pills or one Spirit Power Pill!"
"Senior brother, what is the use of this purple spirit grass?"
"Senior Brother Ying, this purple spirit grass is one of the two main medicines for refining Qi Refining Pills, and a furnace of pills can produce at least twelve pills, but I don't know exactly how to exchange them. ”
Just as Ying Jun and Ming Zhi were whispering, the bearded man on the stage waited for a while, and when he saw that no one responded, he wanted to put away the jade box.
At this time, Daoist Xuan Cheng, who was sitting in the front row, said, "Old Dao is willing to exchange three Qi Cultivation Pills!"
Then, he walked up to the booth with a jade bottle, put the jade bottle on the booth, gestured to the beard, and the two checked each other's items separately, and nodded to each other after making sure that they were what they needed, and the transaction was successful.
"One Cleansing Pill in exchange for one Vajra grass..."
"One magic weapon in exchange for one jasper fruit..."
"I need a strain of Zhenyuan Dan's main medicine nine-leaf clover, and friends who have nine-leaf clover can find me privately!"
“......”
Ying Jun, who listened to all kinds of spiritual herbs and pills, was confused, in addition to the fact that the wealth of the Dharma companion was a little less, the couple was slowly increasing, and the law and the land were the strongest, and now what he lacked the most was the introduction and role of various items.
"Senior brother, are there any books on the introduction of various cultivation materials?"
Ming Zhi thought for a moment and said seriously: "Yes, I can find some books that are commonly used under the congenital for you, but above the foundation building period, they are now all treasured ancient books, and it is not easy to buy ancient books with money, so you have to exchange some materials and items." ”
Hearing this, Ying Jun began to think about his family background...
