The following is the text of the novel (Author: Long Sword Pitian) provided for you, please enjoy!
"Isn't it very lively, this is a twenty-year trading event, all sects and sects have sent people to participate, and now what you see is only the outermost trading area, and it is also a transaction between some loose cultivators or small sects. If you really want to talk about big deals, you can only see them in the central area www.biquge.info of the city. There, the auction house established by our sect is the place where good things gather, and in a few days, the largest auction in Heavenly Star City will also be held there, and all sects and factions will send people to participate at that time. You must know that such a grand event is only held once in a hundred years, and the ten major forces take turns to hold it in their own cities. This time, it happened to be our turn in the Yuehua Sect. Qiu Yuqing came to Long Xingyu's side at this time, and introduced with a little pride, she looked like a child, after getting her favorite toy, she always wanted to show off to others.
"Is it a trading event once every twenty years? It sounds like a gimmick, but I don't know what good things will be, but forget it, anyway, I'm just at the right time, and there's no need to compete with those big sects for anything." Although they won't lose to them in terms of financial strength, it would be too high-profile, and if they were targeted, it would be worth the loss. However, now it seems that this Celestial Star City is still quite lively, so this time it should be lively. Long Xingyu thought faintly.
"Hey, aren't you reacting? It's a big event, and I haven't seen it a few times, so why do you have to act like you don't care. Seeing that Long Xingyu still looked indifferent, Qiu Yuqing couldn't help but be a little angry.
"So, little girl, what will be there at this fair? Also, aren't you from a big sect, and besides, didn't you say that this is just a place for casual cultivation and small sects that like to visit, why do your two sisters still have to buy some materials that are not rare. Long Xingyu was a little hairy, so he casually talked about the topic.
"Cut, I don't even understand this, I really don't know how you grew up, let me tell you, in this trade fair, there are a lot of good things, of course, some of them are concentrated in the central trading area. However, the really good things are actually in the hands of those loose cultivators, and they may not all go to the central trading area, so it is necessary to go out and have a look. Just like the materials that my two sisters bought, although the quality may not be very good, but in fact they are materials with huge uses, due to the withering of the spiritual energy of the cultivation realm now, these materials are almost extinct, and the central trading area may not be able to touch them, and even if they do, they will often fight for the head. Qiu Yuqing couldn't help but explain.
"However, if you want to talk about real treasures, they will all appear at auctions, such as high-quality magic weapons, elixirs, exercises, etc., which are often not seen outside. In addition, there may be some strange things at the auction, and maybe there will be high-quality pets to be auctioned. You know, pets with good qualifications are difficult to catch. These pets, in battle, are very good helpers, and their effects are not even lower than the value of magic weapons. If you are lucky enough to catch the cubs of fairy beasts and divine beasts, or find fairy beasts and divine beast eggs, those can be auctioned at sky-high prices. Qiu Yuqing said that later, she was even more excited to dance.
"Oh!" let out a faint sigh, Long Xingyu didn't seem to have much feeling for any of this, which made Qiu Yuqing, who had originally planned to see Long Xingyu show an embarrassed look of surprise, very dissatisfied.
In fact, does Long Xingyu really not feel much as he appeared? Of course not, at this moment, Long Xingyu even felt a little moved in his heart. Magic weapons, elixirs, these things, what you have are materials, if you have time, you can learn to refine. Don't underestimate Long Xingyu's refining water products, after all, "Demon God No. 1" is a high-grade spiritual weapon-level work, although it is assisted by some scientific and technological means, it cannot be regarded as a pure refining weapon, but the result is fine.
In terms of alchemy, although Long Xingyu hadn't tried it much, he believed that with his own ability, he could achieve certain achievements. After all, in the primary alchemy, as long as there is enough time, patience, and enough materials, an individual can make some achievements, but the quality of the pill may not be much better. And Long Xingyu is not lacking in the three, and more importantly, he also has the technology that cultivators are not good at, so it is not too difficult to analyze the composition and weight, and it is not too difficult to synthesize it directly with various materials.
"Speaking of which, don't you want to buy something?" Qiu Yuqing asked as she looked at Long Xingyu with an indifferent face.
"Well, oh, there's nothing to buy, we're poor, we don't have any background, I can't afford these things. Rather than looking at the greed, it is better to simply ignore it. Pouting, Long Xingyu couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and said.
"Oh, yes, I feel as if you disdain these things, am I wrong? Qiu Yuqing muttered suspiciously.
"Hey, let me ask you another question, haven't you ever used a magic pill, and besides, don't you even have a magic weapon? But when I chased you by the pool before, wasn't your sword a very good magic weapon. As she spoke, Qiu Yuqing continued to stare at Long Xingyu. Qiu Zhixin and Qiu Ruoshui on the side did not stop their little sister's questioning, after all, these are all they want to know, but they can't pull down and ask. Although the two of them seemed to be buying materials at this moment, they were actually focusing all their attention on Long Xingyu's answer.
"No, until now, I have all relied on my own hard work to cultivate, and I have never taken any elixir at all. How can I be like you, there is a big sect behind my back, there is no shortage of spirit stones, pills, and magic weapons, but I am an authentic casual cultivator, but there is no force behind me to pay for me. It is estimated that if you can reach this level at this age, you must have the support of pills! Tsk, it is indeed enough to let a random little hairy girl in the sect be promoted to this level, it is indeed atmospheric and luxurious. Long Xingyu said lightly.
"Cut, that's fate. However, you really don't have any background, generally speaking, if you want to cultivate to this level without any background, it's very time-consuming, are you hundreds of years old! Hey, then I should call you an old man, but you, an old man, actually came to spy on a few of our little girls taking a bath, it's really shameful. Qiu Yuqing snorted.
"Hundreds of years old...... Voyeur ......" Long Xingyu at this moment felt very speechless, being said to be an old man by a girl who was older than his two lives combined, and he was also beaten by a good number of students, and everyone would be crazy if they were changed.
"Hey, isn't it, but didn't you say that you have no background, you can't afford the elixir magic weapon, and you still cultivate by yourself, wouldn't it take hundreds of years to reach this level? Hmph, and you actually have the habit of voyeurism, saying it will make the entire cultivation of the true path despised. Saying that, Qiu Yuqing couldn't help but make a look of "I despise you" and said.
"Listen, little girl, ahem. I'm not hundreds of years old, and I'm not even a hundred years old now, so don't call me an old man. Long Xingyu couldn't help but say angrily. "Besides, I said, I didn't peek at you taking a shower, that's a pure misunderstanding. ”
"Hmph, I don't care if you misunderstood, anyway, you have seen other people's bodies, if you dare not be responsible, we will not agree. Even if the sect doesn't take any measures against you, I will tell the world about it, and make you a street rat and be despised by the entire True Dao of Cultivation. How about it, old, people, home!", Qiu Yuqing said with a look of eating Ding Long Xingyu.
"Okay, count yourself ruthless. Little girl piece. Not to be outdone, Long Xingyu replied.
"Ah, didn't you say that you were not a hundred years old, aren't you younger than me, in this case, wouldn't it be too rude for you to call me a little girl. Hmph, in order to punish you for the sin of not respecting your elders, call Sister Sheng to listen. Qiu Yuqing shook her finger and said.
"Didn't you call me an old man, then shouldn't I call you a little girl. As for the elders, the elders are not the same as the elders, you little girl should save it. Saying that, Long Xingyu couldn't help but turn his head.
"Hmph, love calls you what is my freedom. When it's you, you have to call my sister to listen. Otherwise, I'll make it public that you peeked at us taking a bath, and you will be spurned by all people. Qiu Yuqing couldn't help but threaten.
Don't turn your head and ignore this nonsense little girl, Long Xingyu directly ignored her.
"You, you ......" Qiu Yuqing pointed at Long Xingyu, not knowing what to say.
"That's enough, Qing'er, stop making such pointless arguments. We've gathered everything we need to prepare, so let's go back now. Qiu Zhixin approached and said.
"But, sister, look at him, he doesn't take me seriously, he is younger than me next year, but he calls me a little girl, you have to make decisions for me. With that, Qiu Yuqing stepped forward and took Qiu Zhixin's arm and said.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, let's hurry back, the master is still waiting for these materials." Qiu Ruoshui walked from the side.
"That'...... Hey, the one surnamed Long, you can remember it for this girl, and I'll settle accounts with you when the time comes. Qiu Yuqing couldn't help but wave her pink fist.
"Your Excellency, please come with us, and we will go to the sect. With that, Qiu Ruoshui walked towards the center of the city first.
"That Ruoshui girl, is your sect built in this city? Seeing that the three sisters of the Qiu family were walking towards the center of the city with them instead of going out of the city, Long Xingyu couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Hmph, you don't know anything, you can think of it with your toes, who will build the sect in the city if you have nothing to do. Yuehua Sect is still far away from here, even if it flies, it will take more than ten hours. Now, we're just heading to the City Lord's Mansion. Qiu Yuqing did not forget to sneer.
"Yes, I don't know. However, is your master in the City Lord's Mansion?" Long Xingyu said slightly helplessly.
"Of course not, our master is in the Yuehua Sect, so he didn't have the leisure to come here. Saying that, Qiu Yuqing couldn't help but show a strange look.
Long Xingyu also noticed this, but he didn't think much about it, just said that their master was a cultivation maniac, and it was normal for him to not have time to participate in this kind of trade fair.
However, there is one thing that also puzzles Long Xingyu, since the master of the three girls who want to take them to see is inside the Yuehua Sect, and the Yuehua Sect is not in this city, then what kind of thing is it to go to the City Lord's Mansion now. Although he was puzzled in his heart, Long Xingyu didn't ask out loud, he was already despised by Qiu Yuqing's little girl, even if he ignored her, if he continued to make her noisy in his ears like a sparrow, he couldn't stand it.
After traveling for more than half an hour, this time, Qiu Ruoshui and Qiu Zhixin did not buy anything more, so the group of four people passed through the outer area at a slow speed. Finally, I came to the center of the city, and as far as the eye could see, the roads here were much wider than those on the periphery, and there were no stalls here to buy and sell, but instead shops with a large area.
At this moment, the shops on both sides of the road can be described as full of people, all kinds of people walking through it, a busy and lively scene. And Long Xingyu unexpectedly in the city, there are still many ordinary people living, wine shops, teahouses, restaurants, and inns are not uncommon. During the exchanges, the monks and mortals were also very polite, and there was no tendency to be superior, which made Long Xingyu very surprised.
seemed to see Long Xingyu's surprise, so Qiu Yuqing did not forget to take the opportunity to sarcastically say: "Is it difficult, do you think that there are no ordinary people in the cultivation realm, don't you forget, the mortal realm is the foundation of the cultivation realm, and there are mortals in this city, what's so strange." In fact, about half of the people in this city are mortals who have not cultivated at all. ”
"Then why didn't I see any mortals in that place just now? Long Xingyu couldn't help but ask.
"That's because, the place we passed through earlier was a trading area for monks, and how could they mortals run to participate. "The one who speaks is Qiu Ruoshui.
Nodding, Long Xingyu said he understood. Think about it, too, the life of mortals is for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. What's the use of them asking for those magic weapons and the like, and besides, they don't have any spars to buy, and there is no need to run to join in the fun.
Bypassing the streets, finally, the four of them came to a majestic city lord's mansion, and the gatekeeper saw that it was the three sisters of the Qiu family who came with an outsider, and they didn't ask anything, so they put Long Xingyu in together.
"Now, where should we go, are we going to see the lord of the city? Entering the mansion, Long Xingyu followed the three girls through the rooms and couldn't help asking.
"No, we'll just leave through the teleportation array. As Qiu Zhixin spoke, the four of them had already come to a backyard clearing, only to see that there was a whirlpool-like portal in the clearing, which was slowly rotating there.
"Passing through here, it's the Yuehua Sect, you have to follow well, even if you want to run now, it's impossible. As she spoke, Qiu Yuqing pushed Long Xingyu towards the direction of the teleportation array.
He shook his head helplessly, but Long Xingyu still followed behind Qiu Zhixin and stepped into the teleportation array.
