Chapter 60: Baihua Valley Treasure House "I just don't know if the few spiritual stones I have now are enough to buy something I want at the exchange meeting." Xiao Changqing held the invitation in his hand, thinking secretly. After demonstrating his first-grade, mid-quality talisman skills, Xiao Changqing became the second highest paid talisman master in the Lingfu Pavilion, second only to the first-grade, top-quality talisman master Wu Qingquan. In addition to working 'hard' every month, his monthly salary is about five hundred low-grade spirit stones. However, because of the high daily expenses, the rent of the B-level cave is relatively small. Most of the money is invested by Xiao Changqing in himself to increase the speed of his cultivation. So he doesn't have much savings now. All together, there are only more than 1,700 low-grade spirit stones. This amount of spirit stones is an astronomical figure for most of the lower-level and even middle-level cultivators in Nanshanfang. If I had so many spirit stones, I could just lie down in Nanshanfang! But for a cultivator who wants to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is nothing.
These spirit stones are enough to buy a first-grade top-grade magic weapon, or a storage bag with decent space, some second-grade materials, etc. As for the second-level magic weapons, even the relatively cheapest and least useful second-level talisman pen, the market price is around two thousand low-grade spirit stones. So while Xiao Changqing was happy, he was also worried that if he came across something good he wanted at the exchange meeting, he would be upset if he couldn't afford it. "Unless I take out the second-level talisman in my hand for trading?" The normal selling price of a second-level low-grade talisman in major immortal cities is at least nearly two hundred low-grade spirit stones. If the type is rare and the effect is good, the price will more than double. This is the case in peacetime most of the time, but it is another price in wartime. But in short, in a remote place like Nanshanfang, second-level talismans are almost rare items that are hard to come by. If Xiao Changqing dares to sell them, the price will definitely have a certain room for increase. "If I have no choice, I can trade the second-level talisman. No one in the entire Nanshanfang will think that the second-level talisman I took out was drawn by myself. They will only guess that I had some kind of adventure, or that it was given to me by the previous talisman master Lu Qiu, or by Shopkeeper Hong." "Who made me only a first-level middle-grade Talisman Master now? I'm still a long way from becoming a second-level Talisman Master?" "Even Zhou Changkong can't find fault with me and accuse me of embezzling money..." Xiao Changqing thought to himself. of course. If it is not necessary, it is best not to take it out. He didn't want to reveal the secret that he had second-level talismans, and these second-level talismans were also his trump cards to enhance his sense of security. It is not easy to collect new materials for making second-level talismans in Nanshanfang. …… Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. The day of the exchange meeting has arrived.
Before Xiao Changqing went out, Lin Ziyu helped Xiao Changqing tidy up his clothes and dressed, and suddenly took out a bulging purse. "Master, this is all the savings of my concubine and my sister, a total of 439 low-grade spirit stones. Master, if you come across a treasure you want to buy but don't have enough spirit stones, you can use this first..." Lin Ziyu's eyes were full of affection as she spoke gently and tactfully. "so much?" Xiao Changqing was surprised that the two sisters had so much savings. Even though Lin Zixi and Xiao Changqing had worked together for a year before and started their own business, the two sisters also had expenses over the years. With more than 400 spirit stones, I'm afraid they had given it all to help him without reservation. At the same time, Xiao Changqing secretly sighed at Lin Ziyu's thoughtfulness, as he could think of the fact that he needed spirit stones today. Of course, the happiest thing is that Lin Ziyu has this heart. "I may need the spiritual stones today. I will return them to you later." Xiao Changqing thought about it and accepted the spiritual stones without any pretense. Although he was afraid of getting into trouble because of a woman, as long as the other party was sensible, Xiao Changqing would definitely not treat her badly. "Everything I have belongs to the Master." Lin Ziyu said softly. Then she paused and continued, "It was actually Zixi's idea. She guessed that the Master might need spirit stones today, so she asked me to prepare them for the Master." "Really?" Xiao Changqing did not comment. Lin Ziyu nodded and said in a coquettish voice: "In fact, Zixi has already devoted herself to the master..." …… …… The venue of the exchange meeting is in Cave No. 1 of the B-level Cave, which has been the rule for many years. The cultivator currently living in the first Grade B cave abode is the owner of Baibao Tower, a female cultivator who has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, named Ruan Qingzhu. This female cultivator, like Zhou Changkong, was sent by Baihua Valley, the Jindan sect behind Baibao Tower. But the difference between Baihua Valley and Luoxia Sect is that the cultivators in Baihua Valley are almost all female cultivators. In addition, they are very good at making robes. The robes produced by Baihua Valley may not be the most powerful or the best in quality, but they are definitely the best looking and the styles most in line with the aesthetic tastes of the majority of monks. Therefore, the robes produced by Baihua Valley are very popular in the entire Dayu immortal cultivation world. Female cultivators like to wear it, and male cultivators also like female cultivators to wear it... At the beginning, Zhou Yun'e asked Xiao Changqing many times to find a way to buy her an authentic robe from Baihua Valley. As a branch of Baihuagu Holdings, Baibaolou sells the most robes. But since it is called "Baibaolou", it is not limited to robes, but also sells various other items. Except that they didn't want to compete with Lingfu Pavilion and didn't sell talismans, they sold all other things, such as elixirs, puppets, beast eggs, spiritual medicines, materials... Master Zhu of Yijiu Cave Mansion has reached the first-class upper level in alchemy skills. He is the best alchemist in Nanshanfang and now has the support of Baibao Tower. He can be regarded as a 'guest official' of Baibao Tower, and most of the pills he refines are sold through Baibao Tower. Of course, unlike the Lingfu Pavilion which can restrain the talisman master, Master Zhu Dan also has the right to dispose of his own elixirs. Yijiu and Yishi were next to each other. Master Zhu Dan was very enthusiastic and even came to Xiao Changqing's cave to make an appointment to go to the exchange conference together. "Master Xiao Fu, I have long heard of your great name! In the past two years, your legend has been spreading everywhere in Nanshanfang. You have become a role model for countless independent practitioners."
Master Zhu Dan looks to be about 40 years old, a plump middle-aged man, somewhat honest and easy to talk to. But what it actually looks like is unknown. In the world of cultivating immortals, the worst thing you can do is judge people by their appearance. "It's just some empty reputation. Master Zhu Dan, thank you for your praise. Master Zhu Dan is the number one alchemist in Nanshanfang. No one can match your alchemy skills. Please take care of me in the future." Xiao Changqing was naturally very modest and impeccable. Master Zhu shook his head and said, "In my lifetime, there is no hope for me to be promoted to a second-level master of alchemy, otherwise I would not be hiding in this small Nanshan Square. Master Xiao Fu, you are different. You are young and have amazing talent. Perhaps in a few years, you will be promoted to a second-level master of talismans and soar to the sky!" Xiao Changqing was just about to say a few more humble words. Master Zhu Dan suddenly chuckled, and his small eyes narrowed, revealing a look that every man could understand, and whispered, "The most enviable ones are Master Xiao Fu's two concubines... Tsk tsk, sisters, they really enjoy the blessing of having two wives!" "..." Xiao Changqing had forgotten that this Master Zhu Dan was an old pervert. As the number one alchemist in Nanshanfang, why did he choose to cooperate exclusively with Baibaolou after coming to Nanshanfang? Are the conditions offered by Baibaolou the highest? No. The conditions offered by the four major foundation-building families at that time were no less favorable than those offered by Baibaolou. The main reason is that Master Zhu Dan fell in love with Ruan Qingzhu, who was from Baihua Valley, at first sight and has been pursuing her all these years. (End of this chapter)
