Yundang Mountain is similar to Wu Mountain, both are places where scattered cultivators live together and form alliances.

The cave master of the thirty-sixth cave in Yundang Mountain is the master of this place.

But unlike the famous sects who sit in the cave, this kind of place where casual cultivators gather often only has one or two spiritual peaks, or shallow spiritual fields and blessed places. In order to support their disciples and accumulate wealth, the casual cultivators who live here also set up a banner.

, doing a lot of business for merchants.

Casual cultivators do not have the blessings of famous families, nor the ties of in-laws and allies. Even if they have seen the prototype of small and medium-sized aristocratic families like the elders in Tiangongfang, they are still only on a small scale. Here, they have the advantage of flexibility and convenience.

The big sects and aristocratic families are inconvenient to show up, but they are happy to see these casual cultivators trading and exchanging what they have, and even entering into alliances with the best among them to sell off their own cave properties and seize the world's wealth.

At the same time, they also serve as eyes, ears, and hands and feet, playing a decisive role.

This fair in Yundang Mountain can survive in the cracks of giants. Naturally, it has a famous background. It has been held as scheduled and has accumulated a lot of reputation. In the Wushan area and the mountains to the east of Tiannan, Dachuan casual cultivators, small and medium-sized sects

Disciples all like to come to this market to buy and sell treasures, exchange for what they need, and inquire about information.

Li Wan, Shi Haoguang and Xing Tongfang are currently on the shuttle boat in Tiangongfang.

This is a huge treasure, with all the pavilions, pavilions, and jade gardens on it. When you enter it, it feels like flat ground. But it flies very fast in the air, day and night, and has flown over thousands of rivers and mountains, reaching tens of thousands of miles.

There is a blessed land with rolling mountains outside.

Seeing this, Li Wan couldn't help but sigh: "Think about it, we traveled day and night from Chiyang Mountain Gate to Wushan League, traveling by land and water. I don't know how much hardship we endured before we could walk there on two feet. Traveling like this, I don't know.

How convenient."

Xing Tongfang smiled and said: "We travel hundreds of miles a day. From the perspective of ordinary people, it is also extremely fast. How can ordinary people cross mountains and ridges? However, from the perspective of powerful monks, the wanderings of us Qi Refining monks are nothing more than

If you take off and fly, if you grab an elm and stop, how can you have the freedom and ease that you have traveled ninety thousand miles?"

Li Wan agreed: "To open your eyes and see the world, you must have advanced cultivation. I don't know when we will reach that point."

Xing Tongfang said: "This is far away. The world is so big that we don't know how far it is hundreds of millions of miles away. Where we are now is Tiannan, but in other places, there are the East China Sea, the Northern Wasteland, the Western Regions, Zhongzhou...everywhere

The place is extremely vast, without the cultivation of a Yuanying master, how can it be possible to travel as much as you want?"

As he spoke, he looked a little lonely, but he knew very well that his talents were not high and his opportunities were limited. I am afraid that if he reaches the late stage of Qi refining in this life, he would reach his peak and could barely even build a foundation.

In such a state, not to mention traveling hundreds of millions of miles away, even thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, even a large worldly country, is somewhat beyond its capabilities.

"Whatever level you reach, there will be a certain pattern. After all, we are just people thousands of miles away." At this point, Xing Tongfang suddenly looked at Li Wan and said firmly, "But Fellow Daoist Li is different from us. Fellow Daoist Li has a bright future.

In the future, I will definitely be able to travel around the world, and I will do it for the people of the world."

Li Wan knew that he was flattering him, so he laughed and said, "Fellow Taoist Xing, you are joking."

Xing Tongfang said, "I am serious. You, Daoyou Li, are ordinary now. You are just a dragon lurking in the abyss. There will be a time when you will soar in the future."

While the three of them were talking, the workshop attendant on the shuttle came to inform them that they had arrived at Yundang Mountain and would be disembarking soon.

The three of them stopped chatting and went to find Gongshu Yuan.

At this time, Gongshu Yuan was also directing everyone to get off the boat, and then started offering rituals. The boat gradually became smaller and turned into a ball of clear light in the palm of his hand, which he closed up.

Under his leadership, the group of people walked towards Shanmen Square.

At the mountain gate square, a group of disciples from Yundang Mountain were waiting for them. A monk with a Taoist spirit stood up and laughed loudly: "Fellow Taoist Gongshu, long time no see. How are you?"

"Fellow Daoist Hong, long time no see." Gong Shuyuan greeted him with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and then the monk surnamed Hong said: "I am here to greet you on the order of the leader of the alliance. Please also bring your family with me."

Tiangongfang is a major customer of Yundang Mountain. Over the years, he has spent a lot of jade here to purchase precious materials, so he is treated differently from other individual customers.

Gong Shuyuan smiled and said: "No hurry, let me introduce you first. This is the new weapon refiner in our workshop, Li Wan, Fellow Daoist Li. Fellow Daoist Li, this is Fellow Daoist Hongshan Minghong from Huangfeng Cave in Yundang Mountain."

Li said in the evening: "I have met fellow Daoist Hong."

Hong Shanming saw that Li Wan was a qi refining monk and stood aside. He thought he was the junior attendant brought by Gong Shuyuan, but when he heard that he was the weapon refiner in the workshop, he couldn't help but change his attitude and said, "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Li, sorry.

sorry."

Gong Shuyuan also introduced several fellow refiners in the workshop, as well as the managers of the warehouse. These are the people responsible for tasting, appraising and collecting information on treasure materials. They are also the big customers that Hong Shanming will entertain next. Hong Shanming also

Don't dare to neglect, I have seen them one by one.

Li Wan looked at this situation and couldn't help but feel interesting.

If in ancient times, monks were devoted to the Tao and respected their strength, I am afraid that there would not be such a situation where the foundation-building monks were polite to the Qi-refining monks. However, in today's world, these rules have long been changed. Before you can live forever, you will have a child.

After all, we are just ordinary people.

Since we are mortals, how can we have so many high and low statuses?

After a long polite greeting, everyone finally moved up the mountain and settled down.

As a weapon refiner, Li Wan was assigned a separate courtyard, while Shi Haoguang and Xing Tongfang lived close to his courtyard with other handyman apprentices. However, they were already prepared for this and took it calmly.

After settling in, while it was still dark, the two of them met with Li Wan and asked him about his next plan.

Li Wan said: "We all came to this fair, so naturally we want to have a good look at it."

Shi Haoguang said: "What Fellow Daoist Li said is reasonable, but this market will last for one month. During this period, there will be people from all walks of life, as well as large and small alliances. Even those monks and disciples of the sects who have gone out to practice will also come here to provide supplies. We'd better

It’s better to follow the group and don’t act rashly. After all, we are not familiar with the place here.”

He is much more cautious than Li Wan.

Li Wan thought about it and felt that it made sense. He couldn't help but nodded: "You should focus on business and avoid playing around."

Time soon came to night, and Hong Shanming was ordered to greet the people of Tiangongfang led by Gong Shuyuan. Li Wan, as a weapon refiner, was also qualified to attend, so he went together.

During the banquet, the banquet was really lackluster, but on one side the proprietor was interested in hosting the guests, and on the other side the guests were looking for treasures. Both parties were enjoying themselves and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Li Wan listened to them chatting about secrets and anecdotes in the world of cultivation, and after some polite exchanges with his colleagues and Yundang Mountain disciples, he finally regained his composure and returned to his residence smelling of alcohol.

In the dead of night, Li Wan sat cross-legged on the head of his bed, clasping the jade pendant, and reading the classics in the Jade Slips of Divine Sense.

The knowledge in it is vast and extremely rich, including the appreciation and processing methods of various magic weapons and precious materials. He is currently making up for these to add some confidence for the next trip to the fair.

The reason for this is because he heard that there have been some unscrupulous cultivators in the Wanbao Market Association over the years. They bring their own treasures to sell, and many of them are fake and pass off as good ones. If you are not careful, you will get hurt.

road.

There are also some people who have eyes but fail to recognize gold and jade. They are obviously precious and good things, but they are sold as ordinary things. If you have outstanding eyesight and extraordinary knowledge, you can also take this opportunity to pick up a bargain.

It was only then that Li Wan discovered that refining weapons was not just as simple as restrictions and magic circles. The identification, identification, processing and cooking of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures were also a major science. Only by mastering all of these can one

Accurately grasp the physical properties and bring out the functions of various natural materials and earthly treasures.

In the past, he only focused on the weapon refining itself, but it seemed narrow-minded. No wonder he couldn't produce a perfect product.

Flutter!

At this moment, Li Wan suddenly heard a strange sound.

"What?" Li Wan was startled.

The sound came from the courtyard. The place he settled in was a single courtyard. Apart from him, there were servants and maids who cleaned the courtyard and took care of trivial matters. However, affairs in the mountains have been busy recently, and these people are busy all day long.

, but also to be transferred to other courtyards as deacons. At this time, they had already gone to work or went to bed.

Li Wan put on his clothes and got up alertly, put away the jade slips, and walked out with the "Bulletin" in his hand.

The moonlight was cold and shone in the courtyard, making it unclear. However, Li Wan was a Qi Refining monk and had extraordinary eyesight, and he could quickly see everything above and below clearly.

He looked around, trying to find the source of the sound just now, but after looking for a while, he found nothing.

In the midst of doubts, suddenly, there was another flapping sound like a frightened night bird.

Li Wan raised his head and looked at the courtyard wall, and was surprised to see a figure in white clothes with a long sword on his back climbed over the wall and jumped in.

By the moonlight, Li Wan recognized that she was a young girl. She was not as delicate and weak as the daughter-in-law, but instead she had a strong and vigorous figure, and showed that she had a lot of skill in her movements.

Li Wan didn't say anything, but suddenly his eyes brightened and he looked three inches above the girl's head.

I saw a thick mass of white essence flowing densely, condensing and not dissipating, like a pearl emitting brilliant light.

"It's so intense...she is a foundation-building monk!"

Li Wan entered the late stage of Qi refining, and his spiritual consciousness was very strong. Just like ordinary people with the senses of mouth, ears, nose, and tongue, he could already sense the spirit, energy, and spirit of people in the same way. He immediately realized that this girl was not an ordinary person.

But the girl's cultivation was obviously much deeper than his. After just one glance, she was met with backlash. Under her eyes, there seemed to be a faint tingling pain, which was clearly the behavior of a foundation-building monk.

Li Wan quickly collected his thoughts and lowered his head.
