Chapter 7: Casual Cultivators Arrive at Banyue Pavilion for the First Time
In a restaurant called "Xunxianwei", the doorman Li Lang was ordering food with the waiter. He was holding the spiritual stone that Ye Qianming gave him in his hand, and was dazzling it in front of the waiter's eyes quite proudly, enjoying each other.
The sight of his eyes swaying with the spiritual stone.
Ye Qianming, on the other hand, leaned against the window and took advantage of this moment to crush the jade pendant and turn it into powder and float away in the wind.
He had already found clues when he scanned with his spiritual consciousness just now. Although Yu Jin had a lot of thoughts, the marking method was not very clever. Otherwise, he would not be able to find out, and he would inevitably get into trouble.
Even though he couldn't find it out, he would probably throw it away out of caution.
"It's a pity that there is no way to remove the mark, otherwise it would still be a pretty toy." Ye Qianming said regretfully.
"What did the immortal master say?" Li Lang came over with a smile after ordering the dishes, wanting to flatter him.
"Nothing, come on, sit down." The two sat down and chatted for a while. Ye Qianming understood that there was not much difference between Hexia City and the half-mortal, half-immortal city in his imaginary immortal novels, which reassured him.
A few points.
When the food and drinks were served, Li Lang let go of the conversation and chatted about some topics about cultivating immortals.
"The power in Hexia City is not limited to the Beixuan Academy family. Although the Beixuan Academy dominates, there is also another sect called Jackal Mountain nearby. In addition, agents from the Liu family, the Yu family, and the Ye family also
They can be considered one of the top five powerful men."
Ye Qianming thought thoughtfully: "So Hexia City is controlled by these forces?"
Li Lang replied with a glossy mouth: "That's probably the case, but the business is the only one in Banyue Pavilion. Banyue Pavilion is also a big force in Bishan country, but it doesn't have much territory. They are all pawn shops and inns. They rely on the trading business to gain a foothold.
Yes, if the Immortal Master has any needs, he can go to Banyue Pavilion to do something."
Ye Qianming nodded and asked again: "What is the academy selection that the Yu family brothers and sisters were talking about just now?"
"Since the Bei Xuan Academy has a three-year entrance selection, as long as you have spiritual qualifications and a path to immortality, no matter you are rich or poor, you can enter the palace to cultivate immortality. In the future, you will have the opportunity to participate in the selection meeting of the main palace and reach the sky in one fell swoop.
Woolen cloth!"
After saying that, Li Lang smiled flatteringly: "Since the immortal master is destined to be immortal, why not give him a try?"
Ye Qianming smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
In the evening, Ye Qianming came to a shopping street. On one side were various stalls and hawkers, and on the other side were various shops with luxurious decorations. But no matter which side they sold, they were all herbal and spiritual stones that were helpful for cultivation. This was
A street frequented by monks.
Ye Qianming took a quick glance and saw that most of what the vendors sold were low-level spiritual herbs, which were not as good as the ones he had, but he still walked around in order to see the world.
Not far away, Ye Qianming noticed that there was a small stall that was surrounded by water. When he squeezed in, he saw that a group of people blocked a casual cultivator on the fifth and sixth levels of Qi Refining. The strong man at the head spattered:
"Such a broken tortoise wants a hundred spiritual stones. Do you think I, Ghost Beard, am easy to bully?"
The casual cultivator was not to be outdone: "Don't mess around. I already said it at that time. This tortoise shell is very hard. If you can refine it, it will definitely be worth the money. If you can't refine it yourself and you think I'm tricking you, don't think I'm a kid."
Feng Yun is a coward!"
Seeing that the two of them were at war and about to start a fight, Ye Qianming walked in: "Two fellow Taoists, I wonder if I can let the next one take a look at this turtle shell?"
Gui Huzi and Xiao Fengyun were unhappy at first, but then they restrained themselves when they saw that Ye Qianming's cultivation level was similar to theirs.
Ghost Beard frowned: "Fellow Taoist is a weapon refiner?"
"I know a little bit about it."
Ghost Beard hesitated for a moment, but he thought he was surrounded by his own people, so he safely threw it away.
Ye Qianming inspected it up and down and praised: "The shell of the Black Armored Turtle is the shell of a second-level monster. Ordinary foundation-building monks can't break its defense. It shouldn't be captured by a fellow Taoist, right?"
Xiao Fengyun's face turned red at first, and then nodded: "Taoist friends, I found this thing while exploring the ancient tomb of an ancestor. I don't know any black-armored turtles, I only know that the shell of this turtle is very hard, so
Take it and sell it."
Ghost Beard on the side was a little anxious. He didn't want the turtle shell he bought for a hundred spiritual stones to be useless.
"I wonder if my friend can refine this turtle shell. If there is a way, I will give it to you as a reward."
Ye Qianming showed a troubled expression, and then sighed: "I am only a first-level weapon refiner, how can I refine such a treasure, but my master may have a way, but I don't know when the next visit will be, so why not..."
"Not as good as what?"
"I'm quite interested in this turtle shell. How about I give my fellow Taoist fifty spiritual stones and buy the turtle shell for some cold iron of equal value?"
"This..." Gui Huzi thought for a while. Although half of the spirit stones were missing, Leng Tie was also in urgent need of weapon refining. It was useless to keep the turtle shell, so he simply changed it.
"Okay, deal!"
"Okay!" Ye Qianming threw out fifty spirit stones, and reluctantly handed over a piece of cold iron. Ghost Beard's eyes were almost straight when he looked at such a large piece of pure cold iron, and he quickly put it in his bag and left with his troops.
I was afraid that Ye Qianming would regret it.
After the incident was over, the crowd gradually dispersed. At this time, Xiao Fengyun came forward and handed Ye Qianming a note: "Fellow Taoist is so generous. If you don't mind it, can you come to my Xiao Fengyun's residence to get together someday to discuss important matters?"
Ye Qianming looked at the note and saw that there was a certain address on it, so he politely accepted the note and walked away.
After walking a few hundred meters further, Ye Qianming finally arrived at the elegant attic located at the end of the street, between the two sides. The large characters on the door plaque were "Half Moon Pavilion", which was the branch of Bishan Kingdom's largest immortal cultivating and trading force in Hexia City.
Ye Qianming walked into the store with a bamboo hat and immediately noticed that the customers in the store were dressed in luxurious clothes and had expensive equipment, which was much higher than that of the casual cultivators hanging around the vendors outside.
When the female nun who was in charge of the business saw the new customer, she saw Ye Qianming's simple clothes but mysterious appearance. She did not hesitate and stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "I wonder if this is your first time to Banyue Pavilion? If you need anything, please feel free to ask.
"
Ye Qianming stretched out three fingers: "I want three things, clear moon gold, silver pine ash and mountain jade. I wonder if your pavilion sells them?"
The surroundings became obviously quiet. When the female cultivator heard Ye Qianming's request to buy these three valuable items, she knew that she had encountered a big deal, so she quickly said: "Of course there are Qingyue Gold and Baoshan Jade. As for the silver pine ash,
I still want to ask the shopkeeper, why don’t I go upstairs to discuss it in detail?"
"Okay." Ye Qianming nodded and followed the female cultivator up to the attic.
The female cultivator first arranged for Ye Qianming to drink tea in a fragrant room. Not long after, a white-haired woman with a gauze face and a slim figure came in.
"I am here in Hexia City, the shopkeeper of Banyue Pavilion, Mu Miao'an. I came here to discuss the purchase with my fellow Taoist. What do you call me?"
The woman in front of him was graceful and well-dressed, and her own strength was not something that Ye Qianming could see through. This not only made Ye Qianming a little more solemn.
Ye Qianming handed over his hand: "Li Lang is just a casual cultivator, he is insignificant. He just came to buy the materials I just mentioned. If your pavilion has them, I will buy them."
Mu Miao'an smiled like a silver bell: "Li Daoyou is joking, let alone Hexia City, even our Banyue Pavilion is the only chamber of commerce in the entire Bishan country. Even compared with those famous families, it is not far behind, and
We don’t have that many rules here, so as long as you can afford it, you can naturally get the goods.”
"Of course that's the best thing. The shopkeeper would like to tell you about the three materials below."
Mu Miao'an smiled sweetly: "Although I don't know what you want these rare items for, Qingyue Gold and Baoshan Jade are available here, which are one thousand two hundred spiritual stones and one thousand five hundred spiritual stones respectively.
Although the price is a bit more expensive than usual, the quality is definitely top-notch.”
"So expensive?" Ye Qianming secretly smacked his lips, but still said, "If it's not troublesome, please let me have a look at it. This is not a small amount after all."
When Mu Miao'an heard that the other party did not retreat, he knew that this young man really had the financial resources to buy the spiritual stones, which totaled nearly three thousand, which was not a small amount even for Banyue Pavilion, so he immediately ordered people to bring Qingyue Gold and
Baoshan jade.
As for the other party's intention of seizing the opportunity to seize the treasure? No one in Bishan Kingdom dares to do this in Banyue Pavilion, and the elders of the Keqing in the foundation-building period will not let these reckless guys go.
As soon as the maid brought up the treasure, Ye Qianming knew that Banyue Pavilion was not an empty name. On the brocade of the wooden box, one piece was a dark gold that exuded a cool atmosphere, and the other was a warm and perfect jade. Both pieces were of the highest quality.
.
Mu Miaoan's smile remained unchanged, and he did not hide his pride: "Are you satisfied, fellow Taoist?"
Ye Qianming nodded: "Of course, but I may not have enough spiritual stones on hand. I wonder if your company will accept other people's goods?"
Mu Miao'an did not change his color because of the information about the other party's lack of spiritual stones. Instead, he became more and more interested: "Of course, my Banyue Pavilion is the place where income and sales are made. The price is absolutely fair. I wonder what you want to sell?"
Ye Qianming said calmly: "I wonder if I can get two hundred kilograms of high-quality cold iron?"
"Two hundred kilograms of high-quality cold iron!" Mu Miao'an, who had always been calm, was also startled, and his voice was a little louder, but then he realized his gaffe and laughed: "If you have any, I will accept it."
That’s right, it’s just whether the quality is as good as fellow Taoist said..."
Ye Qianming did not hide it, and threw twenty kilograms of cold iron from the ring for the other party to see. The whole room was shaken by this. Mu Miao'an, as an expert in appraisal, only took a few breaths to confirm that what Ye Qianming said was true.
"Does the shopkeeper still want to see the rest?"
Mu Miao'an shook his head: "Twenty kilograms of high-quality cold iron, fellow Taoist can take it at will. And in Banyue Pavilion, if I continue to doubt fellow Taoist, I will be really dishonest."
Then he took off a Na ring: "There are two thousand five hundred spirit stones in it, and the other two thousand five hundred should be considered as the discount for the two materials sold by our shop to fellow Taoist. If fellow Taoist is satisfied, let's trade it now."
.”
After Ye Qianming inspected the inside of the Najie, he put two hundred kilograms of cold iron into the Najie, took out the spiritual stones, and continued: "Now the shopkeeper can sell me these two materials."
After making a big deal with Ye Qianming, Mu Miao'an didn't raise the price much and immediately ordered the maid to hand over the two treasures to Ye Qianming.
Of course, Mu Miao'an would not let go of this source of wealth immediately, and took the opportunity to ask: "I don't know what else my friend needs. In addition to materials, elixirs, talismans, weapons and formation flags, some exclusive information can also be bought and sold."
Ye Qianming thought for a while and said: "I am very interested in alchemy talismans and would like to buy a batch of the best herbs and talismans from your pavilion. I wonder how much can be supplied?"
"Fellow Taoist... Master, are you still an alchemist or a talisman maker?" Mu Miao'an was extremely shocked. He originally thought that the other party was just a descendant of the Immortal family with some background, but he did not expect that the other party had many accomplishments. Perhaps he came from some sect to gain experience.
!
"I'm just slightly interested. Maybe the shopkeeper can do this business?"
Mu Miao'an shook her plump figure and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, I will arrange a batch of herbal talismans immediately. I will treat it as a gift to the young master. Please don't refuse!"
Ye Qianming was flattered: "That couldn't be better. Thank you so much, shopkeeper!"
"Wherever, sir, please come more often in the future. This is the silver medal of Banyue Pavilion. From now on, when the young master enters Banyue Pavilion everywhere, there will be dedicated personnel to receive him."
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Ye Qianming accepted the silver medal and the herbal talisman sent by Mu Miao'an. After complimenting each other for a few times, he pressed his hat and left.
