From a family fisherman to a water immortal

Chapter 169 Phoenix Leave

Li Quanqing walked through the crowds on the street and came to a large teahouse, looking around as he walked.

In places where information exchange is not well developed, teahouses are often places where intelligence gathers, and there are many brokers.

These are the experiences taught to him by the old patriarch.

He walked into the teahouse and sat in the corner, imitating the appearance of other monks, ordered a pot of spiritual tea, and tasted it slowly.

In the dark, a wisp of spiritual consciousness quietly probed out, paying close attention to the content of the conversations of the guests in the teahouse.

Soon, he found his target.

It was a middle-aged monk with a goatee, thin and tall, just like a bamboo pole, wearing a half-old Taoist robe, playing a role similar to Bai Xiaosheng here.

Anyone who wants to obtain any information only needs to order a pot of spiritual tea for him, and the teahouse will naturally give him a share at that time.

Each party takes what it needs, and it is mutually beneficial.

Li Quanqing was too lazy to go around in circles, and directly sent out a wisp of spiritual consciousness, which sounded gently in the man's ears, like a thunderclap.

"Come to the box to see me."

The man was stunned for a moment, looked around to no avail, and then immediately gathered his troubled thoughts, smiled and pushed away the crowd and left.

He deliberately walked around, then walked into the box alone, bowed respectfully, and said: "Meet this senior."

"What's your name?"

"Senior, you can call me Taoist Sanxiao."

The man smiled and stood there respectfully. It was obvious that he knew the order of respect and hierarchy very well, and he had worked his way up from the bottom.

"Just follow your rules and order a pot of spiritual tea."

"I dare not, how can I let the senior spend money, senior, if you have any questions, please speak directly, I will definitely tell you everything I know."

Taoist Sanxiao refused again and again, and the smile on his face almost never disappeared, which made people feel very good.

Having said that, Li Quanqing still ordered a pot of second-level spiritual tea, which cost only about a hundred spiritual stones.

"I want to buy a spiritual item for foundation building. Do you have any connections?"

The Taoist priest Sanxiao was slightly surprised when he heard this and hesitated for a moment: "I'm afraid that only the city lord is qualified to sell spiritual items for foundation building."

Li Quanqing did not comment and motioned him to continue.

"The city lord has many disciples, but there are only two or three who like to make friends."

Li Quanqing said: "I want someone with a higher status, such as a worshiper, but he must be easy to approach. I am just a casual cultivator and don't have many connections."

The Taoist priest Sanxiao thought for a while: "In this case, there is indeed one, the worshiper of Hanchi Immortal City - Master Huangli."

"This senior is obsessed with alchemy and is already a second-level upper-grade alchemist. There are even rumors that he has successfully refined a foundation-building pill."

"Master Huangli likes to make friends very much. You only need to spend 2,000 lower-grade spirit stones in his shop to receive an invitation to participate in the small social gathering he holds."

"An alchemy master who can refine a foundation-building pill?!"

Li Quanqing was slightly moved. There is only one alchemist of this level in the entire Shuihua Sword Sect.

Besides, this kind of private social gathering is indeed exciting.

"That's him."

Li Quanqing made a decision in his heart. It's just a little expense, but it's worth it.

…

A few days later.

“Nanli Pavilion…”

Li Quanqing held the invitation and successfully passed the inspection of the law enforcement monks.

He came to the foot of Hanchi Mountain, and in front of him was a red pavilion that looked like a phoenix spreading its wings.

This was the cave of Master Huangli. He bought a lot of elixirs to successfully get an invitation.

The young man took a deep breath and felt that the air was filled with the extremely rich essence of heaven and earth, almost atomized, which made his mana in his body ready to move.

It is worthy of being a third-level spiritual vein!

Li Quanqing was amazed in his heart. This level of spiritual vein is enough to support the daily intake and discharge of Jindan Zhenren.

If he could stay here day and night, he would have a lot more confidence in breaking through the realm and even condensing the golden elixir.

“This distinguished guest, please follow me.”

Two medicine boys came out of the cave, saluted him respectfully, and began to lead the way in front.

After passing through a small bridge and flowing water, and the exquisite garden waterside pavilion, we came to the hall used for reception.

This place should be not far from the alchemy room. The air was filled with a faint fragrance of herbs and full of fire.

Li Quanqing took a look and saw that there were already more than a dozen people sitting in the hall. Except for the three early foundation building cultivators, the rest were Qi refining cultivators who also spent a huge amount of money to get an invitation.

He was unreserved in his mid-foundation cultivation, standing out like a crane among chickens, and was welcomed to the seat of honor. Everyone showed a kind smile.

Even those fellow foundation building cultivators nodded and were very polite to each other, and no one mocked such a thing.

Li Quanqing sipped the fragrant tea and listened to their conversation quietly, gradually figuring out the purpose of this group of cultivators.

It turned out that they came specifically to ask Master Huang Li to refine some kind of elixir for them, and the so-called friendship meeting was just a gimmick.

The same was true for the other foundation builders. They all represented their families and forces to discuss business with this second-level top-grade alchemist.

"So, I am the only one who is here to make friends sincerely and prepare to participate in the social gathering?"

Li Quanqing stroked the invitation in his hand and suddenly felt a little amused. He had no interest in private alchemy.

"But...alchemists really make money!"

Li Quanqing listened to the chatter of the people in the hall and felt a little emotional.

In addition to the most basic spiritual stone reward, you need to prepare three additional materials to ask an alchemist to do it.

But fortunately, even if the refining fails, half of the spiritual stones can be returned, which is still conscientious and not so bad.

"The master is here--"

Outside the hall, the melodious shout of the Taoist boy suddenly came, accompanied by the sound of the bell, and everyone in the hall stood up immediately.

Li Quanqing did the same. He looked and finally saw the owner of this place.

Master Huangli was a handsome middle-aged man who looked only more than 30 years old. His peach blossom eyes were particularly charming and looked pampered.

He had long hair draped over his shoulders and a scarlet alchemist robe on his body. The golden red flames burned fiercely, turning into several lifelike flaming phoenixes, flapping their wings and flying high.

As Master Huang Li walked into the hall, the fragrance of herbs in the air suddenly became stronger, and the fragrance of pills was everywhere, which was quite pleasant.

"Huang Li has met all of you fellow Taoists. Most of you are old acquaintances. You don't have to be polite. Of course, there are a few new faces."

Master Huang Li laughed and sat in the main seat. His eyes stayed on Li Quanqing for a few minutes. After all, he was only in the middle stage of foundation building.

"Let's follow the old rules. Whoever grabs this purple spirit pill will speak."

Master Huang Li took out a jade bottle, and the purple light in it flickered unsteadily, like a firefly, shining the whole bottle into light purple.

He took out the bottle stopper, and the next moment he saw a round and smooth purple pill flying out, flying around the whole hall, quite spiritual.

However, although this purple spirit pill soared like a bird, agile and vigorous, it was still not enough to face the mana of the cultivator.

Those Qi-refining cultivators naturally did not dare to rush ahead. Seeing that Li Quanqing had no intention of making a move, one of the three foundation-building cultivators immediately grabbed the Purple Spirit Pill in his hand.

"Master, please allow me to ask for a Blood Heart Pill to save my life..."

Li Quanqing played with the teacup, thinking of himself as a spectator, and understood the whole process.

This so-called small meeting for friends was indeed a misunderstanding by him. It was just a simple private meeting for asking for pills.

It was not the fault of Taoist Sanxiao. With his cultivation, he was probably not very clear about the twists and turns, after all, his level was too low.

Several foundation-building cultivators spoke one after another. Master Huangli's smile remained unchanged on his face, but he just listened quietly and did not respond.

Seeing that the Purple Spirit Pill returned to freedom, a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining was overjoyed and quickly transformed a magical palm to grab forward.

At this time, Li Quanqing chose to make a move, just a light hook of his fingers.

The flying purple spirit pill immediately broke free from the magic hand and landed in his palm very obediently.

The Qi-refining cultivator was so angry that he dared not speak. He could only swallow his grievances and put on a smile.

"I wonder what kind of pill this fellow Taoist wants to ask for?"

Master Huang Li asked, and was very interested in this very unfamiliar great cultivator.

Li Quanqing did not answer, but took out a bottle of Taiyin Yanhun Water and opened it gently, taking out a drop and hanging it in the air.

The spirit liquid was clear and transparent, but it was like a round of Taiyin moon hanging high in the sky, sprinkling a circle of silver yarn, which looked quite extraordinary.

"This is..."

Master Huang Li's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw this, and his whole body was so excited that he could hardly control himself. His robes fluttered like a hot furnace.

Not only him, but several other great foundation-building cultivators were also very shocked and felt the desire of the divine consciousness.

Only a group of Qi-refining cultivators were confused. Their souls were too weak to feel the attraction of the Soul-Yan Water for strengthening their soul power.

Seeing the eager look on the face of the alchemy master, Li Quanqing was relieved immediately.

"This is Taiyin Soul-Yan Water, which can nourish the soul and strengthen the mind, and strengthen the consciousness. I am willing to exchange this treasure for a foundation-building spiritual object, is it okay?"

Master Huang Li put away his gaffe, but his eyes were still fiery, and he couldn't wait to speak: "Bai Cao Zhen Sha, how about it?"

This is the lowest-level foundation-building spiritual object, which can only increase the breakthrough rate by half.

Li Quanqing shook his head slightly: "I only want to exchange for water-based spiritual objects for foundation building. In addition to this soul-transforming water, I also have a Gengjin Zhensha. Can it be exchanged for a foundation-building pill?"

"Daoyou are joking. Foundation-building pills are restricted-level pills in Xiancheng. Even if I want to sell them, I don't have the qualifications."

Master Huangli sighed slightly and suppressed the desire in his heart: "We will discuss this later. Next one!"

The purple spirit pill continued to fly, but anyone could see that the master of alchemy was absent-minded.

Li Quanqing put away the soul-transforming water, and he was calm and composed. Now he can be said to be sitting on the Diaoyutai.

When the meeting was over, Master Huangli was almost impatient and pulled him into a quiet side hall.

"Daoyou really only need water-based spiritual objects? Are other second-level high-quality pills okay?"

"I only want spiritual objects!"

Li Quanqing shook his head and refused, biting his tongue.

Master Huang Li sighed and scratched his hair in annoyance: "But I really don't have it. I want the great treasure that can strengthen my spiritual consciousness so much!"

Li Quanqing glanced sideways. This alchemy master seemed to be more...stupid than he thought.

Or a pure heart.

"Master, aren't you a worshiper of the Immortal City? Why don't you ask the disciples and friends of the real person if they need the Gengjin Zhensha?"

Li Quanqing persuaded him: "As long as I can exchange it for a water-based spiritual object, this gourd of Taiyin Soul-Evolving Water will be offered with both hands."

"So that's what you are thinking!"

Master Huangli widened his eyes, as if he had discovered a new world.

He thought about it and realized that it was exactly like that, so he hurriedly took out many sound transmission jade talismans and began to contact his friends one by one.

Li Quanqing sat next to him and waited for several hours. The tea was changed several times, and finally a message came.

Putting away the jade talisman in his hand, Master Huangli smiled slightly, showing a confident smile:

"A friend of mine happens to have a Beiming True Evil in his hand, and agrees to exchange it for that Gengjin Evil Qi. What do you think, Taoist friend?"
