Natural Fairy Species

Chapter 151 Grassroots Trade Fair

“The Fire Dragon Returning to the Origin Sutra has been extremely applicable to me. The only drawback is that after practicing it, my lungs are full of fire poison, as if I have a mouthful of flames in my throat, and I feel very uncomfortable..."

Bai Zichen coughed slightly, his throat tugged and his chest felt a burst of pain.

The Fire Dragon Guiyuan Jing is very powerful and can be practiced quickly. Later on, it can transform into a fire dragon. It is already the top skill in Qingfeng Sect.

There are only two major disadvantages. One is that it will produce fire poison along with practice, and the other is that it is difficult to break through.

 The latter is not a shortcoming for Bai Zichen, but the former really makes him feel distressed.

Taking one Zhuguo Jingxin Pill, a cool and refreshing air circulates throughout the body, slightly relieving the symptoms.

“Counting the days, it’s almost time to make an appointment with Senior Brother Dai, so I have to go back to the mountain gate to pick up the sword.”

The two-sword combination that I have been longing for cannot be a second-level flying sword in one and a first-level flying sword in the other.

 Only when the Tianxin Sword is in hand can one truly be considered complete.

With anticipation in his heart, Bai Zichen didn't even bother to sit on the colorful white clouds. He transformed into a white sword light and returned to the mountain gate in less than three hours.

“Junior brother Bai really came at the right time. I arrived within two days of finishing my sword refining, and I didn’t even have time to pass the message to you.”

Dai Hui was wearing loose clothes, waved his hand and threw a flying sword over.

I don’t know if he can still maintain this noble and elegant demeanor when he is refining weapons.

“I admire Senior Brother Dai’s weapon-refining skills and want to see the skills of a third-level weapon-refiner…”

Bai Zichen smiled and raised the Tianxin Sword. The sword was slender and had dark red lines from beginning to end.

 With a snap of his fingers, the Tianxin Sword swayed elastically.

“Thank you for refining it, Senior Brother Dai. I will add another flying sword for Junior Brother.”

"I would also like to thank my junior brother for giving me a chance to refine the flying sword at a critical moment every time... That day, Yinzhu Sword allowed me to officially enter the door of a third-level weapon refiner. This time, Tianxin Sword allowed me to have the opportunity to refine the flying sword." The inspiration for refining the magic weapon."

Level 3 weapon refining master means that his weapon refining skills are enough to reach the first level of magic weapon.

However, due to his cultivation, without the blessing of elixir fire, the difficulty of refining the magic weapon for Dai Hui will be several times higher than that of the same third-level weapon refiner, Master Jie Dan.

This is also why monks who are one level ahead of themselves in the realm of cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts will often have a significant improvement in their realm of hundreds of arts immediately after they improve themselves.

 In fact, when the cultivation level is low, enough foundation has been accumulated.

 After your cultivation level has improved, you will have enough strength to show it.

 Dai Hui has cooperated with Master Ge Cang in refining magic weapons before, but he has never done so independently.

 “Senior Brother Dai is very ambitious, and I hope you can get a glimpse of a higher realm soon!”

“Haha, just thinking about it... It’s too difficult to create an original magic weapon. It’s better to refine one according to the methods of predecessors.”

 Dai Hui waved his hand, indicating that he had the inspiration but the technology was not yet ready.

“The acquired Thunder God Pearl that I refined with Patriarch Ge last time was quite good. With experience, the refining efficiency will be much higher.”

 Being able to successfully refine a magic weapon independently basically means that Dai Hui is firmly established on the path of a third-level weapon refiner.

 The actual strength is much stronger than shown.

“The little girl who presented the acquired Thunder God Bead has finally reached the ninth level of Qi refining. I heard that Patriarch Ge promised her a Foundation-Building Pill. Whenever her Qi refining is complete, there is no need to sort it out, she can receive it directly.”

Peng Chong, who was accompanying him, heard that the Thunder God Pearl was dropped the day after tomorrow, and looked deeply at Bai Zichen.

 As the leader, he led a group of disciples and family monks to study the inheritance stone tablet in the Five Sacred Mountains Temple.

At that time, Bai Zichen was just a general boy. Together with Su Li and Chen Wei, he inspired the vision of the inheritance stone tablet, which left a deep impression on Peng Chong.

Just a few years ago, Su Li, who was originally regarded as the genius of the sect's talismans, should have succeeded in building a foundation.

 Chen Wei, who suddenly emerged as a dark horse, received the care of her ancestor and became a true disciple, but she was still in the period of refining her Qi.

On the contrary, Bai Zichen, who was the most inconspicuous back then, has now become the most popular young elder in Qingfeng Sect.

Has been able to chat and laugh with high-level officials at the palace master level.

“In the past two years, the sect has added two more foundation-building elders, Junior Brother Jiang and Junior Brother Long. You San from my Weapon Refining Hall has also perfected Qi Refining and is preparing to attack the Foundation Establishment within five years..."

 The sect has received a large amount of new blood, and Dai Hui is quite pleased.

 Junior Brother Jiang has been a deacon for many years. He has successfully built the foundation when he was nearly 60 years old. He is an inspiration.

As a true disciple, Junior Brother Long failed to build the foundation a few years ago, but he stopped in time, leaving little sequelae.

After re-cultivating to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in the past few years, I was able to achieve foundation building in one fell swoop with just one foundation-building spiritual object.

 Bai Zichen left the Weapon Refining Hall and wanted to go directly back to Feiyue Lake. Suddenly he remembered something and walked along the bluestone steps towards the front mountain.

 Since he entered the academy, he started as an inner disciple.

Having never experienced the two levels of being a handyman disciple and an outer sect disciple, I don’t know much about the low-level monks who account for the largest proportion of Qingfeng sect disciples.

 Only when you reach Guwu Peak can you realize that there are so many disciples of Qingfeng Sect.

In the past few years, more than a thousand new disciples have been recruited as servants, and most of the fairy seedlings recommended by the disciples stationed in various places have been accepted.

 Different from Wuzhi Peak, the disciples here are in a hurry and have no time to spare.

 The handyman disciples basically have no resources and benefits. If they want to get anything, they only have to pay for it themselves.

Outer disciples are slightly better, but if they want to be at the top of the sect competition and their talents are almost the same, the competition is about who has invested more resources in training.

“No one here recognizes me…”

Bai Zichen's youthful appearance and the fact that he doesn't usually wear elder's robes make him not stand out among the outer disciples.

“Senior Brother, are you interested in going to our trade fair? This year, Senior Brother Mingtian held a small competition, and dozens of people participated, and everyone brought good things to exchange with each other.”

An outer disciple stopped in front and greeted his fellow disciples warmly.

“Especially after the trade fair is over, Senior Brother Tian will also teach us the secrets of becoming inner disciples, so don’t miss it!”

 “A trade fair among outer disciples?”

 Bai Zichen became curious.

 Guwu Peak only has the second-level middle-grade spiritual energy level. The people living on it are all outer disciples, and there are also handyman disciples who come to visit from time to time.

The inner disciples will definitely not return to Guwu Peak if they have higher-grade caves to choose from.

Even if something happens, he will only send a message to the outer disciples to pass by.

He had heard about the trade fair that existed among the grassroots disciples as early as when he was still an inner disciple.

 Items are put on consignment in shops in the market. Not only is it inconvenient and time-consuming to go back and forth, but the market also charges a fee.

 It is naturally best to be able to complete transactions directly between fellow sects in exchange for useful cultivation resources.

ˆBased on this demand, trade fairs came into being.

There is no fixed time and location for the event. It is held basically once every six months. The organizers are all outer disciples with great appeal.

“Then go take a look and ask someone to find out where Jiang Shu is.”

Bai Zichen came to Guwu Peak purely on a sudden idea and wanted to see how Jiang Shu was doing after joining the Qingfeng Sect.

He has not met Jiang Shu since he said hello to Chuan Gong Hall and made Jiang Shu an outer disciple.

Jiang Shu received a handwritten letter every six months, recording her current situation and some interesting things during her cultivation.

 After arriving at Guwu Peak, I became interested in the so-called trade fair.

Perhaps it was because he did not experience this while growing up that he wanted to understand the lives of lower-level disciples.

Seeing Bai Zichen nod, the outer disciple excitedly led him around the forest twice.

“I’m Lin Yong, this senior brother looks strange, as if he hasn’t seen him before?”

Disciples like Lin Yong who are specifically responsible for attracting new recruits will be rewarded for every successful kill.

What’s more, the host this time is a new inner disciple, so they have to perform well and try to leave a good impression on Senior Brother Tian.

“I usually practice at home and seldom go out.”

Bai Zichen glanced at it casually and saw that this dark and thin outer disciple only had the fifth level of Qi refining.

 Subconsciously adjusted the Qi Condensation Technique to control the mana fluctuations on the body surface at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

The fair was set up on a veranda in the forest, and more than a dozen disciples set up stalls along the stone steps.

At the top of the corridor, a long table was set up, with several people sitting in it.

 She must have a higher status, and there are many outer disciples surrounding her.

Bai Zichen glanced at it and returned his attention to the stall.

 The format of the stalls is similar to that in the outer square of Fangshi, but the stall owners and customers are all brothers from the same discipline, and the quality of the goods is relatively more reliable.

At least you won’t be bragging about the treasure left by the real person Jiedan by picking up two unknown items at a market stall.

 Tear off a piece of rag and say it is a treasure map of an ancient secret realm.

Bai Zichen walked around with great interest. They were basically first-level items, various spiritual materials, talismans, and replaced the obsolete magic weapons.

 Occasionally, a few bottles of elixirs for improving cultivation appeared, and they were surrounded by a large group of people and were quickly bought.

　　‘This ring looks interesting...’

When Bai Zichen passed a stall, he felt a faint sword energy, squatted down and picked up a brass ring.

The shape of two flying swords is engraved on the brass ring, which contains a sword energy.

“This senior brother is interested in the sword energy ring?”

The owner of the stall is a pink female disciple who looks to be at most twenty-eight years old and is still a budding green fruit.

　　With a straight face, he pretended to be a calm adult and started selling the goods.

"This is a middle-grade magic weapon passed down from my family. As long as mana is injected into it, a sword energy will appear. It is indestructible. It is almost as lethal as a high-grade magic weapon... It only sells for one hundred and twenty spiritual stones. It is not worth it at all. expensive."

Bai Zichen put a brass ring on his index finger, and the sharp sword energy flashed past.

 After playing with it for a while, I discovered the trick.

Continuously injecting mana without stimulating the sword energy, the two flying swords on the brass ring slowly rotated, turning into two lights and shadows leaping up, fighting each other, moving like lightning.

 “Who is the original owner of this magical instrument?”

Bai Zichen took off the brass ring, threw it in his palm twice, looked at the young girl and asked.

“It’s my grandfather. He was once an inner disciple of the Qingfeng Sect. Later, he failed in a sect mission and was seriously injured, so he went home to marry a wife and have children.”

 The young girl stared at the brass ring nervously, her eyes unblinking.

“Before my grandfather passed away, he passed the brass ring to me... If my senior brother wants to buy it, I can buy it for ten more spirit stones, which is the lowest price.”

"My grandfather is a master of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. He always wears a brass ring close to the magic weapon and never leaves his body. It is definitely not an ordinary thing. If it were not for the lack of spiritual stones to buy elixirs, I would not take it out to replace it. Where’s the spiritual stone?”
