Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 128 Fellow Taoist, please stay!
Fu Yuezhou Market.

On the side of the spacious and clean street, a young man wearing a jade crown, purple clothes, and eyes like lacquer walked over, a faint spiritual light enveloping his whole body.

Ling Changqing looked around. This market town covered a very large area, four or five times larger than the market town in Hanyue Continent, and the number of cultivators was probably more than ten times more.

On both sides of the street, there are magnificent shops everywhere, selling all kinds of resources such as elixirs, talismans, magical weapons and spirit beasts, martial arts manuals, formation diagrams and flags.

Some casual cultivators even randomly chose a piece of land on the street, took out various items from their storage bags and set up stalls on the spot, attracting many cultivators to stop and watch.

Although most of these casual cultivators are in the Qi training stage and those at the foundation building stage are rare, it does not mean that they do not have good things in their hands.

Ling Changqing took a casual glance and discovered several special resources from the ocean, which were auxiliary materials that could be used in refining certain second-level elixirs.

He thought about it for a moment, then walked over calmly. There were groups of monks walking around, and the sounds of bargaining could be heard all the time, so no one noticed him at all.

"Fellow Daoist, how much is this thing?"

In front of the stall, Ling Changqing stood with his hands behind his back and asked in a calm voice.

He was interested in a branch-like spiritual material that was as red as coral, and a grayish medicinal powder that was encapsulated in a glass crystal bottle.

Qingling Milk Essence and Yueling Sand, although these two things belong to the category of first-level materials, their prices are not cheap because of their limited supply and difficulty in collecting.

The stall owner was a skinny old man who was at the seventh level of Qi training. He was unkempt, and his black robe was dirty. At first glance, he was a typical low-level casual cultivator.

"Senior, if you are sincere in buying it, how about taking two hundred low-grade spirit stones?"

Feeling the foundation-building spiritual pressure from Ling Changqing, the old man's voice had a hint of awe in it, and he forced a slight smile onto his wrinkled face.

Even though on the surface he looked old enough to be the young man's grandfather, he still had to address Ling Changqing as his senior.

Ling Changqing thought for a moment, then nodded, took out two mid-grade spirit stones and handed them to him, then casually flicked his hand and put the two materials into his pocket.

"Thank you for your generosity, Senior!"

The old man carefully put away the spirit stone in his hand, and his tone was filled with flattery and gratitude.

Ling Changqing turned around and left without saying anything more.

After walking a few steps, a girl with bright eyes, white teeth and long black hair came hurriedly in the distance, driving a flying light and calling out anxiously:

"My fellow Taoist, are all your things still there? I want them all!"

The old man was stunned, and smiled helplessly: "Daoyou, you came at an unfortunate time. The materials have just been bought by that foundation-building senior!"

"what?"

The girl looked dazed: "My eldest daughter is waiting for me to buy something and go back to get the medicine!"

She turned her head and saw that Ling Changqing had already walked far away, leaving only his back to her.

"My fellow Taoist, please stay!"

The girl called out desperately, and quickly caught up with him with her long legs.

Ling Changqing looked back at her calmly, but his pace accelerated imperceptibly, and he disappeared into the crowd in a few breaths.

"It's over. I'm going to be scolded by the young lady when I get back! It's all because of this damn bastard!"

The girl looked depressed. She had been out strolling today and accidentally discovered the two materials. Unfortunately, she didn't have enough spirit stones on her. When she went back to get the spirit stones and came back again, someone had already got there first.

Ling Changqing walked and looked, and after most of the day, he actually found a lot of materials that he could use from many stalls.

However, the expenses for such large-scale purchases were quite high, totaling more than 20,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Of course, considering Ling Changqing's current wealth, this number is nothing. He has personal savings of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones in his storage bag, which he can use at will.

"How about...disposing of a batch of spoils first?"

Ling Changqing thought for a while and had an idea in his mind.

In a moment, he arrived at the main entrance of a golden and magnificent business that looked like a palace.

The nine-story white jade steps were filled with monk guards in blue Taoist robes and sharp eyes, as well as maids in colorful skirts who were responsible for welcoming guests.

Most of them are in the middle stage of Qi training, and the leading cultivators are already in the late stage of Qi training. This shows the profound strength of this business called "Tianhuaxuan".

Like the Xingyun Falcon Chamber of Commerce, Tianhuaxuan is also a powerful force with a long history and unfathomable strength. It has always only liked doing business and disliked fighting. Seeing Ling Changqing approaching the white jade steps, a girl in colorful clothes hurried over and greeted him in a gentle voice.

Ling Changqing briefly explained the purpose of his visit and was immediately warmly welcomed into the VIP room on the second floor.

According to the rules of Tianhuaxuan, cultivators in the Qi training stage can only stay on the first floor to trade, and cultivators in the foundation building stage can enter the second floor. As for the third floor, only fake dan true people are qualified to go there.

In the VIP room.

As soon as Ling Changqing sat down, a beautiful maid came over and served him spiritual tea and snacks.

After a moment, with the sound of light footsteps, a tall woman in a red dress with picturesque features walked in.

She is also a foundation-building cultivator, with a glowing aura all over her body. She is dressed like a daughter of a wealthy family, and walks in a graceful manner.

"My fellow Taoist is so polite. I am Xue Yumei, the person in charge here. How should I address you?"

The female cultivator nodded slightly and greeted softly.

"Ling Changqing."

He hesitated for a moment, but decided to use his real name.

Of course, in Xue Yumei's eyes, very few monks who came to do business used their real names. They all changed their appearances and presented false identities.

I guess this "Ling Changqing" is just a random name, right?

"Fellow Daoist Xue, I'm planning to sell some goods with sensitive origins. I wonder if you can accept it?"

Xue Yumei understood what he meant and said immediately:

"It's okay. We only do business here and never ask about the grudges and disputes outside. Fellow Daoist Ling, just rest assured and trade!"

Those robbers usually use this excuse when dealing with stolen goods. Xue Yumei has been in charge here for more than a year or two, so she is naturally used to it.

"So good!"

As Ling Changqing spoke, he raised his hand slightly, and twenty storage bags, storage bracelets and other space artifacts appeared on the golden cloud sandalwood table.

Without waiting for Xue Yumei to speak, he took out more than twenty spiritual-grade flying swords, flying boats, belts, boots, robes, Taoist robes, etc.

These things were contributed by the unlucky monks of the Yuanmo Sect who were in the ruins of the Immortal Palace.

Xue Yumei raised her eyebrows slightly, and her smile grew brighter. "These things are good. We will have a professional treasure appraiser appraise them and give you a fair and reasonable price."

"can."

Ling Changqing naturally had no objection to this.

Xue Yumei nodded and immediately gave a few instructions to the maid beside her. After she left, she returned with two treasure appraisers at the foundation-building level.

The treasure appraiser picked up the storage bag on the table, took out the items inside, and then appraised the prices of each item one by one, while a servant counted the numbers on the side.

It didn't take long. With the last Taoist robe being bid, the accumulated number had exceeded five hundred middle-grade spirit stones.

"Very good, I'll settle it at your price!"

Ling Changqing said that this was unexpected money, so there was no need to be fussy about whether it was more or less.

"Fellow Daoist Ling is indeed a straightforward person!"

Xue Yumei smiled and immediately signaled her maid to bring 520 medium-grade spirit stones and present them to her.

"Fellow Daoist Ling is quite wealthy, why don't you go and have a look at our treasure market?"

Xue Yumei continued, "There are a lot of good resources in there, including some martial arts manuals, third-level elixirs and talismans. I believe there will always be something that will excite you."

Ling Changqing nodded and said, "This... is definitely worth a look. Daoist friend, please lead the way!"

Then, another maid came in with a tray and handed it to Ling Changqing respectfully.

On the tray was a neatly folded gray cloak without any fluctuation of magical power. It was a special magical weapon.

Ling Changqing took a glance, then took the cloak and put it on. So in the eyes of others, he became an ordinary person who did not emit any aura or magical fluctuations.
