Chapter 152 The trade fair begins

The huge Dharma ship of Jingxue Pavilion, like a prehistoric giant beast, slowly rose into the sky, and then suddenly accelerated, turning into a stream of light and disappearing into the sky.

In the pavilion above the Dharma Boat.

"I've met fellow Taoist Qin!"

"Hello, Mr. Qin!"

Inside the luxuriously decorated private room, all the top executives of the Jingxue Pavilion branch in Tianhefang City have arrived.

"Fellow Daoist Qin! Let me introduce you. This is our pavilion's Dharma Protector Li Mu. You may not have met him before." After Aunt Long welcomed Fellow Daoist Qin into the room, she began to introduce him.

A square-faced middle-aged monk in his forties stood up from his seat, bowed to Qin Ming, and greeted him, "Fellow Daoist Qin, I have heard of your great name for a long time!"

Qin Ming also politely returned the greeting, "Friend Li Daoyou."

He looked around the room. Among the cultivators from Jingxue Pavilion who were heading to Qianye Ling Island, Li Mu had the highest cultivation level, which was in the middle stage of foundation building.

There are three other cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, including Aunt Long.

A mid-stage foundation building cultivator and three early-stage foundation building cultivators escorting the magic ship can be considered a luxurious lineup.

Moreover, Qin Ming had just secretly observed the guardian Li Mu. He had a strong magical power and was definitely not an ordinary mid-stage foundation building cultivator. His strength should be quite strong.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone sat down to drink tea and chat.

A few hours later.

The speed of the French ship gradually began to slow down.

Aunt Long stood by the window and looked out, then said, "We have arrived at Qianye Spiritual Island, let's get ready."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming also went over to take a look, and saw a huge spiritual island appear under the magic ship. Its size was dozens of times larger than his Wangyue Island, and the island kept getting bigger in his field of vision.

Qianye Lingdao had been devastated by war and was riddled with holes, but after a period of repair and restoration, it has almost returned to its original appearance.

Qin Ming walked to the deck outside and looked down at the entire island. The first thing that caught his eye was the majestic Chiba Mountains.

There are rolling seas of clouds and cranes and magical birds flying constantly between the mountains, making you feel as if you are in a fairyland.

The outside of the Spirit Island was covered by a huge light curtain emitting green light, with runes flowing inside. It was obviously a third-level formation that the Nie family had set up on the island after they came to power.

The great formation was set against the clouds in the distant sky, emitting a colorful glow.

Countless Dharma ships of various sizes kept passing by, in various shapes and sizes, with flags representing various forces on their masts fluttering in the wind.

Such a spectacular scene, like a fairyland, is refreshing and pleasant.

Half an incense stick later, the magic ship of Jingxue Pavilion docked at the port of Qianye Lingdao.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, let's go down first. Protector Li and the others still need to supervise matters such as the transportation of goods." Aunt Long said with a smile.

Qin Ming nodded and followed Aunt Long off the Dharma ship.

A guard checkpoint has been set up at the port entrance of Qianye Lingdao. A long line of monks is waiting in line to check their invitation letters and verify their identities before entering the island.

Aunt Long took Qin Ming around the teams and entered from another entrance. There were only a few foundation-building cultivators guarding there, and there was no need to queue.

However, the inspection here is more stringent. Not only is there a high-level formation for identifying camouflage, but there is also a spirit dog-like monster in the foundation-building stage, which constantly sniffs the breath of the cultivators who come here.

After Auntie Long showed the invitation letter from Jingxue Pavilion, an old Foundation Establishment master among the guards of Qianye Spirit Island hurriedly greeted him warmly, "Hey! It's Fellow Daoist Long from Jingxue Pavilion. Please come and invite him in!"

After that, his eyes fell on Qin Ming next to him. A trace of astonishment first flashed across the old man's face, and then a look of surprise emerged. He arched his hands towards Qin Ming and said, "Island Master Qin is here too! It's an honor!"

Qin Ming handed over the invitation letter with a smile on his face: "Haha! I also heard that Qianye Spirit Island held a grand event, so I came here to join in the fun when I had nothing to do." "Island Master Qin is a famous spiritual plant master in Lingqi Islands, so he is naturally welcome."

The old man who had built his foundation personally led Qin Ming and the other person into the island.

We arrived at an empty valley where many large and small buildings were built. It should be the venue for the trade fair.

In the middle there is a huge square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, with seats and stands.

The old man from the Nie family led the two of them into a villa in the valley. This must be the temporary residence of Jingxue Pavilion in the next few days.

Afterwards, the old man explained some precautions to them, especially stating that they were prohibited from entering several restricted areas on the island.

Qin Ming and Aunt Long entered the villa arranged by the Nie family. It was shaded by green plants, with unique ponds, rockery and garden landscapes, and a quiet environment.

From time to time, quaint pavilions, towers, exquisite stone carvings and wood carvings come into view.

Outside the villa is a row of shops open to the public where goods can be traded.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, you can rest in the room for a while, or go outside for a walk. I will go and check on the goods." Aunt Long said to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming nodded, "Friend Long, you go and get busy first."

After Aunt Long left, Qin Ming walked out and observed the surrounding situation alone.

Everyone in Jingxue Pavilion also started to get busy, placing all the goods in the shops along the street.

Half a day later.

In the valley of Qianye Lingdao, all shops began to open to the public.

Qin Ming stood on the stone road outside, looking at the crowds of people and the rows of shops, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Sanmeng and the Nie family are really good. This is even more lively than the Qingyang Market in the past."

After all the Lingdao families, big and small, and the various invited forces had settled in, the valley became crowded with people, merchants, and guests.

"Oh! Come and have a look, take a look!"

"The blue water fish, a specialty of Longkui Island, is effective in improving mana during the Qi training period. It tastes extremely delicious."

"The talismans produced by Wanjia are on sale at a special price! Quality guaranteed, no cheating!"

"What? The Wan family is here too? Their talismans are famous far and wide. Give me two!"

"The Xiaotuoshan Weapon Refining Workshop has all kinds of magical instruments. They are essential instruments for home travel, fighting and self-defense!"

"..."

Qin Ming also wandered around the valley and bought some things he liked.

The trading exchanges between these spiritual islands have brought considerable popularity to the upcoming trade fair.

The beginning of noon.

Aunt Long notified Qin Ming to come over, as the first day of the trade fair on Qianye Spiritual Island was about to begin.

Representatives from all the major Spirit Island families and forces have also arrived and are taking their seats one by one around the central square.

Qin Ming also came to Jingxue Pavilion and randomly picked a chair to sit down.

He looked around at the people present and found that there were many people with powerful auras.

There were several familiar figures among them. Huo Qianqiu and others from the Seventy-two Islands Alliance also came. Qin Ming observed the magical aura on their bodies and found that they had broken through to the late stage of foundation building.
