Xiuxian: I have an inventory

Chapter 128 Complete Rejection
Xiao Changqing put away the third-level soul attack magic weapon Jiuqiu Xiao.

He is now quite wealthy, with more than 90,000 spirit stones on hand, but he cannot afford to spend them!
Think about it.

He only bought two pieces of equipment today, one of which was only a second-level magic weapon, but it cost him nearly 23,000 low-grade spirit stones.

A quarter of it was spent!

Now that the system has no equipment restrictions, the more the better. If he sees suitable high-level equipment later, he will definitely buy it.

If a few more third-tier magic weapons come, he won't have enough spirit stones, and he'll have to use elixirs and magic weapons to make up for it!
So save when you should and spend when you should.

If you can bargain, you will never be cheated.

Anyway, it would be hard to find a suitable customer for the Jiuqiu Xiao except him, so he was helping the shop owner to clear the inventory.

So Xiao Changqing didn't feel any embarrassment for having slightly cheated the shop owner.

But he didn't expect that the shop owner seemed to feel embarrassed towards him, as if he owed him a favor and wanted to compensate him.

The shopkeeper thought seriously for a moment, as if he had made some kind of decision, and asked, "Fellow Daoist, in three months, Liyang Xiancheng will hold an auction that takes place once every ten years. I wonder if you are interested and have you got a ticket?"

At this moment, Xiao Changqing is trying hard to suppress his inner ecstasy and try not to show it.

The shopkeeper's words were completely beyond his expectations. After a pause, he shook his head and said, "No. I've only been in Liyang Xiancheng for a month, and I haven't even heard of this auction..."

An auction held once every ten years, with a scale as large as that of Liyang Xiancheng, must be extraordinary and there will be many treasures.

The shopkeeper nodded and introduced: "This auction is jointly held by the City Lord's Mansion and the 'Jiu Lian Chamber of Commerce'. Daoist friends, you should have heard of the Jiu Lian Chamber of Commerce. It is not only the number one chamber of commerce in our Dayu Xiuxian world, but its influence also covers several nearby Xiuxian kingdoms..."

"So the auction has a very high standard and includes all kinds of treasures. Treasures that are rarely seen in normal times may appear at the auction."

"But the tickets for the auction were snapped up by various parties as soon as they went on sale a year ago."

"Right now, I guess only the City Lord's Mansion and the ten major families have some extra tickets. If you haven't joined a certain faction yet, you may not be able to get a ticket."

Xiao Changqing quickly said: "I just didn't join any one faction."

The shop owner smiled and said, "I can see that."

I don't know how he figured it out.

He took out a special token from his storage bag and said, "This ticket, even when it was first sold a year ago, required three hundred low-grade spirit stones. I happen to have an extra one here, so I'll give it to you. Just consider it as a thank you for supporting Duobao Pavilion's business. I hope you'll come again next time."

Xiao Changqing didn't hesitate and took it immediately, "Thank you, shopkeeper. I will definitely come to Duobao Pavilion often in the future!"

Today's visit to Duobao Pavilion brought him a lot of gains.

However, in the largest shop in Liyang Fairy City that had the most second-hand magic tools, he could only find two treasures that were worth buying.

This shows that the system has very high requirements for equipment, and also shows that Xiao Changqing's level is relatively high now.

Although he is only in the middle stage of foundation building, his strength has already reached above the Jindan stage.

Ordinary second-level magic weapons are of little use to him.

Only a beloved item like the 'Sky Blue Talisman Pen' that was used by someone with third-level skills could be of greater help to him.

Although Li Yang Fairy City is prosperous and has many treasures, it is not easy for Xiao Changqing to find the one that suits him, and he needs to rely on luck.

Especially after he had visited all the large stores similar to Duobao Pavilion in the city, it would be even more difficult to find suitable treasures.

such as.

The equipment that he wanted most urgently to upgrade his spiritual roots to the level of Heavenly Spiritual Roots was nowhere to be found after a thorough search in Duobao Pavilion.

Perhaps, this auction held once every ten years is a good opportunity.

Large cities like Liyang Fairy City hold auctions once every ten years, and the treasures that can be auctioned are definitely not ordinary.

……

……

Returned from Duobao Pavilion to his newly rented cave.

Xiao Changqing was just about to study the two new pieces of equipment he had acquired today, but he ran into his neighbor, the second-level formation master Zhu Xiaochuan.

Xiao Changqing wanted to pretend he didn't see it and go home quickly, but Zhu Xiaochuan didn't know how to read other people's moods. He stopped Xiao Changqing immediately and said excitedly, "Friend Bai, you're back just in time. I was just looking for you."

Xiao Changqing was helpless: "Is there anything I can do for you, Friend Zhu?"

Zhu Xiaochuan nodded: "Yes! It's a great thing! Let's go to your house and I'll tell you slowly. I drank your spirit wine last time and it tasted really good. If you have more in stock, how about selling me some?"

After moving here from a former Xiao Changqing and visiting Zhu Xiaochuan.

Since Xiao Changqing was very "polite" and cooperated with Zhu Xiaochuan in showing off, Zhu Xiaochuan had a very good impression of Xiao Changqing, as if to say, "You are my friend."

Xiao Changqing never visited him again afterwards, but he visited Xiao Changqing twice on his own.

Every time he said he had something to talk to Xiao Changqing about, but in fact they were all trivial matters and nothing important.

"Friend Zhu, I have something to do today. If it's not something particularly important, how about we talk about it another day?" Xiao Changqing declined tactfully.

"It's important! It's extremely important! Just trust me." Unfortunately, Zhu Xiaochuan didn't understand at all, and pulled Xiao Changqing into the cave.

Xiao Changqing didn't want to drive the man away by force, so he had to listen to what the other party wanted to say today.

Sit down in the reception room.

Lin Ziyu served snacks and wine to the two of them.

Zhu Xiaochuan drank it happily, then said with a smile: "Friend Bai, you should not have joined the ten major families yet, right?"

"Not yet." Xiao Changqing glanced at him and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, are you here today to lobby for one of the ten great families?"

"Of course not!" Zhu Xiaochuan shook his head, took two more sips of wine, tasted it, and then stopped keeping the secret. He smiled and said, "I'm here to give you a great opportunity! I told you before that it would be difficult for you to join the City Lord's Mansion, but now the opportunity has come! The City Lord's Mansion is preparing to recruit a group of guest officials recently, and the conditions are much more relaxed than before. I took a look, and with your conditions, plus I'll say a few good words for you, you will have almost no problem joining the City Lord's Mansion!"

Xiao Changqing: ...

I thought it was something important. But this is it?

This new neighbor has lived in Liyang Xiancheng for decades and claims to have a very good relationship with the City Lord's Mansion. How could he be so out of touch with the news?
He had already received an invitation from the City Lord's Mansion!

"How about it? Are you interested?" Zhu Xiaochuan still didn't understand why, so he strongly recommended, "This is a rare opportunity. In the more than 100 years since the establishment of Liyang Xiancheng, except for the first dozen years, the conditions for the City Lord's Mansion to recruit guests may have been more relaxed. In the past 100 years, at least there has been no such opportunity."

"Um... Thank you for your kindness, friend Zhu. But I have other plans, so the City Lord's Mansion will not join."

Xiao Changqing is not the kind of person who would magnify others' appearances without giving any face.

Anyway, this new neighbor, Mr. Zhu Daoyou, is quite kind-hearted and came to "remind" me with good intentions.

I guess he thinks this is indeed a good opportunity and he should seize it.

"What? Not joining the City Lord's Mansion?" Zhu Xiaochuan's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously: "Does Brother Bai Daoist have a better choice than the City Lord's Mansion?"

Xiao Changqing shook his head and said with a smile: "No. It's just that I'm used to being idle and not used to being a guest official. To be a guest official in the City Lord's Mansion, you have to sign a contract for at least 30 years, and I'm drifting around. Maybe after a dozen years, I want to leave Liyang Fairy City. If I become a guest official, I can't leave."

"Thirty years may seem like a long time, but for a foundation-building cultivator like me, whose life span is nearly two hundred years, it is not too long. Liyang Immortal City is so large that it is not a problem to cultivate to the stage of forming a pill... Of course, this depends on talent." Zhu Xiaochuan was a little anxious and said, "In short, fellow Daoist Bai, please listen to my advice. This is a great opportunity! If it were an ordinary person, I would not even bother to help him!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, there is no need to say more. I have made up my mind." Xiao Changqing did not explain further.

He could analyze the pros and cons with the Lin sisters, but there were some things he couldn't say too clearly to Zhu Xiaochuan.

It's impossible to say that he thought the City Lord's Mansion was in trouble, and it was a big trouble that even Master Li Yang could not solve.

Let’s not talk about whether Zhu Xiaochuan believed it or not. Even if he did, given this guy’s big mouth, if he spread his words…

"Oh, you...well." Zhu Xiaochuan sighed and shook his head.

He originally wanted to help Xiao Changqing and give him a chance to enter the City Lord's Mansion. We were all neighbors and we got along so well, so it was only right for us to help each other.

But who would have thought that Xiao Changqing was so rude and unmotivated!
Originally, he had a very high opinion of Xiao Changqing, but now it seems that he is from a small place after all and is not adapted to a big city like Liyang Fairy City.

He thought that with his cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Stage and being a second-rank talisman master, he could still thrive without joining any forces.

Yes.

The foundation-building cultivators are not considered to be at the bottom of the society in Liyang Immortal City and can live a relatively decent life.

However, if you want to obtain more resources, it is impossible not to join a certain force.

Why would a cultivator from a small place come to a prosperous place like Liyang Immortal City? Isn't it for resources and to improve their cultivation?

Zhu Xiaochuan was in a bad mood and had nothing to say, so he prepared to leave.

Although he was confident that he could recommend Xiao Changqing to the City Lord's Mansion, that was only under the condition that Xiao Changqing actively cooperated, and he even had to pay some spirit stones and build relationships.

If Xiao Changqing doesn't cooperate, there's nothing he can do.

Just when Zhu Xiaochuan got up, someone else came to the door.

It was none other than Yue Feng, one of the disciples who had come to invite Xiao Changqing and Li Yang Zhenren!
Last time, Xiao Changqing did not directly reject Yue Feng, but just said that he would think about it. If he had thought it through, he would go to the City Lord's Mansion to find him.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Changqing did not go to the City Lord's Mansion, but the other party came to him on his own initiative.

"Friend Yue, why are you here?" Zhu Xiaochuan was completely unresponsive when he saw the person coming.

Yue Feng greeted him with a smile: "Master Zhu Fu is here too. Do you know Fellow Daoist Bai?"

"I live next door and am a neighbor of Mr. Bai..." Zhu Xiaochuan looked at Yue Feng, then at Xiao Changqing, and had a bad feeling in his heart, as if he had thought of something.

really.

The next moment, Yue Feng was heard saying, "I came to invite fellow Daoist Bai to join the City Lord's Mansion a month ago. At that time, fellow Daoist Bai did not agree to my request immediately, saying that he would consider it. I came here today to ask fellow Daoist Bai how he is thinking..."

After saying that, Yue Feng looked at Xiao Changqing.

Xiao Changqing was helpless and had nothing to hide, so he simply repeated what he had just said to Zhu Xiaochuan.

Yue Feng had been smiling during these two visits, but after hearing Xiao Changqing's rejection, he frowned: "Friend Bai, are you sure you want to give up this opportunity? Do you want to reconsider it?"

Although Zhu Xiaochuan felt a little embarrassed at this time, he was still thinking about helping Xiao Changqing find connections and recommending him.

Unexpectedly, the City Lord's Mansion had already invited Xiao Changqing.

But at this time he still said enthusiastically: "Yes, fellow Daoist Bai, please think about it again! If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this shop!"

Xiao Changqing would naturally not change his decision, and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint Daoist Yue. I'm just an idler, so I won't cause trouble for the City Lord's Mansion."

Listening to Xiao Changqing's words, which were gentle but firm in attitude.

Yue Feng took a deep look at him, without showing any obvious emotion on his face, and said calmly: "Then I wish you a long and prosperous immortal path, and I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Zhu Xiaochuan patted Xiao Changqing on the shoulder, sighed, and said with a look of pity, "Friend Bai, you should learn from your mistakes."

Then he chased after Yue Feng and left quickly.

Faintly, he could be heard saying something good for Xiao Changqing: "Fellow Daoist Yue, don't be angry. Fellow Daoist Bai has just been in Liyang Xiancheng for a short time, and his cognition may not have changed yet. He doesn't know what it means to join the City Lord's Mansion, and how many benefits it will bring. I believe that after a long time, he will regret his decision today..."

Watching the two people leaving, Xiao Changqing smiled and shook his head, muttering: "It should be said that this neighbor is indeed a warm-hearted person, not a bad person."

However, he certainly won't regret it.

As for whether there will be opportunities to deal with the City Lord's Mansion in the future, he doesn't know for the time being.

But he believed that even if there was a chance for dealing with each other in the future, it would not be him who would ask the City Lord's Mansion or Yue Feng for help.

On the contrary, there is a great possibility that Yue Feng, or even the City Lord's Mansion, may need his help by then!

"Inventory!"

As Xiao Changqing moved his head, the system interface immediately appeared. The interfaces of the two new equipment purchased today were opened, and he began to study new skills.

This is where Xiao Changqing’s confidence comes from!
