Lin Shan slowly stopped his power, opened his eyes, and felt the surging spiritual power in his body. At the same time, he reluctantly threw aside the last gourd containing the spiritual fluid. The wool he collected last time in the Gongsun Family's "Spiritual Vein Tide" was considered to be his.

Completely exhausted.

He glanced at the Black Skeleton Demon King who was looking in outside the window, and conveniently put away the virtual star disk that was still maintaining the starlight array. The skeleton frame outside opened its mouth in envy. If possible, it would probably leak out.

Already.

"Squeak~"

Pushing open the door of the training room, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord from the yard came up.

Fast forward ten years, except for summoning a dating girl once a month, I don't care about anything else, and I don't know how this business is doing.

The Black Skull Demon Lord probably reported to him the costs, operations, sales, services, rents, profits, and various relationship fees. In the end, Lingshi made a lot of money, but most of them continued to invest in expanding the scale, and the cash flow

not many.

Lin Shan didn't care too much about this. What he cared about was whether he had enough qualifications for "high-end trade fairs."

Facts have proved that this guy is indeed a talent. It only took him ten years to complete it. I don’t know how much thought and effort was spent in this process to allow a nascent chamber of commerce opened by an outsider to gain a foothold in this fairy city and be able to return the favor.

Make great achievements.

I saw it turned over and took out a square token with two simple characters "Wang Yue" on it.

"This is an exclusive token for the Wangyue City High-end Trade Fair. It's not enough to make the Chamber of Commerce bigger. I managed many high-level officials before I finally got it."

Lin Shan took the token and discovered through the enhancement panel that it was a magic weapon. The refining method was very unique and had the function of identifying one's identity and opening specific portals.

"With this token, it is equivalent to a pass for high-end trade fairs. You can become a VIP and participate in transactions without any hindrance."

As the Black Skull Demon Lord explained, he rubbed his hand bones "la la la la la", and his impatient expression made Lin Shan wary.

"In the high-end trade fair, there will definitely be no shortage of cultivation elixirs that you will need in the later stages of foundation building, as well as purple heart elixirs to break through bottlenecks!

Brother, I have been busy for ten years just to get this qualification, and I have always been thinking about you!"

Lin Shan couldn't help but feel moved. Thinking about it, he knew how difficult it was to get this thing. It was indeed a lot of trouble.

But, does this skeleton really care about me that much?

The next moment, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord followed again.

"Furthermore, if I want to restore my cultivation to the golden elixir stage, the konjac fruit and other heavenly and earthly spiritual things I need can only be found at high-end trade fairs."

Well, when the co-author persuaded me to open a chamber of commerce, it turned out that you had already planned this in advance?

…

Half a month later, Wangyue City.

Lin Shan was walking alone on the street wearing a gray robe and hood. These two magical weapons were the same suit as those worn by the Black Skeleton Demon Lord. However, he did not want to use them with the skeleton, so he asked it to refine one for him.

The set has the function of concealing one's appearance and cultivation. It is suitable for participating in places such as trade fairs where one's true identity is not easily exposed.

Arriving at a large attic building in the north of the city, I took out the "Moon Watching Order" and showed it to the monk guarding the door, and then entered the building easily.

A dedicated maid led us to the lobby on the second floor, where rows of tables and chairs were arranged in an orderly manner.

At this time, hundreds of monks have already taken their seats. Most of them have concealed their cultivation and changed their appearance. Only a few powerful people disdain this. Such people are basically powerful among the golden elixir stage monks.

Lin Shan silently found a corner and sat down, quietly waiting for the opening of the trade fair.

During this period, people walked in from time to time, some alone, some in groups.

Half an hour later, an old host came out and directly announced the start of the trade fair. The organizer gave a disc-shaped mirror artifact to everyone present.

"Everyone must have got the trading magic weapon in hand. There may be some Taoist friends who are new here and don't know much about the trading rules. I will briefly introduce it to you."

Most of the monks in the field were accustomed to this kind of opening remarks every time, in order to help the newcomers get familiar with it as soon as possible. They ignored it, and each played with the mirror magic weapon on their seats.

Lin Shan didn't know much about it and could only continue to listen to the host's introduction on the stage.

“In order to protect traders’ privacy and information communication, we specially created this on-site trading instrument.

You only need to follow the corresponding magic formula, activate the magic weapon in your hand, and enter the transaction items into it, and then others can see your information.

If there is a corresponding item that you want to trade, you can privately chat with the owner through this magic weapon.

After reaching a consensus, you can go to the cubicles around the hall for in-person delivery.”

After some explanation, Lin Shan roughly understood the function of this trading artifact: it was equivalent to opening something similar to the LAN in the previous life, establishing an item library for everyone to choose from, and then having group chat or private chat functions.

A relatively unique tool-refining communication method should be used to connect all the mirrors into a set of combined magic tools, and information can be exchanged through this object.

This combination of online and offline transactions does protect everyone's privacy to a certain extent and is much safer than an auction.

It can be seen from this that the level of weapon refining in the cultivation world of the Lu Kingdom cannot be said to have surpassed the cultivation world of the Song Dynasty, but it is obviously more distinctive in terms of innovation, and even such a thing as a "cultivation chat group" has been created.

Although the distance of transmitting information is very short, it is limited to this trading floor.

He activated the mirror in his hand according to the corresponding spell, and casually nicknamed him "The Man from Bear Mountain".

For trading items, enter "Phantom Spirit Wood", "Phantom Spirit Liquid" and "Small Magic Power Water Curtain Tianhua".

These were all things he had thought about before coming here. After all, that was all he could get away with at a high-end trade fair.

Those present were either golden elixir stage monks, people with powerful backgrounds, or self-made tycoons, so they naturally had very high standards.

Phantom wood and phantom liquid are both fourth-level spiritual materials harvested from the ancient phantom tree. Water curtain Tianhua is the legacy of the original Donggui master. It is of no use if he keeps it. It is best to use a small magical power of the wind system.

Nothing better.

Next, the mirror in his hand turned around, and the items were listed one after another. Rows of small light balls appeared in the mirror for Lin Shan to screen and select one by one.

Various magic weapons, elixirs, heaven and earth spiritual objects, spiritual beasts and insects, martial arts books, etc., including the three items provided by Lin Shan, are also listed.

He found the "Foundation Building Elixir" in the third row without even taking a second look. He reached out and clicked on the small ball of light, and a chat box popped up.

Lin Shan felt inexplicably familiar, so he tried typing in text to communicate, but his nickname appeared on the mirror.

[Xiong Shanren: Fellow Taoist, how do I change the foundation-building elixir? 】

After a while, a message came from the other side of the chat box on the mirror.

[Old fishing man: Which one do you want? I have red pills, blue pills, Chaoyun pills, etc.]

【Xiong Shanren: I don’t choose, I want them all.】

[Old Fishing Man: One foundation-building elixir recipe can be exchanged for five bottles, and a golden elixir phase elixir recipe can be exchanged for fifty bottles.]

[Xiong Shanren: Do you need anything else besides the pill recipe? Can I exchange it for spiritual stones? 】

[Old fishing man: I only want the recipe.]

The chat ends.

This person should be a monk present who is proficient in alchemy. His purpose is very clear. He wants nothing but the elixir recipe, and it is not inconvenient to disturb him.

Lin Shan continued to browse the mirror in his hand, and when he saw "Konjak Fruit" on the tenth line, he clicked on the chat box again.

[Bear Mountain Man: How to replace konjac fruit?]

The person I replaced this time responded very quickly.

[Eternal Confucianism and Taoism: Magic Treasures, Hybrid Zhizhi, Blood Path Small Magical Powers]

The magic weapon is a magic weapon that is more in line with the magic arts, and the remaining two are also related to the blood path.

Lin Shan secretly guessed that this person was probably a demonic monk wearing a "Confucianism" vest. After all, although the three demonic sects were wiped out, many monks must have escaped and then hid their identities and lived freely.

Could it be a certain protector of the Blood River Palace?

But this time he still didn't have what he wanted, and he still couldn't continue the conversation.

Next, he looked specifically at the exercises and magical powers. It had to be said that there were quite a few high-level monks present, and he was dazzled by the various exercises in them, including all categories.

But when it comes to the minor magical powers, there are only more than 20 kinds to talk about, and most of them come from the official forces of high-end trade fairs. People putting their names on it are probably just to show their appearance. I don’t expect this group of people from all over the world.

Individual travelers can afford it.

Because small supernatural powers and spells are not a big deal, they are kept secrets from some large forces. They are kept tighter than anyone else and it is impossible to spread them out. However, small and medium-sized forces can find a small magical power and spell as a foundation.

It's already quite remarkable.

Although some of the golden elixir monks present in the transaction had some magical powers, it was impossible for them to hand over the undisclosed secrets of the forces behind them. At most, they had other opportunities outside and could not use them, so they exchanged them.

The forces behind the high-end trade fair can produce nearly a dozen small magical powers at once. It is conceivable that they must be top-notch sects or aristocratic families to have such a large collection.

However, small supernatural powers and spells are extremely precious, and their value is higher than that of magic weapons. Not many people can afford to exchange them for equal value, and most people just enjoy it.

It was also an eye-opener for Lin Shan. Usually, with his small foundation building period, this kind of unique skill was rarely seen, but now he saw so many kinds of them all at once, which really made him feel itchy.

He picked and chose among the more than twenty kinds of minor magical powers, such as meteors and fire rain, earth dragon turning over, sunflower water cotton palm, broken wood golden seal, good magic rain, Dagong sword array, purple true fire, and extreme cold ice.

flame...

Most of them were quite satisfactory, and each system was listed. Looking at them one by one, he really found two small magical powers of the wind system.

It's just that they are not pure wind elements, but mixed magical powers. One is the minor magical power "Tornado Strike" from the second element of Feng Shui, and the other is the minor magical power "Lightning Storm" from the second element of wind and thunder.

Um?

Lin Shan's heart suddenly moved.

It doesn't matter if he is not a pure wind element, but he is also a person with thunder spirit roots. The second element of wind and thunder can be used 100%!

However, according to the introduction, this small magical power did not come from the official power of the trade fair, but was in the hands of a distinguished guest named "A Generation of Poet Immortals". It should be something that this person obtained while traveling abroad. He couldn't use it, so he took it out.

exchange.

Lin Shan thought for a moment and clicked on this person's chat box.

【Xiong Shanren: How to change "Lightning Storm"? 】

This time the person seems to be busy with business, chatting with many people, and it took a long time to receive a reply.

[Poetry Immortal of a Generation: Depending on the situation, it is best to exchange one small magical power for another, and give back the more and make up for the less.]

[Xiong Shanren: I have a small magical power of the water system called "Water Curtain Tianhua".]

[A Generation of Poet Immortal: Yes, it’s good, it can be exchanged... But if I exchange a single-type magical power for a dual-type, I’m afraid it’s not even close. 】

[Xiong Shanren: A single type of magical power has a wide audience, and it can keep its value if you keep it in your hand. Although the wind and thunder magical powers are rare, it is not easy to find a suitable seller. ]

[A generation of poetry fairy: Doesn’t this allow me to meet you? 】

【Bear Mountain Man:???】

…

Lin Shan earnestly chatted with a generation of poetry immortals, and it turned out that the guy was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. He was obviously an old man who had lived in the world of cultivation for countless years and had a very good grasp of people's hearts.

In the end, Lin Shan increased the price three times, and the other party just accepted it when it was good.

[Xiongshanren: Water Curtain Tianhua, plus three one-foot-long phantom trees]

[A generation of poets: Well... OK]

After experiencing the previous two failures, this time the transaction was barely successful, and the other party invited him to exchange in the cubicle No. 5 next to it.

Lin Shan raised his head and looked around, and found that everyone in the field was lowering their heads and pulling the trading magic weapons.

Some people were hesitant, some looked unwilling, some looked happy, and some seemed to have broken down the conversation, and they were furiously chatting with each other...

He stood up and walked into cubicle No. 5. There was already a man in a bamboo hat sitting there. His voice was indistinguishable from male to female, and he was obviously hiding it intentionally.

"Bear Mountain Man?"

Lin Shan, wearing a gray robe and hood, nodded, took out a jade slip from his storage bracelet, and placed three branches on the table.

The man in the bamboo hat also took out a clam shell, the gray and blue colors slightly showing the vicissitudes of life.

Lin Shan picked up the clam shell and the reinforced panel popped out:

【Lightning Storm】

Quality: Minor magical powers

Introduction: The second series of wind and thunder attack magical powers were created by Lord Lingfeng based on the bloodline magical power of the monster thunder clam. It can change the local celestial phenomena and carry out indiscriminate lightning and storm strikes on the casting area.

Strengthening requirements: 64 points

…

Lin Shan's heart was racing.

Generally speaking, minor supernatural powers and spells are only eligible to be studied and practiced in the Golden Core Stage. Only some geniuses with outstanding understanding, like Lei Yuzi of the Zixiao Sect, can master one in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But it is only a preliminary mastery. At most, I can condense a small magical mark and still have a cast forward. This is already an incredible existence in the same realm.

And now that he has no shortage of ancient charm, he can first start practicing to create a small magical mark, and then directly strengthen the mark to become the magical power of the Zhensect! At that time, with the high-quality characteristics of the enhanced panel, it might be very likely that after strengthening, it would directly become the magical power of the Zhensect.

seed!

The magic mark or supernatural power mark is only the initial mastery, but the seed represents complete understanding.

When the time comes, you will be able to instantly activate the magical power to suppress the sect during the foundation building stage. Wouldn’t that mean walking sideways at the same level?

There might even be hope for transcending the next level...

Just as he was feeling longing in his heart, the man in a bamboo hat opposite him inspected the jade slips, picked up three pieces of phantom wood, checked them, and chuckled slightly.

"Your Excellency took advantage of this transaction. You used a duplicate magical jade slip and three spiritual materials to exchange for my unique magical power. Tsk tsk tsk~"

The "Lightning Storm" that the man in the bamboo hat took out is a clam shell inheritance imprinted with artistic conception. The quality is indeed much better than the jade slip inheritance.

Lin Shan knew that this person would have a future story, so he dealt with it casually:

"Fellow Taoist is joking. You must have heard about how stringent the conditions are for making jade slips for the inheritance of magical powers. It requires monks in the Nascent Soul stage who have mastered the magical powers themselves to work hard for several years to make them. They contain illusions and phantoms, and they will be given to later generations in person.

The author demonstrates various tricks, but I do not have the ability to copy this jade slip.

Moreover, the jade slips can be viewed multiple times, and your clam shells are useless after being used once, so everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages and no one suffers."

Items like clam shells imprinted with the true meaning of supernatural powers are suitable for a lone ranger to comprehend and absorb in one go, and the understanding can be profound quickly. As for things like inherited jade slips, although it takes years and months to learn, or even decades, it may not be possible to learn them, but

After learning it, it can be resold or kept in value. It can even be used as a foundation within a force for many disciples to study.

Therefore, there is no specific explanation for who takes advantage and who suffers.

The man in the hat obviously knew the ropes, and did not dwell on this topic. Instead, he pointed to the phantom spirit wood on the table: "I just planned to ask a friend to refine an illusion array. These three materials are not good enough, Your Excellency.

There should be some extra, right? Please give me a price."

Lin Shan thought that he might be able to continue trading.

"Okay, do you have konjac fruit?"

The man in a bamboo hat shook his head: "No."

"The magic treasure, mixed blood mushrooms, and small blood magic powers can also be used."

Lin Shan thought it would be nice to exchange it with the previous "Eternal Confucianism and Taoism".

The man in the hat still shook his head: "I don't have any of these demonic things."

"What about the foundation-building elixir, or the elixir that breaks through the bottleneck?"

This time, the man in the bamboo hat nodded. Judging from his attitude, he seemed to be worth a lot. He took out a lot of bottles and cans from the storage magic weapon.

These are all the elixirs that he had not used during the foundation building period. There are several kinds, including the Purple Heart elixir that broke through the bottleneck. It is enough to show that this person has a big power behind him and has never been short of training resources.

"Fellow Taoist, it's for the juniors, right? How about these things added up to a piece of phantom wood?"

Lin Shan picked them up one by one and used the enhanced panel to identify them. After confirming that no manipulation was done, he estimated that so many elixirs should be enough for him to need in the later stage of foundation building, so he agreed to the deal.

Both of them were very satisfied. The man in the hat took advantage of the situation and proposed to exchange contact information, but Lin Shan decisively refused.

Are you kidding me? Once my real identity is revealed and I learn that I am in the foundation building stage, you will probably come to my door the next day!

After walking out of booth No. 5, Lin Shan returned to his seat in the hall.

At this time, there was a message pop-up on his mirror screen, prompting that a person named "Mr. Teacher" took the initiative to contact him. He clicked on it and took a look:

[Mr. Teacher: I am very interested in Taoist friend’s phantom spirit wood and phantom spirit liquid!]

【Bear Mountain Man: Give me konjac fruit in exchange.】

The person on the other side may have been stunned for a while.

[Teacher: I am a Confucian monk, how can I have any demonic or spiritual things...]

【Xiong Shanren: I just want konjac fruit.】

[Mr. Teacher: Fellow Taoist, please be accommodating. I have several different fourth-level spiritual materials here. Do you want to take a look? 】

This time, the new teacher persuaded Lin Shan earnestly and said some things that he had never heard of before. Lin Shan was not very interested. Anyway, he only wanted konjac fruit and his attitude was very firm.

[Xiong Shanren: Someone is trading konjac fruit on the field, you can trade with that person first.]

[Mr. Teacher: Okay, I’ll go take a look.]

After a while, maybe the person opposite asked, and there was another message in the mirror.

[Teacher: I got the konjac fruit, and it took a lot of effort...]

Lin Shan curled his lips. Just now, this man said that he didn't have any magic items, but in the blink of an eye he got konjac fruit instead.

【Bear Mountain Man: Three phantom trees one foot long.】

【Teacher: Five roots!】

[Xiong Shanren: Fellow Taoist has gone too far. You should know how rare the phantom wood is.]

【Teacher: Seven roots!】

【Bear Mountain Man:???】

[Mr. Teacher: Haha! Now I am the only one who has konjac fruit in the market. This is the only one. If you miss it, this village will not have this shop! 】

The teacher probably thought that Lin Shan was in urgent need of konjac fruit, so he tried every means to exchange it, so he wanted to test him first, feel his bottom line, and then take the opportunity to talk again.

Lin Shan could guess this person's shameless face through the screen, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Okay! You're going to raise the price on the ground, right? Then I'll just break the pot and stop following! Anyway, it's the Black Skull Demon Lord who needs it, so let him find his own way.

[Xiong Shanren: OK, keep it to yourself and play with it slowly!]

【Teacher:???】

Lin Shan ignored him and began to look through the other treasures in the mirror one by one. He was also very excited about some of them and was thinking about whether to change some more.

The teacher opposite probably waited a long time for a response, and he started to panic.

[Teacher: Let’s take five.]

Lin Shan didn't care about him, so he swiped the small pop-up window on the mirror screen to the right~

After a while.

[Mr. Teacher: Brother, I was joking with you just now. Let’s each take a step back. How about four? 】

Lin Shan sneered, if I had had a more correct attitude just now, maybe I would have agreed, but now? I want to eat shit!

After a while.

[Mr. Teacher: Brother, tell me something! Just three, just treat it as a friend.]

Lin Shan was indifferent.

Finally, seeing that the time for the trade fair was almost over, the host on the stage announced that everyone could leave the meeting in a quarter of an hour.

[Teacher: Brother, I was wrong, I was careless just now...]

【Xiongshanren: Two sticks, you can change them if you like!】
