Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 210 Exchange Meeting (two chapters in one)

"Jiapinju" looks little different from other shops in appearance. The business is tepid, and the number of monks coming and going is not too many, but not too few either.

Liu Yu calmly raised his head, glanced at the store's plaque, and walked in.

His steps were not hurried, but appeared extremely calm and steady, in contrast to other monks who were in a hurry.

Because he didn't deliberately restrain his spiritual pressure, he was quickly noticed by the store clerk after entering.

Immediately, a slender female cultivator with bright makeup, wearing a green dress, who looked like a shop steward came up to her.

"Senior, welcome to Jiapinju. Please go to the private room and take a seat first."

"The little lady immediately informs the chief and comes to entertain the senior in person."

"Senior, if you need anything, please feel free to tell me."

The female nun in the green dress had a humble and respectful smile on her face, she bowed slightly and saluted, and then spoke softly.

Monks in the foundation-building stage are already considered "major patrons" for a store as small as Jiapinju. The amount of spiritual stones they trade far exceeds that of monks in the qi-refining stage, so of course they have to be taken seriously.

And she herself is only a monk in the Qi refining stage, and she doesn't dare to offend the senior foundation builder.

If she were a guest in the Qi refining period, she would dare to show off her beauty to see if she could seduce him.

But now in the presence of the foundation-building senior, she didn't dare to show off at all. Every move she made was in order, for fear of violating some of the senior's taboos.

Magical instruments, elixirs, talismans, etc. are all placed on exquisite counters.

The monks in front of the counter were either quietly watching the selection, exchanging words with the waiters, or haggling eloquently with the store stewards.

"lead the way."

If there was no one around, Liu Yu slowly turned her head and looked around the interior of Jiapinju, taking in a panoramic view of the situation inside the store.

Then after hearing the words of the female cultivator in green skirt, he glanced at her lightly and uttered two words coldly.

"Senior, please come with me."

The female cultivator in green skirt did not dare to neglect after hearing this, she immediately stretched out her hand to lead the way.

Liu Yu followed her, went up two flights of stairs, entered a beautifully decorated elegant room on the third floor, and sat down at one end of a brown wooden table.

After pouring a cup of good spiritual tea respectfully and politely, the woman excused herself, quietly closed the door and left, apparently going to inform the person in charge here.

The floor was covered with unknown yellow animal skins, and various formally framed landscape paintings were hung on the walls. There were two sticks of incense stuck on a small incense burner in the corner, and a faint fragrance filled the room.

In addition, there are many kinds of decorations in the room, and there is even a weapons shelf with eighteen kinds of brand new weapons.

Liu Yu looked at the layout of the room and couldn't help but nodded secretly. It was obvious that Jiapinju had put a lot of effort into the decoration.

After a quick scan of his consciousness, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the spiritual tea. He picked up the tea cup and walked to the wall, sipping it while admiring the calligraphy and paintings.

Before he could wait long, the door to the private room was pushed open again, and a young man wearing a yellow robe and an old face walked in.

As soon as the young man in yellow robe came in, he saw Liu Yu who was admiring calligraphy and painting. He immediately walked forward and said with a smile:

"Welcome fellow Taoists to Jiapinju. If there is any lack of hospitality, please forgive me."

"Qiu Zongxing, I am the head of Jiapinju. I wonder what you call me?"

Qiu Zongxing was also in the foundation building period, and both parties were equal in status, but because Liu Yu was a guest, his tone was quite polite.

"My surname is Hong."

Liu Yu had already discovered it when Qiu Zongxing came in, but it was only now that he turned around and spoke concisely.

He still uses his former pseudonym. The Yuanyang Sect's mountain gate is far away from here, so he doesn't have to worry about being associated with it.

"Haha, it turns out that Fellow Daoist Hong, I saw that Fellow Daoist was standing here just now. Could it be that he is also interested in these calligraphy and paintings?"

Qiu Zongxing smiled heartily, and then spoke, trying to open up the topic and shorten the distance between them.

He didn't care about Liu Yu's somewhat cold attitude. There were all kinds of people in the world of immortality. After being the leader for so many years, what kind of monk had he not received?

"Just a little research."

Liu Yu smiled lightly and said.

In his previous life, he did like antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and rare treasures, but he did not have the money to buy them. In this life, he is obsessed with immortality, and he has become a little indifferent to this former hobby.

"Fellow Daoist Hong, you should take a closer look. Although this "Dragon Crouching in the Yellow Spring" is just an imitation, it still has some charm of the real work."

"The real "Dragon crouching over the Yellow Spring" is said to have been painted by a powerful man named Fang in ancient times after slaying a dragon. It is majestic and implies a Taoist charm, but it is a pity that it has been lost."

Hearing that Liu Yu also liked calligraphy and painting, Qiu Zongxing perked up and immediately pointed to one of the paintings on the wall.

He talked eloquently about how difficult it was for him to obtain this painting. When he mentioned that the original "Dragon Crouching in the Yellow Spring" was lost, his tone was extremely regretful.

Liu Yu automatically filtered out Qiu Zongxing's words and looked at the painting. It was indeed as majestic as a mountain, and the dragon was so lifelike that it gave people an indescribable feeling of insignificance.

It's a pity that it is a dead thing after all.

Liu Yu looked at it for a while. Although he felt a little fond of it, he still withdrew his gaze.

Qiu Zongxing seemed to have finally met a monk who also loved calligraphy and painting, and he was also a monk in the same realm, so he was a little excited and talked endlessly.

Seeing this, Liu Yu frowned slightly and had to interrupt:

"Mr. Qiu, I can talk about the antiques, calligraphy and paintings later. Let's get down to business now."

He is here to sell cultivation resources, so naturally he is not willing to waste time on meaningless things. In the world of immortality, swords and swords are shining, and a monk like him who aims at immortality does not have much time to appreciate antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

"Ahem, what Fellow Daoist Hong said is that we should do business first."

"It's not easy to meet someone from the same Taoism, and we got into a lively conversation, which made fellow Taoists laugh."

Liu Yu said it was okay, then walked to the wooden table, put the tea cup on the table, and sat down on a Taishi chair.

Then he took off a low-grade storage bag from his waist, pushed it towards Qiu Zongxing who was already sitting opposite, and asked at the same time:

"Should Jiapinju collect low-level immortal cultivation resources?"

Qiu Zongxing got himself a cup of spiritual tea, took the storage bag and replied without even thinking after hearing this:

"Take it, of course."

"If fellow Taoist sellers sell resources to our store, Jiapinju guarantees that they will be purchased at normal market prices."

"Win-win cooperation, we will never let fellow Taoists suffer."

Liu Yu was used to being noncommittal about such words, and he didn't believe a word of it anyway.

He looked calm and did not speak, but just motioned for him to check the resources inside.

"One thousand six hundred spiritual stones."

Qiu Zongxing seemed to have been in charge for many years, and he was very familiar with the prices of various magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, etc. He counted the numbers with his spiritual consciousness. He just pondered the calculation for a while and then quoted a price.

"Can."

Liu Yu already knew the price of these immortal cultivation resources. He paused for a while after hearing the price quoted, and then nodded in agreement.

This price is very fair, slightly higher than the market purchase price by about half a percent, probably because we are both Foundation Establishment monks.

Even if the price could be negotiated, it would only cost a few dozen or a hundred spiritual stones, so he was too lazy to continue writing.

"Okay, Fellow Daoist Hong is really happy."

After hearing the answer he wanted, Qiu Zongxing smiled brightly and praised,

He immediately took out sixteen pieces of medium-grade spirit stones, put them on the table and pushed them towards Liu Yu. At the same time, he did not rush to put away the storage bag to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Liu Yu immediately counted the number of spirit stones and put them all into the storage bag with a wave of his arm. This transaction was considered completed.

Seeing this, Qiu Zongxing also put away the storage bag. Everyone was happy for a while. He took the initiative to talk to Liu Yu and told some news about antiques, calligraphy and painting.

Now that the most important things in Dongshi have been done, Liu Yu doesn't mind chatting for a while, mainly because he wants to see if he can get some information from this person.

The two of them chatted for about half a cup of tea around a picture of a "dragon crouching over the underworld".

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I wonder if Jiapinju sells foundation-building elixirs?"

"Or elixirs with special effects can also be used."

After half a cup of tea, Liu Yu saw that the heat was almost done, so he asked tentatively.

Seeing that they were about to talk about business, Qiu Zongxing's face straightened up, and he thought for a while before replying:

"I'm very sorry about this, Fellow Daoist Hong, but our store does not have any elixirs for sale."

"The importance of the elixir far exceeds that of ordinary magical weapons. It is like a hen that can continuously lay eggs. Many shops are willing to buy it at a high price."

"But most monks won't sell at all unless there are special circumstances."

"I have been the head of Jiapinju for fifty years, and I have only acquired one recipe for the elixir, and it is only used by monks in the Qi refining stage."

"Of course our family has the foundation-building pill recipe, but it is not in my hands, and it will never be sold to outsiders. The same is true for other shops."

As if to show his sincerity, Qiu Zongxing explained very carefully.

"It doesn't matter. Hong has a friend who is an alchemist. I just want to ask for him."

Liu Yu has asked many stores over the years, and they all got the same answer. At this time, he was already prepared to return disappointed, so he still explained with a smile.

"So, does Fellow Daoist Qiu have any news?"

"My close friend asked me to inquire about it. As long as I gain something, I will definitely give you a thank you gift."

Putting the tea cup aside, since he didn't get the news he wanted, Liu Yu had already made up his mind to leave, but before leaving, he had an idea and asked.

"this."

Qiu Zongxing looked embarrassed, but he seemed hesitant to say something.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, just say whatever you want. If Mr. Hong has gained something, I will definitely thank you."

Seeing this, Liu Yu's heart moved. He immediately took out fifty pieces of low-grade spiritual stones from his storage bag and placed them on the table, looking at the other party with burning eyes.

These spiritual stones seemed to dispel some of the worries in his heart, causing them to finally loosen up:

"Seven days later, there will be a secret exchange meeting between foundation-building monks in the west of Wangyue City. Many monks from casual cultivators, families, and even Yuanyang Sect will participate."

"If Fellow Daoist Hong wants to buy elixirs, you have the best chance of getting them through exchange meetings."

Qiu Zongxing had a mysterious look on his face and said that he had taken care of things here. He drank tea leisurely and waited for Liu Yu to take the initiative to ask.

"Oh? Where is the swap meet? What are the requirements to participate?"

"Can Fellow Daoist Qiu solve the admission problem?"

Liu Yu naturally couldn't slap him in the face at this time, so he asked cooperatively when he saw this.

Qiu Zongxing seemed to be very satisfied with this trick and continued to speak slowly:

"The location of the secret exchange meeting is in the west of the city."

"If you want to participate in this exchange meeting, not only must your cultivation level reach the minimum foundation-building stage, but you must also be introduced and guaranteed by a monk who has participated in the exchange meeting before you can enter."

"Fellow Daoist Hong, with your generous spending of one or two thousand spiritual stones, there is no problem with your financial resources, but it is not easy to deal with this guarantor?"

He looked at the fifty spiritual stones placed on the table and rubbed his index finger and thumb slightly, as if there was some mystery behind them.

Liu Yu didn't understand the meaning of this move. He was just using money to do things, and he didn't lack the spiritual stone.

Immediately, he took out two hundred spiritual stones from the storage bag, placed them generously on the table and said:

"How about this? Fellow Daoist Qiu, would you like to be Hong's guarantor?"

A total of two hundred spirit stones is a lot of benefits. A bottle of Jingyuan Dan used for the initial stage of foundation building only has four hundred and fifty spirit stones, which is equivalent to half a bottle of Jingyuan Dan.

And all he paid was to act as a guarantor for Liu Yu, so he wouldn't lose anything, it was all pure profit.

Qiu Zongxing clearly calculated the profit and loss. In addition, he found this "Hong Taoist friend" who was also interested in antiques, calligraphy and painting more agreeable, so he agreed without haggling.

Otherwise, according to the past situation, the price must be two hundred and twenty or thirty spiritual stones.

"Since Fellow Daoist Hong is so sincere, I agree to this matter."

"After seven days, Taoist friends, you can come to Jiapinju, and we will go together to hold the auction at that time."

Qiu Zongxing calmly put away the spirit stones on the table and finally made his promise.

"In that case, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Qiu."

"Hong has something important to do and can't stay for long, so I'll come back to visit you in seven days."

Seeing that the matter was done, Liu Yu stood up and gently cupped his hands.

"Fellow Daoist Hong, please go slowly without seeing me off. I'll see you in seven days."

Qiu Zongxing stood up and sent Liu Yu to the door with a smile on his face.

He was very satisfied with the two transactions in a short period of time because they both made a lot of money.

Liu Yu nodded slightly without saying anything, walked down the stairs and left Jiapinju.

Although the possibility of buying elixir prescriptions in stores is extremely small, it is not ruled out that a blind cat encounters a mouse.

After all the low-level immortal cultivation resources obtained from the Huang family were exchanged for spiritual stones, Liu Yu did not leave Dongshi, but continued to wander around the area, going in and out of shops from time to time, asking if there were foundation-building pills and body cultivation. Exercises for sale.

It's a pity that after four or five hours, nothing was found. Many shops immediately shut up when they heard about the foundation-building elixir prescriptions. They even refused to sell some elixir formulas that had no direct effect on cultivation but had some special effects.

Even if Liu Yu offered a high price, this would still be the case.

He currently has elixir formulas for each stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, but there is only one elixir formula for the later Foundation Establishment stage. With his qualifications and the loss of magic fire refining, just one elixir is definitely not enough.

Furthermore, if Liu Yu wants to continue to improve his alchemy skills, he also needs to refine as many different types of elixirs as possible, broaden his knowledge in the alchemy path, and increase his upper limit.

Nowadays, physical cultivation has long been in decline, and the techniques are not widely spread, and most of them are even incomplete to varying degrees.
