Chapter 177 Nanlonghou, Exchange Meeting
A month or two before the first Tiannan trade fair was held, the Nine-Nation Alliance, as the host, began to remove most of the restrictions on the city's famous protective formation, the "Shangyuan Mie Guang Formation".
At this time, some monks from far away had already arrived in the city, and some impatient monks had even set up stalls in some of the city's markets. Other monks also came forward to ask for prices and trade.
After all, on the days when the trade fair was officially held, although there were many treasures and all kinds of rare materials emerged in an endless stream, they were definitely not something ordinary monks could afford.
If you really want to buy some rarer suitable materials, you should look for them earlier and buy them.
Tiantian City, which was a bit deserted, soon became bustling with people, as lively as an ordinary city in the world.
Since he brought the girls out to play, Li Mufeng naturally took them around Tiantian City.
However, Tiantian City is so small that there is not much to see. After a tour, Li Mufeng let the girls go around and play on their own.
Xin Ruyin and Xiaomei are originally from Tiannan and have no interest in these things.
Zi Ling and Mei Ning, two outsiders from the Chaos Star Sea, were very interested. Although they had been in Tiannan for a long time, they had been in seclusion and practicing hard, and had few opportunities to wander around, so they asked Mu Peiling to take them around to have a look.
From time to time, I would also participate in exchange meetings to have fun.
The three women were extremely beautiful and generous, which attracted many monks with ulterior motives.
Li Mufeng naturally considered this problem, so someone went to solve these problems.
In addition to Old Monster Tianhen, Li Mufeng, and the girls, there were naturally many other people who came with them. They came specifically to help Li Mufeng collect elixirs.
The Nine-Nation Alliance held the largest trade fair. Although the items there were very good, there were almost nothing that Li Mufeng could use.
In addition to this exchange fair, there are also exchange fairs organized by some monks themselves.
The person in charge of this event is Jiang Kui.
Jiang Kui and Li Mufeng's father have both successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. Now Gongyang Jingshan and eleven others are in the stage of preparing to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
Relying on a large amount of Thunder Pattern Grass, Jiang Kui condensed three Thunder Patterns into six Thunder Patterns and successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
The attic where Li Mufeng lives.
"Brother Feng." Han Li came to him as soon as he arrived in Tiantian City.
"Tianhen, please go to Yanyue Sect with my brother Han and help him get the person out. I have already informed Huayi Sect."
Li Mufeng said to the old monster Tianhen.
"Thank you, Brother Feng." Han Li said gratefully.
"You're welcome. Go ahead. The sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back." Li Mufeng waved his hand. Knowing that Han Li didn't want to waste any more time talking to him, he just went straight to the point.
Shortly after Han Li turned and left, the voice of Lord Dayan sounded in Li Mufeng's mind.
"This kid also practiced my Great Evolution Technique?"
"Hey? Aren't you in a deep sleep? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to hold on until then if you wake up now?" Li Mufeng said lightly when he heard the voice of Lord Dayan.
"Hey, my spiritual sense is even stronger than yours. Since you came to Tiantian City, I have naturally heard a lot of interesting news. I have probably guessed what the stage is. Naturally, you don't have to worry about anything."
Lord Dayan smiled cunningly.
It has to be said that Lord Dayan is a genius. The Dayan Jue he created is a rare secret technique even for the Divine Transformation cultivators.
As he had already completed the seventh level of the Dayan Jue, Li Mufeng guessed that when he was alive, his consciousness at the late Nascent Soul stage plus the enhancement of the Dayan Jue should have surpassed that of a cultivator at the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation stage.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to easily defeat those cultivators who were also in the late Nascent Soul stage.
However, his Dayan Jue was no longer effective when he reached the Lianxu Stage.
After all, no matter how talented Dayan Divine Lord is, his cultivation has limited his horizons. Even a genius like him cannot imagine what it feels like to combine the five elements into one in the Refining Void Stage.
"Now that you know, just wait patiently." Li Mufeng said lightly.
"Actually, I am very curious. Before this, how did you know that the Mulan people would invade Tiannan?" asked Dayan God Lord puzzledly.
"Who do you think told Wei Wuya the news he knew?" Li Mufeng smiled slightly.
"It seems that someone is outside paying a visit to you. He is a young fellow with pretty good spiritual awareness. I don't have much soul power left. Call me when the time comes." After leaving these words in Li Mufeng's mind, Lord Dayan fell silent again.
After a while, someone came to report that Nanlong Hou, one of the four scattered cultivators in southern Tian, came to pay a visit to the president of the Loose Cultivators' Union.
Among the four great independent cultivators in Tiannan, three of them have joined the Independent Cultivators' Union.
Only the Marquis of Nanlong has always been very close to the Tianji Sect of the Righteous Alliance, and has a wide range of friends, even with the demonic cultivators.
So when he was invited to join the Loose Cultivators Guild, he directly refused.
Now, they probably heard from other people that Tianhen Old Monster, Bai Wen, and Zi Ri Sanren had all received considerable benefits from the Loose Cultivators' Union, so they came to us.
Old Monster Tianhen advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage and became the fourth great cultivator in Tiannan. A cold dragon spirit beast appeared by Bai Wen's side.
"Tell him that I'm in seclusion and practicing hard, and I don't have time to see anyone." Li Mufeng waved his hand.
"Yes!"
When Nanlong Hou outside heard the news, his face was full of indignation, but there was nothing he could do.
How did he know that the strength of the Loose Cultivators' Union was so terrifying?
At first, he thought he was being approached by a mysterious organization of independent cultivators.
Although he was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, his life span was almost over after practicing so much. He had no time to care about these mundane matters. He refused directly and did not even take the other party's conditions seriously.
It’s really too late to regret now!
The old monster Tianhen advanced directly to the Nascent Soul stage, and the woman Bai Wen also obtained a cold dragon, which was of great benefit to her cultivation, so it is not impossible for her to advance in the future.
Although no one knew what Zi Ri that guy got, all of them were old foxes among the scattered cultivators in Tiannan. They were the kind of people who would not release their eagles until they saw the rabbit. They must have gotten what they wanted.
After hearing what the man said, Nanlong Hou knew that it was just an excuse.
After sighing, he could only leave a message to the man and visit again another day.
In fact, he could also join the Free Cultivators Guild later, but there would be no favorable conditions for those who came on their own initiative.
In addition, the guild of free cultivators ignored him afterwards, and he was also a person who cared about his reputation, so he couldn't bring himself to go to their house and propose conditions.
Now that he had heard that the founder of the Loose Cultivators' Union was in Tiantian City, he came to visit on his own initiative, hoping that Li Mufeng would take the initiative to ask to retain him.
But I didn't expect the other party to refuse me so much, and even refused to meet me.
But think about it, the other party has the strength to do so. Xuanjizi Lu Weiying of Tianji Sect is his good friend. Naturally, he has also heard from him that the four major forces are unable to do anything to the Loose Cultivators' Union.
Now the union of independent cultivators will not make much difference if he is added or removed.
After being rejected, I had to leave in disgrace.
Fortunately, Nanlong Hou had another plan before coming here. It is better to rely on yourself than on others. In this world, only yourself is the most reliable!
Nanlong Hou then began to pay attention to those independent cultivators with powerful spiritual awareness.
On the Yanyue Sect's side, after learning that Han Li had brought the great cultivator Tianhen with him, Nangong Wan began to look at him with new eyes.
Now that old monster Tianhen has come in person, it is no longer a question of whether to remove the ban or not, but whether to release the person or not.
The cold female cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage of the Zhou family had to send her out with a smile.
It can be said that Han Li earned enough face in front of Nangong Wan during this trip.
The Zhou family's female Yuanying could only smile and agree, "Junior sister has really found a good home."
In the world of immortal cultivation, the strong prey on the weak. Not to mention that Han Li personally brought a great cultivator with him, she didn't even dare to care about the younger generation of the Zhou family. What if he ruined the business of the Loose Cultivators' Union? Not only could she and the Yanyue Sect not afford to offend him, but she could not afford to offend the entire Six Sects of the Yue Kingdom and the entire Nine Kingdoms Alliance.
After returning safely from Beiliang Kingdom to Yu Kingdom, Han Li brought Nangong Wan to personally thank Li Mufeng. Afterwards, he happened to meet Elder Lu who came from Luoyun Sect. Seeing that Han Li actually brought another Yuanying-level Taoist companion, Elder Lu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Nangong Wan naturally also registered as a guest elder in the Loose Cultivators' Union, but Han Li still planned to take her to Luoyun Sect.
After all, everything in the Casual Cultivators' Union is still under construction, and the Spirit Eye Tree has not yet matured. Naturally, the Yunmeng Mountain, the holy spiritual vein, is better.
As for the relationship between Han Li and the Loose Cultivators' Union, Elder Cheng and Elder Lu of the Luoyun Sect already knew about it and did not care.
They had no right to interfere with Han Li, and even because of their cooperation with the Loose Cultivators' Guild for monster materials, they were actually guest elders of the Loose Cultivators' Guild, but their level was not as high as Han Li's.
Following Elder Lu, Han Li met the Fire Dragon Boy from the Ancient Sword Sect again. Seeing that the Luoyun Sect had gained another Nascent Soul cultivator, the Fire Dragon Boy thought to himself, "The Luoyun Sect has really found a treasure this time, with two more Nascent Soul cultivators all of a sudden." After greeting each other and getting to know each other, they attended a small Nascent Soul exchange meeting hosted by True Man Tianjing together.
The location is Jinglong Pavilion opened by the other party.
This real person Tianjing has a wide range of friends, and he has acquaintances from both the righteous and evil sides as well as from the Tiandao League and the Tiandao Alliance.
The exchange meeting he organized this time should be the largest among the Nine-Nation Alliance.
However, this time not all the people have arrived yet, there are not that many people, so the meeting will be continued later.
The Fire Dragon Boy and Elder Lu are old acquaintances of each other.
After giving the four people four Wu Ling masks, Master Tianjing took them to the second floor of the attic.
The second floor was brightly lit. The roof and surrounding walls were inlaid with fist-sized moonstones, there were hundreds of them, illuminating the place like daylight.
The second floor looks to be several times larger than the first floor.
In a small attic, more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators gathered at the same time.
Among the Nascent Soul cultivators present, besides the Fire Dragon Boy who was not wearing a mask, there was also an extremely fat man.
This man's waist was almost three or four times as thick as a normal person's. Sitting there, even the wooden chair under him was deformed and bent.
However, this man didn't seem to care at all. When he saw Han Li looking at him, he even smiled at Han Li. But there was too much fat on his face, so it was hard to appreciate his kindness.
Next to the fat man sat a plump and curvy female cultivator. Although she was wearing a mask and her pretty face could not be seen, the pair of watery and charming eyes through the mask were very alluring as she looked back and forth.
After Lu Luo's reminder, Han Li also knew that these two people were the Fat and Beautiful Demons from the Hehuan Sect.
The two of them joined forces through the secret art of dual cultivation and were even able to compete with a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. They were extremely formidable.
It had not been long since Nangong Wan advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and she was later placed under house arrest in the Yanyue Sect, so this was her first time attending such an exchange meeting and seeing so many Nascent Soul cultivators.
In addition to the eye-catching person without a mask, there was also a Jindan cultivator who was calm and composed at the scene.
However, the uniform of the other party's free cultivators' union was very obvious.
After hearing that Li Mufeng was going to collect materials, the Nine-Nation Alliance specifically informed the organizer, Tianjing Zhenren. Tianjing Zhenren did not dare to disobey and could only bring people over.
It can be said that Li Mufeng’s people are present in all the larger-scale exchange meetings in Tiantian City.
This is the benefit of having power!
"It's almost time. All the fellow Taoists who are supposed to come have already arrived. If fellow Taoists have no objections, let's start the exchange meeting."
When Master Tianjing saw that most people had arrived, he began to speak.
"Master Tianjing is too polite. However, I am indeed impatient. How about you start with me first?" A monk in brocade robes who was sitting next to Master Tianjing said with a faint smile.
"Fellow Daoist Ximen, I'm afraid it won't work this time." Taoist Tianjing smiled helplessly, looked at the Jindan cultivator on the side, and then explained in a voice transmission.
After hearing this, the monk in brocade robe also sat down obediently.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, please start." Zhenren Tianjing looked at the man who had formed the golden core and nodded.
"I am the internal deacon of the Loose Cultivators' Union. I am Qiu Tong, greeting all the seniors. This time I am here to collect materials on behalf of the president of the Loose Cultivators' Union." Qiu Tong, who was in the late Jindan stage, stood up and saluted to the Yuanying present.
Although he came here on behalf of the Loose Cultivators Guild, his cultivation level was somewhat low after all, so he still had to observe proper etiquette, as this represented the face of the Loose Cultivators Guild.
"Whoever of you seniors has any of these materials in his hand can send a message to me, and they can be exchanged for ninth-level demon pills or ninth-level demon beast materials." Qiu Tong took out several jade slips and distributed them to the people present.
When the monks present heard such a loud tone, they looked at each other.
This guild of independent cultivators is worthy of being the force that occupies the ancient teleportation array, as they can even produce ninth-level demon pills.
But soon, everyone was shocked when they saw what was needed.
"hiss--"
"This Loose Cultivator Association has a really big appetite! They actually want something as amazing as this!"
Zhenren Tianjing looked at the things in the jade slip and couldn't help but shook his head. The jade slip contained almost all things that Tiannan hadn't heard of for thousands of years.
Those who had read the jade slip all shook their heads.
When Han Li saw the strange object in the jade slip, he widened his eyes in disbelief.
To be honest, the Gengjin he needs now can only be regarded as ordinary material among these!
"Han Li, do you know what Li Mufeng is going to do? The materials involved are too incredible." Nangong Wan also shook her head after reading it and asked in a voice transmission.
"I don't know. He has always been very mysterious." Han Li replied.
After seeing that no one sent a message, Qiu Tong did not have any other expression. He took back the jade slip, took out some new jade slips, and distributed them.
"Similarly, you can exchange it for an eighth-level demon pill, or an eighth-level demon beast material."
After a while, still no one sent a message.
Qiu Tong took it back and took out some jade slips.
"You can exchange it for level 7 monster materials and monster pills!"
This time, after the cultivators present saw the jade slip, their expressions finally changed a little, and some of them became somewhat interested.
Because most of them are spiritual medicines, and of course they are extremely precious.
Part of the exchange this time was collected to help Li Mufeng, but most of it was collected collectively by the Loose Cultivators' Union to increase the foundation.
It is impossible for the free cultivators to rely on Li Mufeng or Han Li forever to ripen the elixirs.
The monk in brocade robes was the first one who couldn't help himself. He took out a three thousand year old red essence ganoderma and exchanged it for a seventh level earth attribute demon pill.
The Fire Dragon Boy beside Han Li looked regretful when he saw the Red Jingzhi.
The technique he was practicing was genuine fire-attributed, and this Fire Essence Ganoderma was very suitable for him.
After that, no more monks wanted to exchange. Qiu Tong waited for a while and then got up to say goodbye.
After Qiu Tong left, the atmosphere of the exchange became heated, and Han Li also began to inquire about Geng Jin's news.
During this period, he also had a secret meeting with Tianjing Zhenren Yuehao again.
After the exchange meeting was over, Han Li accompanied Nangong Wan to visit the market while he was also asking about the information on talisman-making materials.
After getting a Soul-Transforming Talisman from Li Mufeng, Han Li was once again amazed at the art of talisman making.
However, talisman masters who have reached the Nascent Soul level are quite rare.
Most of them are old monsters who have reached the Nascent Soul stage and practiced the art of talisman making. They are not specialized talisman makers.
The talisman-making techniques of these Nascent Soul cultivators vary greatly, and they basically specialize in practicing one or two high-level talismans that are useful to them.
However, due to the scarcity of high-level spirit beast skins and high-level beast blood, it is naturally impossible to practice too much, so the success rate can be imagined.
The five elements spell talismans among the high-level talismans are nothing special. The power of most high-level spells is not as strong as that used by magic weapons.
As a result, once a cultivator has formed his elixir, he will basically give up practicing the Five Elements magic.
However, this does not mean that advanced spells are completely useless.
As far as Han Li knew, there were many kinds of powerful Five Elements spells that, once cast, even Nascent Soul cultivators would not dare to withstand their power.
However, not only are these spells difficult to practice, even if you have mastered them, they are still very cumbersome and troublesome to perform.
If you have this much time, you might as well just attack with magic weapons.
The Mulan people on the Mulan grassland are famous for their skills in magic. It is said that they have also modified many of the magic spells and called them spiritual arts.
Just when Han Li was strolling with Nangong Wan, a cultivator named Nanlong Hou came up to them and asked them to visit a treasure left by Master Cangkun.
At this time, several others also arrived at Tiantian City secretly.
Master Zhiyang from the Righteous Path Alliance, the old demon Hehuan from the Evil Path Alliance, and Long Han and Feng Bing from the Heavenly Path Alliance.
