Chapter 68 Small Trade Fair
In the following time, Bai Ziye studied the true meaning of puppets while refining the inverted five elements formation with Xin Ruyin.
A month later, Bai Ziye and Xin Ruyin went to Hong Fu's cave and selected a martial arts book for Xin Ruyin.
Afterwards, Bai Ziye invited a group of foundation-building cultivators from the Huangfeng Valley and held a small trade fair in the Huangfeng Valley.
Those invited by Bai Ziye were either disciples of various Jindan cultivators or veteran foundation-building cultivators from the Huangfeng Valley.
The former was born into a family of immortal cultivators and had no shortage of spirit stones, while the latter also had a considerable accumulation of spirit stones after years of accumulation.
As for opening a store, that is totally unnecessary.
If Huangfeng Valley can remain stable for a long time, it would be a good idea to open a store.
However, Tiannan will not have a peaceful life for many years, so there is no need to open a store at this time.
Bai Ziye was quite famous in Huangfeng Valley, so the trade fair he initiated was supported by most of the foundation-building cultivators in the valley.
For this small trade fair, Bai Ziye not only prepared several sets of inverted five elements formations, but also prepared several precious top-level magical weapons.
At that time, how much profit can be made will all depend on how much these foundation-building monks can come up with.
"My fellow brothers and sisters, this trade fair was proposed by Bai, so I will be the first to go. For this trade fair, I have specially prepared several top-level magic tools and several sets of inverted five elements formations. Everyone can use spirit stones or spirit objects of equal value to trade."
Bai Ziye stood in the council hall and waved his hand. The inverted Five Elements formation's plate, flags, and several top-level magical weapons began to float around him.
"What? Reversed Five Elements Formation!"
"Senior Brother Bai actually turned the 'Small Forbidden Array' into an instrument?"
"If I can buy a set of the Reversed Five Elements Formation, I can buy some time even if I encounter a Jindan cultivator!"
Upon hearing this, the many foundation-building cultivators present looked at the flag and plate of the inverted five elements formation with great excitement.
As for Bai Ziye's precious top-level magic weapons, although they are equally precious, they are still inferior to the Inverted Five Elements Formation.
"You guys are joking. This inverted five elements formation was not made by Bai, but by my Taoist partner."
Looking at the reactions of the many foundation-building monks in the meeting hall, Bai Ziye smiled.
He was planning to use this trade fair to reveal the Inverted Five Elements Formation. This way, after the trade fair was over, all those foundation-building cultivators in the Huangfeng Valley who had savings would come to him to order the Inverted Five Elements Formation.
On the side, Dong Xuan'er couldn't help but frowned when she heard that Bai Ziye already had a Taoist partner.
Although she had met Bai Ziye's Taoist partner Xin Ruyin before, she felt uncomfortable when she thought that the toy she had set her eyes on was snatched away by someone else.
There were several other female foundation-building cultivators who had similar ideas to Dong Xuaner.
After all, Bai Ziye is not only handsome and powerful, but also good at refining weapons. He is indeed the best choice for a Taoist partner.
Unexpectedly, before they could even make a move, they were captured by an unknown monk.
However, when they thought of Bai Ziye's Taoist partner, who was a rare master of formations, they could only give up the idea.
"Junior Brother Bai, I'll give you a thousand low-level spirit stones, plus a foundation-building pill recipe. Can I get a set of inverted five-element formation in exchange?"
Liu Jing in the meeting hall hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
Liu Jing was born into a family of immortal cultivators. His family had produced a Jindan cultivator, so the family had a rich heritage. He himself was the third disciple of Li Huayuan, a Jindan cultivator from Huangfeng Valley, so naturally he was wealthy.
The other foundation-building cultivators did not rush to make an offer. If there was only one set, the foundation-building cultivators present would definitely fight over it.
But Bai Ziye had said before that there were several sets of inverted five elements formations, so they had plenty of choices.
"Haha, since Senior Brother Liu has offered such a high price, then this first set of the Reversed Five Elements Formation will be Senior Brother Liu's."
Seeing that no other foundation-building cultivator offered a higher price, Bai Ziye also agreed to Liu Jing's deal.
After all, a recipe for a foundation-building pill is extremely precious in the Kingdom of Yue, and is also in short supply.
Liu Jing handed the spirit stone and a recipe for a pill called Peiyuan Pill to Bai Ziye.
After confirming the authenticity of the pill formula, Bai Ziye handed the formation flag, formation plate and a jade slip of the inverted five elements formation to Liu Jing.
Bai Ziye kept the recipe for Peiyuan Pill. With this recipe, Bai Ziye could do Han Li a favor.
Soon, Bai Ziye took out the second set of inverted five elements formation.
Unlike the first set of inverted five elements formation, this time there were many foundation-building cultivators who opened their mouths to bid.
After a fierce bidding, the second set of the inverted five elements formation was finally bought by a cultivator in the late foundation building stage for a piece of iron essence and a thousand spirit stones.
Bai Ziye was also very happy after trading for Tiejing.
You know, iron essence is the material used to refine magic weapons, and only the Jindan cultivators can extract it from the refined iron.
Generally speaking, after the iron essence is refined, it will be added to magic weapons to increase their power.
Bai Ziye was already very satisfied to have obtained a piece of iron essence.
However, the other party also felt that they had not lost out, after all, this was an inverted five elements formation!
With this inverted five elements formation, there is an extra trump card to save life. It can not only be used to defend the cave, but also give you a little more chance of survival when encountering a Jindan cultivator. How can the value contained in it be compared with a piece of iron essence?
Then, Bai Ziye took out a set of inverted five elements formation. As for his top-level magic weapons, he put them into his storage bag.
After all, in the current situation, the Inverted Five Elements Formation is much more popular than his top-level magic weapon.
As expected, the several sets of inverted five elements formations in Bai Ziye's hands were sold at a high price, in exchange for a lot of precious spiritual medicines and materials.
The spirit stones were just a by-product, but he still obtained more than ten thousand low-level spirit stones.
"These are top-level defensive magic weapons that Bai has refined. I put a lot of effort into them. If you are interested, you can make an offer."
After dealing with all the inverted five elements formation instruments in his hand, Bai Ziye took out the top-level magic weapons he had refined and put them up for sale.
The defensive magic weapon refined by Bai Ziye is also a great treasure for saving lives.
Not to mention other things, just the ability to automatically defend itself is much stronger than other defensive magic weapons.
Therefore, a cultivator soon made an offer. Bai Ziye turned around and saw that the other party was Liu Jing's junior fellow apprentice Song Meng.
Song Meng did not participate in the competition in the inverted five elements formation just now.
After all, although Song Meng also came from a family of immortal cultivators, the Song family he belonged to was not that rich in foundation.
Naturally, they cannot compete with the foundation-building cultivators from other families with rich foundation.
However, although he could not afford to bid for the Inverted Five Elements Formation, Song Meng could still afford a top-level magical weapon.
Soon, Song Meng proudly bought a defensive magic weapon.
There were quite a few foundation-building cultivators present, and the top-level magical weapons that Bai Ziye brought were of too many wolves and too little meat. Soon, they were all used up in the scramble among the many foundation-building cultivators.
After selling all the treasures he brought, Bai Ziye sat aside and asked the next foundation-building cultivator to come up and introduce his treasures.
The foundation-building cultivators who are able to participate in this small trade fair all have items they want to sell or buy.
Therefore, this small trade fair lasted for two days and one night before it ended.
However, after the trade fair ended, the crowd did not disperse.
"Brother Bai, I wonder if you can accept custom orders for your inverted five elements formation. I can pay you in advance with spirit stones."
Previously at the trade fair, the foundation-building cultivators who failed to win the bid for the Inverted Five Elements Formation gathered around Bai Ziye.
"Of course you can. If you want to order it, you can prepay 100 spirit stones. However, if you don't want it in the future, you can't return the spirit stones!"
When business came to him, Bai Ziye immediately smiled.
"Brother Bai, this is my spirit stone."
Hearing this, the foundation-building cultivator hurriedly paid the spirit stones in advance. Only a fool would not want to reverse the Five Elements Formation.
As for the one hundred spirit stones paid in advance, it is nothing for a foundation-building cultivator.
The foundation-building cultivators of the Huangfeng Valley could obtain two mid-level spirit stones every year even if they did nothing.
If you accept sect missions, you can earn more spirit stones.
Therefore, every foundation-building cultivator actually has some spirit stones in his hands.
After Bai Ziye took the spirit stone, he began to register names.
"Hehe, Junior Brother Bai, I also want to order a set of Reversed Five Elements Formation!"
At this time, Zhong Weiniang also stepped forward and smiled at Bai Ziye.
Because she did not have enough spirit stones, Zhong Weiniang had not snatched the spirit stones from other foundation-building cultivators who had more spirit stones.
However, since Bai Ziye still accepts reservations, that’s great!
The cultivators who had previously won the bid for the Inverted Five Elements Formation did not feel that they had suffered a loss. After all, if they started to place an order now, they didn't know when they would be able to get it.
Maybe they will encounter danger the next time they carry out a mission.
The world of cultivating immortals is like this, between danger and opportunity, no one knows which will come first.
Except for some cultivators who were really short of money and those who had bid for the Inverted Five Elements Formation, most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators present had reserved the Inverted Five Elements Formation from Bai Ziye.
Of course, Dong Xuaner was an exception. She had already bought a set of Inverted Five Elements Formation from Bai Ziye at half price.
After all, Dong Xuan'er is his junior sister after all, so he should give her a discount.
After the names of all the foundation-building cultivators present were registered and the delivery time was agreed upon, the trade fair was considered to have ended perfectly.
Bai Ziye calculated the resources he had obtained and converted them into spirit stones. After deducting the costs, he gave Hong Fu 30% of the spirit stones that she deserved.
At this trade fair, spiritual objects appeared. Most of them were very valuable to foundation-building cultivators, but were nothing to Jindan cultivators.
Therefore, Bai Ziye converted it into spirit stones.
