After Qin Ming received the news from Aunt Long, he said hello to Wu Jiang and left Wangyue Island.
A small moment later.
He rode his beloved Silver-Winged Frost Bee to Tianhefang City.
This time, he didn’t pretend to hide his identity. After all, he wanted to talk to Aunt Long about something.
After Qin Ming passed the interrogation and entered Fang City, he followed the main road and went straight to the direction of Jingxue Pavilion.
Some of the casual cultivators walking on the street recognized Qin Ming, were surprised, and greeted him warmly.
“Senior Qin! Congratulations!”
“Congratulations on being promoted to the second-level high-grade spiritual plant master!”
“Master Qin, you are truly the glory of our Lingqi Islands. The second-level high-grade spiritual planter is the only one in the entire archipelago.”
“Fellow Daoist Qin is really powerful! He is famous in Canghai Immortal City. It is said that even Master Canghai personally received him.”
“Ah? Are you being received by Master Jin Dan? That’s so impressive!”
“Do you, fellow Daoist Qin, be interested in publishing a book about spiritual plants?”
“Many of our colleagues in the Lingqi Islands also want to learn and follow suit.”
“It’s true, many of my colleagues have recently changed careers and gone to farming.”
“……”
All kinds of compliments and congratulations kept flowing in Qin Ming’s ears.
Qin Ming responded with a smile on his face and stepped up his pace to Jingxue Pavilion.
He didn’t like this kind of spectacle.
Especially the last one that wanted him to publish a book really made him ashamed.
The journey that was supposed to take half a cup of tea ended up being delayed for more than half an hour on the road.
Downstairs in Jingxue Pavilion, the still charming Aunt Long has been waiting at the door of the store for a long time.
After she warmly welcomed Qin Ming into the store, she made him spiritual tea.
“Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Qin has become very famous in the city during this period!” Aunt Long poured tea for Fellow Daoist Qin and said with a smile.
Qin Ming smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, “Oh, it’s just clouds.”
“By the way, do you have any clues about the two items Aunt Long mentioned?”
Aunt Long nodded slightly when she heard this and said seriously: “Yes, according to our reliable information, in half a month, the Nie family newly supported by the Seventy-Two Island Alliance and Lei Yuan Sect will be on Qianye Ling Island. A large-scale trade fair will be held for seven days.”
“And invited all forces to settle in.”
“I inquired and found out that the list of trading items on Qianye Ling Island includes the essence blood of high-level ape monsters and the third-level spiritual plant species.”
Qin Ming took a sip of the spiritual tea and said with some confusion: “Why do the Sanmeng and the Nie family jointly hold such a trade fair? And even the high-level spiritual seeds of the third-level spiritual plants have to be sold.”
Aunt Long seemed to have expected Qin Ming to ask this question, “Of course it’s because the spoils are unevenly divided.”
“Ever since the Zhao family of Qianye Ling Island was destroyed, the Sanmeng Alliance and the Lei Yuan Sect have been in a stalemate for a long time over the issue of resource allocation.”
“Although Lei Yuanzong took the majority in the end and obtained the ownership of Qianye Lingdao, the resources obtained by disbanding the alliance should not be underestimated.”
“As both parties deepened their development of Qianye Ling Island, they gradually discovered many resources and various other treasures that the Zhao family had not had time to take away.”
“You must know that on Qianye Spirit Island, in addition to the third-order spiritual veins, the connecting elixir spiritual substance ‘Xuanyin Earthly Evil Spirit Liquid’ exists, and it can be produced regularly every hundred years.”
“On some resource allocation issues, the San Alliance and the Nie family once again had differences. No one wanted to take advantage of the other, so they came up with the idea of a trade meeting.”
“Both parties split the spirit stones equally, and no one has anything to say.”
“But everyone is well aware that the disbanded alliance and the Nie family cannot reach an agreement on the table, and Lei Yuanzong does not want the stable situation to change again, so the two sides can only fight under the table.”
“At this trade fair, Sanmeng and the Nie family will probably send people to place bets secretly.”
“At the same time, the Seventy-Two Islands broke up the alliance and invited other island forces from the Lingqi Islands to participate. They share what they have in Qianye Lingdao. We also want to take this opportunity to restore trade between the islands after the war.”
Qin Ming suddenly realized, nodded and said: “That’s it.”
“Then there must be quite a few spiritual islands and forces going to participate in the trading conference this time, right?”
Aunt Long smiled slightly and said: “Those families that are too small are naturally not qualified to accept the invitation.”
“Our Jingxue Pavilion is on the invitation list.”
“As an honorary guest of this pavilion, Fellow Daoist Qin can naturally attend.”
After Aunt Long said this, she took out an invitation letter from Qianye Island and handed it to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming took the invitation with a smile on his face, “Fellow Daoist Long, thank you very much!”
“Fellow Daoist Qin is a distinguished guest of this pavilion. This little thing is what I should do. You don’t have to be polite.”
“When the time comes, fellow Taoist Qin Ming will just set out with us. I will notify fellow Taoist Qin in advance.”
After the conversation ended, Qin Ming had a meal in Jingxue Pavilion and then left the shop.
He had finally come out once and wanted to visit the market stalls, but when he thought about how popular he was in the past two days, he decided not to show off in the market.
“Low-key, low-key and glorious deeds will also fade in time.”
“What’s more, I didn’t do anything earth-shattering.”
Qin Ming immediately prepared to leave Fangshi and return to his own Wangyue Island.
But at this moment.
A beautiful figure wearing a black hat passed him by.
Suddenly!
Qin Ming frowned. He felt that the female cultivator just now had a sense of déjà vu.
Then he released his spiritual thoughts and observed the other party.
The black bamboo hat worn by the female cultivator was rather strange. It seemed to be a magic weapon that could block the detection of spiritual consciousness.
But in front of Qin Ming’s powerful spiritual thoughts, it was just like a decoration.
Qin Ming increased the intensity of his spiritual thoughts, and instantly broke through the protection of the bamboo hat, and saw the delicate face inside.
What surprised him was that he had never seen the woman inside the black hat.
‘Uh, why don’t you recognize me?’
‘It’s really presumptuous.’
The female cultivator seemed to have discovered that someone was spying on her, but when she turned around and found out that it was the foundation-building cultivator, she looked panicked and hurriedly left the place.
“Cough!” Qin Ming coughed lightly, his face not red, his heart not beating, and he left Fangshi pretending to be fine.
……
In Tianhefang City.
The woman in the black hat just walked around the alley several times to make sure that no one was following her.
She turned around again and gently and rhythmically knocked on the door of a closed shop in the alley.
The wooden door opened, and then she got in sideways.
“Why are you here now?” a slightly hoarse voice asked in the darkness.
The woman in the bamboo hat hesitated for a moment and explained softly: “I met an acquaintance when I entered the gate of Fangshi, so I took a detour just to be on the safe side.”
“Um?!”
“The other party didn’t recognize you, did they?” the hoarse voice asked coldly.
“No, I have a spiritual weapon that can disguise myself.”
“That’s good.”
“Did you get the stuff?”
“Well, it’s all here.”
