Chapter 152 The trade fair opens
The huge Dharma boat in Jingxue Pavilion, like a great beast, slowly rose into the sky, then suddenly accelerated, turning into a stream of light and disappearing into the sky.
In the pavilion above the Dharma boat.
“I’ve met fellow Taoist Qin!”
“Hello, Guest Qin!”
In the luxuriously decorated private room, the top executives of the Jingxue Pavilion branch in Tianhefang City were all present.
“Fellow Daoist Qin! Let me introduce to you. This is Protector Li Muli of this pavilion. You may have never seen him before.” Aunt Long welcomed Daoist Qin into the room and began to introduce him.
A middle-aged monk with a square face in his forties stood up from his seat, saluted Qin Ming, and said hello: “Fellow Daoist Qin, I have long admired your name!”
Qin Ming returned the greeting politely, “Li Dao is friendly.”
He looked around the room. Among the monks from Jingxue Pavilion who went to Qianye Lingdao this time, Li Mu just now had the highest cultivation level, and he was in the middle stage of foundation building.
There are three other monks in the early stage of foundation building, including Aunt Long.
One person in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, plus three in the early stage of Foundation Establishment overhaul to escort the Dharma Ship, it can be considered a luxurious lineup.
After all, Qin Ming had just secretly observed the protector Li Mu. He had strong magical power and was definitely not an ordinary middle-stage foundation builder. His strength should not be weak.
Everyone exchanged pleasantries and began to sit down and drink tea to chat.
A few hours later.
The speed of the French ship gradually began to slow down.
Aunt Long stood by the window and looked out, and then said: “Qianye Ling Island has arrived, everyone should make preparations.”
When Qin Ming heard this, he also took a look and saw a huge spiritual island appearing under the Dharma Ship. It was dozens of times larger than his Wangyue Island. The island continued to grow in his field of vision.
Qianye Lingdao was originally baptized by the flames of war and became riddled with holes. However, after repairs and restoration during this period, it has almost returned to its original appearance.
Qin Ming walked to the deck outside and looked down at the entire island. The first thing that caught his eye was the towering Chiba Mountains.
Among them, the sea of clouds is billowing, and cranes and spiritual birds are constantly flying between the mountains, as if you are in a fairyland.
Outside the spirit island, there is a huge light curtain emitting cyan light, with runes flowing inside. It is obviously the third-order formation that was re-established on the island after the Nie family came to power.
The large formation reflects the clouds and mists in the distant sky, glowing with colorful rays of light.
Countless Dharma boats, large and small, kept passing by, in different shapes, with flags representing all forces on the masts fluttering in the wind.
Such a spectacular scene is like a fairy world, which is refreshing and refreshing.
After half a stick of incense, Jingxue Pavilion’s Dharma ship docked at the port of Qianye Lingdao.
“Fellow Daoist Qin, let’s go ahead. Protector Li and the others have to supervise the transportation of goods and other matters.” Aunt Long said with a slight smile.
Qin Ming nodded and followed Aunt Long off the Dharma boat.
A guard checkpoint was set up at the port entrance of Qianye Ling Island, and a long team of monks were queuing up to check the invitation letter and verify their identity before entering the island.
Aunt Long took Qin Ming to bypass these lines and enter through another entrance. There were only a few foundation-building monks guarding here, and there was no need to queue.
It’s just that the inspection here is more stringent. Not only is there a high-level formation to identify disguises, but there is also a spirit dog-like monster in the foundation-building stage that is constantly sniffing the scent of the monks who come here.
After Aunt Long showed the invitation letter from Jingxue Pavilion, an old foundation-building man among the guards of Qianye Lingdao hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically: “Hey! Fellow Taoist Dragon from Jingxue Pavilion is here. Please invite me quickly!”
After saying that, his eyes fell on Qin Ming next to him. A trace of astonishment flashed across the old man’s face at first, and then a look of surprise appeared, and he raised his hands to Qin Ming: “Island Master Qin is here too! What an honor. To!”
Qin Ming also handed over the invitation letter with a smile on his face: “Haha! I also heard that a grand event was held on Qianye Lingdao, so I came over to join in the fun when I had nothing to do.”
The old man who built the foundation personally led Qin Ming and the two of them into the island.
Along the way we came to an empty valley, where many large and small buildings were built, which should be the venue for this trade fair.
There is a huge square in the middle that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, with seats and stands.
The old man of the Nie family led them into a villa in the valley. This must be the temporary residence of Jingxue Pavilion in the next few days.
Later, the old man explained some precautions to them, especially explaining several forbidden areas on the island that were prohibited from entering.
Qin Ming and Aunt Long entered this villa arranged by the Nie family. It was lined with green plants, had unique ponds, rockery gardens, and a quiet environment.
From time to time, simple pavilions and exquisite stone and wood carvings come into view.
Outside the Villa is a row of shops open to the outside world, where goods can be traded.
“Fellow Daoist Qin, you can rest in the room for a moment or two, or you can go outside for a walk while I go check on the situation with the goods.” Aunt Long said to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming nodded, “Fellow Daoist Long, I’ll go and get busy first.”
After Aunt Long left, Qin Ming went out to observe the surrounding situation alone.
Everyone in Jingxue Pavilion also started to get busy, placing all the goods in the shops facing the street.
Half a day later.
In the valley of Qianye Lingdao, all the shops have begun to open to the public.
Qin Ming stood on the stone road outside, looking at the crowds of people and the rows of shops, and couldn’t help but sigh: “Sanmeng and the Nie family are really good at this. This is even more lively than the Qingyangfang City in the past.”
After all the Lingdao families, large and small, as well as all the invited forces settled in, the valley was filled with a sea of people, including merchants and guests.
“Oh! Come here and take a look! Take a look!”
“The blue water spirit fish, a specialty of Nightshade Island, is effective in increasing mana during the Qi training period. It tastes extremely delicious.”
“The talismans produced by Wanjia are on sale at a special price! The quality is guaranteed and no one will be deceived!”
“What? The Wan family is here too? Their talismans are famous far and wide. Give me two!”
“Xiaotuo Mountain Weapon Refining Workshop has all kinds of magical weapons. They are essential tools for home travel and self-defense!”
“……”
Qin Ming also walked around the valley and randomly bought some things that he liked.
The transactions between these spiritual islands gathered a lot of popularity for the following trade fair.
Early noon.
Aunt Long informed Qin Ming that the first day of Qianye Ling Island’s trade fair was about to begin.
Representatives of the major Lingdao families and forces have also arrived, taking their seats one by one around the central square.
Qin Ming also came to the Jingxue Pavilion and randomly picked a chair and sat down.
He looked around at the people present and found that there were many people with strong auras.
There were also a few familiar figures among them, including Huo Qianqiu and others from the Seventy-Two Islands Alliance, and Qin Ming looked at the mana aura on his body and found that he had already reached the late stage of foundation building.
