My Optimized Immortal Life

This is the case with exchange meetings for casual cultivators. Unless the participants are at a higher level, there will always be people and things that appear to make up the numbers.

However, Chen Qing had no objection. He came here only for elixirs and some things that might be useful to him. As for other things that might lead to ineffective communication, Chen Qing felt that he had to avoid them.

He didn't want to be forced to fight back after someone killed him and stole his treasures at the exchange meeting.

Although it would be easy to kill a few Qi-refining cultivators with his reserves of talismans, Chen Qing still didn't want to waste resources.

Maybe the things in the storage bags of those casual cultivators are not as valuable as the talismans he distributed.

This is not because Chen Qing looks down on independent cultivators, but it is the truth.

Those wandering cultivators have gone out to kill people and steal treasures. How can we expect them to have a large amount of spirit stones on them?

After getting to know those wandering cultivators, Chen Qing and Qingsong Sanren walked into the main hall under the guidance of Changhong.

The layout of the main hall was different from what Chen Qing had expected. It was not a large hall like a court, but a lobby surrounded by many seats. There was also a high platform surrounded by these seats, which was used to auction some higher-value items.

However, some of the seats had already been occupied by people. These were monks who had arrived early to exchange items for the auction held at the meeting.

After arriving here, Changhong said to Chen Qing and Qingsong Sanren.

"My two Daoists, please find a place to sit here first. I have to go and discuss the auction with Daoists Zihua and Guanyun first."

"fine."

The two of them agreed casually and then found a seat to sit down.

Changhong walked past many seats and went to the back of the main hall, where he began to discuss the details of the exchange meeting with the other two monks from Wugu.

Chen Qing watched Changhong leave, but what he was thinking about were the other two fellow Taoists who were related to Changhong.

Zihua and Guanyun.

He had not met these two people yet, but he had learned the general situation from Qing Songsan's people.

Zihua is a cultivator from a foundation-building sect, but his sect was tragically wiped out after he was away for a while. If he and Xu Lingxin knew each other, they would probably have a lot to talk about, but Chen Qing was just thinking about it.

In addition, Zihua's cultivation seems to be higher than Changhong's. According to Qingsong Sanren, Zihua was originally a foundation-building seed in the sect, and his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

If the sect had not suddenly encountered a disaster, perhaps he could have really become a foundation-building cultivator.

As for now, everyone else has come to Wugu to live in seclusion, and probably doesn't have much hope of building a foundation.

However, even so, Zihua is still a huge threat to Chen Qing. After all, he is a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, only one step away from the Great Perfection. He is also from a sect. Both his methods and cultivation are superior to Chen Qing. He is someone Chen Qing should try not to provoke at the moment.

As for Guanyun, he is quite mysterious. Chen Qing didn't learn much information about Guanyun from Qingsong San people.

All he knew was that the other party was one of the cultivators who was in charge of the Fog Valley together with Changhong and Zihua. He hadn't found out anything about his cultivation level, age, etc. Therefore, Chen Qing was extremely alert to this person. This kind of old silver coin who likes to hide must be guarded against, otherwise you never know when he will give you a big surprise.

There is also Changhong, who is a native cultivator of Luo Yun Mansion. He was originally just a scholar who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. He accidentally fell into an ancient cave and obtained the cultivation techniques and several magical instruments. From then on, he rose rapidly in Luo Yun Mansion.

Of course, outside of Luo Yun Mansion, he is still trash.

After going over the information of the three people in his mind, Chen Qing suddenly felt a little bored and couldn't help chatting with Qingsong Sanren.

"Fellow Daoist Qingsong, what are you planning to exchange for this time?"

When Qingsong Sanren heard what Chen Qing said, he immediately smiled bitterly.

"Isn't it just buying a few bottles of cultivation pills for the disciples in the temple to improve their cultivation a little bit?"

"Oh, then what are you going to exchange for the elixir?"

Chen Qing asked with a little curiosity.

Qingsong Sanren glanced at Chen Qing, then spoke slowly.

"It's okay to tell you this. It's not really a secret anyway."

Qingsong Sanren pondered for a moment and continued.

"In my early years, I once obtained a fragmentary inheritance of formation techniques. In addition to recording some basic knowledge of formation techniques, it also contained some methods for making formation plates."

"So, the thing used for exchange is naturally the formation plate."

As he spoke, Qingsong Sanren took out several formation plates from his storage bag and waved them in front of Chen Qing.

With Chen Qing's attainments in formation, he could naturally see that the formation plates that Qingsong Sanren took out were all formation plates that had not yet been engraved with formation patterns.

This kind of array plate requires special materials and methods to manufacture. Although Chen Qing has a detailed explanation of the array, it only introduces some types and functions of the array, and does not include the manufacturing method of the array plate.

So, Qingsong Sanren can indeed use this thing to exchange for pills, although he may not get much.

"This formation plate of yours is indeed quite good. I think it can be exchanged for several bottles of medicinal pills."

Since Qingsong Sanren has something to exchange, Chen Qing also has to consider what to exchange.

Talismans definitely won't work. Putting aside whether Chen Qing has enough for himself, since he took out the talismans, it means that he has more on him. In this kind of gathering of casual cultivators, this behavior is undoubtedly equivalent to exposing one's own means.

Some magical weapons can be taken out, but not too many. Although Chen Qing has revealed his own weapon-refining skills, if the weapon-refining is not based on decades of experience, the success rate and the quality of the finished product will be questionable. Even if Chen Qing really takes them out, these independent cultivators must have the financial resources to get them, otherwise some self-righteous guys will probably target him.

Therefore, Chen Qing felt that at this exchange meeting, it would be enough for him to take out three or four low-grade magic weapons.

Of course, since his identity as a weapon refiner has been exposed, he must exchange some weapon refining materials. Chen Qing also wants to do this. Anyway, his attainments in talisman making have reached the pinnacle of the first level. Unless he gets the second-level talisman inheritance, he will not be able to break through this major stage. So it is better to deepen his attainments in weapon refining.

In this way, he decided on his next move at the exchange meeting. Without revealing too much about himself, he would buy some pills to share some of the pressure of cultivation resources in the next few years.

Of course, Chen Qing still had some expectations for this exchange meeting. After all, with the presence of Changhong, Zihua, Guanyun and other late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, there would probably be some good things.
