After the dust settled from the Spirit Feather Sect Medicine Garden being robbed.
Golden Cloud Valley and Spirit Feather Sect jointly issued a higher-level Bounty Order, offering a generous reward to any Cultivator who could provide information on the whereabouts of this group of Bandits.
It seems they won't rest until someone is dead.
...
A month later.
Qin Ming was in the Spirit Field, casting the Advanced Spirit Rain Technique to irrigate the Spirit Field.
The Message Talisman on his body vibrated.
"Fellow Cultivator Qin, the Small Exchange Meet we agreed upon earlier will be held tomorrow. Brothers Feng have returned from hunting Demonic Beasts."
"Fellow Cultivator can prepare some items to exchange and discuss at that time."
The message was sent by Pill Master Yan, his Next Door neighbor.
Qin Ming replied briefly, then began to think about what items to bring to the exchange meet tomorrow.
The next day.
Qin Ming went to the meeting as invited.
When he entered Pill Master Yan's Courtyard, the other Cultivators from several Courtyards were already present.
"Come, come, everyone, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Cultivator Qin Ming from the Next Door Courtyard, a Mid-Grade Spirit Plant Master." Entering the Courtyard, Pill Master Yan enthusiastically introduced Qin Ming to the Cultivators present.
Qin Ming greeted them one by one.
Brothers Feng both had a Cultivation of Qi Condensation Stage Eighth Level. The bald elder was called Feng Yuan, and the scarred strong man was called Feng Fan.
Because they were hunting Demonic Beasts year-round, they had a very strong Untamed Aura.
Their words and actions were very bold and unrestrained.
Fellow Cultivator Huang from Ding Type Courtyard, originally named Huang Xishan, was around forty years old.
Due to his constant work with furnaces, his skin was bronze-colored.
He had a Cultivation of Qi Condensation Stage Ninth Level and served as the Chief Weapon Refiner of the Treasure Crafting Hall Within the Market.
As a High-Grade Weapon Refiner, Huang Xishan was undoubtedly the main character of this gathering.
Several people around him constantly surrounded him, trying to build rapport.
After all, befriending such a Weapon Refining Grandmaster would be useful when they needed to customize Magical Artifacts. They would always need his help eventually.
"Well, to be honest with you Fellow Cultivators, my Weapon Refiner orders are booked until the end of next year."
"However, if any of you present Fellow Cultivators have special circumstances, I can expedite the crafting and give you a ten percent discount on the price." Huang Xishan sat on a rattan chair, his expression arrogant, adopting a rather high posture, and said indifferently.
As soon as these words came out, Brothers Feng immediately had the idea of asking him to refine Magical Artifacts.
After all, they often hunted Demonic Beasts year-round and must have a lot of Materials from Demonic Beasts that could be used for Weapon Refining.
Their attitude towards Huang Xishan became even more polite.
They called him Master Huang at every turn, appearing exceptionally amiable.
The last one, Fellow Cultivator Lin from Bing Type Courtyard, named Lin Zixiao, was imposing and handsome, about twenty years old, probably only four or five years older than Qin Ming.
He was a complete beauty, with cold features and long hair casually tied behind his head with a thin rope.
Even more rare, this person was a rare Mid-Grade Formation Master.
Lin Zixiao's personality was very easy-going, and he greeted everyone present with a smile.
The Cultivators sat on rattan chairs in the Courtyard, drinking tea and chatting.
Being in the Hundred Crafts of Cultivation, Qin Ming's identity as a Mid-Grade Spirit Plant Master was slightly inferior to the others present.
In addition, he was also a Spirit Farmer serving in the Spirit Feather Sect.
And, his Magical Power Cultivation was only Fifth Layer of Qi Condensation. The attitude of the others towards Qin Ming was lukewarm, neither deliberately trying to befriend him nor distancing themselves.
After chatting for an hour, the exchange meet officially began.
Pill Master Yan had a smile on his face and said with a grin, "Since I initiated this exchange meet, I will start first."
With that, he took out two bottles of Pills and introduced them, "These two bottles of Spirit Pills, one is called Immovable Snow Pill, a sacred medicine for healing. As long as the injury is not fatal, it can regrow flesh and blood from bones."
"The other bottle is a Spirit Pill to enhance the Mid Grade and Late Stage, the Spirit Gathering Pill."
"Fellow Cultivators, if you have enough Spirit Stones or items of equal value, you can exchange them."
Qin Ming looked at the Immovable Snow Pill with some curiosity. It was the first time he had seen this kind of healing Spirit Pill. This Pill was recorded in Pill books and was one of the most difficult Mid-Rank Pills to refine.
As for the Spirit Gathering Pill, it was only of Common Quality.
However, it was enough to prove that Pill Master Yan was quite accomplished in Alchemy Technique. After all, he could refine several of the most difficult Spirit Pills among Mid-Grade Spirit Pills.
Soon, the two bottles of Spirit Pills were purchased by Brothers Feng with Spirit Stones and added to their Storage Bag.
Next, it was Brothers Feng's turn to display exchange items.
The elder brother Feng Yuan took out a Demon Core and a pair of claws from his Storage Bag and placed them on the table, introducing them, "This is the Demon Core and claws of a Tier One Late Stage Demonic Beast, the Xuan Water Crocodile. My brothers and I spent a lot of effort to kill it. Fellow Cultivators, if you have anything good, you can also take it out and see. If you think it's suitable, you can take it away."
After he finished speaking, he watched everyone's reactions.
"I have a Mid-Grade Magic Artifact Demon Binding Cord here. If you two agree, we can exchange." Huang Xishan seemed very interested in these two items.
Feng Yuan and Feng Fan glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master Huang, can you add a bit more? After all, this is a Tier One Late Stage Demonic Beast Material, which can also be used to refine High-Grade Magic Tool."
"This is my bottom line." Huang Xishan said, then stopped talking, his face seeming a little displeased.
Hearing this, Brothers Feng looked slightly embarrassed.
At this time, Lin Zixiao took out a Formation set from his Storage Bag and said with a smile, "I have a Minor Separating Fire Formation set here, a Mid-Grade attack Formation. Can I exchange it for Fellow Cultivator Feng's two Spirit Materials?"
"It's actually the Minor Separating Fire Formation!" Brothers Feng looked overjoyed and nodded in agreement.
Even the face of High-Grade Weapon Refiner Huang Xishan changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Qin Ming also roughly understood the Minor Separating Fire Formation. It was said to be the most powerful attack Formation among all Mid-Grade Formations, and it was also a range-type attack with immense power.
To create this Formation, a Formation Master needed to possess extremely high Formation attainment.
"I didn't expect Fellow Cultivator Lin to even be able to refine the Minor Separating Fire Formation. Amazing!" Pill Master Yan gave him a thumbs up, exclaiming in admiration.
The Cultivators present also echoed, looking at Lin Zixiao with greater respect.
Lin Zixiao smiled and said modestly, "These are just trivial skills, not worth mentioning."
Brothers Feng happily took the Formation Plate of the Minor Separating Fire Formation from Lin Zixiao and completed the Trade with him.
The Cultivators were even more curious and expectant about what kind of exchange item Lin Zixiao would take out next.
After Lin Zixiao put away the Demonic Beast Materials.
He unhurriedly took out a palm-sized chessboard from his Storage Bag, which was filled with densely packed black and white chess pieces.
When this item appeared, everyone was a little confused.
Each of them showed a blank and puzzled expression.
Qin Ming also curiously observed the chessboard, pondered for a while, but indeed did not recognize it.
Among the crowd, only High-Grade Weapon Refiner Huang Xishan showed a look of deep thought.
After a long time.
His eyes suddenly widened, and he said a sentence in disbelief, "Could it be... could this be the Yin-Yang Inversion Illusion Formation that has been lost for a long time?!"
