Chapter 150: Divergence
After Qin Ming received Aunt Long's message, he said goodbye to Wu Jiang and left Moon Gazing Island.
A short while later.
He rode his beloved Silver Wing Frost Bee and arrived at Heavenly River Market.
This time, he did not disguise himself to avoid attracting attention, after all, he was going to discuss matters with Aunt Long.
After Qin Ming passed the inspection and entered the Market, he followed the Main Street straight towards the Mirror Snow Pavilion.
The Rogue Cultivators coming and going on the Street, some recognized Qin Ming and were surprised, enthusiastically greeting him one after another.
"Senior Adept Qin! Congratulations!"
"Congratulations on being promoted to Second-Rank Upper-Grade Spirit Plant Master!"
"Island Lord Qin, you are truly the glory of our Spirit Qi Archipelago, a Second-Rank Upper-Grade Spirit Plant Master, the only one in the entire archipelago."
"Fellow Cultivator Qin is truly amazing! His name shakes Azure Sea Immortal City, it is said that even True Person Cang Hai personally received him."
"Ah? A Golden Core True Person received him? That's quite the honor!"
"Fellow Cultivator Qin, are you interested in publishing a Publication about Spirit Plant Cultivation?"
"Many Fellow Cultivators in our Spirit Qi Archipelago also want to learn and emulate..."
"Indeed, indeed, recently many Fellow Cultivators have changed careers and gone to farming..."
"..."
All kinds of flattering and congratulatory words poured into Qin Ming's ears.
Qin Ming responded with a smile while quickening his pace towards the Mirror Snow Pavilion.
He disliked this kind of public attention.
Especially the last suggestion of publishing a book, it really made him feel ashamed.
The journey that should have taken half a joss stick of time, was actually delayed for more than half an hour on the road.
Downstairs at the Mirror Snow Pavilion, the still charming Aunt Long had been waiting at the Store Entrance for a long time.
She enthusiastically welcomed Qin Ming Inside the Shop and brewed Spirit Tea for him.
"Hahaha, Fellow Cultivator Qin, your reputation has become quite prominent Within the Market these days!" Aunt Long said with a smile as she poured Tea for Fellow Cultivator Qin.
Qin Ming smiled wryly upon hearing this, "Ah, but these are just fleeting clouds."
"By the way, Aunt Long, is there any news about those two items you mentioned?"
Aunt Long nodded lightly upon hearing this, and said seriously, "That's right, according to our reliable sources, half a month later, the Seventy-Two Island Scattered Alliance and the Nie Family, newly supported by the Thunder Origin Sect, will hold a large Trade Fair at Thousand Leaf Spirit Island, lasting for seven days."
"And they have invited various Powers to come and participate."
"I heard that the list of Trade items at Thousand Leaf Spirit Island includes High-Tier Ape Demon Beast Essence Blood, and Third Rank Spirit Plant Spirit Seed, these two items."
Qin Ming took a sip of Spirit Tea, somewhat puzzled, "Why would the Scattered Alliance and the Nie Family jointly hold such a Trade Fair? And even sell High-Rank Spirit Seed of Rank 3 Spirit Plant."
Aunt Long seemed to have expected Qin Ming to ask this question, "Of course, it's because of the Unequal Distribution of Spoils."
"Since the Zhao Family of Thousand Leaf Spirit Island was destroyed, the Scattered Alliance and the Thunder Origin Sect were once deadlocked for a long time over the issue of distributing Resources."
"Although in the end, the Thunder Origin Sect took the lion's share and obtained the Ownership of Thousand Leaf Spirit Island, the Resources that the Scattered Alliance exchanged for were also considerable."
"As both sides delved deeper into the development of Thousand Leaf Spirit Island, they gradually discovered many Resources that the Zhao Family did not have time to take away, as well as various other Treasures."
"You must know that on Thousand Leaf Spirit Island, in addition to a Tier 3 Spirit Vein, even the Core Forming Spiritual Object 'Profound Yin Earthly Fiend Spirit Liquid' exists, and it can be produced regularly every hundred years."
"On the issue of allocating some Resources, the Scattered Alliance and the Nie Family once again had Divergence, and neither wanted to benefit the other, so they came up with the idea of a Trade Fair."
"The two sides split the Spirit Stone equally, and no one can say anything."
"But everyone knows in their hearts that the Scattered Alliance and the Nie Family can't reach an agreement at the table, and the Thunder Origin Sect doesn't want the stable situation to change again, so both sides can only compete covertly."
"At this Trade Fair, the Scattered Alliance and the Nie Family are probably also sending people to secretly bet."
"At the same time, the Seventy-Two Island Scattered Alliance invited other Island Powers of Spirit Qi Archipelago to participate, to exchange goods and restore Trade relations between the Islands after the war."
Qin Ming suddenly understood and nodded, "I see."
"Then there must be many Spirit Islands and Powers going to participate in this Grand Trade Fair?"
Aunt Long smiled slightly and said, "Those Family Clans that are too small are naturally not Qualified to receive invitations." "Those who can participate in this Fair are Spirit Islands that have joined the Scattered Alliance, as well as large Powers Within the Heavenly River Market."
"Our Mirror Snow Pavilion is on the invitation list."
"As Fellow Cultivator Qin is an Honorary Guest Elder of This Sect, you are naturally welcome to participate."
After Aunt Long finished speaking, she took out an Invitation Letter from Thousand Leaf Island and handed it to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming took the Invitation Letter, a smile appearing on his face, "Fellow Cultivator Long, thank you!"
"Fellow Cultivator Qin is a Honored Guest of This Sect with a noble status, this small matter is what I should do, you don't need to be polite."
"When the time comes, Fellow Cultivator Qin can depart with us, I will notify Fellow Cultivator Qin in advance."
After the conversation ended, Qin Ming had a meal at the Mirror Snow Pavilion, and then left the Shop.
He originally came out with great difficulty and wanted to stroll around the Market stalls, but thinking that he was in the limelight these two days, he should not Parade ostentatiously through the city.
"Keep a low profile, no matter how glorious the deeds are, they will fade away in time."
"Moreover, I haven't done anything earth-shattering."
Qin Ming then prepared to leave the Market and return to his Moon Gazing Island.
But just at this moment.
A beautiful figure wearing a black hat brushed past him.
Suddenly!
Qin Ming frowned, he felt that the Female Cultivator just now gave him a sense of familiarity.
Immediately, he released his Divine Sense and observed the other party.
The Female Cultivator's black hat was quite strange, it seemed to be a Magical Artifact that could isolate Divine Sense detection.
But in front of Qin Ming's powerful Divine Sense, it was just like a decoration.
Qin Ming increased the intensity of his Divine Sense and instantly broke through the hat's defense, seeing the delicate face inside.
And what surprised him greatly was that he had never seen the woman inside the black hat before.
'Uh, don't recognize her...'
'It was really presumptuous...'
The Female Cultivator also seemed to have noticed someone peeping at her, but when she turned her head and found it was a Great Foundation Establishment Cultivator, she looked panicked and hurriedly left here.
"Cough!" Qin Ming coughed lightly, his face not red and his heart not beating fast, pretending to be fine and left the Market.
...
Within the Heavenly River Market.
The black hat woman just now, circled around several times in the Alleyway, and after confirming that no one was following her, she once again made several turns and lightly and rhythmically knocked on the Wood Door of a closed Shop in the Alley.
The Wood Door opened, and then she slipped inside sideways.
"Why are you so late?" A slightly hoarse voice asked from the darkness.
The hat woman hesitated for a moment and explained softly, "I ran into an acquaintance at the Market entrance, and took a detour to be safe."
"Hmm?!"
"The other party didn't recognize you, did they?" The hoarse voice questioned coldly.
"No, I have a Spirit Tool on me that can Disguise."
"That's good."
"Did you get the things?"
"Yes, it's all here."
...
