Hou Qingdan came out of seclusion in high spirits.
The new spiritual core is suspended above the sea of fa. Although the year is short, it is not without counterattacks against other martial saints.
Linshan Town has been built and can accommodate 50,000 people.
"People at the event have nothing to worry about, but they are worried about something going wrong." Xue Tong said.
"Don't be afraid of small things, lest big things happen. However, if something big happens, you must have planned it in advance. Xiashan will be able to handle it or not." Hou Qingdan thought clearly and thoroughly.
"The grand event lasts for one month. Xueyuan City, Da'ai Mountain, and Miao Gao Mountain take turns to participate in the event. Half of the people from Xia Mountain descend from the mountain. Elder Chang is responsible for the organization, Elder Qiu is responsible for the security. If you need supplies and personnel, please report to me as soon as possible." Hou Qingdan said.
…
Hou Qingdan left Xue Tong alone.
"I haven't seen you for ten years. Your cultivation has improved again, and your spiritual pet has become a heavenly being." Hou Qingdan's tone was gentle, without any pretensions of a sect leader or a martial saint.
"Sect Master, thank you for the award," Xue Tong said.
"From now on, when you and I are together, we don't need to address each other as Hou Sheng or Sect Master. Just call me Qing Gu."
"Qing Gu?" Xue Tong was slightly surprised, but this title was not as close as Qing Dan or the like, so it was difficult to object.
"There are many people coming to the grand event. The trading of spiritual objects and gossip are the top priority. I will leave this matter to you."
Hou Qingdan changed the topic and gave a post, "With the post, go to the Palace of Treasures to collect the required spiritual objects. In the daily trading and exchange meeting, you will appear on my behalf."
The importance of the matter is self-evident, and Xue Tong was flattered, "Qing Gu has entrusted me with your trust, and Xue will do my best!"
What Hou Qingdan said is true. The Xiashan Sect has no shortage of ordinary spiritual objects. If there are special spiritual objects and news, such as supernatural beasts or some strange techniques.
Xue Tong's warehouse was counting the spiritual items. There were not many items in the Xiashan Sect's warehouse, and the elixirs, materials and beast corpses were barely enough.
Yan Sihai, Zhuge Jing, and Zeng Gu followed Xue Tong, arranged the schedule for the exchange fair, and collected the spiritual objects that the Xiashan clan wanted to sell and exchange. They were busy for three months.
As the grand event approaches, low-level monks are the first to arrive, and more than 10,000 people are pouring into Linshan Town.
The spontaneous trade fair had already begun, and countless stalls were set up. Xue Tong noticed that many people were buying and selling a type of thing called spiritual insects, which were colorful or dark, red, dark green, and a single solid color. Most of them were highly poisonous.
It's a pity that the levels are not high.
The venue hosted by the Xiashan Sect opened, with two courtyards, respectively for the master heavenly being and the innate or lower-level monks.
Xue Tong and Yan Sihai were in the high-level market, and Zhuge Jing and others were responsible for guarding the trading market of Xiantian and below.
Nothing happened for several days.
Those who came were all from the Xiashan Sect's territory, so nothing could happen.
Late August.
Finally, there is the figure of the monk from the outside world.
Zhuge Jing came suddenly and said, "Elder Xue, I have received news that a Xiantian monk in the place asked for a meeting mysteriously and told him that traces of strange beasts had been seen somewhere in the Cambrian Mountains."
"Oh" Xue Tong's eyes shone, "Do you think he is telling the truth? Has he told anyone else?"
"I'm just talking to the Taoist priest. I don't think this person is talking nonsense."
"Bring him to see me!" Xue Tong said.
…
There were three people in the hut, and Hu was quite nervous.
"This junior monk from the Cambrian Mountains is not from the territory of your noble sect. The mountainous area is vast, and there are many areas that have not been explored in detail. This junior got an opportunity and learned about the existence of strange beasts."
"Three million spiritual stones are for sale for this information. If you want to buy it, buy it. I don't want this junior to find someone else."
"Three million is not expensive. You need to explain first how the news came about." Xue Tong said.
The martial artist surnamed Hu explained the whole story. He was hunting in a certain place more than half a year ago, and while chatting with people in a tavern, he learned that the dark spirits in the mountains looked like humans, ghosts, and mandrills. Eight or nine of them contain supernatural beasts.
Suddenly the cabin was filled with green smoke, Zhuge Jing was agitated, his consciousness was chaotic, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
The warrior surnamed Hu's eyes were dull and he stood frozen, unable to move.
"You didn't lie to me? Where did you get the news?"
"I'm not lying, I got the news from Kuishui Town." The warrior surnamed Hu replied like a fool.
The green smoke slowly dispersed, Zhuge Jing felt relieved and his breathing became much smoother. The warrior surnamed Hu staggered, collapsed to the ground, and was speechless for a long time.
"It seems that the news is true. The value of the supernatural beast is at least hundreds of millions. It has the power of bloodline transformation. It is not expensive to buy your news for three million. Make a poisonous oath according to the rules and the news shall not be sold to others." Xue Tong raised his hand and held the spirit stone bag. Falling next to the warrior surnamed Hu.
…
"There are strange beasts in Kuishan by the Kuishui River." Xue Tong muttered to himself.
"Taoist Xue, strange beasts are the lowest among heavenly beings, and martial saints are also common. Elder, don't you really want to go?" Zhuge Jing said.
"Don't worry, wait until the Xiashan meeting is over and ask Hou Sheng what he means. Don't be polite to others about this matter." Xue Tong said.
Zhuge Jing said nothing and silently recited a spell. At the end, a red light flashed and disappeared into his forehead. "I have sworn a blood soul oath and will never leak it to anyone."
Xue Tong had no intention of letting him swear, but it was better to quickly clear up the relationship in this matter. Zhuge Jing was a wise man and made an oath on his own, dispelling all Xue Tong's worries.
"Deacon Zhuge, you don't have to. You have worked hard, and Xue has prepared a few more boxes of pills. I will give this box to you." Xue Tong said as he gave a box of Jiongyuan Pills.
The gift was valuable, and Zhuge Jing accepted it gratefully.
The first day of September is the first day of the Xiashan Meeting.
That night there was an exchange meeting attended by Hou Qingdan. There were one hundred people, and senior Grandmasters could attend.
In the early morning, leaders of local forces such as Lord Yingoufang went up to Xia Mountain.
The master of Guangming Pavilion and the master of Fenghuo Temple had a dispute in front of Hou Qingdan, and each side held one side of the old case.
"I have already understood the matter between you two. The grudges and grievances between you two have lasted for five generations. I can't explain clearly. What's more, no matter who it belongs to, neither party can be convinced. It's better to take turns to be the banker. The disputed area belongs to the migratory zone of a large river and occupies an area of Ninety thousand square miles, with abundant water vapor and sunshine, the production of spiritual objects is very high. I think we will take turns to take charge of it for a hundred years, so don’t fight about it anymore." Hou Qingdan said.
"Then who will get the last 100 years?" The plan was fairly fair, and Pavilion Master Guangming basically accepted it and asked.
"Draw lots! For the sake of fairness, winning or losing is determined by winning or losing with nineteen lots. You two have no objection." Hou Qingdan waved his hand, and the servant brought one plus nineteen dust-free jade boxes.
When Xue Tong was exploring the secrets of Heyuan Fantasy Land, the treasures were taken first and later, and he also used a jade box to draw lots.
"There are two lots, red and blue, in the slightly larger jade box. The Lord of Wind and Fire mentioned this first, so you can shake the box and choose the color."
"At the same time, nine people from each side will draw lots. The side with more colors will win. If it happens to be equal, it will be played again."
"Before shaking it, you first try to sense whether there is any problem with the jade box and color stick."
Hou Qingdan announced the rules.
Xue Tong tried to sense the color lottery in the jade box with a ray of thought, but it was like a trickle of water falling into the sea. There was no feedback and there was no way to know what was in the box.
Soon, the master of Wind and Fire Temple rolled out the blue lottery and turned his back to the eighteen people on the other side of the hall, seven blue and eleven red.
Guangming Pavilion wins!
In full view of dozens of people, the leader of the Wind and Fire Temple had nothing to say and his expression was not very good.
"Things are planned by man and accomplished by God. Isn't it a good thing for the temple master to comply with the will of heaven? In the future, if the Wind and Fire Temple is in trouble, just speak up. We are in the cold and snowy land. We need to support each other and work together." Hou Qingdan is in charge of a large number of For hundreds of years, it is clear and logical.
"Uh-huh"
The monks in the hall whispered, convinced.
Hou Qingdan glanced at the jade plaque at his waist, "Everyone go back and prepare first, don't forget the Xu Shi exchange meeting."
Hou Qingdan sent the others away, leaving only Dong Lu in the hall who had led the Heavenly Man cultivator, "Chang Zhiqian sent word that the martial saint from the outer realm has arrived, and he is accompanying him up the mountain."
"Welcome to Xiaoyingtang!" Hou Qingdan ordered.
"Since you are going up the mountain majestically, you are not facing the enemy head-on, but mostly to explore the reality." Xue Tong thought to himself.
Wu Maxiong, the martial sage from the outside world, brought four people up the mountain and sat at the west end of Xiaoying Hall.
After the half-truth and half-false greetings, Hou Qingdan said: I am honored to be honored by the Holy King Wuma. I live in Xiaoying Mountain. There will be an exchange meeting in half a day. I beg you to honor me. "
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
Wu Maxiong rolled his eyes, glanced at the Donglu monk, and stayed on Chang Zhiqian for a moment, "I heard that when Lu Shaoyu lost, there was another monk named Xue present."
"I have the honor to watch the battle and meet Wuma Sheng." Xue Tong took a step forward and saluted.
"Oh, Taoist Master Xue is humbled." Wu Maxiong was absent-minded. He was six feet tall, with brown skin and brown hair, gleaming eyes, and surprisingly large hands.
"Is there a fight between Taoist Priest and Lu Sheng?" asked a tall and thin man from the witch-horse team.
"Luckily, after two attacks, Lu Yi was injured by Hou Sheng and his cultivation level declined, so Xue was able to pass."
"Oh, even if the Martial Saint's cultivation level is reduced by half, he will still be able to reach the pinnacle of heavenly beings. Fellow Daoist Xue must be boasting." Yu Qing, a tall and thin heavenly being, spoke thornily.
At that time, Lu Shaoyu's cultivation was estimated by Xue Tong to be at the Dacheng level.
"The injury is serious, and he is afraid of Hou Sheng, and his peak strength has not been reached, but if fellow Taoists come to pick him up, he will probably..." Xue Tong glanced at the faces of Hou Qingdan, Sha Jinkang and others.
Hou Qingdan showed no signs of joy or anger, while Sha Jinkang showed a slight expression of being happy to see Xue Tong being attacked.
"It's probably hard to save your life!" Xue Tong hesitated and said coldly.
Yu Qing was a great master of heaven and was blatantly provocative. Even if Xue Tong gave in, it was useless.
"So Daoyou Xue's cultivation level is higher than that of Yu, so I would like to ask for some advice." Yu Qing pointed to the courtyard outside Xiaoying Hall.
"Xue will accompany you!"
"Wait a minute, fellow Taoist Yu has achieved great success in celestial beings and inspired Xue Yuan to take action. He has bad intentions and needs to be restrained." Hou Qingdan interjected.
"What does Hou Sheng mean?" Yu Qing faced Wu Sheng directly, not daring to make any mistakes.
"The boxing, kicking, and spell competition is limited to three moves. Do not injure the muscles and bones. Otherwise, you will be punished according to the situation. Xue Yuan will win if he can sustain three moves, and he will receive a bonus of 20 million."
Hou Qingdan wanted both sides to withdraw their strength in time without seriously injuring their opponents.
"Just follow Hou Sheng!" Wu Maxiong spoke up and answered on his behalf.
…
Xue Tong recited a spell, blue clouds rolled above his head, and purple light lit up in the gaps.
Yu Qing pinched the curse with his fingers, and black clouds rolled out.
The two almost waved.
Suddenly a blue-purple light suddenly appeared in mid-air.
The magic light halberd fell from the sky and struck the ten-foot-high dark cloud pillar in the courtyard with lightning.
The magic spell of the Demon Celestial being Heili is also the strongest spell currently available to Xue Tong.
In the dark cloud pillar, a black-armored warrior suddenly jumped out. Regardless of the magic light halberd, the black sword slashed Xue Tong's face!
From the corner of Xue Tong's Chijin eyes, he saw a shadow breaking away from the cloud pillar and coming from the side.
Xue Tong instantly moved ten feet back and threw himself to the side.
The black armored man flicked his wrist, and the black sword changed direction and slashed towards Xue Tong's back.
The magic light halberd hit the black armored man hard on the head!
