Qinghe Immortal Clan.

After the auctioneer holding the wooden jade box on the stage below finished speaking, he took the initiative to open the jade box in his hand, and a gray pill with a bright glow appeared in front of everyone.

At the "Lei Yuan Hai" trade fair that year, Song Qingming spent hundreds of thousands of spirit stones to buy a "Ying Pei Dan".

When he saw the same pill appear in front of him, he recognized it instantly.

Huang Siyuan, who was sitting next to him, saw Song Qingming's excited face and guessed something from his eyes and asked him:

"Husband, could this be the infant-nourishing pill?"

"Hmm! I thought this item would only appear in the last auction tomorrow, but I didn't expect the infant-cultivating pill to appear today. It seems that there will be even better spiritual items at tomorrow's auction."

Song Qingming nodded slightly when he heard this. At the same time, after the auctioneer below displayed the item, he immediately began to introduce the function of the Peiying Pill.

Most of the Nascent Soul cultivators present had seen the "Infant-Pening Pill", but there were also quite a few Golden Core cultivators like Huang Siyuan who were attending such a large-scale auction for the first time.

In order to prevent anyone from being unaware of the preciousness of the spiritual objects in his hands, the auctioneer patiently explained it to everyone before beginning to invite everyone to bid.

Although many spiritual objects above level four have appeared at the "auction" in the past few days, these things are obviously less valuable than the "Infant-Nourishing Pills" in front of them.

Seeing such a precious spiritual object finally appear, many cultivators present, including Song Qingming, could no longer contain their excitement.

The auctioneer just announced the start of bidding, and soon the price of "Infant Peidan" skyrocketed and directly rose to 200,000 spirit stones.

Compared with the many restrictions imposed at the last "Lei Yuan Hai" transaction, this auction does not have these rules and everyone can participate in bidding.

Therefore, the competition for the "Infant-Nourishing Pill" was more intense this time, and the value was also slightly higher than the last auction. The first elixir alone was sold at a high price of 330,000 spirit stones.

Faced with the price of the last "Infant-Nourishing Pill", Song Qingming hesitated for a moment, but gave up the fight for the first elixir.

Although the two people sitting on the chairs at this moment were mentally prepared, there was still a hint of surprise in their eyes.

The price of this "Infant-Nourishing Pill" is enough to exchange for two or three level four spiritual objects of the same rank, which is still a little beyond his psychological expectations.

Although he failed to take a picture of the first elixir, Song Qingming was not too anxious. He still sat in the chair with a normal expression and looked down closely.

Although the auctioneer on the stage just took out only a wooden box, he probably guessed that there must be more than one "Infant-Nourishing Pill" for auction this time.

After all, this is a large-scale auction that only happens once in a century in "Donghuang Xianzhou". There shouldn't be just one spiritual object that can assist in forming a baby.

If this is true, it would be a great disappointment to the monks who came to attend the conference.

The "Tianyu Sect" probably can't afford to lose face like this.

As Song Qingming expected, the auction of the first "Infant-cultivating Pill" had just ended when the old man on the stage took out a second identical wooden box from his body and said slowly:

“My fellow Taoists, don’t be anxious. This time, our sect has prepared eight infant-cultivating pills. You can continue to bid.

But to be fair, everyone will have the opportunity to compete for this item.

Daoists who have already bid for this item will no longer be able to bid for the remaining elixirs. I hope you will understand this."

As the auctioneer announced with a smile that the second "Ying Pei Dan" was open for bidding, the entire "auction" became lively again.

When the first "Infant-Nourishing Pill" was auctioned, the auctioneer did not mention that there would be so many more pills later. In fact, he was deliberately hiding some tricks.

They wanted those monks who had rarely participated in such large-scale auctions to think that there was only one elixir and to fight for it with all their strength. This also resulted in the first "Infant-Nourishing Pill" being sold at the high price they wanted.

However, when everyone present knew that there was more than one "Infant-Nourishing Pill", the competition for the second elixir was obviously not as fierce as before.

At this time, seeing that the price of the second "Infant-Nourishing Pill" did not rise as fast as before, Song Qingming naturally did not want to miss this good opportunity.

After a round of bidding competition, he finally won the second elixir for 290,000 spirit stones.

Although he spent tens of thousands more spirit stones than the last "Lei Yuan Hai" transaction, Song Qingming still breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the "Ying Pei Dan" in his hands.

After all, as a Nascent Soul cultivator now, his wealth is naturally not as much as when he was a Jindan cultivator.

At this moment, Song Qingming did not feel too bad about spending tens of thousands of spirit stones to purchase the "Infant-Nourishing Pill".

After the auction of the second elixir ended, the remaining six "Infant-Nourishing Pills" were all successfully auctioned at high prices as expected.

However, except for the last one which cost more than 320,000 spirit stones, the prices of the remaining ones were similar to those bid by Song Qingming, and were sold for around 300,000 spirit stones.

When the "auction" was over, under the guidance of the maid beside him, Song Qingming quickly and successfully obtained the most important spiritual object of this trip, the "Infant Peidan".

Finally, I succeeded in achieving my wish and completed the biggest purpose of coming to participate in the "Donghuang Sword Conference" this time.

When the two of them returned to their residence, they saw that Bai Yuxian also had a look of joy on his face. Song Qingming also guessed that the other party should have obtained an elixir as expected.

Although there were many cultivators competing for the "Infant-Nourishing Pill" on the scene, Bai Yuxian was also fully prepared for this trip and brought a lot of spirit stones to attend the conference.

Large Nascent Soul sects with profound heritage, such as the Wanling Sect or the top ten of the Donghuang Sword Society, more or less have their own ways to obtain spiritual objects to assist in the formation of the Nascent Soul.

Generally, they will not participate in the competition for "Peiyingdan" at a premium.

Song Qingming and his team's main competitors are still the small Nascent Soul forces that do not have many channels to obtain Nascent Soul spiritual objects, as well as some independent cultivators who come to participate in the conference.

Most of these cultivators are not particularly wealthy, so Bai Yuxian still has many advantages in competing with them.

After all, in recent years, the "Xiaoyao Sect" has successively defeated the northern demon tribe and occupied the high-level spiritual vein of Chiyun Mountain. The development of the sect is also very rapid.

Gathering all the sect's strength in exchange for a "Neiying Pill" might have been a bit difficult a hundred years ago, but it is not difficult for the current "Xiaoyao Sect" anymore.

Compared to Bai Yuxian's joyful expression, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan did not appear too excited.

Exchanging for the "Infant-Nourishing Pill" is such an important matter. After all, it concerns Song Qingyu's path and the future of his family. Song Qingming did not want to make it too public.

Before coming back, he had already discussed it with Huang Siyuan and decided not to mention the matter to anyone else for the time being, so as to avoid any trouble.

Fortunately, Bai Yuxian and the others were busy sharing their joy and did not ask them, saving Song Qingming and the others the trouble of explaining the matter.

Just as Song Qingming and others were sitting in the room chatting, a wave of spiritual energy suddenly came from the door. Seeing this, Zheng Zongxun, who was standing nearby, hurried forward to check.

A moment later, Zheng Zongxun immediately returned and handed the letter in his hand to Song Qingming.

"Uncle Song, someone from Qingxin Pavilion upstairs sent a letter, saying that they need you to come over for something!"

Hearing that it was for him, Song Qingming hurriedly took the letter, opened it and took a look. After a while, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

"Junior Brother Song, what good thing happened?"

"Oh! When I was buying spiritual objects there before, I asked them about the news of the weapon refiner. It seems that there should be some clues."

Seeing Bai Yuxian and others casting curious glances his way, Song Qingming hurriedly opened his mouth to explain to them, then stood up and walked out alone.

Arriving at the "Qingxin Pavilion" on the third floor with ease, Song Qingming saw Qi Rong who was already waiting there. He quickly raised his hand and saluted with a smile.

"Haha! I thought I would have to wait a little longer, but I didn't expect Brother Song to come so quickly."

"How dare I neglect what I have in mind? I wonder if you have asked me to come here, but have you received any news about what I asked for?"

Hearing Song Qingming's direct question, Qi Rong nodded quickly with a happy expression.

“You are right, Daoist friend. In the past few days, I have used my connections in the alliance to ask many people, and finally found out that a fourth-level mid-grade weapon refiner is willing to help.

Fellow Daoist Song, please come with me in to taste tea and wait for a moment. I have arranged for someone to invite that fellow Daoist over.

Don't worry, fellow Daoist, with our alliance's help and guarantee, this matter will definitely not be a big problem."

"Then Song would like to thank Fellow Daoist Qi first!"

After confirming that it was Qi Rong who helped him find the high-level weapon refiner he needed, Song Qingming nodded with joy, and then followed him to the attic in the back.

After the two sat down together, Qi Rong immediately waved and had someone bring the fragrant spiritual tea, and then he accompanied Song Qingming to drink tea and chat.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, before the two had finished sipping the spiritual tea in their cups, a purple-robed maid knocked on the door and came in, then nodded slightly to Qi Rong in the room.

Seeing this, Qi Rong hurriedly greeted Song Qingming and walked out quickly.

When the other party pushed the door open again, there was a white-haired old man with a serious expression behind Qi Rong, who came directly to Song Qingming.

"Fellow Daoist Song, this is Fellow Daoist Li from Yunlong Mountain in Nanzhou. He is the fourth-level intermediate-grade weapon refiner that you are looking for."

"This is Fellow Daoist Song from the Floating Cloud Mountains. He is also a distinguished guest of our alliance."

Qi Rong had just finished introducing the two people and when he looked at the white-haired old man beside him, he found that the other person was staring at Song Qingming's face in front of him in disbelief, with a look of surprise and shock.

"How could it be you? You have also advanced to the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Junior Song Qingming, nice to meet Senior Li!"

Song Qingming was also surprised when he saw the white-haired old man who suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Li Boying, the head of the Li family of "Yunlong Mountain" whom he had met once before.

He never expected that the other party was actually the high-level weapon refiner that Qi Rong had carefully found for him.

Thinking back to the time when I was at "Yunlong Mountain", I was threatened by the other party without knowing it, and I still remember it vividly.

If Song Qingming had known in advance that the person he was going to meet would be Li Boying, he would not have wanted to ask for help from him even if he had spent more spirit stones to ask other people for help.

What's more, Senior Sister Li Xuanyi is still on "Chiyun Mountain". If she were to notice this, it would inevitably bring her a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Song Qingming felt a little regretful in his heart. Why did he have to ask "Qingxin Pavilion" to help him find a high-level weapon refiner?

However, now that he had already bumped into the other person, it was too late even if Song Qingming felt a little regretful.

He could only try to keep his face calm while he took the initiative to greet Li Boying in front of him, trying not to let the other party see that he was feeling strange. Compared to Song Qingming who was full of regret, Li Boying was always shocked and stared at the person in front of him in disbelief.

When Song Qingming went to "Yunlong Mountain", his cultivation had just broken through the ninth level of the Golden Core.

It has only been a few decades, and the other party has actually advanced to the third level of the Nascent Soul realm. Such a speed of cultivation is really hard for him to believe.

Thinking that Song Qingming was just a junior who could only beg for mercy in front of him, but now he is on an equal footing with him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He is truly worthy of being the disciple chosen by the "Taixu Sect". With such talent, he is a rare gifted person even among these Nascent Soul cultivators.

At this moment, Li Boying was just like Qi Rong who had just met Song Qingming a few days ago. He was surprised for a long time before he came to his senses and gently raised his hand towards the other party.

Seeing that Li Boying and Song Qingming both looked a little strange, Qi Rong, who was standing beside them, immediately smiled and asked

"My two Taoist friends, have you met before?"

"When I was still a child, I did meet Senior Li once. However, my cultivation was still low at that time. I am really honored that Senior Li still remembers me."

Song Qingming finished speaking modestly. Li Boying, who was standing in front of him, glanced slightly and waved to him.

“I never thought that Brother Song, at such a young age, could advance to the Nascent Soul stage so quickly. It was because I was short-sighted that I underestimated you.

But what happened back then was just a misunderstanding, so you don’t have to keep it in mind.

Now that you and I have reached the same level of cultivation, I dare not call you my senior. Please just call me your fellow Taoist."

After Li Boying finished speaking, he nodded slightly at Song Qingming with a calm expression, and then sat down beside him.

Seeing this, Song Qingming quickly explained with a smile:
"What you said is true. I don't have any grudges about what happened back then. I have almost forgotten it a long time ago.

However, I really respect you, Senior, so I dare not be disrespectful. I hope Senior Li will not misunderstand me."

Although Li Boying saw that Song Qingming had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he took the initiative to address him as fellow Taoist.

However, facing this senior who had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage many years ago and seemed to need help from him now, Song Qingming did not dare to be arrogant and insisted on calling the other party "senior".

Li Boying remained calm about this and didn't care too much about it.

"Haha! It turns out that you two Taoist friends really knew each other before. It was Qi who didn't know about this and said too much just now.

We are all Nascent Soul cultivators, so we should be kind to others so that we can have a smooth path. Since there is no major misunderstanding between the two of you and it has been resolved, I think there is no need to bring up the past again."

After hearing what Li Boying and Song Qingming said, Qi Rong, who was standing aside, now roughly understood that they might have had some conflicts before, so he quickly spoke up to try to reconcile them.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, most Nascent Soul cultivators are unwilling to make enemies with others easily, except for those wandering cultivators who like to wander around without a fixed place to stay.

After all, this is not only not conducive to one's own cultivation, but also easy to bring unnecessary disasters to one's younger generations. There is really no need to do so.

If one has too deep a grudge with others, and if one dies in the future, his enemies will take the opportunity to come and find him, which will most likely bring about a devastating disaster to his family or sect.

Seeing that neither of them objected to what he said, Qi Rong quickly invited Song Qingming and the other to taste the tea, then changed the topic and continued to introduce Song Qingming:

“Fellow Daoist Song, you may not know that Fellow Daoist Li’s weapon refining skills had already advanced to the fourth-level intermediate realm three hundred years ago, and he is considered a veteran high-level weapon refiner in your Donghuang Xianzhou.

Our alliance has cooperated with Li Daoyou several times over the years, and we highly recognize his equipment-refining skills.

If Daoist Fellow Li is willing to help, I can be assured of what you ask for."

Hearing Qi Rong boasting about his weapon-refining skills with a focused look on his face, Li Boying's expression was very calm. When the other party finished speaking, he asked Song Qingming directly:
“Since we are all acquaintances, I won’t bother to play around with you.

If you want me to refine a magical instrument, you must give me a high-level refining material of level 4 or above as a reward. I believe you should be aware of this!"

"If you are willing to help me, I will not hesitate to pay you back!"

Seeing that Song Qingming agreed immediately, Li Boying showed a look of satisfaction, then nodded and continued:

"Since you know the rules, take out the things you need to refine!"

Hearing this, Song Qingming gently patted his waist with one hand, and a half-foot-long golden tortoise shell appeared in front of him. He then sent it directly to Li Boying who was not far away.

Seeing the golden tortoise shell appearing in front of him, Li Boying, who was sitting next to him, could not help but slightly move his calm face and said in surprise:

"This is the shell of a hundred-eyed golden turtle. I didn't expect you to have some skills to be able to hunt down such a powerful high-level monster."

Hearing Li Boying's praise, Song Qingming felt a little unworthy and hurriedly explained to him:

"Senior Li, you have misunderstood. This item was obtained by chance when I participated in an exchange meeting before. It is not a monster that I hunted."

Upon hearing this, Li Boying just looked at Song Qingming meaningfully without saying anything more. He then turned his gaze to the golden tortoise shell in front of him.

After looking carefully for a while, he continued:
“This item has reached the fourth-level mid-grade grade, and is more suitable for refining a defensive magic weapon.

However, if we only have this piece of tortoise shell, the material is still a little insufficient. We need at least a level 4 or above demon beast spirit to be able to refine a suitable magic weapon."

"A fourth-level demon beast spirit. Our store received one of these items some time ago. If Brother Song needs it, I can have someone bring it to you right away."

Faced with Qi Rong's proposal, Song Qingming hesitated for a moment but shook his head slightly. Then a light flashed in his hand and he took out a green jade bottle.

Then he opened the bottle cap and cast a spell to release a translucent purple flying crane from inside.

"I happen to have a level 4 demon beast spirit on me. Senior, can you take a look at it first?"

“It’s actually a fourth-level mid-grade demon beast spirit!
Could it be that this item was also obtained by chance at the exchange meeting?"

Seeing that the White Crane Demon King's spirit in front of them had reached the fourth-level intermediate realm, Li Boying and Qi Rong beside him showed a hint of surprise on their faces again.

Coincidentally, their eyes turned to Song Qingming standing aside again.

But the other person just smiled slightly awkwardly at this moment.

If the golden tortoise shell just taken out was a high-end material obtained by the bridegroom from an exchange meeting, it could be explained as just good luck.

Now, if we explain the fourth-grade intermediate monster spirit in this way, everyone will feel that there is something wrong with it.

Materials of monsters of the fourth-level mid-grade and above are definitely not something that ordinary cultivators are capable of obtaining, not to mention that Song Qingming took out two pieces at once in front of them, how could they not be surprised.

Seeing that Song Qingming in front of them was only at the third level of the Nascent Soul, and that he didn't look like someone who had the ability to hunt down a demon beast in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, the two were surprised and confused.

Knowing that it was inconvenient for him to tell them the origin of the monster spirit, and it was not easy to explain too much to the two of them, Song Qingming simply shut his mouth and did not explain any more.

Seeing that Song Qingming seemed unwilling to say more, Li Boying looked at him strangely but did not continue to ask questions.

"I am only concerned with confirming whether the quality of the materials is suitable for refining magic weapons. As for whether these materials are obtained by fellow Taoists in exchange for spiritual objects, I will not ask too much.

Fellow Daoist Song, rest assured. With the spirit of this monster and this tortoise shell, I have at least a 70% to 80% chance of refining a fourth-grade intermediate defensive magic weapon.

After refining the fourth-level medium-quality demon beast spirit, the power of this magic weapon can be increased by at least 10% or 20%, and its quality should also satisfy fellow Taoists.

In addition, the two materials you brought out are more than enough to refine a magic weapon.

Any extra materials left will be considered as my reward, and you don’t have to pay me extra for high-level refining materials.

Two years later, you can come to Yunlong Mountain to receive the magic weapon."

After saying that, Li Boying simply waved his hand and collected all the "golden tortoise shell" and the spirit of the monster in front of him.

"Haha! Since Fellow Daoist Li said so, then this matter is almost certain. I would like to congratulate you two Daoists on reaching the deal.

Don't worry, my two fellow Taoists. My presence here just now can be regarded as a witness for you.

If there is anything wrong in the future, you two can come to the Four Seas Merchant Alliance to find me, and I will tell you the truth."

Upon hearing that Li Boying had accepted the refining weapon, Qi Rong's face immediately showed a hint of joy, and he was the first to bow to the two of them to express his congratulations.

Seeing this, Song Qingming's face was slightly relieved and he quickly bowed to Li Boying.

This time, Song Qingming was looking for a high-level weapon refiner. Although he had no intention of dealing with Li Boying, he was still slightly tempted when he heard that the other party's weapon refining level was very high.

Moreover, the other party is also a Nascent Soul cultivator with profound cultivation. When dealing with old foxes like them who have lived for thousands of years, if one behaves in a somewhat abnormal manner, it would probably easily arouse the other party's suspicion.

Anyway, I did come here to find someone to help me refine a magic weapon, so there is no need to hide it.

If I can succeed, I will succeed. If I can’t, I won’t force it!

After the deal was concluded, Li Boying did not stay long. After saying hello to Qi Rong beside him, he said goodbye and left.

After Li Boying left, Song Qingming breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Qi Rong smiling at the side, he quickly took out a bag of spirit stones from his pocket and handed it to him.

"I am able to ask Senior Li for help this time, and I am also grateful to you for your help in mediating. This little bit of spiritual stones is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't despise it, you Daoist Fellow Qi."

In order to help Song Qingming make this happen, Qi Rong not only provided a lot of help, but was also willing to act as a witness and guarantee for the two of them.

Naturally, Song Qingming did not dare to treat the other party unfairly, and he had already prepared a lot of spirit stones in his bag to express his gratitude.

Qi Rong took a look at the spirit stone bag and a hint of joy soon appeared on his face. He bowed and nodded at Song Qingming.

Seeing that the other party accepted the spirit stone with satisfaction, and thinking that it was getting late and he had to prepare to attend the last day of the conference tomorrow, Song Qingming wanted to get up and say goodbye and leave.

But at this moment, Qi Rong smiled and stretched out his hand to stop him.

“Fellow Daoist Song, don’t be anxious.

I have something else to ask you, fellow Taoist." (End of this chapter)
