I conquer the immortal with my strength.
Chapter 300
Chapter 300 Know-it-all
The outermost area is considered the outer island, which is basically filled with shops for the mortal world. The further in you go, the more ancient the houses are or the more magnificent and elegant they are. There are even palace-like buildings rising from the ground.
The second level is the market town built by Iron Fan Island for monks, which is considered the inner island.
Further in, it is close to the "fan handle" area.
The area consists of more than a dozen lush green peaks.
There are many magnificent palaces on that mountain range. Purple mist rises between the mountains and forests, and spiritual fog lingers. When the sun shines down, the clouds are steaming and the palaces in the mountains are set off, making them look like the legendary fairy palace.
That mountain range is where the Iron Fan Island Lord's residence and the monks directly under the island Lord are based. It is also the core area of the Iron Fan Island. Uniformed Iron Fan Island disciples are patrolling back and forth on spirit birds, and the area is heavily guarded. Outsiders are absolutely not allowed to enter without notification, otherwise they will be killed without mercy.
There are still two days before the auction.
After Xia Daoming arrived on the island, he was not in a hurry. He first strolled leisurely in the secular area of the outer island, trying to recall the feelings and memories of his past as a mortal.
Xia Daoming even went to a brothel on purpose, of course just to listen to some music and drink some wine.
With his current level of cultivation and status, how could he be interested in the vulgar women in brothels? He just wanted to experience the game of life.
After wandering around the secular area of the outer island for half a day, Xia Daoming finally came to the inner island at a leisurely pace.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the outer islands, with people jostling each other and the bustling atmosphere of street vendors, the inner islands seem much quieter and more spacious.
However, as the auction was approaching, many monks from all sides gathered on the inner island early on.
Some monks came to set up stalls, taking advantage of this grand event to earn some spirit stones.
Some monks took advantage of this grand event to shop on Taobao.
It can be said that before the auction, this inner island was a big bazaar for the world of immortal cultivation.
The streets were filled with stalls selling all kinds of spiritual herbs, spiritual talismans, and magical instruments. There were even tea stalls, as well as stalls selling delicacies made with various monsters and spiritual beasts as ingredients...
Anyway, there are all kinds of stalls.
However, the goods on these stalls are almost all aimed at cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.
High-end goods that are truly suitable for Jindan cultivators generally do not appear on these "street stalls". They are displayed in shops opened by major forces on and near Iron Fan Island. Of course, they also appear at auctions.
The cultivators coming and going on the streets of the market town are almost all cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment realms, and most of them are cultivators in the Qi Refining realm. The number of Foundation Establishment cultivators is relatively much smaller.
Xia Daoming is a cultivator who has reached the perfect foundation. When he walks on the street, he stands out from the crowd and attracts a lot of attention. Whenever he walks in front of any stall, people will greet him respectfully as "senior".
At first, Xia Daoming was wandering around the streets with great interest, looking for any chance of finding a bargain.
As a result, after walking around for half a day, we found nothing.
To him, a newly rich man in the world of immortal cultivation, those commodities were just street goods.
After losing interest in the street stalls, Xia Daoming went to several high-end stores to see if there was anything he wanted in high-end stores overseas.
As a result, he found that there were not many that caught his eye, and those that caught his eye, he already had plenty on hand, so there was no need for him to buy them.
So, after visiting several shops, Xia Daoming decided not to wander around anymore, but to find a restaurant to satisfy his appetite and rest, while waiting for the auction to begin.
After exiting the last store, Xia Daoming walked along the street for a while, then suddenly stopped and waved behind him without turning his head. He moved his lips and said in a voice transmission, "You've been following me for a while. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There's no need to be sneaky."
Soon, a thin man with a pointed chin and a pair of big pointed ears walked out from a street corner not far behind Xia Daoming. He came to Xia Daoming cautiously and bowed to him repeatedly with a flattering smile on his face.
"Senior, you are really capable. Nothing can be hidden from you. I am Ren Xiaoyao, the know-it-all of Iron Fan Island. If you have anything to say, please let me know."
"Ren Xiaoyao?" Xia Daoming glanced at the thin man and was speechless when he heard that.
With his pointed chin, shifty eyes and a fawning smile, he doesn't look like a free and easy person at all.
But soon Xia Daoming seemed to have thought of something, and raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "You said you are a know-it-all, so does that mean you are well-informed?"
"Senior, don't look at me as someone who hasn't established his foundation yet. But when it comes to being well-informed, even the Golden Core Patriarch in Iron Fan Island may not be better than me." Ren Xiaoyao saw that Xia Daoming seemed to be tempted, and he immediately perked up. He hurriedly patted his dry chest and said arrogantly.
"Oh, then how much do you calculate for your information?" Xia Daoming curled his lips and asked casually.
He naturally didn't believe that a Qi-refining cultivator could know any important information.
"As for the price, please give it as you decide. I dare not boast about other things, but I know how to judge people. You are different from the general cultivators who have completed the foundation building. If you really want to get useful information, you will never let me down." Ren Xiaoyao replied.
"You have quite a keen eye. You can actually tell that I am a cultivator who has reached the perfect foundation. Okay, take me to the best restaurant here first. I will treat you to a big meal. If you can really give me useful information, I will give you another reward." Xia Daoming said with a faint smile.
"Thank you, senior. How about I take you to Qinglongzhu? Qinglongzhu's immortal brew Longyin wine is brewed with Hualong fruit and other precious spiritual medicines. When the wine is poured into the cup, the wine vapor rises. Not only can you faintly hear the sound of dragon roar, but you can also see the dragon flying in the clouds in the cup. It is really a wonderful sight.
This is just one of the wonders. This wine can also strengthen the qi and blood of practitioners and strengthen their physical strength. If I can drink a glass of this wine, I might be able to subdue a tiger." Ren Xiaoyao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said quickly.
When he said this, he probably thought of the wonderful taste of Longyin wine and swallowed his saliva.
"Dragon fruit!"
Xia Daoming's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
Thinking back to the past, the dragon fruit was such a precious and hard-to-find fruit for him. But now, this exotic fruit is just a raw material for making wine.
It’s really hard to predict how the world changes!
At that time, who would have thought that this day would come?
"Of course, this Longyin wine is very expensive. A small pot costs one medium-grade spirit stone. How about we go to Zuixianlou? Zuixianlou is also one of the most famous restaurants on Tieshan Island. Their..." Ren Xiaoyao saw that Xia Daoming didn't say anything for a while, so he quickly changed his words with a smile.
"Didn't you say that you are good at judging people? Do you think that I am short of money and can't even afford to drink Longyin wine?" Xia Daoming looked at Ren Xiaoyao with a smile when he heard this.
"Of course not, of course not." Ren Xiaoyao said quickly.
"Then why are you still talking nonsense? Let's go to Qinglong for a drink." Xia Daoming waved his hand and said.
"Yes, yes, senior, please follow me." Ren Xiaoyao nodded and bowed repeatedly, then took Xia Daoming through the streets and alleys. Not long after, they arrived in front of a restaurant that looked like a palace.
The sky above the restaurant was shrouded in mist, and in the mist there was a faint green dragon poking its head out and wagging its tail, exuding a hint of majesty and dominance.
The receptionists in the restaurant all looked like fairies who had fallen into the mortal world in terms of temperament and appearance.
Almost all the guests coming in and out of this restaurant are in the late foundation building stage or above. Those below the late foundation building stage are extremely rare. Even the Jindan cultivators who are rarely seen elsewhere do not seem so rare here.
As soon as Xia Daoming arrived at the door, he saw a Jindan cultivator entering the restaurant surrounded by several foundation-building cultivators.
Ren Xiaoyao looked up at Qinglongzhuo, his neck shrank slightly, a complex look of timidity and expectation flashed across his eyes, and then he straightened his shriveled chest and walked forward with a step that didn't recognize any relatives. He said arrogantly to the smiling receptionist: "Prepare a first-class private room for Senior Xia right away!"
When talking about the best, Ren Xiaoyao's aura inexplicably shrank and his voice trembled.
Qinglongzhuo has nine floors, and the superior private rooms are located on the ninth floor. Not only can you overlook most of Tieshan Island, but you can also look up to see the green dragon poking its head and swaying its tail in the clouds.
It is said that it is the phantom of a trapped green dragon's remaining soul. For low-level cultivators like him, if they can watch it up close, it will have a great effect on their enlightenment.
Of course, the price of the Qinglongzhuo's premium private rooms is expensive, and generally only Jindan cultivators can afford to spend it.
If Xia Daoming had not mentioned in advance that he wanted a good private room, Ren Xiaoyao would never have dared to ask for it even if he was killed.
But even so, Ren Xiaoyao still felt somewhat guilty.
After all, Xia Daoming is still just a foundation-building cultivator.
The welcoming woman seemed to see through Ren Xiaoyao's guilty conscience, and her eyes moved as she looked at Xia Daoming.
"Lead the way!" Xia Daoming casually rewarded the welcoming woman with ten low-grade spirit stones.
The welcoming woman was only a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator. Ten low-grade spirit stones were definitely a considerable income for her. She immediately led the way with great excitement.
Soon, the two entered the private room on the ninth floor.
Xia Daoming casually ordered seven or eight of Qinglongzhu's signature dishes and two pots of Longyin wine, and then sent the waiter away.
After a while, a ripple suddenly appeared above the private room, and a dragon claw appeared from the clouds above.
The dragon held a large tray in its claws, on which were placed the dishes ordered by Xia Daoming and Longyin wine.
The clouds and mist changed and condensed into a slender jade hand, which took the dishes and Longyin wine on the tray one by one and placed them on the table.
After everything was done, the dragon claws slowly retracted into the clouds, and then the sky above the private room returned to normal.
This scene made Ren Xiaoyao's heart surge, his eyes full of longing and yearning, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
"Gulu!"
After coming to his senses, Ren Xiaoyao's eyes fell on the dishes and drinks on the table, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
This table of dishes and drinks is worth at least seven or eight hundred low-grade spirit stones, which is definitely a huge sum for Ren Xiaoyao. Given his current situation, he doesn't know when he will have the chance to accumulate so many spirit stones.
"Eat and drink something first, then we'll talk about things." Seeing this, Xia Daoming smiled faintly, poured himself a glass of Longyin wine, and drank it slowly.
"Thank you, senior. Well, I was too presumptuous." Ren Xiaoyao suppressed the excitement in his heart and quickly stood up to thank him. He picked up some dishes and took two sips of Longyin wine. Then he put down his chopsticks and wine glass temporarily, with a slightly red face, and quietly practiced his skills.
For Qi-refining monks, these dishes and Longyin wine are both very nutritious. Even if they want to eat them, they cannot eat much at once.
Seeing this, Xia Daoming said nothing. He just drank quietly while looking down at Iron Fan Island.
The private room has no walls or windows, but is surrounded by water curtains, so one can enjoy the scenery outside while outsiders cannot see what is going on inside.
Suddenly, Xia Daoming's expression changed slightly.
Just above the sea near the Iron Fan Island, there was a glittering chariot being pulled by two golden roc phantoms, flying towards the Iron Fan Island.
A melodious bell sound came from the peak in the core area of Iron Fan Island.
Then a Jindan cultivator brought some other cultivators and flew out of the core area, heading towards the direction where the carriage was coming from.
"Hey, why is he here too?" Ren Xiaoyao seemed to sense something. He looked into the distance with a hint of surprise on his face.
"Do you know the owner of that carriage?" Xia Daoming's heart moved and he asked in a deep voice.
