There was no response, so Su Nu pushed open the door and saw that no one was in the room, except for a wooden table with two objects on it. She walked forward and found a white round bead and a jade bottle.
With a slight touch of spiritual consciousness, the bead suddenly melted away.
Su Nu's eyes flashed, and she stood there quietly. After a moment, a thoughtful expression appeared on her face. She looked at the jade bottle again and saw a few red gold pills in it. She recognized that it was an elixir that could quickly help her improve her cultivation. She was overjoyed and silently said in her heart, "Thank you, Lord, for the elixir!"
After putting away the jade bottle, Su Nu searched carefully again, but found no other items, so she turned and walked out.
After walking out of the wooden house, Su Nu waved her jade hand, and all traces of the wooden house and its surroundings were wiped out, leaving nothing behind, and then she left quietly.
At this time, Qin Sang and Yuan Miao had already arrived at the place where the trade fair was held.
This is a long and narrow spiritual island with a long river running through both ends of the island. Water can flow out from both ends of the island, like a jade belt hanging on the island. The river water seems endless and will never dry up.
There are two rows of exquisite pavilions built on both sides of the river. Someone arrived earlier than them and walked on the bluestone road by the river.
Qin Sang's attention was attracted by a person. This person was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with dazzling white skin, and long white hair draped behind him, which danced lightly. He walked slowly, revealing an elegant and otherworldly temperament.
Behind him followed three strange beasts.
The three spirit beasts all had yellow hair and looked like foxes, but were larger than foxes and about the same size as horses. They had two horns on their backs and looked majestic. They followed the man closely and had a gentle temperament.
"It's the Yellow Beast!"
Yuan Miao whispered, "This man is a master from the Baimin Country."
Qin Sang had heard of the country of the Bai people, which was also one of the upper tribes of the Tianbu, but he did not know the origin of the yellow beast.
The three spirit beasts are all in the transformation stage, which is equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage of humans. I don’t know what’s so special about them that deserves Yuan Miao’s attention.
“Chenghuang has been known as a auspicious beast since ancient times. If a cultivator can tame a Chenghuang beast, live with it day and night, absorb the Chenghuang essence to harmonize, and cleanse its vital energy to replenish it, it will have the effect of prolonging life. Of course, if you want to gain more life, you need to cultivate it carefully. In ancient times, there was a legend that it could increase lifespan by two thousand years. Perhaps the legend is exaggerated, but it can at least increase it by a few decades,” Yuan Miao explained.
Qin Sang suddenly realized that life span was no longer meaningful to the cultivators at the Refining Void stage, but their descendants, the cultivators who had not yet reached the Refining Void stage, were still bound by life span. If they could tame a yellow beast, they would have a chance to change their fate.
Miraculous medicines that can increase lifespan have always been fought over by countless people, so the Yellow Riding Beast is naturally very valuable.
"Because of this characteristic, everyone covets the Riding Yellow Beast. It is very rare in the world. It is said that there is only one group of it left in the entire East China Sea, which is raised by the Baimin Country. The Riding Yellow Beast only recognizes one master in its lifetime, but the Baimin Country has a special beast taming method that allows the Riding Yellow Beast to recognize multiple masters in its lifetime. Although the effect of increasing lifespan will be weakened, it is more valuable to the tribe and family."
There was a strange light in Yuan Miao's eyes, and he was obviously moved. He also had descendants.
Qin Sang's heart was also pounding. He had many old friends and descendants from the Storm Realm. Because of the thin vitality and scarce resources in the lower realm, they had wasted their cultivation. Even though they later had the Qingling Qi and got some compensation, it was still too long and too much of their lifespan was wasted. He was afraid that most of them would stop at the Spirit Transformation Stage.
This is a cruel fact. In a few hundred or even a thousand years, they will either die in a natural disaster or die of old age. Only a very small number of them will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
The monk from the White People's Country entered a pavilion with three yellow beasts.
Yuan Miao said happily, "This person is also here to attend the trade fair. Let's go!"
They landed on the river bank and walked towards the pavilion. At this moment, another person came towards them.
"what?"
The man stopped and bowed to Qin Sang, "My name is Yu Changen. Sorry for disturbing you. May I ask your Dharma name?"
"My surname is Qin. Is my friend also a human?"
Qin Sang paused and looked at the man. He saw that he was wearing a brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist. He looked very noble. He did not look like a cultivator but more like a wealthy man from the mortal world.
He guessed why the other party called him. The mirage had just begun and there were not many outsiders.
"Exactly!"
Yu Changen was overjoyed. "I didn't expect to meet a fellow Taoist so soon. Master Qin also came from Xunzhou. I wonder which immortal city his Taoist temple is in?"
During this period, Qin Sang had learned that the alien race also had contact with Xunzhou, one of the eight heavenly states. Xunzhou was located in the northeast of Da Zhou, and the fog sea was equivalent to being between the two states and the Nie River.
"I came to the sea of fog via Kanzhou," Qin Sang said. "I've always heard that Xunzhou is very different from other places. The fairy city is built in the sky, hidden between the wind and clouds. It is not fixed in one place, but moves with the wind. When the wind is strong, it can travel thousands of miles a day. Unfortunately, I have never had the time to go there."
Yu Changen laughed and said, "It's just a place ravaged by strong winds. We have already had enough of the suffering of wandering. How can we compare to the outstanding people and beautiful scenery of Kanzhou? Master Qin will definitely be disappointed."
Meeting fellow tribesmen in a foreign land made them feel closer. Yu Chang'en also came to participate in the trade fair, and the two of them walked into the pavilion together.
After a conversation, Qin Sang learned that Yu Chang'en was from the Yu family in Xunzhou. The Yu family made a living by doing business in Xunzhou, and they came here to look for opportunities among the aliens.
Of the two tribes, Water and Sky, the Water tribe is closer to the human race. Yu Changen also made friends with a senior tribe master from the Water tribe and was invited to participate in the Yuanjiao Sea Market.
However, after careful investigation, Yu Changen discovered that the channel between Xunzhou and the Water Department had long been divided up by several major forces in Xunzhou. The Yu family was not a top-notch powerful family, so it was difficult for them to get a piece of the pie.
He came to the territory of Tianbu, wanting to see if there was any opportunity. He heard there was a trade fair, so he came to join in the fun, but unexpectedly he met a fellow tribesman.
Qin Sang couldn't help but feel moved when he learned the purpose of Yu Chang'en's visit.
Building a temple is not a one-time thing. How to make the temple develop stably and become increasingly powerful is something he must consider.
The Storm Sea can still accommodate Qingyangzhi now. As more and more monks come to Qingyangzhi and their cultivation gradually improves, when Qingyangzhi expands to its limit, it will inevitably face many new problems.
During this period, Wu Lei Yuan sent people to search Qing Yang Zhi, and they did find some unique products of the Storm Realm. They cultivated them carefully and were able to exchange them for the necessary cultivation resources from the Inhumans, but it could only provide a slight relief.
Qingyangzhi is still too small to invade the outside world or annex other forces to continue to grow itself. It can only find another way out.
The first thing Qin Sang thought of was traveling merchants. Their advantage was that they were a rare human force recognized by the Heavenly Department, and they had the support of the two great clans, Si You and Zhu Yan. He also wanted to connect them through Ji Hong and Jiao Jiao clans.
In preparation for the trip to the Holy Land, these ideas had to be put aside and have not yet been implemented.
With Qingyangzhi's current strength, it is difficult to expand. Someone with enough weight must come forward to open up all the links. Qin Sang does not have the energy, and Su Nu also has to practice in seclusion, so it is impossible for them to do such a thing.
It will be easy once things are stable. The younger generations will do the daily affairs, and there will be a Void Refining cultivator to take charge and deal with the occasional difficult problems. Qin Sang can borrow people from Si Lu.
After learning about Yu Chang'en's purpose of coming, Qin Sang realized that this was an opportunity. He could use the power of the Yu family to build a framework for the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce, and then contact his old friends in Kanzhou, and he could easily get on the right track.
If Qingyangzhi can monopolize the business between the alien race and the Great Zhou, there is no need to worry about cultivation resources. In the future, perhaps they will be able to give back to him, the lord of Qingyangzhi.
Of course, to achieve this goal, Qingyang Zhi alone is not enough. He is not the only one who has this idea. Someone must have been doing it secretly for a long time. If the small Qingyang Zhi wants to become bigger and swallow this piece of fat, open and secret struggles are inevitable. It would be best to drag Zhu Yan, Si You and Jiao Jiao into the water.
With this idea in mind, Qin Sang kept thinking about various details at the trade fair and seemed to be in low spirits.
However, when the monk from the Baimin Country was selling the Yellow Riding Beast, Qin Sang spared no expense to buy one.
As the sun sets and the trade fair ends, Qin Sang invites Yu Chang'en to visit on a certain day, and Yu Chang'en gladly agrees.
After returning to the cave, Qin Sang handed the yellow beast to Li Yufu, and asked him and Yu Nu to prepare for cooperation with the Yu family.
……
Sunrise and sunset.
More and more monks came to Yuanjiaohai City. The treasure tree was full of fruits, and the tree looked bright red.
Qin Sang seized this opportunity and frequently went in and out of various trade fairs, exchanging them for the spiritual objects he desired. At the same time, he also saw many treasures unique to the alien race, which broadened his horizons.
During this period, Qin Sang and Yu Chang'en had more and more frequent contact and got to know each other better.
Yu Chang'en was shocked and became more enthusiastic when he learned that Qin Sang's Taoist temple was actually opened in the sea of fog.
Qin Sang also had some understanding of Yu Changen's personality and the strength of the Yu family. This man was a flexible person with a long-term vision. He kept a low profile in front of him and had a few brief conversations with him. He always showed that the Yu family was willing to contribute manpower and effort, and that the cooperation would still be based on Qingyangzhi.
As the saying goes, good things take time, and this kind of alliance cannot be negotiated in a few words. Even if Qin Sang and Yu Changen are willing, they will have to go back to gather people, discuss details, and weigh the pros and cons.
Li Yufu and Yu Nu tentatively selected some candidates for forming the Chamber of Commerce, including Mu Tangzhu of Liuzhou Hall and others, and immediately began preparations after returning.
Qin Sang and Yu Chang'en agreed on a time, at which time Yu Chang'en would lead the Yu family masters to visit Qing Yangzhi. If he had not come out of the holy land by then, Su Nu would come forward.
This day.
Qin Sang and Yu Chang'en were having a very pleasant conversation. Just as Qin Sang sent him away, he happened to meet Su Nu coming back.
"Have you encountered any troubles during this period?" Qin Sang stopped Su Nu and asked in a deep voice.
Su Nu was startled and forced a smile, "I still couldn't hide it from Brother Qin."
Qin Sang frowned. Su Nu often disappeared for a long time these days, and her expression was a little strange. Even though he focused all his attention on the trade fair and Yu Chang'en, he could still sense something.
"If it's about your own secrets, I won't ask too much. If you've offended someone, even if we're not their opponents, we can ask the Yuanxiang tribe leader to mediate," Qin Sang said.
More than two hundred years had passed since the day they met again. During these years, whenever he asked for something, Su Nu would help him with all her might, even at the cost of her own cultivation. It can be said that without Su Nu, Qingyang Prefecture would not have been built so quickly and smoothly.
If Su Nu gets into trouble, he will definitely return the favor.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Qin."
Su Nu sighed softly, "Because this is my personal matter, I have not dared to trouble Brother Qin. Please don't blame me, Brother Qin."
After hesitating for a moment, Su Nu said softly, "I found traces left by the master."
"Your master? In Yuanjiaohai City?"
Qin Sang was surprised.
He remembered Su Nu said that her master taught her for a while and then left, and later disappeared without a trace. Su Nu said that her master was a human cultivator, but that might not be the truth. If her master deliberately concealed his identity, Su Nu would not be able to see through it.
"I only found some vague traces, but I don't know whether they were left now or in the past. I have been looking everywhere these days, but I haven't found any more clues, and..."
Su Nu's eyes flashed with doubt, "That trace actually points to outside Yuanjiaohai City, deeper into the Nie River!"
……
That night.
The moon is bright in the sky, and its light is as bright as water.
Qin Sang and Su Nu quietly left Yuanjiaohai City and flew out of the range of clouds and mist. They immediately felt the chaotic power permeating the void.
The sea below was churning with terrible black waves, and Yuanjiao Sea City seemed like the only pure land in the doomsday.
The foul air retreated a distance, and a black curtain could be seen in the distance. The two slowly flew towards the curtain. When they arrived in front of the foul air, they felt the power of the black tide that was comparable to the power of heaven. Looking at the horrific scene in front of them, both of them looked solemn.
"The situation deep in the Nie River is unclear, so it's best if we don't go there in person," Qin Sang said.
Su Nu nodded in agreement.
Qin Sang looked around, then dodged toward the sea. His true energy condensed into a piece of black ice that rose and fell with the waves.
The two fell onto the ice, Qin Sang manifested his Dharma body, and Su Nu took out a palm-sized stone sculpture. It was unknown what material the stone sculpture was made of, its color was grayish white, and its expression was dull.
Su Nu infused her true energy into the stone sculpture, and the stone sculpture's expression immediately became lively. Then Su Nu lightly touched the center of the stone sculpture's eyebrows with her index finger, and a little black light appeared at the point of her finger. There seemed to be a complex rune in the black light, and there was a faint breath of Su Nu's soul, which sank into the body of the stone sculpture.
The stone sculpture grew rapidly and transformed into a stone ghost warrior, rushing into the foul air side by side with Qin Sang's Dharma body.
'Rumble...'
Passing through the black curtain, Qin Sang suddenly felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. The scene was far more chaotic than what Niehe saw at the edge.
Qin Sang's Dharma body paused for a moment, staring into the distance. Unfortunately, he did not see the scene of the small worlds arranged that year. He turned his eyes to look at the Stone Ghost Warrior, and saw that the Stone Ghost Warrior's aura was quiet, and he was performing a secret technique to sense the direction.
After a moment, the Stone Ghost Warrior raised his hand and pointed to the front right, and made the same sound as Su Nu: "There!"
Wherever the two men passed, the sky and the earth changed color, wind and thunder followed, causing even greater chaos.
Su Nu had to stop from time to time to sense again and change direction. They went deeper and deeper into the river, and the scene in the river became more and more mysterious and terrifying.
