Chapter 143 Meeting of Loose Cultivators
Meng Yueshan and Lin Yuan are both at the ninth level of Qi Refining. With the help of the formation, their strength is far beyond that of ordinary ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the three of them act together, they can remain invincible even if they are besieged by five ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators at the same time.
Under the guidance of Meng Yueshan and Lin Yuan, the three of them successfully arrived at the designated valley.
This place is hidden, with rugged rocks in the valley and towering mountains around, but there is no spiritual energy. It is a very ordinary valley.
But for casual cultivators, this place is not ordinary.
Because many casual cultivators often barter here and exchange the cultivation resources they need. It is a secret trading place among casual cultivators.
And here, there is also an unwritten rule - that is, once entering the trading range, it is forbidden to use swords and knives, otherwise they will be expelled by all flash cultivators and will never be able to enter here.
Most casual cultivators will follow this rule.
So many times, casual cultivators will choose to gather here, which is also a symbol of friendship.
Not long after the three arrived, Xie Zhouhe came from a distance with a smile.
At first glance, he saw Zhou Daocheng standing between the two, and his eyes could not help shrinking slightly.
Zhou Daocheng was still wearing a purple robe and a bronze mask. His aura was heavy and long. Xie Zhouhe could feel his extremely terrifying and powerful strength with just a slight perception.
"This should be the senior array master, right? I am Xie Zhouhe, meet you." Xie Zhouhe said respectfully.
Zhou Daocheng nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "No need to be polite. I came here to build the market. I wonder how you are preparing?"
Xie Zhouhe hurriedly replied: "I have contacted several leaders of the ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators. They are almost all here. Please move over and talk."
Xie Zhouhe did not say much, and took Zhou Daocheng and the other two to a cave in the cliff.
The interior was very spacious, inlaid with bright night pearls, and there were already 5 people sitting inside. Their auras were all extremely heavy, and they were all powerful people at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Including Xie Zhouhe and Zhou Daocheng, there were nine Qi Refining Level 9 masters present.
As the organizer, Xie Zhouhe naturally took the initiative to introduce the three people.
When they learned that Zhou Daocheng was a formation master, everyone's eyes changed. They all took a deep look at the man in purple robes and bronze masks, and a hint of fear emerged.
At the same time, their attitudes became more respectful.
The strength of the formation master itself is not weak, much stronger than the alchemist and the refiner, and the identity of the formation master alone is enough to make everyone put down their posture and make friends.
Everyone present, as a senior casual cultivator, naturally knows how much their own strength will be improved if they have a set of formations!
Moreover, putting aside personal strength and status, there are two other Qi Refining Level 9 masters standing behind this person, and their strength is definitely the strongest among them.
Among the crowd, there was an old man, and when he saw Meng Yueshan and Lin Yuan behind Zhou Daocheng, his eyes suddenly changed slightly.
Meng Yueshan and Lin Yuan also noticed the gazes, smiled and walked forward to pay their respects, and said respectfully: "Junior Meng Yueshan (Lin Yuan) greets Elder Wei."
This scene drew everyone's attention away from Zhou Daocheng, and they looked at the three curiously.
In theory, the three of them were all at the ninth level of Qi Refining, so how could they be called seniors?
After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, the age difference between cultivators is quite large, so the seniority is only determined by strength, and the secular world is not used at all.
But when the old man spoke, everyone immediately understood.
"Little Meng and Xiaolin? I didn't expect you to have broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining?"
Meng Yueshan smiled and said, "It was just luck."
The old man called Wei Lao patted the two people's shoulders gently, his face full of emotion, and said, "When you joined my hunting team, you were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and your strength was only the fifth level of Qi Refining!"
"Wei Lao, were these two people in your hunting team?"
"Yes, you should have seen them back then, but they were relatively weak at that time, so you may not have paid much attention. Later, after reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining, they left separately."
Wei Lao explained, and everyone present completely let down their guard.
After all, if it was really as Wei Lao said, then Meng Yueshan and Lin Yuan were also innocent people.
Xie Zhouhe also smiled and said, "Since everyone knows each other, I won't introduce them too much, and I hope our subsequent conversation will go smoothly."
After hearing this, everyone found a seat and sat down, and officially began to discuss the plan to build a miniature market, which was the focus of today.
Xie Zhouhe said, "You all probably know the situation. Baihe Market is controlled by various forces. They buy monster materials at low prices and sell cultivation resources at high prices. Under such oppression, we have been unable to make ends meet. This is why we are gathered here."
A rough man snorted angrily and echoed, "Fellow Daoist Xie is right. They are really too much. A bottle of first-level medium-grade rejuvenation pill actually wants 200 spirit stones from me. Why don't they just rob it?"
"Indeed, although prices fluctuated before, they were barely within the acceptable range. This time it is really too much."
Old Wei also said, "My magic weapon is damaged, and I dare not go to Baihe Market to recast it. Now I rely on a first-level medium-grade magic weapon to hunt monsters."
"..."
Everyone complained and anger appeared on their faces.
The burly man said indignantly: "Baihe Market is really a small market, which has been messed up by various foundation-building forces. If it were in Luyuan Market, would these beasts dare to do it?!"
"Alas, there is no need to say more. Baihe Market is located on the eastern edge and is not taken seriously. It is helpless to have such a situation."
"Humph, so when Fellow Daoist Xie proposed to build a new market, Yuan immediately agreed to come." The burly man said in a loud and majestic voice.
"Fellow Daoist Xie, tell me about your plan. If it is really possible to realize it, I, Yuan Zhong, will be the first to agree!"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Xie Zhouhe took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I have discussed with Fellow Daoist Meng before. If we want to build a micro-market, we must first have a strong person to take the lead. We are already in progress. If it goes well, we will be the founders of this micro-market."
Everyone nodded slightly. The influence of several of them among the casual cultivators was not low, and they were indeed qualified to be the founders.
Xie Zhouhe continued: "Secondly, we need to find an area suitable for building a market town, and then the formation master will set up the formation to ensure the safety of the market town."
The overall plan is actually very simple, even so simple that it only takes two steps!
However, everyone present was still in deep thought.
The old voice of Wei Lao slowly sounded: "Now it seems that the most troublesome formation has been solved. The only thing we need to do is to find an area suitable for building a market town."
"Yes, as long as these preparations are completed, the subsequent construction of the market town will be much easier." Xie Zhouhe said.
"Everyone, think about it, is there any area suitable for building a market town in the surrounding area?" Meng Yueshan looked at everyone and asked.
