The largest black market near Guiyunfang is Bailong Mountain. Bailong Mountain is located more than a thousand miles northwest of Guiyunfang and is controlled by several foundation-building cultivators. The Bailong Mountain black market opens once a month. It is said that there are many things in it that cannot even be found in Guiyunfang. Many cultivators near Guiyunfang will go there to purchase spiritual objects.
After all, there are many shady things in the black market. The source of the items for sale is not taken into account. There are all kinds of people there, from independent cultivators to robbers. It has always been despised by famous and upright sects. The Xiaoyao Sect also expressly prohibits its monks from going to such places.
"Senior Shi, when I was in the market, I heard from a friend that there were Foundation Establishment Pills being sold on the black market near Guiyunfang. Do you know whether it is true or not? Are there such spiritual objects on the Bailong Mountain black market?" Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set up, Song Qingming asked with a little intention.
"Foundation Building Pill? I don't know if this kind of spiritual item is real or not. I've heard people say that there was an auction of Foundation Building Pills at Bailong Mountain before, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I don't know if it's true or not. A lot of this kind of news is deliberately spread by those people to attract cultivators. Even if there is, it has nothing to do with us, right?"
Shi Mofeng was also a little surprised when he heard Song Qingming asking about the Foundation Establishment Pill. He looked at Song Qingming meaningfully. In the eyes of a casual cultivator like him, it was unlikely that he would even be able to smell the scent of such a spiritual object as the Foundation Establishment Pill in this lifetime. He never thought that Song Qingming would actually ask him about the news of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Seeing Shi Mofeng was a little confused, Song Qingming quickly explained: "I just heard about it and asked casually. I think the news must be false. Hey, I thought I would be lucky enough to see the Foundation Establishment Pill."
"That's hard to say. You might have this opportunity when you're still young. However, if you want to know where to find Foundation Establishment Pills near Guiyunfang, then it's only possible to find them in Bailong Mountain. But strangers are not welcome in the black market. If you want to go, you can ask Feng Laogui from the team to take you there and let him be your guide. We all ask him to lead the way when we want to go there. He's familiar with the place and goes there at least two or three times a year. It's safer with him. You have to be very careful in places like that. Many wanted criminals in the market will be there, and you can easily be targeted if you're not careful. Feng Laogui may be a bit stingy, but he's also very righteous. As long as you don't treat him badly, your safety won't be a big problem."
Song Qingming nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said, "Thank you for your advice, Senior. I will be careful if I go there in the future."
The old ghost Feng mentioned by Shi Mofeng is a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining in the team. He got this title just because he looks ugly. However, this guy has very powerful gold-attribute skills and a puppet to help him in battle. His combat power is quite good and sometimes he even dares to fight with high-level monsters.
In Song Qingming's eyes, he had a good impression of Feng Laogui. This person was indeed a bit petty in character. However, during one of his missions, Song Qingming encountered several mid-level monsters chasing him, and Feng Laogui happened to be nearby. The Feiyun Guards were equipped with some spiritual objects for help. Once they were entangled by monsters during the mission, they could release these distress signals, and fellow travelers nearby would have to come to the rescue after seeing them.
Seeing Song Qingming send out a message for help, Feng Laogui, who was closest to him, was the first to rush to the scene. The two of them managed to escape after a little effort. Afterwards, Song Qingming came to thank him. Feng Laogui insisted that Song Qingming compensate him with two talismans, saying that he used them to speed up his journey in order to save Song Qingming. Song Qingming had no choice but to give them to him. Although he knew that this might be Feng Laogui's nonsense, he still saved him once after all. A few talismans were not as important to Song Qingming as his own safety.
Shi Mofeng and Song Qingming chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late outside, Song Qingming had nothing more to ask, so he stood up and said goodbye. But when he reached the door, he stopped.
"Friend Song, I heard you're a formation master. I was refining a robe a while ago, but I haven't found a formation master to help me draw the formations. If you have time, I'd like to ask you to help draw one or two formations on it. Don't worry, the reward will definitely not be lower than what you can get in the market."
"Senior Shi has helped me solve many problems today. How can I dare to ask for a reward for such a small matter? I will do my best to draw the magic circle. Please rest assured, Senior."
After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out a bag of spiritual tea and stuffed it into Shi Mofeng's hand. Having heard so much information from this old man today, Song Qingming naturally didn't want to take advantage of him for nothing.
After listening to this, Shi Mofeng nodded with a smile, and then left Song Qingming with satisfaction.
On the second day, the old man Shi really sent a robe over. The robe was shining with golden light and was obviously a top-grade robe. Song Qingming did not expect that the old man Shi, who was not good-looking and handled things smoothly, was actually a top-grade weapon refiner. He was also a little surprised.
I immediately looked at him with a new respect, a little more respect for him. Being a top-grade weapon refiner is a very popular skill even among the Feiyun Guards.
At first, Song Qingming only knew that he was a weapon refiner, but he didn't expect that his weapon refining skills were so high.
These people hang out in the Floating Cloud Mountains where monsters roam every day. Although it is clearly stipulated by their superiors that in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, they are only responsible for collecting information about monsters and are forbidden to take the initiative to attack monsters, so as not to attract second-level monsters to harass the camp.
However, most of the Feiyun Guards did not take this rule seriously. Some of them would often attack monsters directly outside the camp. Among the monster materials obtained, weapon refiners and talisman makers would be most useful.
Team leaders like Lu Yunfei turned a blind eye to these things. As long as they didn't attract monsters to attack the camp, they didn't bother to care about these things.
Song Qingming has been here for two months and has received a lot of essence and blood from mid-level monsters. Unfortunately, he had no idea about these situations when he came here, and had not made any preparations in this regard. He did not bring any blank talisman paper with him, and he could not receive such things in this place.
The Feiyun Guards rotate at least every three months. Even if he wants to return to Guiyunfang, he has to wait another month. During these two months, he, a mid-level talisman maker, has been completely useless.
It was for this reason that Song Qingming readily agreed to let Shi Mofeng help him draw the magic circle on his robes.
Drawing a magic circle on the robe is like drawing a spell into a talisman. Embedding the original spell into these magic tools in the form of a magic circle can allow these magic tools to have some spells that can be released automatically, thus enhancing the effects of these magic tools. However, these are mostly small and common spells, and the improvement to the magic tools is very limited.
It took Song Qingming three days to finally complete the drawing of the magic circle on Shi Mofeng's robes. This time, Song Qingming drew a total of two low-grade magic circles. One was the "Water Avoidance Technique", which only had some auxiliary effects. It could allow the monks wearing the robes to automatically block rain and walk in the water without getting their clothes wet.
There is also a "golden light shield" that can automatically release a golden light shield to block one damage when encountering a sneak attack. However, the grade of this spell is not high and can only resist the offensive spells of the early stage of Qi Refining. When encountering opponents in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining, the light shield can only play a delaying role, giving the owner of the robe more time to react.
In recent years, Song Qingming's formation level has also improved greatly. After comprehending the Liu family's formation classics, Song Qingming's formation level is on the verge of a breakthrough. After another year or two of consolidation, he will be confident of becoming a mid-grade formation master. Now, drawing two low-grade formations is not a difficult task for him.
