SFS Chapter 39 Spirit Beast Mountain Market
Chapter 39 Spirit Beast Mountain Market
Logically speaking, Qin Fang, who had traveled a long way to this place, should have followed the example of his "predecessors"... at least he shouldn't have dressed so conspicuously.
There were many people coming and going in the market, and almost everyone could recognize Qin Fang as being from Huangfeng Valley at a glance!
The bright yellow disciple's robe was simply too eye-catching.
"If it weren't for..."
Qin Fang stood before the palace gate, muttering to himself.
If it weren't for his cheap master, Li Huayuan, inexplicably taking him as a disciple, Qin Fang wouldn't have dared to leave Huangfeng Valley even a step before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
Although even within the sect, it wouldn't be difficult for Li Huayuan to harm a Qi Refining cultivator if he really wanted to, it would still add a bit of hesitation.
Unfortunately……
What puzzled Qin Fang was that a full three years had passed until he stole Han Li's Foundation Establishment Pill and successfully established his foundation.
Li Huayuan, his master at the Core Formation stage, seemed to have completely forgotten his existence, never appearing before him.
Therefore, after breaking through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he even waited for a while within the sect, dealing with some sect affairs and waiting for Li Huayuan to "reveal his hand".
But... I didn't get to see it!
After a while, Qin Fang couldn't stay in Huangfeng Valley forever. Unless he wanted to stay at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he would have to go out.
The reason for coming to the Spirit Beast Mountain Market was also very simple and direct.
He wanted to buy a spirit pet, such as a python or snake, to carry the turbid dragon bloodline of the black dragon.
Unless he doesn't want to cultivate the "Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridians Technique", he must first possess a spirit beast!
Throughout the entire Yue Kingdom, when it comes to controlling beasts and insects, the strongest sect is undoubtedly Spirit Beast Mountain.
In Huangfeng Valley, Qin Fang did inquire about it.
There are indeed spirit pythons and spirit snakes within the sect, but unfortunately their cultivation levels are too low, mostly equivalent to the early or middle stages of Qi Refining, which is really unsuitable for his 'identity'.
"Hey you! If you want to come in, then come in! What are you doing blocking the shop?"
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind Qin Fang.
Hearing the sound...
Qin Fang turned around.
Zhong Wu's face still showed some impatience, but his expression changed instantly when he saw Qin Fang's face clearly!
Qin Fang had left a very deep impression on Zhong Wu back in the Crimson Forbidden Land! Therefore, Zhong Wu's expression changed drastically immediately.
Immediately...
As if recalling his recent successful advancement to the Foundation Establishment stage, Zhong Wu felt a surge of anger and embarrassment.
Just as Zhong Wu was about to reprimand him again, he subconsciously released a wisp of his divine sense...
"Fellow Daoist, how have you been?"
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your successful advancement to Foundation Establishment! You now have a real chance of achieving immortality!"
"I didn't know you were here..."
Zhongwu immediately smiled and said.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong still has the same fiery temper as always..."
"I have come to your territory to purchase your sect's specialties."
Qin Fang cupped his hands slightly in greeting. After all, this was the territory of the Spirit Beast Mountain, and he needed to be more humble.
"specialty?"
"Fellow Daoist, are you here to buy a spirit beast?!"
Zhong Wu was clearly somewhat surprised.
"What? Is there something wrong with this?!"
"I have only recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and I am still quite unfamiliar with the rules of the Spirit Beast Mountain Market."
Qin Fang spoke.
"No, no..."
"However... never mind! Fellow Daoist, please come inside the shop with me for a talk."
After waving his hand and speaking, Zhongwu seemed to have thought of something, so he reached out to Qin Fang, intending to lead him into the "Lingyuan Pavilion".
"This shop?"
"This is where my father makes a living in the market..."
"I see, fellow Daoist, please~"
"Please~"
After saying that, Qin Fang followed Zhong Wu's footsteps and walked towards the shop's entrance.
As he walked, Qin Fang glanced briefly at the rotating platform.
[Tradeable Target: Zhong Wu (Early Foundation Establishment Stage), 1 meter distance.]
[Tradable secondhand items: Special Nectar (Kan)! Five-Bend Spirit Bee Pupae! Pangolin Scale Python Essence Blood!]
It displays information about Zhongwu.
Unlike the Qi Refining stage, after Qin Fang advanced to the early Foundation Establishment stage, some changes also occurred on the Zhuanzhuan second-hand platform.
The tradable area remains unchanged, still within one kilometer.
Furthermore, the number of tradable secondhand items remains at three, contrary to Qin Fang's initial expectation of adding one or two more tradable options.
The only difference...
The target's specific cultivation level will be clearly displayed on the panel.
Qin Fang had tried it; even cultivators in the early Core Formation stage who were a whole major realm above him would have their specific cultivation level marked as long as they appeared within the range.
However, Qin Fang did not yet know whether cultivators at the mid-stage of Core Formation or higher could still have their specific cultivation level detected.
The reason is quite simple...
After he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he only encountered a sect elder in the early Core Formation stage from afar in Yellow Maple Valley.
As for those with even higher cultivation levels, he hasn't encountered them yet, so he naturally doesn't know if he can accurately determine their cultivation level.
However, even so, it was already a huge improvement for Qin Fang.
At least within a kilometer of him, anyone whose cultivation level is no higher than the early stage of Core Formation will be detected by him immediately!
...Lingyuanxuan.
As soon as Qin Fang sat down, a servant dressed in brightly colored clothes immediately served him fragrant tea.
"Brother Zhongwu, your family background is extraordinary! You even have disciples from the Spirit Beast Mountain serving as servants in your shop."
Qin Fang remained unmoved by the tea on the table. The methods of the Spirit Beast Mountain were unpredictable, and he dared not drink other people's tea casually.
"Sigh~"
"Brother Qin, you jest! My father is merely an ordinary steward in the Spirit Beast Mountain..."
"All of this is just to provide some sect disciples with some income."
Zhongwu picked up the tea and drank it. Although he seemed indifferent to Qin Fang's words, his expression betrayed him.
"Is that so...?"
"By the way, what did Brother Zhong say earlier?"
A strange light flashed in Qin Fang's eyes. Back in the forbidden area, he hadn't exchanged names with Zhong Wu. It was clear that... after Zhong Wu came out of the forbidden area, he must have deliberately inquired about him.
But none of that matters anymore. In Zhongwu's eyes, he is definitely a top contender for Huangfeng Valley, so it's perfectly normal for him to inquire about him a little.
The most important thing right now is... purchasing a spirit beast.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Qin, you're referring to the purchase of spirit beasts, aren't you?"
"This time... I'm afraid you'll have to leave disappointed."
Zhongwu said with a faint smile.
"oh?!"
"Isn't Spirit Beast Mountain the best at breeding spirit beasts?"
"Logically speaking, there should be spirit beasts for sale in the markets under the jurisdiction of Spirit Beast Mountain..."
Qin Fang was surprised.
Spirit Beast Mountain is extremely far from the Yellow Maple Valley sect. Hopefully, this trip wasn't a complete waste!
"Brother Qin, you may not know this..."
"If Fellow Daoist Qin only wants to buy a few level-one spirit beasts for guarding his home, there are plenty of them in this market!"
"However, fellow Daoist, you've come all this way, surely you couldn't have come just for a level one demonic beast?"
"They're probably here for spirit beasts of level two or higher, whose strength is comparable to that of Foundation Establishment cultivators like us, aren't they?!"
Zhongwu spoke.
"But there aren't any spirit beasts of level two or higher in this market..."
Zhongwu put down the now empty teacup in his hand.
