Chapter 152: Trade Fair Begins
Mirror Snow Pavilion’s giant Magic Ship, like a Primal Beast, slowly ascended into the high sky, then suddenly accelerated, transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into the sky.
In the pavilion on the Magic Boat.
โGreetings, Fellow Daoist Qin!โ
โGreetings, Guest Elder Qin!โ
Inside a luxuriously decorated Private Room, the High-Level figures of Tianhe Marketplace Mirror Snow Pavilion’s branch were all present.
โFellow Daoist Qin! Let me introduce you, this is this Pavilion’s Li Mu, Protector Li, you two should not have met before.โ Aunt Long, after welcoming Fellow Daoist Qin into the room, began to introduce him.
A middle-aged Cultivator with a square face, in his forties, stood up from his seat, cupped hands towards Qin Ming, and greeted, “Fellow Daoist Qin, I have long admired your Great Name!”
Qin Ming also politely returned a Bow, “Greetings, Fellow Daoist Li.”
He glanced around the room; of all the Cultivators from Mirror Snow Pavilion who were going to Thousand Leaves Island this time, Li Mu, who had just spoken, had the highest Cultivation, being at the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage.
There were three other Early Foundation Establishment Cultivators, including Aunt Long.
One Mid Foundation Establishment, plus three Early Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators escorting the Magic Boat, it was quite a luxurious Lineup.
Moreover, Qin Ming had just secretly observed Protector Li Mu, whose Magical Power Aura was profound, and was definitely not an Ordinary Mid Foundation Establishment, whose Strength should not be weak.
Everyone exchanged greetings, and began to take their seats to savor tea and communicate.
After several hours.
The speed of the Magic Boat gradually began to slow down.
Aunt Long stood by the window and looked outside for a moment, and then said, “Thousand Leaves Island has arrived, everyone prepare.”
Qin Ming heard this and also went over to take a look. He saw a giant Spirit Island appeared below the Magic Boat, its Scale was dozens of times larger than his Moonview Island, and the Islands kept getting bigger in his Field of Vision.
Thousand Leaves Island had originally undergone the Baptism of War, and became riddled with holes, but after this period of repair and Recovery, it had almost returned to its Original Appearance.
Qin Ming walked to the deck outside, and from above, looked down at the entire Island. First, what entered his eyes were the towering and majestic Thousand Leaves Mountains.
Where Sea of Clouds churned, Immortal Cranes and Spirit Birds constantly flew over the mountains, as if in an Immortal Realm.
Outside of the Spirit Island, was enveloped by a layer of a huge Light Screen that radiated Azure Light, with Runes flowing inside, which was obviously the Third-Order Great Formation that Nie Clan had set up on the Island after their Take Office.
The Great Formation contrasted with the Clouds and Mist of the distant Sky, giving off the Rosy Clouds.
Countless Magic Boats, large and small, constantly flew past, with different forms, and the Banners representing Various Parties waved in the wind on the Masts.
Such a Spectacular Scene, as if a fairy spirit World, it was Joyful and Relaxed.
After Half an Incense Stick, Mirror Snow Pavilion’s Magic Boat docked at the Harbor of Thousand Leaves Island.
โFellow Daoist Qin, let’s go down first, Protector Li and the others still have to supervise the handling of Goods and other matters.โ Aunt Long smiled slightly.
Qin Ming nodded and followed Aunt Long off the Magic Boat.
At the Harbor Entrance of Thousand Leaves Island, Guard were set up at the guard posts. A long Team of Cultivators were waiting in line to have their Invitations inspected and verify their Identity, to enter the Island.
Aunt Long led Qin Ming around these Teams, and entered through another Entrance, where there were only several guards who were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and there was no need to line up.
However, the inspection here was even stricter, not only was there a High Grade Formation to identify Disguises, but also a Spirit Dog Demonic Beast of the Foundation Establishment Stage, constantly sniffing the Aura on the Cultivators who came here.
After Aunt Long presented Mirror Snow Pavilion’s Invitation, an Old Man of Foundation Establishment stage, who was among the guards of Thousand Leaves Island, quickly and enthusiastically greeted, “Yo! It’s Fellow Daoist Long of Mirror Snow Pavilion, please, come in!”
After saying that, his Gaze fell on Qin Ming beside him, a hint of Shock first passed over the Old Man’s face, and then a look of Surprise appeared, and he cupped hands towards Qin Ming, “Island Master Qin has also come! It is an Honor!”
Qin Ming also handed over the Invitation, a Smile on his face, “Haha! I also heard that Thousand Leaves Island was holding a Grand Gathering, and in my Free Time, I came over to join in the fun.”
โIsland Master Qin is a well-known Spirit Plant Master in the Spirit Dwelling Group, of course you are welcome.โ
The Foundation Establishment Old Man personally took Qin Ming and the two of them into the Island.
They came all the way to an open Valley Inside, where many buildings, large and small, had been built, which should be the venue for this Trade Fair.
In the very middle was a huge Plaza that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, and there were also seats and stands.
The Nie Clan’s Old Man led the two of them into a Villa in the Valley Inside, presumably this would be Mirror Snow Pavilion’s temporary Headquarters for the next few days.
Afterwards, the Old Man also gave them some notes, and specifically mentioned the Forbidden Land where they were forbidden to enter on the Island.
Qin Ming and Aunt Long entered this Villa arranged by Nie Clan. Inside, there were lush green plants, ponds, artificial mountains, and the garden landscaping was unique and the Environment was Quiet.
From time to time, Simple Pavilions and Towers, and exquisite stone carvings, wood carvings came into view.
Outside the Villa was a row of Shops for external purposes, for Transactions of Goods.
โFellow Daoist Qin, you should rest in your Room first, or you can go outside and take a look around first, I will go and see the situation with the Goods.โ Aunt Long said to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming nodded, “Fellow Daoist Long, you can go and get busy first.”
After Aunt Long left, Qin Ming went out alone and observed the Surroundings.
Everyone from Mirror Snow Pavilion also began to get busy, placing all the Goods into the Shops that were next to the street.
After a Half Day.
In the Valley Inside of Thousand Leaves Island, all the Shops began to Open to the public.
Qin Ming stood on the Stone Slab road outside, looking at the Crowd, and the closely spaced Shops, and could not help but sigh, โThe Alliance and Nie Clan really have a good Gesture, this is even more Lively than the previous Qingyang Marketplace.โ
After the Spirit Island Clan, and Various Parties who were invited, entered, the Valley Inside presented a scene of a sea of people, and the Merchants and Guests gathering.
“Yo ho! Come and take a look, take a look!”
“The Spirit Fish of the Bixui of Longkui Island, has an Effect for the Improvement of Qi Refining Magical Power oh, the Taste is extremely delicious.”
“The Talisman from Wan Family is on Special Sale! Quality is guaranteed, no deception for all ages!”
“What? The Wan Family is also here? Their Talismans are well-known, give me two!”
“Little Tuo Mountain Artificing Workshop, all kinds of Magic Tool are available, it is an essential good for travel and combat!”
“…”
Qin Ming also walked around the Valley Inside, and casually bought some things he liked.
These Transactions between the Spirit Islands, gathered a high degree of Popularity for the upcoming Trade Fair.
Noon.
Aunt Long notified Qin Ming to come over, the first day of the Trade Fair on Thousand Leaves Island was about to begin.
The Representatives of the major Spirit Island Clan and Powers were also already present, and took their seats in order around the seats of the central Plaza.
Qin Ming also came to Mirror Snow Pavilion’s Position, and casually chose a Chair and sat down.
He glanced around at the people present, and found that there were many Powerful individuals.
Among them, there were several Familiar figures, Huo Qianqiu of the Seventy-Two Island Alliance also came, and Qin Ming observed his Magical Power Aura, which was actually Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
