Chapter 27: Bad News

Inside the Venue.

Along with the appearance of the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

The atmosphere of the auction instantly reached its peak.

After several rounds of intense and unusual bidding.

Ultimately, at a high price of four thousand five hundred Spirit Stones per Marrow Cleansing Pill, it was acquired by three Late Qi Refining cultivators.

Even Gu Qingzhao rarely showed a smile.

She exchanged greetings with Su Yuqing in the Private Room, and then went out to handle the follow-up matters.

After it was over.

Qin Ming and Su Yuqing immediately said Farewell and Left.

After this Experience, Qin Ming became more and more interested in Alchemy.

Su Yuqing, from this Auction alone, after deducting the auction house’s Procedures fees, earned more than ten thousand Spirit Stones.

‘Next time, I must succeed in Alchemy!’

Qin Ming muttered in his Heart.

“Brother Su, didn’t you say you would help me plant Spirit Plants this year, and you could also Agree to a matter for me?”

“I don’t know… If I want to borrow your Alchemy Room to practice Alchemy, is that possible…?” Qin Ming stammered out his request.

After all.

This involved the other party’s Privacy, his request.

It was really a bit Presumptuous.

Su Yuqing was taken aback upon hearing this, sized up Qin Ming for a moment, and smiled, “Brother Qin, you are truly not going to give up until you’ve hit the wall.”

“I’ll give you a hint, this Alchemy, the first thing is Talent, and the most important thing is the cultivator’s own Soul Power!”

“During the Alchemy Process, you always need to multitask, use two, three or more tasks, just the Fire Control technique and the Fusion of Medicine Embryos, without the support of a Powerful Soul, it will be difficult to continue.”

“Alchemy, Talent determines the upper limit, otherwise it’s just a waste of time.”

Qin Ming’s eyes brightened when he heard the other party say this!

Soul Power can also be enhanced, can’t it…

For him, just work hard at Farming!

“I’ll try again, and if I haven’t achieved anything in this field within this year, then I’ll give up.”

Qin Ming said to Su Yuqing like this.

“Alright then, since I Agreed.”

“Naturally, my word is my bond, as long as I’m not using the Alchemy Room, you can use it.”

“Anyway… I won’t be staying here for long.”

Su Yuqing raised his head, looked at the distance, and said slowly.

Qin Ming’s expression showed great delight upon hearing this.

‘I can also Free Ride on this Earth Fire Vein.’

As the two were talking.

Above Qingyang Marketplace, a shadow of a huge object suddenly covered it.

Qin Ming was surprised and looked up at the Sky.

A giant Magic Boat, Hundred Zhang long, entered his Vision, and there were also three floors of exquisite and magnificent Houses built on the Magic Boat.

At first glance, including the Internal Cabin, there must be at least several thousand Rooms.

The Magic Boat, with its huge Size, was like a Primal Beast, with a magnificent Aura, showing the Foundation of a sect.

Moment.

All the cultivators in the Marketplace also noticed this Situation.

They all looked up.

Everyone was in Shock.

Qin Ming had already known about this from Shopkeeper Liao, his expression was calm, and there wasn’t much Change on his face.

“Look!”

“Even the Spirit Feather Sect’s Du Yuan Magic Boat has come!”

“Are we going to have another Incident?”

……

Su Yuqing, looking at the Sky, also revealed a Thoughtful look.

The Spirit Feather Sect’s Du Yuan Magic Boat docked next to the Marketplace, and people began to emerge one after another from the boat.

The Leader was five Foundation Establishment Elders.

Behind them were four Inner Disciples wearing blue-bottomed, gold-threaded Magic Robes.

Each one was full of vigor, and they were emitting Magical Power Fluctuation of Late Qi Refining.

“Even the Core Disciples have been dispatched.”

“I’m afraid that Qingyang Marketplace is definitely going to have a Great Change.”

“What exactly happened?”

Among the Crowd of cultivators below the Marketplace, they began to become restless.

Qin Ming also had a serious Expression and fell into a Deep Thought.

Along with the arrival of the Spirit Feather Sect’s Elite cultivators.

Three days later.

Another huge Magic Boat, whose Level was not lower than the Spirit Feather Sect, docked near Qingyang Marketplace.

The banner representing “Golden Cloud Valley” was fluttering in the wind.

On the Magic Boat, there were all Golden Cloud Valley’s Elite cultivators wearing red Magic Robes.

After the people from Golden Cloud Valley arrived, they also began to build camps near the Marketplace.

For a time, the Number of People of cultivators in Qingyang Marketplace suddenly increased, it was overcrowded.

Even the Houses in the Shanty Town were all rented out.

Afterwards, the Spirit Feather Sect and Golden Cloud Valley simultaneously announced the formation of Allied Forces.

They would build a “Cloud Marsh Immortal City” at Five Peaks Mountain, five hundred miles away from Qingyang Marketplace.

This News caused an Uproar, and all kinds of Discussions followed.

Qin Ming was alone in the House, pondering his Plans.

Now that there were so many people in the Shanty Town, all sorts of people were Mixed.

Even though there was the Spirit Feather Sect’s Patrol Team, they couldn’t manage so many people at all.

All kinds of Murder and Treasure Incidents were about to start again.

Qin Ming’s current Strength, although he was no longer afraid of cultivators at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

But thinking that even Fellow Daoist Long, a Late Stage cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, was thrown into the River Channel.

There was still a Sense of Crisis.

Qin Ming started to cook Blood Locust Rice again, and according to the obtained Beast Skin Scripture, he began to cultivate the 《 Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture 》sixth level.

Late at night, the Cultivation ended.

The Qi and Blood in his body had grown a lot again.

“No, I still have to move to the Internal of the Marketplace.”

Qin Ming pondered for a Moment, and immediately sent a Voice Transmission Talisman to Shopkeeper Liao, asking him if there was any Method to get a Rent quota inside the Marketplace.

Soon.

Shopkeeper Liao responded.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, you also know the recent Situation.”

“Now, the price of the Houses in the Marketplace has increased several times, unless we wait for the Allied Forces of the Spirit Feather Sect and Golden Cloud Valley to build that Immortal City, otherwise, it is estimated that there will be no place for a while.”

“But… some time ago, I heard the people from the Spirit Feather Sect say something, Fellow Daoist Ruan’s Family Members had gone to the Deacon’s Hall and told them that Fellow Daoist Ruan’s Soul Lamp in his home had been extinguished.”

“The remaining Descendants of the Ruan Family couldn’t afford the subsequent Rent of the Courtyard, and had already Handled the procedures for the withdrawal of the Courtyard.”

“The quota for the Ruan Family’s Courtyard is now available.”

“I’ll inquire for you and see if there is a Possibility of getting it.”

Qin Ming pursed his Lips upon hearing this.

‘Isn’t this a coincidence? Fellow Daoist Ruan still sent himself on the road.’

‘It’s a case of a lucky mistake.’

Mid-April.

Qin Ming was working in the Spirit Field.

Elder Gu’s Magic Boat arrived above the Spirit Field.

Overseer Du Haifu also came along.

He gathered all the Spirit Farmers together.

Elder Gu’s stern Countenance, without any Affection, announced in a commanding Tone: “Due to the urgency on the Frontline, the Sect has sent a large number of reinforcements.”

“During the period before the Cloud Marsh Immortal City is built.”

“The Spirit Rice Taxes of all of your Spirit Farmers will be increased by another one tenth on the original basis.”

As soon as this News came out.

All the Spirit Farmers below were in an Uproar!

“Ah?! Add more?”

“That’s eight tenths Taxes!”

“Are we still allowed to live?!”

Old Nine Cai also stood beside Qin Ming, with a Gloomy and Miserable Appearance on his face.

“Alas, Brother Qin, how is this going to be?”

Qin Ming also frowned, this meant that although his Taxes had been reduced by half, they had to be increased again by one tenth.

That is a total of four tenths and five Spirit Rice Taxes.

He couldn’t help but Mutter:

‘The leeks are not cut like this! They haven’t even grown completely yet.’
