Bartering

  Mo Tian Ge thus stayed at Bi Xuan Pavilion from then on.

  Weihao Lan, although quite cunning, is being treated relatively well for now. Not only were two female cultivators assigned to take care of her daily needs, but also a considerable amount of Lingguo and other special products from the East Sea were sent over for her enjoyment.

  The second day after Mo Tian Ge moved into the VIP building of Bi Xuan Ge, there were constantly guests coming to visit. Xia Qing was a must-visit every day, dragging her to the alchemy room early in the morning to ask about alchemy techniques. When she returned from the alchemy room, there would always be other guests waiting for her. These guests were all female cultivators of Bi Xuan Ge's foundation-building stage, and when asked about their reasons, they all said that they had heard Mo Tian Ge came from Kun Wu and wanted to inquire about some things related to Kun Wu, and also exchange some items with her.

  Although Linhai is lacking in spiritual materials, it borders the East Sea after all. There are some special items in the sea that cannot be found on land. These things are not the main ingredients of Dan Yao, but they have special effects.

  These disciples of Bi Xuan Ge, it is said that only a few have the opportunity to be sent to Kun Wu or Zhong Tu to exchange materials, and most people will not have the chance to go to Kun Wu in their lifetime. So even if they get some rare materials for inland cultivators, they can only hold them in their hands. Now hearing that there are fellow Taoist cultivators from Kun Wu, they all took out what was in their hands and came to exchange with Mo Tian Ge for things like Dan Yao Ling Cao or magical instruments.

  Moyin Song Dan was not lacking in either spiritual energy or magical tools. Although she wasn't a ruthless killer, many cultivators had died by her side since the chaos of the demonic beasts began. Some were killed by her, while others simply had bad luck and died beside her.

  She had obtained quite a few magical tools from those hapless cultivators, but since she didn't lack spirit stones in her daily life, she hadn't taken them out to exchange for money. Now, she took them out and exchanged them with these female cultivators for some strange materials - of course, the things she had obtained from Yan Ruo Shu's three people, she wouldn't take out.

  "Senior Ye."

  Mó Tiān Gē was cultivating when she suddenly heard a voice outside. She pressed her brow and emerged from the Void Sky Realm, opening her defensive array: "What is it?"

  Outside were Wei Hao and Lan Mo, her two Qi-refining female cultivators, who were a pair of sisters named Yi Liu and Yi Qiu.

  In Bi Xuan Ge, low-ranking male cultivators did some more arduous and miscellaneous chores. Tasks like this that required close attendance were done by maidservants.

  Yi Liu and Yi Qiu were said to have poor spiritual roots, so they were initially taken in as maids. Of course, in a female sect like Bi Xuan Ge, their status was much higher than that of low-ranking male cultivators. The sisters were diligent and worked hard serving the Sect Leader, and Wei Hao Lan often showed them favor. They had already reached the Qi Refining stage. If they could obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, perhaps they would be able to ascend to a higher level in one step.

  The thought of Ah Nong, the little girl I met in the fishing village, if she also worked hard like this, perhaps there's still hope for her to ascend to immortality.

  Upon hearing the sound of the flute, in came Yi Liu. She bowed respectfully and said: "Elder Ye, the Secret Treasure Pavilion is currently holding an exchange meeting. The sect leader heard that Elder Ye often exchanges items with the sect's senior uncles and has specially sent someone to invite you."

  "Bartering?" Mo Tian Ge was shocked. Of course, she had heard of bartering, in the immortal world, besides opening shops and stalls, there were also bartering auctions, but the latter was generally used by high-level cultivators.

  The higher the cultivation base, the higher the requirements for spiritual materials. Ordinary shops are mostly opened by low-level cultivators, so how can they have these things? Therefore, some powerful shops will hold auctions to sell rare materials at the best price, and exchange meetings also arose from this.

  But Bi Xuan Ge doesn't have that many high-ranking cultivators, it's completely possible to set up a sect store like the Xuan Qing Sect, and let the disciples collect and sell items. There's no need for any exchange meetings.

  But then, Mo Tian Ge thought again, in this coastal area where spiritual materials are scarce and high-level cultivators are few, it's not unusual for foundation-building cultivators to exchange some rare items.

  "Ye Xianbei?" Seeing Mo Tian Ge hadn't responded, Yi Liu called out again.

  "Oh." Mo Tian Ge snapped back to reality, "Then lead the way, and by the way, tell me what's going on with this exchange."

  "Yes." Led by Mo Tian Ge, they left the VIP building. Yi Liu said while leading the way, "This exchange meeting is held every few months. Ye Senior also knows that our coastal cultivation resources are not many, especially Dan medicine, good alchemists are rare, and we lack many spiritual herbs. Fortunately, we are close to the East Sea, where there are many demon beasts in the sea, and their demon cores can be taken directly, so..."

  "Can the You Dan be taken directly?" Mo Tian Ge interrupted Hui Liu's words and asked.

  "Does Senior Ye not know? However, when taking the demon pellet, one must use special methods to dissolve the spiritual energy within. Moreover, different demon pellets contain different spiritual energies, so it's necessary to exchange them for what one needs."

  "......I see." Mo Tian Ge was deep in thought. In Kun Wu, the demon pellets were originally used for refining pills. Every few decades, when a demonic beast went berserk, the obtained demonic beast corpse could be used to refine equipment, while the demon pellets were used to refine pills. The demon pellets contained strange powers, and if taken directly, it was possible to cause the consequence of going mad from excessive energy. Even if one didn't go mad, it would still cause their own spiritual energy to become mixed with too many impurities.

  But I didn't expect that Lin Hai would actually have a direct method of using the demon pill, this is quite valuable, maybe it can be used to come up with some new ways of using the demon pill, and better utilize its power.

  "Senior Ye, we've arrived." Yu Liu led her to a building and pointed at the attic, saying "It's just up there, Senior. You can go up by yourself, I'm not skilled enough to accompany you further."

  "Alright, thank you very much."

  "I don't dare." Yi Liu nodded and went to stand beside the disciple guarding the door.

  Mo Tian Ge went upstairs alone.

  This attic is as big as a side hall, with a long table in the middle. More than 20 monks are already seated beside it. They are all foundation cultivators, surprisingly including both men and women.

  Mo Tian Ge was somewhat surprised, since coming to Bi Xuan Ge, the male cultivators he had seen hadn't even reached the foundation building stage, most were just low-level cultivators who had only refined their Qi for two or three layers. Among the twenty or so foundation building cultivators in front of him, there were actually five or six male cultivators, which was quite a few.

  She thought for a moment, this Bi Xuan Ge is not without male cultivators, she had also inquired about it, if the male cultivator has extraordinary talent, they can be taken as outer sect disciples. After dual cultivation with female disciples within the sect, they can become formal disciples. Looking at these few male cultivators, each of them has a relatively intimate female cultivator by their side, presumably they are all dual cultivation partners?

  As soon as she came up, Wei Hao Lan, who was sitting in the main seat, immediately revealed a smile and personally went forward to greet her: "Ye Dao You, you've finally arrived."

  Mo Tian Ge smiled back at her and returned the courtesy, then turned around and bowed to everyone else.

  As she curtsied, the monks sitting at the long table stood up one after another and returned her courtesy.

  Weihao Lan pulled Mo Tian Ge's hand, returned to the main seat, and directly let Mo Tian Ge sit beside her. She smiled: "Ye Dao You don't have to be restrained, today everyone here is a disciple of my Bixuan Pavilion, it's just an internal exchange meeting." Then she turned her head to say to everyone, "Fellow disciples, this is Ye Dao You from Kunwu, Ye Dao You is skilled in alchemy. If you have anything you want to exchange, seize the opportunity."

  Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze fell upon Mo Tian Ge. A female cultivator even chuckled and said: "Ye Daoist friend, today you can't be stingy. We're all counting on your elixir."

  During this time, Mo Tian Ge had seen quite a few female cultivators from Bi Xuan Ge. These people were basically all here, so among the female cultivators present, she recognized over ten of them. At this moment, she also smiled and said: "I've never been stingy before, fellow daoists want to exchange, as long as I have it, I absolutely won't hide it."

  Everyone present couldn't help but smile when they heard this. If there's anything special about today's exchange, it would be Ye Daoyou from Kunwu. The others are all cultivators from Bixuan Pavilion, and their hands are roughly the same, but Ye Daoyou is a Dan-refining master. No matter how good the demonic dan is, it can't compare to dan of the same rank. At this moment, everyone began to think about what they had in hand that could be exchanged for some dan, and how much they could exchange.

  Wei Hao Lan swept his gaze over the people present and said, "Alright, now that almost everyone is here, let's get started."

  Everyone who was chatting stopped talking when they heard her voice.

  Wei Hao Lan smiled slightly and said: "Originally, according to the rules, we would have taken turns from left to right one by one, but today we have a distinguished guest, so let's start with our distinguished guest instead. Does anyone have any objections?"

  This time at the exchange meeting, most people came for Mo Tian Ge, who would have any opinion, now dozens of pairs of eyes are all staring at Mo Tian Ge.

  Seeing this, Wei Hao Lan smiled again: "It seems that everyone has no objection, then it's settled. Let's start with Ye Dao You." Turning to Mo Tian Ge, "Ye Dao You, you also know we all want to trade Dan Yao with you, how many Dan Yao can you take out for exchange?"

  Mó Tiān Gē thought for a moment, then began to take out dan yao from the Qian Kun bag. As one by one yu bottle was placed on the table, the eyes of the crowd of cultivators also became brighter and brighter.

  He brought out about a dozen jade bottles, and Mo Tian Ge stopped: "That's probably all. A few days ago, many of you fellow Taoists exchanged some away, these are the ones I temporarily refined."

  Even Wei Hao Lan's eyes lit up at the sight of over a dozen bottles of dan medicine. Even in Kunwu, dan medicine wasn't cheap; every year they would send disciples out to procure it, and even then, only a few foundation-building cultivators got to use it.

  "Yè Dàoyǒu," someone couldn't help but ask, "what are these medicinal pellets?"

  "This is the Pure Spirit Pill, this is the Nourishing Spirit Pill, this is the Clear Mind Pill, and this is the Stabilizing Facial Color Pill. The rest are all Cultivating Origin Pills, all of which can be taken by Foundation Building cultivators."

  These pellets were all made from ordinary spiritual grass bought at the Xuanqing Gate shop, and the previous temporary refining was just a story for those cultivators. She is only a foundation-building cultivator, even if she comes from a famous family and has alchemy skills, it's not suitable to take out too many pellets, especially those materials taken from the Void Sky Realm, can't be taken out to exchange with others.

  But for the disciples of Bi Xuan Ge who were trapped in Lin Hai, this was already more than enough.

  "Yè Dàoyǒu, what do you want to exchange?" She had just finished speaking when she hastily called out and took out a pile of things to display, "Look, I have all sorts of demon pellets here, as well as some special spiritual objects produced in the Eastern Sea. Is there anything you want?"

  Mó Tiān Gē laughed and said: "All of these are acceptable, but I only have this many elixirs, I'm afraid they won't be enough for all of you to exchange."

  "It's nothing." Wei Hao Lan said, "About how many elixirs does Ye Dao You have here?"

  "Hmm..." Mo Tian Ge roughly estimated that there were about ten to fifty pills in a bottle, "There are probably around three hundred pills."

  "Alright then, let's make a deal, each of you sisters can exchange for at most ten dan yao, how about that?"

  There were more than 20 people in total, with each person getting about 10 pieces, which was just enough to exchange all the dan yao.

  Everyone has their own thoughts on this matter, and most people agree with it. However, some have differing opinions: "What if there's a surplus?"

  Wei Hao Lan smiled and said: "If there's more, I'll represent the sect to exchange it, and then distribute it to each of you sisters, how about that?"

  First update, back after a shower, everyone bless me with good condition today, writing until sleep...
