Chapter 106 My name is Qing Dali
Thunder Island is much smaller than Silver Sand Island, but it still covers an area of several thousand miles.
The island is mountainous with many hills and mountains, but also has vast plains.
"The spiritual veins on this island are quite good. Not only is the spiritual energy abundant, but there is also a small spirit stone mine that can produce mid-grade spirit stones."
Furthermore, the island is rich in several rare spiritual herbs, which are also quite valuable resources for cultivating immortality.
No wonder so many factions have joined forces to occupy this island.
Qingfeng flew to the shore of Leikong Island and recalled the information he had gathered earlier.
Compared to Silver Sand Island's structure of one Nascent Soul Grand Sect and multiple subordinate smaller sects, Thunder Sky Island is jointly owned by several forces.
"Let's go into the city and take a look. Now that we have some money, we can buy some rare medicinal herbs here to take back with us."
Qingfeng changed his attire, transforming from an ordinary-looking masked rogue cultivator into a nine-foot-tall muscular giant.
After re-disguising himself, he flew into the island.
On Leikong Island, nestled among several high mountains and hills, lies a plain with a small town on it.
The town is not large, only about ten miles in size.
Qingfeng flew to the vicinity of the small town, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he took in the entire town.
"This city looks like it hasn't been built for many years, and it's far less prosperous than the islands under the jurisdiction of the Star Palace."
It seems the forces here have no intention of developing this island.
Qingfeng had a pretty good grasp of the situation in the small town.
The small town has city gates on all four sides, but the cultivators entering and exiting through the city gates are all low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.
All cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage travel in and out directly by flying on their swords.
As a Core Formation cultivator, he naturally flew directly into the city.
After entering the city, Qingfeng headed straight for the south side, where the buildings were all multi-story pavilions, making them look different from other areas.
Qingfeng's elusive light landed on the street in front of these pavilions.
This caused some cultivators coming and going to quickly lower their heads and make way for them.
To low-level cultivators, the burly man that Qingfeng transformed into was a Core Formation expert.
"Lodging, selling religious artifacts, selling spiritual plants..."
Qingfeng strolled around the streets and quickly chose a shop with a sign that read "Fangcao Pavilion" and went inside.
Inside the shop, several rows of ebony shelves are neatly stacked with jade boxes of various colors.
An elderly man in the early stages of Foundation Establishment was standing behind the counter, settling the bill for a female cultivator in the Qi Refining stage.
Upon seeing Qingfeng, a Core Formation cultivator, enter, the old man quickly sent the female cultivator away and greeted her with a smile.
"It is an honor to have you here, senior! I am so sorry for not welcoming you properly! May I ask what you would like to do for me?"
This shop is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Gate on this island. While I wouldn't claim to have everything, I can find almost any spiritual herb produced within a thousand miles of Thunder Sky Island in this shop.
The elderly shopkeeper cupped his hands in greeting and introduced the background of the shop.
"Oh? Opening the Heavenly Gate?"
Upon hearing the name of this sect, Qingfeng looked puzzled.
Because the name of this sect sounds pretty awesome.
But there was no related detail in his memory.
"Hehe, are you a new cultivator who just arrived on Thunder Sky Island, senior?"
The old shopkeeper asked with a smile.
"Yes, I have only been on this island for a short time."
Qingfeng nodded.
"Senior, you may not know this, but Thunder Sky Island is jointly occupied by the Opening Heaven Gate, Yellow Sand Gate, Wooden Sword Pavilion, Heavenly Mystery Gate, and four major families..."
The old shopkeeper explained the various forces on the island one by one.
Among them, those who opened the Heavenly Gate included an ancestor at the early Nascent Soul stage.
The other forces, apart from the Wooden Sword Pavilion which also had a Nascent Soul cultivator nearing death, were all sects and families at the late Core Formation stage.
In short, what Qingfeng understood was that opening the Heavenly Gate was incredibly powerful.
"Shopkeeper, since you have all the spiritual herbs, I'll take as many of your specialty herbs as you have: purple ginseng, thunder flower, and black fire mushroom."
The nine-foot-tall giant, transformed from Qingfeng, spoke in a deep, resonant voice.
"Senior...you're not joking anymore?"
The shop has over thirty of these medicinal herbs in stock... That's no small amount of spirit stones.
The old man's smile froze, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
Judging from Qingfeng's attire, he was a genuine rogue cultivator.
Such an arrogant tone, is he just bragging?
Seeing that he doubted his strength, Qingfeng threw out a bag of spirit stones first.
"Pack up all the specialty herbs in your shop for me first. Are these spirit stones enough?"
Upon hearing Qingfeng's words, the old shopkeeper opened his storage bag.
"This...this is a high-grade spirit stone?!"
The old shopkeeper's face showed excitement. This bag of high-grade spirit stones was equivalent to more than 300,000 low-grade spirit stones.
He actually stumbled upon this huge deal!
"Senior, these spirit stones are enough to cover the entire stock of spirit herbs in the store, but the rest of the spirit herbs will need to be transferred from the sect and other branches on the island."
"Senior, may I ask for my name? This deal is too large; I need to report it to my sect."
"That's what the old shopkeeper said."
He tried to calm his excited emotions.
"Qingyang Sect's newly appointed elder, Qing Dali."
Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and he made up an identity for himself.
Upon hearing the words "Qingyang Sect," the old shopkeeper's initial doubts, stemming from Qingfeng's appearance as a rogue cultivator, vanished completely.
"Oh my, so you're a distinguished guest from Qingyang Gate!"
The elderly shopkeeper clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, his attitude becoming even more deferential than before.
In terms of backing, Qingyang Sect is much stronger than Kaitian Sect.
"Since you are a newly promoted elder of Qingyang Sect, this deal is naturally a sure thing."
However, to gather the spiritual herbs needed by the senior, they need to be transported from the sect's warehouse and other branches. It would take at least three days to run between the several branches on Thunder Sky Island.
I wonder if you could stay on the island for three days?
Our shop will cover your food and lodging for the next three days. The [Tingtao Pavilion] on the east side of this street is a property of our Kaitianmen.
Quiet and elegant, it's the perfect place for a distinguished elder like myself to rest.
The old shopkeeper rubbed his hands together and said with a forced smile.
"Okay, I'll wait three days."
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng nodded slightly.
Three days isn't a long time.
"If you take this token to Tingtao Pavilion, someone will arrange a room for you."
Three days later, I will have all the medicinal herbs ready, and you can come and collect them then, senior.
As the old shopkeeper spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and presented it with both hands.
"Well, that's good. I'll come back in three days."
Qingfeng accepted the jade token, nodded, and turned to leave Fangcao Pavilion.
"Oh, senior, please rest assured, I will definitely take care of things."
The old shopkeeper smiled and escorted Qingfeng to the door.
Only after watching Qingfeng's disappearing light fade into the distance did he breathe a sigh of relief and turn back behind the counter.
"If this deal goes through, we'll have exceeded our quota for this year, and maybe we'll even get some credit with the old man, hehe..."
He picked up the bag of high-grade spirit stones and examined it carefully, his smile growing even wider.
Then, he took out a communication talisman and whispered a few words.
The talisman transformed into a streak of fire, flew out of the shop, and headed towards the Kaitianmen sect.
