Chapter 61 - 61: Thousand-year Blood Sunflower 1

Translator: 549690339

In the crowd, Lu Qingshan was wearing a blue Daoist robe. He didn’t look young, and his actual age had reached 57.

57 years old, Tier 2 Foundation Establishment. It may not be much in those sects, but it’s pretty good for a loose cultivator.

However, Lu Qingshan also knew that with his talent, it would be difficult for him to advance further.

Especially since after his Foundation Establishment, he had wandered for 20 years, which made him understand one truth – the destiny of most people was determined at birth.

So this time, he came to find a suitable Taoist couple.

Since he couldn’t make it, the only thing he could do was to place his hopes on his descendants.

Unfortunately, after wandering around the market for two rounds, Lu Qingshan didn’t find anyone he liked.

Then he heard that a mysterious woman dressed in black had arrived a few days earlier, attracting and rejecting many male cultivators, even those at the peak of cultivating Qi.

“Hmm?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Lu Qingshan saw her, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The black-clothed woman wore a veil, her figure graceful and enchanting. Although her face was not visible, she possessed an extremely unique temperament.

“This woman is definitely no ordinary one!”

Lu Qingshan walked over quickly, cupped his hands, and said, “My name is Lu

Qingshan, may I know your name, miss?”

Displays great interest, “A lot of people have already gone over these days.”

“It’s strange. She’s been here for several days and never showed her true face. Is she not here to find a partner?”

“If she’s not buying or selling anything, then it must be for finding a partner.” “This time Senior Lu is making a move, surely we’ll be able to glimpse her true countenance.”

Everyone’s eyes fell on Lu Qingshan and the black-clothed woman.

They thought that with Senior Lu taking action, it would surely be flawless.

Who would have thought that the black-clothed woman would just pause slightly, walk past him, and not even respond with a single word?

Lu Qingshan’s expression stalled.

“Miss, may I have the honor of getting to know you?”, he pursued somewhat unrelentingly.

“Not interested.”

The black-clothed woman let out a cold voice and continued to move forward.

Lu Qingshan felt awkward. All the way here, he’d been rejecting others, only to be rejected by someone without even seeing her face.

The others were even more confused. Lu Qingshan was younger and more handsome than Yang Wantao. If he was rejected, who else could she be looking for?

At this moment.

A burst of exclamations rang out. “Senior Qin is here!”

“Senior Qin? Which Senior Qin?”

“Qin Changqing, Senior Qin, who else?”

“Wow! It’s Senior Qin, he’s here again!”

“It’s said that Senior Qin defeated a Tier 8 Foundation Establishment fellow disciple in Yinxu Prefecture!”

“The last time Senior Qin came, he hadn’t even reached the Foundation

Establishment stage, right?”

“Terrifying!”

The voices followed the sound of footsteps, neatly moving toward the entrance of the Loose Cultivator Fair. Even Lu Qingshan couldn’t wait to get a glimpse of the legendary senior.

Si Hongyue paused her steps.

She turned her head back and looked at the smiling Qin Changqing approaching from a distance. Her expression froze. “This guy… Why is he here again?”

“Brother Qin, is this where you used to find a partner?”

Inside the Loose Cultivator Fair, Liu Siqi marveled at the surrounding female cultivators who were sending flirtatious glances their direction.

This was the first time she knew that such a place existed within Yinxu

Prefecture.

It was truly eye-opening to follow Brother Qin.

“Ahem- I’m mainly here to… um, buy things. Don’t underestimate the items in this market; maybe you’ll be able to get an ancient treasure here.” Qin Changqing coughed lightly.

He was indeed planning to see if there were any outstanding celestial maidens.

Unfortunately, when he entered earlier, he intended to have Lingshuang and the others wait outside or go around by themselves. However, Lingshuang insisted on accompanying him, citing “Big Brother’s safety” as the reason.Having her follow along was one thing, but standing like a knife-wielding imperial guard scared away female cultivators who wanted to give intimate presents.

There was no way around it; Qin Lingshuang had mastered the sword, and with her cold demeanor, she seemed ready to kill anyone in her sight. Her aura was just too powerful.

Qin Changqing felt quite helpless.

Under these circumstances, if he tried to sneak into a tent at night with Sister Lingshuang standing outside, it would be too weird.

Qin Changqing silently shook his head and temporarily gave up the idea, deciding to enjoy shopping at the fair with his two junior sisters instead.

Although he claimed to be looking for ancient treasures, he knew there wasn’t much good stuff here. The Qin family’s influence at present was enough to guarantee nothing here caught his eye.

Suddenly, Liu Siqi stopped.

“Eh, Senior Brother Qin, look at this.” She picked up an antique-looking stone sword from the stall.

“What’s the matter?” Qin Changqing didn’t see anything special about it.

“I don’t know, it just feels a little unique,” she said.

“Really? If you like it, buy it,” Qin Changqing said indifferently. “Fellow cultivator, how much for this?”

The stall owner was at the Cultivating Qi 7th level and acted a bit restrained when he saw Qin Changqing. “Ten fairy stones,” he said.

“That expensive?”

It wasn’t really expensive, but for ten fairy stones, it seemed a bit pricey for a stone.

The vendor hesitated and said, “How about seven?”

“Deal. I’ll take it.”

Liu Siqi wanted to pay, but Qin Changqing stopped her, “I’ll do it.”

“Hehe- Thanks, Brother Qin.”

“You’re welcome.”

It was just a few fairy stones, and the Qin family could afford it.

“Senior Brother, I want this,” Qin Lingshuang grabbed a purple bamboo stick nearby.

Qin Changqing was puzzled, “Purple Cloud Bamboo? This is used for artifact refining, what do you want it for?”

Qin Lingshuang hesitated and switched to an emerald tea cup next to it.

“Then I’ll take this.”

“You don’t even drink tea…”

“Brother Qin, Brother Qin,” Liu Siqi tugged on his sleeve and whispered, “Aren’t you a bit dense? Sister Qin just wants something from you.” Qin Changqing was stunned, realizing his naiveté.

“Alright, come on, junior sister, I’ll pick something out for you.”

He glanced around but didn’t find anything good, so he moved to another stall. Again, he didn’t see any good items – everything here was just too shoddy.

In the end, Qin Lingshuang chose a blue hair tie.

This hair tie was not a magical tool, but its material – made from Ice Cicada Silk – was pretty good, and it looked nice.

“Is this what you want?” It was just five fairy stones – too cheap. Qin Lingshuang’s lips curled slightly, “Yes, this is it.”

Qin Changqing didn’t expect Sister Lingshuang to be so frugal.

She only chose a hair tie on this trip, while Liu Sigi picked and purchased a

bunch of different items.

Then, something strange happened.

The stone sword they bought for seven fairy stones turned out to be a mid-grade magical tool after taking a closer look. Such a tool typically cost at least 500 fairy stones.

The scroll they bought for ten fairy stones contained the details of a mysterious high-level skill.

The Blood Ganoderma lucidum purchased for twenty fairy stones turned out to be a Thousand-year Blood Sunflower instead.

In total, they spent less than a hundred fairy stones but could make at least four to five thousand if they sold their purchases.

One could say the loose cultivators didn’t know the value of their items, but it was a bit outrageous for Liu Siqi to find so many good deals.

Qin Changqing suspected that Liu Siqi had a natural fortune factor and affectionately gave her the nickname “Treasure-seeking Siqi.” Junior Sister Liu was very satisfied with the nickname..
