After drawing the formation of the robe, Song Qingming was not in a hurry to hand it over to Shi Mofeng. He waited for a few days before bringing the robe to the outside of his tent. After sending out a message, Shi Mofeng soon walked out.
Seeing Song Qingming coming, Shi Mofeng said with a smile, "Song Xiaoyou came to see me, but the magic circle has been drawn?"
"I have lived up to Senior Shi's trust and successfully drew two sets of magic arrays. Please take a look." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he placed the golden robe in his hand.
Shi Mofeng looked at the two extra talismans on the robes he had refined, and was very satisfied with the two exquisite magic circles drawn by Song Qingming. He happily put the robes away.
After completing this task, Song Qingming came to the outside of Feng Laogui's tent again. Seeing that there seemed to be a figure walking inside the tent, Song Qingming was happy in his heart, thinking that the old ghost had finally ended his retreat.
After hearing the news about the Bailong Mountain black market from Shi Mofeng a few days ago, Song Qingming came to find Feng Laogui after completing his daily tasks the next day. Unfortunately, Feng Laogui was in seclusion practicing.
Monks hate to be disturbed when they are in seclusion. Song Qingming already needed help from others, so he naturally did not dare to send a direct voice invitation. For several days in a row, Song Qingming came to visit, but when he saw the closed tent, he had to return empty-handed. Fortunately, his luck finally changed today.
After Song Qingming sent out a voice transmission, there was a noise in the tent soon, and an ugly man with a scar on his face walked out. It was Feng Laogui.
Old Ghost Feng is ugly and likes to quibble. He has never been very popular in the camp. Apart from going out on missions, he usually practices in the camp and rarely comes out to hang out with other cultivators.
Song Qingming saw that his face was full of joy. It seemed that his magic power had improved a lot compared to the last time they met. He must have been practicing in seclusion these days and his skills had improved, which was why he was so happy.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Feng. It's been more than half a month since we last met, and your skills have improved a lot." Song Qingming bowed to Old Ghost Feng and congratulated him.
"No, no, Fellow Daoist Song, you're welcome."
Old Ghost Feng looked at Song Qingming with a smile, returned a salute, and invited Song Qingming into the tent.
Feng Laogui's tent was quite clean. There was nothing else except a few cushions and some tables and chairs.
After sitting down, Song Qingming stated his purpose straight out of the gate. When Feng Laogui heard that he wanted to go to Bailong Mountain, his expression changed slightly and he said:
"I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Song will be disappointed. Bailong Mountain is not easy to get to. It's been quite uneasy there lately, and I haven't been there in a few years. I don't know who is the one who boasted that I'd been to Bailong Mountain. Is that a place that ordinary people can go to?"
Song Qingming immediately heard the greed in his words. This old man Feng was really a man who was always successful. It would be difficult to gain anything by dealing with him without paying some price.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Feng. I will certainly not let you make a trip in vain. As long as you agree to take me there once, these talismans will be considered as a reward for your hard work." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out a few talismans and placed them in front of Feng Laogui.
These talismans are all mid-grade talismans, and they cost more than a dozen spirit stones in the market. In the Floating Cloud Mountains, for the Feiyun Guards who are short of supplies, the value of these mid-grade talismans is more valuable than those in the market.
To be honest, even Song Qingming, who had no shortage of talismans, felt a little painful when he took out so many mid-grade talismans. If he hadn't wanted to find out the news about the Foundation Establishment Pill, he wouldn't have been so generous.
"Fellow Daoist Song, what are you doing? You're too polite. We all know each other so well. If you really want to go, I'm willing to take you there. However, we still have to carry out our mission here. When we return to Guiyunfang in a month, you can come to my cave in Guiyun Mountain."
Looking at the several golden talismans in front of him, Old Ghost Feng grinned, and his attitude immediately changed drastically. He reached out to take the talismans from Song Qingming's hand.
Unexpectedly, a green light flashed in Song Qingming's hand, and he put most of the talismans into the storage bag, leaving only one and handing it to Feng Laogui.
"This talisman will serve as a deposit. Please accept it first. Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Feng. When we reach Bailong Mountain, I will offer the rest of the talismans to you. Please don't be offended."
Feng Laogui took the talisman, shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Song, I just have something I want to ask you for a favor. If you are willing to help me, you don't have to give me the rest of the talismans. What do you think?"
"Please be frank, fellow Daoist. I wonder if I am capable of helping you." Song Qingming became interested upon hearing this, but he didn't dare to agree directly because he didn't understand what Feng Laogui wanted him to help with.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Song. Although this matter is somewhat dangerous, it is not difficult. I originally planned to go with another fellow Daoist. If Fellow Daoist Song can help, the chances of success will definitely increase significantly."
When Song Qingming heard this, he felt that it was a bit dangerous and immediately wanted to back out. He was thinking about how to refuse.
Seeing that Song Qingming seemed a little hesitant, Feng Laogui rolled his eyes and continued:
"I won't hide it from Fellow Daoist Song. A month ago, I saw a top-grade White Jade Flower in a mountain. Unexpectedly, there was also a high-level Flame Rat there. I tried to secretly pick it several times, but was discovered by the demon rat every time and was chased by it. I was a bit embarrassed. This time, I plan to call for help, kill the demon beast first, and then pick the spiritual medicine. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Song is interested in helping. Don't worry, after killing the demon beast, the materials on it will be divided equally between the two of you. I only want the pearl spiritual medicine."
When Song Qingming heard about the white jade flower, his heart moved. This old ghost Feng was really lucky. Top-quality white jade flowers were rare in the Floating Cloud Mountains. White jade flowers were difficult to cultivate. Those that were over a hundred years old were difficult to buy in Guiyunfang. One plant cost at least seventy or eighty spirit stones.
Song Qingming asked, "I wonder who the other fellow is and what his cultivation level is?"
"Fellow Daoist Jia, you should have heard of it. His cultivation level is the same as mine, the sixth level of Qi Refining, and his supernatural powers are not inferior to mine. In addition, I have a mid-grade puppet on me. If the four of us who are in the middle stage of Qi Refining take action, I estimate that there is a 70 to 80 percent chance of success." Old Ghost Feng hurriedly explained.
"Brother Feng, why don't you ask a few masters in the late stage of Qi Refining in the camp to help? Wouldn't this make the matter safer?"
"Hehe, firstly, if I want the Taoist friends in the late stage of Qi Refining to take action, I'm afraid I'll have to pay more spirit stones. It's not worth it for such a small matter. Secondly, they are not that familiar with me. If Captain Lu gets to know about this, it will be difficult for me to end it." Old Ghost Feng said with a wry smile.
Just as Song Qingming expected, the other person's cultivation level was similar to theirs. There were many masters in the late Qi Refining stage in the camp. The reason why Feng Laogui didn't dare to ask them for help was that he was afraid that after he killed the monster, the other party would turn against him and try to snatch the spiritual object, and he would not be able to stop it.
In the final analysis, the gap in strength between the masters in the late Qi Refining stage and these cultivators in the middle Qi Refining stage is too great. Without equal strength constraints, acting together makes them completely lose their sense of security in their cultivation.
Under normal circumstances, a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining can at least defeat three or four cultivators at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Although there is only one level difference in their cultivation, after breaking through the late stage of Qi Refining, the cultivator will be able to project his spiritual consciousness, and his perception ability will be significantly stronger than that of a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining. He will also be able to sense danger in advance during a fight, and his combat ability will be greatly improved compared to a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
