I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation - Chapter 433
Chapter 433: The GE Garden
Translator: 549690339
The dark and thin young man was PEI Ling.
He sized up the GE Garden from afar. Before he even got close, he could already feel the fluctuations of many restrictions inside.
!!
It was obvious that although this place was low-key and quiet, it was actually very tight.
I’m afraid that a considerable number of experts in the Chao Phraya city are keeping watch inside and outside the city.
However, this was also within reason.
After all, the Grand alchemy ceremony was still ongoing and alchemists would be the center of attention. If anything happened to The Alchemist trade fair, it would be a disgrace to the county chief of the Chao Phraya city and even the Empire.
“Alchemist, please show your identification.” As PEI Ling was wearing an Alchemist’s robe, just as he walked over, a servant reminded him. He immediately looked at Shi Wanli and said, ” Ge Garden is only open to alchemists. It is inconvenient to receive others. Please forgive us. &Quot;
Shi Wanli was very clear about the rules of Ge Garden. He nodded slightly and said to PEI Ling, ” “Master Wang, please enter alone. I will wait for you outside.”
PEI Ling gave his thanks and took out the fifth ranked Alchemist’s jade pendant to pass to the servant.
When the servant saw it clearly, he was shocked and his attitude changed instantly. After all, although the GE Garden was only open to alchemists, a fifth-realm Alchemist was a well-deserved master no matter where they were!
Not to mention, this fifth-realm Alchemist was so young!
He respectfully led PEI Ling inside. &Quot; “Master, this way please … After you enter, walk along the bluestone path and pass through the door of drooping flowers. Someone will greet you. That’s right, my master, master tu he, is also in the garden.”
PEI Ling nodded, thanked him, and entered.
As he walked into the GE Garden, he felt a breeze mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees.
The first thing he saw was an exquisite courtyard. The ground was paved with pebbles, and the tiles were decorated with blooming patterns. Directly facing the gate was a white wall, on top of which there were carved flowers and grass, and the shadow of bamboo could be vaguely seen behind the wall. Under the white wall, there was a fake mountain. It was very strange, covered in moss, and the artistic conception was simple and unsophisticated.
By the side of the rockery, there were several flower trees that were in full bloom.
There was a water tank under the tree that was filled with water. Several water lilies floated on the surface of the water. It was daytime and the flower buds were closed. Only the goldfish could be seen swimming under the leaves, looking quite happy.
On PEI Ling’s left, there was a door with drooping flowers. On both sides of the door, there was a vine that seemed to be quite old. It coiled up and connected with the lintel, forming a flower door. A string of blue-purple flowers was in full bloom, emitting a bitter smell.
PEI Ling sized it up a few times and then walked into the drooping flower gate.
After entering the door, someone came up to him and asked, ” “May I ask if Alchemist has come for the trade fair or for something else?”
“A trade fair,” PEI Ling replied.
The other party nodded slightly and took out a palm-sized puppet. &Quot; “There’s still some time before the trade fair starts. Alchemists, you can take a seat in the main hall first.”
After he finished speaking, he injected spiritual energy into the puppet, and the puppet instantly expanded to the size of a five or six-year-old child. It then floated to the ground, raised its hands and legs, and moved them. It raised its head to look at PEI Ling and said in a crisp voice,”Let’s go!”
PEI Ling followed the wooden puppet through several courtyards before entering an extremely large courtyard. Other than some plants in the flower beds on both sides, there was nothing else. In front of him was a large room. At this moment, the door was half-closed and the embroidered curtain hung low, making it impossible to see what was going on inside. He could only hear whispers of conversation and laughter coming from inside. The room was exquisitely carved and inlaid with pearls and Jade, making it extremely luxurious.
“It’s inside,” the puppet said.
Without waiting for his reply, she ran away.
PEI Ling stepped forward and lifted a corner of the embroidered curtain. He saw that there was an extremely vast Hall in the room, and a high platform was built in the deepest part.
At this moment, among the many seats placed below the high platform, there were already some people sitting in twos and threes.
Sensing that someone else had come, they all turned around to look.
Seeing that PEI Ling was young and unfamiliar, most of the people were not interested, but they all nodded at him kindly.
PEI Ling looked around and found a remote corner to sit down. Soon, a waiter served tea and spirit fruits.
He picked up the tea and took a look. The tea was green and full of spiritual energy. The quality of this spiritual tea was not low.
Even though he knew that the glaze avaricious Empire was a righteous sect and that Wang Gao’s identity was even more well-received and it was unlikely that he would have tampered with the tea, PEI Ling still put the tea on his lips and thought about the upcoming trade fair.
According to Shi Wanli’s introduction on the way here, an Alchemist trade fair was mainly divided into two parts.
The first half was the official trade. After the start, The Alchemist who wanted to trade walked onto the stage and stated the items they wanted to buy or sell in front of everyone.
Those who wanted to trade would communicate with each other through voice transmission. After the deal was settled, they could trade on the spot.
However, due to the large number of alchemists participating in the trade fair, it was impossible for everyone to have the opportunity to go on stage. Thus, only an Alchemist of the seventh stage or above, or one who had paid a deposit of 100 middle-grade spirit stones, would have such a privilege.
Each person on the stage only had the time for an incense stick to burn.
The second half was free communication.
After the official transaction was over, alchemists could freely exchange items or information between themselves. They could also take advantage of the situation to get to know some of their peers …
The Alchemist trade fair in Chao Phraya city was led by a fourth grade Alchemist, tu he. In general, this was a place where alchemists could freely exchange their knowledge. There were no strict restrictions, only a few established rules:
First, all the items to be traded must be related to alchemy, regardless of shape or form.
Second, the authenticity of the goods and information would depend on one’s own judgment. Neither GE Yuan nor tu he would be responsible for it.
Third, no fights of magical powers were allowed within the GE Garden!
Those who violate this rule will be expelled on the spot and never allowed to enter.
At the thought of this, PEI Ling looked around. At this moment, the trade fair had yet to begin and the stage was empty. Many alchemists were still arriving one after another.
Two cultivators with deep auras were sitting behind a long table next to the high platform, resting with their eyes closed.
Occasionally, an Alchemist would go over and Exchange a few words before paying spirit stones in exchange for a talisman paper with a number.
Seeing this, PEI Ling also stood up and walked over.
Sensing that someone was approaching, one of the cultivators opened his eyes and saw that PEI Ling was very young and his cultivation level was only at the foundation building stage. He said slowly, ” &Quot; during the alchemy ceremony, the number of alchemists participating in the trade fair will increase. The deposit for the first half of the auction is three hundred middle-grade spirit stones. After the auction, if there are no false sales or violations, the deposit will be fully refunded. &Quot;
300 mid-quality spiritual stones?
It actually increased by 200?
However, this had nothing to do with him.
As he thought about it, PEI Ling did not waste any words and directly took out the jade pendant of a fifth grade Alchemist.
&Quot; a fifth-grade Alchemist?! &Quot; The cultivator was shocked and blurted out.
Upon hearing this, his companion immediately opened his eyes and turned around. When he saw the jade pendant clearly, he was only slightly stunned. When he turned to look at PEI Ling, he saw that he was so young and was only in the foundation building stage, but he had already passed the fifth-grade Alchemist test. His expression then turned solemn!
The two of them were dumbfounded for a moment, and it took them a while to recover. Their attitudes instantly became much more polite, and they quickly recorded it down for him. Then, they took out a piece of talisman paper and presented it to PEI Ling with both hands. They said respectfully,”Master, this is your proof of entry. There are already more than a dozen alchemists in line. However, Grandmaster is a fifth-realm Alchemist, so no matter how many people are in line, you can be the first to go on stage.”
PEI Ling took the talisman and shook his head slightly.”There’s no need for that. I’ll just be in the middle.”
This was the first time he had participated in such a trade fair. Even with Shi Wanli’s prior introduction, Shi Wanli was not an Alchemist and had never personally come in. Shi Wanli’s understanding came purely from the information of Chan Lou.
When he passed it on to PEI Ling, he could not help but be separated by another layer.
Thus, PEI Ling decided to first see how the others operated …
Hearing this, the two cultivators thought for a moment and took the talismans back to modify them. &Quot; “Is it okay for master to be the fifth to go on stage?”
Seeing PEI Ling nod his head, they also nodded slightly, forming a few hand seals with their fingers, and handed it back to PEI Ling with both hands.
Since the matter was settled, PEI Ling returned to his original seat and sat down.
