Baiguo City.
Under the scorching sun, the queue outside the city was as long as a dragon.
Daoist Tai Hua and Su Changyu were standing outside the city and queuing up.
However, among the crowd, Daoist Tai Hua was staring at a notice intently, seemingly thinking about something.
Su Changyu glanced at the notice and was soon stunned.
It was because it was a notice for the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.
The content was simple.
The Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet would be held in Changyun Ancient City three months later.
Registration requirement: Ten low-grade spirit stones.
Reward for the top five hundred: Sword Principle Robe.
Reward for the top 100: 100 low-grade spirit stones.

Reward for the top ten: a supreme-grade flying sword.
Reward for the top three: a flying sword, a spiritual weapon.
Qingzhou Sword Dao Champion: One superior-grade flying sword.
There will be a mysterious prize waiting for you at the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time. You mustn't miss this opportunity.
Registration Location: All major cities in Qingzhou can be handled by the sect offices.
…
The Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet was held once every three years and was a relatively famous meet in Qingzhou.
Although the rewards didn't seem to be very generous, those who participated in this kind of convention generally didn't care about the rewards. The main point was fame.
Who wouldn't want to become a Sword Dao genius revered by tens of thousands of people?
Su Changyu looked at the notice and couldn't help but be stunned, but soon, he couldn't help but recall how graceful he was when he was in the top 500.
Although the number of people who signed up for that year's competition was a little low, in any case, getting into the top 500 could be considered as bringing honor to their ancestors.
However, seeing that the Sect Leader was staring at the notice for a long time, Su Changyu couldn't help but speak.
"Sect Leader, stop dreaming. We are not qualified to participate in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet. Uh … Sect Leader, are you thinking of …?"
Su Changyu was initially a little indifferent, but soon, he seemed to have guessed what Daoist Tai Hua wanted to do. Hence, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Don't talk nonsense, let's get down to business first."
Daoist Tai Hua told Su Changyu to be careful with his words.
Two hours later.
Only then did the two enter Baiguo City.
After entering Baiguo City, Daoist Tai Hua carried a cloth bag and went straight to a pawnshop.
'Sincere Gold Pawn'
The pawnshop looked very high-end. The moment one walked in, there was a sandalwood fragrance that made one feel relaxed and happy.
Daoist Tai Hua and Su Changyu looked calm.
The manager of the pawnshop also personally came out to welcome them with a flattering smile.
"Are you two Exalted Immortals here to pawn or sell them?"
The shopkeeper looked to be in his forties and seemed to be a little crafty.
"It's for sale."
Daoist Tai Hua said.
He knew the rules of the pawnshop. Pawning an item would usually only pay 30% of the original price, and selling it through a pawnshop would usually result in a loss of 30%.
But money came fast, and there was nothing he could do about it.
"Pawn it? That's fine. May I ask what the two Exalted Immortals want to sell? "
The shopkeeper asked with a smile.
"Here, give me a good price for these things. Come often in the future."
Daoist Tai Hua directly threw the bag onto the ground. He had been searching for most of the day and it was basically all the valuable items of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
"Alright, the two Exalted Immortals have a seat. Men, serve tea to the Exalted Immortals."
Seeing how suave Daoist Tai Hua was, the manager of the pawnshop was overjoyed and subconsciously thought that a big customer had arrived. Hence, he hurriedly asked someone to serve him tea.
"There's no need for that. Just pay for the goods. There's no need for tea."
Daoist Tai Hua said seriously.
He had to watch the other party check the goods to prevent any accidents from happening.
Hearing Daoist Tai Hua's words, the shopkeeper was not displeased at all. Instead, he was in a better mood because the more solemn he was, the better the items in the bag were. Otherwise, who would care so much about a pile of trash?
"Exalted Immortals, please wait a moment."
The shopkeeper smiled and then asked the handyman to invite the appraiser of the pawnshop.
After a short while, an old man hurriedly walked over. When he saw Daoist Tai Hua and Su Changyu, he smiled and cupped his fists to show his respect.
The two of them nodded too.
Soon, the old man opened the bag with anticipation in his eyes.
Even the pawnshop manager was full of anticipation.
After all, Daoist Tai Hua and Su Changyu were quite famous, so they definitely had good things.
However, when the two of them opened the sack, their expressions soon changed.
There was a dazzling array of items in the sack, but at first glance, they seemed to be some trash.
The appraiser rubbed his eyes, afraid that he might have misjudged them. Hence, after carefully examining them, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
It was indeed a pile of trash.
He did not misjudge them.
"Exalted Immortal, did you make a mistake?"
The pawnshop manager was a little dumbfounded.
"There's no mistake, it's these things. Give me a good price and I'll come to you again next time."
Daoist Tai Hua didn't think much of it and instead said seriously.
As soon as he said that, the pawnshop manager of the Sincere Gold Pawnshop fell silent.
'Damn it, I thought it was some treasure.'
'I didn't expect it to be a pile of trash.'
'Trash is trash, why do you have to pretend to be impressive?'
'Also, you took out a pile of trash to pawn?' 'Are you crazy poor?'
'You even gave me a good price?' 'Come again next time?' 'Do you think this is a market?' 'This is a pawnshop, do you think I, Shi Liangjin, am a junk collector?'
The pawnshop manager Shi Liangjin stayed silent for a while.
He was full of complaints, but in the end, he chose not to vent them.
After all, it was impossible for him to only accept good business and not bad business.
He could stop doing business, but his reputation could not be ruined.
At the thought of this, Shi Liangjin could only sigh and start collecting the trash.
"Seven taels of silver for the skin of an ungraded demonic beast."
"Twelve taels of silver for the hilt of a damaged flying sword."
"One piece of Dharma treasure fragment, nine taels of silver."
"One piece of cloth to wipe my feet. Exalted Immortal, this is too boring, right? You're even selling a cloth to wipe your feet? "
In the pawnshop.
Shi Liangjin squatted on the ground and took out the items from the bag one by one. He wasn't angry at first, but when he took out a piece of cloth to wrap his feet, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
That thing was a little too much.
"Oh, I was in a hurry when I was packing it. I made a mistake, I made a mistake."
Daoist Tai Hua was also a little embarrassed as he hurriedly took back the cloth.
Shi Liangjin was a little depressed.
However, he tolerated it in the end.
Five minutes passed.
All the items were counted.
They were indeed a pile of trash.
That made Shi Liangjin's last bit of fantasy completely shattered.
He had previously fantasized that the two people in front of him were experts who had hidden the good stuff underneath just to tease him. Now, it seemed that he was still too naive.
"A total of one gold and 35 taels."
The pawnshop manager Shi Liangjin stood up and clapped his hands while looking at Daoist Tai Hua.
"One gold and 35 taels? That's a little too little, isn't it? Take it as a friend. How about two taels of gold? "
Daoist Tai Hua thought about it for a while before saying that.
Shi Liangjin was speechless.
He was silent and didn't know what to say.
He didn't want to be friends with Daoist Tai Hua.
"One gold and 35 taels, not a penny more. Exalted Immortals, if you're not satisfied, you can go to other pawnshops to take a look."
Shi Liangjin smiled awkwardly.
He couldn't wait for the two of them to leave quickly.
He was the manager of the Sincere Gold Pawnshop and he earned dozens of taels of gold in two hours. Being delayed by the two of them for such a long time was a small loss, but the most important thing was that he was embarrassed.
"Manager, just take it as a friend. If there's a chance in the future, we'll continue to take care of your business. One gold and 50 taels. How about that? I won't take advantage of you."
Daoist Tai Hua said shamelessly.
The latter shook his head helplessly and then smiled bitterly.
"To be honest, the value of these items isn't even as expensive as the Xuan paper for the painting. You can afford Xuyang Xuan paper, why do you have to be so serious about these few taels of silver?"
Shi Liangjin said.
His gaze was fixed on the painting in Changyu's hand.
The reason why he mistakenly thought that the two of them were rich was mainly because of the painting.
He could tell at a glance that it was Xuyang Xuan paper which was worth one tael of gold. The painting itself was probably worth more than ten taels of gold.
Only wealthy people would dare to use such Xuan paper to paint.
Ordinary scholars couldn't afford it.
However, at the next moment …
Daoist Tai Hua's voice sounded.
"This can be sold for money too?"
