Outside the hall, Shi Yang released a flying boat and flew east with a few people.
Qin Di saw Li Mo and Shi Lun, the two Void Step True Monarchs, and the boisterous Ao Ying, along with a few Nascent Soul cultivators.
That was half of the Immortal Music Sect's power! A peak Void Step cultivator was invincible within tens of thousands of li.
Sure enough, the journey was uneventful and they soon arrived at Qing Hua Island.
Qing Hua Island was a large island, a thousand li in circumference. It was covered in towering ancient trees, who knew how old they were.
At the highest point of the island was a palace, but it was also damaged from constant attacks.
The one guarding Qing Hua Island was another Void Step cultivator of the Immortal Music Sect, Xiao Can, who called himself the Soul of the Cloudy Dream Flute.
Qin Di spent two hours setting up an immortal array on the island. He then helped Shi Lun find a fourth level immortal wood and dug a first stage spirit immortal white pine for himself. Shi Lun and a few disciples stayed on guard while the rest returned to Jade Zither Island.
With an immortal array on the east and west side protecting the two most important islands, the Immortal Music Sect's defense became a lot easier. The other islands didn't have an immortal array to protect them, but the spiritual materials weren't high enough for the Bone Sect and Azure Wood Sect's high level cultivators to fight over them.
Qin Di stayed on Jade Zither Island.
He called Bai Dong 'er over. Twenty-seven years passed and Bai Dong 'er had long since reached the peak of qi refining. She could've established her foundation a dozen years ago, but she never did.
Therefore, when she saw her master, her heart was filled with grievance and her tears almost flowed out.
"Master, you forgot about your disciple!"
Qin Di comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry, disciple! Practice for a few more years and you'll have a bright future. Look, I've prepared a precious Foundation Establishment Pill for you, a First Stage Spirit Immortal White Pine, and an upper-grade Heaven-level Grand White Gold. You can start building your foundation now! "Then, he taught his disciple the method of building his foundation in detail.
Bai Dong 'er entered the Heaven's Grotto-Heaven to build her foundation while Qin Di stayed outside to practice his zither.
Half a year later, Qin Di learned several songs from the "Immortal Music Score", but when he performed them, he was still far from his master's requirements.
In the blink of an eye, another three months passed, and it was the second month of the next year. Bai Dong 'er had successfully built her foundation and opened up a Violet Palace space of 53,000 feet. Moreover, she was at the second level of Foundation Building the moment she came out of seclusion!
Qin Di gave her the fourth-grade wooden parasol zither he made himself, as well as some wood elemental liquid and metal elemental liquid to reduce the difficulty of her cultivation after she built her foundation.
Bai Dong 'er held the Level Four treasure zither in her hands and was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Master! To be able to obtain such a treasured zither, this disciple is willing to wait another hundred years! "
Another month passed quickly, and the once-in-a-century large-scale auction of Tianbao Hall was about to begin.
Qin Di followed Shi Yang to Treasure Island two days in advance.
Treasure Island was the island occupied by Tianbao Hall. It wasn't particularly large, but its location was excellent. It was exactly at the point where the two legs of the human-shaped island chain diverged. Therefore, some people called it the testicle of Yunmeng.
The entire Treasure Island was a large-scale bazaar. There were trading places everywhere, and countless shops were arranged in a circular pattern. From the outside to the inside, there were a total of five circles. The outermost circle mainly traded items commonly used by Foundation Building cultivators, the second circle traded spiritual materials needed by Golden Core cultivators, the third circle was for Nascent Soul cultivators, and the fourth circle was for Perfected Lord Bu Xu. The fifth circle only had a super-large palace called "Sky Treasure Hall", which was specially in charge of super-large auctions.
Qin Di followed Shi Yang to the Sky Treasure Hall to inquire about the matters to take note of during the auction. In the end, he found out that in order to participate in the auction, one must have enough "elemental crystals". Whether it was wood elemental crystals, fire elemental crystals, or other elemental crystals, they could be exchanged for one for one.
Elemental crystals were very important to Nascent Soul cultivators and Perfected Lord Bu Xu. Because they were food for Nascent Soul cultivators, they could be chewed and eaten. After eating them, it could promote the growth of the Nascent Soul. When the Nascent Soul grew to a certain point, it could turn into void, so it was also the foundation of Step Void Phenomenon.
Qin Di thought, "Whether or not I can exchange for the egg of the Fantasy Bird, I also need to accumulate a large amount of elemental crystals. Although I got some earlier, it might not be enough. The more elemental crystals that can promote the growth of the Nascent Soul, the better! "
He informed his master and then ran into Tianbao Hall alone, asking for elemental crystals.
The person in charge of reception was a slender young lady. She smiled and asked, "Immortal, what spiritual materials do you have? You can take them out now! I'll get someone to evaluate them before you can exchange them for elemental crystals. "
Qin Di looked around and said, "I need a private room, there are a lot of things I need to exchange. Look, this is my VIP token. " Previously, he took out a grotto-heaven on Yin Mausoleum Island and exchanged it for over three thousand spirit fires, so he became a platinum VIP of Tianbao Hall.
The lady glanced at it and was shocked. She said politely, "Immortal Monarch, please follow me!"
Qin Di followed her, passed through several small halls, and came to the innermost hall.
"Mister, please wait a moment, I'll go get the deacon."
Not long after he said that, a woman with an enchanting figure walked over. Qin Di focused his eyes and discovered that it was actually a familiar face! Back then, when he was selling Crow Cry Gold on Red Flame Island, it was this lady who received him. Thus, he couldn't help but be shocked.
The lady was even more shocked and blurted out, "Perfected Qin, why are you here?"
Qin Di was stunned. "We only met once back then, and you know my background?"
The lady smiled and said, "Our Tianbao Hall doesn't just do business, we also need to understand the situation around the world. Buying and selling information is also a part of business. Perfected Immortal Qin is a heaven-sent genius. You are one of the four Grandmasters, and when the flood arrived, you sacrificed nearly a hundred grotto-heavens to save the common people. Your name has already spread to the Spirited Mountain, and it was even personally compiled by this little girl. How could I not know? Moreover, when I was organizing the information, because I pitied those innocent people, I concealed the matter of you contributing the grotto-heavens. Otherwise, if the news spread to the spiritual mountain, those grotto-heavens would become a disaster. Perfected Qin, you are about to face a disaster! "
Hearing this, Qin Di immediately broke out in a cold sweat!
"Oh no, how could I forget about this? A grotto-heaven can be exchanged for three thousand spirit fires, how tempting is that! It's not that I'm willing to contribute it, but these grotto-heavens will attract the greed of those at the peak of Void Step. One peak of Void Step is fine, but what if a bunch of experts rush over? "
"What to do? The grotto-heavens have been placed by the Tongtian River for many years, and almost everyone knows about it. It's too late to take it away now! With the grotto-heavens, the Jindan Sect and the people of Qin's Mansion are not in danger. If the grotto-heavens suddenly disappear, won't those people kill the Jindan Sect? "
"Sigh, I was careless and caused big trouble for the Jindan Sect!" At this moment, Qin Di fell into remorse.
Roddy smiled and said, "Perfected Qin, don't worry. This is not a big problem. If those grotto-heavens are still there, those people will go straight to them; if they are not there, you can push it to our Tianbao Hall and say that you used them to trade with us. Our Tianbao Hall is a big business, and having a few more grotto-heavens out of thin air can also expand our influence. "
Qin Di stared at the other party and said, "Why didn't Tianbao Hall take away those grotto-heavens first?"
Roddy answered, "Tianbao Hall is also a famous and upright sect. We only do business, not meddle in disputes. This is our principle."
As she said this, she stretched out her hand and said, "Let me get to know each other. I am Roddy, a disciple of the 156th generation of Tianbao Hall. I transferred here from the Scarlet Flame Island thirty years ago, and will return to Spirited Mountain in another fifty years. It's rare to meet you, Perfected Qin, and I am willing to serve you. "
Qin Di stretched out his hand and gently shook the other party's hand, saying, "I came here today to exchange for some crystals, and then participate in the auction."
