Chapter 178: The Tiger-Slaying Meeting at Caoge
In the following time, Jiang Li continued to lead the Taoist soldiers to look for opportunities according to the signs on the map.
Except for a few places where he had no gains, he had some gains in other places to varying degrees. In the end, he had walked through most of the marked points on the map.
A total of three monsters, several spirit stones without spiritual energy, some magical tools and herbs were obtained. In addition, some evil cultivators were dealt with, and some gold, silver, and other valuables as well as some evil magic techniques were obtained.
He glanced at the map in his hand and said, "Ah San, I think we have marked all these places, right?"
"Yes, Master. We have not been to some markets and forests rich in herbs, but we seem to have visited all other places!"
"Okay, I calculated the time. Tingting will give birth soon. We will pass by a market on the way back. We will go back after shopping!"
"Those forest markets won't be gone either. We'll have plenty of time to explore them later."
After saying that, Jiang Li led his men back. After walking for a whole day, they finally arrived at the market marked as Baicao Pavilion on the map before dark.
The Baicao Pavilion is a market town under the jurisdiction of the Bailian Sect. Since the Bailian Sect is good at refining elixirs and magical instruments, it has the capital to build such a market town to exchange what it has with cultivators from other sects or independent cultivators.
It is precisely because this market was established by righteous people that Jiang Li dared to enter the market at night.
He brought his people into the market town and stayed in an inn. After dinner, he asked the waiter to prepare hot water. He then gave the waiter a few dollars and was so happy that he was beaming with joy.
Seeing that the situation was almost the same, Jiang Li immediately asked, "How long have you been working here, little brother? Do you know what news has been circulating in this market recently?"
"I am not worthy of being called brother by your honorable guest. I am Niu Er, and I have been working here for four or five years."
"If you want to know the latest news, you have asked the right person. I heard that the Bailian Sect has captured a hundred-year-old tiger monster and is planning to hold a tiger-slaughtering convention. They are now inviting cultivators from all over the world to attend!"
When Jiang Li heard the plot, he immediately recalled some unpleasant memories. Wuzhu Mountain also invited monks from all over the world, so don't do the same thing here!
But he changed his mind and thought, "The Bailian Sect is a famous righteous sect, so it shouldn't do such a thing, right?"
Although he felt a little uneasy, he felt relieved after touching his storage bag.
After all, now in his storage bag, there is not only a spiritual weapon, but also two Maxim rifles and more than a hundred grenades. With these things, he should be able to deal with some emergencies.
With these things, Jiang Li stopped worrying and went to bed after taking a shower.
He got up early the next day, and after his morning exercises, he ate something casually and then took people for a stroll in the market.
The Bailian Sect was indeed famous for its alchemy and refining techniques. There were so many materials for alchemy and refining in the market that he was dazzled.
Thinking that Simu and his master would need a lot of materials to make medicine and weapons, he simply started shopping. After spending three thousand dollars in a row, he stopped with satisfaction.
Seeing that he had almost finished shopping, he was about to go back, but at this time a middle-aged man in a long robe came up to him and said, "My fellow Taoist, I am Shi Kuan, the manager of the Hundred Weapons Pavilion. I see that you have purchased a lot of items. I wonder if you are interested in the Spirit Stone Array Plate?"
"Oh, senior, you still have spirit stones and formation plates for sale?" Jiang Li asked in surprise.
"Of course I don't have any of my own. These are all the sect's possessions. I'm just helping to look after them!"
"In that case, I'd like to trouble you to lead the way. I would like to see the treasures of your clan."
Then he followed Shi Kuan to a shop with a sign that read Baiqi Pavilion.
Shi Kuan led Jiang Li and others into the store. He said goodbye and went to the back. Soon he carried out a box from the back.
When he opened it, he saw a dozen spirit stones whose spiritual energy had been exhausted, as well as a broken formation plate.
Jiang Li saw this and immediately revealed a helpless expression, "Senior, are you making fun of me? Are you selling this spiritual stone without spiritual energy and the incomplete formation plate?"
Shi Kuan was not affected by the words at all when he heard them. He explained with a smile on his face, "Fellow Daoist, you also know how precious these spirit stones and array plates are. How could my Bailian Sect sell such treasures?"
"I understand this logic, but what use do I have for these things of yours?" Jiang Li asked speechlessly.
"I see that you are generous and upright, so I think you are from a big sect. If I buy it and bring it back to the sect, I might try to repair it."
Jiang Li thought about it and found that it was indeed true. He was not short of money now anyway, so even if it was of no use to him after buying it, at least it would allow Uncle Simu to practice.
Thinking of this, he asked about the price. After some bargaining, he bought the dozen spirit stones and the broken formation plate for twenty dollars, four talismans and an evil technique seized from an evil cultivator.
After that, he bought a few magical instruments that looked pretty good and left Bailian Pavilion.
When he returned to the inn, he recalled what he had learned before. The tiger-slaughtering convention would be held in three days, and at that time, they would not only kill the tiger monster but also cut up the materials on its body.
The Bailian Sect will also sell a batch of elixirs and magical instruments, and there will be many cultivators participating, so he decided to wait for another three days to see what the transactions of the righteous cultivators are like.
After making up his mind, Jiang Li no longer thought about buying anything. He just took a few Taoist soldiers for a stroll. Of course, they were not really strolling around, but they were exploring for an escape route.
After three days of searching, he actually found several convenient ways to escape.
That morning, Jiang Li and the monks who had come from all directions arrived at the tiger-slaughtering conference.
Since there were so many people coming this time, the venue was not indoors, but in an outdoor square with a huge iron cage placed in the center of the square.
Inside was a huge tiger covered with scars. Even though he was seriously injured, the ferocity in his eyes did not diminish at all. Some people with low cultivation and who were close to him were so frightened that their legs were shaking.
Jiang Li looked at the big tiger from afar, his eyes shining. In his estimation, this guy's cultivation was probably much higher than all the spirit beasts in his family.
If we can bring it back alive and cultivate it into a spiritual beast, we will definitely be able to refine extremely high-quality essence pills.
So he made up his mind that he must negotiate terms with them later and must not let the Bailian Sect kill the tiger monster.
With an idea in mind, he immediately began looking for someone in charge. Soon he found an acquaintance, Shi Kuan from Bailian Pavilion.
He walked around a few steps and came to Shi Kuan's side. "Senior, do you know who will be in charge of today's Tiger Slaughtering Meeting?"
