162: trade

Leaving the entrance of Yaochi Pavilion, Zhou Luo finally arrived at the Market.

It was called a Market, but it was actually just a bunch of people guarding their stalls, frantically promoting their goods, with shouts and cries of vendors rising and falling.

It added a touch of worldly liveliness.

Just like when he was in Panshi City, Zhou Luo first browsed the entire Market, selected several shops, and then walked into the first one with his items.

"Lord, what would you like to buy?"

As soon as he entered, a young man enthusiastically came up to greet him.

Zhou Luo glanced at him and found that the other party had no spiritual energy fluctuation.

Thinking about it, although this was a gathering place for Cultivators, there were also descendants of some Immortals.

Some of these descendants possessed Ling Gen (Spiritual Root), while others were no different from Mortals.

"I'm here to sell something," Zhou Luo said in a deep voice.

The young man was stunned for a moment, then immediately made a welcoming gesture: "Guest, please come inside."

Zhou Luo followed him to the back, where an old man in brocade clothes received him.

"May I ask what the guest wishes to sell?" the old man asked with a smile, looking at him.

Zhou Luo didn't waste words and directly handed over Liu Fuchen's storage ring.

The old man's eyes narrowed when he saw the storage ring.

If even the storage ring could be sold, it seemed the items inside must belong to someone else.

However, the old man didn't care.

In the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, killing and robbing was common, and his shop often received such items.

Taking the storage ring, the old man scanned it.

There were many items inside, spiritual pills, spiritual Talismans, magic tools, and so on, everything was there.

Zhou Luo only kept some important items, planning to sell everything else.

After a long while, the old man withdrew his gaze and quoted his price.

"Ten Spirit Stone (mid grade)!"

This price was within Zhou Luo's acceptable range, so he nodded: "Okay."

The transaction was completed.

The old man was also straightforward, directly taking out ten Spirit Stone (mid grade) and handing them to him, saying kindly: "If the guest has other items, you can come to my place for transactions; I guarantee a fair price."

"Certainly."

After saying that, Zhou Luo turned around and walked to the next shop.

Half an hour later.

Zhou Luo had sold everything he didn't need.

He obtained a total of twenty-eight Spirit Stone (mid grade).

As expected of the Market in the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, the consumption level here was countless times higher than in Jiang City.

Zhou Luo counted.

He currently had a total of thirty-seven Spirit Stone (mid grade) and over eight hundred ordinary Spirit Stone.

In terms of wealth alone, he had already surpassed countless Qi Training cultivator.

On the path of cultivation, wealth, companion, techniques, and land are essential.

Wealth, which ranked first, was of utmost importance.

After obtaining so much wealth, Zhou Luo felt a sense of relief.

No wonder there were so many instances of killing and robbing in the Cultivation World.

He had stayed with the Lin Family for five years and only managed to earn seven or eight hundred Spirit Stone through Pill Refining.

How could that compare to the ease and speed of killing and seizing treasures this time!

However, Zhou Luo didn't think he should take this path in the future.

On the one hand, it was due to moral considerations, and on the other hand, such matters were too risky and did not fit his style of doing things.

With the System assisting him, he didn't need to take risks like those Rogue Cultivator.

He just needed to marry wives and concubines and have children.

After selling his items, Zhou Luo didn't leave immediately.

Instead, he spent another five Spirit Stone (mid grade) to purchase a large amount of High Grade Materials.

All were Materials for Talisman Crafting and Pill Refining.

In the battle with Liu Fuchen this time, his High Grade spiritual Talismans and spiritual pills were all used up.

Next, he still needed to find the Dual Cultivation Technique and dragon blood grass, so he had to make more preparations.

This battle also made Zhou Luo realize that with his Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivation, if he didn't prepare more High Grade spiritual Talismans and spiritual pills, he might easily become someone else's prey.

As for ordinary spiritual Talismans and spiritual pills, he could have some, but enough would suffice.

After obtaining a pile of Materials, Zhou Luo left the Market.

As soon as he stepped out, he keenly sensed that someone was following him.

He had anticipated this, so he wasn't worried.

He went straight to the Tianxia Tavern, took out his VIP token, and headed directly to the fifth floor.

The Cultivators lurking behind, coveting his wealth, saw this and had no choice but to leave, unable to do anything.

Some unwilling ones silently stayed outside, wanting to wait for him to come out next time.

Zhou Luo would definitely come out again, but whether it would be the same face as before was uncertain.

After returning to his room, he picked up the token and called for a female staff member of the tavern.

"Can you prepare an alchemical furnace for me?" he inquired.

"No problem, Lord," the other party smiled and nodded.

There were still many benefits to being a VIP.

Soon, the tavern brought an alchemical furnace of average quality.

Zhou Luo tidied his clothes and began Pill Refining and Talisman Crafting.

...

Jiang City.

Under Lin San's arrangement, the entire Jiang City entered a state of martial law.

Many people noticed the Lin Family's abnormality, but because the Lin Family manor was sealed off, they couldn't find any information.

However, some people had already begun to stir.

Because they noticed that the defensive power of Jiang City had significantly decreased, and many places were guarded only by Cultivators at the Qi Training Third or Fourth Layer.

For those enemies, this was a signal.

Attacking cities and seizing territories was common among Immortal Family, and even some ambitious forces would unite to seize cities.

This was because the income a city could bring was quite considerable.

With a city as a foundation, a force could continuously grow stronger, and a Zhou Family could become more prosperous and flourishing.

Back then, the Lin Family had paid a huge price to capture Jiang City, and it was coveted by countless people.

Now that the opportunity had finally arrived, they naturally wouldn't let it go.

...

Dragon Phoenix Market, Tianxia Tavern.

Zhou Luo hadn't left for five days, constantly engaged in Pill Refining and Talisman Crafting.

These High Grade spiritual Talismans and spiritual pills were very taxing on the mind to refine.

Only when he finally finished refining did he feel a sense of security.

With these High Grade spiritual pills and Talismans, his safety in the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range could at least be guaranteed going forward.

After doing all this, he took out a Qi Concealing Talisman and affixed it to himself.

The benefit of this High Grade spiritual Talisman was that it could make people unable to discern his cultivation level.

Of course, this was only effective against Qi Training cultivator.

Then he used a Face Changing Talisman to change his appearance before walking out of the Tianxia Tavern.

At the tavern, the Cultivators who were staking out were still persevering, unaware that Zhou Luo had already left the tavern and was walking towards the center of the Market.

In the central area of the Market, the places capable of receiving so many Longevity Pill were only Treasure Spirit Hall and Zhenyuan Pavilion.

It was said that Zhenyuan Pavilion was controlled by a certain Foundation Establishment Expert, but their specific identity was unknown.

But it was the only trading place that could compete with Treasure Spirit Hall.

Zhou Luo came to the central area.

He saw a three-story pavilion built of white jade, intricately carved, emitting a faint glow, standing there.

The plaque above read "Zhenyuan Pavilion" in three large characters.

Beside it was also a three-story pavilion, but it was built entirely of black spiritual wood, with various rare beasts painted on it, giving it a magnificent Aura.

This was Treasure Spirit Hall.

The two pavilions were particularly conspicuous in this area, and there was a continuous stream of Cultivators at their entrances.

Zhou Luo pondered for a moment and finally chose Zhenyuan Pavilion.

There was no other reason.

Since something like Longevity Pill was controlled by the Azure Origin Sect, he couldn't possibly go to their industry to sell it, could he?

Lest he be captured before even selling anything...
