72: Jade bottle restriction!

Time rewound to Wei Zhou. At this moment, he had already flown several hundred miles!

He suddenly perked up his ears and heard some scattered sounds coming from afar!

It seemed to be a market!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his sword flight, and his entire being instantly transformed into a streak of light, flying directly towards that direction!

After a dozen breaths, Wei Zhou saw a large-scale market, similar in size to a market, from a distance!

He quietly stopped not far from the market, took a Hundred Illusions Pill, and transformed into the appearance of a burly man with a bushy beard!

The aura he exuded was that of the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage!

He flew down to the entrance of the market! He put his magic sword into his Storage Pouch and walked into the market!

This market was located within a ruined ancient relic! The surroundings were mostly various Cultivators setting up stalls!

Occasionally, some Cultivators would build small wooden houses and conduct small businesses at their entrances!

There were also groups of three to five people, carrying a large Second-Grade Yao Beast, passing by everyone's eyes!

This drew continuous exclamations of awe and envy from the crowd!

Seeing this, Wei Zhou almost thought he had returned to the market! However, reality told him that this was still the Small World he was in!

Wei Zhou walked into the market, surrounded by an endless stream of hawkers' voices!

He walked to a stall and looked at the stall owner! The stall owner was a kind-faced middle-aged Cultivator, who immediately made people feel exceptionally friendly!

And he exuded the spiritual energy aura of the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage!

At this time, many Cultivators had already gathered in front of the stall!

He squatted down and politely asked.

"Fellow Daoist! Can I take a look at these treasures?"

The middle-aged Cultivator looked at Wei Zhou, grinned, revealing two large white teeth, and said.

"Please do! Fellow Daoist!"

Then, he even made a gesture of invitation with his hand!

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhou nodded slightly in thanks! Immediately, he reached out to a jade bottle in front of him!

He gently picked it up, placed it in his palm, and his Divine Thought probed into it!

However, he found that his Divine Thought was blocked by a force, unable to advance even an inch!

Immediately, he looked at the stall owner!

The stall owner also happened to look at Wei Zhou, and seeing the jade bottle in Wei Zhou's hand, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes!

But it was only fleeting, and his expression returned to normal as he spoke.

"Fellow Daoist! Are you asking what the jade bottle in your hand is?"

Wei Zhou nodded lightly and said.

"Precisely! Then, Fellow Daoist, what is this jade bottle?"

A sense of nostalgia welled up in the stall owner's eyes, and he said.

"I don't know what this jade bottle is either! It was when I accidentally entered an ancient relic back then, I saw several Cultivators fighting fiercely over this jade bottle!"

"I figured this jade bottle must be something of extremely high value! I quietly hid to the side!"

"Finally, I used a trick to fish in troubled waters! I stole this jade bottle! In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and I still haven't been able to break the Restriction on this treasure!"

"Alas! Perhaps I am not fated with this treasure?"

At the end of his words, the stall owner let out a heavy sigh!

After hearing this, Wei Zhou looked at the stall owner, whose expression did not seem to be faking, and after a slight contemplation, he said.

"Fellow Daoist, what is the price of this jade bottle?"

The stall owner stroked his chin, a hint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and after a slight deliberation, he said.

"Since Fellow Daoist sincerely wishes to purchase it! Then it's a fixed price of two hundred and thirty-three Spirit Stones!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhou furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought, evidently deliberating whether this treasure was worth it!

Not long after, Wei Zhou's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and he said.

"Good! I'll go by what Fellow Daoist said, a non-negotiable price of two hundred and thirty-three Spirit Stones!"

Seeing Wei Zhou agree, the stall owner didn't say much more nonsense and handed the jade bottle to Wei Zhou!

Wei Zhou reached out and took it, placing it inside his Storage Pouch. Then, he flipped his hand and took out another Storage Pouch from within his Storage Pouch!

He handed it to the stall owner!

The middle-aged stall owner reached out and took it, closed his eyes, and probed it with his Divine Thought. After confirming everything was in order!

He smiled and put the Storage Pouch into his storage ring, saying with a grin.

"Fellow Daoist! Is there anything else you wish to purchase?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhou quickly waved his hand and said.

"No, no, Fellow Daoist! There are still spiritual birds in my Immortal Cave that haven't been fed, so I need to hurry back to the Immortal Cave to feed them!"

He casually made up a sentence, then quickly quickened his pace and left the area!

After walking a certain distance, Wei Zhou let out a long breath, unable to help but say with a slight heartache.

"Two hundred and thirty-three Spirit Stones! Now there are only about a hundred Spirit Stones left in my Storage Pouch! The matter of earning Spirit Stones is imminent!"

Then, he resumed his pace and continued to wander around the market!

Not long after, Wei Zhou once again saw three to five Cultivators carrying a Yao Beast past, and he quietly followed the footsteps of those three to five Cultivators!

He maintained a distance that was neither too far nor too close, following those three to five Cultivators from afar!

After walking for a while, he saw from a distance that those Cultivators carrying the Yao Beast had entered a shop!

He looked up at the plaque above the shop, only to see three large characters sloppily written in ink on the plaque!

"Monster Beast Pavilion"!

Confirming that he didn't recognize it! He looked at the Cultivators coming and going, all in a hurry!

Among them, he found one, an old-looking Cultivator leaning on an ordinary walking stick!

He reached out to stop him, cupped his fists in greeting, and said.

"Fellow Daoist!"

The old-looking Cultivator, leaning on a walking stick, saw someone reach out to stop him and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but then he saw him cup his fists and bow to him, and his expression softened considerably!

Immediately, he also cupped his fists in return!

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist, may I ask what the matter is?"

Wei Zhou pointed to the "Monster Beast Pavilion" in the distance and asked.

"Fellow Daoist, what kind of force is that [Monster Beast Pavilion]?"

The old-looking Cultivator, leaning on a walking stick, narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist must be coming to this Green Mountain Market for the first time! You don't even know about the famous [Monster Beast Pavilion]!"

When the old Cultivator mentioned the Monster Beast Pavilion, a hint of respect flashed in his pupils! It was the awe of the weak towards the strong!

Next, the old Cultivator spoke eloquently, explaining the force called the Monster Beast Pavilion to him!

It turned out that this Monster Beast Pavilion was a business pavilion founded by a Golden Core Peak Cultivator, and under his command were several Golden Core Early Stage Cultivators, plus a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

It had branch pavilions in more than a dozen nearby markets! Its founder personally resided in the main pavilion in Green Mountain Market!

Rumor has it that he was recently attempting to Break Through to the Nascent Soul Realm! He was expected to Break Through to the Nascent Soul Realm before the age of 250!
