Unfortunately, at this time, no one paid attention to Xie Man.

  Xiao Yuan asked again at this moment: "The two of you appearing here, are you going to the market?"

  Before Lin Qingyao could respond, Ji Qing's eyes lit up and he nodded enthusiastically: "Are you guys also going to Fang City? That way we can walk together!"

  Xie Man heard this and disagreed, so she stared at Ji Qing with a stern expression.

  But apparently, Ji Qing wasn't afraid of Xie Man at all. Her eyes rolled over and she glared back instead.

  To be honest, with Xie Man around, Lin Qingyao didn't really want to walk together with them, but Ji Qing had already spoken up, so she had no choice and could only follow him, walking behind the two.

  At this time, Lin Qingyao only knew that the entrance to the market was actually in a desolate land in Jinxiu District. However, there were no distinctive signs around this desolate land, making it difficult to describe with words. This desolate land had been cast with an illusion spell, which was very clever. Even if someone came to this desolate land and walked on it, they would unknowingly circle around the edge without realizing it.

  This is also the reason why Gu Lao didn't give Lin Qingyu a detailed explanation of where Baima City was.

  Moreover, Lin Qingyao knew that this was a brothel district and no one would bring her here, nor could she enter.

  The illusionary formation of the town requires the jade symbol to be activated.

  This jade token is nothing important or rare, and the town square is also not an important place, so as long as one jade token opens the formation, anyone can come in.

  Lin Qingyao finally understood the profound meaning of Gu Lao letting her find a fellow Taoist to ask about the location of Fangshi.

  Xiao Yuanzi took out a rectangular jade token, inputted a bit of spiritual energy into it, and the token shot out a yellowish-orange light beam. The light beam struck the void in front of him, causing the void to ripple like water, with waves undulating slightly.

  Xiao Yuanzhi went in first, Lin Qingyao and Ji Qing followed suit.

  The scene before me suddenly became bright and clear, the originally desolate land had greatly changed its appearance.

  In front is a straight road, on both sides of the road are some houses, but the houses have been around for some years, looking like they were built in the Ming Dynasty, with wooden doors and windows, flying eaves and glazed tiles.

  Inside, most of the people coming and going are rarely wearing modern clothes, mostly wearing Taoist robes or long skirts.

  It's said that cultivators are still quite ancient, not to mention others, many cultivators have lived for over 300 years. 300 years ago was the Qing Dynasty, so their clothing and behavior naturally lean towards being a bit old-fashioned.

  In addition, these cultivators usually cultivate in the deep mountains and are somewhat isolated from the world, so their clothing is also a bit out of touch with the outside world.

  The town is not big, it's just this street that's prosperous. On both sides of the houses, most of them are treasure shops or elixir shops belonging to various sects.

  The things sold here are of good quality, but the price is relatively high.

  On the streets in between these shops, there are many stalls, which squeeze the entire street tightly.

  Lin Qingyao let go of her gaze and saw a hundred or so people wandering around on this street.

  Lin Qingyao couldn't help but feel a thrill in her heart, it was the first time she had understood so many cultivators! At this moment, Lin Qingyao felt a strong sense of belonging.

  It's as if she was born for this world, and she should belong to it.

  "Hey, stop following us!" Xie Man said politely to the two people as soon as they arrived at the town.

  For Xie Man, who was obviously spoiled by her family, Lin Qingyao didn't bother to argue with her. She had no intention of walking with them anyway, so she said, "Then I'll go ahead first."

  Xiao Yuanzhi watched Lin Qingyao walk away in the distance, and felt that this woman was very carefree.

  Ji Qing naturally continued to follow Lin Qingyao, he didn't want to be with those people from Mao Shan at all. Just now, he almost got recognized by Xiao Yuanshi, if he doesn't leave now, when will he?

  Lin Qingyao's gaze fell on the stalls on the ground. What she wanted most now was not treasures or elixirs, but books!

  She's really had enough of those days when she was a stupid cultivator!

  After walking for a while, I really found a book seller. The profound cultivation methods and spellbooks were not to be thought of, Lin Qingyao didn't plan to waste her money buying this, the cultivation method she had was enough with the Great Yuan Creation Technique. As for the spell... With her current level of cultivation, using a fireball technique or an aquatic spell would be somewhat strenuous, and there was no need to buy this type of book at present.

  Lin Qingyao crouched down and took a look.

  One of the spiritual grass compendiums caught Lin Qingyao's attention.

  Lin Qingyao took the book over, flipped through two pages, and found that she could only see part of the catalog. Further back, it was sealed with a spell and couldn't be turned over. This is also a kind of anti-theft measure in the Xiuzhen world.

  After all, after cultivating to a certain extent, the memory of a cultivator will be very good. This book and that, just glance at it, and you'll remember seven or eight of them. Who would still come to buy?

  Looking at the directory recorded several kinds of spiritual grass names, Lin Qingyao intentionally wanted to buy this book.

  She has the space in her hand, but doesn't know the variety of spiritual medicine. It's just like having a treasure mountain at one's disposal, yet still living a poor and miserable life!

  Danfu Fa Zhen, are things that Xiu Zhen practitioners will study in addition to their main practice. Dan medicine occupies the first position, and during cultivation, one can use dan medicine as an aid. If it's a battle of magical techniques with someone, having good dan medicine that can replenish spiritual energy and heal wounds is simply able to turn the tide of battle.

  Lin Qingyao also planned to learn alchemy, even if her current cultivation was low and she had no way to refine pills. If she could grow spiritual medicine in the space, she could use it to exchange for some elixirs.

  Lin Qingyao took out the few pitiful elixirs she had picked up from Yunmen, which were practically worthless.

  She also deeply remembered that when Xiao Yuan was on the verge of death, it was a single pellet of Dan medicine that saved his life... So Lin Qingyao wanted to prepare some lifesaving Dan medicine on her body.

  In short, selling Lingcao can not only buy Lingdan, but also buy Fa Bao, symbols... whatever you want to buy!

  Lin Qingyao smiled foolishly as she thought about it, of course... now she not only had to buy books, but also some spiritual grass seedlings or seeds...

  "Friend, do you want this book?" The stall owner said enthusiastically to Lin Qingyao.

  Lin Qingyao nodded: "How much does this book sell for?"

  The stall owner smiled and said: "It's not expensive, just five spirit pearls."

  Lingzhu? Lin Qingyao reacted, this is the Shengzhen practitioner's market, most transactions still use ling stone, and lingzhu is a small piece of ling stone with little spiritual energy.

  Lin Qingyao smiled brightly and said: "I don't have a Lingzhu, can I trade with money?"

  "It's also fine, 50,000." The stall owner replied directly.

  Lin Qingyao sighed, this Xiu Zhen realm's money is really not worth it, 50,000! If it were a book of skills or something, I could understand, but this Spiritual Grass Compendium is also sold at such an expensive price...

  In the end, Lin Qingyao picked up a book on refining equipment and another one called "Journey to the Divine State", haggled over the price for a while, spent a total of 100,000 and bought the books.

  Up to this point, Lin Qingyao had a clearer understanding of the concept of currency in the Xiu Tian realm. One hundred thousand yuan was equivalent to one Lingzhu, ten Lingzhu were equal to one low-grade spirit stone, and one hundred low-grade spirit stones were equal to one mid-grade spirit stone, and so on.

  Although it is said so, except for books and other things that are worth a lot of money, few people choose to trade with money.

  For cultivators, money doesn't contain spiritual energy and can't be used for cultivation, so spirit stones are more practical.

  It's just that the spiritual energy of the earth is now scarce, and most people cultivate by absorbing the spiritual energy in spirit stones. As a result, spirit stones are becoming increasingly scarce, and existing spirit stone mines are being depleted quickly. Therefore, spirit stones are no longer abundant, let alone high-quality or top-grade spirit stones. Sometimes, out of necessity, some insignificant things will still be traded for money.

  Ji Qing furrowed his brow, looking at Lin Qingyao and saying: "Qingyao, what are you buying these books for? What's with this 'Spirit Medicine Compendium'? It's simply the most ridiculous thing under heaven. There are still spirit medicines in existence, and even if we only talk about the rare ones, there must be at least ten thousand kinds. And yet, this tiny little book dares to call itself a 'compendium' of spirit medicines? It's really too laughable."

  Lin Qingyao knew what Ji Qing said, but for her now, being able to learn about these things was already very satisfying, so she said: "It's still better than nothing."

  Ji Qing is a careless person, seeing Lin Qingyao say so, he didn't say much, blinked and forgot about this matter, then looked around left and right, got up, it's his first time coming to such a lively place.

  Lin Qingyao also felt that the market was a bit too lively, and according to her knowledge of the cultivation world's decline, in this small city by the river, there shouldn't be so many people.

  But these have nothing to do with Lin Qingyao, she just needs to buy what she wants.

  Lin Qingyao turned around again and found that everything except books required spirit pearls and spirit stones, which she couldn't afford to buy.

  Since she couldn't afford it, Lin Qingyao decided to sell some things. The thousand-year-old ginseng was unsellable in the Cultivation Realm, and now her only possession was the Ice Soul Crystal.

  She collected four jade boxes, planning to keep two for herself, which was a precautionary measure. The remaining two ice soul crystals, Lin Qingyao thought of selling them off.

  Setting up a stall here requires paying spirit pearls as a stall fee, which Lin Qingyao cannot afford. If she sells to those large sects' shops, the price will be too low. Another thing is that she doesn't have many things to sell, so she comes up with an idea, takes out paper and pen from her storage bag, uses her spiritual power to lift the paper up, and writes a few big characters on it.

  Then he turned around and said to Ji Qing: "Brother Ji, come here!"

  Ji Qing seemed to have no intention of buying anything, he just came to watch the excitement. At this time, he naturally took Lin Qingyao as the main one, and when Lin Qingyao called him, he walked over.
