Chapter 73 – Strolling in the Market
Chapter 73: Strolling in the Bazaar
Only after breaking through this bottleneck and reaching the seventh level of Qi cultivation would his cultivation increase again.
Break through the bottleneck this kind of thing, always need timing and fate, so Xu Chuniang is not anxious, only according to their own plans to continue practicing the way of the seal, little by little to consolidate the foundation.
A “gurgling” sound called back Xu Chuniang’s thoughts, Xu Chuniang took out the food stove, warmed up the spirit rice, and at the same time ate while thinking about what she was going to do next.
With a hundred contribution points, and twelve points deducted every year, she was able to support herself for eight years.
During these eight years, she didn’t have a clan entrusted to her, so it could be said that she was relatively free.
She wanted to explore the Hundred Demon Mountain Range again, firstly to test what she had gained in these five years, and secondly to look for an opportunity to break through her cultivation.
As for why she didn’t go to other places, such as the Black Moon Demon Cave, the reason was still that Xu Chuniang’s cultivation was insufficient.
The demons in the Black Moon Demon Cave were too dangerous and bizarre, and cultivators below the seventh level of Qi cultivation were at great risk of falling.
The last time I went to the Hundred Demons Mountain Range was five years ago, when I had just entered the fourth level of qi cultivation not long ago, and I almost lost my life when I met a cultivator at the fifth level of qi cultivation.
Now she is already at the sixth level of qi cultivation, body refining is a small gain, I believe she can go farther in the Hundred Demons Mountain Range.
Early in the morning of the second day, after buying a detailed version of the map from the Multi Treasure Pavilion, a few bottles of healing pills, and some living supplies, Xu Chuniang once again left the mountain gate and headed for the Green Cloud Town market.
Five years on, the marketplace didn’t seem to be any different, the streets were bustling with people.
She first went to the ready-to-wear store to buy a few outfits and changed before stepping into the marketplace unhurriedly.
This side of the bazaar was very lively, in addition to the stores on both sides of the road, there were also many cultivators who set up stalls, each of them sparing no effort, promoting the goods for sale.
“Freshly baked lower grade spirit weapon, sixty spirit stones sold cheaply.”
“Top-grade golden light talisman, do you want it, exchange it with Yuan Qi Dan if you want it.”
“Water cloud tiger cubs, one hundred spirit stones a piece, just three in total, first come first served.”
Xu Chuniang sniffed and looked over, only to see a cultivator peddling three light blue cloud tigers, surrounded by a large circle of watching cultivators.
“One hundred spirit stones, this is too expensive!”
“Yeah, why don’t you go a little less?”
The eyes of the onlookers were fiery, but they were secretly staggered, an adult Water Spirit Tiger shouldn’t even be this expensive.
The seller is coldly snorted, “love to not, don’t look at these tiger cubs are not big, catch them can be a lot of work, one hundred spirit stone a, a spirit stone can not be less.”
After all, the value of demonic beast cubs, compared to adult demonic beasts but also slightly better.
Because the cultivator can take advantage of the demonic beast is still cub period, and demonic beasts to conclude a contract, cultivate demonic beasts for spirit beasts have used.
Just cultivate spirit beasts need financial resources and energy are not small, the average cultivator may not have the strength to raise.
While the surrounding people were hesitating, a faint voice rang out, “I’ll take all three.”
After saying that, she threw over a small packet of spirit stones.
The crowd was busy looking over to see that the speaker was a cold and arrogant woman, dressed in white robes, and was clearly an inner disciple of the Easy Sect.
They exchanged a look with each other, and for a while, even the clamor was a bit smaller.
Qingyun Town Market was the boundary of the Free Sect, and the casual cultivators would usually avoid seeing the Free Sect disciples, let alone encountering the inner disciples.
The seller was overjoyed, and after receiving the bag and pointing to confirm that it was correct, he handed over the Water Spirit Tiger, “Thank you for taking care of the business, Fairy.”
The woman received the Water Spirit Tigers, nodded with satisfaction, put them into the Spirit Beast Bag, and left the bazaar.
Looking at the direction of the woman’s departure, the gazes of the crowd of onlookers were a watery envy, they couldn’t even afford to buy a demonic beast cub, but the woman was generous and bagged the Water Cloud Tiger cubs.
Just don’t talk about the inner door of the Free Sect, even the outer door, they can’t get in.
Xu Chuniang withdrew her gaze and continued to stroll through the market.
Most of the things in the hands of these loose cultivators are of average quality, and the prices are not very transparent, and there are even some things that are second best, mixed in. After a cursory stroll, Xu Chuniang lost interest.
She was about to leave when she heard a yell.
“Ancient array disk, rare goods, is my old Zhou family’s family heirloom, only this one, want to buy quickly come ah!”
Xu Chuniang heard the sound and looked over, and saw an elderly cultivator holding a formation disk in his hand as he hawked, and many people stopped in their tracks because of his yelling.
A passing cultivator let out a “pfft” laugh and chimed in.
“Old man Zhou, it’s been a week since you sold it, and your family’s ancestral array disk hasn’t been sold yet? Hahaha, it’s so expensive, I guess no one will pay attention to it even if it’s sold for another hundred years!”
Old man Zhou’s old face reddened, “You guys who don’t know anything about goods, what do you know!”
“We don’t know what we don’t know? Hahaha, who doesn’t know that the array disks you old man Zhou sells are clearly a pitfall.
Still ancient array disk, just a broken thing, do not know where you picked up, can not even use, you also have the nerve to call it out!”
Old man Zhou was infuriated and cursed, “Have you finished, finish and leave, don’t stop me from doing business!”
But after the interruption of those two people, no matter how much Old Man Zhou yelled, no one was willing to pay the bill.
Xu Chuniang raised an eyebrow and walked towards Old Man Zhou’s stall, “I wonder if I can take a look at the array disk you’re talking about?”
Old man Zhou saw a customer come to his door and smiled so much that his face wrinkled, carefully handing over the array disk in his hand, “Please feel free to look at it, fairy.”
Xu Chuniang took the array disk and took a closer look, only to see that the array disk was ancient and unadorned, covered with mottled marks and a few deep cracks, making one uneasy to hold it in one’s hand, fearing that if one used one more point of strength, this array disk would rot into several pieces.
Because of the age, it is not possible to tell what material the array disk is made of.
This array disk is like this, with is impossible to use.
But if this array disk, as the old man said, is a family heirloom of the ancient array disk, then maybe it also has two points of research value.
I just don’t know how much water is in this old man’s words.
“What is the value of this formation disk?”
Old man Zhou hesitated for a moment and quoted, “At a price of one thousand spirit stones.”
Xu Chuniang turned her head and stared at him expressionlessly, somewhat suspecting that something was wrong with her ears.
Did he say, one thousand spirit stones?
Seeing Xu Chuniang’s unfavorable gaze, Old Man Zhou carefully compensated a smile on his face.
“Is this fairy too expensive? I’m not going to lie, this ancient array disk was passed down from my great-grandfather’s great-grandfather’s generation ……”
Xu Chuniang now finally understood why those people would make fun of Old Man Zhou.
This ancient array disk does have some value, but at the end of the day, it can only be sold for one or two hundred spirit stones, and old man Zhou opened his mouth for a thousand spirit stones, it would be strange not to provoke ridicule.
She returned the array disk to Old Man Zhou, “Excuse me.” Then she left the market without looking back.
Originally Xu Chuniang was interested in the ancient array disk, but after hearing the price, she was completely disinterested.
After all, she had spent a lot of spirit stones on practicing arts and talisman seals over the past few years, and her hands were not very generous.
“Alas, fairy, fairy, don’t go away ah ……”
Old man Zhou was holding his precious array disk in his hand, looking at Xu Chuniang’s back as she left, shaking his head as he sighed.
Originally, he thought that the array disk could be sold, but it seems that it’s hopeless.
A trace of sadness and determination flashed under his eyes, Xiao Zhao’s injury could not be delayed any longer.
If the array disk still couldn’t be sold, he could only choose to take a risk and go to the mountain range to try his luck!
