Yuwen Zhouyuan tidied up his clothes, then found the spirit horse and headed towards Donghekoufang City.
After a meal, Yuwen Zhouyuan came to the edge of a river covered by fog. He looked at the surrounding terrain and said to himself: "It should be here."
Then he took out the entry talisman and threw it forward, and saw a small path immediately appeared in front of the empty object.
Yuwen Zhouyuan urged his horse to go along the path. As he moved forward, the sound of people became more and more noisy.
"The best spirit deer blood! Just one cup of spirit stone!"
"Clear spring dew, three drops for one spiritual stone!"
"All kinds of talismans, low-level, mid-level, attack and defense, everything you need!"
A sound of people shouting about buying and selling came to Yuwen Zhouyuan's ears. If it weren't for the fact that what was being hawked were all materials used for cultivating immortals, he would have thought he had walked into a mortal vegetable market.
Looking at the people buying and selling around him, Yuwen Zhouyuan got off his horse, led the horse and started walking around.
"Brother, is this your first time coming to Donghekou Fang City?" A voice rang in Yuwen Zhouyuan's ear.
Yuwen Zhouyuan looked around and found a dwarf standing in front of him.
This person only reached Yu Wen Zhouyuan's lower abdomen. His face showed no age, but his eyes showed competence. At first glance, he was a shrewd person.
"Yes, I wonder what you call me brother?" Yuwen Zhouyuan said.
"Others call me San Cun Ding. My name was Ding Shangwen at that time. You can call me San Cun Ding or Lao Ding. What do you call me brother?" The dwarf smiled at Yuwen Zhouyuan.
"It turns out it's Brother Ding, I'm Yuwen Zhouyuan. I wonder what Brother Ding wants me to do?" Yuwen Zhouyuan said.
"Fellow Taoist Yuwen, I am an old man from Donghefang City. If you want to buy something or sell something, Ding will provide you with information." Sancun Ding said.
"I see, then there is Brother Laoding." Yuwen Zhouyuan said.
Sancun Ding smiled and said: "Haha, but Taoist friend Yuwen, you also know that there is no free lunch in this world. Ding relied on reselling information in exchange for some spiritual stones to practice in Donghefang City, so..."
"No problem, as long as the information provided by fellow Daoist Ding is accurate, I will definitely give you all the spiritual stones." Yuwen Zhouyuan said.
"Fellow Taoist Yuwen is indeed a cheerful person. Mr. Ding is most willing to do business with people like Taoist Friend. I wonder if Taoist Friend Yuwen wants to buy something or sell something?" Sancun Ding said.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, is there any difference between the buying and selling news?" Yuwen Zhouyuan asked.
"Fellow Taoist Yuwen, you look like an expert at first glance. The news about buying and selling is indeed different. The price for buying news is based on the rarity of the thing you want to buy. The price for selling things is based on the reputation of the trading place." Sancun Ding said.
.
"Okay, I'm going to inquire about the shopping first. I want to buy some spiritual herbs that can be used to refine the elixirs used during the Qi period. I don't know where they can be found, and the price is reasonable," Yuwen Zhouyuan said.
"You have asked the right person. To say that the one that sells the most complete range of spiritual herbs and the most reasonable prices is Baicaotang in Benfang City, Wancaomen. The spiritual herbs there are of good quality and the prices are fair." Sancun Ding said.
When Yuwen Zhouyuan heard that there was actually a sect's property here, he was stunned for a moment, but he was instantly relieved. As a cultivation sect, Wancao Sect deals with spiritual medicines, and it is normal to sell some spiritual herbs.
"Where is Baicao Hall?" Yuwen Zhouyuan asked.
"Go forward along the main road. When you reach the fork in front of the road, turn right and you will see Baicaotang's shop." Sancun Ding said.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Ding has some Peiyuan Dan that he wants to sell. Where can he sell it for a good price?" Yuwen Zhouyuan asked Sancun Ding.
"Peiyuan Dan is an elixir that can be taken during the Qi period. In addition to the location, the price depends on the quality. If the quality is good, you can participate in the underground trade fair in our city. Of course, the underground trade fair will charge a certain commission.
Yes, but the price is much higher than what is sold outside." San Cun Ding said.
"What do you think of the quality of my Peiyuan Pill?" Yuwen Zhouyuan said, taking out a bottle of pill and handing it to Sancun Ding.
"Ah! This is the best-looking Peiyuan Pill that Ding has ever seen since he started practicing. If he gets it at an underground trade fair, it will definitely sell for a high price!" Sancun Ding said excitedly with his eyes shining.
"How can I participate in the underground trade fair? Please provide me with clues from fellow Taoist Ding. Also with this information, how many spiritual stones should I pay fellow Taoist Ding?" Yuwen Zhouyuan said.
"Fellow Taoist Yuwen, here is a token for you to participate in the underground trade fair. Take the token and go to the market selling spiritual weapons in front of you at midnight in the evening. Someone will naturally greet you. Ding has two news about this transaction.
"I'm sorry, can Taoist friend Yuwen take the Peiyuan Pill in your hand to settle the bill?" Sancun Ding said with hope in his eyes.
"Of course you can, but I don't know how many Peiyuan Pills Ding Daoyou wants?" Yuwen Zhouyuan said.
Sancun Ding thought for a while, then smiled sheepishly and said, "Fellow Taoist Yuwen, do you think two Peiyuan Pills will do? If it doesn't work, how about I give you another Spirit Stone?"
"No! I'll give you three! There's no need to add more spiritual stones!" After saying this, Yuwen Zhouyuan took out three pills from the pill bottle and gave them to Sancun Ding.
"Thank you, I really appreciate Fellow Taoist Yuwen. From now on, San Cun Ding will provide the news about Donghefang City to Fellow Daoist Yuwen for free!" San Cun Ding took the Pei Yuan Pill with trembling hands and said excitedly.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, you're welcome! I'm going to Baicao Hall first, see you later!" After saying this, Yuwen Zhouyuan walked towards Baicao Hall.
"This boy is really cheerful! He is a person worthy of close friendship! Le'er, with this Peiyuan Pill this time, your weak constitution should be able to make up for it, and you can spend your life like an ordinary person. Dad will have no regrets!
"San Cun Ding looked at Yuwen Zhouyuan's retreating back and said to himself.
Yuwen Zhouyuan didn't know all this. He had already arrived at Baicaotang. There were indeed a lot of spiritual herbs there and the prices were fair.
In response to the need to take various elixirs during the Zhenqi period, Yuwen Zhouyuan bought enough spiritual herbs to refine various elixirs. As the spiritual herbs in the storage bag filled up, his spiritual stones also decreased a lot.
After checking that it was still early, he left the Baicaotang and walked around the market. Looking at the monks buying and selling things along the way, Yuwen Zhouyuan felt peaceful.
Seeing a girl setting up a stall in front of her, with dozens of low-level spiritual talismans on the stall, Yuwen Zhouyuan walked over and asked, "How do you sell this spiritual talisman, my friend?"
"An attack talisman costs two spiritual stones, a defensive talisman costs three spiritual stones, and a bonus talisman costs one spiritual stone." The girl seemed to be selling something for the first time, and she shyly stared at her toe machine and said.
.
"Fellow Taoist, which are the attack talismans here, which are the defensive talismans, and which are the bonus talismans?" Yuwen Zhouyuan asked.
"This is for attack, this is for defense, and this is for bonus. What do fellow Taoists want?" the girl asked.
"I want ten pieces each for attack, defense and bonus." Yuwen Zhouyuan said.
"What? You want so much?" the girl asked in surprise.
"Haha, what? There aren't many, let me pick a few first." Yuwen Zhouyuan said as he picked out these talismans.
For the offensive talismans, he chose two fireball talisman, ice arrow talisman, wind blade talisman, winding talisman, and lightning strike talisman; for the defensive talisman, he chose the earth shield talisman, ice wall talisman, golden bell talisman, bronze armor talisman, and water repellent talisman. There are two talismans each; for the bonus spiritual talismans, he chose two each of the powerful talisman, the wind control talisman, the pill forming talisman, the awakening talisman, and the fire-supporting talisman.
"Fellow Taoist, since you like using talismans so much, it's best to practice the art of drawing talisman yourself, so that you can save a lot of spiritual stones in the future." The girl said while sorting out the spiritual talismans for Yuwen Zhouyuan.
"What fellow Taoist said is absolutely true, but I don't know where I can find secret drawings of talismans for sale?" After hearing this, Yuwen Zhouyuan felt moved in his heart and couldn't help but ask.
"There are no real secret talismans for sale at all. I sell popular talismans here. But today you bought so many talismans from me, I will give you a copy." As she said this, the girl took out a talisman from her storage bag. The booklet was handed to Yuwen Zhouyuan.
Yuwen Zhouyuan took it and took a look. On the pamphlet were written the four characters "Fu Dao Tong Jie".
"Thank you so much, fellow Taoist." Yuwen Zhouyuan thanked him and put the "True Explanation of the Taoist Talisman" and the magic talisman into his storage bag.
After looking at the sky, the sun had already set. Yuwen Zhouyuan walked towards the market selling spiritual weapons.
When we arrived at Fangshi, we found that five or six people had gathered there. Those who knew each other were chatting about something, while those who did not know each other were sitting aside and meditating.
Yuwen Zhouyuan found a clean place and sat down cross-legged, paying attention to his surroundings while adjusting his breath.
"How many fellow Taoists are attending the trade fair?" A clear voice woke Yuwen Zhouyuan out of his trance. He saw a middle-aged man in black appearing in front of everyone.
"Exactly!" everyone said.
"Fellow Taoists, please forgive me. Due to the rules, please take out the order slips." The middle-aged man in black said.
Yuwen Zhouyuan and others took out the tokens one after another. After checking that they were correct, the man said, "Fellow Taoists, please follow me."
Yuwen Zhouyuan followed the man to a small door behind the Lingqifang Market. After entering, the man gave each of them a black robe and a black face-covering cloak. It turned out that this underground trade meeting was to prevent buying and selling. Later, there was a method of killing people to seize treasures, and to protect people entering the trade fair.
After several people put them on, Yuwen Zhouyuan looked at them. Because the clothes were very wide and everyone was basically the same, he really couldn't tell which one was which.
"Fellow Taoists, have you changed your clothes? Please follow me this way." The man said and led everyone into a nearby room. When they entered the room, they found that except for a small teleportation array, there was nothing here. nor.
After everyone entered the teleportation array, the man in black placed everyone's tokens in the slots of the teleportation array, and at the same time took out several spiritual stones and placed them on them. The teleportation array emitted a burst of white light.
Yuwen Zhouyuan then felt a tugging force, and he arrived in a large hall. The hall was full of people, just like a market.
"Fellow Taoists, the trading center has arrived. You can move around on your own. If you want to sell something, you can go to the backstage to register. If you want to buy something, you can wait below. Today is the auction at the beginning, and then it will be between fellow Taoists. Free trade." The man in black said.
Yuwen Zhouyuan carefully looked at the entire trade fair, and he found that most of the monks here were at the Zhenqi stage, and there were only a handful of masters at the first and second levels of Zhenqi.
Those masters of the True Yuan Stage have separate private rooms, while others stand together in groups chatting.
