On the tall archway, there are three characters "Taolinfang" written on it.
If a mortal saw it, they would definitely think that Taolinfang was a sect of cultivating immortals.
Beside the archway, there was a Taoist priest in gray clothes with his hands crossed on his chest, leaning against a pillar and scanning the monks walking on the street.
He wears a Taoist temple on his head, has three long beards, and carries a sword on his back. He looks calm and confident.
This person's name is Lin Yue, and he is a disciple of the Yuan Ling Sect.
"stop!"
He turned around and saw two teenagers appearing at the gate of Fangshi.
One person is in rags and the other person is neatly dressed.
Lin Yue's eyes swept over the two of them, and finally stopped on Xu Ao.
"Boy, do you know where this is? How can you allow mortals like you to enter?"
Xu Ao nodded repeatedly, then took out a black wooden sign from his arms and presented it to him respectfully.
"Immortal chief, mortal Xu Ao, this is the identity token of family master Liu Mubing."
"Everyone comes here to see the master."
Lin Yue frowned slightly, then took the wooden sign and looked through it a few times.
This kind of black wooden plaque is the status symbol of the disciples of the outer sect of the Yuanling Sect. In other words, the master Xu Ao talks about also comes from the Yuanling Sect.
Qin Shaoyou's heart moved and he couldn't help but look over.
The wooden plaque is no more than the size of a palm. One side is engraved with the name of the owner, and the other side is engraved with the words "Yuan Ling Zong" in small seals.
His heart trembled violently.
It is indeed here!
What he didn't expect was Xu Ao's identity.
"Liu Mubing?"
"I seem to have heard of this name..."
Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, then waved to Xu Ao.
"You come with me."
From the beginning, his attention was focused on Xu Ao, because the latter was just a mortal, and mortals should not appear here.
Unless someone guides you.
Before leaving, his eyes moved to Qin Shaoyou again.
"You can barter and exchange freely in Taolinfang, but you are not allowed to buy or sell by force, you are not allowed to rob other people's things, and you are not allowed to use your spiritual power!"
"Also, you fellow cultivators cannot stay here for more than seven days!"
"Otherwise, you will have to pay spiritual stones!"
Qin Shaoyou was secretly surprised, it turned out that this place was a trading market.
"Thank you, senior, for your advice. I understand, junior."
Although he felt that Lin Yue's cultivation was only in the middle stage of Qi Refining Realm, but based on the principle of keeping a low profile, he still did some superficial work.
The monk in front of him looks to be about the same age as Jiang Yue. From a mortal point of view, it is right for Qin Shaoyou to call him "senior".
Lin Yue nodded and motioned for Xu Ao to follow him in.
The latter hesitated a little and looked back at Qin Shaoyou.
"You can go with this immortal. Let's say goodbye. See you later."
Qin Shaoyou replied with a smile.
Now that he has determined that this place is related to Yuan Lingzong, he is not in a hurry to inquire about the specific whereabouts.
He and Xu Ao have different purposes, so there is no need to go together on the next journey.
Xu Ao then followed Lin Yue and walked deeper into the city.
Qin Shaoyou walked through the archway and entered this small town.
There is a central road in the middle of the town that runs through the entire street.
There are not many lofts on both sides of the street, but there are many stalls sitting on the ground. At this time, many people dressed as monks are bargaining with the stall owners.
Qin Shaoyou was secretly speechless. Even though there were not many immortal cultivators in the outside world, there were so many people here.
A rough estimate shows that there are at least dozens of people on the street.
He looked around. Most of these stalls were empty, but there was a sign erected on them.
On it is written what is ready to be sold, as well as the spiritual stones, elixirs and other things needed to exchange it for equal value.
Most of these things used for sale and exchange are not very valuable.
High-level monks disdain setting up street stalls on the roadside.
Most of the monks who passed by from time to time were short of money. Although some were very tempted by the stall owner's things, when they saw the conditions in exchange, they finally shook their heads helplessly and turned around to leave.
This is the current situation of casual cultivators.
Qin Shaoyou wants to enter Yuan Ling Sect, not only because he can seek advice from a master more quickly, but also because the Great Immortal Sect has unparalleled resources for cultivating immortals among casual cultivators!
"Come on, come on, a pair of first-level monster frost wolf claws, in exchange for ten spiritual energy pills!"
“Big opening bonus, don’t miss it if you pass by...”
"Replace the third-grade yellow machete with three yellow-grade second-grade Zhu Xuecao plants!"
"The remaining scroll of the Yellow-level Taoist Shadow Chasing Step will be exchanged for twenty ice talismans!"
...
The constant hawking sounds gave Qin Shaoyou the illusion that he was in Daqing Town.
He walked slowly past these stalls and stopped in front of the stall selling shadow-chasing walking techniques.
In the previous battle with lùyu, he suffered a lot in terms of speed and almost failed to win.
As soon as you hear the name, you can tell that this shadow-chasing step is a Taoist technique that improves body skills. With it, if you encounter similar monsters again in the future, you can at least run farther away if you can't defeat them.
The stall owner is a little girl who looks harmless.
She has a fair face, light eyebrows, and black hair tied into two bundles, draped lazily behind her back.
More importantly, her body curves are very obvious and she doesn't look like a minor at all.
Behind her, there was an elderly man sitting cross-legged.
"Uh-huh, just one Shadow Chasing Step or a broken scroll. Do you still want to exchange for twenty Ice Talisman?"
"madman!"
A casual cultivator next to Qin Shaoyou asked a few questions, and when he learned that he could not bargain, he cursed and left.
"Big brother, do you want to change to Shadow Step?"
When the little girl saw the man leaving and a dark-skinned boy coming, they immediately struck up a conversation.
She is not shy at all, but rather familiar.
Qin Shaoyou looked up at her, who smiled with squinted eyes and two small dimples on her cheeks, looking very cute.
"Ahem..."
"Well, little sister, can I use other talismans to change careers with you?"
When the little girl heard this, her smile immediately disappeared and she shook her head repeatedly.
"No, no, I won't change anything except the ice talisman!"
"Well.."
Qin Shaoyou was a little surprised.
"Can it only be the Ice Talisman?"
"Yes!"
The little girl pouted and nodded.
He touched his chin, thought for a while, and looked at the old man.
"Senior, I really want to get this shadow-chasing step. I wonder if I can exchange it for something else?"
The old man sitting like an ancient pine trembled slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes.
Qin Shaoyou thought well. The person who can really make the decision in this stall is definitely not the little girl. This old guy is the real owner.
"What do you want in exchange?"
The old man looked at him and asked.
"There are two flame talismans and a wooden vine talisman on my lower body."
The old man was obviously a little angry when he heard this.
"You are so arrogant, you want to take away my shadow-chasing step with just three talismans?!"
"roll!"
Even the little girl had an angry look on her face and was showing her teeth and claws, but she didn't look scary at all.
Qin Shaoyou hurriedly said:
"Senior, don't be angry, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"In addition to these three talismans, I also have some gold here. Is it okay?"
After hearing what he said, the old man felt relieved a little.
"If you don't have ten taels of gold, don't waste your breath!"
"Let's go!"
Qin Shaoyou showed a strange expression.
"Ten...twelve taels?!"
"snort!"
"Looking at how poor you are, I know you can't afford it!"
At this time, the little girl's expression changed again, her eyes looking at Qin Shaoyou full of disdain.
But what Qin Shaoyou was thinking was, fortunately, the old guy said it early, otherwise, he would have prepared to take out a hundred taels.
However, this casual cultivator actually wanted to receive earthly currency such as gold, which surprised him a little.
But in fact, among the currencies commonly used in the mortal world, only gold is also commonly used in the world of immortality.
For casual cultivators, they cannot completely break away from the mortal world and enter the immortal path, so in their eyes, this kind of thing is a treasure like a spiritual stone.
"Twelve taels of gold..."
"Okay, I agree!"
Qin Shaoyou made an expression of extreme pain, and then took out the flame talisman and wooden vine talisman that he exchanged for leaving from his storage bag.
And ten ingots of brilliant gold.
"You...really have so many..."
"good!"
While the little girl was still marveling, the old man suddenly stood in front of her and swept Qin Shaoyou's hands.
The gold and talismans disappeared, and in his hand was a broken jade slip.
After completing the transaction, the old man immediately pulled the little girl out of the stall and rushed outside Taolinfang.
"Isn't it just an ordinary business? Why should I be so nervous?"
Qin Shaoyou shook his head secretly, and then looked at the jade slip in his hand.
The jade slip is engraved with the words "Chasing Shadow Steps", but the jade slip is not complete, with a few pieces missing from the back.
He couldn't tell what level it was, but when he looked into his mind, he found that it was indeed a Taoist technique used to improve body skills.
"very good."
He put the jade slip into his storage bag with satisfaction, and then continued walking elsewhere.
Although their deal was completed in an instant, it still attracted the attention of many pairs of eyes.
One or two of them had already followed the old man and the young man and left.
Yuan Lingzong stipulated that force should not be used inside the community, but it did not say that it was not allowed outside the community either.
It's just that Qin Shaoyou hasn't encountered these things yet.
