Chapter 418: Phoenix-Tail Conch

He also let Xu Meiniang put the brewed Vermilion Fruit wine into wine pots. He wanted to take it all away, only rewarding the two of them with one jin each to let them have a taste.

It wouldn't do to say that they took care of the Vermilion Fruit trees and brewed the Vermilion Fruit wine for Lin Zhangqing, but didn't get to taste it themselves.

He went to the storage room again, took three boxes of Green Jade Tea, and then picked some spirit peaches and Longlong fruits from the trees himself.

Then he gave Xu Meiniang and the other one a few instructions and exited the inner space.

It was mainly because playing with the deer had wasted quite a bit of time, and he also needed to reserve some time for his own cultivation.

Moreover, he was also afraid that Chen Zi Ya would suddenly come over. If she couldn't find him, she would certainly be anxious.

Fortunately, when he returned to his room, it was quiet inside and out, proving that no one had come looking for him, so he felt relieved! But he didn't dare to waste any more time. He took the No-Thought Jade Cushion out of his storage bag, placed it under his seat, and began his formal cultivation.

After he finished all his cultivation, another while passed before Chen Zi Ya came over. Subsequently, it was the cultivation time for the "Yin-Yang Harmony Sutra" that both of them liked.

And one cultivation session lasted for over an hour, bringing quite a few benefits to both sides.

The next day, after the few of them completed their basic cultivation, they met up at Chen Zi Ya's place.

Because this place was truly too large, it would take about an hour for them to walk from here to the South Gate stall square.

So they didn't delay any longer. After the four of them met up, they left the inn immediately and walked directly toward the stall square they had already inquired about yesterday.

It had to be said, although they set off quite early, they had already seen quite a few cultivators on the road.

And many of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators; on the contrary, it was relatively rare to see Qi Refining cultivators.

This proved that it was very difficult for small Qi Refining cultivators in this place to earn enough resources for cultivation.

That was why it was rare to see these Qi Refining cultivators. After all, if they went out to sea to hunt demon beasts, encountering second-stage demon beasts was too common.

Therefore, small Qi Refining cultivators were simply not suitable for going out to sea to hunt demon beasts, so it was very difficult to take root and survive here.

If there was someone to take care of them here, it would be suitable to help out in the team or be responsible for logistics, such as setting up stalls to process spoils of war, etc.

By the time they arrived at the South Gate stall square, it was almost an hour later! However, when they arrived there, they were truly shocked once. The people setting up stalls and the people strolling through the stalls were truly a dense mass.

Visually, there were already five or six thousand people here, and the stalls on the ground exceeded over one thousand.

Moreover, there were many cultivators rushing here from all around. This scale was truly too large, larger than any stall square in any market they had seen before.

The few of them were already excited and even a bit impatient, immediately diving in.

It was the same rule as before: Chen Zi Ya and the other three walked in front, while Lin Zhangqing followed behind them watching.

However, after strolling through seventy or eighty stalls, Lin Zhangqing realized that these things were all materials from demon beasts in the sea.

Blood, flesh, sinew, bone, skin—over ninety percent were these things, primarily materials from second-stage demon beasts. Occasionally, one could see third-stage or even fourth-stage materials. But besides Hu Yunna being very interested and buying quite a few, these things didn't have much use for Lin Zhangqing, so he was still quite disappointed.

And by now, he also realized that this Linyuan City didn't have any specialties. After all, this was a city that hunted demon beasts to exchange for resources.

If one really had to say what the specialties were, it would be these demon beast materials. And just now, he listened a bit, and the prices weren't too expensive.

With so many people here, there should be quite a few people collecting these materials at low prices here, then transporting them to other places to sell and earn some price difference.

No wonder there were so many people here; it should have already formed a business. However, fortunately, there were some other things occasionally.

Like water-attribute spirit medicines, spirit grasses, various colorful shellfish, pearls of different colors, etc...

All had their own uses. However, Chen Zi Ya and the other three were in high spirits, especially interested in these shells and pearls.

Each of them bought quite a few. Seeing them in such high spirits, Lin Zhangqing let them be.

Although they spent quite a few spirit stones, he didn't want to be the bad guy at this time.

And he himself also harvested dozens of water-attribute spirit medicines. As for other harvests, he no longer held too high expectations.

However, things are unpredictable; you give up, and it suddenly appears! Just after they had been strolling for two hours, he finally saw two dark blue halos at a stall.

This was a large basin filled with water, inside which were placed five pairs of very beautiful conchs. What was more interesting was that two by two they were gathered together, very distinct.

The two halos were emitted by one of the slightly larger pairs. Lin Zhangqing studied them for a while but didn't understand what these conchs were for.

So he asked directly: "Boss! Do these beautiful conchs in your basin have any special uses?"

The stall owner sized up Lin Zhangqing and the others and immediately confirmed that they were not cultivators stationed in Linyuan City, nor were they people who knew the answer but were asking to probe the price and cause trouble.

It should be that business had come to his door, so he immediately introduced them enthusiastically: "Daoist, good eye! These are precious Phoenix-Tail Conchs, which have the function of long-distance sound transmission."

Hearing the boss introduce them like this, the four of them immediately became interested. Lin Zhangqing knew these things were precious.

The cultivation world also had sound transmission talismans. A first-stage sound transmission talisman could transmit sound within ten li, a second-stage could reach a hundred li, a third-stage a thousand li, and a fourth-stage could reach ten thousand li.

But these sound transmission talismans were not cheap, and they might expose the cultivator's location. This kind of sound transmission talisman, except for the first-stage ones that could be bought for a dozen spirit stones,

a second-stage sound transmission talisman already required two hundred spirit stones each, which meant one-tenth of a second-stage low-grade spiritual artifact was gone for one sound transmission.

Not to mention third-stage and fourth-stage ones, which were certainly even more expensive. Using them, of course, required even more caution.

So if it wasn't absolutely necessary, very few people would use sound transmission talismans casually; that was truly burning spirit stones.

And now there were actually these Phoenix-Tail Conchs that could transmit sound over long distances, so they certainly had to be bought.
