Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing, Hu Bugui, and Li Sancai all fell silent upon hearing this.

It was not that they believed Old Zhao's nonsense, but rather they were speechless.

If there really had been gains, this fellow would not be keeping such a low profile after returning.

Therefore, the three could not be bothered to ask further, and together rode Broken Moon Flowing Frost toward the new market on the Flower Sea side.

Once they had completely left Hongfeng Valley behind, the scene ahead gradually changed, revealing an endless expanse of grassland.

There was no longer the lush green of spring and summer, nor the variegated colors of autumn.

As far as the eye could see, large stretches of grassland had turned into varying shades of yellowish-brown.

It lost some of its lushness, becoming somewhat empty, and even had some places that were completely bare.

"Good fellow, the market's scale is bigger than before!"

"Haven't we arrived yet?"

"Look for yourselves, that side is all buildings!"

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing, Li Sancai, and Zhao Ziyue all looked over, and indeed it was so.

Although they had not yet approached the Flower Sea, which is now the new market.

Yet even from a great distance, they could still see the continuous, undulating clusters of buildings.

From this, it could be seen that the scale of today's new market was much, much larger than before.

After all, although Hongfeng Valley was not small, it could not accommodate so many buildings.

And as they drew closer, the four discovered that the Flower Sea still had flowers.

Such as meadow chrysanthemums, pansies, violas, silver lotuses, and so on, appearing to have many varieties, but lacking that pungent fragrance.

As for the trading points, changes had also occurred.

Previously, limited by the space of Hongfeng Valley, the trading points were very close to each other.

But now, the Flower Sea's range was extremely wide, so they were separated.

The Xing Nong of the Spirit Fields was located at the southeast corner of the market, and not only were there buildings, but many rather rare spirit plants were also displayed for sale outside.

And at the entrance, there were many stalls belonging to spirit farmers.

Of course, stalls could not be set up casually; permission had to be obtained first.

Because of the New Year, Xing Nong had invented a new game: as long as spending reached a certain amount, one could open a seed blind box.

With good luck, one could break even instantly, but to this day, no one had broken even.

The Talisman Master Group of the Water-Controlling Pavilion was on the west side of the market, with a thousand talisman lamps suspended in the air, each lamp corresponding to the efficacy and demonstration of a type of talisman.

It was even divided into three areas: Combat Area, Life Area, and Experience Area.

Inside, most were talisman masters setting up stalls, with an extremely rich variety.

The Pill Alliance of the Earth Fire Area was located at the center of the market, with several octagonal alchemy platforms set up; beneath the bronze pill furnaces, the pill fire colors ranged from crimson to dark blue, increasing in sequence.

And they had also been classified.

Realm breakthrough category: various Foundation Establishment Pills needed by different spiritual roots for breakthroughs.

Special efficacy category: all pills sold came with additional effects.

There was even a free sample category: apprentices who had just started alchemy placed some free sample pills on the stalls; anyone could take them, but if anything happened, no one would take responsibility.

The Spirit Tool Workshop of Zhuqi Peak was in the open-air area on the north side of the market, with forging furnaces blazing with fierce fire, and the "ding ding dang dang" striking sounds rang out from time to time, looking lively just to watch.

There were three entrances: Life Entrance, Combat Entrance, and On-site Forging Entrance.

Zhuqi Peak had specially arranged some apprentices to forge ordinary tools here specifically.

Even the Array Family from the Spiritual Veins came to join the fun; their trading point was located at a square in the southwest corner of the market, inside which were carved countless Spirit-Gathering Arrays, so the spiritual energy was exceptionally rich.

Various services were also classified: Defense Category, Support Category, and Custom Service Category.

At least two Array Masters stayed here every month.

And not only that, the new market had a special feature.

Purchases, exchanges, and transactions could be made using the Immortal Sect's points.

That is to say, if spirit stones were not enough, points could be used to make up the difference.

Xu Zhangqing and the others saw this with their own eyes and could not help but click their tongues in amazement.

The trading points of the past did not have so many services, putting on an attitude of "buy it or not."

Now, for the Thousand Sects Dharma Assembly a few years later, they stubbornly made it into this appearance.

That said, it at least made the disciples native to the Immortal Sect much more comfortable.

It was just unknown whether this kind of service could continue.

As soon as the few people landed, they saw Han Su and Li Xianglin; these two, ever since confirming their relationship, had always stayed together, looking very sweet and arousing envy.

Xu Zhangqing asked curiously: "Where did Han Su's Foundation Establishment Pill come from?"

Li Sancai replied: "Xiang Lin begged me, and then went back to beg her family; finally, through an installment plan, she obtained an Earth Spirit Root-exclusive Foundation Establishment Pill from an alchemist."

Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "Which alchemist is so kind?"

Li Sancai glanced at the three beside him before answering: "Xuan Cang."

Once the name was spoken, everyone was not at all surprised.

After multiple contacts and understanding, everyone knew that Xuan Cang indeed had skill in alchemy.

Although no rare pills were refined, the common ones were produced in large quantities.

He was also a decent person, without so many schemes.

Hu Bugui pondered: "Looks like I'll have to find Xuan Cang too, but since Gold Fire is a Mutual Restraint Spiritual Root, I don't know how many spirit stones this Foundation Establishment Pill requires?"

Xu Zhangqing blinked: "No need to rush!"

Hu Bugui deeply agreed: "You're right, it's like this now, rushing is useless."

Next, the four began shopping.

Compared to the former Market, the Xin Ji Shi indeed had more things.

Not only were there various sweets and cakes from the Mortal World, but also various foods close to Lingfan.

Fortunately this year, besides Li Sancai, namely Xu Zhangqing, Hu Bugui, and Zhao Ziyue, all made a fortune through the Gui Xu Secret Realm.

Therefore when shopping, they weren't so stingy anymore, buying whatever they fancied.

During this time they also met acquaintances.

Zhao Ying's family.

They even met Zhang Xue.

Only, the two had little interaction.

Time washed everything away, especially feelings.

What's more, it was one-sided feelings.

Behind, Hu Bugui, Li Sancai, Zhao Ziyue as usual, stayed at the Xin Ji Shi to cross the year.

After all new place, new environment, and also a huge number of people, the atmosphere was very good.

Xu Zhangqing still did not stay, he took out New Year Gifts to give to the three, then rode Broken Moon Flowing Frost flying toward Hongfeng Valley.

Back home, he immediately began pasting Spring Couplets and hanging Lanterns.

Wangwang and Wangzai circled around his feet back and forth, appearing especially attentive.

Ge Ge stood on the chair, just silently watching like that.

When evening came, the entire Hong Feng Ju was already decorated with lanterns and streamers.

Clearly only Xu Zhangqing was alone, yet it seemed especially lively.

Dog, Chicken, Fortress, including the Yang Tree Spirit outside, to a certain extent, could also be considered "a whole family".

"Come come come!"

"Everyone eat!"

"Red Envelopes after eating!"

With Xu Zhangqing's call, they all crowded to the Dining Table.

Even Fortress, which didn't need to eat, received a cup of Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine.

……

……

Left Side, inside the Xin Ji Shi.

Zhao Ziyue and Li Sancai had already unwrapped the gifts, the things inside were very suitable for them.

There were fishing gear and Rare Spirit Plants.

When Hu Bugui opened the gift in his hand, after seeing clearly the things inside, he instantly stared wide-eyed and exclaimed: "Foundation Establishment Pill!"
