Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

In the "Dang Bu Guan" area, trading zones were like oases in a desert—few and far between.

Most of the time, people would only gather if a giant ship stood as guarantor.

The most famous and most trusted by loose cultivators were precisely the three giant flying ships Wanbao, Wanhui, and Wan Gui.

Compared to the experienced Su Jinli, Xu Zhangqing and the others were participating for the first time and were very unfamiliar with the rules and gameplay here.

Therefore they did not wander about, nor did they split up.

Instead they followed closely behind Su Jinli, who led the way, heading straight for the central area where the three giant flying ships were located.

Most of the people around did the same.

Only a minority of loose cultivators with few spirit stones tended toward the stalls on the outer perimeter, as that offered better value.

As for the "Fence Area," it was too far away to see, so they did not know the specific situation.

Not long after, upward steps appeared ahead, and Xu Zhangqing and the others stepped up, afterward arriving at a flat and spacious area.

This was the central platform pieced together from the three giant flying ships, with no stalls at all, merely providing a space for everyone to rest; at the front and on the left and right sides of the platform, there was one entrance each, leading respectively to the Wanbao, Wanhui, and Wan Gui ships.

To buy things, one had to enter one of them.

Wanbao was a ship dedicated to trading various spirit tools, spirit pills, and spirit talismans.

Wanhui only conducted resource exchanges, such as spirit stone trading or resource mortgages.

Wan Gui was a hidden auction where entering guests used "Ghost" as a code name and concealed their identities throughout.

"Where are you going?"

"Where does everyone want to go?"

"Why not go to Wanbao first?"

Xu Zhangqing and the others stood in the middle, scanning the three entrances around them, and for a moment found it hard to choose.

Yu Shi spoke up: "If you lack spirit stones, you can tell me; we're all friends, and I absolutely won't charge interest."

The entrance to Wanhui was right ahead; he suddenly said this naturally so that everyone would feel less pressure when buying things.

After all, outside, places like this for spirit stone trading and resource mortgages mostly charged certain fees, and in serious cases even took a proportional cut.

As an Imperial Dynasty Crown Prince, an existence sitting on a treasury, he naturally did not lack "money."

This could be considered giving everyone around him great face.

Su Jinli said lightly: "This place is relatively safe, basically without much danger."

"If you have other ideas, everyone can temporarily act separately; whoever comes out first can rest and wait here."

Xu Zhangqing asked: "Where are you going?"

Su Jinli raised her slender jade hand and pointed: "Wanbao."

Xu Zhangqing looked at Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue, and both immediately nodded.

Miao Huayu and Xu Linshan, due to slightly weaker status and strength, dared not voice their opinions.

Spirit Rong Night and Lu Wu, on the contrary, were very interested in Wan Gui's auction.

Yu Shi, besides Wanhui, wanted to take a look at the other places too.

Just like that, the group split into two batches.

Among them, Xu Zhangqing, Su Jinli, Zhao Ziyue, Hu Bugui, Yu Shi, Miao Huayu, and Xu Linshan—seven people—went to Wanbao.

While Spirit Rong Night and Lu Wu went to Wan Gui.

Both sides agreed that whoever came out first would wait in the central area.

Then they split up.

Upon reaching the ship deck, a signpost appeared before them.

It clearly marked the directions of each area, corresponding levels, and core categories.

Going up from here, the First Layer specialized in selling spirit tools and magic tools.

The Second Layer specialized in selling cultivation methods, spells, and classics.

The Third Layer specialized in selling spirit pills, medicinal herbs, pill furnaces, and such items.

The Fourth Layer specialized in selling various rare spirit plants, spiritual treasures, and spirit talismans.

However, Su Jinli said: "Actually there is also a Fifth Layer."

Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "A hidden Fifth Layer?"

Su Jinli nodded slightly: "The things there are even more rare and ancient; it's just that to enter, one must meet two conditions."

First, at least one Golden Core True Person in the party.

Second, VIP status on any one of the three ships.

Xu Zhangqing chuckled: "Sister Li, since you've put it that way, you definitely have this qualification, right?"

Su Jinli was stunned; it had been many years since anyone called her "Elder Sister," but the person before her, by age, seemed not yet forty, indeed younger than herself.

If anyone else called her that, she'd probably be furious.

But Xu Zhangqing was different; he was the junior martial brother of Su Jinli's best friend, and could be considered one of her own people.

Therefore, Su Jinli did not get angry, but tacitly allowed the other party the qualification to "call her Elder Sister," and then said affirmatively: "Correct, but I can only bring two people."

This was the rule of the Wanbao Giant Ship.

To maintain the mystery of the Fifth Layer, a Golden Core True Person qualified to enter could bring at most two outsiders inside.

In other words, Xu Zhangqing and the others had to make a choice, to see exactly who would go and who would not.

At this moment, Zhao Ziyue tugged at Hu Bugui's sleeve, then said: "The two of us aren't interested in the things on the fifth layer."

Miao Huayu and Xu Linshan reacted quickly, immediately nodding in agreement: "Right, we aren't going either."

That being the case, only Yu Shi was left.

By this point, the situation went without saying.

Those who could follow Su Jinli to the fifth layer were only Xu Zhangqing and Yu Shi.

One was "one of our own".

One was "Imperial Dynasty Crown Prince".

Hu Bugui, Miao Huayu, and Xu Linshan had not yet reached Golden Core, and their strength was not suitable.

Zhao Ziyue was an Earth Grade Golden Core, but he was not close with Su Jinli.

Therefore, the only suitable people were Xu Zhangqing and Yu Shi; everyone understood this in their hearts.

Of course, they weren't going to the fifth layer right now, just making an agreement in advance.

Next, everyone would start from the first layer and tour slowly.

The spirit tools and magic tools on this layer were not simply divided into two areas, but were first divided into two main areas, then subdivided into multiple small areas based on the number of spirit patterns.

One to three patterns belonged to the Low-grade Spirit Tool Area.

Four to six patterns belonged to the High-grade Spirit Tool Area.

Seven to nine patterns belonged to the Top-grade Spirit Tool Area.

However, no Transcendent Spirit Tools were displayed, after all, such things were too rare.

As for the division of magic tools, it was basically the same, but because they were rare themselves, currently only the Low-grade Magic Artifact Area with one to three patterns was open to the public.

It was well known that Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage xiuxian zhe could only use spiritual power, so they were suited to spirit tools.

But upon reaching the Golden Core Stage, giving birth to a golden core, and tempering the spirit qi of heaven and earth into mana, they began to use magic tools.

Xu Zhangqing had Hu Bugui, Miao Huayu, and Xu Linshan go to the spirit tool area; if they needed spirit stones, they could ask for them themselves.

And he, along with Yu Shi and Zhao Ziyue, the three of them followed beside Su Jinli, beginning to browse the only low-grade magic tool area.

After one round, there really was a magic tool that stirred Xu Zhangqing's heart: a fine wooden sword that glowed with a warm luster throughout, its surface winding with circle after circle of brown growth rings, looking far from ordinary.

Upon careful observation, one would discover that three high-grade spiritual runes were carved on it.

They were Sword Control, Qi Control, and Spirit Control.

Moreover, it had a very pleasant name, called "Three Control Blue Edge"!
