Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The Xianfang is located in the central area of Nantian City, occupying a vast expanse of land, surrounded by a massive array formation that isolates the Xianfang from other districts.

At the entrance, four Golden Core cultivators guard the four directions, and there is also a Nascent Soul cultivator sitting in command, carefully inspecting every person entering the Xianfang.

Xu Zhangqing presented the Nantian City First-class Stall Token once more; after the other party carefully verified it, they allowed entry.

Upon entering the Xianfang, many people were stunned by the scene before them.

The streets inside the Xianfang are even wider than those outside the city.

The shops on both sides are also more luxurious, mostly built from precious spirit jade and millennium spirit wood; the shop signs are engraved with complex spirit patterns that not only attract spiritual energy but also serve a defensive function.

Cultivators on the streets stream in an endless flow; Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators are everywhere, and even Golden Core cultivators are very common here.

Not to mention, one can occasionally sense the aura fluctuations of the Nascent Soul level.

The stalls inside the Xianfang are neatly arranged along both sides of the streets, divided by rank with extreme clarity.

The outermost are the Third-class Stalls; the stalls are rather crude, mostly constructed from ordinary spirit wood, and the items sold are relatively ordinary as well — mostly low-to-mid-rank spirit plants, ores, magic tools, and pills; the stall owners are mostly loose cultivators and members of minor forces.

The middle district holds the Second-class Stalls; the stalls are more exquisite, mostly built from white jade and spirit wood, and the items sold are rarer — high-rank spirit plants, supreme-grade ores, high-rank magic tools, and pills; the stall owners are mostly members of mid-tier cultivation clans and sects, and they have Supreme Elders protecting them at their side.

The innermost are the First-class Stalls; the stalls are extremely luxurious, all built from millennium warm jade and ink spirit jade, with Spirit Gathering Array Patterns engraved around the stalls, the spiritual energy so dense it is nearly liquefied.

Above hang the flags of the major clans and sects; the items sold are all extremely rare spiritual treasures, supreme-grade magic tools, high-rank pills, and rare spirit plants.

The stall owners are mostly members of Dongyu's top-tier sects and cultivation aristocratic families with long inheritances; the Supreme Elders at their sides are uniformly Golden Core cultivators.

Xu Zhangqing's First-class Stall is located in the prime position at the innermost part of the Xianfang, with extremely heavy foot traffic.

The stall's area is also extremely vast, roughly over a hundred square meters; one could say, whatever he wants to sell, he can sell.

Very quickly, Xu Zhangqing and his party moved in, and the first thing they did was hang the Lingqu Sect's cyan flag, embroidered with the three large characters "Lingqu Sect".

The characters' spiritual light flickered, appearing exceptionally eye-catching.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding cultivators cast curious gazes one after another.

A loose cultivator asked in a low voice: "What is the background of this Lingqu Sect, that it can actually possess a First-class Stall inside the Xianfang?"

Another loose cultivator shook his head: "Don't know.

I've stayed in Dongyu for so many years, never heard of the Lingqu Sect."

A broadly knowledgeable cultivator said: "Look at that flag; the spiritual light fluctuations on it are extremely extraordinary.

Moreover, the First-class Stall Token in their hands is the highest-grade token issued by the Nantian City Management Office; only Dongyu's top-tier sects can possess it."

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads sideways: "Top-tier sect?"

The Lingqu Sect has considerable reputation in the Qingxi Valley area, but it is ten thousand li from Nantian City; naturally, not many people know of this sect.

Another cultivator speculated: "This Lingqu Sect might have been founded by some person of status and background; regardless, we cannot afford to offend them."

A member of a millennium-old cultivation clan analyzed: "If that is truly the case, then this Lingqu Sect's background is not simple.

Perhaps we should still establish good relations with the Lingqu Sect; in the future we might be able to buy rare spirit plants and pills from them."

The surrounding cultivators nodded one after another, a trace of reverence flashing in their eyes.

Most of them are mid-tier forces and loose cultivators; they hold extreme reverence for Dongyu's top-tier sects, so naturally they dare not easily provoke the Lingqu Sect.

And those members of top-tier sects and cultivation aristocratic families who also possess First-class Stalls also took notice of Xu Zhangqing and his party.

A trace of doubt and wariness flashed in their eyes, and they sent people one after another to probe for information.

A young cultivator dressed in a golden brocade robe, with a Golden Core cultivator behind him, walked slowly to stand before Xu Zhangqing and his party.

His aura was steady, his gaze mixed with scrutiny.

The young cultivator cupped his fists and asked: "I am Jin Hao of the Dongyu Jin Family; may I ask which Dao Friend of the Lingqu Sect you are?"

The Jin Family is a cultivation aristocratic family with a long inheritance in Dongyu, powerful in strength; though not comparable to the other five great families of immense fame, they also possess a First-class Stall in Nantian City.

Xu Zhangqing's tone was calm: "Xu Zhangqing, Great Elder of the Lingqu Sect."

"Elder Xu."

Jin Hao nodded, his gaze falling on the First-class Stall Token in Xu Zhangqing's hand: "I wonder where the Lingqu Sect comes from?

Why has my Jin Family never heard of your esteemed sect's name!"

Xu Zhangqing said blandly: "That you have never heard of the Lingqu Sect is very normal.

After all, our founding time is still short, only a few years."

Hearing this, a trace of suspicion flashed in Jin Hao's eyes, and he thought secretly: "A newly risen minor sect, yet it actually obtained the qualification for a First-class Stall?"

Xu Zhangqing, coming for the first time, did not want to attract attention: "Dao Friend, any other questions?"

Jin Hao looked at Xu Zhangqing with a half-smile, his attitude condescending as he said: "Since it is a newly risen sect, you must understand the rules here.

The First-class Stall area inside the Xianfang is entirely the territory of Dongyu's top-tier forces.

Your esteemed sect has just arrived; if there is anything you don't understand, you may come to my Jin Family for guidance.

Of course, if your sect's stall affects my Jin Family's business, then don't blame me for being impolite."

As soon as these words came out, everyone heard the implication behind them.

A trace of anger flashed in Xu Linshan's eyes; he was about to speak but was stopped by Xu Zhangqing, who then smiled blandly: "Many thanks for the reminder, Dao Friend; the Lingqu Sect will not affect other forces' business.

However, if the Jin Family deliberately makes things difficult, we are also not the sort to be manipulated at will."

Although his tone was flat, it contained immense confidence and backbone, which instantly made Jin Hao's heart tremble.

"Hmph!"

Jin Hao was secretly wary but could not bring himself to lose face; he immediately let out a cold snort: "Hope Elder Xu's words match his actions."

Having said that, he turned and left with the Supreme Elder.

Watching Jin Hao's departing figure, Xu Linshan said coldly, "Senior Brother, the Jin Family is merely a cultivation clan, yet they actually dare to intimidate us!"

"No need to be angry."

Xu Zhangqing said calmly, "The cultivation world has always been the weak preyed upon by the strong; strength is the only hard truth.

We have just arrived, so it is inevitable we will encounter some forces making things difficult for us and probing us.

As long as we display sufficient strength and foundation, we can make them not dare to look down on us."

He paused, then continued, "Lin Shan, you take everyone and organize the stall first, arrange the spirit plants and pills we brought properly.

Frost Sister and I will go deeper into the Xianfang to investigate the situation, understand the market conditions."

Xu Linshan bowed and replied, "Yes, Senior Brother."

Xu Zhangqing nodded, then led Ruo Qunshuang toward the depths of the Xianfang.

As they walked, they observed the surrounding stalls and shops, understanding the prices and market demand for various items.

The items in the Xianfang were indeed extremely rare; there were many rare spirit plants and top-grade ores that even Xu Zhangqing had never seen before.

There were also some magic tools and magic treasures containing powerful force, which truly broadened the horizons of the two!
