Chapter 589: Dao companion

Because they were close to the northern Floating Yunshan Range, the straight-line distance from Guiyun Market to Jin Shan Market was much closer than to Qinghe County.

Song Changze and Liu Yuxin traveled with all their might for a day and very quickly arrived outside Guiyun Market.

Although he had been in Foundation Establishment for a period of time, Song Changze had basically been practicing on Funiu Mountain all these years and truly rarely went on long journeys. Apart from helping the family deliver things to Tuoyun Mountain a few times, the furthest place he had been was Pingyang County's Jin Shan Market.

After the last beast turmoil battle, Guiyun Market had now also recovered to its pre-war prosperity. Just arriving outside the market, the two had already seen many cultivators coming and going from the Floating Yunshan Range.

"Hmm! This looks like a big market. I will definitely be able to buy good things today!"

Seeing Liu Yuxin beside him excited and with eyes shining, Song Changze couldn't help but furrow his brows:

"I say, if you want to buy something, just tell Sixteenth Uncle. The things that can be found in the market, it's not like our Song family has no way to get them. Is it worth it to run here and waste time looking for them yourself?"

"You don't understand this, do you? The things I can find myself are what are called good things. You sit on the mountain all day long and just open your mouth to get them; what fun can there be."

"I say, you are young, how come you are just like those old fellows, your brain is not enlightened? You only know how to practice in seclusion all day long, dreaming of flying up and living forever." After Liu Yuxin finished speaking, she shook her head at Song Changze with a disappointed face.

"Hmph! We cultivators enter the Dao to practice; if we don't seek the long-life Dao, then what is it for? Could it be for playing around everywhere like you? In this way, what difference is there between us and those ordinary mortals."

"Mortals' lifespan is shorter than yours, but the things they experience in a lifetime are also not few. Even if you live a hundred years longer, but spend most of your time practicing in seclusion, how much better can you be than them in the end?"

"If you don't practice diligently now, how can you obtain the Dao and advance further? According to what you say, does everyone not need to practice on the mountain, and their cultivation will increase on its own?"

Liu Yuxin heard this and shook her head angrily: "How do you talk? When did I say that everyone doesn't need to practice? I'm just asking you to go out and walk more, and not always hide on the mountain and practice bitterly."

"Your family's Chen Chen Laozu Qingming often went out to experience when he was in the Qi Refining stage. Doesn't he also have the Jin Dan Dao now? Do you think this is also wasting cultivation?"

"This..."

Hearing the other party mention the matter of their own Chen Chen Laozu going out to experience alone back then, Song Changze was also speechless by what was said. He didn't know how to refute her and could only turn his face away with a frustrated face and look elsewhere.

When Song Changze entered the Dao to practice, the Song family was already flourishing and was the number one cultivation clan in Qinghe County.

With good natural talent, plus being the descendant of the fourth uncle Song Changqiu, he had been deeply loved by the two family ancestors, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, since he was a child.

Therefore, Song Changze's cultivation had always been relatively smooth, and he had never lacked any cultivation resources. Naturally, he found it a bit difficult to understand the thoughts of Song Qingming, who went out to experience to find opportunities back then.

However, the fact that their own Chen Chen Laozu went from a small Qi Refining cultivator to successfully establishing Foundation, and even now achieving the Jin Dan Dao, were all indisputable facts. Song Changze truly had no way to refute the other party on this point.

After the two entered the market, not only was Liu Yuxin excited, but Song Changze, who was visiting Guiyun Market for the first time, also revealed a trace of surprise on his face when he saw some things he hadn't seen before on the street.

Having spent most of his time on the mountain since he was a child, even after Foundation Establishment, he rarely went out to other markets. Song Changze was also carrying family tasks and basically didn't wander around much.

Ever since Liu Yuxin entered the Dao, she had always been in the East Sea cultivation world. She had never seen some of the unique spiritual objects in the Floating Yunshan Range side. Once she saw something she liked, she couldn't stop, and very quickly, her storage bag was already filled with quite a few things.

After following Liu Yuxin through Guiyun Market for a while, watching her serious appearance of bargaining with those shopkeepers, Song Changze also gained quite a lot of knowledge, and the displeasure on his face slowly relaxed unknowingly.

"Daoist Song, how about it? This pearl flower is not bad, right?"

Song Changze nodded, then said with some strangeness: "You are, after all, a dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator. Is it necessary to fight wits with those Qi Refining small cultivators for a few spirit stones?"

"Hehe! So what if I am a Foundation Establishment cultivator? I came here to buy things. Isn't it very normal to bargain when buying things? You think my spirit stones all fell from the sky!"

"Not enough spirit stones to use, yet still spending them randomly like this. I truly don't understand such a person."

After muttering a sentence in his heart, Song Changze, who had already become somewhat accustomed to Liu Yuxin's big principles, saw this and hurriedly closed his mouth, choosing not to argue with the other party head-on again.

After the two walked a large circle in Guiyun Market, they came to a shop selling various magic tools.

As soon as they entered the door, a second-grade low-quality white cloak hanging in front of the counter instantly attracted Liu Yuxin's gaze, making her walk towards that side with a happy face.

Just as she walked halfway, a middle-aged shopkeeper at the counter immediately stepped forward to greet her.

"Guest, you truly have a good eye. This cloak was just made and sent over by our shop's refiner. Look, we haven't even had time to wrap it up yet."

"Oh! How many spirit stones for this magic robe?"

Seeing that Liu Yuxin seemed to like it very much, the shopkeeper squinted his eyes and hurriedly said:

"This magic robe is refined from the feathers of a second-grade Wind Feather Bird and quite a lot of second-grade refined copper. After wearing it, it can increase a cultivator's escape speed by at least twenty percent. Cultivators above the ninth layer of Qi Refining can all use it."

"I am not bragging to you; apart from my place here, it is impossible for you to find another similar one in the entire market. Since it is the first time the two of you have come to my shop, I certainly won't quote a random price."

"One price: six hundred and fifty spirit stones."

Hearing the price quoted by the shopkeeper, Liu Yuxin looked at the other party with a calm face, then revealed a trace of disappointment and turned around to walk out.

Seeing this scene, the smile that had been overflowing on the shopkeeper's face immediately stiffened, and he hurriedly chased after her.

"Sigh! Guest, don't go! If you are not satisfied, this price can still be discussed!"

Liu Yuxin didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper who was still beside her and directly said to Song Changze, who was still waiting on the side: "Follow me to other places to take a look!"

Seeing that Liu Yuxin didn't look as easy to fool as she appeared on the surface, the shopkeeper also knew that he had miscalculated and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her:

"Guest, don't be so anxious. How about this! You quote a price directly. How many spirit stones? If it's suitable, we will close the deal immediately, how about it?"

"Four hundred and fifty spirit stones." Liu Yuxin quoted a price with an indifferent face.

"Guest, this price of yours is indeed a bit too low. Our magic robe is..."

Just as the words in the shopkeeper's mouth were halfway through, Liu Yuxin immediately turned around, lifted her feet, bypassed him, and walked towards the door again.

"Sigh! Guest, don't... don't go! Just four hundred and fifty spirit stones! I'll earn your spirit stones and make a friend. Is this alright!"

Seeing that the shopkeeper had already relented, Liu Yuxin's footsteps stopped. She turned around and smiled somewhat triumphantly: "This is about right. Go help me wrap it up first!"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and ran to the counter happily.

Song Changze, who was standing on the side, seeing the process of Liu Yuxin's skilled bargaining just now, also secretly admired her a bit in his heart. Although this woman's temper was a bit too big, her character was not like what he had thought before, a spoiled appearance.

If you want to talk about the ability to deal with others outside, apart from the few ancestors and Sixteenth Uncle Song Yuanfang on Funiu Mountain, there truly weren't many people who could be stronger than her in this aspect.

Just when Song Changze was lost in thought, Liu Yuxin turned around and came before him, stretching out her jade hand to him.

"The spirit stones on me have already been spent quite a lot before. Lend me three hundred spirit stones first."

Seeing the Liu Yuxin before his eyes staring at him with a calm face, Song Changze was also stunned for a moment before reacting. He almost couldn't help but want to curse at the other party on the spot.

"You don't have spirit stones on you; what were you bargaining with the other person for just now?"

"I don't have enough on me, but I think the few spirit stones on you should still be there!" Liu Yuxin said self-righteously.

Song Changze saw her tone, actually saying it so naturally, and replied with an unhappy face: "Whether I have spirit stones on me or not, what does it have to do with you? You think my spirit stones all fell from the sky? You want a few hundred spirit stones just because you want them."

The shop assistant on the side had just sent away two guests and turned around to see Song Changze and Liu Yuxin arguing because of a few spirit stones. He hurriedly stepped forward to persuade:

"Guest, when you are out and about, it is common for friends to help each other. Not to mention that you are still Dao companions."

"Who is a Dao companion with her/him!"

"Ah! Sorry, the two of you. It was my eyes that were clumsy..." Feeling the unkind gazes shot at them by Song Changze and the other, the shop assistant, who knew he had made a slip of the tongue, hurriedly bowed and apologized to the two.

"It has nothing to do with you. Walk away a bit." Seeing that the shop assistant seemed to have misunderstood the relationship between the two of them, Song Changze, who was a bit embarrassed, hurriedly called him to retreat.

Liu Yuxin, whose face had just revealed a trace of faint red, adjusted her expression and asked Song Changze: "Are you sure you are not going to lend them? Don't regret it later!"

Seeing Liu Yuxin looking at him seriously, Song Changze thought about it and still shook his head firmly.

"Sigh! Originally I wanted to buy this magic robe and go back, but it seems I can't get my wish. Then let's go to other places to stroll around. When I'm in a better mood, I'll go back with you!"
