Chapter 92: Cultivator Market

All four bought books that were very satisfactory. Man Gu, out of interest in history, bought a book called *Wild History of the Great Xia*.

It recorded many stories that even Meng Jingzhou, who knew the inside story, felt were wild enough.

In any case, all four were satisfied.

Walking and walking, the four found that there were fewer and fewer mortals around, and more and more cultivators, as if there was a mysterious force separating mortals and cultivators.

Lan Ting transmitted to the other three: "An expulsion-type array has been set up nearby. Mortals will involuntarily stay away from here, while cultivators are unaffected."

Meng Jingzhou suddenly realized, remembering the news he got when wandering around on weekdays: "It’s a market that opens once a month. This time it should be the arrival of the Spring Picking Festival, opening in advance."

The Spring Picking Festival attracts not only mortals but also cultivators.

This is a proper market, not the kind of black market where people often kill and steal goods. The four can also see constables patrolling here.

That said, many people in the market also use masks, black robes, etc. to hide their identities.

This is very common. Some cultivators hide among the people as mortals. If they come here with their true faces, wouldn't their identities be exposed?

For example, the four Lu Yang.

The four have different ways of hiding their identities: Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu choose to wear black robes, feeling that this has an atmosphere. Meng Jingzhou also laughed *jie jie jie* a few times.

Lan Ting took off the Transformation Talisman, revealing that stunningly beautiful face of clear water hibiscus. She used her true face when looking for clues of the Demonic Sect in Yanjiang County.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou discussed: "Should I perform a set of Shape-Mimicry Boxing and turn into your appearance?"

The response was Meng Jingzhou slapping the tofu mask on Lu Yang’s face.

Lu Yang put on the tofu mask.

The inside of the market has quite a cultivation atmosphere. A huge protective cover covers the entire market, emitting soft light, which is very different from the atmosphere outside. Cultivators who haven't seen each other for a long time drink a small cup in the roadside tavern, talking about what they have seen and heard recently; cultivators and vendors argue about the price of goods, arguing with reason, all trying to earn a few spirit stones from each other; the government sets up a ring, and cultivators who want to fight can fight to their heart’s content in the ring.

"Take a look, take a look, the Great Strength Pill refined by the ancestral alchemy secret method, take one, and you will be infinitely powerful!"

Lu Yang found it interesting. He followed the sound and found that this was a medical center.

It seems that this medical center is opened by a cultivator. I don't know if the one shouting is an apprentice or an alchemist.

"How many spirit stones for one?"

The alchemist apprentice said: "Ten spirit stones for one, buy three get one free, buy five get two free."

The price is not expensive, indicating that the target of the elixir is not Lu Yang’s Foundation Establishment stage, but the Qi Refining stage.

Lu Yang wanted to buy two as a souvenir. This was the first time he saw elixirs refined by people other than the Dao Seeking Sect: "What about the effect?"

"It can enhance strength in a short time, and will fall into a half-day weakness after the strength fades."

Lu Yang bought one and was about to leave when a constable came in. Lu Yang had an impression of him, surnamed Sun, who was Commandant Wei’s follower.

"I received a report here that your Great Strength Pill involves false advertising."

The alchemist apprentice was stunned, false advertising?

Constable Sun explained seriously: "According to the law, you cannot use words like 'most' and 'infinite' when promoting products."

"We investigated and found that your Great Strength Pill is suitable for cultivators below the third level of Qi Refining, and does not have the effect of 'infinite strength'. After this warning, I hope you will correct it."

The alchemist apprentice nodded honestly. After Lu Yang left, he heard a voice from the medical center:

"Take a look, take a look, the Great Strength Pill refined by the ancestral alchemy secret method, take one, and the strength is limited!"

Lu Yang suddenly felt that the Ten-Ox Strength Pill refined by Senior Brother Wu Ming really had no problems, and even the most common false advertising problem of elixirs did not exist.

Meng Jingzhou had seen many things and had relatively serious alchemists at home, so he was not interested in common objects.

"What is this?"

Meng Jingzhou picked up a small gadget from the street stall, two wooden sticks stuck together vertically: "Making pancakes? This thing is also sold in the market?"

The owner of the small stall was a middle-aged man with a full beard, looking serious, old and calm, closing his eyes to rest. He only opened his eyes when Meng Jingzhou spoke. One look and he had the demeanor of an alchemy master.

"This thing is called the Flying Stick. Put it on your head and drive it with spiritual energy, and it can rotate and go to the sky. Seventh level of Qi Refining can drive it."

Meng Jingzhou was surprised. The small market was truly hidden with dragons and crouching tigers, with such alchemy masters.

If there is no special means, Core Formation cultivators can fly in the air. If there is a special means, such as Lu Yang can fly with a sword at the Foundation Establishment stage, or Lu Yang can transform into a crane with Shape-Mimicry Boxing, he can also fly.

Whether it is a general situation or a special situation, the lowest requirement for cultivation is the Foundation Establishment stage.

Meng Jingzhou had never heard that the seventh level of Qi Refining could fly to the sky.

The seventh level of Qi Refining has thin mana, and it is difficult to drive flying magic treasures.

"Look, you don't believe it. It doesn't matter, I will demonstrate it for you." The bearded middle-aged man was full of confidence and took out a wooden puppet.

He tied the Flying Stick to the wooden puppet and hit a trace of spiritual energy from his fingertips to the Flying Stick.

The Flying Stick seemed to have just woken up, first rotating slowly, and the rotation speed became faster and faster. In the end, only the afterimage could be seen.

The Flying Stick took the wooden puppet to the sky together, looking like there was no problem.

If you have to say a problem, it is that the rotation of the Flying Stick drives the wooden puppet to rotate together. The wooden puppet takes the head as the center of the circle, and the body rotates at high speed, keeping the same frequency as the Flying Stick!

If there was a person under the Flying Stick, the brain pulp would be turned evenly.

"Look, I said our puppet quality is good, it won't fall apart even if it turns so fast. It’s not that I’m bragging, this puppet of mine has a battle power even in the face of the Foundation Establishment stage, and the price is not a loss, one price, eight hundred!"

"Go to your uncle!" Meng Jingzhou finally understood. The other party was simply pushing puppets under the name of the Flying Stick!

It can be seen that the market is full of deceit, and people as sincere as Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou are already rare.

The four Lu Yang prepared to go to the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce area to turn around. It is more formal there and will not have the various situations just now.

"Four guests, do you need to calculate a hexagram?"

A voice sounded beside the four. Lu Yang looked back and saw that it was a fortune teller, with a gossip flag hanging behind him, which said "Calculating heaven and earth is not as good as calculating people". It looked like business was bleak and no one came.

The fortune teller saw the four Lu Yang notice himself and added with a complaining meaning: "No way, people now don't believe in fortune telling, shouting that my life is not up to heaven, it’s not easy to mix a meal."

"Some people like to use gossip to tell fortunes, so I prepared a gossip plate."

"Some people want to calculate gambling luck, so I prepared dice."

"Some people think that measuring characters is accurate, so I prepared the Four Treasures of the Study."

"Some people think that throwing copper coins is the most useful, so I prepared nine large coins."

"And this crystal ball, this is a trend that has risen in the East Sea in recent years. People like to use crystal balls to tell fortunes. I also learned a hand in the East Sea for this."

"And this crystal ball can tell fortunes on the surface, and can watch small videos in the dark. One tool earns two shares of money."
