Chapter 92: Cultivator Market

All four bought books that were very satisfactory. Seeing Man Gu, out of interest in history, bought a copy of *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 formation 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 strolling on weekdays: "It's a market that opens once a month. This time it should be the arrival of the Spring Picking Festival, opening early."

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

This is a proper market, not the kind of black market that often has murder and robbery. The four could also see constables patrolling here.

That said, there are also many people in the market who 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 of Lu Yang.

The four people's methods of hiding their identities are different: Meng Jingzhou and Seeing Man Gu chose to wear black robes, feeling that this had an atmosphere, and Meng Jingzhou also laughed 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 Demonic Sect clues 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 patting the tofu mask on Lu Yang's face.

Lu Yang brought the tofu mask.

The inside of the market had quite a cultivation atmosphere. A huge protective cover shrouded the entire market, emitting soft light, which was completely different from the atmosphere outside. Cultivators who hadn't seen each other for a long time drank a small cup in a roadside tavern, talking freely about what they saw and heard recently; cultivators argued with merchants about the price of goods, arguing on reasonable grounds, all trying to earn a few spirit stones from each other; the government office set up a ring, and cultivators who wanted to fight could fight to their heart's content on the ring.

"Take a look, take a look, the Great Strength Pill refined by the ancestral alchemy secret method, eat 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 was opened by a cultivator. I don't know if the one shouting was an apprentice or an alchemist.

"How many spirit stones for one?"

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

The price was not expensive, indicating that the target of the pill was not Lu Yang's Foundation Establishment stage, but the Qi Condensation stage.

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

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

Lu Yang bought one and was about to leave when he saw a constable coming in. Lu Yang had an impression of him. His surname was Sun, and he was Head Constable Wei's follower.

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

The alchemy apprentice was stunned. False advertising?

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

"After our investigation, we found that your Great Strength Pill is suitable for cultivators below the 3rd layer of Qi Condensation to take, and does not have the effect of 'infinite power'. After this warning, I hope you will correct it."

The alchemy 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, eat one, and the power 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 pills didn't exist.

Meng Jingzhou had seen many things and had relatively serious alchemists at home, so he was not very 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? Is this thing 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, resting with his eyes closed. He only opened his eyes when Meng Jingzhou spoke. He had the demeanor of a refining master at a glance.

"This object is called the Flying Stick. Put it on the top of the head and urge it with spiritual energy, and it can rotate and go to the sky. Cultivation at the 7th layer of Qi Condensation can urge it."

Meng Jingzhou was surprised. The small market was really hiding dragons and crouching tigers, with such refining masters.

If there is no special means, Golden Core stage cultivators can fly in the air. If there is a special means, for example, 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 7th layer of Qi Condensation could fly.

The 7th layer of Qi Condensation has thin magic power, and it is difficult to drive flying magic treasures.

"Look, you don't believe it, no matter, I'll demonstrate it for you." The middle-aged man with a beard was full of confidence and took out a wooden puppet.

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

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, and it looked like there was no problem.

If you have to say a problem, it is that when the Flying Stick rotates, it drives the wooden puppet to rotate together, and 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 it were 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 the power of a battle even in the face of the Foundation Establishment stage, and the price is not a loss, one price, eight hundred!"

"Go to your grandfather!" 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 people of Lu Yang were preparing to go to the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce area to turn around. It was relatively formal there and would 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 read "Calculating Heaven and Earth is not as good as calculating people." It looked like business was bleak and no one came.

Seeing the four people of Lu Yang notice him, the fortune teller added with a complaint: "No way, people now don't believe in this set of fortune telling, shouting about my life is not up to heaven, etc. It's not easy to mix a bite to eat."

Lu Yang noticed that he had placed on the table: gossip plate, dice, four treasures of the study, nine copper coins, crystal ball...

Everything that can be used for fortune telling is placed out.

Is it reliable?

And why is there a crystal ball?
