Chapter 55 Guyuanfang City
Chen Lin took a look at the storage bag on the young man's waist and said: "I'm Lin San, who came here to participate in the trade fair. I heard from people in the city that Xiuxianfang City is here. , I came here to take a look first, I don’t know your friend’s name, but he is a local cultivator?”
He made up a random name, and then handed it over.
“Haha, it’s easy to say. My patron, He Xiao, was invited by Zhao’s Trading Company to participate in the security matters of this trading conference. Fellow Taoists came a little early, but there should be some fellow Taoists who came in advance. , let’s go in together!”
“It turns out that we are fellow Taoists from the patron sect, so it’s better to be respectful than to obey!”
Chen Lin clasped his fists and followed the other person towards the gate tower, with an undetectable flash of strange color in his eyes.
He never expected it to be such a coincidence. This person turned out to be a disciple of the Guoshan Sect, and he couldn't tell clearly about his cultivation. He should be a monk in the late stage of Qi training.
I just don’t know what the relationship between this person and that Li Ziqing is, and whether Li Ziqing is here too.
But now that he has changed his appearance, it doesn’t matter if we meet him, we can just pretend not to recognize him.
While thinking, the two came to the city gate tower.
I saw He Xiao reaching out and sweeping a huge boulder outside the door. The white mist at the door was cleared, and then the noise suddenly reached his ears.
Seeing the surprise on Chen Lin's face, He Xiao smiled and asked, "Is this your first time in Guyuanfang City, Fellow Daoist Lin?"
Chen Lin nodded, " To be honest, fellow Taoist, I have just broken through to the middle stage of Qi training. I have been practicing at home and rarely go out."
"That's not surprising. This stone is a induction stone, mainly used to identify people coming. As a monk, you can open the gate of Fangshi with just a little bit of mana. Otherwise, you will be transported to another place as long as you enter the white mist."
"Of course, this is the lowest level of illusion. You can see through it by using the Peeping Technique, and you can easily break in during the middle stage of Qi training, but that will look very unfriendly and will be targeted by the guards in the city.”
He Xiao explained patiently.
Chen Lin hurriedly clasped his fists and thanked: "That's it. Thank you, Fellow Taoist He, for clarifying my doubts."
He Xiao waved his hand and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, we are all of the same mind. I will be at Fangshi these days until the end of the fair If you have any questions, you can come to me. Well, fellow Taoist, you can go sightseeing on your own. I have to go to Zhao’s Trading Company first.”
“Ah, congratulations, fellow Taoist.”
Chen Lin clasped his fists and watched the other party leave, then looked at the market.
The market area is not small, but there are not many buildings, only a dozen or so, and the rest are for stalls.
One of the most luxurious buildings is in the middle of the street, with a gilded plaque hanging on it with the four characters "Zhao's Trading Company" written on it.
There are not many monks setting up stalls outside at the moment, and it seems a bit deserted.
Chen Lin looked around as he walked and found that the items sold were all very low-end, mostly talisman paper, ordinary herbal medicines, or low-grade ores, and there were basically no slightly higher-end items.
After reading all the stalls, he couldn't help but be disappointed.
The things here are worse than the shantytowns in Kaiyuan City, let alone the inner city.
He lost interest in continuing to browse the stalls and walked into a shop casually.
This store is called Ruyifang. Although it is not as big as Zhao's Trading Company, it is not small, and the interior is also brightly decorated.
Walking into Ruyifang, the store was deserted. Apart from him, there was only an old monk looking at the items on the counter.
“What does this fellow Taoist want to buy?”
A young female cultivator who only had the first level of Qi training came up, but unfortunately she looked ordinary.
"Oh, I just want to take a look."
Chen Lin waved his hand, indicating that the other party should not worry about him, and then came to the counter to check them one by one.
After looking at it for a while, I couldn't help but frown.
There are too few things and they are too low-level.
Although it is better than the stalls outside, it is not much better.
He didn't even see a single spiritual herb or elixir, not to mention any finished elixirs or prescriptions.
"Shopkeeper, do you only have these things?" This was so different from what he imagined, Chen Lin couldn't help but wonder.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man with a third level of qi training. Hearing this, he walked closer and said: "There really hasn't been any good stuff recently, mainly because everyone is waiting for the trade fair. , I can’t collect better materials at all. If you want to buy anything, you can tell me and I’ll see if I have it in stock.”
Chen Lin suddenly realized what he said.
He ignored this.
The annual trading conference is about to start. Anyone who has good stuff will save it and sell it at that time. The same should be true for these stores.
No wonder Baiyun Yue couldn’t buy red ginseng and had to go to Duan Meng Mountain to find it.
He felt that he should also refine more Chuyuan Dan, or make more talismans, so that he would not be able to exchange the items when he saw what he wanted.
In addition, some thunderbolt beads also need to be refined, especially a thunderbolt No. 4. This object is the strongest method he can use at present.
Thinking of this, he immediately named several materials.
It’s really good. I bought some materials for thunder beads, and also bought a lot of materials for making fireball talismans and powerful talismans.
But only one kind of material for refining Chuyuan Dan was purchased.
The most important thing is that the price of elixir here is much more expensive than that in Kaiyuan City!
If the shopkeeper hadn't vowed that it would never be more expensive than the ones sold in other stores, he would have turned around and left!
Next, Chen Lin visited several shops, including Zhao's Trading Company, and finally bought seven or eight pieces of thunder beads and materials for making talismans, and the quantity was basically enough.
I also bought two magic secrets, one for the spying technique mentioned by He Xiao before, and one for the water arrow technique.
At this time, he discovered that except for the elixir, other materials were much cheaper than those in Kaiyuan City. Especially Lingmi Lingjiu and other products are just as cheap as compared to Kaiyuan City.
This phenomenon surprised him very much.
But after thinking for a while, some possibilities came to mind, that is, Kaiyuan City is deep in the mountains, it is relatively convenient to collect elixirs, and there are many monks.
But because Kaiyuan City can only be entered but not exited, and it is also restricted by the weird range, no one will plant spiritual rice and the like, and the ores used for refining can only be limited to a certain range. mined within, so other materials will become expensive.
This is the price difference caused by different regions.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but regret it. If he had done this earlier, he would have stocked up on more elixirs and made a small profit.
It's a pity that it's too late to say anything. Now the materials for the Chu Yuan Dan and the previous reserves can only barely make up ten quantities, and only two materials for the Enlightenment Pill have been purchased.
This made him very depressed.
His Chuyuan Pill and Enlightenment Pill are not normal pill recipes. The elixirs used are of very low level. Even if they are not collected together, the things in this market are too shabby.
After thinking about it, Chen Lin felt that the timing was wrong. These profiteers had kept the good stuff and were waiting to sell it at a high price at the trade fair!
Fortunately, the deal is coming soon, and you should be able to buy everything you need by then.
The top priority is to buy some elixirs such as the Resurrection Pill, or heavenly materials and earthly treasures containing pure spiritual power, so that the nameless sword energy can be condensed again.
There are not many blood energy pills left, so the melanin worms must be eliminated.
After walking around the city again, Chen Lin walked out.
As soon as I walked out of the gatehouse, I saw a group of monks coming hand in hand, both men and women.
He took a look, and his eyes suddenly froze.
But he immediately concealed his surprise and hurriedly passed by.
After walking far away, he looked back and found that the group had entered the textile market.
“Is it her?”
Chen Lin was sure that he was not mistaken. A young female cultivator in the group just now seemed to be Han Lingyue from the Han family among the five major families!
This person was very famous in Kaiyuan City at the beginning. He reached the late stage of Qi training when he was eighteen years old, and his appearance and temperament were top-notch. He was a star figure in Kaiyuan City.
The original owner had some assumptions about this woman in his memory, but of course, they were just assumptions.
