Li Shuidao, wearing a black robe, stood in front of the tall city gate, looking up at the five characters "Five Poison Gates City" engraved on the wall, and his heart was full of expectations.
I have been to the market many times, but this is my first time here.
In the past, I was short of money and knew that coming here would only increase my troubles. Now I have fifteen spiritual stones in my storage bag, I have money in my hand, and I am not panicking, so I can naturally take my time shopping.
As soon as he entered Xiuxianfang City, Li Shuidao immediately felt a unique atmosphere.
Bustling crowds of people passed each other in the narrow streets.
The first thing Li Shuidao noticed was that the streets were filled with various stalls.
Not only are there street stalls in markets, but there are also street markets, and they are even more popular.
The variety of goods on the street stalls is dazzling.
In terms of medicinal herbs alone, the varieties are more comprehensive than those in the market. Most of the medicinal herbs that cannot be bought in the market are periwinkle, but the price is much higher than that in the market.
The periwinkle here is probably grown, and the periwinkle in the market might be picked on the mountain of Dulong Ridge.
Since Li Shuidao lived alone outside the cave, he also discovered a lot of medicinal herbs, but they were all inferior poisonous weeds, and he had never seen periwinkle.
An old Taoist priest placed an old flag in front of the stall with the words "Spiritual Pills and Magical Weapons for Sale" on it, attracting the attention of many passing monks.
Li Shuidao couldn't help but walked over. He saw a crystal clear elixir placed on the stall, filled with fairy spirit and exuding an alluring aroma.
The old Taoist priest enthusiastically introduced: "This is the Xuanling Pill that I refined with thousand-year-old spiritual grass. After taking it, you can greatly improve your cultivation."
Li Shuidao just smiled and had no intention of counter-offering.
Who dares to buy the elixirs on the street stalls?
As long as you dare to make a counteroffer, you will be 100% cheated.
After passing through the stall area, Li Shuidao came to the central square of Xiuxianfang City.
This layout is roughly the same as the market, but the scale is indeed much larger.
The square was bustling with people, and monks in various costumes passed by in an endless stream.
Some were wearing wild robes and looked majestic; some were wearing cloud-patterned robes and had lightning-like eyes; there were also some people who were dressed strangely and had cold faces.
Of course, most of them are wearing the "black robe" like Li Shuidao. After all, this is the standard clothing of the Five Poison Sect.
Colorful flags hang in the square, depicting stories of cultivating immortals and precious fairy grass treasures, attracting the attention of every monk.
Li Shuidao walked to a Xuan Gong Hall. The Xuan Gong Hall displayed a dazzling array of books on various immortal cultivation techniques, divided into categories, and the shelves were filled with scrolls and albums.
Li Shuidao browsed for a while, and found that in addition to the "Five Great True Skills", there were also many mortal martial arts skills, but there was no real unique secret skill.
Turning around and going out, he soon smelled the scent of medicine and looked up to find Baicao Hall.
When the "Qi-promoting pill" in the storage bag is used up, you have to find a way to refine the pill yourself.
But now he doesn't even have the recipe for the Qi-moving elixir. His family must have the relevant recipe, but he has to prove his ability.
It is best to be able to refine a furnace of Eternal Spring Pill. The materials of Eternal Spring Pill are cheap, but the refining is quite difficult. As long as you can refine this thing, your family will recognize it as having the talent of an alchemist.
Just when Li Shuidao was about to go to Baicaotang and gain some insights.
There was a sudden noise behind him, and he saw a group of guards speeding past him, each with a hook and sickle hanging on their waist, and their eyes were sinister.
This is the monk of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Five Poison Sect, also known as the "Gookkan Guard".
They were hanging on iron hooks, which meant that they only had the cultivation level of the psychic realm.
But even if he only has the psychic realm, he still represents the official family.
Li Shuidao once saw a hook and sickle guard take action in the market, and was deeply impressed by these people.
On weekdays, they would not reveal their identity. Only when something big happened would they hang a hook and sickle from their waist to reveal their identity as a law enforcement agency.
Li Shuidao watched the group enter Baicao Hall.
Something big will happen in Baicaotang.
Li Shuidao was not interested in wading into this muddy water, so he turned around and headed to Duobao Pavilion.
As soon as he entered Duobao Pavilion, he was immediately attracted by the dazzling array of treasures displayed by the shelves.
His eyes wandered among various magical instruments, jewelry and antiques.
The golden sword, the gorgeous jade, and the brilliant gemstones all exude an alluring light.
A magical weapon that was almost the same as the Qinglin Jie he owned attracted his attention.
It is placed on a gorgeous stand and exudes a mysterious and powerful atmosphere. This magical weapon is shaped like a pair of scissors, but more delicate. The brown blade is engraved with ancient runes, exuding a heart-shaking power.
Scorpion scissors.
The price of this magic weapon is eight hundred spirit stones, which means that its Qinglin scissors are probably about the same price.
"Eight hundred spirit stones." Li Shuidao tasted the price.
You can probably guess the scarcity of magic weapons in the world of Tianyuan Immortal Cultivation.
"What is this?" Li Shuidao asked, pointing to a cloth bag with holes like lotus pods.
"This is the Gu pocket, which can be used to hold the Five Poisons or other small poisonous insects. Large pet beasts cannot fit in it," the clerk explained.
"Can my own ginseng be put in?" Li Shuidao asked.
"Of course you can. You can keep it safe by putting your own ginseng in the Gu pocket. In addition, this thing has the ability to hold up to fifty poisonous insects." The clerk explained with a smile.
"How to sell this thing?"
"Fourteen hundred jade coins."
"What if I give you twelve spiritual stones?" Li Shuidao asked.
The clerk brought the abacus and calculated the result after a few clicks: "I want you forty jade coins."
Li Shuidao nodded and took out twelve spiritual stones to buy the Gu pocket. The jade toad hidden in his clothes got into the Gu pocket on its own.
Although the Gu pocket was pitch dark, it was quite cool, and the Jade Toad felt no discomfort at all when he stayed in it.
With a sum of jade coins in his hand, Li Shuidao walked into a teahouse, sipped some light green tea and relaxed for a while.
Now there are only three spiritual stones left in my pocket, which is really useless.
"The poison-avoiding beads have been stolen!"
Li Shuidao, who was drinking tea quietly, his ears perked up.
The sound came from the wall behind him.
The wall has only one layer of wood and is not soundproof at all.
"The treasures in Baicao Hall have been stolen! Now the entire city is under search and investigation, and all the monks who went in and out of Baicao Hall today have been arrested. Although the city is calm now, in fact, there is an undercurrent and a tremor. "
"What should we do? Get out of here quickly?" Another person said in panic.
"I came here specifically to tell you this, just to tell you not to leave in a hurry. Nowadays, the city is loose and tight outside. A minor cultivator in the psychic realm like you with no background will be searched if you want to leave the city. If you have any Valuable items must be confiscated directly to line your own pockets.”
"Brother...then what should we do?"
"Stay in the inn for a day and wait for the news to pass before leaving."
"Thank you clan brother for reminding me."
…
Li Shuidao's face looked a little ugly.
Just one Qinglin Scissor in his storage bag is worth eight hundred spirit stones. He has a net worth of nearly a thousand spirit stones, so it's better to be careful.
There will definitely be a lot of people staying in the hotel tonight. If you don't look for it, there won't be a room. If you wander around on the street, you will definitely be questioned and robbed by the hook and sickle guards.
Li Shuidao immediately stood up and looked for the inn anxiously.
Liuyun Inn has an average appearance and is really expensive, costing one hundred jade for a night's stay.
Fortunately, the environment is quite quiet.
After entering the room, Li Shuidao found that although the room was not big, it was neat and clean, and the bed was covered with white bedding.
Li Shuidao nodded with satisfaction and immediately sat on the bed to meditate and prepare to leave Fangshi early tomorrow morning.
