Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#272 - Tianlufang Market

Li Chengfeng believed that the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range should contain many good things discovered by rogue cultivators.

In the scene just now, that palm strike fell, countless stars turned into dust, and living beings were devastated, shocking him beyond words.

When the ancient demons were suppressed, the bacteria they brought from beyond the heavens, along with many rare treasures, may have already been dug up, but there may also be omissions.

However, personally searching for them would be time-consuming and laborious, so he planned to take a stroll around the market, hoping to find a bargain.

In addition, he planned to refine his natal magic weapon, and now was the right time.

He usually fought with spells and had no handy weapon, so this time he would just go and find some.

He had the Three-Life Stone and Airplane Wood, which could be used to create the Life and Death Twin Swords, but he also needed a main material—Geng metal, the harder the better.

Li Chengfeng purchased some hard refining materials from the Treasure Pavilion, but he was not very satisfied with them.

The Treasure Pavilion's branch here did not have any real good things, and to buy good things, he would still need to go to the headquarters.

However, considering that approving large purchases might expose him, and that his strength was still low and could not support such a large amount, he decided to take a more cautious approach.

He planned to buy a small amount of Geng metal from the Treasure Pavilion each time, and accumulate it over the years, which should be enough to gather what he needed.

With a plan in mind, he smiled slightly and said to Zhou Ming, "Since you say so, then let's take a stroll around the market and take a look at the auction.

Even if I don't have the money to buy good things, I can broaden my horizons."

Zhou Ming was even more delighted to hear this. He knew that as long as Li Chengfeng went with him, he could get a commission from the affiliated shops.

Therefore, he tried his best to encourage Li Chengfeng to go to the market, which was a good way for him to earn spirit stones.

Zhou Ming laughed heartily and said, "Fellow Daoist is truly wise. I am very familiar with this place, and I know where the prices are fair,

and where there are good places to find bargains. I am honest and trustworthy and will definitely not let Fellow Daoist waste any spirit stones."

Li Chengfeng smiled, already seeing that Zhou Ming was a little dishonest and might want to lead him to some shops selling fake goods.

But he didn't care, because he had his own judgment. He knew that as long as he had the Cauldron Bottom Dao Source, he could easily identify whether the other party's things were good or bad.

So, Zhou Ming stepped on his flying sword and took Li Chengfeng to the market in front.

It was like a small town, with all kinds of shops lined up.

Due to the control of the local forces, the Treasure Pavilion did not open a branch here, but another very famous Wind and Cloud Pavilion monopolized this area.

However, this was only limited to the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range. There were still many other shops in the entire Qi Kingdom.

Tianlu Market was located in the heart of the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range and was a prosperous and ancient trading place.

The market was surrounded by lush ancient trees, giving people a simple and mysterious feeling.

The sunlight shone through the treetops and fell on the bluestone streets, forming mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of vitality to this ancient market.

Walking into Tianlu Market, you could see shops lined up on both sides of the street, with all kinds of rare magic weapons, elixirs, and materials, which were dazzling.

The shop signs and facades had their own characteristics, some were simple and elegant, while others were full of exotic customs.

The air was filled with the fragrance of various medicinal materials and magic weapons, which made people want to find out.

The market was bustling with people, and cultivators from all directions gathered here to trade and negotiate.

They either stopped in front of the shops to choose their favorite treasures, or gathered together to exchange cultivation experiences and market conditions.

From time to time, you could hear bursts of bargaining, adding a bit of liveliness and vitality to this ancient market.

In the central area of Tianlu Market, there was a towering tower called "Tianlu Tower." The tower was built of bluestone and was carved with various mysterious runes and patterns.

It is said that this tower is the guardian of the market, which can suppress the surrounding evil spirits and protect the peace of the market.

Every time night falls, the lights on the Tianlu Tower will light up, adding a bit of mystery and solemnity to the entire market.

In addition to trading and negotiation, Tianlu Market also often holds various auctions and trade fairs.

These events attract many cultivators to participate. They display their treasures, exchange cultivation experiences, and can even make like-minded friends.

Here, everyone can find their own treasures and opportunities.

Along the way, Zhou Ming was very enthusiastic and took Li Chengfeng to visit several shops.

Li Chengfeng found that most of the things in these shops were defective products, but he didn't mind.

In his opinion, defective products also had their value. As long as the price was reasonable, he would still buy some. He planned to take these damaged magic weapons containing Geng metal back to the blood pool for decomposition, which would save a lot of spirit stones and obtain the required Geng metal.

Therefore, he spent hundreds of low-grade spirit stones to purchase some damaged magic weapons containing Geng metal.

Although these magic weapons could no longer be used, the Geng metal in them was exactly what he needed. For Li Chengfeng, this was undoubtedly a worthwhile transaction.

Zhou Ming observed his words and expressions, often probing, but he could never figure out Li Chengfeng's depth.

He was also very cautious when using spirit stones, and would never spend a penny more.

Zhou Ming knew that there were many people in the world who pretended to be weak to deceive others, so he could not be underestimated.

He rolled his eyes and pretended to be mysterious: "Fellow Daoist, do you know that there will be a Foundation Establishment Stage trade fair at Tianlu Tower tonight? Rogue cultivators from all over the area will gather together.

Many rare treasures appeared at the last Tianlu Trade Fair. I expect this one will not be disappointing either. Maybe Fellow Daoist can find an opportunity there."

Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and nodded, "Very good. Even if I can't get any opportunities, it's still good to broaden my horizons.

This is my first time participating in this kind of auction trade fair. I think it will be eye-opening."

Zhou Ming was happy to see that Li Chengfeng intended to go, but then he looked embarrassed: "However, this trade fair requires a hundred low-grade spirit stones as an entrance fee. We need to plan our spirit stones carefully."

Li Chengfeng frowned when he heard this and shook his head, "In that case, I won't go.

The entrance fee alone is so expensive, I really can't afford it."

Zhou Ming secretly complained in his heart. He originally planned to use Li Chengfeng's hand to get some benefits for himself.

Seeing Li Chengfeng's refusal, he quickly changed his strategy. He rolled his eyes and came up with another plan: "Fellow Daoist, don't worry. You only need to pay your own entrance fee, and I will raise the rest myself, how about that?

I also want to go to the trade fair to try my luck."

Li Chengfeng pondered for a moment and finally nodded in agreement: "Very good."

Although a hundred low-grade spirit stones were nothing to Li Chengfeng, he would not let others take advantage of him for no reason.

Zhou Ming was smooth and worldly, and it could be seen at a glance that he was not a good person. The two were currently only in an employment relationship. If Zhou Ming dared to deceive him, Li Chengfeng would never show mercy and would definitely kill him quickly.

Just as the two of them agreed to participate in the trade fair at night, three people suddenly appeared in front of them.

The leader was a woman. She was beautiful, but she exuded a faint demonic aura. Her watery eyes flowed with a captivating charm, as if she could hook people's souls and make them unable to resist.

Obviously, she was cultivating a demon clan technique. The other two were male cultivators, and their strength was at the mid-Foundation Establishment Stage.

The woman's eyes were sharp. As soon as she saw Zhou Ming, she immediately led the two to surround Li Chengfeng and Zhou Ming.

When Zhou Ming saw this woman, his face immediately turned bitter and he seemed at a loss.

The woman stared at Zhou Ming coldly and questioned, "Zhou, are you here to cheat people again?

Last time, I listened to you and bought some treasures, but 80% of them were fake. You deliberately colluded with the shopkeeper to deceive me.

I finally found you this time. If you don't compensate me with ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones, I will grind your bones to ashes!"
