Chapter 31: Selling Stolen Goods in the Marketplace
Learning of Xia Feilun's tragic end, Lu Changan gave Lin Yi a deep look.
Lin Yi and Zhang Tieshan had a friendship.
This incident was again caused by Zhang Tieshan who made a scene in the sect and sent Xia Feilun into the abyss.
Xia Feilun had disgraced Lin Yi during the three-year engagement back then.
It was hard to say that Lin Yi didn't hold a grudge.
If Lin Yi had played a key role in this incident, Lu Chang'an admitted to underestimating this former young marquis.
Lin Yi's disclosure at this time, perhaps intentionally show hand. He was trying to get Lu Changan, a talisman master, to join his Hidden Immortal Pavilion.
"Zhang Tieshan is also a number one character."
Lu Chang'an thought of Zhao Siyao's evaluation of this person, determined and appreciated by the Outer Peak Elders.
The outer peak elders of the Golden Cloud Valley are at least False Pill real people.
False dan is a dan of poor quality, also known as gray dan or bad dan.
False Dan real people, although their strength is not as good as True Dan or Golden Dan real people, their lifespan is one hundred years longer than that of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and their strength crushes the late Foundation Establishment Stage.
In his last life, Lu Chang'an formed a fair quality True Dan and could not ignore the existence of False Dan cultivators.
"It seems that when I didn't participate in the murderous mansion extermination of ghosts in Hengshui Province back then, I did miss out on a good potential human connection."
Looking back at this moment, Lu Chang'an did not deny this.
But there was no talk of regret either.
People don't have front and back eyes, want to run a low-risk steady business, inevitably lose certain chances.
......
At the foot of the Golden Cloud Valley.
Lu Chang'an and the three of them parted ways, heading in different directions.
Lu Chang'an took out a jade cylinder gifted by Zhao Siyao, which contained information about the map of Liang's Immortal Cultivation World.
On the map, there were large and small Immortal Cultivation forces, including workshops, and some dangerous places.
Even Lake Fei Yue is marked on the map. From the map, the strongest cultivator in Liang, the "Leaving Fire Palace", is located near the center.
The other four powerful Immortal Cultivation Sects, including the Golden Cloud Valley, are scattered in the four directions of Liang.
The Golden Cloud Valley is located in the west side of Liang.
Lu Changan's "Five Peaks Market" is located in the southern part of the Golden Cloud Valley, and it will take half a month to get there.
Lu Changan had a flying boat in his storage bag, but he couldn't use it easily. Generally, the late stage of qi refining doesn't have a flying boat, and the middle stage of qi refining is a bit ostentatious.
On this day, Lu Changan rode a spirit pony and arrived at the Five Peaks Market.
The Five Peaks Market is located in the middle of several high mountains, similar to a basin.
The surrounding mountains are so steep and cloudy that ordinary mortals can't even reach this place.
Lu Changan placed the spirit horse in a good position and transformed himself into a strong man through his bone-shrinking skill and disguise.
He stepped on the lower-grade magic weapon Wu Jin Blade and passed through a cloudy mountain peak.
A bright light suddenly appeared in front of me.
A ten-mile marketplace covered by a second-stage formation came into view.
On the outside of the market, there are trapezoidal fields that rise from the bottom to the top, one by one.
A large area of spiritual fields are planted with orange-gold colored spiritual rice, and from afar, it is quite spectacular to see a golden piece of rice.
Inside the market, there is a patchwork of streets and alleys with elegant architecture and ingenuity.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Light and shadow shuttled through the city, and from time to time there were Immortal Cultivators rising and falling in the city, and the sound of breaking air was constant.
......
The entrance to the Five Peaks Market.
Lu Changan disguised himself as a burly man, simply registered his information, paid a deposit of two spirit stones, and received an identity plate.
If you don't have an identity plate, you will be immediately sensed by the formation.
"Those who enter the marketplace are not allowed to spend the night or meditate. Unless staying at an inn, or renting a cave."
The cultivator guarding the gate reminded.
"Understood."
Lu Chang'an smiled as he entered the marketplace, taking it for granted.
The reason the marketplace has this rule is to prevent entrants from whoring out the Spirit Veins here.
Each spirit vein has an upper limit on the number of cultivators it can supply according to its grade and size.
"Is it your first time in the Five Peaks Marketplace, senior? I would like to guide you to the stores and introduce you to the various areas of the market. It only costs half a spirit stone."
A young man with furtive eyes enthusiastically greeted him.
"Good, you can show me around first."
Lu Chang'an didn't act as some rich brother and gave the teenager thirty taels of spirit sand.
"Thank you senior." The youngster bowed happily.
"The Five Peaks Market is under the 'Wan Jian Zhuo Family', there is a second-order medium-grade spirit vein underneath, the core area is only open to some of the upper-grade caves, and the aura environment in the periphery is comparable to a first-order spirit vein. The east street is a concentration of major stores, good quality, but prices are a bit more expensive. West Street can freely set up stalls to trade......"
"What is that building for?"
Lu Changan pointed to a six-story pavilion with ancient colors and hanging lanterns, standing out from the crowd of stores.
"That's the 'Hundred Fragrant Immortal Building', the immortal girls in the building specialize in music and dance, which can cultivate the emotions and cleanse the mind, helping to break through the heart barrier."
"Just sound and rhythm?"
"The Hundred Fragrance Immortal Tower is not a youth center, but all of the magical girls inside are Immortal Cultivators, specializing in music and rhythm, and all of them have outstanding beauty and pleasant temperament. Of course, if you are 'charming' enough, some of the fairies inside can also open their hearts for you."
The young man heatedly smiled, revealing an expression that all men understand.
"But the entrance fee here is very high, a minimum of five spirit stones. For a top grade immortal girl, the entrance fee is equivalent to a magic weapon."
Lu Chang'an let out a light laugh, not commenting.
After circling around the marketplace.
Lu Chang'an asked a lot of content, mixing rare sights and sounds, and poking around to get the information he needed.
"The Hundred Refinement Workshop, which can build up to a top-grade magic weapon, the chief refiner 'Gu Lai', is the same refiner designated by Zhao Siyao."
"Master Gu Lai refiner has a good reputation and a good word of mouth, but there are many people looking for him to refine weapons, and they often have to queue up."
In addition to Zhao Siyao's commission, Lu Chang'an also found two regular stores that purchased spirit herbs. The first-order spirit sand stones he needed to cultivate the Cloud Sand Body Refining Technique were also available at a material store and a mineral store.
......
After spying on the information, Lu Chang'an didn't act immediately.
He first stayed at an inn in the market for two nights and bought some common resources at random to avoid people from watching him as a new face.
On the third day, he went to the Hundred Refinement Workshop to inquire.
"My master has a lot of magic weapons to build in the near future, so we may have to wait in line until half a year from now. If Your Excellency is in a hurry, why don't you choose one of the other first rank smiths in the workshop."
The short-haired youth who received Lu Chang'an was none other than the disciple of Gu Lai's refiner.
"I don't build artifacts, I want to repair a fine artifact, can you accommodate me."
Lu Chang'an did not move and handed over a small cloth bag.
The short-haired youth took the bag and weighed it with his hand, there were at least ten spirit stones, his face soothed, revealing a hint of a smile:
"If it's just mending a magic weapon, it can be arranged within a month. By the way, what level of magic weapon do you want to repair?"
"The specific repair program, I will discuss it with Master Gu at that time."
Lu Chang'an didn't say it was a top-grade magic weapon.
A complete top-grade magic weapon was worth at least five to six hundred spirit stones, a huge sum of money for an ordinary Qi Refining Stage.
Gu Lai's refiner was reputable and knowledgeable enough not to have crooked thoughts, but that didn't mean his disciples didn't have thoughts.
"Good, I will bring you to see the master later."
The short-haired youth collected the bag and smiled, many customers have confidentiality requirements.
The short-haired youth went in first to inform.
After a long time, he took Lu Changan to the backyard.
Inside a smithy room.
Lu Chang'an saw a gnarled man with bare shoulders, it was the second-ranked refiner Gu Lai, whose cultivation was at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
When the short-haired youth left, Lu Chang'an took out the broken magic weapon Iron Umbrella.
"Iron Luo Umbrella."
Gu Lai rubbed the iron umbrella and pondered for a moment, as if he had seen this magic weapon before, or perhaps even handled it.
"Are you surnamed Zhao?"
"I was entrusted by someone, that friend of mine is surnamed Zhao."
"You've found the right person. This Iron Luo Umbrella is the year I assisted the master to build, the repair cost charge you two hundred spirit stones."
Gu Lai was very simple to say.
Lu Chang'an did not bargain and asked to sign a spirit contract, allowing Gu Lai to put in a trace of mana imprint.
Both sides agreed to repair the artifact within a month.
This kind of spiritual contract is not absolutely binding, it is just a certificate.
It is similar to a secular signature. Because, each cultivator's mana breath is unique.
Lu Changan was prudent, but he did not put in the mana seal himself.
"Cautious boy!"
Seeing Lu Chang'an off, Gu Lai shook his head.
......
The magic weapon is hosted in the Hundred Refinement Workshop.
Lu Chang'an rented a lower class cave for a month in the workshop market. The aura was similar to that of Fei Yue Villa, and with a single monthly rent of three spirit stones, the price-performance ratio was very low.
The following period of time.
He would go out from time to time, disguised as different images, and sell items in the marketplace stores or stalls.
Some of the less conspicuous herbs and medicinal materials are relatively simple to sell.
Pills that cannot be used are sold in batches.
Including three lower-grade artifacts, all of which were obtained from Master Ge Yi.
These stolen goods are not clearly recognizable, so there is no need to worry unless you meet the original owner.
For half a month, Lu Changan has been selling the stolen goods in batches, changing identities, little by little.
In total, he made a profit of nearly 1,000 spirit stones.
The pills are almost out.
However, there are still a few precious herbs that are more than two hundred years old, which are more conspicuous and worth a few hundred spirit stones, so Lu Chang'an doesn't dare to go out easily.
Especially on this day.
Lu Chang'an made a routine check and found that one of the spirit stones he received had been subtly tampered with.
There was a kind of tracking powder attached to the stone, which was invisible to the naked eye and could not be smelled by ordinary people.
Click!
Lu Changan's face did not look good, he crushed the spirit stone, a flame erupted from his palm, and a foul-smelling green smoke rose in the air.
