Chapter 434
The market was located in an open space, covering a large area and surrounded by mountains.
This was a relatively large market, and there were many cultivators coming in and out, but most of them were in groups of three to five. There were very few who came alone like Zi Chen.
Zi Chen's appearance alone attracted a lot of attention, but they only glanced at him and were a little surprised.
There were also some medium-sized forces in the vicinity that were close to the market. Occasionally, there would be some who came alone, so the crowd did not find it strange.
No one knew that this was a person who had come alone from the outer regions and fought for several months to reach this place.
Along the way, Zi Chen had experienced countless battles, big and small. He knew very well how dangerous this journey was. Normally, it would be impossible for him to reach this place by flying alone.
Outside the market, there were Flying Realm experts guarding. After paying 655 yuan stones, Zi Chen smoothly entered.
"Selling buns, big, fragrant and cheap buns, only 055 yuan stones."
"Big and sweet sugar-coated haws, super cheap, 355 yuan stones for a skewer."
"Barbecue wings, selling barbecue wings, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, free if not delicious."
As soon as Zi Chen entered, he heard the sounds of hawking. He was startled, feeling as if he had come to a city. Although this was a market, it was no different from a city. There were inns, restaurants, and all kinds of places.
The only difference between this place and the city was that there were no mortals here. Everyone was a cultivator. Even the peddlers were all powerhouses who could fly.
Fighting was prohibited in the market, and it could be considered a rare pure land in the Chaotic Lands. In order to maintain this pure land, in addition to strong martial power, one also needed a large amount of yuan stones.
The prices here were high. Even sugar-coated haws cost a few hundred yuan stones, and a skewer of barbecue wings cost a thousand yuan stones. It was said that the wings of a demon bird were very delicious.
The only thing that could be considered cheap was the 655 yuan stones required to enter the market.
From the outer regions to here, Zi Chen had traveled for several months. Along the way, he had fought countless fierce battles, and his mind was exhausted. Now that he had arrived here, there were no more battles, no more killing, and he could finally relax.
As a result, he allowed himself to indulge for a day. He brought the Devil Ape to eat and drink in such an unbridled manner. Primordial stones flowed out like water, attracting the sidelong glances of many people in the city.
The man and the ape ate until the sky was about to turn dark, and they could no longer eat anything by themselves. Only then did they walk into a high-end inn. The inn provided both food and lodging. At this moment, there were many cultivators eating there, and almost all of them were in the late stage of the Flight Piercing Realm.
The owner of the inn was a Butterball. His eyes were very small, and he exuded the aura of a businessman.
"Little friend, are you looking for a meal or a place to stay?" The innkeeper smiled like a businessman.
"Lodging? How much for one day?" Zi Chen asked.
When Butterball told Zi Chen the price, even though he had robbed a lot of wealth along the way and was as rich as a tycoon, he was still stunned.
Ordinary rooms cost five thousand yuan stones a night, medium rooms cost ten thousand yuan a day. Other than that, there were also high class rooms that cost twenty to thirty thousand yuan a day, and luxurious rooms cost fifty thousand yuan a day.
"This is simply daylight robbery."
Zi Chen could not help but click his tongue. Along the way, he had killed many Flight Piercing Realm cultivators, and many of them did not have fifty thousand yuan stones in their Spiritual Rings. However, staying here for a day would cost him fifty thousand yuan stones.
Seeing Zi Chen's expression, Butterball laughed. A hint of disdain flashed across his eyes.
"I'm being looked down upon." Zi Chen was furious. He clenched his teeth and made up his mind, "Fine, I'll stay for fifty thousand yuan then."
Since he had decided to indulge, he would go all the way.
"What? Fifty thousand yuan?" Butterball was a little surprised, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"That's right, fifty thousand yuan." Seeing Butterball's reaction, Zi Chen could not help but feel a sense of relief.
"I'm sorry about that, but this room has been reserved in advance." Butterball's expression was extremely awkward.
"What? Reserved? Didn't you say you had it before? Did you deliberately say that because I can't afford it?" Zi Chen frowned and raised his voice in dissatisfaction.
"This … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this … this …"
Zi Chen was shocked. There was indeed a tycoon who reserved it ten days ago, and the person had not arrived yet. In other words, the other party had wasted five hundred thousand yuan stones.
"I'm sorry, young friend. I'm getting old, and my memory isn't very good. Although I don't have a fifty thousand yuan luxury room, I still have a thirty thousand yuan one. This is not bad either. The Spiritual Qi in the room is five times that of the outside world, and it's fully equipped." Butterball explained.
"Since you don't have a fifty thousand yuan one, give me a five thousand yuan one." Zi Chen looked disappointed.
"Ah." The smile on Butterball's face froze again. Fifty thousand yuan to five thousand yuan, the contrast before and after was too big.
"If you want to stay, stay in the best. Since you don't have it, choose the worst."
Zi Chen raised his head and said proudly. After that, he ignored Butterball's frozen and stunned expression and gave him fifty thousand yuan stones for ten days.
The yuan stones had been placed in front of him, Butterball had nothing to say. He could only call a service staff to take Zi Chen to the accommodation.
"This little guy, is he deliberately annoying me?"
Looking at Zi Chen's disappearing back, Butterball shook his head and gently rubbed his back. "Didn't the young master say that he would arrive in a few days? Why hasn't he appeared yet? I've been standing here for a few days. If he doesn't come, my old bones won't be able to bear it."
After Zi Chen left, many people in the hall looked sideways and talked about it.
"Where did this kid come from? He's just at the early stage of the Zephyr Realm, but he wants to stay in a fifty thousand yuan room."
"I think he deliberately said that to pretend to be a wolf, but in the end, he still stayed in a room of five thousand yuan."
"Whether it's intentional or not, a mere early stage of the Zephyr Realm can stay in a room of five thousand yuan. It's not ordinary."
After Zi Chen left, everyone was talking about it. Those who could appear here were not ordinary people. Almost all of them were at the late stage of the Zephyr Realm. But even they did not have the courage to stay in a room of fifty thousand yuan.
The more expensive the room, the richer the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi in it. Among them, fifty thousand yuan was more than ten times the outside world.
Even if it was an ordinary room of five thousand yuan, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi was extremely rich. The room was very big and worth the money. However, Zi Chen did not cultivate that night. Instead, he had a comfortable sleep.
The next day, early in the morning.
After eating the prepared snacks, Zi Chen left the inn. Today, he was going to walk around the market to find what he needed.
Zi Chen inquired that there was a private trading place in the south of the market. One could enter after paying enough yuan stones.
After paying the entrance fee of one hundred yuan stones, Zi Chen strode in. After that, he saw a dazzling array of items. These items emitted a gorgeous light that captured one's soul. Rich Spirit Qi filled the trading place.
There were many wondrous items here, as well as spirit medicines and all sorts of refining materials. There was a wide variety of items, and almost everything could be found here. At the moment, there were quite a few cultivators picking and choosing, then haggling over the price. It was like a market for mortals, bustling with activity.
However, Zi Chen's gaze swept across, and his face could not help but be a little disappointed. There were many refining materials here, but they were all used to refine Spirit Weapons. They were not of much use to him.
Some of the spirit herbs were even outrageously expensive. Even Zi Chen, who was comparable to a nouveau riche, could not accept it. Moreover, the strange items mentioned by the introducer before, as Zi Chen's powerful spiritual sense swept through, his nose almost became crooked from anger. They were all fake.
After glancing around and not finding anything suitable for him, Zi Chen turned around and left.
"It seems that I can only look for those big trading places."
Before coming here, Zi Chen was filled with anticipation after hearing the introducer's words. He thought that he would be able to find some rare items, but who would have thought that after looking around, there was not a single item that caught his eye. Most of the rare items were fakes.
"Hey, you came out so quickly." As soon as Zi Chen appeared, a thin man in the air greeted Zi Chen.
"You liar, what strange items? It's all junk. Give me back one hundred yuan stones." Seeing the other party, Zi Chen glared. He was the one who introduced him before.
"Impossible, you are only in the early stage of the Zephyr Air Realm. It is impossible that there is nothing you can use. Is your vision too high?" The introducer was in the middle stage of the Zephyr Air Realm. He looked at Zi Chen in disbelief.
"Cut the crap, there is nothing I want in this place. Introduce me to a bigger trading place." Zi Chen said in a bad mood.
"Then let's go to the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion. It is said that there are thousands of treasures in it. It is in the center of the market, the tallest and biggest building. It's just that the things inside are relatively more expensive." The middle stage of the Zephyr Air Realm said.
In the center of the market, there is a huge trading place called the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion. It is said that it was built by the owner of the market. Although it is not said that there are thousands of treasures, it is relatively complete. Occasionally, there will be auctions, and once in a while, there will be alchemy weapons.
After listening to the introducer, Zi Chen directly gave him one hundred yuan stones and went straight to the central trading place.
"Hey, since you are so generous, I will tell you a piece of news for free." The middle stage of the Zephyr Air Realm stopped Zi Chen, "Someone is eyeing you, fat sheep, be careful."
Zi Chen turned his head and suddenly smiled, "Aren't you eyeing me too?"
The middle stage of the Zephyr Air Realm was slightly startled. Zi Chen had already left, but his words echoed in his ears, "I like the name of fat sheep, I like others to call me a local tyrant."
"Local tyrant." The middle stage of the Zephyr Air Realm was startled and didn't understand.
"Hey, that one doesn't count. I will give you another one for free. There will be a fairy coming to our market in a few days. It is said that she is as beautiful as a fairy. She is a real fairy who has descended to the mortal world. Don't be in a hurry to leave and miss the chance to see the fairy's peerless face." The middle stage of the Zephyr Air Realm shouted at Zi Chen's disappearing back.
The Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, the largest trading place in this market.
As soon as he arrived, Zi Chen saw many late stage of the Zephyr Air Realm going in and out. Their faces were full of joy. Obviously, they had a harvest.
It was indeed a big trading place. The things here had been clearly classified. Spiritual medicine, weapons, pills, refining materials, and so on were all neatly placed.
