Crisis Is Approaching
After obtaining the spiritual materials, Ling Pengyun did not leave the Hundred Spirits Artifact Hall directly, but instead went up the stairs inside the Hundred Spirits Artifact Hall Hundred Spirits Artifact Hall to the second floor.
The second floor of the Hundred Spirits Artifact Hall is not much different from the first floor in essence, except that the Law Artifact on the second floor are all of the First-Tier Superior-Grade, and there are fewer of them.
Furthermore, this second floor had only one elderly steward who turned the pages of the classics, and no servants or visitors.
Upon seeing Ling Pengyun's arrival, the elderly steward merely nodded symbolically to Ling Pengyun before lowering his head again to peruse the books in his hands.
"This person's aura is several times stronger than mine, but he doesn't have the smoothness of someone at the Qi Training Completion Realm. He should have at least the Qi Training Eighth Layer Refining, most likely the ninth Qi Training Ninth Layer." Ling Pengyun's gaze swept over the elderly manager standing behind the counter, sensing the faint aura emanating from the old man, and secretly guessed the man's cultivation level.
Knowing the cultivation level of the elderly steward, Ling Pengyun stopped paying attention to him and instead focused his gaze on the dozens of First-Tier Superior-Grade Law Artifact displayed on the second floor of the Hundred Spirits Artifact Hall.
After all, the Ling Clan had such powerful individuals managing the shops they owned in the Huai River and Bingjiao markets.
In less than three breaths, Ling Pengyun found what he wanted.
He strode to a counter displaying a fist-sized crane-shaped and eagle-shaped Flying Magical Item and asked the old steward about it.
"Could you please introduce these two Flying Magical Item?"
The elderly steward, who was flipping through the books, heard the commotion and saw the two Flying Magical Item that Ling Pengyun was pointing to. He then looked at Ling Pengyun's face and noticed that Ling Pengyun looked young. A strange light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly returned to normal.
The old steward closed the book in his hand and gave a brief explanation.
"That Swift Travel Crane can travel four thousand miles a day and costs two hundred Spirit Stone."
"This Swift Travel Hawk can travel 4,500 miles a day, and its price is 220 Spirit Stone."
On the market, the price of a First-Tier Superior-Grade Law Artifact fluctuates between 150 and 200. If it is a better Law Artifact, the price will be higher.
"I want the Swift Travel Hawk." Ling Pengyun didn't hesitate for long and chose the Swift Travel Hawk, which had the fastest flight speed.
The reason he purchased First-Tier Superior-Grade Flying Magical Item this time was quite simple: he couldn't stay away from Lingyun Mountain for long, but Lingyun Mountain was too far from Cloudwater Market Town, and it would take too long to travel using the Green Travel Leaf that could only travel 1,500 miles a day.
One hand receives the Spirit Stone, the other hand receives the goods.
Having purchased the item, Ling Pengyun then stepped out of the Hundred Spirits Artifact Hall.
Afterwards, Ling Pengyun went to the Hundred Spirits Grocery Store, which was also run by the Hundred Spirits Sect. He spent two hundred Spirit Stone to buy two jars of Rice Flower Brew that had been brewed for fifty years using the finest Spirit Rice, and three hundred Spirit Stone to buy five First-Tier Superior-Grade Flame Blade Talisman and five Nine Stars Linked Needle Talisman.
After purchasing these spiritual items, Ling Pengyun returned to the "Lingxiao Grocery Store" run by his parents.
Upon returning to Lingxiao Grocery Store, Ling Pengyun gave Yang Qiuyun the red dress and Thousand Jun Bracelet he had purchased on his trip, and Ling Xiaohua the two jars of Rice Flower Brew.
After receiving these generous gifts, Ling Xiaohua and Yang Qiuyun, just as Ling Pengyun had predicted, complained about Ling Pengyun's wasteful spending of Spirit Stone.
Despite their complaints, the couple soon had smiles on their faces.
After chatting for a while, Ling Pengyun took out all the remaining Spirit Stone he had obtained from selling the Law Artifact and said to Ling Xiaohua and Yang Qiuyun.
"Father, Mother, I plan to use all of these Spirit Stone to buy Cultivation Resources and Weapon Refinement Materials."
"But this amount of Spirit Stone is far too much. If we spend such a large number of Spirit Stone in a short period of time, we will inevitably attract attention."
"I will soon return to Lingyun Mountain from the market. If I am watched by someone on the mountain, I may encounter danger. So I thought it would be better if you two, Father and Mother, could find some reputable shops to help me buy the spiritual items I need."
Ling Xiaohua and Yang Qiuyun need to run Lingxiao Grocery Store, so they rarely leave the market area.
Furthermore, they had nowhere else to go, as this place was Cloudwater County, which was thousands of miles away from Huai River County, where the Ling Clan lived.
Aside from occasionally returning to Level Cloud Mountain with members of the Yang Clan to visit relatives, Yang Qiuyun rarely went out to the market.
Even if someone targets you, there will be no danger.
Killing is forbidden in the market. Even a slight fluctuation in spiritual energy will alert the disciples of the Hundred Spirits Sect who are protecting the market.
This is done to protect the reputation of the market; only a safe market is trustworthy.
When Ling Xiaohua heard Ling Pengyun's plea, he understood Ling Pengyun's predicament and nodded in agreement without much thought.
"It's safer for your mother and me to help you buy spiritual items. Tell us in detail what kind of spiritual items you want to buy."
"I need to purchase forty portions each of the first-grade lower and middle-grade Golden Scale Inner Armor, fifty first-grade lower and middle-grade spiritual fruits, and twenty First-Tier Superior-Grade spiritual fruits," Ling Pengyun stated what he wanted.
During this trip to Cloudwater Market Town, he planned to purchase fifty sets of spiritual materials for refining first-grade lower and middle-grade Golden Scale Inner Armor.
Previously, during his trip to the Hundred Spirits Artifact Hall, he purchased ten sets of spiritual materials for refining first-grade low- and mid-grade Golden Scale Inner Armor.
"Alright, your mother and I will go to the market to buy these spiritual items. After we buy them, you can leave now and can't stay any longer." Ling Xiaohua waved his hand and put the more than two thousand Spirit Stone on the ground into his Storage Bag, saying this.
After saying that, he and Yang Qiuyun left Lingxiao Grocery Store.
Less than half an hour later, Ling Xiaohua and Yang Qiuyun returned to Lingxiao Grocery Store. After handing a bulging Storage Bag to Ling Pengyun, the two urged Ling Pengyun to leave Cloudwater Market Town as soon as possible and return to Lingyun Mountain to prevent any unforeseen events.
Ling Pengyun understood his parents' meaning. He said goodbye and told them that he would come to Cloudwater Market Town for the Spring Festival this year. Then he quickly left Lingxiao Grocery Store and walked briskly out of Cloudwater Market Town along the main road.
As soon as he left Cloudwater Market Town, Ling Pengyun took out the palm-sized Swift Travel Hawk that had not yet been refined and infused it with spiritual power.
The fist-sized Swift Travel Hawk flashed with inspiration and quickly grew to the size of a millstone.
Ling Pengyun lightly touched the ground, stepped onto it, and poured his Divine Sense into it, controlling the Swift Travel Hawk to fly towards Lingyun Mountain.
The Qi Training Late Stage disciple of the Hundred Spirits Sect guarding the entrance and exit of Cloudwater Market Town looked at Ling Pengyun's departing figure with a look of pity on his face.
"Blame your bad luck. Why did you have to come to Cloudwater Market Town Cloudwater Market Town it's in such a terrible state?"
The man sighed softly and took out two Communication Talisman from his Storage Bag.
Using spiritual power to create a brush, he wrote eight small characters on two Communication Talisman.
"That kid has already left the market."
Once the eight small characters were written, the person sent the two Communication Talisman in his hand into Cloudwater Market Town.
