In the next few days, Song Changsheng was immersed in practice. Although [Insight Technique] was easy, [Ten Thousand Mile Tracking] was not easy, and it consumed a lot of his energy.

During the period of his retreat, Song Luhai was not idle either. He delivered the goods he brought with Qian Duoyu and received more than 30,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

The income from this trade has been Song Clan's income for about half a year. In the future, Lineage's finances will be much better, and Song Luzhou will no longer have to sigh all day long.

On this day, Song Changsheng left the customs early.

Sun Chuanming was appraising treasures for others behind the counter, and Song Changsheng found a quiet place to sit down and started running the newly mastered [Insight Technique] as usual.

After a while, Song Changsheng realized the magic of this technique. The last time he appraised the treasure, the conclusions he came to were very different from Sun Chuanming.

Today, although the conclusions he drew were often inconsistent with Sun Chuanming, they were much better than last time. Moreover, there were many times where the results were exactly the same.

This is the reason why he has not accumulated enough. If he calms down and learns the art of treasure appraisal and studies the books in Sun Chuanming's house, he believes that he will be able to surpass Sun Chuanming in a short time.

It's not an exaggeration, it's a fact.

Although Sun Chuanming is a teacher, his level and understanding are not as good as Song Changsheng. Especially in terms of strength, Divine Sense is completely different.

What he is doing now is better than Song Changsheng, just because of his rich experience.

After waiting for a while and no guests came in, Sun Chuanming walked up to Song Changsheng and asked, "How do you feel?"

Song Changsheng cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Although it is not as good as the teacher, it is not far away!"

"With your qualifications, it is only a matter of time before you surpass me. If you want to improve quickly, there is no way. I can introduce you to a good place." Sun Chuanming said with a smile without feeling dissatisfied.

Hearing that there was a "quick fix" method, Song Changsheng's tricks suddenly lit up. "Please ask the teacher for advice."

Sun Chuanming didn't show off, he opened his mouth and spit out two words: "Market."

"Market?" Although Song Changsheng came to Sunset City for the first time, he often asked Song Luhai for relevant information along the way.

Sunset City is the trade center of the entire Great Qi Cultivation World Southwest department, and it is also a famous City of Cultivators. Naturally, it is a place where monks can exchange what they have.

And this place is the market, Sunset City is large, so a market was set up in the east and west of the city for many monks to exchange trade. It can be called one of the two busiest places in the city.

The two bazaars are different. East Market is mainly for bulk transactions, such as goods brought for sale by various forces. The transaction volume is large and there are many varieties. Except for the official forces of Sunset City, all parties can eat, and individuals cannot participate.

Like Wang Clan, if there is no direct contact with Qian Duoyu, the goods they bring will only be processed at East Market.

But West Market is different. It is mainly some shops or stalls set up by small merchants and hawkers. It is very similar to Liuyun Market. Most of the transactions here are small. It is the place where Rogue Cultivator and foreign monks are the most.

At West Market, you only need to pay a certain "stall fee" to set up a stall and sell goods there, and be protected by the city.

Therefore, here, the types of goods are the most diverse, and the quality is also uneven. There are even many fakes, so people come to Sun Chuanming from time to time for identification.

In this case, why are so many people keen on West Market?

This question is very simple, because you can really find treasures here. Although many of them are fakes deliberately mixed in by vendors, there are also some items that even the stall owners themselves do not know their origins.

They may be worthless, but there are also Luminous Pearl dust collectors, giving those people the opportunity to "pick up the missing".

Although the "pickers" are only a few discerning people and Lucky One, they are more fools who were fooled into buying a bunch of junk.

But everyone who comes to West Market will not think that they are the idiots, but those "leak pickers" with unique vision.

Because of this, West Market, where counterfeit goods are rampant, not only has not been criticized, but has become more and more prosperous in recent years, making it the most lively place in Sunset City.

Sun Chuanming only said the word "market", but Song Changsheng already understood in his heart, so he blurted out. "You want me to go West Market?"

"Yes, when I first came to Sunset City, I often mingled among West Market. With this little skill, I got a lot of advantages, and Eye Technique also improved rapidly.

But as time went by, the reputation gradually spread. West Market Those traders saw me as if they were avoiding tigers and wolves, and over time I stopped going.

But since you have just arrived, your reputation is not obvious, but you can turn around. "Sun Chuanming tilted his head slightly, even if that time was heard now, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise a little.

Song Changsheng couldn't help but feel funny. A Treasure Appraiser joined West Market. Isn't that the same as a tiger joining a flock of sheep?

What's more, Sun Chuanming is the best among Treasure Appraiser. As long as he takes action, he will definitely gain something, but the traders will avoid him.

"Students understand." Song Changsheng nodded, this is indeed a good place for him.

Speaking of which, he has been here Sunset City for a few days. Except for seeing Qian Duoyu when he went out once, he spent the rest of the time in his room. He hasn't gone shopping yet, so he just happened to go out for a walk.

It's just that Sunset City is so big that you need to bring a guide. But at the moment, Song Luhai and all the young people are not in the grocery store. He should go to East Market to buy what Lineage needs. Otherwise, he can let Song Luhai take him around.

Just when Song Changsheng was thinking about hiring someone, a handyman working at the counter seemed to see his needs and volunteered. "Young Clan Head is going to West Market, do you need a guide?"

He followed the sound and saw a somewhat immature young man, about eighteen years old, with handsome features and full of vitality.

Song Xiantu saw this and said quickly, "Young Clan Head, his name is Qing Luo, he was born locally in Sunset City. He has lived in the city for eighteen years and knows the city well. Having him guide you can save you a lot of trouble."

Song Changsheng suddenly realized that he was actually a "local". He was worried that he didn't have a guide. Isn't this ready-made?

He smiled and nodded, "Then please Qing Luo, please lead the way for me."

Song Qingluo shook his head hurriedly and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard. It's my honor to be able to guide Young Clan Head."

After saying goodbye to Song Xiantu and others, Song Changsheng took Song Qingluo out. Walking on the bustling street, Song Qingluo said happily, "Young Clan Head, shall we go directly to West Market?"

"Is there anything more interesting along the way?" Now that he's out, Song Changsheng is not in a hurry and plans to walk all the way there.

Song Qingluo replied without hesitation after hearing this, "There is Eight Directions Pavilion's shop in front. It is said to be the largest in the Great Qi Kingdom Southwest. Many monks from other places like to go there."

Of course Daming Song Changsheng of the Eight Directions Pavilion knows about it, and there is also one in Liuyun Market, which makes Ling Province Six Great Foundation Establishment Powers unable to hold his head up.

Although he was somewhat interested, Song Changsheng gave up the idea after weighing his money bag. Eight Directions Pavilion Although there were many treasures, the price was also very dazzling.

Seeing Song Changsheng's lack of interest, Song Qingluo immediately added, "There is another Auction House further ahead. It will be Great City Lord's birthday in a while. It is said that many people will come. Auction House is also preparing for a large-scale auction recently."

Speaking of Auction House, Song Changsheng remembered the past when he helped the mysterious man bid for the auction at Liuyun Market, and gained a lot of knowledge at that time.

"This auction is much bigger than Market's, right? You can come and have a look when the time comes." Song Changsheng secretly wrote down the matter, and then motioned to Song Qingluo to continue.

Song Qingluo thought for a while and then said, "Then there is only Heavenly Sound Mountain."

"Heavenly Sound Mountain, where is that?"

The young man saw that he didn't know, and immediately introduced him with excitement, "Young Clan Head, this Heavenly Sound Mountain is the retreat place of Great City Lord, located in the center of Sunset City.

Great City Lord is Great Qi's only Fourth-Tier Musical Harmonizer, who is proficient in Path of Musical Arts. The Discipless under him are also good at music and often practice musical instruments at Heavenly Sound Mountain.

Either playing the harp, blowing the xun, or percussing on the building... there are many, and the sound of music can be heard for miles, all day long.

Sometimes Great City Lord would even play the piano himself, and many people would break through their own bottlenecks in the sound of the piano. The music would spread from one person to another, leading to many people gathering at the foot of the mountain to practice, which has become a great spectacle for Sunset City. "

Song Changsheng was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but think of Zhuang Yuechan, who had explored cave abode with them. She was the disciple of Great City Lord, and she was carrying a Jade Zither. The sound of the piano was lingering, and the murder was invisible.

However, it is not even a bit worse than Great City Lord. He has experienced it personally. A wisp of piano music can make him lose his mind. It is not surprising that it can help others break through.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuang is a local monk, and Fellow Daoist Zhu is also in Bianzhou, and there is also a swordsman who seems to be Fellow Daoist Xu. So, we all unexpectedly arrived at the same place again without knowing it.

The word fate is really wonderful. "Song Changsheng was filled with emotion. He also became interested in Heavenly Sound Mountain and asked Song Qingluo to lead the way.

Not long after, the two came to the bottom of Heavenly Sound Mountain. There were more than one mountain in the city. You can imagine how big the city was.

Heavenly Sound Mountain is about a thousand feet high, with lush vegetation, lingering clouds and mist. The mountain is steep and majestic, like a sharp sword reaching into the sky.

In terms of height, Vast Peak is a few steps ahead of it. In terms of aura concentration, Vast Peak is out of reach.

The entire Great Qi Cultivation World, Fourth-Tier Spirit Vein can be counted on one hand, and one of them, under this Heavenly Sound Mountain, can be used for Golden Core True Person to practice.

As Song Qingluo said, there is endless vocal music on this Heavenly Sound Mountain, which can be heard from a long distance away, such as harp, pipa, Xiaodi, suona...

Although the instruments are mixed, the sound is not chaotic, just like an ensemble, but the music is not clear.

There were indeed a lot of people gathered at the foot of the mountain, about a few hundred, among whom one could even see Foundation Establishment Cultivator, all sitting on the ground at this moment, closing their eyes and concentrating.

"Birthday Banquet in one year's time should be held here. I wonder if we can see Fellow Daoist Zhuang." Song Changsheng looked along the ridge, feeling a little bit excited.

Last time Niu Dazhuang and Zhuang Yuechan left in a hurry. They didn't even leave any contact information between them, otherwise they could have called each other down the mountain to talk.

After stopping and listening for a while, Song Changsheng was about to turn around and leave. Just as he took the first step, a melodious piano sound suddenly sounded, covering up the sounds of other instruments.

The sound of the piano was like a gurgling stream, melodious and melodious, making people feel relaxed and happy. Song Changsheng paused as he raised his steps. The sound of the piano sounded so familiar.

If his prediction was correct, the person playing the piano should be Zhuang Yuechan. Compared to a few years ago, she had made rapid progress in Dao of Musical Harmony, and even he was slightly affected.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuang has probably become Second Tier Mid-Grade Musical Harmonizer." A smile appeared on Song Changsheng's lips. If it is confirmed that Nameless swordsman is Xu Yunhe, then the four who survived will all reach Foundation Establishment.

They have experienced life and death together, and they are Song Changsheng's few friends. Seeing that their footsteps have never fallen, how could he not be happy.

Path to Longevity is so lonely, having a few friends with you is a great blessing in life.

After a while, the song ended, Song Changsheng held his hands toward the top of the mountain, and then continued forward with Song Qingluo...

"Young Clan Head, do you know the person who plays the piano?" Song Qingluo asked curiously.

"He is indeed an old friend." Song Changsheng nodded.

Song Qingluo suddenly showed an envious look on his face. In his eyes, the disciple of the city lord was an unattainable figure. He then asked with some doubts, "Isn't this your first time here?"

"She and I met at Ling Province. At that time..." Song Changsheng roughly told the story.

"It's actually Ling Province. I've never even left the city." Song Qingluo looked at Song Changsheng with envy in his eyes. This Young Clan Head looked not much older than him, but he was already Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and he had so many thrilling experiences.

"Ling Province is an excellent place. Although it is not as prosperous as Sunset City, it is the root of Song Clan Disciples and me."

"Roots..." Song Qingluo was a little dazed. His father told him since he was a child that their roots are in Ling Province and their home is in Vast Peak. However, he has never set foot on the land of Ling Province since he was born.

"Young Clan Head, what kind of place is Vast Peak?"

"That is a place that carries the glory of Lineage, where..." Song Changsheng talked about everything, talking about Scripture Repository, talking about Council of Elders, talking about Family Trial...

Song Qingluo's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into infinite longing, and said secretly, "According to my age, it's time for Lineage to participate in the trial..."

The two of them were walking and chatting like this. Gradually, more and more people were around, and the sound gradually became noisier. You could vaguely hear the shouts of various people soliciting customers.

Song Qingluo immediately pointed forward happily and said, "Young Clan Head, in front is West Market."

Song Changsheng Looking around, I saw a huge square with countless street stalls. Many monks were walking through it, stopping to do some shopping from time to time. It was very lively.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's a good place to pick up leaks."
