The illusory, unreal little town lay right before him. Li Jiusheng no longer hesitated and stepped inside.
The moment he entered the town, Li Jiusheng felt as though time and space had intertwined, as if that single step had carried him into some bygone era.
When his foot touched the town's stone pavement, the sense of illusion vanished, replaced by a feeling of reality.
"Could this strange little town actually exist?" Li Jiusheng could not help but wonder. It felt so real that he thought this stretch of time might have endured from the past until now.
"Candied hawthorns made from Tianshan snow pears!" Just as Li Jiusheng was lost in thought, a shout pulled him back to reality. Looking up, he saw someone carrying a huge string of candied hawthorns through the town, hawking them.
"Tianshan snow pears are a special medicinal herb. They can only grow atop extremely high icy plains and mountain peaks. They are supreme-grade ice-element medicinal herbs, exceptionally rare, yet they've been made into candied hawthorns." Li Jiusheng sighed and walked over, calling the man over. He wanted to see whether he could buy one.
"How much for these candied hawthorns?" Li Jiusheng asked.
"Five jin of Divine Source per skewer." The vendor named a price that left Li Jiusheng stunned.
The Cultivation world of the Old Land generally used Spirit Stones for trade.
Spirit Stones were peculiar stones born of heaven and earth. They grew in mountains and soil, absorbing the natural spiritual energy of heaven and earth and storing it within themselves.
Cultivators could hold Spirit Stones in their hands and absorb the energy inside. It was incomparably refined, purer than absorbing the spiritual energy scattered throughout heaven and earth.
Above Spirit Stones was Divine Source.
Spirit Stones also came in different grades.
