The three of them set out before dawn.
Old Sun walked behind with a storage bag on his waist, and monk Wang Family walked at the front to lead the way.
This person's name is Lu, Qi Refining Sixth Layer, he is in his early thirties, has an ordinary face, doesn't talk much, and walks very fast.
Li Yuan follows in the middle.
On the way, Wang Lu explained the tasks clearly while rushing.
"After arriving at Yunyang Marketplace, three things."
He held out three fingers without looking back.
"First, you and Old Sun are responsible for inquiring about information. See if anyone has recently approached Alchemist He to refine the Foundation Establishment pill, or if there are any outside monks operating in the city who may be related to the Bandit Cultivator group."
The second finger is pointing up.
"Second, you make Spirit-Refining Talisman for Alchemist He. This is one of the conditions for the Wang Family to cooperate with him. If he wants Spirit-Refining Talisman, we will provide Wang Family with the materials, and give him the finished Spirit-Refining Talisman directly."
He took his hand back.
"Third, I'm responsible for other aspects of intelligence, so you don't have to worry about it. If anything happens, I'll come to you."
Li Yuan hummed.
Old Sun added a sentence at the end.
"I'm just going to chat with Alchemist He to get some news."
Wang Lu didn't look back.
"Absolutely. It will be easier to talk to him if you have a relationship with him."
"Just do what you can."
Li Yuan heard Old Sun mutter, but the sound was very soft and could not be heard clearly.
The three of them walked north along a road wider than outside Qinghe Market.
The road surface is very solid and wide enough to accommodate three carts running parallel to each other.
There were more than twice as many pedestrians on the road as there were near Qinghe Market. Various monks and mortals were scattered here and there, some riding Short-Legged Beast, some carrying large and small bags, and a few vendors pushing carts.
Walked all day.
In the afternoon of the next day, a gray outline appeared on the horizon ahead.
It's not a fence, it's a city wall.
The gray-brown stone wall is three or four feet above the ground and stretches so far that no end can be seen from the left and right ends. On the top of the wall stands a monk on duty at regular intervals, and his aura is mostly Qi Refining Mid-to-Late Stage.
The city gates are two heavy Iron Wood doors. The door openings are wide enough for six or seven people to walk side by side. There is a long queue at the door, waiting to enter the city.
Yunyang Marketplace.
It is better to say it is a city than a city.
The scale is more than ten times larger than Qinghe Market. The length of one city wall alone is equal to the entire perimeter of Qinghe Market. Inside the city wall, you can vaguely see the layers of roofs and pavilions, and the corners of the eaves<i class="icon icon-uniE0F2"></i><i class="icon icon-uniE0EE"></i> reflect light in the sun.
The three of them lined up to enter the city.
There is someone at the gate of the city who collects the city fee. Two yuan Spirit Stone per person, calculated on a per capita basis, regardless of the level of cultivation.
Wang Lu took out six pieces Spirit Stone from the storage bag and paid for all three people.
After entering the city gate, the inside is bigger than what you see from the outside.
The main street is extremely wide, nearly three times wider than Qinghe Market's East Street. The street is paved with Blue Stone boards and polished to a shiny finish. The buildings on both sides are lined up in rows, most of them are serious shops with neat facades and signboards hanging on the lintels with neat handwriting.
The monks walking on the street generally have a higher level of cultivation than Qinghe Market. Qi Refining Mid-to-Late Stage can be found everywhere.
Li Yuan also encountered a very oppressive aura, which he guessed was the aura of monk Foundation Establishment.
Things that are almost impossible to encounter in Qinghe Market are just an occasional wave passing by on the street here.
Wang Lu had obviously been here more than once, and without stopping, he led the two of them through the main street, turned into a side alley, turned two more turns, and stopped in front of a three-story inn.
The innkeeper was a Qi Refining Fifth Layer middle-aged man. Seeing Wang Lu take out a piece of Token, he immediately greeted him attentively.
"Three rooms." Wang Lu slapped Spirit Stone on the counter.
The shopkeeper quickly registered and handed over the three keys.
The three of them went upstairs to put their things. The room was not big but clean, much better than the accommodations of Mine and Herb Garden.
After putting things away, Wang Lu was waiting in the corridor.
"Go meet someone first."
He raised his chin towards Li Yuan.
"Old Sun You wait at the inn first, we will talk after we come back after the meeting."
Old Sun waved his hand and turned back to his room.
Wang Lu took Li Yuan out of the inn, walked along the side alley for a while, and turned onto another street. This street is narrower than the main street, but the shops on both sides are obviously more high-end. The facades are made of polished Blue Stone, and various hall numbers are engraved on the signboards.
When we reached the end of the street, there was a house with a single courtyard in front of us. The courtyard wall was not high, and there was no signboard on the lintel. There was only an inconspicuous bronze plate nailed with a word of congratulation engraved on it.
There was no waiter at the door, and the door was ajar.
Wang Lu stepped forward and knocked on the door frame twice.
"Come in."
A deep voice came from inside.
The two pushed the door open and went in.
The yard is not big, with a half-person-high Medicine Cauldron in the middle. The furnace mouth is covered with a lid and is not burning. There are several boxes of medicinal materials stacked neatly in the corner of the yard. There is a stone table and two stone benches against the wall.
There is a person sitting behind the stone table.
Foundation Establishment monk.
The breath is calm and thick, like an anvil pressed on the table, staying quietly, but it is extremely heavy.
The moment Li Yuan walked into the courtyard, he felt that Spiritual Qi in the entire courtyard seemed to be suppressed by this person's presence, and was a little thinner than outside.
Spiritual Pressure.
This is the Spiritual Pressure of monk Foundation Establishment. It is not released automatically, it is the sense of oppression brought by existence itself.
Alchemist He raised his eyes and looked at Wang Lu, then at Li Yuan.
"Bring it?"
Wang Lu took out the Spirit-Refining Talisman that he had taken away from his sleeve and placed it on the stone table.
"This is a sample made."
Alchemist He reached out and picked it up, turned it to the front and looked at the arrangement of Spirit Pattern. He pressed his finger on the center of the symbol, then turned it to the back and looked at it.
"It's okay. My skills are pretty good, but I guess I haven't practiced this much."
"But it's enough."
The tone was flat, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied.
He put Spirit-Refining Talisman back on the table and turned his eyes to Li Yuan.
"Thirty pictures in half a month. Can you do it?"
"It can be done."
Alchemist He nodded without being polite, turned his gaze to Wang Lu, picked up the tea bowl on the stone table and took a sip.
"If you don't have anything else to do, just do this. Just send the things over once they're ready."
The two said goodbye and left the yard.
"The materials for Spirit-Refining Talisman are provided by us."
He paused and looked at Li Yuan again.
"The finished Spirit-Refining Talisman will be handed over directly to Senior He, and you can reap the contribution of the Talisman Hall."
Li Yuan hummed.
The remuneration was not mentioned. But it is known without mentioning it. Spirit-Refining Talisman produced the material Wang Family and the finished product was given to Alchemist He. This was the condition for the cooperation between the Wang Family and Alchemist He. Alchemist He's remuneration was given to the Wang Family.
After returning to the inn, Wang Lu called the three people together and explained the task again.
"You and Old Sun are responsible for inquiring about the news about Bandit Cultivator. We will go around the city and listen to see if there are any outside monks looking for Alchemist He or other Alchemist Alchemy recently."
He glanced at Li Yuan and Old Sun respectively.
"I'm going to do other things and won't go with you. I'll meet you back at the inn when there's news."
After saying that Wang Lu left.
Old Sun came out of the room and clapped his hands.
"Let's go and walk around first."
Li Yuan followed Old Sun out of the inn and walked along the side alley to the main street.
Yunyang Marketplace's main street looked more carefully than when I first entered the city.
The street is extremely wide, Blue Stone is paved flatly, and the shop fronts on both sides are next to each other. Shops Elixir Shop, Law Artifact, and Spirit Herb Shop, Ore Shop, Talisman Shop, Cultivation Method shops have a complete range of types. Most of the handwriting on the signboards is engraved rather than handwritten, and the specifications are uniform.
Most of them are serious shops, with door panels, counters and waiters.
The biggest difference from Qinghe Market is that Rogue Cultivator has very few stalls.
On the entire main street, there are almost no Rogue Cultivator squatting on the roadside to spread cloth and set up stalls. Occasionally, you can see three or five stalls crowded together at street corners or alley entrances, but they are all enclosed in fixed areas, separated by stone fences, and clearly separated from the store area.
The total number of Rogue Cultivator booths is probably less than half of that of Qinghe Market.
Old Sun muttered as he walked.
"Yunyang Marketplace is the territory of the Yuanyang Sect, and the rules are stricter than outside. If you want to set up a stall here, you must register and pay first. The location is also designated and cannot be occupied casually. Therefore, there are few stalls in Rogue Cultivator, and most transactions are done in shops."
Li Yuan didn't answer, and glanced at the shops on both sides.
The things in the store are indeed more than one level higher than those in Qinghe Market. Through the door panels and windows, you can see various Medicinal Pill bottles, Law Artifact, Spirit Herb and ores displayed on the counter. The appearance and smell are much better than those commonly seen in Qinghe Market.
But similar to Qinghe Market, all the items in the store are sealed.
Instead of being covered with a cloth, there is a very thin spiritual barrier covering the top of the counter. The items are displayed behind the barrier, which can be seen but not touched. If you want to see something, you have to tell the clerk, and the clerk will remove the barrier and take out the items for you to see.
Li Yuan walked past two stores and glanced at the items inside through the barriers.
Medicinal Pill bottles are lined up in a row, with labels on the bottles, with names and prices written on them. Law Artifact are hung on the shelves, with wooden signs with explanations inserted in front of each one.
All behind the barrier.
He didn't go in and let the clerk take them out one by one for him to touch. There were at least dozens of things in a store, and each item had to be taken out and looked at by the clerk before being put back. It was too eye-catching.
Li Yuan looked away from the shop and continued walking along the street.
Rogue Cultivator There is no barrier over the stall, and things are placed directly on the cloth. However, the number of stalls is too small, and the variety is limited. Most of them are low- to medium-grade groceries.
Li Yuan squatted down in front of several Rogue Cultivator stalls and took a look, placing his fingers on several items.
No response.
Keep going.
After walking down the entire main street, Li Yuan had a rough judgment on Yunyang Marketplace's situation.
There are many things, high quality, and large scale. But it is completely different from the Qinghe Market environment where you can easily touch the things on the stall. Most of the items here are locked behind the barriers of the store. If you want to check one by one whether there is Affix, you have to find another way.
Old Sun was walking beside him, minding his own business, occasionally stopping to chat with Rogue Cultivator on the side of the road to inquire about anything.
The sun was already setting in the west. The two of them turned back to the side alley along the main street and headed towards the inn.
