Jade Glass Market teemed with people, cultivators coming and going, each carrying Spirit Treasures.
Liu Xiaowen sat inside a shop, sensing the spiritual energy around him with a look of wonder. The abundance of spiritual energy in Jade Glass Market alone far surpassed that of Green Luo's several Spirit Peaks.
[Jianqing Shop] was the shop the abbey had opened in Jade Glass Market, selling the spiritual medicines, magical artifacts, and other goods it produced.
The shop was not large, but unrest in the north over the past few years had driven many rogue cultivators to seek refuge in Red Cloud. With cultivator numbers swelling, there was no shortage of buyers.
In artifact refining alone, the Great Red Abbey, with its two artifact refiners, was undoubtedly the finest in Red Cloud South. "Bing Fire" was the lineage of choice for artifact refining, and the abbey also possessed the artifact-refining arts passed down through the Wang lineage. The Fire-Waiting Hall could now reliably produce ordinary fetal breath and qi refining artifacts.
"If either the Zhu Clan or the Chen Household would give us a nod, the abbey could take over more spiritual land and open a pavilion or tower. That would be far better than this little shop."
Three fellow disciples bustled around Liu Xiaowen, selling Spirit Treasures and tallying receipts. The abbey's qi refining cultivators took turns overseeing the shop to prevent trouble, and this month it was Liu Xiaowen's turn.
Since the Zhu Clan and Chen Household had withdrawn from public view and rogue cultivators had flooded in, the Plainlands had lost their former peace. There were plenty of hotheads eager for a fight. Although the local aristocratic clans and sects had yet to be affected, things would be harder to predict if a rogue cultivator reached foundation establishment.
