" Old Cai, you just mentioned there's a teleportation portal outside the city gates. Do you guys often leave the city?"
Chen Mu thought of Gu Ningbi. Chen Haoran said that she went on her own after entering the Primordial Emperor Pass, but he had stayed in the Primordial Emperor Pass for a whole day and had not seen her, and did not know where she had gone.
"That's natural. Although the Primordial Emperor Pass is fortified, it doesn't produce natural resources or food."
Many people in the Imperial Pass have to go out of the city to do errands every day; they can't stay here all the time.
Cai Gen explained the situation of Primordial Emperor Pass to Chen Mu, then took him to the talisman-making room in his residence, handed over control of the talisman-making room to Chen Mu, and left.
Each talisman master's talisman-making room is no less than a mechanical fortress, especially for God Level talisman master like Cai Gen, who needs to spend a lot of time practicing just the incantations to control the mechanisms and restrictive formations.
It took Chen Mu almost half an hour to master all the mechanisms in the talisman-making room.
"Phew! Mission accomplished."
However, as the saying goes, "sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood," I'd better go and take a look at the market outside the city first.
After Chen Mu breakthrough, Primordial Spirit grew many times stronger. He was eager to develop God Level Rune Core as soon as possible to help the Chen Kingdom resist the attack of the Heavenly Court army.
But now he has changed his mind. On the one hand, he wants to go to the market to see if there are any more suitable materials. On the other hand, he also wants to find Gu Ningbi and Di Yun to learn about the situation of the various tribes in the outside world after the Heavenly Emperor left.
Most importantly, he realized that he seemed to have forgotten about Lingming in the Primordial Beginning Mountain Range.
After making up his mind, Chen Mu left Cai Gen's residence and walked along the street towards the south of the city. He used the spatial law of Shrinking the Ground to an Inch and arrived at the south gate in just half an incense stick's time.
"No one lives at the South Gate; it seems everyone from the Imperial Pass has moved to the East Gate."
Chen Mu took a look at the population distribution in the city before leaving the south gate and stepping into the distorted teleportation channel.
Whoa...!
After a burst of intense white light, Chen Mu emerged from a cave.
Chen Mu observed the surrounding environment and roughly knew that he was on the very edge of the Primordial Beginning Mountain Range. By observing the biological footprints on the ground, he quickly guessed the location of the market.
" Lingming, Ningbi, Di Yun, I will stay in this market today."
If you see this message, you can come here to meet me.
When they first entered the Primordial Beginning Mountain Range, Chen Mu used materials he bought at the market to make his own improved communication jade talismans for everyone.
There was strange energy interference at the center of the Primordial Beginning Mountain Range, and the Primordial Emperor Pass was located in an independent cave-heaven space, where even communication jade talismans could not be used. Therefore, Chen Mu only used the communication jade talisman now to send messages to others.
After sending the message, Chen Mu walked towards the market.
Within ten breaths, Chen Mu received responses from Gu Ningbi and Di Yun, both saying they would arrive at the market as soon as possible.
Only Lingming remained silent. Chen Mu had made up his mind that if Lingming didn't respond today, he would set off to search for him around the Primordial Beginning Mountain Range.
About an incense stick's time later, Chen Mu arrived at the market.
The market here is much larger than the Kunlun Heaven Market that Chen Mu visited last time, and even has some exquisite wooden buildings. However, overall, the style is still more primitive and simple.
This made Chen Mu sigh with emotion; the development of civilization is not predetermined, and everything must follow the laws of nature.
The creatures of Kunlun Heaven are naturally powerful, so they have no need for many sophisticated products of civilization. They can sleep on the ground without getting sick, eat raw meat without getting a stomachache, and not feel cold even without clothes.
Most importantly, the achievements of beings born in Kunlun Heaven are basically determined at birth, and it is almost impossible for an individual to break through the class barrier through personal effort.
All of this led to a near standstill in the development of civilization in Kunlun Heaven. If it had not been disrupted by external forces, Kunlun Heaven would likely have remained largely unchanged for tens of millions of years.
"Shopkeeper, how do I exchange these items?"
In the market, large shops generally accept minerals such as World Crystal as common currency.
However, these street vendors are different. They are generally not professional merchants and only accept barter, bringing what they don't need to the market to exchange for what they do need.
"You can exchange Thunder Qilin Iron, Lava Essence, or Essence Mother Silver for it, or you can use World Crystal, but that will be more expensive."
The stall owner was an Demon Race, tall and imposing, radiating a powerful aura of Primordial Power.
"This is Essence Mother Silver; I'd like to exchange it for those two pieces of animal bone. Shall we exchange them?"
Chen Mu took out a piece of silver ore about the size of a fist and asked.
He has quite a few treasures on him now, mainly collected by Chen Haoran during his years guarding the Yuanshi Imperial Pass. The depths of the Yuanshi Mountains are the place with the most concentrated Kunlun Heavenly Yuan Power, with countless natural treasures. Chen Haoran casually gave some to Chen Mu, which was enough for Chen Mu to use for a long time.
"Change it! Here you go."
Without saying a word, the old Demon Race member picked up two pieces of beast bone and gave them to Chen Mu, and took away the essence ore.
Bartering is not like doing business normally. It is not easy for both parties to find the items they want. If the items are suitable, the transaction is usually very straightforward.
Chen Mu carefully examined the two animal bones, and after confirming that they were what he wanted, he put them into his storage ring.
Both of these are skulls of ferocious beasts of God Level or higher, making them very suitable for making bone-based mechs.
Once Chen Mu has researched and developed the God Level Rune Core, he can create a God Level bone mech for Ling Feng.
Ling Feng's situation is very similar to Wei Shan's; he can definitely become a mecha pilot, and he is very confident that Ling Feng can become God Level mecha pilot.
Next, Chen Mu continued to select items at the market, and he didn't finish shopping until the afternoon.
"Excellent! Kunlun Heaven actually produces such a large quantity of Illusory Silver Water."
It seems I need to have someone exchange more for me, so I can equip all the officers in the Chen Kingdom with them in the future.
Chen Mu had been busy for half a day, and what pleased him most was learning that this place was rich in Illusion Illusory Silver Water Illusory Silver Water, which was the main material for making liquid armor in the Chen Kingdom, but others were unaware of its value.
Chen Mu spent a small amount of World Crystal and obtained a large amount of Illusory Silver Water, reaping a rich harvest.
" My Lingming has responded."
He glanced at the communication jade talisman in his pocket and realized that Lingming had been staying in the Primordial Beginning Mountain Range and had just seen his message. Lingming was now on its way to his location.
" Di Yun and Ningbi are nearby, let's meet up with them first!"
Chen Mu realized he had basically explored the entire market and was unlikely to find anything else, so he left the market to meet up with the others.
