The flying boat slowly landed on the Welcoming Immortals Terrace.
Gao Hao is the master of the Jade Wave Immortal Market, so his place of residence is naturally a crucial and important location within the market.
As soon as he landed, attendants came forward to greet him respectfully.
A middle-aged cultivator who appeared to be in charge stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Gao Hao: "Third Young Master, you're back."
Gao Hao did not respond immediately, but instead raised his hand and said to Chen Shuangbai, "Brother Chen, please."
After the two disembarked from the flying boat, Gao Hao said to the steward, " Steward Liu, this is my distinguished guest, a distinguished disciple from the Jade Spring Jade Spring Sect Jing Kingdom. Please ensure that all matters concerning the Immortal-Retaining Courtyard are properly arranged."
Turning to Steward Liu, Gao Hao's tone changed from that of an equal to that of an order, completely different from his previous cheerful demeanor on the ship.
"Please rest assured, young master, I will have someone clean it up right away."
Gao Hao nodded, then looked at Chen Shuangbai and said, "Brother Chen, you must be tired after your long journey. I also have some matters to attend to, so please excuse me for now."
Chen Shuangbai nodded, cupped his hands in farewell to Gao Hao, and said, "Brother Gao, I will now make my own arrangements."
"Brother Chen, please rest well. Once I've taken care of those miscellaneous matters, I'll come to find you and treat you to a welcome feast!"
After saying this, without waiting for Chen Shuangbai's agreement, the man gave a few more instructions to Steward Li before leaving with his entourage.
Clearly, this young nobleman was not as relaxed as he appeared.
Steward Liu respectfully watched Gao Hao leave before turning around and gesturing for Chen Shuangbai to proceed.
Thank you for your help.
Chen Shuangbai casually remarked, and the manager replied, "I dare not."
Under the guidance of Steward Liu, Chen Shuangbai walked through the streets of the Immortal City.
Countless pavilions and palaces dotted the mountainside, each brightly lit and radiant with light, creating a truly magnificent sight.
The streets were teeming with people, and the cultivators were dressed in various ways. There were even some cultivators from other races who looked like sea monsters who had transformed after reaching the Foundation Establishment, and they still bore strong traces of their demonic nature.
The sounds of hawking, bargaining, and conversation filled the air, yet there was a strange harmony to it all.
Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over her surroundings as she silently assessed the situation.
"As expected of an overseas celestial market, it is indeed enormous in scale and offers a wide variety of goods."
Upon hearing this, Steward Liu smiled and said in a tone that was both humble and proud, "Shangxiu, you're from within the country, aren't you?"
"Exactly."
"The traditions of the domestic region are indeed unique, and we at the sea may not be able to compare, but when it comes to wealth, it's a different story."
"Oh, what makes you say that?"
Chen Shuangbai asked with a smile.
This Steward Liu is merely a Middle Qi Refining Stage cultivator, and he looks quite old. It's likely that he's limited by his aptitude and can no longer make any progress.
Hearing Chen Shuangbai's gentle tone, she grew bolder and replied, "Senior, you may not know this, but although the sea may not have as many spiritual mountains and blessed lands as the mainland for establishing sects, the boundless ocean itself is an inexhaustible treasure."
"For countless years, we sea cultivators have adapted to the local conditions, either hunting sea beasts to obtain their Demon Core, leather, bones, and flesh for cultivation, or taming sea beasts to engage in the earliest form of maritime trade... Relying on this boundless sea, we have fought generation after generation, and finally created the prosperous scene we see today."
Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly.
This manager is capable; although there's a hint of self-praise in his words, he doesn't reveal the true nature of the Jade Wave Immortal Market.
"The people are shaped by the environment they live in."
Chen Shuangbai said this.
Steward Liu's eyes lit up slightly, and he agreed with this statement.
As they were talking.
The two walked through the bustling streets and arrived at a relatively quiet garden area.
This place was clearly prepared for the distinguished guests of the Gao Clan. The pavilions and towers were nestled among exotic flowers and trees, resembling the scenery of a garden in China.
"Senior, this is Immortal-Retaining Courtyard."
Steward Liu then summoned two well-dressed maids and instructed them to stand guard at the door. He added, "If you require anything, please give these two instructions. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
Thank you for your help.
Steward Liu then took his leave.
As Chen Shuangbai stepped into the courtyard, he saw a small bridge over a stream, adorned with strange rocks, and blooming flowers that emitted a refreshing fragrance. Dao Fruit a wonderful place."
He didn't rush into the house, but sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and casually took out the bags of Shell Pearl.
Gao Hao was keen to befriend him, so he paid a premium to acquire the materials from the Iron-Spined Venomous Dragonfish.
But these Shell Pearl are clearly still too few.
"It's a rare opportunity to come to sea, and I'm taking the chance to explore."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Shuangbai remembered that he also had some Dao of Alchemy skills, so he simply took out the pills he had brought from his pocket.
After a brief moment of thought, Chen Shuangbai suddenly remembered something.
"This celestial market on the sea is so prosperous... Could it be that we've already made arrangements for this?"
Chen Shuangbai called in the maid at the door, and after asking her some questions, he couldn't help but feel quite disappointed.
"No...?"
Chen Shuangbai pondered whether the three True Person in the sect had other plans, which was why they hadn't made any plans at sea.
He then took out a bottle of each of the pills he carried with him and arranged them on the stone table.
[ Mystic Light Illuminating Life Pill ], [ Azure Flower Pill ], [ Jade Cliff Pill ], and the very basic and popular Jade Spring Five Pills.
Then, Chen Shuangbai had the maid take them away and said, "Help me check the quality of these pills and how many Shell Pearl I can exchange them for."
The maidservant respectfully withdrew, found Steward Liu, presented him with all the pills, and explained Chen Shuangbai's intentions.
The Gao Clan has developed for hundreds of years, with many descendants and numerous factions. Steward Liu is a capable person in Gao Hao's branch.
The more capable someone is, the more important responsibilities they will be entrusted with.
Steward Liu was dealing with mundane affairs when he heard this and was about to suggest that Alchemist in the Immortal Market take a look, but then he thought that his third young master's attitude towards this person was different from that of the other guest retainers.
Steward Liu's eyes darted around a few times, then he suddenly remembered something and ordered someone to invite an Alchemist.
After examining each of the pills, the Alchemist honestly said, "Sir, these pills are of high medicinal value and excellent quality."
" The Alchemist who refined them must be a veteran Alchemist who has been at the first-tier level for a long time."
"Especially this kind of elixir..."
The Alchemist took out the bottle of [ Mystic Light Illuminating Life Pill ] and said, "This pill has the effect of purifying the soul, and is very useful for Foundation Establishment cultivators, even those in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage stage..."
Before the Alchemist could finish speaking, Steward Liu interrupted him, ordering that the matter not be spread.
At this moment, he was quite excited.
Steward Liu's mind raced, and his breathing quickened slightly.
"Has the Third Young Master... struck gold?"
