"This is the spine of the Purgatory Ancient Serpent, brimming with fiery energy. It's clear... it must have only recently died!"
The enormous and seemingly extremely heavy demonic spine was as if it were nothing in Wei Zheng's hands. After casually turning and playing with it a few times, he put it into his Storage Bag.
Jade Mountain City is very safe, Hundred Barbarian Market is very large.
Nearby, people from Ancient People tribes bring various spiritual materials and Demon Beast flesh and blood from the mountains to sell here almost every day.
If you're lucky, you can sell it for a much better price than you'd get in the mountains.
The cultivators felt they had gained something, and so did the Ancient People.
It can be described as a win-win situation.
A Shi led the way, Wei Zheng occasionally bought some good things from the stalls of the Ancient People.
Most of them are materials from the bodies of demons.
He was a body cultivator, and he collected the spines of these demons mostly for body-refining Secret Method or other purposes.
Chen Shuangbai didn't inquire further, lest she offend others.
There's not much good to buy in Chen Shuangbai.
However, it's uncertain whether Feiguang.
Finding a secluded spot, Chen Shuangbai released Feiguang from the beast token.
Under Wei Zheng's curious gaze, a beam of Shuangbai light emerged from the beast token, transforming into a handsome young man of about thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in a pure white feather robe.
"My lord, I'm so suffocating!"
Chen Shuangbai smiled and apologized twice.
Previously, Feiguang was not always carried with him, but was kept in the beast token because Feiguang had not yet taken human form, and his true demon form was too large and conspicuous.
Now that Feiguang has successfully taken human form, for the sake of his future, he needs to stay by my side, to understand human nature, and to discover his wisdom, so that he can have a brighter future.
Chen Shuangbai had simply forgotten.
Looking at Feiguang, who was virtually indistinguishable from a human cultivator, Wei Zheng laughed in surprise, "I've long heard that you, Old Chen, have a Snow-Plumed Eagle at the Foundation Establishment level... and now I see it has actually successfully transformed into human form?"
"Truly possesses extraordinary potential!"
This is not a compliment.
Generally speaking, the closer a demon is to human form after transforming, the higher its intelligence and the greater its future potential.
After Feiguang form, apart from the two fluttering white feathers covering the sides of his forehead, he was almost no different from an ordinary person, and even his appearance was quite handsome, which shows that he was not lacking in talent.
Chen Shuangbai laughed and said, "I've been feeding him plenty of good food lately, it's normal."
A Shi looked at Feiguang, who was dressed in feathered robes and looked like a fairy, with longing in his heart.
Although he was trapped in Jade Mountain City, it is clear that he was quite knowledgeable.
I know that these two esteemed figures from the upper sect... are definitely not ordinary people.
So they served him even more diligently.
As they walked, the group arrived at a noisy place.
From afar, the two noticed the bustling crowd ahead, where excited shouts and disappointed hisses could be heard from time to time.
" Little Stone, what's ahead?"
Wei Zheng became interested.
A Shi smiled and said, "It's jade gambling!"
"Jade gambling?"
Chen Shuangbai was taken aback, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Isn't that something popular in the mortal world...? How come your Jade Mountain City has it too?"
"My lord, you may not know this, but gambling on stones is quite different from gambling on ordinary stones."
"Oh, tell me about it!"
According to the ancient records of those tribes, long ago, a meteorite fell from the sky into the depths of Great Li Mountain Great Li Mountain and shattered into countless pieces, scattering in all directions.
These meteorites are scattered throughout the Great Li Mountain, some buried deep underground, others hidden in ditches...
Some meteorites contain extremely rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, such as Star-Patterned Iron, Void Crystal, and Earthfire Adamantine— materials for forging top-tier Law Artifact. They may even contain fossils of ancient, extinct Demon Beast or strange crystals that preserve High Antiquity Spiritual Qi...
It initially circulated among the Ancient People, but with the establishment of three major border trading cities, including Jade Mountain City, it was discovered by people with a keen eye and gradually evolved into the jade gambling we know today.
Although A Shi was very excited with his introduction, he still advised, "This place is a mixed bag, and some people cheat. If you two are interested, it's best not to go to this kind of small stall... Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in Hundred Barbarian Market opens stones every day; it's much more legitimate, you can go there!"
Wei Zheng became interested as soon as he heard this.
But Chen Shuangbai showed no interest.
Jade gambling... is essentially gambling.
Nine out of ten gamblers lose...
This is no joke.
It's a pity we didn't bring Changming, who's skilled at recognizing objects and sensing jade veins, along; otherwise, we could have gone and had some fun.
Wei Zheng wanted to go, and Chen Shuangbai didn't stop him.
A Shi led the two gentlemen to the entrance of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. The servants guarding the entrance saw that Chen Shuangbai was so handsome and elegant, his Movement Method were radiant with spiritual light, and his eyebrows were filled with divine light. They knew that he was a distinguished guest.
They proceeded with utmost caution, welcoming them inside.
Wei Zheng and A Shi went to the area where Kai Shi was located, while Chen Shuangbai and Feiguang, led by a servant, began to explore the other areas of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
Chen Shuangbai had heard of the name Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
Among the twelve kingdoms, there is a cultivation Lineage called Gongsun. They do not establish sects or factions, but instead travel freely throughout the twelve kingdoms as merchants, and have built the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, which consumes and distributes massive amounts of Spirit Stone and various rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures every day.
Within the territory of the Jade Spring Sect, there are many large cultivation markets that also have Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, but he doesn't visit them often.
The attendant was a clever young man Qi Refining.
He could tell that both of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage, so he served them carefully, first leading Chen Shuangbai to look at the pills, Law Artifact, talismans, and so on.
Among the array of pills, Chen Shuangbai also spotted quite a few from his own sect.
This shows that the pills of the Jade Spring Sect were quite popular within the twelve kingdoms.
Next come the local specialties.
"Senior, this way please. This is the area where our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion collects unique spiritual materials from Great Li Mountain, many of which are rarely seen outside the area."
Seeing that Chen Shuangbai only glanced at the ordinary items in front of him, the attendant understood and led him to a quieter area on one side of the hall.
Chen Shuangbai didn't encounter anything that interested her.
Feiguang, however, became interested in a tail feather of some kind of bird.
Fortunately, it wasn't very expensive, so Chen Shuangbai bought it and handed it directly to Feiguang.
It was almost dusk when we left Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
Wei Zheng walked out with a smile on his face, his cheeks slightly flushed, indicating that he had won by a considerable margin.
A Shi flattered Wei Zheng from the side, saying auspicious words, which made Wei Zheng even more pleased.
Chen Shuangbai glanced at this fellow disciple.
Although he had a victorious smile on his face, his eyes were clear and bright, so I knew he wasn't caught up in it and didn't say anything, turning back.
