Purple Moon Lake Market
"Cui Xueyong, stop keeping me in suspense."
"Speak your mind." Tang Tianzi said with a hint of anger.
"Yes." Cui Xueyong stood up, raised his head slightly, and looked at the moon.
"This monks' market is located in the center of Gazing Dragon Lake."
"Gazing Dragon Lake?
But that place is a desert stretching for thousands of miles.
Not to mention the Dragon-Gazing Lake Desert, where the daytime is unbearably hot and the nighttime is bitterly cold, not only do ordinary people dare to enter, but even birds rarely dare to fly into the central area.
The Dragon-Gazing Lake Desert is not only even more devoid of Spiritual Qi, but it also seems to contain a mysterious spiritual array, greatly limiting the strength of cultivators who enter.
"How come this cultivator's market is in the center of Gazing Dragon Lake?" Tang Tianzi frowned.
She is now at the Meridian Opening Third Layer, with the cultivation level of the Thoroughfare Vessel Spirituality Realm.
In search of a place rich in Spiritual Qi, Tang Tiandong, who is now at the Meridian Opening Second Layer and the Governing Vessel Passage Realm, has been carefully exploring the area around Dangwu Mountain for the past three years.
The Dragon-Gazing Lake Desert stretches for thousands of miles. The Tang Household only diverted water to cultivate fields on the northern edge of the desert, but did not dare to explore it further. This was because, in addition to the harsh environment, there seemed to be an invisible mystical array in the desert that restricted their cultivation.
"It is precisely because Gazing Dragon Lake has a mysterious spiritual array that ordinary people cannot enter, and cultivators' cultivation is restricted if they go in, that there are few people going to the cultivator market there."
"And entering the cultivator market costs money, and it's not cheap," Cui Xueyong said with a boastful expression.
Gazing Dragon Lake, as its name suggests, was originally a lake stretching for thousands of miles.
In High Antiquity times, a divine dragon lived in the lake, hence the name.
Legend has it that there were as many as a thousand dragons in Gazing Dragon Lake at its peak.
More than a thousand years ago, a celestial demon descended upon the world, seeking to devour and slaughter all living beings in the Central Lands.
An immortal Immortal Lord with the cultivation of the [Spirit Transformation] realm, who came from an unknown place, commanded the divine dragons in Gazing Dragon Lake for the sake of all living beings, and at the same time summoned all the divine dragons in the world to fight against the Heavenly Demon.
The battle between the Great Sage Immortal Lord and the Heavenly Demon caused a cataclysmic change in the heavens and earth, although the Great Sage Immortal Lord ultimately killed the Heavenly Demon.
However, the True Lord also perished, and at the same time, hundreds of divine dragons in the world also died in battle.
The dragon race, a race that has existed for tens of thousands of years, has also perished and disappeared.
For some unknown reason, Wanglongbo, Gazing Dragon Lake crisscrossed by rivers and lakes for thousands of miles and forming a square shape, has lost a single drop of water and become a vast desert.
Meanwhile, there seems to be a mysterious spiritual array in the Dragon-Gazing Lake Desert, which greatly limits the cultivation level of cultivators who enter it.
More than eighty years ago, a male Qi Refinement Rogue Cultivator surnamed Zhong, who had reached the Qi Refining stage, came to Gazing Dragon Lake and discovered a spring in the center of the Dragon-Gazing Lake Desert.
Gradually, an oasis several miles in circumference formed around the spring.
The crescent-shaped lake, formed by the convergence of spring water, has purple minerals at its bottom, and the moon's reflection in the water appears as a purple image.
Therefore, the spring was named Purple Moon Spring, and the oasis was named Purple Moon Islet.
A cultivator surnamed Zhong set up an array and opened a cultivator market in Purple Moon Islet.
Because the cultivator surnamed Zhong welcomes all who come, and it is said that his cultivation level has now reached the Foundation Establishment.
Whether you belong to a reputable sect, Devil Cultivator, a corpse cultivator, or even Demon Beast capable of transforming into human form, you can come to the Purple Moon Lake Market to buy, sell, and exchange goods.
So gradually, the Purple Moon Lake Market gradually faded into obscurity, but it gained some fame among cultivators.
However, most reputable sects that cultivate immortality disdain going to this Purple Moon Market.
Since most of the Purple Moon Lake Market are rogue Rogue Cultivator from all walks of life, there's no guarantee that the treasures they bring aren't stolen from others, or stained with blood...
After listening to Cui Xueyong's explanation of the Purple Moon Lake Market in Gazing Dragon Lake, Tang Tiansong's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: With this Purple Moon Market, I shouldn't have to worry about selling the Qi Refining Stage beast cores I get in the future.
You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household.
The hundred Spirit Stone left by his father Tang Yuan, to buy Cultivation Method and weapons were spent in less than a year.
There's only one Seven Stars Sword, and Tang Tianlan is using it now.
With the remaining Spirit Stone, besides buying some basic spell Jade Slip such as "Sound Transmission Technique," "Golden Light Technique," "Spirit Fire Technique," and "Law Technique Spirit Recovery Technique," they also bought five very ordinary weapons for the Meridian Opening Stage.
To ensure safety in the Three Graves Mountain, it's essential to buy a suitable weapon.
Although the weapons I bought were very ordinary and had no grade, they were still more than ten times more powerful than the steel swords and blades used by ordinary mortal warriors.
Besides paying off debts and spending money on elixirs, talismans, and other items, the Tang Household siblings still have twenty-seven Spirit Stone Spirit Stone left from the herbs they collected and the beast pills they hunted, which they sold over the past three years, guided by the white lynx.
But right now, the Tang Household doesn't have any pills for the Qi Refining Stage.
Cui Xueyong also taught Tang Tianzi some magic arrays, both openly and secretly, but activating these arrays required consuming Spirit Stone.
There is a shortage of Spirit Stone, and a large quantity of Spirit Stone.
Therefore, Cui Xueyong's mention of Purple Moon Lake Market filled Tang Tiansong with hope.
"Brother Cui, that's not right."
You said that a thousand years ago, in order to resist the Heavenly Demon, the Great Sage Immortal Lord who saved all living beings and the dragon race of the world all perished.
According to you, all the dragons in the world went extinct more than a thousand years ago.
"But I've seen dragons in Huai'an City, and I've heard there are eight of them." Tang Tiandong was somewhat skeptical.
"Oh, those are the eight dragons from the Long Household."
Six were killed and two escaped because they participated in the war between the mortal court and the imperial court.
That kind of dragon was only about a hundred feet long and could not be considered a divine dragon.
"The last dragons did indeed all die a thousand years ago." Cui Xueyong said with a look of regret. "More than a thousand miles east of Pingyang Commandery is a huge saltwater lake called Bitter Moon Lake."
On Bitter Moon Lake lies an island spanning hundreds of miles, named Divine Dragon Island.
The Long Household resides on Divine Dragon Island. As for the dragons of the Long Household, they can only be called giant dragons, not divine dragons.
The dragons in the Long Household all hatched from fossilized eggs of a divine dragon.
The dragons of the Long Household have a lifespan of about three hundred years and can grow up to a length of one hundred zhang (approximately 33 meters).
The real dragons, however, can live for over a thousand years and can grow up to three hundred feet long.
Oh, right.
I've heard that in the cultivator market of Gazing Dragon Lake, if you're lucky, you might even find cultivators selling fossilized dragon eggs.
Tang Tiansong nodded. Although the Long Lineage on Divine Dragon Island claimed to be direct descendants of the High Antiquity Dragon-Taming Clan.
However, all the families and clans surrounding Gazing Dragon Lake are descended from the High Antiquity Dragon-Taming Clan: Gazing Dragon Lake was originally the dwelling place of the divine dragon.
"Xueyong, you said you need to pay to go to Purple Moon Market? How much is it?" Tang Tiansong asked.
"It used to be free, but it seems like they started charging admission tickets eight years ago, one Spirit Stone per person."
"If you don't have Spirit Stone, you can use what you bring as collateral, and pay me back after the sale is successful." Cui Xueyong thought carefully, "Don't think it's too expensive. The protective array set up by that cultivator surnamed Zhong to protect the Purple Moon Lake Market also requires Spirit Stone."
Furthermore, this cultivator surnamed Zhong, besides protecting the safety of guests within Purple Moon Lake Market, is also responsible for security within a 500-mile radius outside Purple Moon Market.
