Chapter 149 The Spiritual Tea is Too Bland, Drink Alcohol Next Time

The group of four walked forward and soon arrived at a flat area.

The ground was flat and shrouded in mist, obscuring everyone's vision. They could only see blurry figures walking in the clouds.

Zhang Yuanzhu stretched out his hand and grasped a wisp of mist.

"The formation is a large formation with extremely wide coverage."

Lu Hongyun rubbed her hands together and exclaimed in admiration.

"Fellow Daoist is indeed proficient in formations. This is indeed the outer perimeter of a large formation, and the real market is still inside the formation."

As the words fell, the charming woman took out a jade talisman from her bosom and handed it over.

"Only with this jade talisman can we enter the market."

At this moment, Lu Chen and Ruan Yu both took out the jade talisman and held it in their palms.

Zhang Yuanzhu narrowed his eyes slightly and followed the few people in twists and turns.

About an incense stick of time passed.

The view suddenly opened up, the smoke dissipated, revealing neat streets, bustling crowds of people, and various hawking sounds.

It doesn't look like a monk's spiritual home at all, but rather like a bustling mortal city.

However, when he felt the abundant spiritual energy in the air, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Lu Hongyun looked at her junior sister who was focusing all her attention on the young man, her expression revealing helplessness.

He reached out his hand and gave a gentle push.

"Junior sister, it's time for us to say goodbye to Brother Zhu."

"The following missions are not suitable for Brother Zhu to join."

Ruan Yu's pretty face showed reluctance, and her bright eyes were full of confusion.

Snapped!
Zhang Yuanzhu stretched out his hand, patted the girl's shoulder, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Junior sister, please leave now. I also have important things to do."

The girl pursed her red lips.

He took out a jade slip from his bosom and handed it over.

"Brother, I won't bother you anymore. Black Corner Square is not safe. You have to be careful."

Zhang Yuanzhu nodded.

The two chatted quietly for a few more words before the girl reluctantly left.

Zhang Yuanzhu stood there, watching the three people's backs disappear into the distance before walking towards a stall nearby.

He came here not only to find a place to practice, but also to find some magic spells that suit him.

The magic pattern condensed by the sixth level of Qi training had been selected long ago, and it was the eight-sided fire magic obtained from the secret realm.

This is an extremely brilliant spell that can split into a spell of equal power without weakening the spell itself.

But after that?
After reaching the seventh and eighth levels of Qi training, I had no idea what to do with the subsequent spell patterns. Should I continue strengthening the Red Lotus Planting Under the Snow, or create another combination spell?

If he continued to strengthen, he would not be able to find any flaws in growing red lotus under the snow.

Condensation, range, explosion, shock, sharpness, and division!
The sixth level of reinforcement has reached its limit and cannot be further improved.

He needs to find more spells to broaden his horizons and finally make a decision.

He walked forward to the stall, constantly glancing at the various spiritual objects or magic jade slips.

However, most of them were spiritual medicines, spiritual objects, even elixirs and magical instruments. I didn't see any magic spells being sold.

He walked forward and finally stopped in front of a stall.

Animal skins were spread on the ground, with jade slips placed on them.

These jade slips are worn and full of cracks, as if they could collapse at any time.

There are some strange things on the animal skins, including twisted statues and broken pots.
Zhang Yuanzhu looked at the items on the stall, pointed at the jade slip on the ground, and spoke directly:
"Is there a brief introduction to these jade slips?"

"Have!"

The stall owner, wrapped in a black robe, immediately took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over.

Zhang Yuanzhu took the paper and read it carefully.

After a moment, throw the paper over.

"The incomplete ancient formation is quite interesting."

The boy chuckled.

Time flies and the world changes.

Many unique formations disappeared in history with the demise of their sects, but a few fragments have been passed down.

These incomplete ancient formations have no other value except for some reference value.

"Customer, do you want to buy a broken ancient formation?" The stall owner's voice was inexplicable.

Zhang Yuanzhu tilted his head slightly and looked at the stall owner with a half-smile.

"You seem to want me to buy it. Is there something you haven't said?"

"You're joking, but I certainly hope to sell more items at my stall and increase my income."

The stall owner's hands, hidden under his sleeves, were clenched tightly, and his eyes, the only part exposed, were filled with sincerity.

"Ah!"

Zhang Yuanzhu chuckled and pointed at the three jade slips on the animal skin that recorded the incomplete ancient formation.

"I'm a bit proficient in formations, so I'd like to learn from them and see if I can gain anything."

"Dear guest, you are actually a formation master." The stall owner exclaimed in admiration, stretched out his hand and waved it gently.

The three jade slips fell into Zhang Yuanzhu's hands.

"Three mid-grade spirit stones."

"it is good!"

Without bargaining, the young man took out three white spirit stones and handed them over.

Put the three jade slips separately in the storage bag.

He turned around and walked away.

A hint of anxiety flashed across the stall owner's eyes, and he hadn't finished what he was saying.

He stood up and called out softly.

"Sir, please wait a minute. I have an opportunity here. I wonder if you are so honored."

Zhang Yuanzhu stopped and his low laughter echoed in the stall owner's ears.

"Wulian Palace, there are countless opportunities, not a single one is missing."

"Your Excellency, please keep it for yourself."

As the words fell, the figure had disappeared into the street.

Only the stall owner stood there, his eyes shifting constantly. Finally, he sighed softly and sat down again.

It’s better not to provoke the disciples of Wuliang Palace.

As Zhang Yuanzhu walked, he sensed the three jade slips in his storage bag, his eyes flickering. He hoped to have a good harvest this time.

When passing by a teahouse, there was constant noise and various discussions came into my ears.

"The place is in chaos lately, and it's not peaceful."

"Yes, the Yuan Dynasty royal family has gone crazy for some reason. They sent several foundation-building masters into the chaotic land, apparently searching for something."

"How dare the small Yuan Kingdom do this? They ignored the rules tacitly approved by the three major side sects and allowed Foundation Establishment cultivators to enter this place."

"A few days ago, we left the chaotic land."

"I heard that a powerful person from Wuliang Palace took action and killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator. His head was hung in front of the Yuan Kingdom Pass. Now no one dares to collect the body."

Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes flickered.

'Quitted?'

This is better, he can practice with peace of mind.

He walked up to the tea shop.

Immediately, a waiter came towards us with a neither humble nor arrogant smile on his face.

"Guest, welcome to the tea shop. I wonder if you want to drink tea or buy some to take home."

"Bring a pot of spiritual tea!"

Zhang Yuanzhu stretched out his hand and handed over five low-grade spirit stones.

The waiter smiled even more and took the spirit stone.

"Guest, please follow me."

The two of them came to the second-floor window, one in front and one behind.

After arranging the boy to sit down, the waiter walked away to prepare tea.

Zhang Yuanzhu sat on a chair, leaning against the seat, looking down at the monks coming and going, and listening to the various discussions in the teahouse.

He just leaned lazily in the chair, relaxing all over.

About an incense stick of time passed.

A steaming jade pot was brought up by the waiter.

"Guest, please enjoy your meal."

Zhang Yuanzhu smelled the fresh fragrance and the rich spiritual energy in the jade pot, and nodded his forehead lightly.

He reached out his hand, picked up the jade pot and poured two cups.

With a light tap of his finger on the table, a cup of steaming tea floated directly in front of the waiter.

"Fellow Daoist, has anything big happened in Black Horn Square recently?"

The waiter's eyes were burning. A cup of spiritual tea and half a spiritual stone were equivalent to his harvest of several days.

After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp.

"Sir, the most influential event in the market is still the auction that takes place every ten years. The next auction is only five months away."

“By then, there will surely be all kinds of rare treasures.”

Zhang Yuanzhu picked up the tea, took a sip, and spoke slowly:
"How to participate!"

"The entrance fee in previous years has been one mid-grade spirit stone, and this time will be no exception." The waiter answered quickly.

The young man nodded, drank the spiritual tea, put down the teacup, and poured another cup.

"Black Corner Square is a place where you can live and practice for a long time, preferably in a secluded place."

The environment here is pretty good and there is no danger for the time being.

He planned to practice here for a while and participate in the auction to see if he could gain anything.

The waiter looked thoughtful for about a cup of tea before speaking again:
"To the east of this place, there is a force called Lingyuan Pavilion. They have opened up many caves for living, but..."

"The price is a bit high, fifty low-grade spirit stones a month."

"I understand. Please tell me, fellow Daoist."

Zhang Yuanzhu raised his cup and drank tea.

The waiter beside him also left on his own accord.

The young man leaned back in his chair and drank one cup after another. He finished three large pots before he finished.

Although tea can calm the mind, it is too light. Next time, I'd better find some spiritual wine to drink.

Zhang Yuanzhu’s thoughts.

He slowly stood up, walked down the stairs leisurely, and headed towards the east.

He was tall and slender, with black hair draped over his shoulders, and his face was shrouded in smoke, but he also had a certain charm.

It makes people keep looking back.

"It's him, a disciple of Wuliang Palace."

"Outside the market, I saw him take action and defeat the three elders of Eshan with one move."

"As expected of a disciple from a great sect, his temperament is definitely not something we can compare to."

Zhang Yuanzhu ignored all the noise and came to an attic like a nobleman going for an outing.

The attic is tall, but it cannot hide the mountains and rivers that reach into the sky behind it.

In the attic, a beautiful woman in court robes was lying on a chair when she saw someone stepping in.

She stretched out her arms, revealing her curvy figure. She raised her eyes slightly and asked weakly:

"Renting a cave?"

"Yes."

"There are three levels of cave dwellings: A, B, and C. Among them, the A-level cave dwellings have the most abundant spiritual energy and the largest range, followed by B-level, and then C-level."

"Sir, which level of cave do you want to rent?"

"Class A!"

Zhang Yuanzhu was straightforward.

"A-grade cave dwelling, two mid-grade spirit stones per month, minimum three months."

"Let's rent it for half a year first."

The young man stretched out his hand and handed over twelve medium-grade spirit stones.

The beautiful woman in palace dress looked at the young man for a few seconds, then smiled softly and said:

"A disciple of a great sect, no wonder he is so straightforward."

Then, he stretched out his hand and took the spirit stone.

Another jade hand stretched out, and a white token appeared in the palm and was thrown over.

"Cave No. 9, there are instructions on the token, go find it yourself."

Zhang Yuanzhu nodded and strode towards the towering mountains and rivers.
