Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 269 Trading
"Gulu..."

The refreshing feeling rose in my stomach as I poured the sago wine into my stomach. I shook the gourd, and there wasn't a single drop left.

It should be almost done.

Having drunk the nectar wine for so long, the medicinal effects have been accumulating in the body, and can be activated with just a secret method.

By then.

Within one to two days, Zhu Ju's spiritual power will increase significantly.

"hold on."

"No rush, no rush."

After silently calculating, Zhu Ju did not act impulsively.

He didn't know exactly how much divine soul power it would take to connect with the third soul, but it was definitely the more the better.

Since there's still wine, we might as well wait a few more days until the medicinal effects can no longer accumulate before using magic to activate it.

Zhu Ju hung the wine gourd back on his waist, his ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to summon his flying sword, shouting loudly at the same time:
"Who?"

"It's us!"

Shadows loomed in the mist as several people strode over. Before the figures could be clearly seen, loud laughter could be heard.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, you have a keen sense of perception. Is it your turn to be on duty today?"

"Vice Chairman Yuan".

The familiar voice made Zhu Ju's expression relax slightly.

"Yes, it's my turn to be on duty today. Why are you all back so early this time?"

It's not far to Houshan Market, but the island is currently shrouded in thick fog, making it inconvenient to go back and forth.

In addition, some things are difficult to buy and sell, and a trip there takes a long time, but this time I came back very quickly.

"Haha..." Yu Lou laughed loudly, winking and saying:
"Of course, we've already gotten what we were supposed to get. It's a pity you didn't come along, Fellow Daoist Zhu."

?

Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow.

Ever since the day he forcibly killed the Xiantian person next to the other party, their relationship has been terrible. Today, Yu Lou actually took the initiative to speak, contrary to his usual behavior.

It seems I've gained quite a bit; even my mood has improved.

"go!"

Yuan Mo waved his hand:

"We're so happy today, let's go back to the manor to celebrate. Fellow Daoist Zhu, please come along after this is over!"

Zhu Ju smiled and watched the group leave.

The next day.

Hu Lishu came to visit.

"Did you attend Vice Chairman Yuan's banquet yesterday, Brother Zhu?"

"No."

Zhu Ju shook his head:

"It's already late when my shift ends, so it's not convenient to go and bother you."

"Mm." Hu Lishu nodded, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
"It's a good thing you didn't go. Yesterday, Chairman Chen went to see him and had a big argument with the vice chairman."

"They almost came to blows!"

"Oh!" Zhu Ju looked surprised.
"Why?"

"I also heard about it..." Hu Lishu lowered her voice:

"It seems that Vice President Yuan became a Tribulation Cultivator, killed two Foundation Establishment cultivators, and took their belongings."

“They divided the spoils among themselves, but they wanted to hold our alliance accountable, which enraged Chairman Chen.”

"A cultivator undergoing a tribulation." Zhu Ju frowned.
"Yuan Mo became a Tribulation Cultivator?"

"I heard that's true." Hu Lishu shook her head.

"I don't know the specifics, but it's definitely true that they made a lot of money at the market this time."

"Ugh!"

"I came to Cloud Whale Island with the intention of living a peaceful life and spending the rest of my days there. I never expected to be caught in a whirlpool and unable to leave."

in the afternoon.

Zhu Ju ran into Tong Jiao on the road and asked her about the situation.

"Jie Xiu?"

Tong Jiao pouted:

"How can you be considered a cultivator undergoing tribulation?"

She also went to the back mountain market with Yuan Mo.

"At that time, we encountered several Dao Foundation cultivators on the road and had a dispute. As cultivators, we naturally had to prove ourselves. Vice Master Yuan and Yu Lou killed two of them and seized their magic weapons and storage bags."

"The leader's reprimand is completely unreasonable. Does that mean we should just endure being bullied by others?"

Zhu Ju did not speak.

A few words of argument led to a murder, there must be some untruths in what the other party said, and Tong Jiao was also involved, so it's unlikely we'll get any useful information out of them, but it's certain that they killed someone on the road.

When the alliance meeting was to be held, all the Dao Foundation cultivators gathered together, and the atmosphere became somewhat strange.

Yu Lou, who had been sitting next to Chen Tong, sat down in front of Yuan Mo.

Zhu Ju and Hu Lishu.

Instead, he became closer to Chen Tong.

"Today's meeting."

Taking a deep breath, Chen Tong spoke in a muffled voice:
"First, we will hold a small trade fair so that fellow Daoists can exchange what they have. Second, we will go to the market in the back mountain again."

"Going again?" Hu Lishu was taken aback:
"This……"

Why so frequently?

Dao Foundation cultivators can abstain from grains long ago and have no problem going without food or drink for a long time. They don't need to go to the market to buy supplies like ordinary people do.

"Some materials need to be processed," Yuan Mo explained with a smile.

“Sister Hu, you should still have some of the spirit wine left behind by the Drunken Taoist. You can take it there and sell it.”

“The price of spirit wine has skyrocketed recently, increasing two or three times compared to usual. A trip there will definitely make you a fortune.”

Hu Lishu's eyes lit up.

He subconsciously glanced at Zhu Ju beside him, but seeing that Zhu Ju did not react, he could only shake his head with a wry smile.

"It's too dangerous, I'd better not."

"It's alright," Yuan Mo said with a smile.
“Sister Hu can hand over the spirit wine in your hand to me, and I will buy it at twice the usual price.”

"how do you feel?"

"Okay!" Hu Lishu nodded hurriedly.
"Thank you, Vice Chairman Yuan."

She definitely wouldn't want to go to the market, even if she could earn more money; she wouldn't envy the other party's ability to resell.

"You're too kind." Yuan Mo smiled.

"However, I don't have many spirit stones on hand, so I can only pay half of them first, and I'll make up the rest when I come back."

"OK?"

“This…” Hu Lishu hesitated for a moment:
"no problem!"

"Then it's settled." Yuan Mo clapped his hands lightly and smiled.

"Actually, compared to the spirit wine, the brewing recipe in the hands of the Drunken Taoist is more valuable. If Sister Hu wants to sell the recipe, you must tell me first."

"Definitely." Hu Lishu nodded.

"cough!"

Chen Tong coughed lightly, interrupting their conversation: "In three days, Vice Chairman Yuan will go to the back mountain market again. Those who want to go, please raise your hands."

"Although the market town is safe, the road is dangerous, and there are often robbers who come to raid the cultivators. Fellow cultivators who want to go there must be extremely cautious."

talking.

He glanced at Yuan Mo.

It is unclear what decision the two reached, but neither of the two leaders, Chen Tong and Yuan Mo, showed any hostility.

"I go!"

Yu Lou was the first to raise his hand:
"Following Master Yuan means there's meat to eat, so I, Old Fish, am sticking with you!"

These words sounded very familiar; he seemed to have said them not long ago, but the person he was referring to was Chen Tong.

"Hehe..." Tong Jiaojiao giggled:
"I'll go as well."

Several more people raised their hands; they were either on good terms with Yuan Mo or were people with a rather flamboyant personality.

I'm not going.

Most of them are honest people.

"That's settled then." Chen Tong nodded, his expression unchanged.

"Next up is the trade fair. If you have anything you want or want to sell, feel free to bring it out and show it to us."

"Brother!"

"Junior brother."

The agreed time and the agreed place.

Zhu Ju and Yan Ying met again, but this time Yan Lan was not there, and Yan Ying's expression was anxious.

"Is the Yan family in a bad situation?"

"Yes."

Yan Ying nodded, making no attempt to hide the truth:

"The Yan family is trapped in their ancestral home and can only deplete their foundation, while other families can continuously obtain resources through the market."

“This cannot continue indefinitely.”

"and……"

His face was solemn:
"I suspect that someone in the Yan family has practiced demonic techniques, that there is a demonic cultivator lurking in the shadows, and that person's cultivation level is not low."

Demon cultivator?

Zhu Ju's expression turned serious, and he immediately explained the situation he had encountered.

"The Path of Annihilation and Destruction?"

Yan Ying looked thoughtful:
"Most likely!"

"The people of the East Sea have no fear of the demonic path and are completely unaware of how terrifying a Dao Foundation Demonic Cultivator can be. If given the right opportunity, he could very well turn the entire Cloud Whale Island into a ghostly realm."

"You should know that some demonic cultivators don't need any special materials to advance to the Golden Core stage; enough corpses and essence blood can do the trick."

Zhu Ju nodded.

He wasn't familiar with other sects, but the demoness from the Hehuan Sect, who was at the Dao Foundation stage, could control fellow Dao Foundation cultivators without anyone noticing, causing originally harmonious families and sects to fight each other and eventually fall into chaos. Meanwhile, the demoness could use the madness, anger, and other emotions of others to cultivate.

"never mind."

Yan Ying sighed and said:
"What did you bring with you this time, Junior Brother?"

"Crash..."

Zhu Ju waved his hand, and a large pile of miscellaneous items fell to the ground, flashing with various colors of spiritual light, illuminating the surroundings.

Magical artifacts, talismans, materials, puppets...

Various kinds of supplies were piled up in the field, almost forming a small mountain.

Yan Ying's breath hitched, and his face showed astonishment. Clearly, what was in front of him was far beyond his expectations.

"Junior brother..."

You've truly broadened my horizons!

Of the things before us, not many are truly expensive, but their quantity is enough to amaze even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Zhu Ju smiled.

Many Dao Foundation cultivators and even more Innate Qi Refining cultivators have died at his hands. Some of his items are inconvenient to sell, so he has accumulated more and more possessions over the years.

These supplies are enough to support a small family in the East China Sea.

"it is good!"

"It's really great!"

Yan Ying's body trembled with excitement:

"With these things, the Yan family can hold on for a while longer, and perhaps they will be able to turn things around."

"Junior brother, take a look and see what you need."

As he spoke, he handed over a list of goods.

"Array plate? Array flag? Array core?"

Zhu Ju glanced at it and immediately looked surprised:

"The Yan family is even willing to sell their existing formations?"

"Heh..." Yan Ying shook her head:
"The Yan family is currently in such dire straits that they are practically selling their blood to stay alive. Besides, the Yan family is famous for its array formations and has accumulated the most of these kinds of things. If they don't use them to exchange for supplies now, their enemies might benefit from them later."

"I need materials for the formation." Zhu Ju squinted, his mind racing with calculations:
"The tortoise shell inscribed with the Earth Dragon Formation, the vortex of the Drowning Water Formation..."

"And there are miraculous medicines!"

"Two sets of Jade Spirit Pills!"

"Two groups?" Yan Ying asked in surprise, reminding her:
“Junior brother, if you are taking it alone, I suggest you choose a set of Qionglong Pills. Although this pill is not as effective as the Yuling Pill in increasing cultivation, it has a certain effect on body tempering. Moreover, taking the two pills alternately can increase drug tolerance.”

"Using only one type of pill will gradually reduce its effectiveness."

One group,
That represents one hundred bottles!

This is usually a saying among powerful forces; for an individual cultivator to buy ten or twenty bottles is already considered a big customer.

Even if I bought two sets, the second set had little effect.

"It is so."

Zhu Juliaoran:

"Then give me a set of Jade Spirit Pills and a set of Jade Dragon Pills."

"Senior brother."

Do you know how to leave Cloud Whale Island?

"Leave?" Yan Ying was taken aback at first, then nodded in understanding:

"really."

“Cloud Whale Island is in chaos right now, with major families fighting each other and demonic cultivators lurking around for unknown purposes. Leaving is undoubtedly the best option.”

"However, the formation of the Cloud Whale Merchant Guild is not completely controlled by any one entity. Especially in the current situation, it is not easy to get out unless there is a third-tier barrier-breaking talisman that can temporarily open a passage to escape Cloud Whale Island."

A Tier 3 Barrier-Breaking Talisman?
Although this item can only be used once, it is extremely valuable, comparable to a talisman in some respects.

Zhu Ju's expression darkened.

"Junior brother."

Yan Ying's expression changed, and finally she sighed deeply, taking out a yellow talisman from her person:
"This is a third-tier spirit-extinguishing talisman, which I obtained by chance during one of my outings. Although it is not as good as the barrier-breaking talisman, it should be enough for you to leave Cloud Whale Island alone."

"Consider it a gift from my junior brother for protecting my descendants."

"Senior brother!" Zhu Ju was taken aback. Seeing the other's serious and unyielding expression, he could only nod with a complicated expression.

"Then thank you very much, Senior Brother!"
