I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

The bill came to a total of fifty-three spirit stones, but after a 30% discount, I was given thirty-six.

This single meal of spirit stones cost the outer sect disciples several months' worth of cultivation stones—it was truly far too extravagant…

Su Changming secretly resolved that he would visit Xianhelou less often in the future.

"Senior brother, you're welcome to come anytime!"

"Definitely, definitely..."

Su Changming cupped his hands in greeting, strode out of the Crane Tower, and headed towards the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Mount Wanshou borders the Liuyun Sect and is also the dividing line between the Xia Dynasty and the Man Kingdom.

Blood Spirit Sect cultivators often venture into the Hundred Beast Mountains to hunt and plunder essence blood.

Disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect would also enter the Hundred Beast Mountains to hunt, collect monster pelts, and draw talismans.

One is righteous, the other is demonic; friction is inevitable when they meet. The disciples of the two sects in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain have fought countless times.

For the two sect leaders, the deaths and injuries of their disciples were secondary; the most important thing was to hone their disciples' abilities.

Therefore, they all tacitly agree not to send Foundation Establishment cultivators into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. When a demon beast comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage is born in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, they will spontaneously exterminate it.

For the Qi Refining cultivators of the Flowing Cloud Sect, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is a treasure trove for training, but also a den of monsters that devour people. Even though Su Changming considered himself to be quite strong, he did not dare to set foot in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

They only dared to come to this outskirts to look for a market where disciples could exchange.

As Su Changming slowly approached, the small market town, no bigger than a black dot in the distance, gradually came into view.

"We've finally arrived."

Su Changming looked at the hand-drawn map and breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days ago, he used a lot of monster hides to draw talismans, which not only cost him a lot of spirit stones, but also depleted the shop's stock.

So the shopkeeper suggested that Su Changming go to the foot of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and find the disciples who came out of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to trade with. Their furs were guaranteed to be fresh and cheaper.

"Spirit Gathering Grass! A ten-year-old Spirit Gathering Grass is no worse than a Qi Condensation Pill!"

"Meat and fur of a demonic beast comparable to those at the Innate Realm! First come, first served!"

"A cub of the Purple Spirit Fox is only ten spirit stones! A great gift for your partner or family! Don't miss out!"

As soon as he entered the market, Su Changming had the illusion that he was in a bustling marketplace.

Anyone who didn't know better would think these people were hunters.

"Senior brother, is this your first time visiting Qingyunfang?"

A cultivator dressed in plain clothes walked towards Su Changming and asked.

"Yes, is it obvious?"

Su Changming nodded upon hearing this.

"Only senior students who are here for the first time will be dumbfounded when they see this."

The man chuckled.

"Song Ziwei".

The man cupped his hands in greeting.

"Su Changming..."

Su Changming also cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"I wonder what this senior brother is seeking at Qingyun Workshop? Is it a spiritual herb, or perhaps a demonic beast? There are even fragments of magical artifacts here, which are said to have been found by a lucky senior brother in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain."

Song Ziwei inquired.

"Even fragments of magical artifacts are included?"

Su Changming was immediately surprised upon hearing this.

"It's not surprising. This place is located between the Xia Dynasty and the Barbarian Kingdom, and it is also the dividing line between the Blood Spirit Sect and the Flowing Cloud Sect."

When the two countries went to war, this was the first battlefield.

Song Ziwei explained.

"I see. May I ask, senior brother, do you have any high-quality fur, preferably intact, though the grade doesn't need to be too high?"

Su Changming nodded in sudden realization, and then asked.

"Qingyunfang has no shortage of furs; they're not only intact, but also cheap. Follow me!"

Song Ziwei chuckled and led Su Changming toward the market.

Along the way, small houses were scattered one after another.

Among them was a wonton shop, with a sign that said a bowl of wontons cost ten taels of silver for a mortal-level demon beast and one spirit stone for a yellow-level demon beast.

The filling was actually made with monster meat.

However, many of the dishes at Xianhelou actually use meat made from mythical beasts, but these are domesticated beasts...

"Sir, would you like to come in and have some fun...?"

As they passed a verdant pavilion, several beautiful women's eyes lit up when they saw Su Changming, and they greeted him cheerfully.

Startled, Su Changming hurriedly urged Song Ziwei to leave quickly.

"Hehe... Demon hunters disregard life and death. They may come back alive today, but they might be left to rot in the wilderness tomorrow. That's why there are quite a few shops like the one we just saw in this place."

Song Ziwei chuckled.

Unexpectedly, this inner disciple was still a novice.

"I observe that many of the cultivators here are not from the Flowing Cloud Sect?"

Su Changming asked in confusion.

This place is clearly at the foot of the Liuyun Sect, but he saw that most of the cultivators were not wearing the Liuyun Sect's disciple robes. Presumably, they hadn't forgotten to wear them, but rather they were not disciples of the Liuyun Sect at all.

"That's natural. There are many demonic beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, but there are no Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts yet. Even if there is just a slight sign, it will be reported and rewarded. As a result, this place has naturally become a blessed land for Qi Refining cultivators."

It also became a gathering place for independent cultivators.

Although individual cultivators are weak, when they gather together, their strength is great, and with a well-organized division of labor, they can easily defeat yellow-rank demonic beasts.

Song Ziwei nodded.

Mortal-level demonic beasts have not yet developed much intelligence. Most of them have swallowed some old mountain herbs, gained some cultivation, and become strong and healthy. Even innate martial artists are no match for them.

Yellow-rank demonic beasts not only have just begun to develop intelligence, but they also possess a bloodline spell, making them quite powerful. Even cultivators of the same realm could perish if they are not careful.

As for the Xuan-rank demonic beasts, they can already speak, their intelligence is no different from that of humans, and they can even cultivate on their own.

As for the Earth-rank and Heaven-rank demonic beasts that follow, they are comparable to powerful beings in the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages.

Su Changming had only seen a few lines of records about it.

"We're here. The owner of this shop is a friend of mine. He guarantees you a fair price."

Stopping in a grocery store, Song Ziwei spoke.

Su Changming observed the shop. There were still traces of blood on the chopping board in front of the door, and they were very fresh. It was likely that a monster's corpse had been disemboweled not long ago.

Looking around the general store, furs were neatly arranged, and on the left shelf were some common spiritual herbs, while on the right were some "miscellaneous items" that even Su Changming couldn't quite identify.

"Brother Li! Our guest has arrived!"

Song Ziwei shouted.

"Brother Li?"

However, after a long time without anyone coming out of the shop, Song Ziwei called out again, somewhat puzzled.

"Song Ziwei! I've told you a hundred times! Don't yell and scream when I'm not around! My Golden Spirit Talisman failed to draw again!"

After an unknown amount of time, when even Song Ziwei was feeling slightly embarrassed, a hurried figure rushed out.

What came into view was a young man with bloodshot eyes and a thin build.

At this moment, he held a pen in his right hand and a talisman in his left, looking angrily at Song Ziwei.

"Am I... introducing a customer to you...? If you ask me, you've drawn this talisman a hundred times and it's never worked. Why are you so obsessed with drawing this thing?"

Upon hearing this, Song Ziwei said somewhat sullenly.
