With the Eight Immortals' magical treasures in hand, even a mortal like myself! Ha!

The market town in Huangfeng Valley was quite famous, and Dong Xuan'er knew its location, so Gu Qing and Dong Xuan'er flew to the vicinity in no time.

Five miles from the market, Gu Qing and Dong Xuan'er descended from the sky, because there is a rule in the cultivation world that flying is not allowed within five miles of the market.

Gu Qing and Dong Xuan'er did not change their attire; they still wore the same clothes as the disciples of Huangfeng Valley as they entered the market.

Although it was still five miles from the market town, many cultivators could already be seen hurrying along the way.

Some of the cultivators were dressed differently from the people of Yue, but it was unclear which country they belonged to.

Just as Gu Qing was looking around, he and Dong Xuan'er had already reached the street corner.

Looking from the street corner, Huangfeng Valley's market town is similar to an ordinary small town, with only one street running north to south. There are houses of varying sizes on both sides of the street, with the southern side being more grand and the northern side being much simpler.

This is the market town of Huangfeng Valley. It is managed by Huangfeng Valley disciples, but the properties do not all belong to Huangfeng Valley. Some properties are also rented out to independent cultivators and some family cultivators.

As soon as Gu Qing entered the market, he felt several gazes sweep over him, seemingly from Foundation Establishment stage experts stationed there.

After seeing Huang Fenggu's attire, all those gazes quickly averted.

Gu Qing had no intention of greeting the Foundation Establishment stage experts stationed in the market, so he walked straight into the street.

Gu Qing's eyes quickly swept around to the left and right, and soon spotted a very magnificent building on the side - Wanbaolou.

"Found it, it's really impressive." Gu Qing glanced at Wanbaolou, the place where Han Li exchanged thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.

Han Li also exchanged a great many treasures with Wanbaolou. With that in mind, Gu Qing led Dong Xuan'er into Wanbaolou.

Upon entering, Gu Qing's first impression was its spaciousness. Although there were a dozen or so people in the hall, it still felt quite empty.

Gu Qing had only ever experienced this feeling of spaciousness in the lobby of a five-star hotel before.

A young servant in blue robes saw Gu Qing and Dong Xuan'er enter and immediately approached them with a beaming smile, asking, "What would you two immortal masters of Huangfeng Valley like? Would you like me to introduce you to something? Our shop will definitely provide you with excellent value for your money."

"I want to see your manager!" Gu Qing said simply and clearly.

The servant in blue didn't find it strange, because Gu Qing hadn't concealed his strength by revealing his mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation. This usually meant he had a big deal and wanted to see the shopkeeper, so it wasn't unusual.

"Please follow me, both of you." The servant in blue stepped aside and led Gu Qing and Dong Xuan'er up to the second floor. Gu Qing was surprised when they arrived at the second floor, as it looked like a place where someone lived.

At this moment, a refined middle-aged man was reading a book. When he saw someone coming up, he put down his book, looked Gu Qing up and down, and then said with a smile, "I wonder what kind of help the immortal master of Huangfeng Valley needs? I am Tian Buli from Wanbaoge."

"Gu Qing! This is my junior sister, Dong Xuan'er. She's here to exchange spirit stones." Gu Qing didn't have the habit of using aliases; it was a sign of his confidence in his own strength. Within Huangfeng Valley, aside from the Core Formation stage elders, he didn't believe anyone could rival him.

The source of this confidence naturally comes from the two treasures of the Eight Immortals on his person.

"So it's Immortal Master Gu. May I ask what you wish to exchange for spirit stones?" Tian Buli guided Gu Qing and Dong Xuan'er to sit down, and at the same time instructed the servant to brew a pot of fine tea.

After sitting down, Gu Qing didn't waste any words and took out two sacks of spiritual herbs from his storage bag. The sacks were covered in mud, which had dirtied the table.

However, Tian Buli didn't care much. Instead, he opened the sack and took a look. When he found that the sack was full of freshly picked medicinal herbs, he was surprised.

He couldn't help but ask, "Were all of these planted by the immortal master?"

"Stop with all this nonsense, just tell me, how many spirit stones is this sack worth?" Dong Xuan'er interrupted from the side.

It was as if all the medicinal herbs in the sack belonged to Dong Xuan'er. Seeing this, Gu Qing was speechless, but he didn't say anything.

Tian Buli realized he had been impolite and quickly apologized. He then had several servants come up to help him sort and arrange all the medicinal herbs.

"There are thirty-five medicinal herbs in total, all around four hundred years old. I wonder if I'm right." Tian Buli quickly sorted out the medicinal herbs.

Gu Qing nodded after hearing this: "It is indeed thirty-five medicinal herbs. What price can you offer, shopkeeper?"

"The herbs are all freshly picked, and the soil around their roots hasn't even dried yet. How about we give these thirty-five herbs one hundred mid-grade spirit stones? What do you think, Immortal Master?" Tian Buli's words were filled with excitement.

You know, the most expensive top-grade magic weapon you can sell is only twenty mid-grade spirit stones, but here it's a deal for hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones, how could he not be excited?

"Sure, let's go with this price." Gu Qing didn't haggle and agreed immediately.

Upon hearing this, Tian Buli was overjoyed and immediately ordered people to prepare mid-grade spirit stones.

Before long, two servants came up carrying two trays. When the red cloth on them was lifted, fifty mid-grade spirit stones could be seen in each tray.

This was the first time Dong Xuan'er had ever seen so many spirit stones. She couldn't help but reach out her little hand, but just as she was about to touch the spirit stones, her wrist was grabbed by another big hand.

"What are you doing?" Gu Qing asked bluntly.

Dong Xuan'er wriggled her body coquettishly: "Senior brother, what's yours is mine, isn't it? I just wanted to keep it safe for you."

"Thank you, junior sister, but it's not necessary." Gu Qing waved her hand and put all the spirit stones into her storage bag.

Dong Xuan'er felt wronged after seeing this. So many spirit stones, and she couldn't even touch them.

"Hmph, if you don't buy me a top-tier magic weapon, I won't go out with you anymore," Dong Xuan'er said, somewhat cheekily.

Seeing this, Gu Qing simply chuckled and said, "When we arrive at the market in Yuanwu Kingdom, I'll have someone tailor-make a top-tier magic artifact for you."

How many spirit stones are worth in a top-tier magical artifact?

Ordinary ones cost only three or four mid-grade spirit stones, while premium ones cost only five or six mid-grade spirit stones.

Gu Qing, a cultivator with 3,100 savings, didn't care about such a small amount of money.

"I mean what I say," Gu Qing said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuan'er smiled broadly and said, "Senior brother, you really are the best."

Tian Buli felt as if he had missed out on a great deal, and hurriedly said, "Our shop's top-grade magical artifacts are in no way inferior to custom-made ones. Would you two immortal masters like to take a look?"

Gu Qing just smiled and didn't buy any magical artifacts from Wanbaolou.

The jade flute in his hand was a top-grade magic weapon, sufficient for Foundation Establishment stage users. As for talismans, he also had talisman treasures given to him by Hong Fu, with power equivalent to one-tenth of that of a mid-stage Core Formation stage user, so he was not lacking in these for the time being.

And so, Gu Qing and Dong Xuan'er left Wanbaolou, much to Tian Buli's regret.
