In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 86: The new map has lots of resources.
If Shen Xing had to describe it in one sentence, it would be that this was a large city that couldn't possibly have been built with the technological level of the 19th century.
But it truly reveals the brilliance of another civilization, one that belongs entirely to martial arts, a civilization of the extraordinary.
Shen Xing admired the view from high above for a while before descending. When he appeared at the city gate, he was greeted by a handsome young nobleman dressed in white.
Clearly, even in such a big city, his appearance still stood out.
Not to mention the powerful aura emanating from his cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Body, which made the gatekeepers dare not charge him an entrance fee and respectfully welcomed him in.
Inside the city, two members of the Gong family who had already received the message rushed forward to greet them.
"Young master."
These two cultivators, one named Gong Changsong and the other Gong Changgang, were at the Marrow Refining stage. At this moment, they completely placed themselves in the position of servants, both kneeling and bowing.
These days, they have become increasingly aware of how unfathomable this young master is.
It's not just about strength, but also about tactics.
Not long ago, Pang Zhan, who was staying in Qingshui City, contacted them through that magical treasure, saying that the young master had already set off and asked them to wait at the city gate. And indeed, he arrived in such a short time.
They traveled for a full four days!
Even if it flew in, it wouldn't be this fast.
However, they had all gotten used to it and become numb to it; in short, they just treated it with reverence.
"Where can I buy the best pills?" Shen Xing walked forward unhurriedly, and his first question was about pills.
He has taken the last Grade One Bone Tempering Pill today.
At this moment, the bones in his body are still being continuously tempered.
Having experienced this speed, one naturally doesn't want to go back to the previous level of efficiency.
"In reply to Young Master, the Spring Rain Merchant Guild is undoubtedly the best," said Gong Changsong. "This guild is one of the top in the entire Wu Region. It has branches in every major city, its own alchemists, and it can even auction off second-grade pills from time to time."
Even the most powerful experts in the Marrow Refining stage couldn't help but look on with longing when this chamber of commerce was mentioned.
Don't be fooled by their top-tier status in Clearwater City and their own families; compared to such a powerful force, they are nothing.
Their family heirlooms were simply items that people could freely buy and sell at the counter.
"Let's go there first," Shen Xing said.
The "Detective" app had already given him a hint: some of the eyes watching him from all directions were clearly tailing him.
Shen Xing knew that so many days had passed since the events in Qingshui City. Even in a city like this, he couldn't possibly be an unknown person. With his innate level of intimidation, it was only natural that he would attract attention.
Not to mention, the Pang family is one of the eight major families here, and Pang Yue is still in his hands.
But no matter what, let's get our hands on the pills first.
Just as Shen Xing was walking towards the Spring Rain Chamber of Commerce, as he had expected, news of his arrival was spreading rapidly throughout Jiaolong City.
Most ordinary people and martial artists probably don't even know Shen Xing.
However, once a certain level of power is established, it is impossible for them to remain unconcerned.
It possesses innate-level flying puppets and multiple spiritual weapons. Its background is mysterious, and its talent is extraordinary. It can easily kill more than ten marrow-refining stage cultivators during the bone refining stage, suggesting that it comes from beyond the realm.
This is the impression Shen Xing leaves on the world now.
Each of these items alone is enough to attract attention, and all of them together are even more remarkable.
However, Shen Xing hadn't originally intended to keep a low profile.
On the contrary, the more high-profile, the better.
The more high-profile you are, the more confident you are, and the less trouble you will encounter.
He swaggered over to a tall building, seven stories high, with an area comparable to a large shopping mall in his previous life. This single building alone far surpassed the Red Fragrance Pavilion in Qingshui City in terms of scale and decoration. The bustling crowd inside gave Shen Xing the illusion of being in a modern shopping mall.
He had just arrived at the door when he saw a smiling, stout middle-aged man walking quickly towards him. Judging from his aura, the man was at least at the Marrow Refining stage.
"This is truly an honored guest. I am the deputy manager of the Spring Rain Chamber of Commerce in Jiaolong City. Young Master Shen, you may call me Miao Li. Please come upstairs. The treasures upstairs are more befitting of your status."
Deputy General Manager?
It took him less than twenty minutes to walk from the city gate to here. Not only did they learn his identity, but they even took the initiative to greet him.
They made no attempt to hide their surveillance.
Shen Xing smiled, stepped inside, and said casually, "What kind of treasures could a place like this have? I'm just here to buy some daily necessities."
"Young Master Shen is a man of wide experience, it's normal that you wouldn't be interested in the treasures of our small place," Miao Li said with a smile. "However, we do have many unique features here, such as the treasures unearthed from those ruins, which you can't find anywhere else."
"Oh?" Shen Xing seemed slightly interested.
This Flood Dragon City has not only yielded the bones of a flood dragon, but also many other artifacts from a long time ago, suggesting that a great battle to annihilate a flood dragon took place here.
Although most of them have disappeared or become useless over time, it is still possible to occasionally find something useful.
For example, the transmission of divine will through painting on special scrolls.
Three of the eight great families even made their fortunes by unearthing powerful divine inheritances.
Therefore, it would be impossible for Shen Xing not to be interested when Miao Li brought up this topic.
If one can find the "Nine Shadows Movement Technique," a martial arts technique that has reached the top level, in just Pang Yue, then there must be even better ones in Jiaolong City.
Shen Xing walked all the way to the fifth floor, listening to Miao Li's introduction, and gained a general understanding of the place.
Spring Rain Merchant Guild doesn't just sell items for martial artists.
It sells everyday items for ordinary people, including clothing, food, and medicine, and already shows some signs of being a department store. However, starting from the third floor, it mainly sells what martial artists need, including various pills, as well as weapons, spiritual medicines, minerals, and even divine inheritance.
Besides the Spring Rain Merchant Guild selling their wares, other martial artists are also allowed to set up stalls here, but they only need to pay a fee.
It can increase revenue and also increase popularity.
It must be said that even without scientific and industrial technological advancements, human wisdom remains universal.
Once you reach the fifth floor, you'll start to find some high-end treasures.
The Grade One Bone Refining Pill that Shen Xing needs can be purchased here.
"The fifth floor is usually only open to a very few distinguished guests, and only those with a token can enter. Of course, Young Master Shen is certainly qualified." When Miao Li arrived, he took out an exquisite jade token with a big smile. It was even gold-inlaid jade. Given the purchasing power of gold in this world, this jade token alone was worth a lot.
However, after Shen Xing took it, he casually tossed it to Gong Changsong behind him.
"From now on, you'll run errands for me for these daily necessities."
"Yes." Gong Changsong was excited.
He alone is not qualified to come to a place like this.
It's not that the strength of someone in the Marrow Refining stage is insufficient, but rather that their status is inadequate.
At this moment, someone delivered a box of pills in a jade box, which Miao Li presented with both hands.
"Young Master Shen, do you think this is the kind of elixir you need?"
Shen Xing opened it and saw that it was exactly the Grade One Bone Tempering Pill he needed.
There were ten in total, neatly arranged inside.
The new map has abundant resources. In Qingshui City, the Dan Pavilion needs to make an extra request to the headquarters to obtain a mere five pills, but here, one can easily obtain ten pills, and they seem to be of better quality, obviously newly refined and with better preserved medicinal properties.
"Not bad." Shen Xing nodded and told Gong Changsong to put it away. "Send me the best pills for the Marrow Refining stage, so I don't have to make another trip in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Miao Li hesitated slightly before saying, "Then Young Master Shen has come at the right time. Our shop also has a batch of top-grade Marrow Transformation Pills, which are the best pills to help with marrow refining and transformation, but..."
Shen Xing frowned slightly.
He noticed something different on Miao Li's face.
"However, these pills have already been reserved and distributed by us." A voice suddenly came from not far away.
Several young people who looked to be no older than twenty or thirty years old were striding over.
The leader was dressed exquisitely, handsome, and especially distinguished by his extraordinary demeanor. It was clear at a glance that he was a master in the Marrow Refining stage, and not just a beginner.
At this age, with such strength, he naturally gives people a sense of high spirits and vigor.
However, after looking at Shen Xing, he couldn't help but be somewhat amazed.
In terms of temperament alone, Shen Xing was indeed completely different from all the disciples of the great families he had met before.
More composed and profound.
"So you're from Qingshui City?" the young man asked directly. "I am Pang Qingshan, the eldest grandson of the Pang family. My third uncle is in your hands?"
"So you're from the Pang family." Shen Xing smiled slightly. "Just a bandit who was driven out and makes a living by robbing people everywhere, is he that important?"
Although he had long suspected that the Pang family would come looking for him, the speed at which they came was still somewhat unexpected.
No, perhaps it was just the person in front of us who acted without authorization.
Anyone who had carefully reviewed his information would not have acted so rashly.
That alloy longsword, which had killed more than ten people in the Marrow Refining stage, was still hanging at his waist.
"No matter what, he's still my third uncle." Pang Qingshan narrowed his eyes. "If you want the Marrow Transformation Pill, I happen to have three left. Send them back to my third uncle, and I'll give you those three."
He did indeed come to us on his own after learning the news.
On the one hand, they wanted to see the level of this rumored "extraterrestrial genius".
On the other hand, if he could save his third uncle, it would greatly benefit his status and reputation within the family.
In his view, being willing to offer three Marrow Rejuvenation Pills was already a very sincere gesture.
