Miao Shun and A Rong entered the space obediently, which of course seemed to be the monster bag on Shen Qingyi's waist.
She Zijiang took Shen Qingyi through the clouds and smoke. After a slight vibration in the space, the two figures flashed and the scenery in front of them changed.
Shen Qingyi really didn't expect that the wooden attic shrouded in clouds and mist was not entirely the truth.
"Although the wooden attic has the effect of isolating the spiritual consciousness of cultivators, the village chief of Liusha River, just in case, still spent a lot of money to set up a set of formations around the Fangsha group of buildings."
Shen Qingyi was a little curious. At this moment, they were on an ancient street.
The streets here are built along the water, so most of the attics are built on the water, supported by some thick wooden pillars, and a few buildings are built on some huge rocks.
The layout of the building's attic is also unique.
"Fish swimming in the water! Ten low-grade spirit stones! Fellow Daoists, don't miss it if you pass by! Come and take a look!"
"Dream-colored long-legged insect! Fifty spirit stones per pound!"
"Star Sea Ore, three pieces of one hundred low-grade spirit stones!"
The sounds of street vendors shouting are in my ears.
Looking at those monks who were dressed in somewhat special clothes, Shen Qingyi quickly found other monks who were the same as them.
"Most of the indigenous people living here are from the Liusha River area. This place has a long history, so generation after generation, they have gradually formed their own unique cultural customs and characteristics, and their clothing is also the same. Moreover, this place is protected by the Liusha River City Lord. The streets of Shaqunlou are not only inhabited by monks, but also by some mortals without spiritual power. Some of them rely on doing business with monks to make a living, and most of what they sell are specialty products of the Liusha River area. We are equivalent to outsiders here."
Shen Qingyi was even more surprised now. The cultivators in the Liusha River area seemed really out of place in the world of immortal cultivation. Instead, they were very similar to the ancient towns in his previous life.
"The human race living here lives a very comfortable life, and they have their own set of survival rules. Fighting is prohibited in the city, and this place has also been listed as a protected area by the Immortal Alliance."
"A protected area?"
Seeing Shen Qingyi's confusion, She Zijiang couldn't help but smile and touched her head.
"This is a new rule recently established by the Millennium Immortal Alliance. It's not just because these special places provide a certain amount of goods to the Immortal Alliance each year in exchange for protection, but also because each special area has its own priorities. Take the Flowing Sand River area, for example. While it's famous in the cultivation world for its beautiful scenery, the fish and shrimp it abounds in, besides being delicious, also have other special uses. Take the Flowing Sand Red Crab, for example. While delicious, it's also very helpful in strengthening one's cultivation. And how many of the Immortal Alliance elders don't have younger generations? Besides the Flowing Sand River area, the same is true for other protected areas in the cultivation world, like Wangshanchuan. It's connected to other areas, but due to past wars, the environment there has become extremely harsh, and the indigenous people living there have been slow to develop. After being discovered by the Immortal Alliance, it was added to its protection area and provided with corresponding subsidies."
Shen Qing nodded.
“Hula!”
A small boat passed by below the aisle, and the person rowing it was a mortal, a middle-aged man.
"Would you two immortals like to take a boat?"
The buildings in Shaqunlou are clustered together. The wooden walkways above the waterways are designed to show their characteristics. The buildings are mainly for aesthetics, so they are winding. The waterways are the main transportation routes in the city.
She Zijiang explained this to Shen Qingyi, and the two of them got on the boat.
There was a sign on the boat with a clear price. For one low-grade spirit stone per person, one could freely explore all the scenery in the entire Shaqunlou City.
But the two of them are now mainly dealing with the fish and shrimp they have just caught.
Hearing She Zijiang's words, the big man nodded in understanding. While rowing the boat skillfully, he did not forget to chat with the two of them.
"Among our Shaqunlou, the three best places for handling fish and shrimp are Yulou in the east, Bingkui Pavilion in the southeast, and Shengjiu Restaurant in the west."
She Zijiang nodded in understanding.
"I've heard of it."
The last time he came here with his friends, he chose the Oriental Jade Tower.
This time, the two chose the Shengjiu Hotel in the west because it was the fastest of the three, and the auction held by the Immortal Alliance was next door.
If there is leftovers, they can be taken there for auction. Also, they can take Shen Qingyi to buy some that she is interested in.
If you only look at things but don't buy anything when you're out and about, you won't be able to fully experience the fun, at least that's what She Zijiang thinks.
The small boats were sailing in the river, and when passing by some small boats, the big man would say hello to the people he knew.
"You two immortals have arrived at the right time. The number of cultivators traveling to and from the Flowing Sand River has decreased significantly recently. The restaurant and the auction have also offered some benefits. If you two rush over now, you will surely be able to enjoy them."
She Zijiang looked at the major shops above the river. The people walking inside were indeed the same as those in other tourist places in the world of cultivation.
When they arrived at Shengjiu Hotel, they paid the spirit stones and She Zijiang took Shen Qingyi into Shengjiu Hotel.
Shengjiu Hotel is not big compared to those hotels in the world of immortal cultivation, and is even smaller than most hotels in Lingdao Sect's Immortal City.
But in the area of Liusha River, it is considered relatively large.
This is also the characteristic of some of the shops here. Their business model is almost all based on households and is individually run.
If there are helpers at home, they will come to help.
Of course, this is inseparable from the slow lifestyle of Liusha River.
When the shopkeeper saw the visitor, a smile immediately broke out on his face.
"My two fellow Taoists, do you need food or other services?"
There is a particularly large wooden sign in the lobby, which divides the lobby into two parts.
One piece is for meals, and the other piece is for other services.
Other services are also clearly written on the wooden sign.
This includes processing and selling fish and shrimp.
She Zijiang explained the purpose of his visit clearly, asked Shen Qingyi how many points it would cost, paid for the required fish, shrimp and spirit stones, and then the two found a seat.
The shopkeeper is quite skillful.
While waiting, they were also given the hotel's special tea and pastries.
A Rong and Miao Shun were also released.
Even though it has become smaller, it still takes up a seat.
"Master, won't you let Fei Tian out?"
Shen Qingyi's words made She Zijiang slightly stunned. After all, Feitian had never asked him for these foods before.
However, after looking at the two little ones sitting next to Shen Qingyi, whose faces were full of anticipation, She Zijiang also released Feitian.
