Hearing that Lu Chen also wanted to follow him down the mountain, Zhou Xiao felt helpless, but still agreed.
Anyway, I came down the mountain to do good deeds, not to do bad things, so there is nothing wrong with letting Lu Chen follow me.
Moreover, Lu Chen is quite powerful, and having him stay by his side can help protect himself.
"Wait for me, I'm going to change my clothes."
After saying that, Lu Chen ran back to the cave, changed out of his training clothes, and put on his own clothes.
After Lu Chen changed his clothes, the two of them left Chiyang Peak directly and planned to visit the city at the foot of the mountain.
Lin Hongye looked at the two people going down the mountain without stopping them, but muttered:
"Xiao Lu is quite strong now, so there shouldn't be any problem for him to go down the mountain, right? Forget it, never mind."
…
The two came to the city at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the bustling streets, Lu Chen's bored heart finally felt a little relaxed.
...
...
"Alas, I still have to go down the mountain to walk around. If I stay on the mountain to practice swordsmanship all the time, I will almost turn into a piece of wood. What do you think, Junior Brother?"
Seeing that Zhou Xiao did not respond to him, Lu Chen turned to look at him and found that Zhou Xiao was looking around curiously, as if he was looking for something.
"Junior brother?" Lu Chen called out again, and this time Zhou Xiao finally came back to his senses.
He looked at Zhou Xiao in confusion and asked, "Junior brother, what were you looking at just now?"
Zhou Xiao scratched his head embarrassedly and explained:
"I didn't see anything. I haven't seen the scene at the foot of the mountain for a long time, so I was a little curious for a moment."
In fact, Zhou Xiao was looking for any injustice happening nearby, intending to go up and help, so as to gain goodwill and improve his cultivation.
But after observing for a long time, he didn't find anything bad, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Hearing Zhou Xiao say this, Lu Chen suddenly remembered that Zhou Xiao was born a beggar and probably had never seen such a lively market, so he was just curious for a moment.
Lu Chen smiled knowingly, then hugged Zhou Xiao and said proudly:
"Don't worry, I'll pay for all your expenses today."
This is not Lu Chen exaggerating. He has been in the Great Wilderness Immortal Sect for a while and has accumulated a lot of salary.
Add to that the fifty high-quality spirit stones that Zhang Xianfeng gave them some time ago, and it would definitely be enough for the two of them to go on a spending spree.
Zhou Xiao smiled awkwardly and nodded.
Compared to other things, he wanted to act justly and gain goodwill when someone was causing trouble.
…
The two of them strolled around in the market. The market not only had items that mortals needed, but also items that cultivators needed.
After all, it is a city under the rule of the Great Wilderness Immortal Sect. Although most of the people there are mortals, there must be some immortal cultivators as well.
The two of them walked along the way and bought a lot of food, but they did not buy any elixirs or magical tools for cultivating immortals.
It’s not that the two of them couldn’t afford it, but they were now in Chiyang Peak and had no shortage of these things. It would be better to use the ones in the sect than to buy them.
While strolling along the way, Zhou Xiao also saw that the city guarded by the righteous sect was so prosperous.
In the city of the bloodthirsty Demon Sect, the people cannot be said to be starving, but they are definitely living in misery. After all, being in the Demon Sect, no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.
"So...is the righteous sect like this?" Zhou Xiao thought secretly in his heart. After all, he had always believed that the cities of the righteous sects were not much different from those of the evil sects.
But now, the difference is huge, which completely breaks Zhou Xiao's cognition.
At this moment, Lu Chen seemed to see something, and immediately smiled and said to Zhou Xiao beside him:
"Junior brother, they seem to be selling herbs or something there, let's go and take a look."
After saying that, he didn't care whether Zhou Xiaotong agreed or not, and just took Zhou Xiao over.
Lu Chen squatted in front of a stall and started to choose carefully. Zhou Xiao was not very interested, so he squatted aside and started to think about things.
At this moment, a lot of noise was heard in a stall not far away. Lu Chen turned his head curiously and muttered:
"Why is it so noisy over there? What happened?"
Zhou Xiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately said to Lu Chen excitedly: "Let's go, Senior Brother! Let's go over and take a look!"
After saying that, he pulled up Lu Chen who was still squatting on the ground and rushed directly towards the crowd not far away.
After squeezing into the crowd, Lu Chen gritted his teeth and cursed at the excited Zhou Xiao:
"You kid, I didn't see you so excited just now, but now you are more energetic? Do you like watching the show so much?"
Zhou Xiao didn't say anything, but squeezed directly into the crowd.
After a while, the two of them finally squeezed to the front of the crowd with their thin bodies.
Zhou Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, then looked over and finally saw what happened.
On a street stall, an old man was holding a long wooden box tightly with a stubborn look on his face.
Standing in front of him was a young monk. The monk clicked his tongue and said unhappily:
"Old man, I am willing to pay a low-grade spirit stone for your blood ginseng, which is already a very high price. Don't be so ungrateful!"
The old man was frightened by the sudden increase in the young monk's voice, but he still held the blood ginseng stubbornly and explained:
"This blood kidney of mine was passed down from my ancestors. It is at least several hundred years old."
"If my grandson wasn't seriously ill, I would never sell it. How could it be worth only this much?"
The young monk snorted and said disdainfully: "Is it because your blood ginseng has been stored for too long that all its medicinal properties have been lost? It has long been worthless."
"If I hadn't been so kind as to offer you a low-grade spirit stone for your blood ginseng, it wouldn't be worth a single spirit stone, let alone a penny."
But the old man shook his head stubbornly, "I don't believe it, you must be trying to deceive me."
"You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, I'll ask for you."
After that, he looked around and said, "Hey, are there any of you willing to pay a higher price for this old guy's spirit stones?"
"If you have any, please step forward. The highest bidder wins."
But those who were watching the show were all mortals. Who would dare to challenge the immortal cultivators for an old man? They all shook their heads.
Seeing the people around him shaking their heads, the young monk raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a smug smile.
Then he looked at the old man on the ground and said arrogantly:
"How is it? No one wants to buy it? Hurry up and sell the blood ginseng to me."
The old man couldn't believe her opening the wooden box, and then took out a blood ginseng that was half the thickness of his palm, and asked unwillingly:
"Look at the bloody quality of this old man. How could it be worth only a low-grade spirit stone?"
Lu Chen and Zhou Xiao both looked over and saw that the blood ginseng was of excellent quality and was at least a hundred years old.
