Rong Jiaojiao asked the female cultivator, "If I buy two seeds and some other seeds, can you lower the price?"
Seeing that she really wanted to buy, the female cultivator said, "Each Golden Marrow Lotus Seed is one spirit stone less. As for the rest, is there anything else you want?"
Rong Jiaojiao couldn't help but think of the spiritual herbs that Du Qingshuang wanted, which were not available in the sect, and asked her if she had them.
The female cultivator smiled and shook her head: "We don't sell these medicinal herb seeds to outsiders."
"Alright, then I'll take two Golden Marrow Lotus seeds."
The female cultivator then took out a spirit-sealing jade box, opened it, and let Rong Jiaojiao choose seeds.
Rong Jiaojiao carefully sensed the seeds, selected two of the plumpest ones, paid with spirit stones, and turned to find Du Qingshuang.
At this moment, Du Qingshuang had already selected the spiritual herbs she wanted and was preparing to attach them with spirit stones. Rong Jiaojiao saw that the spiritual herbs she bought all had roots attached in order to ensure their medicinal properties, and she suddenly thought of buying some back and planting them in the small secret realm, hoping they might come back to life.
Without hesitation, he went to the herb seller and bought two of each of Du Qingshuang's varieties.
Besides Jade Lotus and Golden Silk Grass, there are also Gentle Breeze Vine and Blood Grass.
Leng Tianqi could roughly guess her thoughts since she had just asked about the seeds, but he still thought she was being wasteful. If the seeds could be grown, their sect would have had them long ago, so why would they need to come and buy them?
He tried to stop her, saying, "Junior Uncle, you'd better not buy it. Junior Sister Qing Shuang is buying it to refine medicine, but you don't refine medicine, so why would you buy it?"
Rong Jiaojiao said with a smile, "I'll buy some to make medicine too."
Leng Tianqi was speechless. He knew she was lying, but he couldn't say anything to her in front of everyone. He thought he should talk to her more about how rare spirit stones were when he got back, otherwise she would squander all of his grandmaster's money.
After she finished shopping, Leng Tianyou asked, "Would you like to go upstairs and take a look?"
Rong Jiaojiao shook her head: "I don't have any pills I want to buy."
The others shook their heads as well, saying that the sect had all the pills that junior disciples needed, so there was no need to spend more expensive spirit stones to buy them from outside.
"Let's go then, let's go have some fun in the Reclusive Cultivator Street."
Upon hearing about the Loose Cultivator Street, Du Qingshuang immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Great! I've never been to the Loose Cultivator Street before, I've been wanting to go for a long time."
As they left the Pill Pavilion, Rong Jiaojiao asked, "Senior Sister Qingshuang, what's on the Loose Cultivator Street? Why do you want to go there so much?"
Rong Jiaojiao always thought that independent cultivators lived in the mortal world, while the immortal mountains were inhabited by people from various sects.
Du Qingshuang said with a smile, "The Loose Cultivator Street is a place specially set up by the Xuan Cultivation Alliance for loose cultivators. Although loose cultivators do not have the protection of sects, they also have their own resources and channels. There are many strange and unusual things there, and sometimes you can even find some treasures that sects do not have."
Rong Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "That sounds interesting, I want to go and see it too."
Leng Tianyou nodded and said, "The Street of Loose Cultivators is indeed very interesting. We can go and take a look."
Everyone nodded and followed Leng Tianyou toward the direction of the Loose Cultivator Street.
Sanxiu Street is located at the southernmost end of the market. It is a long street lined with all kinds of stalls, making it very lively.
"Wow, it's so lively here!" Du Qingshuang exclaimed, her eyes scanning the stalls, searching for something that interested her.
“Yes, there are many stalls on the loose cultivator street, and the goods are very diverse, but you might be able to find some good stuff,” Leng Tianyou said.
Hu Buwei also said, "Junior sister, see if there's anything you want, and I'll buy it for you?"
Du Qingshuang shook her head: "No need, senior brother, I brought spirit stones."
Although she called Hu Buwei her senior brother, he was actually her senior uncle's disciple, and there was a distance between them, so she couldn't possibly ask him to buy her anything.
They strolled along the monastery, stopping every now and then to look at the items on the various stalls.
The items here are incredibly diverse, including elixirs, magical artifacts, talismans, and even some strange and unusual trinkets.
"What is this?" Rong Jiaojiao asked, pointing to a small wooden box on a stall.
The stall owner was a somewhat mysterious old man. He smiled and said, "This is a Spirit Rhinoceros Wood Box. Inside is a Spirit Rhinoceros Pearl, which can be used to sense fluctuations in spiritual energy."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded, finding it interesting, but she felt she wouldn't need it. After all, her own little secret realm would remind her of any good things.
They continued strolling through the unaffiliated market, occasionally buying useful items. Leng Tianyou patiently answered their questions and shared his experiences.
Rong Jiaojiao said, "There are so many things here."
Leng Tianyou nodded and said, "Yes, there are indeed many things on the Loose Cultivator Street, but the quality varies greatly, so everyone should be careful when choosing."
Du Qingshuang added, "Yes, there are many things here, but not all of them are good. However, sometimes you can find some rare treasures."
At this moment, Hu Buwei squatted in front of a stall selling magical artifacts, picked up an antique-looking bronze sword, and asked, "How much is this sword?"
The stall owner was an old man with a wrinkled face. He squinted and said, "This sword is an ancient relic called the 'Mysterious Iron Sword.' Although it is ancient, the blade is still incredibly sharp. Two hundred spirit stones."
Hu Buwei smiled and said, "Ancient relics? Ancient relics only sell for two hundred, they should sell for two thousand."
The old man's expression changed, and he said, "Young friend, don't underestimate this sword. It was passed down from my ancestors and is definitely not an ordinary magic weapon."
Hu Buwei shook his head and said, "I'm not so easily fooled. This sword is just an old magic weapon, worth at most fifteen spirit stones. If you're willing, I'll buy it."
The old man hesitated for a moment, but seeing Hu Buwei's resolute attitude, he finally nodded in agreement: "Alright, fifteen spirit stones it is, I'll sell it to you."
Hu Buwei paid the spirit stones, picked up the sword, and said, "This sword looks pretty good; it might come in handy."
Rong Jiaojiao hadn't expected that bargaining here would be done this way, and she couldn't help but feel that she had gained some experience.
Leng Tianyou walked over, glanced at the sword in Hu Buwei's hand, and said, "This sword is indeed quite old, but the quality is still acceptable. It's fine for use within the mage realm. Fifteen spirit stones won't be a loss."
Hu Buwei smiled and said, "I know this sword isn't anything special, but I think its design is simple and elegant, and it feels quite nice to hold."
Leng Tianyou nodded and said, "If you like it, that's fine. As long as you like it and it's easy for you to use, that's all that matters."
At this moment, Du Qingshuang stopped in front of a jade carving stall. She saw a small statue carved from spirit jade and found it very interesting.
The statue is a lifelike little fox with lively eyes, as if it might come to life at any moment.
"How much is this little fox statue?" Du Qingshuang asked.
The stall owner was a young female cultivator. She smiled and said, "This is carved from the finest spirit jade. It costs one hundred spirit pearls."
