"Who?"

Suddenly, a wall of light flashing blue appeared in front of Lu Ping, blocking his way. Then two guards in blue clothes appeared behind the wall of light.

"My name is Lu Ping, and I am here to..."

"We don't care who you are. What are you doing here? If you want to go in, you need to pay a low-grade spirit stone."

Qing Xiu, who was standing by, heard the man's impolite words but was not angry. He calmly took out a jade talisman from his bosom and handed it over.

The guard was a little surprised to see that the jade talisman was actually issued to foundation-building cultivators, but he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the two people did not seem to be foundation-building cultivators.

One of them said, "This is a jade talisman obtained by the foundation-building cultivators. They can enter for free, but there are two of you, so you need to..."

The guard at the side quickly pulled the person who was speaking and said, "We see that this fellow Taoist is here for the first time, so we will waive the charge this time. Next time, you must follow the rules completely."

After that, he handed the jade talisman back to Qing Xiu and said, "Every time you come here in the future, you still need to do a routine inspection. This is the rule here. Please forgive me."

"Thank you two fellow Taoists!"

Lu Ping was also carried by everyone in a fancy sedan chair, after all, he would have to come here often in the future.

Qing Xiu ignored them and spoke to Lu Ping.

"Well, follow me!"

Seeing Lu Pingqing walking away, the guard who just spoke asked the person next to him,

"Why did you stop me from charging?"

"You are stupid. The person who handed over the jade token is Master Qing Xiu. He brought people here and you asked him for money."

"Ah, thanks to you, otherwise I would have offended him." The guard suddenly realized. Instantly, the guard felt something was wrong again, "Didn't they say he was useless? Why are you still afraid of him?"

The guards beside him thought he was really stupid.

"Didn't you see that young man's cultivation level was so high that you couldn't even see through it? He must be in the late stage of Qi training. At his age, he must be in the late stage of Qi training. There's nothing wrong with giving him a free ticket."

"As for whether Qingxiu is ruined or not, it's hard to say. If it's not ruined, it won't be over soon."

"Besides, has he offended you?"

"No!"

"Then how about you give me a hand?"

"Isn't that the truth?"

After hearing this, the guard nodded and agreed that this made sense.

"Hey, why do you think that person who has been practicing for many years still looks like a young man?"

"Who knows? Maybe the method of cultivation is strange?"

"Too."

On the other side, Lu Ping and Qing Xiu were traveling together.

Lu Ping asked, "Master, why do you have the foundation-building token?"

"Remember what I said, the status of an alchemist is comparable to that of a foundation-builder? This is the manifestation of it."

"After I was able to refine elixirs, the market manager gave me a jade talisman that allowed me to enter and exit the inner and outer markets at will."

"The spiritual stones saved over the years are also a considerable income."

"profound."

"But why did you let me in?"

Qing Xiu was also a little confused and shook his head. "I don't know about that. Now that I'm useless, it shouldn't be a gift to me. But this has nothing to do with us."

The two walked all the way to a huge cylindrical shop with the word "Tai" written on it.

After entering, Lu Ping saw an old man, but unfortunately he could not tell the other party's strength. The lesson of Danta's division before made Lu Ping dare not use his spiritual eyes to easily spy on the cultivator whose strength he did not know.

Qing Xiu saw the old man and bowed, "Hello, Senior Wen!"

"Oh, why did Brother Qingxiu come to this market management place?" The old man got to the point.

"I want to transfer my shop to the person next to me."

"Who is this?" The old man asked who the person next to Qingxiu was.

Qing Xiu replied, "This is my disciple. I will pass it on to him later. He is also a member of the Lu family."

"Lu family, that Lu family?"

The old man suddenly thought of something and looked at Lu Ping in surprise. "Lu Family of Chongming Island?"

"That's right." Lu Ping replied.

"Haha, Lu Xuanyuan, the master of Jingtao Sword, is very famous." The old man knew Lu Ping's elder Lu Xuanyuan, so his tone was much friendlier.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

After a brief exchange of greetings, the old man finally got down to business.

"According to the rules, it takes ten spirit stones to change the information. Ten spirit stones are required to pay the ten-year residence fee at one time, for a total of twenty spirit stones."

Lu Ping felt that the fee was too high. You know, a late Qi training disciple could only earn 20 to 30 spirit stones a year through various jobs! Adding in the daily cultivation expenses and expenses, the spirit stones that could actually be saved would probably be very few.

Therefore, the entrance fee of Neifang City and the other party's charges are definitely very unscrupulous.

"Then let's change it." Qingxiu didn't care.

"Haha, since Qingxiu is so straightforward, I will do it for you immediately!" The old man hurriedly changed the information.

"Okay, the information has been changed. Here is the voucher, remember to keep it safe."

Then he handed the certificate to Lu Ping.

Qing Xiu quickly took out twenty low-grade spirit stones from his pocket and handed them to the old man without saying a word.

Only then did the old man put away the spirit stone with satisfaction.

After finishing their work, Lu Ping and Qing Xiu left the management office.

"Lu Ping, don't you want to go shopping?"

"No, I don't have any spirit stones, so I'll just stare blankly if I go. I'll go when I have money later."

"But Master, the transaction price of a shop is so high, how do mortals trade?" Lu Ping couldn't understand this.

"Haha, I didn't understand it at first, but I figured it out after living here for a long time."

"Mortals and monks live together on Taihang Island. The Taihang Immortal takes care of the mortals. All events involving mortals are the settlement of mortal wealth."

"As for this voucher, you can enter Neifang City for free with this voucher."

"And this certificate can be used to recruit some guards and solve some petty thefts, like the case with the Dafeng Pharmacy."

"The price is just one spirit stone per year for the right to live there, which is considered a steady stream of income for the market."

“It’s also a means of promotion.”

Lu Ping suddenly realized that he should set the price high first, and then offer a discount, so that the sales volume would not be bad. And ordinary people don't go to the market, so they naturally don't need this residence certificate.

Qing Xiu said again, "Hehe, don't think that mortals seem to have taken advantage, but mortals who leave Taihang Island must pay spirit stones. Minglang paid ten spirit stones."

"Moreover, when a conflict arises between a monk and a mortal, the mortal will suffer regardless of whether he is right or wrong."

"Although monks are prohibited from harassing mortals here on the surface, in fact, there are too many cases of bullying of mortals in secret. Not every monk is like you and me, so how can the guards really punish those monks? If you are not careful, the mortals who have made enemies with the monks will disappear without a trace. This is a common thing."

"Besides, this place has a lot of water veins and is connected in all directions. Some Qigong cultivators can just flee. The guards won't really start a war for mortals."

Lu Ping understood the sufferings of mortals.
