The deal with Baibao Pavilion was not concluded so quickly, but after that, whenever they arrived at a new location, the local Baibao Pavilion branch would bring dozens of low-grade spirit stones to the treatment station, and use the guide stones placed in the hall to make these spirit stones into guide stones in the direction of the treatment station.
After more than a month of traveling from Tongshan Market, and passing through fifteen small markets along the way, we finally arrived at the gathering place of independent cultivators - Shanhai City.
There's a reason why Shanhai City has become a gathering place for independent cultivators. It's located adjacent to a large secret realm that opens every ten years, inviting disciples from all the sects, large and small, throughout the Qingling Realm.
Shanhai City faces the Infinite Sea, which is home to many spiritual creatures and is rich in a kind of crystal clear sea pearls.
Just wearing it has a soothing effect. Almost every cultivator who has come to Shanhai City has one.
Across the Infinite Sea lay the territories of demonic cultivators and demonic cultivators, respectively. Three separate continents, yet those with a high enough cultivation level could freely travel between them.
Shanhai City was unlike other places; it was a mixed crowd. Besides human cultivators, one could occasionally spot demon cultivators. In this place, human and demon cultivators formed a strange balance, and generally, no one interfered with the other.
The main reason is because of the city lord here - Yue Hanshan.
As the Lord of Shanhai City, a city capable of controlling the intersection of three continents, Yue Hanshan possesses an extremely high level of cultivation, having achieved the state of fusion sixty years ago. The next level is transcending the tribulation.
She was originally a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, but she deserted midway through. She somehow developed a new technique, allowing her to control various insects and cast spells, making her impossible to defend against. Despite her immense beauty, no one dared to covet her. There's a saying in the Qingling Realm: It's better to provoke a demonic cultivator than Yue Hanshan.
Yue Hanshan was on good terms with the demon race, so the Shanhai City under her name became the only place where the demon race and the human race could communicate properly.
Regardless of whether it was their duty time or not, the three employees did not rest, but instead looked out through the window of the Three Thousand Worlds.
"See? There seems to be a building over there."
"let me see."
"How can I see it from so far away?"
"Take another close look!"
Ever since the Three Thousand Worlds began to approach Shanhai City, Eryi noticed a gradual increase in his mana regeneration rate, as displayed on his profile. While in Nangong Zhenren's cave, it was 1.8 mana points per minute. In Zhaojia Village, it was 1.5 mana points per minute, and in the various towns and villages, it was 1.9 mana points per minute. Occasionally, when flying near certain sects, his mana regeneration rate would briefly exceed 2.
Since approaching the Shanhai City area, the magic recovery speed has never been less than 2 magic points/minute.
Knowing that they were getting closer to Shanhai City, Yu Anran rarely used the time he spent following Eryi to enter a state of meditation.
Shanhai City was different from other small towns. Its area alone was several times larger than the fifteen small towns Eryi had visited combined.
There is a large area inside, which is a cave house specially rented out to various independent cultivators to live in. The asking price is determined by the local spiritual energy. The cave house with the highest asking price is said to have a spiritual energy concentration comparable to that of a first-class sect.
Shanhai City has a no-fly zone order, and only those at the Nascent Soul stage or above can fly in the sky of Shanhai City.
As for special flying props like shuttles, there is a dedicated parking area in the market, and you need to register in advance to enter. That place is very remote and generally no one goes there, so the cargo shuttle of the Treasure Pavilion is parked there.
Eryi's Three Thousand Worlds had not been registered, so he had to go through the main gate. Therefore, he parted ways with the Treasure Pavilion as soon as he arrived in Shanhai City.
Eryi put away the Three Thousand Worlds and obediently led several employees to line up to register and enter. It was difficult for her to imitate other markets and place the Three Thousand Worlds outside the market gate.
This is because the gate of Shanhai City faces the Infinite Sea.
It is said that Shanhai City itself is a large outlying island. Yue Hanshan took a fancy to the terrain of this outlying island and forcibly moved the entire island to the land, forming its current appearance.
Therefore, if you don’t know how to fly, you can only let others bring it in.
"Which sect?" asked the monk guarding the gate of Shanhai City.
"I'm a casual cultivator." Er Yi followed Yu Anran's instructions and replied, "I'm here to do business."
The gatekeeper monk raised his eyelids and looked at her: "Healing station, medical monk?"
"Yes." These four words were hung outside the Three Thousand Worlds. Everyone saw them when they just landed outside the gate of Shanhai City.
"First time here?"
"yes."
"Go straight to the end and register in the tallest red house." The gatekeeper turned his attention to the next person. Seeing that the employees following Eryi were Qi-refining cultivators, his tone became even more negative.
The streets of Shanhai City were wider than those of the other towns. Paved with blue bricks, each building was at least three stories high, neatly arranged on both sides of the street.
As soon as he came in, Eryi had a preliminary understanding of the things here - expensive.
The Qingling grass that costs only 1 spirit bead elsewhere now costs 2 spirit beads here, and the prices of various low-level elixirs have also increased.
But this is not the case with some high-level elixirs. The price of Foundation Establishment Pills is the same as elsewhere, and there is no shortage of supply, as there is plenty of supply.
After strolling around Shanhai City, Eryi followed the gatekeeper's instructions and arrived at the tallest red house. This was actually a place dedicated to renting and selling land and shops. Without shops, there was no buying or selling, a similarity to other markets, yet a difference.
The reason why Shanhai City is not called Fangshi is that it has its own differences.
The market is usually open for 4-5 hours a day and closes after that time. Most shops are empty after closing time.
As a mountain and sea city built on the edge of the infinite sea, the risks encountered at night are only greater than those of ordinary markets, and at night they must close their doors and activate the defense formation.
But because the area is large enough and there is a corresponding living area for monks, shops can still operate as usual even if the doors are closed.
"Are you looking to rent a shop?"
Eryi looked at the shop rental price and began to calculate the cost silently.
Shanhai City is a great place. Across the Infinite Sea lies the territory of demonic beasts and demonic cultivators, home to rare treasures unseen in the human world of cultivation. Any cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage or above could venture there to explore.
And whether these people are before setting off or after returning, they will definitely pass by Shanhai City for supplies.
However, how many human cultivators who returned from the territory of the demon cultivators were not injured?
This was her chance.
Because of this, Eryi was even willing to temporarily give up the idea of traveling around the Qingling Realm.
"I want to rent a small shop." Er Yi said, "A small shop next to the big Chamber of Commerce."
Shanhai City has a no-fly zone, but it doesn't apply to high-ranking cultivators. Opening a rocket in a corner won't work, and opening it at the city gates won't necessarily get a close look. It's better to open it directly where they'd first go when they need supplies.
"Sorry, no."
There are so many merchants who have this idea. It is not possible to rent a shop like this just because you want to.
In a teahouse.
"The healing station has come to Shanhai City?" A blue-robed monk asked curiously, "Is it still the same as before, right at the city gate? I'll go take a look."
The person who replied shook his head: "This time it wasn't opened outside the city gate. Before entering the city, the medical cultivator put away the flying magic tool, and now its whereabouts are unknown."
The blue-robed monk sipped his tea with a hint of disappointment: "What a pity..."
Unbeknownst to Eryi, the treatment station had already gained a small reputation. Of course, this was within her expectations.
"Three Thousand Worlds" followed the shuttle of the Treasure Pavilion passing through fifteen small markets. Every time it arrived at a market, it would stop outside the market for half a day or a day, leaving a deep impression on people.
Originally, there were only a few types of large flying magic tools. The "Three Thousand Worlds" one was of a special shape, with four large characters "Healing Station" hung on it. The monks had good eyesight, so they could see it as long as they passed by.
Furthermore, her stay was short, and the things she was selling weren't available elsewhere. She left before anyone else could ascertain the truth. The less one knows, the more curious one becomes. Many monks secretly sought information about this strange tower.
However, the most famous treatment station is still in the area around Tongshanfang City.
The reason was her rental savings devices.
It had nothing to do with the skills contained within; the reason was that the storage device she rented out disappeared upon expiration. The monks who had originally thought that the storage device would remain with Eryi as soon as she left were completely bewildered.
