Entering Area 6
On the day Sun Rushuang passed away, she left without telling anyone, and she just left quietly.
Qian Luo didn't know either, and was also wondering how Sun Rushuang knew the information outside District 9 and how she got out... Maybe she had her own opportunity.
Six months later, at the beginning of spring, the cold weather was severe, the snow melted, and the winter jasmine on the Wendao Mountain bloomed beautifully, with clusters of yellow flowers on the branches, pretty and lovely.
A cry of shock erupted in the council hall!
"What! One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
Jiang Shuyu, who was always gentle, spoke loudly, looking at the innocent-looking girl in front of him, covering her head in pain: "We don't have that much money! You don't know how much it costs to manage the lower three districts. First of all, there's the monthly allowance for the monks, the ingredients for the cafeteria, and the Alchemy Pavilion. Do you know how many furnaces they blow up in a day? They're repairing them every day! And do you know how much the materials for the Formation Pavilion cost? And do you know how much Qingshu and Chizhao can eat?"
Qian Luo's ears hurt from the shock. "What? Are they both such big eaters? Isn't fasting the way foundation building is done? What are they eating? I'll cut off their food supply from now on. They've eaten me all up!"
Jiang Shuyu coughed a few times and said, "No, I just eat some meat occasionally."
"In short, in short, a lot of money was spent in the lower three districts. Not only on the monks, but also on the mortals!"
"The annual expenses are definitely a considerable expense. Currently, we can only make a little money through the spiritual stone trade between cultivators and mortals, that is, the Treasure Pavilion and the cafeteria."
"The school is free, and the monthly equipment maintenance, teacher salaries, student rewards...none of them cost money!"
"I know you must be thinking that we confiscated a lot of spirit stones from the district chief before, but I want to tell you that there are so many people in Daoshan and the academy, and the spirit stones they give them for free every month add up to hundreds of thousands of spirit stones!"
"Think about how many spirit stones are in the small treasury. Liu Xiaoqing and I have already collected taxes from everyone a while ago..."
"If we continue to subsidize people in this endless manner, the spirit stones in the small treasury will eventually run out, and then we won't even be able to pay salaries..."
After listening to Jiang Shuyu's calculations, Qianluo finally understood that without trade, they would just be living off their savings. She sighed heavily, "How much can I advance?"
Jiang Shuyu gritted his teeth: "At most ten thousand!"
Qianluo said with tears in her eyes: "That's fine!"
Qian Luo returned to the cave and packed up a bunch of junk. She kept all the weird things and put the rest into the treasury.
In order to use the Immortal Cultivation Simulator, she also wanted to save more points and recharge all the spirit stones and evil things!
【Congratulations to the host, recharge successful! 】
[This recharge is 20,000 points, a total of 20,000 points, and 66 simulations are left! ]
Great! I won’t have to worry about not having simulation opportunities anymore!
Now she's ready to go into town! Into District 6!
Qian Luo excitedly retrieved Chi Zhao, who was already in the middle stage of foundation building, from the Beast Garden and stuffed him into her storage bag. She also stuffed her consciousness beads into Liu Xiaoqing, Wang Wenzhu, and Liu Baozhu, and then set off westward!
…
District 6
Qianluo thought that once she entered Area 6, she would find herself in a wasteland. However, she did not expect that she would see a large hexagonal glazed pagoda in front of her. It was noble and magnificent, with priceless jade bells hanging on each of the six corners. Standing in the distance, it made a pleasant sound when the wind blew gently.
Under her feet were spiritual jade bricks, overflowing with spiritual energy and engraved with intricate runes. Qian Luo saw that a few foundation-building monks were pulled down by an inexplicable force and fell to the ground.
A staff member in a royal blue uniform said in a resounding voice, "No flying in Area 6! Foundation Establishment Seniors, please obey the rules!"
So this is where the runes come in.
She took a few steps and saw many monks taking pictures under the glazed pagoda not far away, holding a jade block that looked like a mobile phone.
No? Dreaming back to the Blue Planet, checking in with influencers and taking photos.
"I miss you so much in District 6", "The wind of missing you has blown all the way to District 6"... She remembered it all, the nightmare of traveling!
As soon as she appeared holding Chi Zhao, someone laughed and said, "Little girl, are you new here?"
She is now a rookie at the fifth level of Qi training. After changing her appearance, she holds Chi Zhao like a little monk holding a big cat. There is nothing surprising about it.
"Who are you?"
The man in front of me was wearing a pair of glasses, was gentle and had an ordinary appearance. He was holding a stack of flyers in his hand. There was a group of men and women around him, wearing the same clothes as him.
"My name is Huang Chen, I'm at the seventh level of Qi training. Our District Six has a thriving tourism industry, and many tourists from other places are reluctant to leave. No matter where you enter from, you will eventually appear at the main gate of our District Six Glazed Tower, so many tourists come here to take pictures."
Are you really taking photos? The communicators in the lower three zones can only make calls and send messages, not take photos or videos!
According to Huang Chen, no matter where she entered from, she would appear at the main gate of the Glazed Tower, which meant that no one knew which area she came from.
Qianluo didn't show it on her face: "Ah? Really?"
Huang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him. She had fair skin and did not look like a child from a poor family. She looked to be around 20 years old, at the fifth level of Qi training, and her cultivation was average, which meant that her family background was average.
However, being able to cross districts and counties and come to District 6 shows that the family is well-off and not that poor.
Huang Chen naturally mistook Qian Luo for a cultivator from one of the other three middle districts. He handed her a flyer with the words "Morning Light Travel Agency" on it and tried to sell her the service: "I'm an employee of the Morning Light Travel Agency. I'll take you on a tour of all six districts. We have personal escorts, special cars, and group tours!"
"If you don't want to travel, feel free to tell me if there's anything else you don't understand. I'll also tell you travel tips and interesting things about District 6."
Qian Luo nodded. It turned out to be a travel agency. She looked at the price in front of her: "24-hour travel card, 100 low-grade spirit stones?"
Huang Chen looked at her expression and whispered, "Little girl, our prices here are already very cheap. I see you're new here, so you can get a 5% discount if you register as a member of Morning Light Travel Agency. It only costs 95 low-grade spirit stones. How about that?"
After saying that, he pointed to the QR code at the bottom of the flyer.
Qianluo:... Grandma, I really went into the city, and this time I have to scan the code.
What a big city!
It would be great if we could take over District 6, the tourism industry is so developed!
Qian Luo swallowed her saliva, held Chi Zhao and weighed him, still hesitating. After all, she still had to inquire about the Lan family. It sounded like 95 low-grade spirit stones were indeed cheaper than 300 spirit stones for one simulation!
"Little girl, we are a formal company, don't be afraid!" Huang Chen saw that she was hesitant, which meant that she was still very tempted. This was his first order since he started working, and he couldn't let it go!
Moreover, the girl in front of him looked very easy to talk to, with little experience and low cultivation level! Unlike the cultivators who came from the middle and upper three districts before, all of them were arrogant and had high cultivation levels!
I don’t know if they started taking elixirs since they were young. Some of them are only 20 years old, but they have already reached the foundation of cultivation!
He's almost 30, still a social animal, and has only reached the 7th level of Qi training. Not to mention that there are many employed people now, but even more unemployed people. Before finding this job, he had already changed 20 jobs!
If you don’t place an order, you will be fired!
He gritted his teeth and said, "How about this, I'll give you a discount. Only 90 low-grade spirit stones!"
"And the 24 hours starts from the time you purchase, which means I'll be there at this time tomorrow!"
Qianluo was moved, then she took out her storage bag and found out...all the spirit stones had been used to recharge the simulator!
Huang Chen's eyes lit up as he watched her take out her storage bag. Then, noticing the girl's awkward expression, his heart plummeted. "No way? No way? This little girl forgot to bring her spirit stones!"
"Haha, I'm sorry. I really forgot to bring my spirit stones. Can you tell me if there's any store nearby that sells pills? I... I brought some pills to sell."
The girl didn't look like she was trying to deceive him. Huang Chen gritted his teeth. He probably didn't have much business here anyway. He was new here, and his colleagues around him had a higher order acceptance rate than him. So he decided to go along with the girl. He was familiar with the place anyway, so she wouldn't try to deceive him.
He pointed to the front and turned right: "Then you've found the right person. There's a Treasure Pavilion right in front. They do both business and business. I'll take you there!"
Huang Chen was afraid that the little girl would run away, so he followed her all the way. Qian Luo followed him and turned right into the third shop, which was magnificent and three stories high!
"Wow, it's so big!" Qian Luo couldn't help but exclaim. After staying in the lower three districts for a long time, she rarely saw such magnificent decoration. It was even bigger than the Treasure Pavilion she had seen before!
"That little girl..." Huang Chen pointed at the security guards near the Treasure Pavilion. "They're very aggressive and won't let anyone else in uniform in. You'd better go in on your own!"
Qian Luo looked at the two security guards, both of whom were at the tenth level of Qi training. They were particularly tall and had serious expressions. They stood at attention at the door, afraid that someone would buy something for free.
Huang Chen saw that the little girl didn't look wealthy, so he gave her a friendly reminder: "The Treasure Pavilion only accepts elixirs of the third grade and above."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Thank you. I'll find you when I get out!"
District Six is a big city, and ordinary second-grade elixirs must be everywhere on the streets, so only elixirs of the third grade and above are eligible for purchase!
…
Treasure Pavilion
Qianluo carried the lazy Chi Zhao inside. Chi Zhao sent a telepathic message: "When you just came in, the security guard rolled his eyes at you. He probably thought you didn't have any money."
Qianluo: ...You look down on me! She's a woman with 2 Ws!
As soon as I entered the Jubao Pavilion, I found that there were indeed a lot of people here. The door to the third floor was closed. There were foundation-building monks on the second floor, and Qi-training monks on the first floor. Many staff members wearing Jubao Pavilion clothes were trying their best to sell their products.
"Beautiful lady, we have just released a beauty pill that will definitely suit you!"
"Handsome guy, our magic weapon is very famous. Although it is only an intermediate magic weapon, it is only worth 200 spirit stones. You can top up our membership card. After the fight, it only costs 188 spirit stones. How about it?"
"Beautiful lady, our family's formation is famous for its quality. We have no other branches. As long as you buy it here, you can exchange it for a new one free of charge within 24 hours!"
…
The jeweled ceiling, the jade tiles that reflected one's reflection, the spiral staircase, and the display windows filled with all sorts of magical instruments, elixirs, talismans, formations, spirit beasts, and demonic beasts...
"Hello, I'm a salesperson from Jubao Pavilion. You can call me Liuli. What can I do for you?" A female salesperson wearing a golden chest-length skirt approached with a smile. "Are you a tourist from out of town?"
Qian Luo looked at herself wearing long sleeves and long pants, then looked at the ancient costumes worn by the monks in the store, and the yellow ancient costume that Huang Chen had just worn. Ah... she thought it was a work requirement.
I didn’t expect that retro style would be popular in District 6, and Hanfu is on the rise!
"Yes, I'd like to ask how much the third-grade rejuvenation pill costs here?"
Liuli smiled slightly and took her to the window full of pills. Many people had gathered here, and many of them were vying for the third-grade cleansing spirit pill.
The pretty girl was furious: "Wei Chao! What are you doing? I was here first! This Soul Cleansing Pill is mine!"
The man sneered, "Shui Qingyan, this is the last Soul Cleansing Pill. I finally got it with great difficulty! Do you think I will give it to you?"
Shui Qingyan raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms: "Wei Chao, don't you always say that your family is rich and powerful? How come you have to rob people for a cleansing pill?"
Wei Chao rolled his eyes: "Mind your own business! You Shui family, please stand on your side, or your entire clan will be wiped out by accident!"
"You!!!" Shui Qingyan was furious. She pointed at his nose and then thought of something. "You guys are hoarding the spiritual mines for your family and you boast about your wealth, but I think you're nothing special! Maybe you've offended the Jiang family recently, so you don't have any pills!"
"I'll give you this Soul Cleansing Pill. Even if I can't snatch it away, I can always ask Sister Jiang for it. Your family doesn't have that blessing!"
Qian Luo watched from the side as Wei Chao's face flushed red with rage upon hearing the word "Jiang Family." He even refused to take the Spirit Cleansing Pill and slammed the table before walking away. She then heard Shui Qingyan say, "The Wei and Jiang families fought so fiercely, but in the end, didn't they still need the Jiang family's pills?"
From what I hear, in District 6, the Wei family is in charge of forests and mines, and the Jiang family is in charge of elixirs. Could this be a struggle between the aristocratic families?
Shui Qingyan glanced at the little girl watching the fun next to her, then turned to Liuli and said, "Here, 20 medium-grade spirit stones!"
I saw her holding a mobile phone that looked like a jade slip, and she touched it lightly against the machine, and the payment was successful!
Qianluo was shocked to see that the world of immortal cultivation also uses NFC! That's not right! This is originally a parallel world of Blue Star, just with an additional immortal cultivator.
Oh, I forgot, she doesn’t have a mobile phone now, I’ll buy her one later.
Shui Qingyuan originally thought that the girl next to her was just an ordinary little girl watching the fun, but after looking at her whole body, she found that she was from another place. She was surprised that she was actually using a phone, and she immediately felt sympathy in her heart: "Little sister, how pitiful."
"Liuli, whatever this little sister buys will be charged to my account!"
Is this meeting a good person?
Qianluo coughed a few times and waved her hand: "No need..."
"Don't be polite with me. I defeated that stinky man today and got the Soul Cleansing Pill. I'm in a great mood! Your little sister must be from the countryside. She doesn't even know about the spiritual network and mobile phones. I'm just helping you!"
She whispered into Qianluo's ear, "Let me tell you, the prices here are not cheap! 20 mid-grade spirit stones are equivalent to 2,000 low-grade spirit stones! I don't even have enough pocket money for a day!"
It turns out that 2,000 low-grade spirit stones are just her daily pocket money. What a powerful rich woman!
Qianluo whispered: "Why is it so expensive?"
Shui Qingyan felt sorry for her and said a few more words: "Because the Jiang family has a monopoly on elixirs, 90% of the alchemists in District 6 are from them! They even have a fifth-grade alchemist in charge! District 5 Chief Jiang Baiwei might even become a sixth-grade alchemist in the future!"
Qian Luo was genuinely covering her mouth in surprise this time: "How impressive! There are probably less than a thousand fifth- and sixth-grade alchemists in the entire nine districts combined!"
She thought that being a fourth-grade alchemist in the lower three districts was already amazing, but she didn't expect that she was just a frog in the well. There is always someone better than you!
"More than that! Sixth- and seventh-grade alchemists are in great demand! It's so easy for them to make money as alchemists. Spiritual stones are pouring into their storage bags!"
Shui Qingyan took a sip of the spiritual tea: "Alright, alright, what are you buying?"
"If you don't tell me, I'm leaving!"
Qian Luo took out a bottle of third-grade rejuvenation pills and said shyly, "Excuse me, I'm actually here to sell pills today. I just wanted to ask how many spirit stones three bottles of rejuvenation pills can be sold for?"
"Puff——" Shui Qingyan spat out a mouthful of water.
After talking about feelings for so long, the person in front of me turned out to be an alchemist?
"Did you make this pill?"
Qian Luo thought about it. District Six and the Lower Three Districts were different. The Lower Three Districts simply oppressed monks and civilians, but here was the same as Blue Star. People here had no power and could only be ordinary people. They needed to have a skill. By showing their identity as alchemists, they could quickly win over some people.
The Shui Qingyan in front of you is it.
"Yes, I'm a third-rank alchemist. I used to live in the countryside with my mother-in-law. I wasn't very familiar with the rules of the city. After my mother-in-law passed away, I left my hometown..."
Shui Qingyan choked. In fact, the city center of District 6 was very prosperous, but there were also countrysides. She could understand that life was not easy for mortals and cultivators in the countryside.
Liuli smiled: "Madam, your 10 third-grade rejuvenation pills cost a total of 500 low-grade spirit stones."
Shui Qingyan frowned: "Why is it so little?" The little girl looked malnourished, so she had to raise the price to help the little girl!
Liuli said apologetically, "Ma'am, although it is a third-grade rejuvenation pill, the rejuvenation pill is a basic pill made from ordinary spiritual plants, so it is not as expensive as the third-grade cleansing pill."
Qianluo also knew that the third-grade rejuvenation pill was worthless, but she was afraid of showing off her wealth! She was just a poor little girl from the countryside, and she had to maintain her image.
"Thank you sister for speaking for me. My name is Wen Siyu." Qian Luo looked at Shui Qingyan with a touched expression.
"Sister Liuli, I want to buy a Lingwang phone."
Qianluo saw the glowing Lingwang phone in front of her, and Liuli introduced it one by one: "This Lingwang phone costs 3,000 low-grade Lingshi, and it meets basic needs, such as taking photos, checking in, and sending messages and making calls."
"This Lingwang phone costs 6,600 low-grade spirit stones. It's made of hard material and doesn't deform easily. It's inlaid with six spirit stones and automatically recharges."
"This Lingwang phone is the most expensive and the hottest seller. It costs 18,800 low-grade spirit stones. It's cyan in color and made with century-old jade from Fuyu Mountain. It can withstand a blow from a Jindan cultivator! Its biggest feature is that it's compatible with the three central districts and automatically recharges spirit energy!"
Shui Qingyan touched her cell phone. She got this phone at a discount through her membership card, but it cost more than 10,000 low-grade spirit stones at the time. It was so precious!
"Sister Siyu, just buy the cheapest cell phone!"
Qianluo's eyes were already glued to the next mobile phone. She had to hold it in, hold it in, and not expose herself!
"Sister Liuli, how do I charge this phone?"
Liuli, wearing special gloves, took out a mobile phone from the display window and showed it to her: "It only takes one low-grade spirit stone to fully charge it."
"Oh..." Qianluo took out ten bottles of third-grade rejuvenation pills, "Give me 2,000 low-grade spirit stones, thank you!"
Shui Qingyan watched her pay for the phone neatly and even wanted to use her membership card to give her a discount, but she didn't expect that she didn't care about the discount at all.
"This phone has been activated, and 2,000 low-grade spirit stones have been added to your spirit network account. Is there anything else you need?"
Qianluo glanced at the robes next to her. They were all various kinds of Hanfu, priced between 1,000 and 10,000, which were quite expensive.
Next time she simulates, buy it for free!
