Chapter 27 Storage Bag
In the market of Xuantian Sect, Leng Youran was walking alone on the busy street. Outside the market, Leng Qianmo dropped him off as they had discussed. On the way, he told her about the layout of the market and the things to pay attention to in the market. Before leaving, he gave him a storage bag filled with materials from monsters, including monster skins and monster blood. He only thought of this when he saw his younger sister buying monster skins in the talisman shop. As a talisman maker, his younger sister must need these things.
Leng Youran walked around the market town and found the Mission Hall on the middle street to rent a temporary cave. There were still four months before the mountain gate was opened to accept disciples. When he arrived at the Mission Hall, he saw that it was very bustling with people coming and going. The Mission Halls here are separate. There are two shops in the Mission Hall, one is a counter for renting caves, and the other is a counter for issuing tasks. Although there are only two shops, there are space formations in them. Leng Youran walked into the shop for renting caves. Behind the counter was a cultivator in the late Qi training stage, and the deacon was a middle-aged male cultivator who looked to be in his forties. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and regular features and looked very gentle.
He quickly walked to the counter, bowed to the deacon sitting behind the counter, and politely asked, "Daoyou, I would like to rent a cave. Do you have any vacant cave for rent?" It's no wonder he asked this, because it was the day when Xuantian Sect opened its doors to accept disciples once every ten years, and many cultivators would arrive here in advance to wait. At this time, temporary caves were in short supply.
The deacon saw him and knew in his heart that it was another young cultivator who came to participate in the sect's disciple recruitment. "Little Daoist friend, you came at the right time. There is just one last cave, but it is in the green area and it costs thirty low-grade spirit stones a month. Daoist friend, you must book it." Leng Youran nodded immediately after hearing this. She might regret it now because the middle-aged deacon had completed the rental procedures for her. Just as she took the jade token handed over by the deacon, she heard a hoarse voice behind her, "Daoist friend, do you still have a cave to rent?" Leng Youran turned around and saw two men and one woman standing in front of the counter. The one who spoke was The middle-aged male cultivator who was leading the group, the deacon smiled embarrassedly when he saw the three people and said, "The last one has been rented out by this young Taoist friend. The only ones left are the caves in the golden area, and there are only a dozen or so. Would you like to rent one?" The three people discussed it and agreed to rent one. They took the jade token from the deacon and turned to walk out of the shop. When they left, they glanced at Leng Youran subtly. This glance made Leng Youran feel cold in her heart. She didn't know why she felt that these three people were coming for her, and it was not a good thing.
After renting the cave, Leng Youran felt relieved. She strolled around the market with a leisurely look on her face. When she came to a talisman shop, she couldn't help but walk in. She always had a vague feeling that she would not have the chance to come out to buy things in the future. It might be because those three people gave her a very bad impression! Shaking her head and no longer thinking about those bad things, she walked into the shop and saw that there were not many people inside. The deacon in the shop greeted her warmly, "What do you need, fellow Daoist?" Leng Youran glanced at him and asked lightly, "Give me ten pieces of blank talisman paper, one hundred first- and second-level monster skins, and twenty bottles of high-level monster blood." The deacon was a little disappointed when he heard her request, but since she bought a lot, he would get a lot of commission.
Leng Youran just walked out of the store when she found someone following her. It was the male cultivator among the three who had been following her. He was even more certain that the man was coming for him. There was no change on his face as he walked into a grocery store and bought five hundred jade bags, one thousand jade boxes, two hundred large wine jars, five hundred medium wine jars, five hundred small wine jars, two thousand jade bottles for elixirs, and one thousand spirit jade bottles. It was not unusual to buy these things in a grocery store, because the cultivators in the sect often bought these things. Although she bought a little too much, she might also buy them for others, so she didn't think much about it.
Leng Youran thought about it and went into four or five more talisman shops. She gritted her teeth and bought fifty dollars' worth of talisman paper and a thousand monster skins from the last one. She'd already bought a hundred dollars' worth of talisman paper and about fifteen hundred monster skins at the market. She then bought all the same things at another grocery store. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she couldn't help but want to buy. Maybe she was scared of being hunted down during this period! If she could find her mother as soon as possible after entering the sect, she wouldn't be afraid anymore. With her mother's support, no one would bully her anymore. But if she couldn't find her mother, she'd have to make some plans.
As I walked, I came to the place where the casual cultivators set up stalls. Looking at the stalls that seemed as far as the eye could see, I felt a little excited. Since I had nothing to do anyway, I just strolled around slowly.
He walked and looked all the way without caring how anxious the monks who were following him were. If they wanted to follow, they could follow! He walked to a stall selling spirit beast eggs and looked at the spirit beast eggs on the stall. Thinking of Leng Qianmo's spirit beast egg, he became interested and squatted in front of the stall to look at it carefully. The stall owner saw that it was a little boy of about ten years old who was curiously looking at the spirit beast eggs on the stall. He was wearing a high-quality robe and his cultivation was not low. Such a young boy with a high cultivation should not be a casual cultivator. Such a cultivator must be from a big family, so he took care of him enthusiastically. "What spirit beast do you want, little Taoist friend? Look, these are the spirit beast eggs of the Dapeng bird, these are the spirit beast eggs of the blue bird, and there are also spirit beast cubs," Leng Youran asked. “How many spirit stones are needed for the blue bird’s spirit beast eggs, and how many for the fire fox?” The stall owner saw her asking and quickly answered, “Spirit beast eggs are ten low-grade spirit stones, and spirit beast cubs are one hundred low-grade spirit stones.” Leng Youran nodded and put the spirit beast eggs and fire fox cubs she liked into the spirit beast ring. She saw that there were several cubs in the cage that looked very good, which made her heart soften. She glanced at the cub in the cage on the other side, which was a golden gale leopard cub. She didn’t feel anything when she saw it, but when she saw the look in its eyes, which were full of pleading, her heart softened suddenly.
"How many spirit stones does this spiritual beast cub cost, fellow Daoist?" The stall owner looked at the embarrassment on the face of the Gale Leopard and said with a bitter face, "I don't know why this little guy just won't follow anyone no matter who buys it. It even bit the monk who bought it once, and was beaten and thrown back with only one breath left. Look, its wounds haven't healed yet!" The stall owner pointed at the wounds on the Gale Leopard's body and showed it to her. Leng Youran thought for a while and said, "Then I'll try to see if she will follow me. If she is willing, I'll buy her." The stall owner thought about it and it was a good idea. If he could sell it, he could also sell more spirit stones. He picked up the Gale Leopard and put it on the ground, letting it choose for itself. Leng Youran walked up to it, squatted on the ground and asked softly, "If you want to follow me, crawl over by yourself. I only give you one chance." The stall owner was a little disapproving at first, but then he was surprised to see the Gale Leopard slowly crawling towards Leng Youran.
Leng Youran reached out and picked up the Swift Leopard that crawled to her, fed it a pill and put it into the spirit beast ring, then paid the stall owner two hundred and ten low-grade spirit stones and turned to leave. The people who were following her behind him gritted their teeth. In their hearts, the things in Leng Youran's storage bag should belong to them, but he actually bought that useless cub. You know, if a cub doesn't have enough pills, it will be difficult for it to grow up.
Leng Youran didn't care what he was thinking in his heart. She strolled around the market leisurely and bought many spiritual medicine seeds and several spiritual fruit seedlings from the seed stall. What made her happiest was that she also found a sapling of calming fruit. Although it would take thousands of years to mature, she didn't care. After all, she had the space! After a walk around the market town, he decided to go back to his cave abode as he thought nothing was wrong. On the way back, he saw a clothing store and walked in thinking that he only had the clothes on his body. The shopkeeper was a female cultivator in her thirties. Seeing Leng Youran come in, she greeted him warmly, "What kind of clothes do you need, fellow Daoist? The clothes here are made of heaven silk and cloud spider silk. They are very nice to wear. Do you have a favorite style, young Daoist?" Leng Youran looked at the various clothes hanging behind the counter and asked, "How many spirit stones are these clothes per set?" The shopkeeper smiled and explained, "Twenty low-grade spirit stones are used for those made of heaven silk, and one hundred low-grade spirit stones are used for those made of cloud spider silk. Although the clothes made of heaven silk are not dharma robes, they can withstand the attacks of cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training, and those made of cloud spider silk can withstand the attacks of cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training." "Fellow Daoist, you need defensive robes to withstand ten attacks from the late stage of the Core Formation Realm. I suggest you buy a bellyband, which can withstand ten attacks from the late stage of the Core Formation Realm. However, it will be quite expensive, costing one thousand low-grade spirit stones." Leng Youran thought about it and picked out five sets of women's clothes and two sets of men's clothes for herself. The key is that these clothes can be changed in size. All seven sets are made of heavenly silk, costing a total of one hundred and forty low-grade spirit stones. She asked the shopkeeper to get her a bellyband, which cost more than one thousand low-grade spirit stones. It was impossible to say that she didn't feel bad, but there was no way. These things would be indispensable in the future. With that little bit of heartache, she returned to the cave she rented and activated the formation inside. She also activated the formation that Leng Qianmo gave her in the room, and then she lay down to rest with peace of mind. She hadn't slept for a while, so she decided to have a good sleep first, completely ignoring how depressed the person following her outside was.
