What is indispensable when shopping? Of course, shopping!
Gu Yao was as happy as a mouse that fell into a rice jar, and he wanted to take back all the spiritual herbs he liked.
If the market in Yuanyang Town was described as a stream, then the market in Shifang City was a vast ocean. The dazzling array of various items made Gu Yao's eyes unable to see them all.
You don't need to look at Gu Yao to know that he is a country bumpkin who just came from outside. The clerk in the shop boasted: "Shifang City is the largest cultivation city in Tianlin Continent, and the items here are the most complete. Anything that is available in other places in Tianlin Continent can be bought in Shifang City. Things that are not available in other places can also be found in Shifang City. Even if it is not available at the moment, as long as you can pay enough spirit stones, we can find a way to get it for you."
The tone was so arrogant that Gu Yao just listened. Although he was a country bumpkin, don't forget that there is a powerful figure living in his sea of knowledge, and Chi Changye also came from a place with a higher level of cultivation. If he wanted to make things difficult for the shops here, it is not impossible.
But the words of the waiter were enough to fool the cultivators from small places. Didn't you see that many people's eyes lit up and were full of yearning after hearing them?
Actually, no matter how good the things were, Gu Yao couldn't afford them at the moment. Although he had saved a lot of spiritual stones and spiritual beads before going out and on the way, he knew after walking all the way that they were still poor people. There were too many things they wanted to buy, so they could only pick and choose.
Chi Changye had nothing he wanted to buy, so he was only responsible for following behind Gu Yao and acting as a wallet. At first, Gu Yao was in charge of the money, but later, unknowingly, he often took money from Chi Changye. The only things left by Gu Yao were the spiritual beads used for cultivation.
Such a change was made imperceptibly, so Gu Yao didn't think there was anything wrong. But the two Tian brothers who followed them, especially Tian Feirong, covered their lower lips with a fan and kept looking at the two of them.
Although the two of them were nominally a couple, in fact, Tian Feirong knew very well that the two of them didn't live together at all, except for the time when they were plotted at the beginning, and they didn't roll around together again. But to say that there was no ambiguity at all, just the way they were together was enough to make people gossip for a while.
"Brother, look at these two, they look more and more like a couple." Tian Feirong gossiped to his brother in a low voice.
Tian Feiyang pulled his gaze back from a top-grade magic weapon, glared at his gossipy brother, and replied: "Well, it's quite suitable."
Tian Feirong sighed: "I didn't expect that Gu Yao has saved so much money in just half a year. He's more generous than me, the second young master Tian. Look at how many spirit beads he has spent in this short time."
When he was in Yuanyang Town, he never thought of himself as a poor man, but when he came here and saw the level of spending here, Tian Feirong felt for the first time that his wallet was thin.
Tian Feiyang agreed with his second brother, nodding and saying, "They have no burden, and they all have their own strengths. They can earn more after spending. If you and I leave the family..."
Tian Feiyang sighed and shook his head. They really couldn't survive in a short time after leaving the family, because people like them would either be hired as servants or go out of the city to look for spiritual herbs and hunt monsters, and they might go there with their lives gone but not come back.
Not only the Tian brothers were envious, but the children of the Gu family who were sitting in a tavern were even more envious.
"How can this guy be so lucky? No matter what he wants to buy, someone will give him spirit beads. In just a short while, he must have given away thousands of spirit beads." A descendant of the Gu family's side branch named Gu Yang said sourly. He thought that being able to participate in the Ascension Conference this time would be enough to make him stand out in the family, but compared with Gu Yao, he didn't feel proud much. "But no matter how lucky he is, he can't be as lucky as Brother Gu Yan. Brother Gu Yan is going to enter the Changxian Gate."
Gu Yu is The eldest daughter of the third son of the Gu family, although she was jealous in her heart, she saw Gu Yao refining and selling pills along the way, and said: "Those are the spiritual beads that Gu Yao earned himself. He earned a lot just by selling pills on the way."
Not to mention that he had secretly made deals with the Tian family before leaving the town. His wealth was much higher than that of the children of these families. Although Chi Changye could draw talismans, he could not make money as fast as Gu Yao selling pills. Gu Yu was jealous in his heart.
Gu Yang could not compete with Gu Yu, a direct descendant, but he was still unconvinced in his heart. How could he be pleased with the people who were trampled by them before and were now proud?
There was a group of people passing by downstairs, and passers-by made way for them, looking at them with envy and respect.
"Brother, who are those people down there? They seem to be very important." Gu Yu saw that the people down there were either indifferent or extremely arrogant, and they simply ignored the gazes of passers-by. Gu Yu felt that this was just like the attitude of the children of the Gu family towards the common people and casual cultivators when they were in Yuanyang Town. Now it was their turn to be ignored by others, and this feeling... was very subtle and sour.
Gu Yan saw the logo on their clothes and said calmly: "These are disciples of the North Star Sect. The ones in the lead are inner disciples. The North Star Sect has a high status in our Tianlin Continent. If possible, you should try your best to join this sect."
The Gu family members immediately became serious. It turned out that they were disciples of the North Star Sect, so they naturally had more qualifications to be proud than those from Yuanyang Town.
The Gu family saw it. Gu Yao and the other four also saw the North Star Sect disciples passing by. Tian Feiyang's eyes flashed with envy, but soon calmed down. There was no need to envy the North Star Sect disciples. He would soon follow his aunt into the Tianhai Sect, and he would not necessarily be worse than these North Star Sect disciples in the future. Everything depends on human effort.
"We've been walking around for quite a while, let's find a place to sit down." Tian Feirong pointed to the restaurant across the street and suggested
.
"Okay, we'll be here for quite some time anyway, so there's no need to rush." Gu Yao agreed. The key point was that he was short of money, so he didn't dare to do anything. Xu Chen in his mind was still yelling, saying that he threw all kinds of weeds into the space, but he didn't want to see if he could get a spirit stone. If he couldn't get it, then don't be picky.
When the four of them entered the restaurant, they happened to see the Gu family members standing by the window. Tian Feiyang bowed to them, and then took his brother and Gu Yao to find another place to sit down.
"It's really unlucky to run into them," Tian Feirong muttered in a low voice, "but fortunately
, the twins Gu Xing and Gu Chen didn't come." Tian Feirong's face showed a schadenfreude when he said this. Gu Yao didn't expect that the old man of the Gu family would give up the second branch by doing this? You know, in another ten years, the twins will be old no matter how qualified they are. But this has nothing to do with him. He is
only happy to have one less person to bother him.
The prices of the wine and food in the restaurant made the four people secretly smack their lips. No wonder they saw that the Gu family didn't order much at the table. The original rich people could only endure it when they came here.
Fortunately, it was a rare opportunity to come here, and it was also the first time to enter such a restaurant, so of course I had to try it out and see if the food and wine here were better than those in Yuanyang Town.
Chi Changye glanced at Gu Yao, ordered several dishes in succession, and asked for a pot of spiritual tea. Seeing that Gu Yao was about to protest, he explained that if he wanted to drink, he could buy some and drink it at home, and it was better to drink tea outside. "
Gu Yao had to give up, and Tian Feirong could not resist unless he could beat Chi Changye.
After a while, the dishes and spiritual tea were served. They ate and chatted, occasionally talking about the people passing by on the street outside. In addition to the Beixing Sect, there were several disciples wearing sect uniforms passing by. Tian Feiyang could basically recognize them. This was the homework he did before going out.
"Who are those people?" Gu Yao
asked curiously when he saw a group of cultivators who were dressed differently but obviously belonged to the same group.
Tian Feiyang looked around and said, "They are from Tianfu Academy." He turned around and looked at his second brother.
"Tianfu Academy? Is it the Tianfu Academy with a relatively low threshold but very expensive?" Gu Yao had heard of this name. If he wanted to participate in the Ascension Conference, he would of course ask more about the situation. He couldn't just come over and take a look and slander them.
Tian Feirong sneered twice: "Yes, it's that Tianfu Academy. It's considered a weird place in our Tianlin Continent. My father is so desperate that he wants me to enter this Tianfu Academy. Big brother, you won't really listen to dad. You spend so much money to let me in. I'll just live a lazy life once I go in."
Gu Yao didn't expect that the second young master Tian would be such a person. He looked at this group of people curiously. He had to say that compared with the previous batches of sect disciples, this group of people was really uneven. Their quality was indeed much worse than the previous batches. Some of them had such weak aura that they seemed to be at the third or fourth level of Qi refining. However, judging from their clothes, they should not be short of money. The aura of two of them's magic weapons was enough to blind other people's eyes.
Tian Fei frowned and said: "So what do you want? Just come out for some fun and then go back? Your life in the future may not be as good as before."
In the past, he protected the family, and the other families and those collateral descendants did not dare to bully the second young master Tian blatantly. But when he entered the Tianhai Sect, his father was busy with affairs and could not always keep an eye on the disputes between the younger generations. His grandfather also had other grandchildren.
Tian Fei fanned his fan a few times unhappily, and suddenly his eyes lit up, staring at Gu Yao: "Gu Yao, you are not short of money, why don't we go to Tianfu Academy together?"
The main thing is that with Gu Yao's four spiritual roots qualifications, it is estimated that no sect will accept him. Of course, he may be admitted as an exception if his alchemy skills are revealed, but he has not heard Gu Yao say which sect he wants to join before.
Gu Yao blinked and said, "I need to think about it again. Besides, it depends on what Brother Ye thinks."
Tian Feirong pretended to shut up. Chi Changye, this freak, he didn't forget that he had a single spiritual root of the thunder system. As long as this situation is made public, it is estimated that even Changxianmen will rush to accept him. This guy is also strange. He has been staying in Yuanyang Town obediently before, and he seems to be unwilling to make progress.
Chi Changye drank a sip of spiritual tea, glanced at Gu Yao and smiled faintly, "I don't want to join any sect, Xiaoyao, don't worry about me." It means that wherever Gu Yao goes, he will follow.
Tian Feiyang raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Chi Changye to make such a choice. In his opinion, Chi Changye's spiritual roots and qualifications couldn't be bad. It shouldn't be a problem for him to join any sect he wanted. But he didn't make such a choice. Was it because he looked down on them? Tian Feiyang himself found this idea funny and thought it was unlikely. Maybe it was because Chi Changye
himself had a background and it was not easy for him to join other sects casually.
"In that case, Brother Chi could give Tianfu Academy a try. As far as I know, Tianfu Academy not only has a low threshold, but also has more freedom than the disciples of sects. Everyone who enters the academy can bring an follower with them. Although the students in Tianfu Academy seem sloppy and even ridiculous, if you can enter the inner courtyard of the academy, you are not necessarily worse than the disciples of sects."
"No one in Tianfu Academy stipulates what you must do. Even if you are assigned a task, you can get rid of it with spirit beads and spirit stones. Of course, you can learn something there. I heard that the Collection Pavilion of Tianfu Academy is still very good, but..." "It
still costs money, right?" Gu Yao continued. He really is a money-grubber.
Tian Feiyang smiled and nodded: "Not bad."
Gu Yao looked at Chi Changye. Apart from the fact that he was greedy for money, he was still a little tempted. Although Chi Changye and Xu Chen helped him to supplement his knowledge of cultivation, there were still some things that he needed to understand and contact in person.
His original purpose of coming to the Ascension Conference with the Tian family was to leave Yuanyang Town and stay in the cultivation city, to practice while using his own skills to slowly develop, and then go out to explore and gain experience when he was strong enough.
No sect would accept him with his four spiritual roots. Even if he managed to get in, he would be the lowest-ranking disciple and would not have many good days. Chi Changye would not join any sect casually. The reason was exactly the opposite of his. Was it because his qualifications were too good? So, the Tianfu Academy with a low threshold seemed to be a good choice?
Chi Changye touched Gu Yao's head and said, "It sounds good. If you want to join, go ahead. Since there are vacancies for followers, I will go in with you as a follower."
No matter how bad the environment is, as long as there is a chance to learn real things, then Tianfu Academy is not too bad. After all, Gu Yao is not a person with an unstable mind who is easily swayed and easily affected by the environment.
Gu Yao also wanted to go in and see for himself. If his wish was not met, he would just leave. So he asked, "How much is the tuition for admission?" He had to see if his wealth was enough. If not, he would have to make some pills and sell them to raise money.
"There are two ways," Tian Feiyang smiled. With them joining, his second brother would definitely be willing to stay. "One is to participate in the assessment of Tianfu Academy. The fee is relatively low, ten spirit stones. If the qualifications are particularly good, ten spirit stones can be waived. The second way is to spend money to get in without taking the assessment. You have to pay a hundred spirit stones."
Gu Yao took a breath and his back teeth ached. One hundred spirit stones? ! This is just the entrance fee to the academy. You have to spend money everywhere after entering.
One Lingshi is equivalent to 100 Lingzhu, and 100 Lingshi is 10,000 Lingzhu. Even though Gu Yao's current wealth is not comparable to that of the past, he is not rich enough to ignore the tuition fee. It is no wonder that when he was in Yuanyang Town, he did not hear of any children in Tianfu Academy. It is not something that ordinary people can afford.
