"Woohoo! It's so delicious, I want them all."
After Zhang Miao finished her string, she looked at the candied haws stand on the stall with tears in her eyes. The stand was made of logs, and the holes on it were filled with candied haws.
"This?" Jiang Yun took a look. According to the calculation that one spirit stone is in one string, there are only dozens of spirit stones. But with so many, the other party should be fine after eating them. Immortal cultivators are more powerful than mortals, right?
"Okay, thank you, Immortal Master." The stall owner was a middle-aged Xiantian mortal. He usually relied on this craft to make a living in the outer city. This was the first time he had seen a cultivator buying like this.
"How many spirit stones?"
“34 yuan!”
The stall owner counted them carefully and found that there were still 34 candied haws left, and said happily immediately.
"Here you go, no need to change." Zhang Miaoyi took out a spirit stone from the storage bag and handed it over without waiting for Jiang Yun to take out the spirit stone.
“This…what is this?”
The stall owner looked at the spirit stone in his hand and was immediately at a loss. First of all, the other party only gave him one spirit stone, and secondly, this spirit stone was different from the spirit stones he usually collected. It felt brighter?
"Mid-grade Spirit Stone?" Jiang Yun recognized it immediately. This was a mid-grade Spirit Stone. If you exchanged it for a low-grade Spirit Stone, you could often get one or two more. He immediately said to the stall owner:
"Don't worry, this is a mid-grade spirit stone. It would cost at least 100 low-grade spirit stones."
"Mid-grade spirit stones?!" It was the first time that the stall owner saw this. He was immediately happy and worried. He was happy because his harvest today was equal to his harvest of more than half a month. But he was worried about where he could exchange it. As a mortal, he might not even be able to enter the inner city.
At this moment, several stall owners in the surrounding stalls saw this scene and immediately looked over.
"Lao Luo, you've made a fortune! I'll exchange this spirit stone for you!" A stall owner next to them looked at Jiang Yun and Zhang Miaoyi, and immediately knew that they had met a big customer.
"Okay!" Lao Luo, the candied haws seller, was worried about where to exchange them and was ready to agree immediately. The stall owner on the right also glanced at Jiang Yun and said quickly:
"That's not fair. I'll add two low-grade spirit stones and exchange them for 102!"
When Lao Luo heard this, he looked at Zhang Miao, who was carrying the candied haws stand, and said:
"Master, this is too much. I..."
Jiang Yun looked at Zhang Miaoyi, whose eyes were full of candied haws, and shook his head and said:
"It's okay, take it, 102 yuan is a fair price."
The stall owner, Lao Luo, finally felt relieved and thanked him profusely. He watched the female cultivator carrying the candied haws and Jiang Yun leave. Then he began to exchange with the cultivator at the stall to the right.
"Brother Mulin, I didn't expect there are such delicious foods in the outer city!" Jiang Yun said speechlessly while looking at Zhang Miaoyi who was carrying a candied haws stand that was more than one meter tall.
"How about we put him in the storage bag? Try something else?"
"Oh," Zhang Miaoyi put it in the storage bag, wiped the tears and whispered:
"Brother Mu Lin, please don't laugh at me. I haven't felt this happy since my mother passed away. The candied haws just now seemed to bring me back to my childhood."
Looking at the depressed Zhang Miaoyi, Jiang Yun didn't know how to comfort her. Suddenly, he saw someone selling spiritual rice cakes in front of him. These cakes were made in imitation of the mortal rice cakes, with soft and glutinous spiritual rice and various spiritual fruits.
"Well, no, try the one in front. That one is delicious too."
Zhang Miaoyi then raised her head excitedly and looked at the white rice-made object placed on the wooden board in front of her, and was immediately filled with curiosity.
"Woo, this is delicious too!"
Next, Jiang Yun took Zhang Miaoyi around the market. Although there were fewer people setting up stalls, the snacks were still available. Zhang Miaoyi ate until her mouth was full of oil, and she finally rubbed her belly.
"I'm so full. I've been eating fasting pills all these years. I didn't expect there are so many delicious foods here."
Today she not only ate snacks such as candied haws and glutinous rice cakes, but also staple foods such as wontons, buns, and noodles.
Jiang Yun suddenly understood deeply that if the mother was still alive, she could usually ensure that the child had good food, but if the father was taking care of the child, he could often only ensure that the child was alive.
Not only did Zhang Miaoyi eat her fill, but her storage bag was also filled with all her favorite snacks.
After leaving the market, Zhang Miaoyi kept looking back, watching the bustling market behind him, and suddenly asked in a low voice:
"Brother Mulin, will you bring me here again in the future?"
"This?" Jiang Yun suddenly felt something was wrong, and the surrounding spiritual consciousness felt even more agitated. Jiang Yun didn't dare to say anything, and said softly:
"I have had a younger sister since I was little. Seeing you is like seeing my own younger sister. Let's come here again if we have the chance."
"That's great." Looking at the happy Zhang Miaoyi, Jiang Yun suddenly realized that he had thought too much. The other party had no concept of love between men and women.
Seeing that they had almost completed the journey, Jiang Yun prepared to go back with Zhang Miaoyi. On the way, he asked indirectly about the real Purple Yang Divine Stone.
"The divine stone is on Ziyun Peak, but now it's almost the same as an ordinary stone."
After hearing Zhang Miaoyi's words, Jiang Yun's heart tightened and he quickly asked:
"How did it become an ordinary stone?"
After listening to Zhang Miaoyi's explanation, Jiang Yun finally understood what was going on. The patterns on the surface of the Purple Yang Divine Stone had become increasingly fainter over the past hundred years, and finally slowly disappeared. If outsiders didn't know, they would probably think it was an ordinary stone.
The divine stone is not large, only about a meter tall. It was originally stored in a treasury, rarely seen. Later, the lines on it were found to be fading. Yuanying Zhenjun, believing it was due to excessive human intervention, placed it atop Ziyun Peak, the highest point. There, it is bathed in sunlight and moonlight, hoping that it will one day regain its former glory. Ziyang City forged the divine stone to maintain its prestige.
"Oh, I see. I wonder when I'll be able to actually see the Purple Sun Divine Stone?"
Jiang Yun said with longing in his heart that for the sake of the magic stone, he was willing to stay here longer.
"That's not easy. After Dad and I return to the sect, you can go with us."
Zhang Miaoyi said easily. In her opinion, isn’t it seen every day in the sect?
"Is it really possible? I can also go to Ziyang Sect?"
During Jiang Yun's time in Ziyang City, this was the first time he had heard that it was possible to visit the Ziyang Sect. Even Zhang Cheng and his side branches couldn't normally go there; only the main lineage could.
"Sure, I'll just invite Brother Mu Lin to go when the time comes, but it can't be too long."
Zhang Miaoyi looked at Jiang Yun with a gloomy look after she finished speaking. She still hoped that Brother Mu Lin could play with her more often. But Jiang Yun was delighted when he heard this. Regardless of whether he could get the magic stone, it would be good to see it.
"Okay, then if I get the chance I must go to Ziyang Sect to see the real divine stone!"
Jiang Yun, feeling hopeful again, suddenly felt his steps lighten. He and Zhang Miaoyi had already reached the inner city gate. Here, the Demon Suppression Division's inspections were the most rigorous.
Every monk not only has to check his identity token, but also has to go through a magic mirror for a thorough inspection.
Seeing that the line wasn't too long, Jiang Yun and Zhang Miao quickly arrived at the inner city gate, one after the other. There, he ran into an acquaintance from the Demon Suppression Division.
