"A strange spirit boat?" The Qin family cultivators in Ziyunfang were the first to receive this news. The one currently guarding the market was Qin Fang, an older Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Qin family. The original Foundation Establishment cultivator, Qin Feng, had been killed by a master alchemist while attempting to rob him.
"What does he look like?"
Qin Fang quickly asked his subordinates who had seen it to describe it. After hearing it, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Purple Sun Sect?!"
Qin Fang was well-informed and immediately recognized that this was the unique talisman boat of the Ziyang Sect, usually used by the Worship Hall when dispatching missions.
"I hope it's not what I think."
Qin Fang immediately recalled the investigation after Qin Feng's disappearance. At that time, the young master of the Biyun Qin family had also died nearby. He had also been at the Ziyun auction at that time. The murderer was likely the cultivator currently in the Ziyang Sect.
Hu Ming controlled the talisman boat, passing through the market town. It then stopped in the distance. Several people jumped off the boat, and the massive talisman boat instantly transformed into several small talismans.
"Okay, I'm afraid this won't work if I use it twice more." Hu Ming put the talisman into the storage bag and then looked at Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun nodded and said,
"I'd like to ask you to rest here first. Listen for my signal and attack at any time."
This place was in a small valley near the market town. Based on the speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they could sense it within a few breaths. Jiang Yun's appearance suddenly changed, transforming into a cultivator with a square face, broad forehead, and wide eyes. He was young and looked somewhat immature, and his aura also faded, transforming into that of a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
The south gate of Ziyun Market was originally a large square. Because it was located in the outer area of the market, there were no city gates. Many caravans heading to the mortal world would gather here and set off.
But when Jiang Yun arrived, it had been replaced by a large red wooden city gate. Several mid-to-late stage Qi Refining cultivators in black armor were stationed there, checking the identity tokens of the cultivators coming and going.
"Where did you come from?" I heard the monk guarding the city ask.
Jiang Yun's slightly childish face suddenly showed a trace of panic, and he spoke quickly.
"I'm from the nearby Huang family, here to buy some supplies." Jiang Yun said, and took out a spirit stone from his storage bag. Then, he took a photo with the monk guarding the city and obtained an identity token to enter the city.
"Remember, you are not allowed to spend the night on the street."
Jiang Yun smoothly entered the newly renovated Ziyun Market. The haphazard wooden houses of the monks in the outer areas had been replaced by wider streets and neatly constructed brick and tile houses. Each one was two-story. It seemed the Qin family had invested considerable effort in making it the center of the neighborhood. Sadly, they were destined to be unable to enjoy it.
Jiang Yun entered Ziyun Market without delay, following the newly paved bluestone streets to the original inner city. There were still a few cultivators guarding the original city gate, but compared to the outer city gate Jiang Yun had just entered, the overall cultivation level and number of cultivators were significantly lower. What Jiang Yun hadn't expected was that entering the inner city would require a payment of spirit stones.
After paying a spirit stone, Jiang Yun received a temporary talisman token.
"You can only stay in the inner city for one day. Remember to leave the city as soon as possible before the talisman dissipates. If you want to live in the inner city, you need to buy a house or rent one."
Jiang Yun hadn't expected that Ziyun Market had not only begun developing real estate in the outer city, but that the inner city was even higher in quality. He nodded and walked into the inner city. Suddenly, the spiritual energy around him was much higher than that of the outer city.
"Spirit Gathering Array?" Jiang Yun felt the difference in spiritual energy. Although it was still not as good as that in Ziyang City, it should be enough to satisfy general foundation-building cultivation.
The layout of the inner city had not changed much. It was still the familiar streets and some familiar shops. Jiang Yun felt a little nervous as he walked towards the Shixiang Pavilion.
"According to this situation, there may be more than one Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding the Qin family in Ziyunfang City."
Jiang Yun thought silently in his heart that this place could initially meet the cultivation needs of cultivators in the early stage of foundation building. For some cultivators who were unwilling to stay in the Immortal City and under the noses of the Jindan cultivators, this place was undoubtedly a good choice.
"Shixiang Pavilion!" Jiang Yun arrived at a familiar street and saw a familiar sign. This shop was originally a delivery restaurant in the inner city, and Jiang Yun had spent some time there. It was almost noon. Jiang Yun looked at the sign, calmed down, and walked into the familiar lobby.
"Master, please come in." Jiang Yun was greeted by the mortal clerk as soon as he entered. Jiang Yun saw a mortal who he had never seen before. He glanced around and saw a strange cultivator standing at the counter.
"Hmm?" Jiang Yun frowned slightly, but said nothing. He sat on the chair and played with the bamboo chopsticks on the table.
"I haven't been here for a long time. I was here a few years ago. Please put up your sign!" After Jiang Yun said that, he took out a spirit stone and threw it to the clerk.
"Master, we have changed the chef in our restaurant recently. I wonder if you would like to try the signature dishes made by our new chef."
The clerk looked at the spirit stone in his hand and his face was suddenly filled with joy. However, when he heard that this customer from a few years ago wanted to eat the signature dish, he quickly said:
"A new owner?" Jiang Yun pretended to have just noticed and looked at the counter. Uncle Fu used to sit there. Unfortunately, it was now a middle-aged stranger, a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage. But Jiang Yun was sure he had never seen him before.
"Yes, Master, would you like to try it?" the clerk said casually, and Jiang Yun suddenly felt a surge of anger. Shixiang Pavilion was the shop where Uncle Fu planned to retire. And now the owner had changed.
