#2770 - Xianbaolou
Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli completed their final task and, after leaving the Jia residence, headed towards the city's market district.
The city had four major market districts, divided into east, west, south, and north.
The scale and quality of the market districts in these four areas varied.
The East District market was the best of all the markets in Nine Dragons Imperial City, with higher quality in both scale and resources sold.
Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli first went to the South District market.
The South District market ranked second, while the West District market was the worst.
Although their current cultivation levels were not high, their demand for resources was not very high either.
Even though Jun Wuxie's demand for resources was much higher than the grade corresponding to his cultivation level, resources of the third grade of the Heavenly God realm were sufficient for the time being.
However, although the required grade was not high, the rarity was very high.
He did not lack ordinary resources, and even resources that were not extremely rare were not lacking. What he lacked were special rare resources that could increase the refining speed by dozens of times.
Therefore, the rarer the resources, the more likely they were to be found in higher-level markets.
The South District market had many shops, all decorated luxuriously and impressively.
People buying resources here were in an endless stream.
He and Mo Qingli looked around, and although there were many rare resources, none of them were what he needed.
The effects of those rare resources were other effects unrelated to cultivation speed, or they could speed up cultivation, but the extent was not enough, not what Jun Wuxie wanted.
Each shop's hall had an information column.
The information column introduced the contents of the auctioned items.
Jun Wuxie noticed that the information column introduced the items that were auctioned last time and those that would be auctioned soon, as well as their effects.
He and Mo Qingli went to various places, but still did not see any resources that met their needs.
Even if there were any, they were the items auctioned last time, which had already been bid for and were extremely rare.
"These kinds of resources seem to be extremely rare even in today's Primordial Great World."
"Lord Jun, let's go directly to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion in the East District market."
"The Immortal Treasure Pavilion is the largest merchant house in the East District, and the Immortal Treasure Pavilion is all over the world."
"Their strength is extremely strong, and they have been established for a very long time."
"Apart from their own people, no one knows how long the history of this Immortal Treasure Pavilion is."
"In the Primordial Great World, even the top Dao lineages would not choose to offend the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, and the world's Dao lineages will give them some face."
"The resources of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion are naturally the best and most complete."
"As long as there are rare resources in other places, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion will definitely have them, and in greater quantities."
"If other merchant houses do not have rare treasures, then only the Immortal Treasure Pavilion may have them."
"Then let's go to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion."
Jun Wuxie had the same idea.
In this imperial city, if other places did not have what he needed, then only the Immortal Treasure Pavilion was an option.
After they left, someone secretly poked their head out, with a flash of cold light in their eyes.
"Let's see where they are going again."
The two people who were secretly tracking followed.
After following for a while, they discovered that the direction they were going was actually the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, and they could not help but sneer.
"Two rogue cultivators, thinking that they can buy resources at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion after completing a few tasks?"
"They are really country bumpkins!"
"What kind of place is the Immortal Treasure Pavilion? The worst resources inside require hundreds of Heavenly Dao Coins, and the Immortal Treasures above the second grade of the Heavenly God realm are the starting point!"
"Not to mention, if you want to buy resources in the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, you must first become a member of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion."
"The entry-level primary membership requires 30,000 Heavenly Dao Coins to apply!"
"Where do the two rogue cultivators get the funds?"
"They probably have never seen so much money as 30,000 Heavenly Dao Coins in their entire lives."
"Hehe, after all, they are rogue cultivators, we have to understand."
"Rogue cultivators are poor and destitute. In the past, they lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife for a little resource. How can we expect them to have any knowledge?"
"The bottom of the cultivation world is the bottom."
"Even if they have now become disciples of the Jinyun Immortal Sect, they still can't change their poor appearance. Their words and deeds always carry the sourness of the bottom, hahaha!"
The two trackers, while following from a distance, communicated with their divine senses, secretly mocking Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli.
The two of them gained psychological satisfaction and pleasure from their self-imagination.
… …
At this time, Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli had already arrived at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
They first wandered around the hall and looked at the information column.
It showed the items that were auctioned last time, including several special cultivation resources, immortal treasures whose refining speed was dozens of times that of ordinary resources.
The lowest was the third grade of the Heavenly God realm, and the highest was the fifth grade of the Heavenly God realm.
The other half of the information column introduced the immortal treasures that would be auctioned next time.
Jun Wuxie looked all the way down and finally saw the resources that met his needs.
Third grade of the Heavenly God realm, Divine Ruins Immortal Grass.
The introduction above stated that the Divine Ruins Immortal Grass was picked from the ancient Divine Ruins ruins and was rare in the world.
Although it was only the third grade of the Heavenly God realm and the grade was not high, the cultivation effect was amazing and suitable for cultivators in the Undying realm or some Eternal Life realm cultivators with relatively strong physical bodies and strong people to assist in cultivation.
In addition to the Divine Ruins Immortal Grass of the third grade of the Heavenly God realm, there were also the fourth grade and fifth grade of the Heavenly God realm, all of which were this type of special cultivation resource.
It was just that Jun Wuxie did not pay attention to the rare immortal treasures above the fourth grade of the Heavenly God realm for the time being.
Firstly, he could not use them at the moment, and secondly, he did not have enough financial resources.
There would definitely be many contenders for this type of resource.
The third grade of the Heavenly God realm was fine, suitable for the Undying realm and the Eternal Life realm. The people in this realm should not be too strong financially.
Even if they were disciples of a large family, even if they were direct descendants, they were not geniuses and would not receive the full support of the family or sect.
The weakest of the contemporary geniuses should be in the late or even peak stage of the Undying realm.
When they reached this realm, the effect of the Divine Ruins Immortal Grass of the third grade of the Heavenly God realm would be discounted, and spending a lot of money might not be so worthwhile.
And the next generation of geniuses, because of their younger age, their realm was still in the Legendary realm, and very few had entered the Eternal Life realm, so most of them could not use it.
Therefore, the competition for the Divine Ruins Immortal Grass of the third grade of the Heavenly God realm was relatively not so intense.
But when it came to the fourth grade of the Heavenly God realm, it was different. It was exactly the grade of resources needed by most contemporary geniuses and would be snapped up.
According to the information on the information column, rare immortal treasure auctions were held only once a month, and not every time would there be resources that met their needs.
Therefore, once they encountered what they needed, the people participating in the auction would definitely not give up easily.
"There are still twenty days until the next auction."
Mo Qingli looked at the auction countdown on the information column, her moth eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Let's go, let's go see the goods of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion."
Jun Wuxie turned and walked towards the counter area where various resources were sold.
"Lord Jun, let's go back first."
Mo Qingli reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
"Why?"
"Let's go back and talk."
Mo Qingli pulled him away.
Jun Wuxie didn't say anything and followed her away.
The two people who were tracking and monitoring outside could not help but sneer secretly.
This was exactly the result they had expected.
The two rogue cultivators just turned around in the hall and came out.
They must have wanted to go to the counter area to select resources, but were told that they needed to apply for membership, starting at 30,000 Heavenly Dao Coins, and were scared away.
They continued to track and monitor until they saw Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli return to the Jinyun Immortal Sect, and then turned and left.
"These two rogue cultivators from the bottom will probably not leave the imperial city in a short time."
"If we miss this time, it will not be so easy to find an opportunity in the future."
"Let's go back and tell the elders the news."
"Hmph, under normal circumstances, it is indeed difficult to find an opportunity, but passively waiting is not the style of the elders."
"Don't forget, someone from our Yi family is employed in the Jinyun Immortal Sect."
"When the time comes, we only need to find an opportunity to use a little power to send the two rogue cultivators out of the imperial city."
"There is no need to wait for opportunities, but to actively create them!"
"That's right, we have someone employed in the Jinyun Immortal Sect, are we still afraid of not having a chance?"
"I was overthinking it and ignored this point."
"The days of those two rogue cultivators are numbered."
"Dare to provoke our Yi family like this, killing my Yi family's retainers is purely courting death!"
"Our Yi family must let him know that even if he has joined the Jinyun Immortal Sect, in this Nine Dragons Imperial Dynasty, some people cannot be offended!"
… …
"The Yi family's people are not giving up."
After entering the sect, after walking not far, Mo Qingli looked back.
"They are courting death themselves, and can't be stopped."
"Let them come, let's see what tricks their Yi family can play."
"It is estimated that they will find an opportunity to use the power of the batch of people from their family who are employed in the Jinyun Immortal Sect."
"Lord Jun, are we not going to the mission management office?"
Mo Qingli was stunned when she saw him heading towards the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
"I thought about it, but I still want to go back to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall first and let Deacon Li help us receive the mission rewards."
"There are many people and eyes in the mission management office. It is easy to attract attention if we submit a four-star difficulty mission now."
"The disciples around us did not recognize us when we took the mission that day and thought we were senior brothers and sisters from the core hall, but the deacons in the mission management office will definitely recognize that we are not core disciples."
"The internal situation of this Jinyun Immortal Sect is complicated, so it is better to be careful."
"For the time being, I don't want too much trouble to come to my door."
"Once they know that we two disciples from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall have completed a four-star mission, I am afraid that even the people from the core hall will pay attention."
"Lord Jun is thoughtful, but can Deacon Li receive the rewards on our behalf?"
Mo Qingli was somewhat uncertain, so she did not think about this.
After all, while the stewards of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall wield considerable power within the Hall, they hold no authority whatsoever at the Mission Management Office.
“He can't do it. He will naturally seek out Steward Zhuang. If Steward Zhuang can't do it, he will seek out Protector Zhou Chang.
Besides, we can't discern which side the stewards at the Mission Management Office are on, but Steward Li might know, or at least Steward Zhuang is clear about it.”
… …
Returning to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, they went directly to Steward Li.
Many of the handyman disciples had different feelings upon seeing the two of them.
Some were envious, some were jealous, some were hostile, and some were indifferent.
Many aristocratic disciples felt angry when they saw them enter the Stewards' Hall directly.
What kind of place was the Stewards' Hall?
It was the management office of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. If handyman disciples had matters to report, they had to report them first and obtain permission before entering.
These aristocratic disciples were the same.
However, these two loose cultivators, originally of humble status, actually possessed such privileges that they could enter the Stewards' Hall at will without reporting!
Inside the Stewards' Hall, many stewards greeted them with smiles.
However, some stewards had unsightly expressions, especially Steward Yin, whose face was livid and whose eyes were icy cold.
If looks could kill, Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli would probably be riddled with holes.
When he saw Steward Li, Steward Li was stunned for a moment.
“Yuan Chu, Su Qingqian? Didn't you go to perform a mission?
Why are you back so quickly? Did you encounter any trouble?”
Steward Li was very surprised. Could it be that Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian had accepted a more difficult three-star mission, and the trip was not smooth, so they gave up halfway and returned?
