Chapter 10, Fang City
The Fang Market in Fairy Town is at the west end of the town, close to the Heavenly Dao Temple, and Li Dong is still visiting the Fang Market for the first time, which is completely different from the feeling of visiting a shopping mall on the earth.
On a street in Fang City, there is a straight and wide bluestone avenue, and there are shops on both sides of the road, what is "Li's Pharmacy", "Huang's Array Instrument Shop", "Baicaotang", "Wanbaoge", "Shenrune Family", "Yipintang"...... There are a lot of shops.
Li Dong's purpose is very clear, that is, to buy some suitable gifts for Uncle Sun and Aunt Qin and Mengzhu, and now that Li Dong has a huge amount of money and the support of the local tyrant Master, Li Dong can finally experience the life of a rich man.
Li Dong first walked into the "Wanbao Pavilion", it is said that Wanbao Pavilion is one of the top ten families in Canglan Tianwei City Lin family's industry, when it comes to the Tianwei Lin family, Canglan Star is known to passers-by, even Li Dong, a rookie who has only come to the Tao, has heard of it.
This Wanbao Pavilion in Fairy Town is just a branch, numbered 7998, and it is clear that the scale of Wanbao Pavilion is very large, and this model is somewhat like those national chain stores on the planet.
There are three floors in the Wanbao Pavilion, the first floor is open to Dao Qi stage monks, the second layer is only eligible to enter if you have reached the Dao Seal Period, and the third layer is only allowed to enter if you have reached the Dao Seed Period. It is said that in the headquarters of Wanbao Pavilion, there are a total of five floors, the fourth and fifth floors are the Dao Fruit Realm, and even the power of the Dao Tribulation Realm can enter.
Li Dong walked into the first floor of Wanbao Pavilion, only to find that the faΓ§ade that didn't look big on the outside was actually a hole inside, a total of six areas were divided, equivalent to six small facades, and the inside was actually very spacious, and there was a beautiful female cultivator entertaining, obviously, there was a space circle in this Wanbao Pavilion store, and it was a high-level space circle. Only a wealthy merchant like Wanbaoge has the financial resources to arrange these.
Li Dong walked into one of the storefronts, and saw all kinds of magic weapons placed on the counters around the wall, and there was a jade slip next to each magic weapon, which introduced the level of magic weapons, refining materials, power, and efficacy, which was equivalent to the product manual.
"This fellow Daoist, what do you need?" The female cultivator who entertained was a late Taoist cultivator, about the age of her early twenties, with a convex and backward figure, slender and plump, and a very good look, with big eyes and a small cherry mouth, this posture is a proper goddess on the earth.
However, in this cultivation world, as long as you are more than eighteen years old, it is difficult to see the true age of the monk, not to mention that the monk can greatly extend his lifespan through cultivation, it is said that there are too many methods in the cultivation world, such as the Zhuyan Dan, the low-level one can stay for ten years, and the high-level one can even stay for a hundred years. Of course, the price of the Zhuyan Pill is not expensive, and it is not something that ordinary monks can afford.
"I want to buy three defensive vestments, one for men and two for women, do you have any good recommendations?" Li Dong's first thing is to buy defensive robes for Uncle Sun's family, and first ensure safety.
The female cultivator originally saw that Li Dong was a teenager, so she didn't care too much, but she didn't expect to be a big customer, you must know that she works part-time in Wanbao Pavilion, and her salary is linked to her performance, and she has a commission for every magic weapon sold. It's a lot like a lot of shops on the planet.
When she saw the magic robe on Li Dong's body and the storage ring on his hand, she knew that Li Dong's identity was not trivial, and he might be a descendant of some big family, and the magic robe on Li Dong's body turned out to be the second-ranked Vientiane Star Magic Robe in the low-level magic weapon in the "Heavenly Dao Magic Weapon Spectrum", which was made of star beast fur and blood, and was inlaid with two sets of third-order defensive formations and one set of space formations, which could withstand the two full-strength attacks of the monks in the late Dao Seal period. As for storage rings, that's not to mention how precious they are.
"What grade of magic robe does that fellow Daoist want?"
"Low-grade and high-grade."
During the Dao Qi period, because of his cultivation, the vitality in his body was insufficient, so he could only use low-level magic weapons, and Li Dong was not bad at the spirit stone now, so of course he chose a good one to buy.
"Then I recommend to you the Yunxia Colored Glass Clothes and the Illusory Seven Star Clothes, both of which are on the list of magic clothes in the "Heavenly Dao Magic Instrument Spectrum". The nun introduced the two robes to Li Dong very enthusiastically.
The Yunxia glazed robe is worn by female cultivators, made of glazed gold silk from Yunxia Mountain in Huangting City in the north of Canglan Star, and there are two second-order defensive formations inlaid on it, which can withstand two full-strength attacks by the monks who cultivated in the early stage of the Dao Seal, as long as they wear this Yunxia glazed robe, they basically don't have to worry about being sneak attacked.
The Colorful Seven Star Clothes are made of the special Seven Star Colored Butterfly Cocoon Silk Silk in the Illusion Valley of Fallen Leaf City, and it is also inlaid with two second-order defensive formations, and its function is basically similar to that of Yunxia Colored Glass Clothes.
"Yunxia glazed clothes with six hundred spirit stones, and the Phantom Seven Star Clothes with five hundred and eighty spirit stones, a total of one thousand seven hundred and eighty spirit stones." The nun quoted the price, "Fellow Daoist, do you need anything else?" β
"Bring me two more flying swords, I want a low-grade high-grade flying sword, well, buy a storage bag, I want a high-grade one."
Not long after, Li Dong walked out of Wanbao Pavilion and went to Fangshi Square, where there are stalls, selling medicinal liquids, all kinds of ores, all kinds of low-level talismans, rune paper, all kinds of array plates, array flags, all kinds of herbs, monster bones, fur, all kinds of jade slips, as well as selling spirit valleys, spirit wine, dazzling, very lively.
Although Li Dong's cultivation is not high now, with his master Cao Qianhe, a master of the Dao seed stage, his vision is naturally higher, and he has money in his pocket, so he naturally can't look down on the stalls, and if he wants to buy it, he will buy it in a specialty store. After all, the quality of the things in the store is guaranteed.
So Li Dong just planned to see the bustle of the market, and he didn't prepare to have nothing on the stall, but when Li Dong turned to the stall of an old man in the late stage of Taoism, the little cutie who had been staying quietly in his spirit platform suddenly spoke.
"Stupid boy, buy that purple stone."
The stall owner is a gray-haired old man, he looks old, he is still in the late stage of Taoism, it is estimated that there are not many years to live, that is, he has spread a animal skin on the ground in the corner, which is full of colorful ores, it is obvious that the old man should be mining, these ores should be mined in some abandoned mines, the real rich ore has long been occupied by the major forces and major families, and the ordinary monks cannot go into mining. Only those mines that have been largely emptied have been abandoned by the major powers, and there are monks who go to these abandoned mines to pick up the spills and pan for gold.
The old man is old, and going out to mine is definitely not for his own cultivation, but for the future of the next generation, his son or grandson, Li Dong used to be influenced by those Xiuzhen novels on the earth, thinking that the Xiuzhen world is all about treasure hunting, exploration, monster fighting, and upgrading. Now I know that it is not like that at all, and the life of too many low-level monks is just as difficult and difficult. How similar is this to the society on Earth?
The purple ore that the cutie said was mixed with a pile of black ore, and there were a small amount of red, yellow, blue, and white ores next to it, as for what these ores were, Li Dong didn't know at all. He has been here for too short a time, and there is still so much to learn.
"Senior, how many spirit stones are there in these ores? I want them all. "Since the little cutie asked him to buy the purple ore, Li Dong simply bought it all in order not to be too abrupt, it shouldn't be worth much anyway.
"All of them?" The old man was obviously a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly said, "I have a total of thirty-six Xuaniron Stones, fourteen Fire Dragon Stones, seven Cold Stones, three Spirit Stones, and one Purple Spirit Stone here. There are a total of fifty-one pieces, the Xuantie Stone is cheap, thirty-six pieces count as your three spirit stones, the fire dragon stone counts as your seven spirit stones, the cold stone is more rare, seven pieces count as your fourteen spirit stones, three spirit stones count as your fifteen spirit stones, as for this purple spirit stone, well, you will receive thirty spirit stones, a total of sixty-nine spirit stones. β
Li Dong took out sixty-nine spirit stones from the storage ring and handed them to the old man, and was about to put the ore from the stall into the storage ring, when an inopportune voice suddenly sounded.
"Wait, don't be busy collecting these ores yet. Master, I want it. ββ
The one who spoke was a young man about the same age as Li Dong, with a slender figure, a handsome appearance, a late cultivation of Dao Qi, and a gorgeous brocade robe, well, Li Dong knew this dress, it should be the Heavenly Wind Soul Nourishing Clothes ranked tenth among the low-level magic weapons on the "Heavenly Dao Magic Weapon Spectrum". Behind this young man stood a middle-aged male cultivator who Li Dong couldn't see the realm, but Li Dong guessed that this male cultivator should be in the early or middle stage of the Dao Seal. Because he gave Li Dong the feeling that he was far inferior to the master.
Li Dongli ignored the young man, waved his right hand, and put all the ores on the stall into the storage ring, then got up and looked at the handsome young man, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, this fellow Daoist, you are a step late, I have already bought these ores, and the spirit stones have been paid to this senior." Why don't you go to another stall? β
The young man probably saw Li Dong's magic robe and the storage ring on his hand, and knew that Li Dong's identity was not simple, so his face that was about to attack became a little kinder, and he bowed his hand to Li Dong to say hello: "Daoyou please, I am a child of the Lan family, and I am the seventh in the family, and Daoist friends can call me Lan Qishao." Don't know what to call a friend? β
Fairy Blue Family? Li Dong has heard of the three major land snakes in Fairy Town, the three families of blue, white and yellow, these three families are of course not worth mentioning in Canglan Star, but they can still be ranked in Tiannan City, and they are the overlords in Fairy Town. The Lan family refines, the Bai family makes talismans, and the Huang family refines. A lot of business in Fairy Town is controlled by these three families. Uncle Sun and Aunt Qin worked in the Huangjiadan Workshop in the town.
"Oh, it turned out to be Lan Qi Young Master, disrespectful and disrespectful, under Li Dong, I don't know if Lan Qi Shao can have advice?" For some reason, Li Dong felt that such a literary and crepe speech was quite awkward, and it seemed that he still had to continue to adapt.
"That's the case, I'm learning refining tools in the next few days, and I need a batch of ores, I don't know if Li Dongdaoyou can make it convenient and sell the ore you just bought in Xia, and you can buy it at double the price in Xia."
"It's really interesting, how many mines does the Lan family have? Will you lack ores in your blue seven years? Li Dong replied with a slight mockery.
"Daoyou don't know, although my Lan family has a small industry, but there are many people in the family, the main house, the outer room, relatives, adding up to tens of thousands of people, so many refiners, the consumption of ore is naturally large, and in the next stupidity, learning refiners, too many failures, consuming too much ore, the family gives me not enough share, so I can only go to the Fang market to find some, and ask Daoyou to make it convenient."
"That's right," Li Dong pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll give it to you." β
As he spoke, Li Dong waved his hand and took out all the ores in the storage ring and placed them on the ground, of course, only the purple purple stone was left behind.
Lan Qishao was overjoyed at first, but after seeing that there was no one in the pile of ore on the ground that he really wanted, he frowned and said, "Daoist friend is not mistaken, there should be a piece of purple stone." β
Li Dong laughed and said: "That purple spirit stone can't be given to you, I will leave it useful, these are a total of thirty-nine spirit stones, I won't earn you, so I will give you the original price." β
Lan Qishao's face changed, and he said: "It's me who underestimated Daoyou, I didn't expect Daoyou to be a clear-eyed person, you can make a price, how many spirit stones do you want?" β
Li Dong shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't lack spirit stones, and I won't sell purple stones." That's all, do you want it? β
Li Dong is not stupid, after a little temptation, he knew that Lan Qishao was coming for the purple spirit stone, it seems that this purple spirit stone is not simple, it is probably not an ordinary purple spirit stone, otherwise it will not be looked at by Lan Qishao, let alone by the extremely high-eyed spirit cutie.
In Fairy Town, with the support of the master, Li Dong doesn't have to be afraid of anyone at all, even if it is the Lan family, he can't afford to provoke the master. Behind the master is the Heavenly Dao Temple. In Canglan Star, who would dare to provoke the Heavenly Dao Temple? This is the territory of the Heavenly Dao Sect, not to mention the Lan family, even if it is one of the top ten immortal cultivators, the Heavenly Dao Sect can be erased with a touch of a finger. Of course, the master is only an elder in a small branch of the Heavenly Dao Divine Temple, and he is not qualified to enter the Heavenly Dao Sect, but it is still enough to use the Heavenly Dao Sect's signature fox fake tiger might.
Lan Qishao's face was very ugly, he glanced at Li Dong hatefully, and turned his head away a little unwillingly. The attendant behind him, the middle-aged male cultivator from the Dao Seal Period, also glanced at Li Dong deeply, turned around and left.
In this city, there are the rules of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Heavenly Dao Temple, and even the Lan family, the head snake of Fairy Town, does not dare to be presumptuous. However, Li Dong has a little more mind, and he has to guard against them killing people and grabbing treasures in the wild, this kind of thing happens almost every day, as long as it is not done in the city, the Law Enforcement Hall is too lazy to care.
