It has to be said that most cultivators that have come to Ming Mei city before will enter from the west gate because that gate is the closest to the free market. There are a lot of treasures that can't be found in the shops, and the price is a bit lower than in the shops. The only downside is that it's hard to tell if the treasure is real or fake, so it's better to go to the shops. It all depends on the buyer's experience.
As for the east gate, if it's not the first time you've come to the city, then you're a big customer!
The young man quickly said, "Senior, junior's name is Li Dannan. I grew up in Ming Mei city. If this is senior's first time here, junior is willing to guide senior. This will save you a lot of trouble.
However, you'll need to spend 10 high quality spirit stones … Wang Lin looked at the young man. After pondering for a bit, he nodded.
10 high quality spirit stones was a bit high. This price was enough to buy some low quality treasures and pills.
However, when Wang Lin went to Rosefinch's tomb, he swept away a large amount of spirit stones from the Forsaken Immortal Clan, so he was very rich.
Li Dannan quickly revealed a respectful expression and said, "Senior, do you need treasures, celestial jades, pills, or materials?
Or perhaps some rune incantations, or perhaps some Divine Ability Magic Arts? "
Wang Lin's expression was neutral as he calmly said, "I want the void wood stone!
Have you heard of it? "
"Kunlun Wood Stone …" Li Dannan's eyes revealed a thoughtful look. After a short while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Is it the Kunlun Wood Stone that has the wood attribute but grows in the shape of a rock every thousand years?"
Wang Lin was very surprised. For this person to know about the void wood stone, he must be very knowledgeable. It has to be said that the void wood stone was one of the items recorded in the memories of the ancient god, Tu Si, to refine the ancient star compass.
Normally, the ancient god clan didn't need anything like the star compass. They could travel through space with their bodies.
Only in some special places or by people with low cultivation would they use it. However, the star compass of the Lucky God Clan is different from the one used by the Cultivation Alliance.
It requires some special materials and a special method to refine it. Once it is refined, its speed and power will be several times stronger than the current star compass.
"There's no anchor. This is it. Is there any place in the city that sells this?"
Wang Lin said calmly. Since the young man in front of him could recognize the Kun Wood Stone, then the ten Upper Grade Spirit Stones were worth it.
Li Dannan hesitated for a moment, then said, "
"Senior, I've only heard about this item from others. Someone is selling it in the Free Market, but the asking price is extremely high. Moreover, this item has no other use other than increasing the speed of the flying sword, so no one has ever bought it.
Later, the seller entrusted this item to a friend in the market square. If Senior wants to go, I will lead the way. However, Senior, this item is extremely expensive. If you don't really need it, wouldn't it be better to exchange it for other materials? "
"I have my uses. Lead the way!" Wang Lin said calmly.
Without another word, Li Dannan led Wang Lin through the city, heading straight for the market on the west side of the city.
The Free Market on the west side of the city was very large. The sound of people buying and selling was endless. Li Dannan had lived here since he was young. He took a shortcut with Wang Lin and soon arrived at the market.
There were stalls set up by cultivators everywhere on the ground, and there were all sorts of Magic Treasures, Magic Tools, Medicinal Pills, Secret Techniques, and so on. There were even some that used the guise of Primordial Magic Tools to sell all sorts of strange objects that attracted the attention of many cultivators.
As they walked, Li Dannan explained everything about the Free Market to Wang Lin in detail. Li Dannan was no longer nervous. His words were slightly humorous and he explained everything to Wang Lin in a few words.
"Senior, look at that bald cultivator. He comes here every few years, and every time he sells something rare," said Meng Hao.
"Senior, the man in the black and white daoist robe hasn't been here for a long time, but all of the items he sells are defective. He has tricked a lot of people who don't know what's good for them. I saw someone chasing after him a few days ago, but I didn't expect to see him again today. I think the person chasing after him either failed or died."
Wang Lin followed Li Dannan's words and looked at the stalls one by one.
Shortly after, Li Dannan stopped at a large stall at the back of the market. He clasped his hands toward the stall owner and smiled. "Senior Zhang, do you still remember me?"
The owner of the stall was an old man with a red face. He glanced at Li Dannan with a smile and said: "Little Rascal, what treasure have you taken a fancy to this old man's treasure?"
As the old man spoke, he casually glanced at Wang Lin. However, his eyes immediately narrowed and his pupils shrank.
With his cultivation level, he could tell at a glance that Wang Lin was not ordinary. He quickly got up and respectfully said, "Senior, junior's name is Zhang Hualin. I wonder what senior is looking for?"
Wang Lin looked at the red-faced old man and said, in a serious tone, "Earth Wood Stone!"
The red-faced old man was startled and said, "This item is very valuable. Junior is selling it on behalf of a friend. Before the friend left, he said that he wouldn't change the price and would only sell it for five top quality spirit stones!"
Li Dannan wryly smiled and said, "Five top quality spirit stones … This is an astronomical price. Aside from rank 7 cultivation countries, top quality spirit stones are very rare in rank 6 cultivation countries and below … Even in rank 7 cultivation countries, materials with better effects wouldn't cost this much."
The red-faced old man sighed. "This item is indeed too expensive, but my friend is stubborn, so I can't do anything about it. Senior, what do you think …"
Wang Lin pondered a bit and said, "Take it out and let me have a look."
The red-faced old man hesitated for a bit, then slapped his bag of holding and an item appeared in his hand. It was a green stone about the size of a palm. There were some patterns on it that looked like branches, as if there were plants growing on it.
Above the stone, there was a thin layer of light covering it. This was a spell that one had to learn in order to do business here. This spell was called the Confinement Seal. Once it was cast, it could prevent the buyer from forcibly taking away the item.
Unless the buyer's cultivation level was much higher than the caster's, it would take around ten breaths to break the spell. These ten breaths would play a key role in forcing the seller to put away the item.
Wang Lin waved his right hand and the stone flew out of the red-faced old man's hand and landed in Wang Lin's hand.
As for the thin layer of light, it didn't seem to have any reaction. After the world wood stone flew out, it shook and shattered.
The old man's expression changed and he sucked in a breath of cold air. He had already given this young man a very high cultivation level, but he didn't expect it to still be too low. This person's cultivation level was at least at the Soul Transformation stage!
Wang Lin held the world wood stone and carefully looked at it. After confirming that it was indeed the world wood stone, he waved his hand and put it away into his bag of holding.
"Senior …" The red-faced old man's expression was ugly.
Before he could finish speaking, five rhombus-shaped spirit stones that emitted a white glow appeared in front of him.
The red-faced old man immediately recognized that these five spirit stones were top quality spirit stones. He quickly put them away and carefully looked around. After making sure that no mortals were paying attention, he let out a sigh of relief.
When he looked at Wang Lin again, he could only see Wang Lin's back in the crowd.
The red-faced old man pondered for a bit. After staying here for half a day, he immediately packed up his stall and quickly left Ming Mei City. He knew that treasuring a jade ring was a crime. Five top quality spirit stones were enough to attract those mid Soul Formation cultivators to come after him.
He never thought that he would one day be able to sell the world wood stone.
As for Wang Lin, after he walked out of the market, he looked behind him with a calm expression. After he bought the world wood stone, he immediately felt three pairs of eyes looking at him like lightning.
Wang Lin calmly said, "Li Dannan!"
"Senior, junior is here!"
Li Dannan quickly walked up and respectfully said. His expression was even more serious than before. The scene of Wang Lin taking out the world wood stone had shocked him.
Wang Lin asked, "If there is a treasure being traded here, it will attract the attention of many people. Since that is the case, why are there so many cultivators here?"
Li Dannan quickly said, "Senior doesn't know, but the people who trade here are all powerful cultivators. Most of them don't come alone, so they aren't afraid of others spying on them.
As for those who are worried about this, they will find a reputable shop to sell it on their behalf. If they sell it, they can just come back and get it. This way, they can avoid some unnecessary trouble.
They can even hire a few cultivators from the city lord's mansion to protect them. However, since ancient times, too many people have been blinded by greed, so trading is risky. Everything depends on fate. "
Wang Lin let out a smile. This was his first time here, so he was a bit unfamiliar with this place. Back in the Sea of Devils, he was hunted down because of a pill furnace.
Wang Lin looked at the sky and asked, "Is there snow ink here?"
"Snow ink …" Li Dannan thought for a long time, but he had never heard of it. He wryly smiled and said, "Senior, junior doesn't know about it."
After he finished speaking, Li Dannan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Senior, although I don't know what snow ink is, in Ming Mei City, the Shang family's shop is known for collecting everything. Maybe they have it!"
"Oh?
Tell me about it. "Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and calmly said," This Shang family shop is the largest shop in Ming Mei City.
"This Shang family's shop is the biggest shop in Ming Mei city. It is ranked number one. Rumor has it that it has the support of a rank 7 cultivation country and has shops on many trade planets.
Anyone who sells, buys, or trades in their shop will be protected until they are millions of kilometers away from the planet. If there is a request, they can even be sent back to their home planet! "
After Wang Lin heard this, he nodded and said, "Lead the way!"
Li Dannan was very excited. He had been in Ming Mei City for many years, but he had only been to the northern part of the city twice. Both times, he didn't enter the Shang family's shop; he only went to the outer area. Only powerful cultivators could enter that area. Without enough wealth, one couldn't buy anything there.
With Li Dannan leading the way, the two of them quickly arrived at the northern part of the city. At a glance, they saw nine palace-like shops.
