Chapter 30 Wan Gui Hai Shi
We flew for a day and a night.
The sea was calm and sunny, and the scent of spring wafted from afar. Jiang Yuan saw a vast continent floating on the sea.
That continent had cities, population, and shops along its coast, with countless ships anchored in its ports, making it far more prosperous than the inland areas.
"There are giant steel ships."
Jiang Yuanfei moved aside and saw a giant ship, as big as a mountain, sail past. Thousands of people walked around like ants, and the deck was made of solid steel.
It's truly amazing.
Seeing the incredible strength of mortals in a world of supernatural beings is also a kind of myth.
"These giant steel ships belong to the Tai Xuan Empire, the number one empire in the world. They conduct trade with the Wan Gui Sea Market every year."
"They transport medicinal herbs they cultivate, buy rare treasures from the sea, and even transport magic crystals. These massive steel ships cut through the waves and travel thousands of miles a day."
As Jiang Yuan explained, he was also lost in thought, wondering what the Taiyi Empire was really like, with its many auction houses selling treasures.
From magic crystal pills to Dao artifacts, everything is up for auction.
He must go there when he has time.
"Taiyi Empire?"
"The Taiyi Sect's directly subordinate empire? That's truly impressive. Their emperors are all giants of the Longevity Realm, completely different from ordinary mortal dynasties."
Fang Han nodded. The dynasty was originally a mortal empire, but the Taiyi Empire was a dynasty established by cultivators.
It can rival many Taoist sects.
"Yes, and the White Yang Pill first became popular in the Taiyi Empire, and then spread to the entire Xuanhuang Great World as a currency."
Jiang Yuan clicked his tongue and said, "If we go there, we'll have grain, so how can we not pay taxes?"
"Fang Han, go to the Xuan Turtle Palace, the largest shop on the continent, to collect the bounty and exchange it for a suitable treasure."
"I want to go explore other places."
Jiang Yuan waved his hand, and the corpse of the Island Lord of Doom flew towards Fang Han, along with some spiritual artifacts, magic robes, and thirty-six flying swords.
These are all hard currency; they can be used to exchange for all the treasures that are worth taking from the Xuan Turtle Palace.
Fang Han nodded and flew off in that direction with the sack of corpses and the witch.
Jiang Yuan then put away the flying boat and used the power of his magic robe to fly to the other side of the market.
Jiang Yuan asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to the Xuan Turtle Shop to get all the treasures from the original story?"
"It's alright," Jiang Yuan said casually. "With Fang Han around, we can get all the treasures we're supposed to have."
"After all, he is the protagonist of this world."
"But we're different," Jiang Yuan said, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"The treasures Fang Han has are a fixed source of income, but the extra income we get by picking up bargains at the market is."
Jiang Yuan nodded, "That's true."
"So how much money have you prepared?"
"Two thousand Essence Pills, a huge sum of money!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed excitedly.
"...A huge sum of money?" Jiang Yuan closed the book in his hand and said speechlessly.
Two thousand essence pills wouldn't even buy a single spiritual artifact here.
"How can this not be a huge sum of money?" Jiang Yuan argued. "Two thousand Essence Pills could buy a city in a secular dynasty and make you an uncrowned king."
Jiang Yuan remained silent for a moment, then looked up at the sky and sighed.
"The Feathered Gate."
"So poor."
Jiang Yuan's face twitched slightly, but he didn't argue this time, because the salary given by the Feathered Ascension Sect was really too meager.
He could only try his best to squeeze out as much money as possible.
"Let's just treat it as a trip. At least Fang Han's side is guaranteed a good income, no matter what." Jiang Yuan was also exhausted and sighed.
The market gates were all open, with only the outer disciples of Wan Gui Island, dressed in armor and carrying long halberds, patrolling there.
One after another, golden and jade pillars stretched out, the ground was made of jade, and the market was as large as several streets.
Disciples at the peak of the Physical Body Realm set up stalls, displaying all sorts of treasures they had obtained during their adventures, and hawked them here.
Wan Gui Hai Shi is located near Gui Xu, and it contains various relics and treasures. Every day, people emerge alive from there to sell their treasures to Wan Gui Hai Shi.
Some items were of uncertain value in Wan Guihai Market, and the prices offered were very low, so the cultivators took those items to the market to sell.
Jiang Yuan handed over ten Essence Pills and walked in.
The first stall displayed various types of Gu worms, including Ice Crystal Gu, Iron Blood Gu, and Three-Ring Poison-Eating Gu worms...
The stall owner was a middle-aged man with only one eye. Seeing Jiang Yuan's extraordinary demeanor, he quickly put on a smiling face and said:
"My esteemed immortal, these Gu worms are all top-quality, excellent for cultivating various supernatural abilities. Would you like to take a look?"
"I repair the waterways." Jiang Yuan shook his head, ignoring him.
He hasn't practiced any demonic arts, so what use are these Gu worms to him?
Inside the market, there were hundreds of stalls selling a wide variety of goods, including beautiful mermaid slave girls from the sea, as well as seashells and stones that were crystal clear, allowing cultivators to gamble on whether the pearls inside were rare treasures.
There were also flames, rare and exotic waters, ancient relics and remnants, egg sellers, magic sword vendors, and all sorts of other strange and wonderful things.
Jiang Yuan watched with great interest, but unfortunately these treasures were only useful to cultivators at the second level of the Divine Power Realm.
That's all.
"The real treasures are all in the Xuan Gui Palace," Jiang Yuan remarked.
"Not necessarily," Jiang Yuan suddenly said with a smile.
He walked through the void, as if he were a divine being, with ancient relics and artifacts passing before him one by one.
He reached out to identify it, but it suddenly disappeared into a damaged jade ruyi.
Jiang Yuan quickly followed to ensure that he remained within three zhang of him.
In this way, Jiang Yuan could travel further inside that broken jade ruyi.
He waited there for a while.
The stall owner was a middle-aged woman with a stern face. Seeing Jiang Yuan standing in front of her stall, she spoke:
"Fellow Daoist, what treasures do you wish to acquire? If you wish to gamble with remnants of ancient ruins, the price is two hundred White Yang Pills per attempt."
Jiang Yuan then realized that the middle-aged woman in front of him was also a cultivator at the Divine Power Realm, although she was only at the first level of the Magic Power Realm.
But even in this market town, it is still an extraordinary high-level repair.
Her stall displayed numerous spiritual herbs and pearls, packaged in transparent jade boxes, exuding a captivating spiritual aura; these were her main treasures.
But next to it, there was a white jade table, used to hold various ancient relics and fragments.
The broken jade ruyi was placed there.
Jiang Yuan found it quite amusing, touched the Essence Pill in his sleeve, and asked, "Do you accept Essence Pills?"
The middle-aged woman's expression changed slightly, and she became respectful, saying, "So you are a senior cultivator from the Feathered Ascension Sect. I will naturally accept you as my disciple."
"Two thousand Essence Pills will suffice."
That's really expensive.
Jiang Yuan sighed inwardly. He should say he was really poor. Two hundred White Yang Pills could be exchanged for two thousand Essence Pills, which was already considered a discount from a middle-aged woman.
Generally speaking, it takes more than a dozen Essence Pills to exchange for one White Yang Pill.
He nodded and handed over a small bag.
The middle-aged woman respectfully accepted it and obediently handed over the broken jade ruyi.
Although she had many thoughts in her mind, she felt that this broken jade ruyi might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
However, she dared not harbor any rebellious thoughts in front of the true disciples of the Feathered Ascension Sect.
Jiang Yuan grabbed the broken jade ruyi, intending to leave.
Suddenly, a gasp erupted within the market, the air thick with the aura of precious treasures, and the very essence of heaven and earth surged violently.
Jiang Yuan looked over and saw a beautiful woman at a scallop betting stall proudly displaying a top-grade magic weapon she had just obtained.
