As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

195 Trade Fair

Although Hundred Rivers City was not small, its spiritual energy was even thinner than that of Hongyang City. Mortals made up the majority of the population, and there were almost no cultivators.

Jiang Ming believed that this trade fair would not be very good.

However, they were already there. It would be a waste to not check it out.

The group followed Li Yuankang into a plain courtyard.

It was actually quite lively in the courtyard. There was actually a large-scale fair. There were stalls everywhere, and they had several unique items.

Many individual cultivators had already occupied the stall and displayed the items they wanted to sell. In addition, many individual cultivators were wandering around, bargaining with the shop owners from time to time. Jiang Ming looked over and saw that almost all of them were cultivators in the early stage of the Qi Refinement Realm. contemporary romance

As for the occasional appearance of a mid-stage Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, it was enough to make many people step back in respect.

He even saw that many young cultivators in the early stage of the Qi Refinement Realm were still using gold and silver when trading.

“They’re really down-to-earth!”

Jiang Ming was very happy.

His hands were starting to itch!

“Master Li, hello!”

A middle-aged, slightly fat cultivator with an extremely shrewd appearance suddenly shouted from the corner of the courtyard and greeted Li Yuankang with great enthusiasm.

“Let me introduce you to each other. This is the host of Hundred Rivers City’s trade fair, Zhou Quan!” Li Yuankang smiled and introduced Jiang Ming and the others to the middle-aged cultivator Zhou Quan. “These are all fellow cultivators from Xiaoqian Mountain, you have to treat them well!”

“Of course!” Zhou Quan agreed with a fiery look in his eyes.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of a large number of local individual cultivators. One must know that Zhou Quan’s cultivation level was at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Realm. He had controlled this trade market for many years and was basically a god in the eyes of many individual cultivators. They had almost never seen him treat other individual cultivators with such enthusiasm.

“That old man must be at the late stage of the Qi Refinement Realm.” Many of the wandering cultivators were shocked. They were even more in awe of Zhou Quan now. If he could be associated with a cultivator at the late stage of the Qi Refinement Realm, he had to be powerful.

Zhou Quan naturally saw this scene as well. He could not help but be overjoyed. He had sent the invitation to test the waters. However, he did not expect that Li Yuankang would really accept it. Even if he did not buy anything, Zhou Quan’s prestige here would be even higher in the future.

“However, I still need to work harder. It’s best if I can pique the interest of these people. In the future, if they can come here occasionally, that would be even better!”

Individual cultivators were also divided into different levels. In Zhou Quan’s eyes, the group of individual cultivators from Xiaoqian Mountain, including Li Yuankang, were obviously stronger than him. If it were not for the situation in Xiaoqian Mountain, who would come to his corner? This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Zhou Quan gritted his teeth and said, “Friends, feel free to walk around. If you need anything, please let me know. I’ve also prepared a demonic beast feast to welcome you. In addition, I’ve obtained a few items that I’d like you to have a look at! One of them is a relic that was brought out from the Black Rock Ruins more than twenty years ago!”

“What?”

“Really?”

Previously, the crowd was still calm and composed. Some of them even snubbed the trade fair. However, at this moment, they were all shocked and looked at Zhou Quan.

Even Li Yuankang was surprised. “The last time the ruins opened, due to the appearance of the voice of a powerful person giving a lecture, the prices of the items brought out of the ruins skyrocketed. I heard that when one carefully refined many relics obtained from the ruins, one could faintly hear the voice. You actually managed to bring a relic here?”

“It was an old friend of mine who went into the ruins to explore and risked his life to bring it back. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured and seemed to be dying. Thus, he could only entrust it to me.” Zhou Quan sighed.

No one could tell if his feelings were genuine. However, no one cared. They were all interested in the relic.

In the past, the Black Rock Ruins were not paid much attention to. However, ever since it opened a few decades ago, it had become very famous. Even extremely powerful sects had sent people to find relics in the ruins, making it even more famous.

Many individual cultivators had brought some relics out of the ruins and were lucky enough to make a fortune. Now, these relics were extremely rare and expensive.

At the very least, none of the people present had seen a relic before.

A moment later, Zhou Quan left to make preparations. Li Yuankang and the others casually strolled around the place. Occasionally, they would spend a little money. After all, the difference between this place and the round valley market in Xiaoqian Mountain was still quite big.

Jiang Ming also strolled around. However, he was in the mood to spend money. When he saw something he wanted, he would buy it, which attracted the individual cultivators in the market to treat him with great enthusiasm.

The people who came with Jiang Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Some of the things looked ridiculously fake. He picked up a flying sword. It looked a little less fake better because it was decorated with jade and golden detailing. Jiang Ming took it without even blinking.

People looked at him and sighed. Maybe he was just a stupid rich man.

Jiang Ming felt their gazes and could not help but sneer in his heart. He knew that in a few thousand years, he could make a fortune by selling this.

“Eh? There’s something interesting here!”

Jiang Ming was at a stall selling herbs when he suddenly saw a spirit herb seed.

“Is this a green jade lotus seed?” he asked in surprise.

The shop owner was an old cultivator with calluses on his hands and a tanned face. It was obvious that he was a farmer. He quickly said, “You have a sharp eye. This is indeed the seed of the green jade lotus.”

Then, he hesitated for a moment before saying, “However, it grows very slowly, and its medicinal effects are not as good as other spirit herbs. You can take a look at the other spirit herbs I have here.”

“Farmers are honest.” Jiang Ming glanced at him and suddenly felt that he could trust him.

He smiled and said, “It just so happens that I’m looking for this herb for alchemy. I’ll take it. What’s the price?”

The old cultivator was also happy when he heard this. It was obvious that this seed was not easy to sell. He quickly said, “Ten taels of gold will do!”

Jiang Ming happily paid him, put the seed into his bag, and left with satisfaction.

The effect of the green jade lotus was indeed ordinary. However, there was a legend about it. Perhaps many people had heard of it. Even so, they did not care much about it. Nonetheless, for Jiang Ming, it was the most suitable herb for him to grow.
