Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 29 Marketplace and Purple

To enter the market, you also need to pay spirit stones.

However, since Zhang Yan is a disciple of the Qingheng Sect, he was exempted from receiving spirit stones.

However, other members of the Liu family were not entitled to such treatment.

Fortunately, the price is not expensive; each person only needs one spirit stone per day.

Moreover, upon entering, they were told that they could not cultivate here at will; otherwise, they would be permanently expelled from the market, or their cultivation would be abolished.

The reason for this regulation is that there is a second-tier spiritual vein in the market, which needs to supply spiritual energy to the market's grand formation on a daily basis. Without this regulation, the spiritual vein would be unable to support so many cultivators cultivating together.

However, if one rents an inn or cave dwelling in the market, one can use the spiritual veins in the market to cultivate.

But it's very expensive, and most people can't afford such a luxury.

Entered Fangshi.

A lively commotion immediately arose from the surroundings.

"Spirit rice, spirit rice! Freshly ripened spirit rice, cheap price, hurry and buy!"

"A late-stage Tier 1 demonic beast has been discovered in the wild. Anyone willing to join the hunt, please sign up!"

"Selling ritual implements, ancestral ritual implements!"

The Qingheng Market and the market within the sect are completely different things.

The most obvious manifestation of this is that the market within the sect is almost completely quiet, with everyone selling their wares at a stall as they please.

The stall owners in this Qingheng Market are more like the street vendors of the past, with shouts and curses filling the air.

The reason for the difference between the two is quite simple.

Most people in the sect are engaged in cultivation, and only occasionally go to the market to sell their own creations or exchange items.

However, the people in Qingheng Market are all people sent out by various families in the Tianmu Mountains to do business.

Or perhaps it's a rogue cultivator who has finally accumulated some savings and wants to make a fortune in the market.

"We have a total of one day. You are free to do as you please. Come back and meet us in the afternoon." The Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Liu family spoke up as soon as he saw the eager looks in everyone's eyes.

"Be careful not to cause trouble, otherwise if you get caught by the Qingheng Sect's law enforcement disciples, there's nothing I can do," the Liu family elder warned again.

"Yes, elder."

The Liu family cultivator immediately nodded excitedly.

The younger generation, in particular, were very interested in the market and couldn't wait any longer. Upon receiving the elder's order, they immediately scattered.

Only Zhang Yan and the Foundation Establishment Elder remained.

After exchanging a few words, Zhang Yan chose to go on his own.

He walked into the crowd.

Zhang Yan took out a bamboo hat from his storage bag and put it on his head.

Then I equipped the Mask of Concealment in my equipment slot.

In this way, others will not know who he is.

However, this is just a safety measure and is basically unnecessary.

You must understand, this is a market town.

Moreover, this market town is called Qingheng Market Town.

Not only is the Golden Core Ancestor in charge of the market, but there is also a patrol team composed of Qingheng Sect disciples who patrol constantly.

You are unlikely to encounter any danger.

Given his status as a disciple of the Qingheng Sect, it's already a blessing that he doesn't bully others in Qingheng Market.

I wandered around with the crowd.

Zhang Yan could only say that Qingheng Market truly lived up to its reputation as the only market in Tianmu Mountain; there were just too many people here.

This is precisely why it has gathered a large number of strange and unusual things.

Don’t say anything else.

Even the Qingheng Sect has set up collection points in the market to know how many rare and precious materials are produced here every day.

And along the way.

He not only saw all sorts of magical artifacts.

They even saw talismans, formations, pills, and even living demonic beasts and their corpses.

Unfortunately, those magical artifacts didn't have any outstanding affixes. Instead, they collected a few rare spiritual herbs, intending to transplant them back and cultivate them.

It would be great if we could open a store specializing in secondhand Buddhist artifacts here.

Zhang Yan sighed.

But he also knew that this was simply unrealistic.

Every shop in Qingheng Market is a golden goose.

Moreover, they all belong to the Qingheng School.

Only powerful and influential families were qualified to purchase shops from the Qingheng Sect.

The remaining shops all require rent payments.

The rent for just one year can cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of spirit stones.

He simply can't afford it.

Moreover, the market for secondhand Buddhist artifacts is rife with problems.

He might buy some magical artifacts with special inscriptions for his own use, which is fine, but if he wanted to open a dedicated secondhand magical artifact shop, he'd be ripped off without even knowing why.

……

"and……"

"Why are the entries for these people's secondhand magical artifacts so strange?"

Zhang Yan had a toothache.

There are so many bizarre entries on these secondhand magical artifacts.

Entries often include terms like "vulnerable" and "prodigy in unauthorized work".

The so-called "vulnerable" means that after equipping this item, there is a greater chance that the magic item will be damaged when used.

The "Mining Prodigy" item is attached to a pickaxe.

Once equipped, he becomes an unparalleled genius in mining.

In response, Zhang Yan could only say that these entries weren't entirely useless; at the very least, they could annoy him a little.

They wandered around for a long time.

Zhang Yan suddenly spotted a decent secondhand magical artifact.

It was a ring.

[Equipment Name]: Flame Ring
[Equipment Quality]: Green
[Equipment Effect]: Flame Attachment (your attacks will be inflicted with a layer of fire element), Flame Impact (after use, a flame impact will be generated centered on you).

"This is good."

Zhang Yan's eyes lit up when he saw the blazing ring.

This Flame Ring is a mid-grade magic artifact, priced at around three to five hundred spirit stones.

However, considering that second-hand magical artifacts will depreciate in price.

Therefore, it should only cost a little over a hundred spirit stones to buy.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan had worked at the stone-cutting quarry for a period of time and had earned a lot of contribution points.

He had exchanged all those contribution points for spirit stones before he came to the market.

He now has over three hundred spirit stones on him.

It's more than enough to buy this Flame Ring.

After negotiating with the other party, Zhang Yan spent 103 spirit stones to purchase the Blazing Ring.

It's worth mentioning that the effect of this Flame Ring is actually to instantly cast a Fire Serpent spell.

Its power is roughly equivalent to a strike from a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

Therefore, this Flame Ring is considered a decent magical artifact.

He accepted the Flame Ring with satisfaction.

Zhang Yan was strolling around, preparing to leave, but as soon as he turned around, his eyes were immediately drawn to something in front of a stall.

He couldn't move at all.

It was a piece of iron, but in Zhang Yan's eyes, it shimmered with a purple light!
