Chapter 48: Insights and Enlightenment

It was the same as what Gu Yan had seen before.

When the passenger ship arrived at the place where the thick fog was, the boatman took out a talisman and stuck it on the bow of the boat.

The talisman flashed, as if it had passed the verification.

The thick fog surrounding the ship slowly dissipated, revealing a small island in the water.

The ignorant girl was amazed when she saw this and looked at the old woman.

Maybe this is all common sense.

The old woman didn't avoid the crowd and said to the girl, "This is a spiritual formation. It can not only seal off the island to prevent mortals from entering, but also confine the surrounding spiritual energy. Don't you feel that the spiritual energy around you is much richer?"

The girl's eyes flashed, and she exclaimed, "The spiritual energy here is at least several times richer than the deep mountains we are in."

The old woman rolled her eyes and said no more.

If we continue talking like this, this silly granddaughter might even reveal her address.

That's it.

After getting the necessary things, I'll take this silly granddaughter out to see some blood and gain some experience, so that she won't remain so naive and hurt herself and others.

The girl was probably too well protected by her family, or it was her first time going out.

Not understanding what the old woman meant, he asked foolishly, "Grandma, can we live here in the future?"

"Hahaha."

A burly man with a full beard beside him couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Little kid, guess why this Shuizefang is only open three days a month? Isn't it because there's not enough spiritual energy to support so many cultivators? That's why they set this rule. If you want to stay, you can. Practice a hundred arts. If you're good at one, you can sign a contract with the owner and stay."

The girl's eyes lit up with joy when she heard that.

It was only after the old woman glared that she shut her mouth.

Although this silly woman didn't say anything, her surprised look was clearly seen by everyone.

Is this a skill?
time left.

The passenger ship became eerily quiet.

Gu Yan stood in the corner and just watched the farce silently.

He clearly remembered that the wronged soul in the Corpse Refining Cave had said that the seven aristocratic families of the Lin Kingdom were all families under the Demon Sect.

In this kind of place, what good things can those who practice cultivation come into contact with?

After he used the Eye of Sin to check, he felt only excitement.

These fools had better not have any bad thoughts.

It’s really hard to say between prey and hunter.

After entering the thick fog, the passenger ship was close to the island.

It only takes a short while.

They arrived.

People disembarked and the boat left.

Looking at the outline of the island from the outside, it doesn't look very large.

However, after arriving on the island, I found that even though it was not a large area, most of the area was covered by thick fog. Only the area where the dock and the buildings on the island were located was blank, allowing people to move around freely.

A group of people walked towards the buildings on the island.

Just a few steps.

There is a memorial archway with the words "Shuizefang" written on it.

Below are several lines of spiritual text, plus common and mundane text:

People who come to the island are not allowed to fight privately, otherwise they will be killed.

We only guarantee that the goods in the shops on the island are genuine. Stall transactions are entirely based on your own eyesight and you bear the profit and loss yourself.

When leaving, you can just leave directly. If you don't have the ability to fly across water, you can also lead a small boat to leave.

When leaving the island, the monastery will no longer provide shelter.

If you are a talisman master, senior spiritual farmer, alchemist, formation master, or weapon refiner, you can come directly to the abbot's cave for an interview and you will receive preferential treatment.

Gu Yan looked at it and nodded.

This at least shows that there is order on the island.

As you step into the town, you'll see an area that resembles a village street.

There are a few scattered buildings on both sides, but not many people go in.

Most people gathered at the stalls on both sides of the street.

Some people were strolling around. When someone arrived, they skillfully found a spot, spread out the things they brought, and set up a stall.

In general.

The total number of people here is probably only over a hundred.

Gu Yan followed the crowd, going back and forth between stalls.

Most of the things displayed on those stalls were plant materials that he didn't recognize, or just bottles and jars with labels on them. Occasionally, there would be a few talismans and pills on display, and a crowd would immediately gather around them.

Gu Yan:
Why do I feel so low?

The spiritual eyes swept over.

These cultivators are all below the third level of Qi training.

He suddenly felt that he might be quite wealthy among this group of monks.

Wandered around twice.

Gu Yan unlocked a new item: Spirit Stone.

It was a colorful jade stone that was about the size of a fingernail. It didn't seem to have much spiritual energy, but it was very expensive. One piece could be exchanged for two talismans that Gu Yan didn't recognize, so it had great purchasing power.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a single spirit stone.

There were people setting up stalls and buying spirit stones with silver, but there were basically no customers coming.

In addition, Gu Yan discovered that there were cultivators in the market who had reached the third level of Qi training or the third level of body training or above.

Instead, after arriving at the market town, these people basically just took a stroll around and then disappeared into the thick fog, as if they had gone to another place.

Another point is that the spiritual eye technique should be used with caution.

This technique is fine for cultivators below the third level of Qi training, and the opponent will basically not notice it. However, once you open your eyes to look at cultivators above the third level of Qi training, it will immediately attract the opponent's attention, and the opponent may even warn you with a murderous look.

The reason why Gu Yan knew this was because he had been warned once.

Another walk around.

Gu Yan came to a small stall and whispered, "I'm a newcomer to the world of immortal cultivation. I want to learn some common sense..."

The stall owner was an old man with a goatee.

Seeing the guests coming, he smiled and said:

"No problem. What do you want to know? Do you want to know about the common knowledge that can be purchased with silver, or the rare knowledge that can be purchased with spirit stones?
This is also the first piece of common sense I give you for free: in the world of immortal cultivation, harmless knowledge and information are valuable, even common sense. "

Gu Yan only had banknotes and had no choice at all.

He took out all the banknotes he had and handed them to the old man: "Then I'll ask you. When you think the money is gone, the deadline will be. This is all I have."

The old man took the banknote and wiped it with his fingers.

A faint light flashed on the silver note.

Gu Yan was wearing a bamboo hat, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly. However, the old man seemed to have guessed his thoughts and said with a smile, "These silver notes aren't just issued whenever you want. Whether it's the Lin Kingdom or the Wei Kingdom, the owners behind the silver notes are all aristocratic families from various regions. After gold and silver are refined, they can be used as materials for refining weapons. This is why low-level cultivators also use gold and silver as a means of transaction."

As he spoke, he also explained, "In addition to its value in refining tools, gold and silver also have some additional value. You should be from Lin Country, so you know the Liu family of Jisong Prefecture and the Qian family of Guang'an Prefecture. Do you think the secular order in Lin Country is acceptable?"

Gu Yan nodded.

Of course he knew.

The Liu family is the largest shareholder among his original accumulation.

In addition, as he traveled along, he found that most of the places where the population of Lin Kingdom gathered still had basic order, and the order in those big cities was very strict, so ordinary warriors did not dare to commit crimes at will.

"This is for the sake of mindfulness. The seven countries surrounding us are all under the influence of the White Bone Sect. The White Bone Sect is not the Flesh and Blood Demon Sect, so the Five Elements cultivation method they circulate focuses more on the mindfulness of all living beings. For example, the Liu family of Jisong Prefecture I just mentioned, they have a method to condense the mindfulness of all living beings. As for what it is used for, I can't tell you. This information requires spirit stones."

Gu Yan spread his hands, indicating that he had no spirit stones.

Seeing this, the old man was slightly disappointed and continued, "The Qian family is also the same, but with a difference. The silver and copper objects in circulation all contain the thoughts of all living beings, encompassing all seven emotions and six desires. For the White Bone Sect, these are all good things, so a stable order is conducive to their practice."

Gu Yan suddenly understood, so that's how it is.

It seems that the Liu family's guest officials are also part of the Liu family's cultivation.

They are all leeks.

Next.

The old man continued to explain some common sense in the spiritual world.

When Gu Yan left, he was already feeling a little dizzy.

It’s not about too much knowledge.

Instead, Gu Yan heard a piece of news from the old man, knowing that he was going to get rich.
