My Seven Sisters Are Stunningly Beautiful (The Return of the Gods)

Inside the inn, Lu Yun leaned against a rustic wooden table, playing with a piece of hollow stone that emitted a faint fluorescence.

The surface of the stone is as smooth as a mirror, and occasionally it exudes a hint of ethereal aura that seems to be able to capture people's hearts.

Lu Yun's lips curled up into a meaningful smile and he muttered to himself.

"No wonder. With my quasi-saint cultivation, I should be able to roam freely in this world, but I didn't expect that there are still some blind guys who come to provoke me from time to time. It turns out that it's all the work of this Kongming Stone."

Lu Yun gently rotated the stone in his hand. Its light seemed to fluctuate with his mood, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

"The aura of Sky Island is really amazing. It makes my cultivation become confusing in the eyes of others, always giving people the illusion that I am in the early stage of Golden Immortal. Hey, this is quite interesting."

After putting away the Kongming Stone, Lu Yun stood up, his robe swaying gently with his movements, revealing a casual and unrestrained manner.

Lu Yun stretched lazily, the sunlight shining through the window lattice, sprinkling on his face in patches, bringing a bit of early morning comfort.

What happened last night made him realize that if he wanted to move freely in this strange land, he must first understand the rules here, especially the information about currency and transportation.

Words like Originium swirled in his mind, suggesting that the world he lived in was different from the world of cultivation he had previously known.

"Waiter, come here." Lu Yun called out, his voice sounding a little lazy but also revealing a majesty that could not be ignored.

Upon hearing the voice, the waiter immediately trotted over with an attentive look on his face, as if he was already accustomed to the guests' various needs.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" The waiter bowed and said respectfully.

Lu Yun smiled slightly, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Little Second Brother, I'm new here, and I want to ask where the market is in Ming City? I need to buy some things, and I also want to know more about the local currency circulation."

When the waiter heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face, which soon turned into a smile of understanding.

"Oh, it's obvious that this is your first time in Ming City. There is no traditional market here. Buying and selling things depends on one place - Duobao Pavilion."

"Duobao Pavilion is the largest chamber of commerce in our city. It has everything from cultivation resources, daily necessities, and even rare treasures."

Lu Yun raised his eyebrows and became very interested in the three words "Duobao Pavilion".

"Duobao Pavilion? It sounds quite interesting. So what kind of currency do I need to trade in Duobao Pavilion?"

"When I entered the city yesterday, I heard the guards mention 'Source Stone' and that accommodation would require mid-grade Spirit Stones. This is different from what I knew before."

The waiter rubbed his hands, looking as if he was used to it.

"Sir, you may not know that the main currency in circulation here is Spirit Stones. Origin Stones are high-end goods, usually used for large-scale transactions or the exchange of rare items."

"As for the middle-grade spirit stones, they are indeed the common currency for ordinary transactions. Low-grade spirit stones are not widely circulated in this city. If you have other treasures, you can also go to Duobao Pavilion to have them appraised and exchange them for spirit stones."

Lu Yun stood at the threshold of the inn, the sunlight shining on his shoulders, reflecting a sense of leisure.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the bustling crowd on the street, feeling curious.

"Mingcheng is so prosperous, but why aren't there any small vendors setting up stalls? Logically speaking, this kind of atmosphere is the true portrayal of city life."

The waiter was arranging the tables and chairs nearby. Hearing this, he chuckled with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hey, sir, you don't know that this Duobao Pavilion is very powerful. It is not just a chamber of commerce, but more like the commercial heart of this city."

"They buy everything from an embroidery needle to a rare elixir, and they give a fair price. As time went by, everyone wanted to save trouble and sell their goods directly to Duobao Pavilion, so they didn't have to set up a stall to sell their goods."

Hearing this, Lu Yun smiled slightly, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

"So, Duobao Pavilion has become a real 'department store'? That's really convenient."

"Of course, but," the waiter lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious.

"For those things that are not suitable to be put out in the open, such as forbidden magic tools, some special materials, and even some information, people will still secretly take them to the black market for trading. But the black market is so hidden that even I don't know its exact location."

Lu Yun waved his hand, indicating that it was all right. "Let's not talk about the black market for now. Please let me know the location of Duobao Pavilion. I just happen to have something I want to sell."

Lu Yun had a plan in mind.

He took out a small jade bottle from his arms. The jade bottle was warm all over, and there seemed to be spiritual liquid rolling inside, making a slight humming sound.

"Little Second Brother, look at this thing, can you exchange it for some spirit stones at Duobao Pavilion?"

The waiter took the jade bottle, examined it carefully, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, this is the best soul nourishing liquid, which is a good thing for soul-refining cultivators. Sir, I'm afraid that this bottle of yours can be exchanged for a lot of spirit stones in Duobao Pavilion."

Lu Yun nodded with satisfaction and took back the jade bottle: "It seems that I have to go to this Duobao Pavilion myself. By the way, Xiaoerge, how do I get to this Duobao Pavilion?"

The waiter hurriedly pointed the way.

"Duobao Pavilion is located in the city center. Go east after you leave the inn, go straight for three streets, cross the bluestone bridge, and you will find the building with dragons and phoenixes carved on it on the right. Sir, you have to be careful, there are many people in Duobao Pavilion, and there are all kinds of people."

Lu Yun smiled slightly, with something in mind.

"Thank you for the directions, little brother. I will be careful. By the way, where is the teleportation array in this city? I may need to travel far in the future."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal.

"The teleportation array is an important place. It is not in the city. We have to go to the Tianxing Palace in the north of the city. However, the cost of using the teleportation array is not cheap. It has to be calculated in Originium."

Lu Yun nodded in thanks and silently memorized the information in his heart.

He stood up and straightened his clothes. He was wearing a simple yet elegant black gown. His every move revealed a temperament that transcended the world.

"Okay, little brother, I'll be back soon. If we're destined to meet again, we'll meet again."

Lu Yun walked through the crowd with light steps.

After a while, he arrived in front of Duobao Pavilion. He looked up and sighed in his heart that this building was indeed extraordinary.

As you step into Duobao Pavilion, the view suddenly opens up. The interior is luxuriously decorated and the variety of goods is dazzling.

Lu Yun strolled around aimlessly, hearing the enthusiastic sales pitches of the shop assistants and the bargaining of the customers, the place was extremely lively.

Lu Yun walked into the depths of Duobao Pavilion, which was an elegantly decorated and private trading room, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
