Not long after, the two met at the door of the mission hall, and then Lin Fan took out a square magic weapon similar to a mobile phone. Out of curiosity, Hong Huang raised some questions.

"what is this?"

"I forgot to take you to get it. This is something that's unique to us in the Wu Sect. It's called the Universal Treasure. You can check everything, big or small, in the Wu Sect with this Universal Treasure. It's also very easy to use. Let me show you."

After saying that, Lin Fan told Hong Huang about the contents of the Universal Treasure that he was familiar with. Hong Huang naturally quickly mastered how to use the Universal Treasure. After all, this Universal Treasure was very similar to a mobile phone, and it even had game and short video software.

Although Wan Neng Bao is fun and useful, they have not forgotten their main business, which is to purchase supplies.

"What supplies do we want to purchase this time, where do we purchase them, and how much do we need to purchase?"

"Wait, let me look for it... We are going to the small town in the north of Wuzong to buy 1000 kilograms of watermelons. As for the expenses, all of them will be reimbursed by the sect, including the travel expenses."

"Watermelon? We cultivators eat watermelon. If we want to eat it, why don't we grow it ourselves?"

"Because watermelon is delicious. Who doesn't want to eat watermelon? As for why we don't grow it ourselves, it's because the spiritual lands of Wuzong are all used to grow medicinal herbs, so there's no room for watermelon. There's another reason. Tianxuan Continent has both immortal cultivators and mortals, and mortals account for the majority. Therefore, immortal cultivators must be inseparable from mortals. In addition, the universal currency of Tianxuan Continent is spirit stones. So when we go to mortals to buy supplies, we are helping ourselves and the mortals at the same time. It's a win-win situation."

After listening to Lin Fan's words, Hong Huang understood what Lin Fan meant, but he was even more surprised that Lin Fan could say so many sensible things.

But Lin Fan then resolved Hong Huang's doubts.

"I learned all this from Elder Wang in class. It seems my memory is pretty good."

Then they ended this simple conversation and set off for the small town in the north of Wuzong.

This town doesn't look prosperous judging from the buildings, but there are quite a few people in the town. Most of these people are mortals, but of course there are also cultivators like Hong Huang and Lin Fan.

Since they had never been here before, they just found a passerby to ask. The kind passerby told them the approximate location of the watermelon stall and then left.

In fact, when Hong Huang heard Lin Fan say that he wanted to purchase 1000 kilograms of watermelons, he was completely confused, because there would basically not be so many watermelons in a watermelon stall in a small town, so he was ready to go to various towns to buy watermelons.

But when he arrived at the melon stall, he was stunned by the scene before him. At a glance, there were at least a dozen melon stalls, and there were also many customers coming to buy watermelons. Fortunately, there were large gaps between the melon stalls here, so Hong Huang and Lin Fan could pass smoothly in front of each stall.

"How come there are so many watermelons in such a small town, and so many people are buying them? Is watermelon a hot commodity in the Profound Sky Continent?"

"As far as I know, watermelon production has only begun to increase in recent years. As for the best-selling product you mentioned, I've heard the term before, but now I've forgotten what it means. However, I only know that nowadays, both mortals and cultivators like to eat watermelon."

"Although watermelon is delicious, it's not that crazy that even high-level cultivators who have been fasting for a long time like to eat it?"

"Yes, and there's a legend about watermelons. It's said that in ancient times, there was a cultivator of mediocre talent who accidentally encountered a watermelon. Out of curiosity, he tried it. After that, for some unknown reason, his cultivation improved rapidly. He thought all this was the opportunity brought to him by the watermelon, so he carried a watermelon with him and tried one every day. Finally, after he ascended to immortality, he gave himself the resounding name, the Watermelon Immortal."

After hearing this, Hong Huang was already speechless. There were so many things to complain about that he didn't know where to start.

"So the reason why watermelons are so popular is because of this Watermelon Immortal?"

"Yes, although it's a bit illogical to say so, there were also some people after him who increased their strength after eating watermelon, just like him. However, only he saw a rapid improvement in his cultivation, while the others only increased their strength. Some people used him as an example to create many unique titles, such as Watermelon Bloodline, Innate Watermelon Holy Body, Watermelon Gang, etc."

"...Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go buy some melons."

In order to save time, Hong Huang and Lin Fan came to a melon stall with fewer customers. The owner of the melon stall was still lowering his head and teasing the ants on the ground.

"Boss, how much are you selling these melons for?" asked Hong Huang.

"Twenty spirit stones per pound." The owner of the melon stall still had his head down, fiddling with the ants, and didn't look up at the two of them.

When he heard that it was 20 spirit stones per pound, Hong Huang's originally relaxed face suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the stall owner with his mouth open.

Before talking to the melon stall owner, Hong Huang specifically asked Lin Fan about the value of spirit stones in the Tianxuan Continent. No matter whether they are cultivators or mortals, they all use the same currency in the Tianxuan Continent, that is, spirit stones. From the best magic weapons to the daily necessities, all are traded with spirit stones, so a watermelon that costs 20 spirit stones per pound has already exceeded the normal market price by several times.

However, Hong Huang did not intend to question the boss. He guessed that he might have misheard, so he jokingly said, "It's so expensive! Is the melon rind made of spirit stone, or is the melon seed made of spirit stone?"

Hearing Hong Huang's words, the melon stall owner immediately became unhappy and looked up at Hong Huang.

"These are all the magical melons from the mountain behind my house. Eating them can increase the chance of awakening the watermelon bloodline several times. You think it's too expensive, but I think it's too expensive too."

Hearing the answer from the melon stall owner, Hong Huang smiled. He did not think the melon stall owner was unreasonable, so he took Lin Fan away from the melon stall.

After this little episode, Hong Huang and Lin Fan went to another melon stall to buy melons. In the end, they successfully bought the weight of watermelons required for the sect's mission. In addition, every time Hong Huang bought melons from a melon stall, he would ask the owner of the stall the same question.

Although Lin Fan was puzzled, he did not interrupt Hong Huang while he was buying the melon. Instead, he raised his doubts to Hong Huang after buying the melon.

"What questions did you ask those melon vendors?"

"Do you still remember the melon stall that sold melons for 20 spirit stones per pound? I asked other melon stall owners about this melon stall owner and finally came to the conclusion that there was something wrong with this melon stall owner."
