The Legend of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai

It's hard to imagine that the lush green Wendao Mountain is actually a hidden paradise, bustling with vendors hawking their wares and throngs of customers.

This is one of the four holy lands in the secular world of cultivation, where too many historical events have taken place.

If you want to understand the overall strength of the secular cultivation world, then coming here is a very good choice.

The Southern Ridge Assembly, the Western Mountain Assembly, the Eastern Plains Assembly, and the Northern Wilderness Assembly. These four sacred grounds of the secular cultivation world are all extraordinary, each representing the overall strength of the secular cultivation world.

However, as history has progressed, the Dongyuan Conference and the Beihuang Conference have become slightly weaker than the Nanling Conference and the Xishan Conference.

The Northern Wilderness Assembly is located in the north, and the venue is within a level-nine spatial array. The north is cold, and its population is much smaller compared to the south. Although cultivators from all directions gather there for the assembly, it would be considered quite good if 100,000 people participated.

The Eastern Plains Assembly is located in the east, and its venue is on an island. It is quite troublesome for cultivators whose cultivation level is lower than the Foundation Establishment Realm to travel there and back. Although the number of participants is much larger than that of the Northern Wilderness Assembly, it is still far fewer than that of the Southern Ridge Assembly and the Western Mountain Assembly.

The Xishan Conference is located in the west, and its venue is a cluster of dozens of mountain peaks. It is relatively close to the entrance and exit of the Divine Land of Immortals. Each conference attracts at least tens of thousands of people, second only to the Nanling Conference. However, due to its proximity to the Divine Land of Immortals, its scale is in no way inferior to that of the Nanling Conference.

The Nanling Conference is located in the south, and the venue is inside a large mountain. Each conference attracts cultivators from the south and the east, with more than 100,000 participants.

Some have said that the Dongyuan Conference will eventually merge with the Nanling Conference.

that's the truth.

Since the Dongyuan Conference is located on an island, and the Nanling Conference is located in the south-southeast direction, not too far south, cultivators from both the south and the east basically take the Nanling Conference as their center.

The Nanling Conference is the longest ever held, lasting more than half a month, and it is a grand occasion.

When Liang Shanbo arrived here, he learned that the Nanling Conference would last for half a month. If he had known that, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to come. If he had broken through to the Golden Core Realm and flown here, none of this would have happened.

For others, breaking through to the Golden Core Realm might take twenty or thirty years of cultivation, but it's different for him. With the Daoist Manual, ten or eight days is enough.

At the time, he didn't ask Gu Yuege about the specific time of the Nanling Conference, but considering Gu Yuege's drunken state, asking would probably be pointless.

They come, the security.

Shaking his head, Liang Shanbo stopped thinking about the ill-fated encounter with Gu Yueyao that followed.

Gu Yueyao led the way, suggesting Liang Shanbo go to the sixth or seventh floor to buy things, but Liang Shanbo said there was no rush, there was plenty of time, so he would take his time browsing and start from the second floor. Although Gu Yueyao muttered that there was nothing worth browsing on the second floor, she had no choice but to follow along.

The second floor is a place where cultivators freely buy and sell goods, essentially a private market.

Wearing a white veil and a bamboo hat, Gu Yueyao linked arms with Liang Shanbo, and the two strolled around, looking here and there, enjoying the scenery.

"Huh? There are actually two Herbal Jelly Plants here."

He didn't know how long he had been browsing, but he shook his head and looked down on all the various spiritual herbs, fruits, pills, magic treasures, and antiques on the stalls. Until now, he suddenly saw a level nine spiritual herb mixed in with a pile of level one and two spiritual herbs, and his eyes lit up.

The stall owner clearly didn't recognize the herb "Burning Immortal Grass" and didn't know it was a level nine spiritual herb. He was probably going to get a good deal from it.

Burning Immortal Grass, also known as Fire Flame Grass, is a highly yang-type spiritual herb among the ninth-grade spiritual herbs. It is a main ingredient in many elixirs, including the Exploding Spirit Golden Elixir and the Exploding Infant Elixir.

The Exploding Spirit Golden Pill allows cultivators in the Golden Core realm to advance their cultivation by three minor realms unconditionally, as if they had taken a miraculous elixir. The Exploding Infant Pill, on the other hand, is a pill for cultivators in the Nascent Soul realm, allowing them to advance by one minor realm unconditionally.

The "Burning Immortal Grass," a spiritual herb said to be able to burn even immortals to death, is renowned for its potent medicinal properties among ninth-grade spiritual herbs. However, its appearance is rather ordinary, and many people do not recognize it.

"We must get these two medicinal herbs."

Liang Shanbo thought to himself.

The stall was full of first and second-grade spiritual herbs, and there were relatively few cultivators who frequented it. The owner was a cultivator in his fifties who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Liang Shanbo quietly walked over.

"Fellow Daoist, what would you like to buy?" the shopkeeper greeted him politely.

Liang Shanbo flipped through the medicinal herbs on the stall and said, "Let me take a look first."

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent. Seeing that Liang Shanbo immediately began examining the medicinal herbs without even saying whether he wanted to buy, the shopkeeper knew that although the young man was not old, he was definitely an expert. He explained, "These medicinal herbs have not lost their medicinal properties. I transplanted them directly and only picked them when I was selling them. Fellow Daoist, you can buy with confidence."

"He's right, it is indeed very novel."

Gu Yueyao chimed in from the side.

Don't forget, this girl is the young master of the Spirit Medicine Sect, and she is definitely an expert in herbs.

"Ok, I know."

Liang Shanbo nodded; with his keen eyesight, he could see that.

Although he wasn't a member of the Spirit Medicine Sect, he was the Holy Emperor of the Eternal Holy Dynasty. In terms of knowledge and experience, Gu Yueyao was truly just an infant compared to him.

"Boss, how much are these medicinal herbs for?"

Liang Shanbo asked.

The shopkeeper said, "My prices are quite uniform. All first-grade spiritual herbs are priced at one hundred low-grade spirit stones per plant, and all second-grade spiritual herbs are priced at three hundred low-grade spirit stones per plant. Which one would you like to buy, fellow Daoist?"

Dealing with discerning customers, the owner didn't expect to sell many plants; he thought selling one or two would be quite good.

Liang Shanbo said calmly, "Boss, you have more than 150 medicinal herbs here. I can buy them all, but I have one condition: you have to tell me where you picked them."

"Really?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. These medicinal herbs were all first or second-grade herbs, not expensive. It wouldn't hurt to tell the other party where they came from.

He didn't think that such a wealthy young master would be so bored as to go to the wilderness to look for medicinal herbs, although he didn't know why Liang Shanbo wanted to know the origin of these medicinal herbs.

"Well, if you think it's okay to tell me, then we can wrap them all up and calculate the total number of spirit stones. Also, give me a storage bag to put the spirit stones in for you," Liang Shanbo said.

"Alright! Fellow Daoist is indeed straightforward, I agree!" With that, the shopkeeper quickly calculated the total price of the spiritual herbs on his stall, and handed Liang Shanbo a storage bag with a beaming smile, saying, "It's a total of 28,900 low-grade spirit stones. Fellow Daoist and I are destined to meet, so I'll give you a discount and round it down. Just give me 28,000 low-grade spirit stones."

"Give!"

Liang Shanbo nodded, transferred three mid-grade Yang spirit stones from the World of Light into his storage bag, and handed them to the shopkeeper. At the same time, he sent the collected spiritual herbs into the World of Light in an instant.

"This is"

The shopkeeper who took the storage bag was dumbfounded; there were only three spirit stones inside, not twenty-eight thousand.

"It should be correct, right?"

Seeing the boss's expression, Liang Shanbo frowned slightly. There was nothing wrong with him giving three mid-grade Yang Spirit Stones.

Yang Spirit Stones are special spirit stones, considered to be one grade higher than general spirit stones. Three mid-grade Yang Spirit Stones can be exchanged for three high-grade general spirit stones, while three high-grade general spirit stones can be exchanged for 30,000 low-grade general spirit stones.

He had already given the other party an extra 1,100 low-grade spirit stones, but to his surprise, the shopkeeper opened his storage bag and showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost, which made Liang Shanbo somewhat displeased.

"Ahem, that's right, that's right."

The shop owner felt embarrassed, realizing that his expression was indeed too unsophisticated. He knew that he could set up a stall here to exchange special spirit stones, but he just didn't expect to encounter a real tycoon who would pay with special spirit stones.

At this moment, the shopkeeper couldn't help but take a deep look at Liang Shanbo. He had never seen anyone in his fifty-plus years of life who could pay with special spirit stones. There were really not many people like him.

“Young friend, these medicinal herbs were all gathered in the Lifeng Valley of Dongwu Mountain. The wind in Lifeng Valley is very strong. Even I, with my Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, only dare to wander around the outer perimeter and dare not go deep into it. If you want to go to Lifeng Valley, please be careful of the wind there. Or you can go to Weihuang Town to find me, Cang Lang, and I can take you there.”

Having received an extra thousand or so, and with the other party being an extremely generous tycoon, the boss couldn't help but become more enthusiastic.

"Thanks! We'll talk about it later!"

He didn't know whether he would go to Lifeng Valley or not; he just wanted to know where the Fireflame Grass came from.

After all, Fire Grass is a very precious and versatile level nine spiritual herb, and we might really need it in the future.
