Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

Ye Wuxi and Shangguan Lingxi attracted a lot of attention as they walked down the street, since almost everyone in the capital knew Shangguan Lingxi.

"Wu Xi, how about we go to the Zijin Trading Hall first, and then have dinner at a restaurant?"

Ye Wuxi naturally had no objection; the trading hall in the capital should have many good things.

At the entrance of the Purple Gold Trading Hall, two guards said with blank faces, "Ladies, please show your spirit stone certificates. Those with less than five hundred high-grade spirit stones are not allowed to enter."

Ye Wuxi nodded silently. She hadn't expected that there was a threshold to enter the Purple Gold Hall. Fortunately, she had just received a sum of money, otherwise it would have been embarrassing to be penniless.

Shangguan Lingxi was allowed to pass immediately after showing her royal identity token, which was different from the other transactions Ye Wuxi had been to.

Before me was a huge square, with all sorts of people sitting cross-legged on both sides, and small stalls with all sorts of odds and ends in front of them.

Ye Wuxi was somewhat surprised, "What's going on here?" Is it possible to set up a stall outside the Zijin Trading Hall?

"This area is a free market, specially set up by Zijintang. Anyone with enough resources can sell their goods here. If you're lucky, you can find some good stuff. Many people come here hoping to find treasures, which has inadvertently increased the popularity of Zijintang."

Ye Wuxi nodded. No wonder he's in big business; look at his vision…

Ye Wuxi strolled around the various stalls with great interest. There were some martial arts techniques and some scrap metal, but the stall owners wouldn't tell you what they were, and they all had a fixed price, as if it was take your money or not.

Shangguan Lingxi accompanied her as they looked around, and whispered, "Most of them are lies, why don't we go inside and take a look?"

Ye Wuxi stopped and focused her gaze on a rolled-up, tattered parchment scroll. She had previously obtained a map of the Martial King's Tomb from the Four Heroes of the Heavenly Demons. Although it turned out to be of little use, it had given her the idea of ​​collecting maps, in case she stumbled upon a great opportunity.

Seeing her interest, the old man behind the stall said calmly, "These marks indicate the location of a treasure. Twenty high-grade spirit stones, no bargaining."

Shangguan Lingxi tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Wuxi, you don't believe me, do you? If there really was a treasure, he would have gone to get it himself long ago."

Those who can set up stalls here are at least at the Earth Martial Realm level or above. Why would they sell treasure maps or anything like that?

The old man snorted coldly, "The exact route is a bit incomplete. If you're not going to buy, then hurry up and leave."

Ye Wuxi thought for a moment and still paid twenty high-grade spirit stones. Anyway, she still had money. Buying blind boxes was all about gambling on luck.

Shangguan Lingxi sighed softly. This silly child was even more of a spendthrift than she was...

Seeing her quick and decisive manner, the old man's face also showed a kind smile. "Young friend, here's the map." He then pointed to the other items and said, "See if you need anything else."

Ye Wuxi took the map and shook her head. The two left the stall, and Shangguan Lingxi suddenly asked curiously, "Wuxi, why don't we open it and take a look?"

Ye Wuxi didn't mince words and directly unfurled the parchment scroll. She wasn't very familiar with the area on it, but it was indeed a treasure—the location of the Earth Core Fire Mushroom.

Ye Wuxi was somewhat tempted. The Earth Core Fire Mushroom was a valuable item. If it were old enough, she could refine it and perhaps break through to the Earth Martial Realm directly.

Shangguan Lingxi wasn't excited at all; instead, she angrily turned back to look at the stall owner. "He really is a liar!"

"Lingxi knows this place?" Ye Wuxi frowned.

"Wu Xi, you must not go here. Although the route is somewhat incomplete, the location of this thing is clearly in the heart of the Taihua Mountains, in the Fumo Ridge."

"Fumo Ridge is a forbidden area in the mountains. It is said that a great demon lives inside. Even Martial Kings dare not enter easily. If someone with our cultivation level goes in, we will only become food for the demon beasts."

Ye Wuxi, somewhat speechless, put the parchment away. "Alright, I understand." Gambler's mentality is indeed unacceptable.

Even so, she still looked around again, unwilling to give up. Seeing that she was still very interested, Shangguan Lingxi could only follow silently. Despite her great talent, she was unexpectedly an opportunist.

Soon Ye Wuxi stopped in front of a pile of broken copper and scrap iron. She had just swept out her soul power and sensed a special aura, but this time, to avoid being slaughtered, she did not stare at it directly.

Ye Wuxi casually glanced at the stall, then casually asked, looking at the few pieces of metal, "How much for this pile of junk?"

The stall owner's eyes lit up, and he protested, "What junk? These are all things I got from the ruins, all good stuff, forty high-grade spirit stones..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shangguan Lingxi rolled her eyes and said, "You really dare to ask for such a high price! You would sell something good? Wuxi, let's go, another liar."

Ye Wuxi nodded, took Shangguan Lingxi's arm, and prepared to leave. "Well, it's fine to buy it for fun if it's cheaper. Let's forget about this money."

The stall owner grew anxious. "Hey, wait a minute, gentlemen. Since this young lady is so eager to buy, I'll sell you all four for ten high-grade spirit stones. How about it?"

Ye Wuxi reluctantly agreed, "Alright, it wouldn't hurt to buy it and play with it."

After paying ten spirit stones and putting away the four iron pieces, Ye Wuxi felt a surge of joy. Perhaps this time she had really found a treasure.

Shangguan Lingxi felt that since she was the one who dragged Wuxi out shopping, she had an obligation to stop Wuxi from being deceived any further, so she quickly pulled her and said, "Wuxi, I want to buy weapons, will you come with me to take a look?"

Ye Wuxi had already lost interest in continuing to look around. "Well, we've seen enough here. Let's go."

The Purple Gold Trading Hall in the capital city has three main halls, with luxurious pillars and various crystal counters.

The two arrived at the clothing area, where the clothes were not ordinary, but special defensive dresses that were both beautiful to wear and could also withstand some attacks.

Shangguan Lingxi quickly took a liking to a golden robe and paid two hundred high-grade spirit stones with a wave of her hand.

Ye Wuxi was envious of his generosity, but she didn't lack spirit swords. As for pills, she had an alchemy master, so buying them here would be foolish.

After looking at both floors, Ye Wuxi didn't buy anything. Seeing her lack of interest, Shangguan Lingxi smiled and said, "Wuxi, haven't you studied formations? You'll definitely be interested in the next floor." This also perfectly matched Wuxi's Taobao shopping mentality.

Ye Wuxi became quite interested, and the two of them went straight to the third floor, where there were more people than the two floors below combined.

Each crystal display case had a cluster of light floating on it. Shangguan Lingxi explained, "These mysterious clusters of light contain cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, and even secret techniques, but they are all covered with various concealment formations. Of course, there may also be nothing inside."
