Chapter 81
: The Market, Fragments of Insect Shells, and the Scent of Nature (Please continue reading
"Finally, we've reached the 'Sacrificial Field' location..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Although they were cultivators, after traveling for a day and a night, they all felt somewhat bored and tired.
It is near the "Sanhua Lingzhuang" archway.
The flatbed cart slowly came to a stop. The obese young driver stood up, glanced around, and called out:
"Distinguished guests, we have arrived at 'Three Flowers Spirit Manor.' Ten miles south lies the 'Sacrificial Field,' where the sect's soon-to-be-opened 'Spiritual Land' is located."
"The time is noon, and the opening hours are unlimited."
"Smooth Sailing" car rental company welcomes you to ride with us again next time...
After saying this, he gestured for everyone to get off the bus.
"Why wasn't it sent to the 'sacrificial field' location...?"
"That's right, a spirit stone..."
"..."
The farmers grumbled a few words of dissatisfaction, but seeing the expressionless, bald, burly man holding the millstone, they dared not say anything more and got off the cart.
And then they saw the huge crowd inside the "Sanhua Lingzhuang" archway.
"There are just too many people..."
"Oh no, with so many people, I'm afraid I won't even be able to earn back the fare..."
"..."
Upon seeing this, some of the spirit farmers' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately regretted taking out a spirit stone to come and "offer sacrifices to the fields."
"So many people..."
Li Changsheng was also taken aback by the large crowd.
He had anticipated that there would be a lot of people, since everyone said that you could get good things for free at the "Sacrifice Fields," but he didn't expect there to be so many.
A quick scan revealed at least a thousand people.
Coming to his senses, his gaze involuntarily fell on Da Congming, who was squatting beside him, and he thought to himself:
"Whether I've gained anything or not depends entirely on you, Master..."
I didn't think much of it.
Holding Ya Ya in one arm and carrying the low-grade magic weapon "Wind Scythe" in the other, Li Changsheng led Frog Prodigy and Big Smart toward the "Three Flowers Spirit Manor" archway.
The exaggerated design of the "wind sickle" is quite intimidating.
Add to that the extraordinary Frog Prodigy.
Traveling along the way.
The crowd automatically made way for him.
Enter the "Sanhua Lingzhuang" archway.
"Freshly fried Lingmi cake..."
"Meatballs, meatballs on sale at a discount..."
"Freshly picked 'Golden Corn,' only five Soul Shards per ear..."
"..."
The crowd was much smaller, and various vendors' calls could be heard incessantly. All sorts of stalls were set up on both sides, mostly selling food.
"It's so lively..."
Looking at the market-like scene, Li Changsheng sighed inwardly. Considering that the "Sacrificial Field" would not open until noon, he wasn't in a hurry to go. He could take advantage of the opportunity to collect information about the spirit creatures, so he carried Ya Ya around.
Not long after.
He had an extra cooked "golden corn" in his hand.
Ya Ya held a boiled "golden corn" in one hand and a meatball in the other, taking bites from both sides until her mouth was bulging. Perhaps she was enjoying the food, and she wasn't afraid of the crowd. She happily shook her little head.
"I'll plant some more along the field ridges later..."
Li Changsheng took a bite of the "golden corn," savoring its rich sweetness and the warm current that nourished his body flowing into his stomach, and couldn't help but nod in approval.
He immediately stopped thinking about it.
Continue to the next stall to collect information.
They came to a stall selling all sorts of odds and ends.
Li Changsheng casually picked up a piece of something about the size of an adult's palm, shaped like a pottery shard, with a black background and brown patterns, examined it for a moment, and stared at it intently.
A message appeared.
[Unknown Insect Shell Fragment: A fragment of an insect shell, decaying with the erosion of time, containing a faint trace of natural energy, which can be used to cultivate the life-sustaining seed "Love Flower"...]
"Um?…"
Upon receiving the information, Li Changsheng was stunned.
Unknown insect shell fragment?
How big must this insect be to have such a large fragment?
When you learn more about the follow-up information.
He was both surprised and delighted.
The shell of this unknown insect can actually be used to cultivate the life-giving "Love Flower"!
"A faint scent of nature..."
Li Changsheng quickly figured out the reason why it could cultivate the "love flower".
I couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
He knew that, but what exactly was the aura of nature?
I didn't think much of it.
No matter what it is, as long as it can be used to cultivate love flowers, it is a good thing to him!
Coming to his senses, Li Changsheng's gaze swept over the stalls.
Like the fragment in his hand, there were three more on the stall.
He didn't rush to pick up the other insect shell fragments to examine them. Instead, he turned to the stall owner, who was introducing items to other customers, and asked:
"Excuse me, how much is this?"
The stall owner glanced over and saw that what he was holding was a fragment he had dug up from the ground when he was clearing wasteland. He didn't know what it was, but he thought the pattern was nice, so he kept it and casually gave a price.
"One shattered spirit."
"Only one shattered spirit."
A hint of joy flashed in Li Changsheng's eyes. Without saying a word, he immediately picked up the other three similar fragments and handed four spirit fragments to the stall owner.
"This piece of junk can be sold for spirit stones? Uncle Ma was right after all. These spirit farmers who travel all this way to 'offer sacrifices' are all fools with too much money..."
The stall owner was even more delighted, and as if afraid that he would change his mind, he hurriedly accepted the broken spirit and enthusiastically introduced him to the other strange and unusual things on the stall.
Li Changsheng also had the idea of taking advantage of a bargain.
I picked up the other items and examined them one by one, but in the end I only collected some useless information.
Under the stall owner's reluctant gaze.
With Ya Ya, Frog Pride, and Big Smarty on their backs, they left the stall.
Not far from the stall.
Li Changsheng took out the other three fragments and examined them one by one. They were all fragments containing a faint natural aura, which could be used to cultivate the life seed "Love Flower".
"I wonder how the cultivation is going..."
Collect the fragments into the package.
He then continued browsing the stalls with great interest.
I visited more than ten stalls in a row.
There wasn't a single spiritual object containing any spiritual essence; they were all useless things that just looked strange.
It's not even as good as the scattered stalls in "Peach Blossom Market".
Li Changsheng completely gave up the idea of picking up bargains. Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Everyone was a spirit farmer, so what good stuff could they possibly have?
Even if you happen to obtain a "spiritual object" by chance.
They would most likely keep it tightly under wraps, slowly inquiring about its true effects, and even if they wanted to sell it, they wouldn't set up a stall here.
After visiting the market.
The sun was already halfway up.
The crowd at the market gradually left.
Li Changsheng didn't linger either, and led Ya Ya, Wa Tianjiao, and Da Congming to the location of the "Sacrificial Field".
Traveling along the way.
The scenery inside and outside "Sanhua Lingzhuang" is completely different.
Inside, manors and estates are arranged in neat rows, with low-lying vegetation.
The outside world is overgrown with vegetation, but it is also chaotic and disorderly.
Look into the distance.
In the distance, the sky is shrouded in mist.
From time to time, terrifying roars and hisses of beasts could be heard.
"Is that the Cloud Mist Swamp...?"
Li Changsheng picked up Ya Ya, who was clinging to his leg in fear, and looked at the endless churning mist in the distance. He secretly decided that unless absolutely necessary, it would be better to come here less often in the future.
soon.
The two people and two beasts arrived at a tall, unnamed archway.
At this time.
A huge crowd had gathered under the archway; upon closer inspection, the number was close to two thousand. They gazed at the sacred site that was about to be opened by the archway and discussed it incessantly.
Li Changsheng had just arrived.
Suddenly, someone shouted:
"Look, what's that!..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Although they were cultivators, after traveling for a day and a night, they all felt somewhat bored and tired.
It is near the "Sanhua Lingzhuang" archway.
