Chapter 162 Separate Actions

The four of them kept walking and chatting as they moved forward, and soon they saw the scenery of the area at the foot of Beast King Peak.

There is a large platform on the hillside of Beast King Peak, with a towering archway with three large characters "Spirit Beast Mountain" inscribed on it. That is the real entrance to Spirit Beast Mountain.

There are small steps on the platform extending down to the foot of the mountain.

There is a flat land at the foot of the mountain, with a large-scale building complex crowded on this flat land.

Hundreds of pavilions and houses of various types are arranged in a chaotic yet orderly manner, forming the Lingshou Mountain Market.

Compared with the gloomy climate of the foggy mountains outside, the weather here suddenly became mild and sunny.

There were flowers and plants everywhere and evergreen trees, as if we had suddenly stepped from the bleakness of autumn and winter into the prosperity of spring and summer.

Looking from a distance, the entire Lingshou Mountain Market is as big as a small city, covering hundreds of acres.

There is a large transparent light array in the sky above the market town, like a big plate upside down above the entire market town, emitting faint light from time to time.

Hu Pinggu pointed at the light array and introduced it.

"That is the unique spirit gathering formation in the Spirit Beast Mountain Market. It is said to receive the spiritual energy that escapes from the spiritual veins of the Beast King Peak. The spiritual energy inside is very rich. You will know it after you go in."

Then, under her leadership, the four of them came to the entrance, where disciples from Lingshou Mountain were guarding it.

Their attire is very eye-catching, with colorful clothes and various bulging spirit beast bags on their bodies, making them very easy to identify.

These gatekeeper disciples of Lingshou Mountain are responsible for collecting spirit stone fees from those who enter.

By paying two spirit stones, you can stay in the market for seven days.

The four of them handed over the spirit stones, and after a mark was stamped on the back of each of their hands, they successfully entered the market town.

As soon as he entered the market town, Mo Juren felt that the spiritual energy here was abundant and rich. There was even a refreshing feeling of spiritual power blowing towards him, which made him feel relaxed and happy. The concentration of spiritual energy was even higher than that in his own Canghe Cave.

Just the little bit of spiritual energy emanating from the spiritual vein of the Beast King Peak has made the entire market comparable to a cultivator's cave.

It is conceivable that if one truly enters the spiritual vein range of Lingshou Mountain, one cannot imagine what level of spiritual energy one would reach.

No wonder spirit stones are required to enter the market. Just by practicing in this market, the spiritual energy absorbed can offset the cost of the spirit stones.

Mo Juren looked around and found that there were indeed some monks sitting in many open spaces around the entrances and exits, taking advantage of the time to meditate and practice, looking very diligent.

Hu Pinggu introduced them to Mo Juren one by one in a familiar manner.

The row of houses at the foot of the mountain closest to the gate of Lingshou Mountain are all shops set up by Lingshou Mountain and the major immortal cultivation sects, selling all kinds of spiritual beasts, elixirs, talismans, magic tools, formation flags, exercises, etc.

The areas outside are free markets spontaneously formed by independent cultivators, and Lingshou Mountain allows these people to trade freely without any regard for others.

In the market town, masters from the Spirit Beast Mountain will be stationed there. No one is allowed to fight in the market town, otherwise they will be captured by the law enforcement team. In the best case, they will be expelled from the market town, and in the worst case, they will be thrown into the prison of the Spirit Beast Mountain to be a beast slave.

Precisely because of this good order and tolerance, Lingshou Mountain Market is extremely famous among the independent cultivators of Yue State, and many cultivators whose main occupation is business reside here.

In addition to its large size, this market also has a large number of monks coming and going, making it extremely lively. From their different clothing styles, it can be seen that this place brings together monks from all over the world.

Compared with this place, Tainanfang City is like a dwarf compared to a giant.

The so-called free market is actually a stall like the one in Tainanfang Market, and Hu Pinggu and Xiong Dali came here for this purpose.

They planned to find a good location to sell the supplies they brought first, and then buy some later.

But Mo Juren had no such plan. He had precious spiritual herbs on him, so he needed to find a big shop to trade them. So he said,

"It may take some time for Sister Hu to sell these supplies. I would like to find some resources related to elixirs. How about we each go our separate ways first and get together later?"

Hu Pinggu agreed and pointed to a larger inn and said,

"That's fine. If you want to find us, just come to the Free Market. If you can't find us, just wait in the inn. We can leave together after seven days."

Mo Juren nodded to show that he understood. In order to prevent Honglian from following him, he spoke first.

"Sister Honglian, I want to walk around this market alone. What are your plans?"

Honglian was a little disappointed when she heard this, but since Mo Juren had clearly refused, she had no choice but to say,
"I...I'll just take a stroll first."

In this way, the four people divided into three groups and acted separately.

Mo Juren came to the market this time mainly to buy more powerful cave formations and other magical tools to improve his strength, but it is obvious that these things must be very valuable.

Therefore, what is more important is to find a channel to sell spiritual herbs smoothly so that you can exchange them for resources continuously in the future.

So after Mo Juren left alone, he made many detours in the market town, and after making sure that no one was following him, he found a secret place to remove his disguise and became Zhang Tie again.

Then there was another round of movement of muscles and bones, making the sturdy figure thinner and taller again, and finally turned into a tall and thin young Taoist priest, a bit similar to the Lingdan Taoist priest he killed.

Fortunately, Qi-refining monks have no spiritual consciousness, and they mainly rely on appearance to recognize each other. Therefore, the appearance that Mo Juren created with the cartilage skill and pseudo-concealment technique in the Blinking Sword Technique can still be used, and there is no need to worry about being easily recognized by people around.

There are some large shops on the north side of the market. After changing his appearance, Mo Juren came here directly and looked for his target in each unique store.

Most of these shops are backed by sect forces, such as the Danding Pavilion opened by the Qingxu Sect, the magic weapon shop opened by Juque Fort, the talisman shop opened by Huadaowu, and so on.

The Beast Taming Farm opened by Lingshou Mountain specializes in all kinds of transactions related to spirit beasts.

Mo Juren thought about the food problem of the spirit-winged bird, so he entered the store first.

Because this Beast Taming Shop has the advantage of being in the local area, the entire store is very large and spacious inside, like a palace.

There are many animal cages in the store, which hold some monsters for sale. Most of them are seemingly ferocious fighting monsters such as wolves and leopards.

The waiters in the store are all disciples of Spirit Beast Mountain, and they can be identified by the large number of spirit beast bags of various colors on them.

After Mo Juren entered the store, no one greeted him, so he randomly found a disciple and raised his hand politely and asked,
"May I ask this Taoist friend if you have any spiritual bird-related materials for sale?"
