Listening to the old man introduce the situation of Baiyun Peak, Zhang Ling had no expression. The old man was also quite discerning and saw that he seemed uninterested in these things, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, Baiyun Peak has been quite lively recently. Many cultivators have entered the mountain to search for treasures. Two months ago, a strange phenomenon occurred at Baiyun Peak..."
The old man babbled about the current situation of Baiyun Peak. Zhang Ling listened carefully for a while, then waved his hand and said.
"Alright, it seems you know a lot about this place. Now I want to find some rare spiritual medicines, so lead the way. As long as you can find the spiritual medicines I need, I don't mind giving you a few more spirit stones."
"Hehe, then thank you senior in advance, please come this way." Hearing this, the old man showed a look of joy and led Zhang Ling towards the side. Before long, Zhang Ling was sitting in a carriage driven by the old man, heading towards a wide street.
Bishui City is protected by a powerful formation, and flying is forbidden in the city.
……
Zhang Ling sat in the carriage listening to the old man Xiao talking about the situation of Bishui City. This man's name was Xiao Wei. Although his cultivation was low, he was indeed quite knowledgeable about the affairs of this place.
With this man's explanation, Zhang Ling gradually gained a more detailed understanding of Bishui City.
In the blink of an eye, more than two hours had passed. Under the guidance of the old man Xiao, Zhang Ling had visited several shops of various sizes, but his face was not very good.
"Senior, have you not found the spiritual objects you need yet?" After Zhang Ling walked out of a shop in disappointment again, the old man Xiao asked cautiously.
"That's right, there is nothing I need here either."
"May I ask what kind of spiritual medicine senior needs? This old one also knows about some secret markets, perhaps I can help senior."
"Secret market(密市: secret market)?" Zhang Ling glanced at the old man Xiao, who was respectfully driving the carriage, thought for a moment, and then uttered the words "Bai Yu Zhi(白玉芝: White Jade Ganoderma)".
"Bai Yu Zhi(白玉芝: White Jade Ganoderma), I didn't expect senior to need this kind of spiritual object. This is a bit difficult. Although Bai Yu Zhi(白玉芝: White Jade Ganoderma) is only a third-grade spiritual medicine, it is very precious. This spiritual grass can be used to refine several kinds of elixirs. Usually, although not many are available on the market, you can still buy them in some large shops if you are willing to spend spirit stones."
"But recently, many cultivators have poured into Bishui City, including high-level cultivators who are buying this spiritual medicine in large quantities. It has been going on for more than half a year. It is said that it is because this spiritual grass can be used to refine a special elixir called Tian Hua Dan(天华丹: Heavenly Bloom Pill)."
Speaking of this, the old man Xiao glanced at Zhang Ling and smiled slyly. Zhang Ling couldn't help but ask, "Tian Hua Dan(天华丹: Heavenly Bloom Pill), what kind of elixir is this?"
"Tian Hua Dan(天华丹: Heavenly Bloom Pill) is an elixir jointly researched by several grandmaster-level alchemists in Wanxiang City(万象城: Myriad Manifestation City). It is extraordinary and can quickly increase the cultivation of Golden Core cultivators, requiring Bai Yu Zhi(白玉芝: White Jade Ganoderma) as an auxiliary spiritual grass."
Hearing this, Zhang Ling knew the effect of the Tian Hua Dan(天华丹: Heavenly Bloom Pill), and that Wanxiang City(万象城: Myriad Manifestation City) was a large immortal city controlled by the human race.
This kind of elixir that can quickly increase cultivation is already scarce, let alone a spiritual elixir suitable for high-level cultivators.
It's no wonder he couldn't find Bai Yu Zhi(白玉芝: White Jade Ganoderma). Zhang Ling felt depressed. Was the Jade Bone Pill he wanted to refine going to be ruined?
"However, this junior knows a place where you might be able to find Bai Yu Zhi(白玉芝: White Jade Ganoderma)." While Zhang Ling was deep in thought, the old man Xiao suddenly changed the subject and said again.
"Is it the secret market you mentioned?" Zhang Ling looked at the old man with a smile.
Seeing Zhang Ling reveal this kind of look, the old man smiled awkwardly, but was shocked in his heart, secretly thinking how he had forgotten that this person was not the Qi Refining cultivator he usually pulled.
After calming down, the old man Xiao softly spoke of a special place. After Zhang Ling agreed, their route changed and headed towards the southern city.
In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed, and the sky was getting dark. Around a brightly lit tall pavilion, carriages of different sizes were parked.
The old man Xiao stood in front of a carriage, respectfully saying something to Zhang Ling in the carriage, and then he left the carriage and walked into the pavilion.
Before long, the old man Xiao appeared in front of the carriage again.
"Senior, things are done. With this voucher, you can enter and exit this place." The old man Xiao held a red spirit talisman in his hand and respectfully handed it to Zhang Ling.
After taking the spirit talisman, Zhang Ling waved his hand and took out three spirit stones, throwing them to the old man.
"Thank you, senior!" Seeing the three spirit stones, the old man Xiao immediately showed a smile and said respectfully.
"Alright, let's part ways here." Zhang Ling waved his hand and looked at the red spirit talisman in his hand. Then he got out of the carriage and separated from the old man. There were few cultivators coming and going on the street, more than during the day.
Looking at the seven-story building in the center of the street, a golden plaque with the words "Snow Moon Tower" was hung on it.
This pavilion, seen from the outside, is decorated very luxuriously, with cultivators going in and out. This is the place that the old man Xiao introduced to him where he might still be able to find Bai Yu Zhi(白玉芝: White Jade Ganoderma).
According to the old man Xiao, this place, seen from the outside, is just a place for people to relax and have fun, similar to a brothel in the secular world. But after midnight, the cultivators coming and going here are no longer ordinary.
This is not the underground transaction secret market that Zhang Ling had previously thought. What is traded here is not spiritual objects, magical artifacts, etc., but only information.
Now Bai Yu Zhi(白玉芝: White Jade Ganoderma) on the market in Bishui City has been taken away. If you want to collect it through normal channels, I am afraid that the time will be delayed for a long time.
Of course, he can also go directly to Baiyun Peak to find this spiritual medicine, but his injuries are not light. Unless he has to, Zhang Ling does not want to take risks.
Zhang Ling wandered around the street, walked to an uninhabited place, used a secret method to transform himself into a fat cultivator, changed his clothes into a gray robe, and put on a curtained hat.
Zhang Ling entered the Snow Moon Tower, and immediately a burst of fairy music sounded in his ears. His eyes lit up, and he saw that the lights were bright, and colorful gauze was hung around.
Inside the building, there were many cultivator-like people, in twos and threes, or alone, sitting around.
In the central position, there was a red wooden platform, on which there were several beautiful dancers, dancing seductive dances.
There were also many waiters and scantily clad women around, all with smiles on their faces, greeting guests.
"This guest, please come inside quickly."
Zhang Ling only glanced at it, and a girl in a red gauze skirt greeted him. This girl was barefoot and bare-shouldered, with a beautiful face.
Zhang Ling looked at this girl, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old. She was also a cultivator, but her cultivation was even lower than that of the old man Xiao, only at the second level of Qi Refining.
"Lian'er has met senior."
The girl smiled at Zhang Ling with a bright and beautiful face, then bowed and saluted, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin. Then, she reached out and took Zhang Ling's arm, acting as if she were familiar with him.
