I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 271: Hongye Square

Lin Yuanwu's attention was also drawn to this square market.

Although Lin Yuanwu was powerful, he was still young and had limited experience. This time, when he went out, he was overwhelmed by what he saw.

"Alright, Yuanwu, let's conceal our cultivation first," Lin Qing said to Lin Yuanwu when they were about to reach the market. Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanwu immediately activated his techniques and concealed his cultivation at the Qi Refining stage, while Lin Qing concealed hers at the Foundation Building stage.

As for why they needed to conceal their cultivation, it was because their cultivation at the Purple Mansion stage was too intimidating. Lin Qing didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble when entering someone else's market, hence the need for concealment.

The flying boat landed outside the market gate. Lin Qing looked up and saw that Hongye Square was very different from the market in Zhao Country.

Perhaps influenced by the Stone Forest, the buildings in this market were tall and towering, not connected to each other. The shortest building was five zhang high, while the tallest was over ten zhang.

"Such tall buildings," Lin Yuanwu couldn't help but exclaim.

The Red Leaf Square cultivator guarding the gate smiled lightly. The architecture of their Red Leaf Square never failed to astonish every wandering cultivator who came here for the first time. It was truly unique and eye-catching.

This was actually an unintentional act. When Red Leaf Square was first built, the two major shops belonging to the Yan and Yang families competed with each other in terms of architecture. In the end, they both built ten-zhang high buildings, which attracted a lot of attention.

After these two shops had ten-zhang high buildings, some cultivators felt that taller buildings represented stronger power. For a while, the business of these two shops flourished, and other shops, upon seeing this, also wanted to imitate them. Later, the Yan and Yang families thought it was a good idea and strongly encouraged it, which eventually became the scenery of Red Leaf Square today. Some later cultivators speculated that this might be related to the nearby Stone Forest, but in fact, the two were not closely related.

The Red Leaf Square cultivator at the gate smiled and glanced at Lin Yuanwu, seeing that he was only a Qi Refining cultivator, he didn't pay much attention, thinking that he was just a country bumpkin.

But at this moment, Lin Qing's gaze swept over, and the Red Leaf Square cultivator became serious.

A Foundation Building cultivator was not someone he could offend.

"Senior, do you want to enter the square? Senior can go in without paying spirit stones, and you can also bring one person," the cultivator warmly introduced to Lin Qing. They required spirit stones to enter Red Leaf Square, but Foundation Building cultivators had certain privileges.

Lin Qing nodded without denying it and walked into the market with Lin Yuanwu.

As soon as they entered, Lin Yuanwu took a deep breath. Hongye Square was not the largest in Yan Country, it couldn't compare to the markets opened by the Haoyue Sect and Tianxuan Sect in Yan Country, but even so, the prosperity inside was on par with the Chiyang Immortal City that their Lin family currently controlled.

For a moment, he thought of the upcoming Wei Country, Chu Country, and Dali, and Lin Yuanwu suddenly felt like a frog in a well.

Lin Qing didn't know what Lin Yuanwu was thinking. At this moment, after entering the square, she looked around.

Shops like talisman stores, pill stores, and artifact stores were not places Lin Qing would enter. She was already at the peak of the Purple Mansion stage, and there was nothing she wanted here. She would only browse through some shops selling miscellaneous items, looking for any good items or opportunities. With her discerning eyes, there was a possibility of finding something.

When they reached the center of Red Leaf Square, there was a large open space with many wandering cultivators setting up stalls.

This is also the difference of Hongye Fang. As long as scattered cultivators pay spirit stones, they can set up stalls at this specific location. Of course, these scattered cultivators cannot produce anything valuable that poses a threat to the shops in the market. Moreover, no one would buy anything valuable from these scattered cultivators, after all, they are afraid of being deceived.

In the past, a cultivator from Hongye Fang spent hundreds of spirit stones to buy a fake magic weapon at a scattered cultivator's stall, which caused quite a stir. It almost led to the cancellation of the scattered cultivator's stalls in Hongye Fang.

Although they have not been canceled now, the cultivators from Yan Kingdom are very cautious. They don't easily buy anything valuable from these scattered cultivator's stalls.

After Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu arrived here, they looked at the scattered cultivators setting up stalls and casually walked around. With just a glance, Lin Qing could roughly discern the value of things.

Suddenly, Lin Qing's gaze fixed on a stall.

"Senior, have you found something you like?" This stall is operated by a cultivator at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, so naturally, they address Lin Qing as senior.

Lin Qing nodded and casually looked through the items on the stall. After asking about the price, he picked up a piece of stone and said, "Is this a piece of green copper ore?"

"Senior has a keen eye. This is indeed green copper ore. Although green copper ore is relatively common and is a first-grade material, it is not often seen in such large pieces. If senior wants it, it will cost two spirit stones." The stall owner immediately introduced enthusiastically.

Lin Qing nodded, took out two spirit stones, and bought the green copper ore.

After walking a distance away, Lin Yuanwu curiously asked, "Ancestor, this green copper ore doesn't seem to be anything special. Why did you buy it?"

Lin Qing smiled and threw the piece of green copper ore to Lin Yuanwu.

"This is indeed a piece of green copper ore, but it contains a piece of green copper essence inside, which is a second-grade high-quality material. It may not be considered a great treasure, but its true value is more than a hundred times that of two spirit stones. It's a lucky find."

After hearing this, Lin Yuanwu carefully examined the green copper ore and then said, "It does have some differences. Ancestor, you have a discerning eye."

Lin Qing shook his head. This thing was a lucky find, but it was useless to him. After looking at the scattered cultivators setting up stalls in Hongye Fang, Lin Qing felt that it would be impossible to find anything useful for him here.

However, Lin Qing had a great mindset. This trip was to participate in the Five Kingdoms Conference and to travel. If there were gains, it would be good; if not, it didn't matter. His mindset would not be affected.

"Alright, let's take a look around. There are many markets in Yan Kingdom."

"Okay, Ancestor."

Lin Yuanwu nodded, and then wanted to return the green copper ore to Lin Qing, but Lin Qing didn't take it and let Lin Yuanwu keep it himself.

After that, they didn't find anything valuable and Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu entered a restaurant in Hongye Fang run by cultivators. They served spirit wine, spirit meat, and spirit rice. Not many cultivators dared to come here due to the high prices. After entering the restaurant, Lin Qing saw only two tables of customers, both separated by screens.

Using his divine sense to take a look, both tables were occupied by Foundation Building cultivators. Lin Qing retracted his divine sense and didn't mind.

"Senior, is this your first time here?" A cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining came to serve as soon as they sat down.

Lin Qing nodded. This cultivator glanced at Lin Qing and then at Lin Yuanwu, whose cultivation was at the Qi Refining stage, and then enthusiastically introduced, "Senior, our restaurant serves various spiritual dishes that are carefully cooked. Not only do they taste delicious, but they also benefit cultivation. If Fellow Daoist's junior orders a set meal of three spiritual dishes and a soup, it's possible to improve one's cultivation level while enjoying a full meal."
