Moreover, no merchant was a fool. Without some ability, they wouldn't dare to sell things here casually! Every item in their stall would be locked onto by their consciousness at all times. If it was really stolen, the person whose consciousness disappeared on the person would be the one who stole it. Even if they directly took the person's life, no one would speak up for them!
After Meng Jueguang finished explaining the rules, he deliberately looked at Lin Yi and said coldly, "Those poor people from the secular world, you have to be more careful. Don't think that this is a country bumpkin's place. Keep your hands and feet clean. Otherwise, if you really take someone's things and get beaten to death, you can only blame yourself!"
Of course, there was a deeper meaning behind Meng Jueguang's words, because …
Although Lin Yi didn't show it on the surface, his heart was shocked!
Lin Yi had the space in the jade pendant. He could use his consciousness and perception to store the things he fancied into the space in the jade pendant without anyone noticing. It was just like when he obtained a large sum of money from the Red Conch and the Overseas Cultivators Association in the secular world!
Previously, Lin Yi really wanted to do so, but he wasn't an impulsive person. He planned to observe first! But at this moment, after listening to Meng Jueguang's words, he secretly felt lucky! In the future, unless he was out of his mind, he wouldn't dare to try such a method of reaping without sowing!
If he really stole things and was locked onto by others, not only would his wearing the Thousand Silk Mask be easily exposed, even the matter of the space in the jade pendant might be discovered!
No one in the secular world discovered it, but it didn't mean that no one on the Heavenly Island, which was full of experts, could discover it. If he was discovered, then Lin Yi really wanted to cry but had no tears. He definitely wouldn't do such a thing to lose the big picture because of a small gain.
The group of newcomers followed Meng Jueguang as they walked around the market. From time to time, they would see things that caught their fancy. Although they only had one piece of spiritual jade on hand, this didn't hinder their enthusiasm for asking for the price. Even if they didn't have it now, they could still buy it in the future when they had more money. In the future, there would always be a direction to work towards.
With the other rookies doing so, Lin Yi could naturally do the same since he was in the crowd. He took the opportunity to ask about the prices of the five herbs he needed, but to prevent others from noticing anything amiss, he also asked about the prices of many other items. He appeared rather proactive.
Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong witnessed this scene. He could not help but sneer. From their point of view, with Lin Yi's current situation, not to mention obtaining more spiritual jades, he could only get the smallest and worst quality spiritual jades every month. What's the use of actively asking for a price? Even if he saved for a year, he might not be able to afford a single item. He's just like a clown!
However, Lin Yi clearly didn't care about their expressions. He carefully calculated for a moment. If he wanted to buy the five kinds of herbs that he needed, he would need at least eight pieces of spirit jades. But, the amount of spirit jades he had on hand could only be counted as more than half a piece. He was short of seven and a half pieces. He still had a long way to go.
The group strolled around the outer street and the middle street. As for the most mysterious inner street, it was obviously impossible for them to enter with their strength. In fact, even the strongest among them, Meng Jueguang, the steward senior apprentice brother, did not have the qualifications to enter the inner street. He could only resentfully look at it from afar before retreating.
Because entering the inner street did not depend on strength, but identity! One must be an outstanding inner disciple of one of the three pavilions and could only enter with their identity token.
Although Meng Jueguang had the qualifications to be an inner disciple, he was an inner disciple of the most miserable Blue Cloud Pavilion of the three pavilions. Among the entire Blue Cloud Pavilion's inner disciples, there were not many who had the qualifications to enter the inner street!
This had to be in the competition of the three pavilions. Only the disciples who ranked at the top were qualified to enter.
After strolling around the city, Meng Jueguang directly led everyone back to the Welcome Pavilion, but did not let them leave immediately.
This trip to the city seemed to have ignited the ambitions of the newcomers. Compared to the restraint and nervousness when they first arrived, the newcomers were clearly much more lively and calm. It seemed that they had gradually regained their confidence as Heaven Stage experts. Even in the face of such a strong steward senior apprentice brother like Meng Jueguang, they dared to open their mouths and ask their own questions, unlike at the beginning when they did not dare to say anything.
After all, experts who could cultivate to the late stage of Heaven Stage and above were not truly weak. There were only a few who were as timid as the bitter senior apprentice brother. Although the majority of the newcomers were assigned to the Blue Cloud Pavilion, they still had their own ambitions.
And this trip to the city had broadened their horizons. It had also finally clarified the most basic condition to achieve their ambitions, and that was spirit jades.
In this Heaven Stage Island, without spirit jades, everything was empty talk. They couldn't buy Martial Techniques, Medicinal Pills, or Heavenly Treasures. If they didn't have the assistance of these external items and relied solely on their own cultivation, most of the people here wouldn't be able to reach the Foundation Building stage even if they cultivated to the point of death, let alone higher realms later on.
A penny stumped a hero, and a piece of spirit jades could similarly stumped these Heaven Stage experts. Without spirit jades, it would be difficult to take a single step forward in the future.
"Senior apprentice brother Meng, how can we obtain more spirit jades?" Someone asked the question that was on everyone's mind. One by one, fiery gazes immediately focused on Meng Jueguang.
"That's a good question." Meng Jueguang smiled, a trace of pride flashing in his eyes.
As the steward senior apprentice brother, his main authority was to distribute spirit jades, and this was also the reason why everyone respected him, fawned on him, and even feared him. He was not afraid of people having ambitions, but rather, he was afraid that people had no ambitions!
If they had ambitions, they would want spirit jades, and they would listen to him obediently. But if they had no ambitions, then they would be strong without desires, and he would not be able to discipline them.
Therefore, bringing these newcomers to the city, other than familiarizing them with the environment, had another more important effect for Meng Jueguang, and that was to arouse their desires. As long as they had desires and ambitions, there was no need to worry that these people would not listen to him in the future!
Seeing the fervent expressions of the newcomers, Meng Jueguang said with a tone of voice, "You have to give something in order to get something in return. Other than the Welcome Pavilion giving you a piece of spirit jades every month, if you want to obtain more spirit jades, there is only one way, and that is to accept a task from me. After completing the task, you will be rewarded!"
"May I ask, Senior apprentice brother Meng, what is the task?" Someone asked anxiously.
"It's very simple, go to the spirit jade mine to mine. As long as you mine a hundred pieces, you will receive a piece of spirit jade as a reward! Whoever wants to go, you can come and register with me now! "Meng Jueguang announced loudly.
