Although he said so, in truth, Xiao Chen did not have much confidence in himself. After all, this was his first time in the world of immortal cultivators and he was not very familiar with this place, so he did not dare to jump to any conclusions.
Hong Zhu nodded. She could naturally tell that Xiao Chen was trying to comfort her, but she did not expose him. Instead, she secretly prayed in her heart, hoping that everyone would be safe.
As the two continued walking, the trees began to grow sparse. Not far away, they seemed to have reached the edge of the forest. Xiao Chen suddenly stopped, closed his eyes, and sensed with rapt attention for a moment.
Seeing this, Hong Zhu was just about to ask, when Xiao Chen opened his eyes and pointed in a certain direction to the east, saying, "I've discovered some movements about three kilometers to the east, but they don't seem to be our people. Since we can't find them, let's go over there and take a look!"
It turned out that when they had arrived at this location, Xiao Chen's divine sense, which had already expanded to its limit, had suddenly sensed some houses in the distance. It seemed to be a town, and there was a bustling crowd inside. However, they were all unfamiliar faces, and seemed to be the residents of the town.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Although Hong Zhu did not know why Xiao Chen was able to sense the commotion from so far away, in this unknown environment, she had a natural sense of trust towards Xiao Chen. Thus, she obediently nodded her head.
After the two had come to a decision, they carefully approached the east. After walking for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, a small town appeared in front of them.
Although the size of this town could not be considered large, it was quite lively with people coming and going. It looked a bit similar to a market in the secular world, except that the people inside were all dressed in ancient clothes.
Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu glanced at each other, before stepping into the town as if nothing had happened. Pretending to be leisurely strolling on the streets, they stealthily observed the situation around them.
After entering the town, Xiao Chen did not dare to be too ostentatious. He could sense that there were quite a few cultivators in the vicinity, so he did not choose to release his divine sense to investigate.
Although the surrounding cultivators did not seem to have a high level, once they reached the level of Xiao Chen, their vitality would be restrained and they would return to their natural state. Generally, one would not be able to see their true level.
After all, Xiao Chen didn't know much about the situation here, so he didn't want to overestimate himself. If he alarmed an almighty who was stronger than him, it wouldn't be worth it.
"Take a look, take a look! You won't suffer a loss with two crystals, and you won't be fooled with just two crystals … "Before the two of them had taken a few steps, they heard a peddler's voice coming from the street not far away. Judging from the tone of the voice, it seemed to be the voice of a hawker.
"Pfft … I didn't expect this place to be so similar to the secular world. They even use such old-fashioned advertising words!" Hong Zhu was instantly amused, and his nervousness was greatly alleviated. With a smile, he teased, "Next, I'll definitely sell all of the items in my shop for two Spirit Crystals. It'll be a true value for money, and there won't be another shop like this, right?"
Xiao Chen smiled, but before he could answer, the peddler continued to shout, "You can't buy anything with two crystals! All the items in your shop start at three crystals! Don't miss this opportunity! If you buy it, you'll be taking advantage of it, and if you don't, you'll be suffering a great loss! "
"Uh … what the hell is this? What happened to the trust between people? " Hong Zhu staggered and almost fell to the ground. He suddenly felt unwell. Why didn't this guy follow the rules? Could it be that all the peddlers in the cultivation world are weirdos?
"Perhaps this is their style. It's better for you to get used to it as soon as possible." Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head. He was also somewhat speechless towards this peddler.
"Forget it, he's just a peddler, I don't feel like arguing with him." Hong Zhu lightly snorted, and then asked with some doubt, "But what are the Spirit Crystals he mentioned? What are they? "
When Xiao Chen heard this term, he was also somewhat puzzled. But since Hong Zhu had asked, he waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me, it's also my first time here. In any case, we have nothing to do for the time being, so we might as well go and take a look!"
Xiao Chen was also quite interested in the Spirit Crystals that the peddler was talking about. Could it be that the cultivation world didn't use the currency of the secular world, and instead used Spirit Crystals as payment?
If that was really the case, he had to find a way to obtain some Spirit Crystals and carry them with him. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to even take a single step!
"Two handsome men and beautiful women, please feel free to look around. These goods just arrived yesterday, and the quality is excellent. There's absolutely nothing to complain about! If you buy more, I can even give you a discounted price! " Seeing Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu walking over from a short distance away, the peddler immediately stood up and greeted them enthusiastically.
"Little brother, we don't have any spirit crystals. We just wanted to ask …" Hong Zhu shook his head with a smile. Just as he was about to ask what exactly spirit crystals were, he was interrupted by the vendor before he could finish his question.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have any Spirit Crystals! I support the exchange method with Spirit Crystal Certificates, or you can use Spirit Crystal Cards to directly transfer money. You can choose whatever you want! " The peddler said impatiently. Then, he made a knowing expression and sighed, "Indeed, no one likes to carry Spirit Crystals around these days. Those things are too heavy. It's really not as convenient as small cards, I understand!"
Hong Zhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head. The peddler probably thought that they didn't bring any Spirit Crystals with them, so he wanted to use other payment methods. That was why he introduced so many payment methods in one go. But he didn't have any Spirit Crystal Cards!
While Hong Zhu and the peddler were talking, Xiao Chen took a look at the goods on display. He discovered that they were all unknown herbs and some daily necessities. Perhaps because the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth was relatively abundant in the cultivation world, many of the herbs seemed to be of good quality even though their grades were relatively low.
Seeing that Hong Zhu didn't get anything out of the peddler, Xiao Chen explained, "Oh, we're not here to buy anything. We just want to understand …"
The peddler stared at Xiao Chen for a moment. Before he could finish speaking, he immediately put on a look of sudden realization and said in a low voice, "Oh, I understand. You're short on Spirit Crystals, right?"
Xiao Chen was startled. Thinking that what the peddler said was not wrong, he nodded.
"You should have said so earlier!" The peddler patted Xiao Chen's shoulder in a very familiar manner. He carefully looked left and right, then approached Xiao Chen and said in a low voice, "I can help you apply for a small loan or mortgage. If you want to sell a kidney or other organs, I can also introduce you. But you'll have to pay a small fee first! As you know, I've been very strict recently! "
