At this moment, all of these shops were covered in restrictions, and they were emitting all kinds of dazzling spiritual lights. They shone brightly in the night, illuminating the entire street as if it were daytime.
Almost all of the people on the street were cultivators, and none of them seemed to be weak.
Moreover, the street in front of them was only the tip of the iceberg in Xi City. Looking around, there were at least twenty to thirty streets of similar scale, intertwined with each other, forming a huge and bustling market.
In terms of size alone, this market was more than half the size of Wanqiu City. The streets were packed with people, and the stalls were as numerous as the stars in the sky. Wanqiu City's market could not compare to it, and it truly lived up to its reputation as the number one market in the Great Tang.
"It's truly as prosperous as a brocade. I didn't think that the Western Market would be so prosperous," Shen Luo couldn't help but praise.
"It is said that when the Western Market was first established, it wasn't that big. However, under the efforts of the Great Tang's Emperors, both overtly and covertly, the Western Market expanded several times to reach its current size. It just so happens that the Mid-Autumn Festival is held during the Golden Year. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so lively," Xie Yuxin added.
Shen Luo inwardly nodded.
It seemed that the Great Tang's Imperial Court was also nurturing cultivators both overtly and covertly. This was not surprising. Ordinary soldiers could not compare to cultivators. The army could protect the country, but there were many things that the army could not solve.
Shen Luo might not have understood this point in the past, but after experiencing the various events in the Dream Realm for a thousand years, he had changed his view.
Shen Luo did not linger at the entrance of the Western Market. He quickly walked forward with Xie Yuxin, sizing up the surrounding shops as they walked.
These shops were similar to Wanqiu City's market and the Ghost Market. They generally sold all kinds of cultivation items, spiritual materials, talismans, pills, and magic tools. However, in terms of quality and variety, the latter could not compare, and Shen Luo could not help but feel envious.
Unfortunately, he was not rich enough. Over the past month of diligently drawing talismans, he had only earned less than three hundred immortal jade. Coupled with the five hundred immortal jade he had previously, he did not even know if it was enough to buy the Spirit Fire. Where would he find the spare money to buy other things?
The two of them walked forward and soon arrived before a tall shop in the depths of the market.
This shop occupied a large area, almost occupying the position of three or four ordinary shops. Its height was also much higher than the nearby shops, making it look like a crane in a flock of chickens. On both sides of the entrance of the shop, there was a blood-red jade carving of a Qilin, which looked extremely mighty. A huge plaque hung above the door, with the words "Xuanyuan Pavilion" written on it.
The three words were written in a flamboyant and majestic style. It was as if they were about to fly out of the board, emitting an overwhelming sense of heroism.
"The Xuan Yuan Pavilion is worthy of being one of the three major chambers of commerce alongside the Treasure Trove Hall. Its reputation is well-deserved. It is said that these three words were personally coined by the first generation Pavilion Master. The strength of this Pavilion Master is truly unfathomable." Xie Yuxin looked at the huge horizontal board, his eyes flashing as he spoke.
"This person's cultivation base is at least at the True Immortal Realm," Shen Luo said softly as he looked at the plaque before him.
"How do you know?" Xie Yuxin asked curiously.
Shen Luo smiled but did not answer.
With his experience and vision in the Dream Realm, he could naturally see a lot of things.
"This time, it is said that Master Xuanyuan has invested a lot in this auction. There are many treasures in the auction. I have brought all my belongings here! Looking at Brother Sun's smug look, are you also preparing to bid? "
"Not at all. My little belongings can't be compared to Brother Liu's. This time, I only want to buy a few pieces of Sky Molybdenum Gold Iron and cultivate my Black Gold Technique to the Fifth Heaven. I will be satisfied."
"That's true. I heard that this auction is different from the past. The masters of the Hua Sheng Temple, Mount Putuo, and the Tang Empire's government are all here. When the real good things appear, it will be those big shots who will fight for them. We should give up early on and be down-to-earth."
Many cultivators nearby chatted as they walked into the Xuan Yuan Pavilion.
When Shen Luo heard this, he frowned slightly.
"Are we going in directly?" Xie Yuxin glanced at Shen Luo and asked.
Shen Luo heard this and looked around.
Yesterday, he received a message from Ma Xiuxiu that the Golden Sun Spiritual Fire would appear in the auction today. Ma Xiuxiu invited him to participate, so he came over.
"Young Master Shen, you are here." At this moment, a voice came from the front. A figure came down from a carriage not far in front of them. It was Ma Xiuxiu.
Today, she wore a blue dress. It was tailored to her body. The blue light on it flowed like ripples in water. It did not look like an ordinary dress.
This strange blue dress, coupled with Ma Xiuxiu's white skin and exquisite curves, was very outstanding. It attracted many people's attention.
"It seems that Miss Ma has arrived early. I have kept you waiting." Shen Luo bowed slightly.
"Don't mention it, I just arrived. This sister is?" Ma Xiuxiu smiled and looked at Xie Yuxin.
Although the two had known each other for a long time, they had never met.
"This is my friend, Xie Yuxin. Xie Yuxin, this is Miss Ma Xiuxiu, a cultivator under the Jubao Hall. "Shen Luo briefly introduced the two to each other.
After meeting Ma Xiuxiu, he had asked Xie Yuxin about her in a roundabout way. He learned that this woman didn't know Ma Xiuxiu back in Jianye City. Ma Xiuxiu probably didn't know Xie Yuxin either.
Xie Yuxin stole from the Bai Family. If this matter spread out, she would be in a lot of trouble. Shen Luo naturally did not say much about her.
"Miss Ma, nice to meet you." Xie Yuxin had heard about Ma Xiuxiu from Shen Luo and bowed.
"It is my honor to meet Sister Xie." Ma Xiuxiu also bowed.
The three of them did not stop at the door and went straight into the Xuanyuan Pavilion.
"Do you three have an invitation card? Today's auction can only be attended by the VIPs invited by the Xuanyuan Pavilion. "One of the two guards in yellow robes said.
Ma Xiuxiu's face darkened, but she did not say anything. She took out three golden letters.
"How dare you! How dare you be rude to Miss Xiuxiu. Back off! " At this moment, a voice came. It was a woman in a yellow robe. She had light purple eyebrows and a bright red cinnabar mole between her eyebrows.
"Deacon Zi Xin!" The two yellow-robed guards looked terrified and hurriedly retreated to the side.
"Miss Xiuxiu, these guards are ignorant and did not recognize you. Please don't be offended. Please come in! And these two friends, please come in! "Deacon Zi Xin smiled brightly at Ma Xiuxiu and made a respectful gesture.
Shen Luo looked at Zi Xin. She seemed to be in a high position, but she was so polite to Ma Xiuxiu. It seemed that Ma Xiuxiu's position in the Jubao Hall was not as ordinary as she said.
Xie Yuxin's eyes flashed with an unnoticeable color.
