In the courier station, Shen Luo sat cross-legged, cultivating with his eyes closed.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and Bai Xiaotian still hadn't returned.
With a soft creak, Chan 'er walked out from inside.
"Master Chan 'er, why are you up? You should rest more after traveling for such a long time. "Shen Luo stood up when he saw this.
"It's alright. I've rested enough. I want to take a walk in the city and see the exotic scenery here. At the same time, I want to search for clues in my memory …" Chan 'er bowed to Shen Luo and said.
"Alright." Shen Luo was startled and immediately nodded in agreement.
He also wanted to take a look in the city. He wanted to wait for Bai Xiaotian to return. Now that Chan 'er wanted to go out, it was exactly what he wanted.
The two of them left the courier station and went straight to the bustling streets of the city.
As they walked, Shen Luo was constantly paying attention to the movements around them. He didn't notice that they were being followed.
"No one? That can't be. "Shen Luo had some doubts in his heart.
According to his speculation, since he had been recognized, he should be monitored. The reason he left the courier station was not only to see the magic tools in the city, but also to see the other party's reaction.
However, he didn't think too much about it. It was better if no one came to disturb him.
"Master Chan 'er, where do you want to go first?" Shen Luo asked.
"I don't have a specific destination. Almsgiver Shen, you can decide," Chan 'er said.
Shen Luo nodded and brought Chan 'er to the east, west, and south of the city for a while. Unfortunately, Chan' er didn't find any clues.
In the end, the two of them arrived at the northern part of the city. There were many shops on both sides of the street, and there was a hubbub of voices. It was quite lively. Most of the shops belonged to cultivators. Most of them were shops that sold magic artifacts or refining materials. Occasionally, there would be a few shops for mortals.
Shen Luo's eyes flashed with excitement. According to Du Ke, the best refining shops in the city were in the north of the city. It seemed that it was true. However, he had to protect Chan 'er's safety and couldn't walk around casually.
"Almsgiver Shen, if you want to buy anything, you don't have to worry about me. Feel free to go," Chan 'er said with a smile.
"Alright then. Master Chan 'er, follow behind me. Don't get lost." Shen Luo heaved a sigh of relief. After informing Chan 'er, he couldn't wait to walk toward a shop that looked pretty good nearby.
Half an hour later, the two of them walked out of another large crafting shop in the north of the city. Shen Luo frowned.
The celestial weapons in these shops were indeed good. The craftsmanship of the same level of celestial weapons was even better than that of Chang 'an City. However, the grades of the celestial weapons were not high. Most of them were middle-grade celestial weapons or upper-grade celestial weapons. There were very few top-grade celestial weapons.
With his current cultivation, low and mid-grade magic tools were basically useless. Only top-grade magic tools were suitable for him. However, up until now, he still hadn't found anything that caught his eye.
"What's wrong? Benefactor Shen didn't find the Dharma artifact he wanted?" Chan 'er asked.
"Although there are many magic tools in the city, there are very few quality ones. It's even harder to find one that suits me." Shen Luo sighed softly.
"Hey, Brother Shen, Master Golden Cicada!" At that moment, a soft exclamation came from the front. A figure walked over quickly. It was Bai Xiaotian.
Behind Bai Xiao Tian, there was a skinny young man following behind him.
"Brother Bai." Shen Luo greeted Bai Xiaotian and looked at the thin young man.
This person's Dharmic power was weak. He was only a cultivator in the Fasting Realm. His appearance was very ordinary. He was the type that couldn't be found in a crowd. However, his eyes were very big and showed a bit of intelligence.
"Why did you come out?" Bai Xiaotian bowed to Chan 'er before asking Shen Luo.
"Master Chan 'er wanted to look for clues in the city. I accompanied him out. I also wanted to take a look at this famous crafting city and find one or two suitable celestial weapons," Shen Luo explained.
"Looking at Brother Shen, you probably haven't found anything that you're satisfied with," Bai Xiaotian said with a smile.
"Indeed, I haven't found anything good. This Crimson Valley City is just a false name." Shen Luo shrugged.
"Crimson Valley City is rich in minerals. Since ancient times, it has been famous for crafting weapons. In terms of crafting weapons, this city is definitely above Chang 'an City. If you haven't found a satisfactory celestial weapon, that's because you haven't found the right way." Bai Xiaotian shook his head.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Shen Luo raised his eyebrows.
"Crafting weapons is the foundation of Crimson Valley City and even Wuji Kingdom. Wuji Kingdom's land is barren, and the kingdom's main source of income is the celestial weapon business in Crimson Valley City. In order to ensure the price and sales of high-quality celestial weapons, the royal family of Wuji Kingdom also intervenes in the celestial weapon business. They monopolize the best celestial weapons and only trade with a few fixed big forces. Therefore, you won't be able to find high-quality celestial weapons in these shops in the city," Bai Xiaotian said.
"So that's how it is. Judging from Brother Bai's tone, you seem to know the right way?" Shen Luo nodded and asked.
"Our Life Transforming Temple is also one of the trading partners of the royal family of Wuji Kingdom. This is Sun Hai, an outer sect disciple of the Life Transforming Temple. He is stationed in Crimson Valley City all year round and is in charge of the crafting business between the Life Transforming Temple and the royal family of Wuji Kingdom." Bai Xiaotian pointed to the thin young man and said.
"Sun Hai greets Master Golden Cicada and Senior Shen." The thin young man hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Shen Luo and Chan 'er.
Shen Luo was delighted to hear this and nodded to the thin young man.
"Sun Hai, take Brother Shen to the crafting shops that our Life Transforming Temple cooperates with to take a look. Brother Shen, you have accompanied Master Golden Cicada for most of the day. Leave the rest to me, "Bai Xiaotian instructed Sun Hai and then said to Shen Luo.
"Then I'll leave the rest to Brother Bai." Shen Luo didn't argue and handed Chan 'er to Bai Xiaotian.
The two quickly walked forward and disappeared into the crowd on the street.
"Senior Shen, what kind of magic tool do you want to buy? The crafting shops in Crimson Valley City have a very detailed division of labor. If you have a clear goal, it will be easier to find it, "Sun Hai asked.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, is there a place in Crimson Valley City where I can order a magic tool? I want to order a top-grade magic tool. I will provide the main materials myself." Shen Luo pondered for a moment and said.
Sun Hai was startled by the question and forgot to respond for a moment.
"There isn't?" Shen Luo raised his eyebrows.
"There is. I know of a few crafting workshops that can refine top-grade magic tools. However, there is a risk of failure in crafting. It is possible to invest a lot of precious materials and end up with nothing," Sun Hai hurriedly replied and then reminded him.
Seeing Shen Luo frown, the young man suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, that's right.
"By the way, this lowly one knows a master craftsman. His crafting skills are superb and he rarely fails. However, that person's personality is a bit strange and he charges a lot of money. He often refines a high-grade magic tool but charges a supreme-grade magic tool, causing many people to complain."
"As long as you can refine a magic tool to my satisfaction, the price can be negotiated. Take me to see him." Shen Luo wasn't surprised. Instead, he was happy.
"Yes, Senior, please come with me." Sun Hai's face lit up as he saw this. He then walked towards a small alley next to a street.
After passing through the young man's seven or eight turns, the two arrived at a dark and dilapidated courtyard.
The courtyard didn't look small. However, the courtyard gate was closed. Looking over the ridge of the gate, one could see a black chimney inside. It was slowly emitting black smoke.
"It's here! Boss Hua, open the door. Business is here. "Sun Hai said to Shen Luo. Then, he took a few steps forward and banged on the door.
There was no response from the courtyard. It seemed that no one was home. However, the young man didn't stop. He continued to bang on the door, causing dust to rustle down from the courtyard gate.
