Chu Chen looked at the sky. There was already a hint of dawn in the east.
Deciding to go down the mountain immediately, he freshened up and packed a few sets of clothes. Then, he got up and walked down the mountain.
Leaving this familiar world of cultivation and stepping into the unfamiliar world of mortals, Chu Chen couldn't help but look forward to it.
Three hundred miles north of Biquan Xianzong, there was an important town in the mortal world called "Gan Yang". This city was bordered by Biquan Xianzong to the south, the Black Heaven Sword Sect to the west, and the Supreme Sword Sect to the north. To the east was the intersection of the mortal world's "Daliang State" and "Da Xia State".
Located at the intersection of the three major sects and two large kingdoms, Gan Yang City had always been a very important city. It was an important place for the disciples of the sects to communicate with the merchants of the mortal world, so it was very prosperous.
Because there were many sects nearby, this city was much more prosperous than the other cities in the mortal world. And because of the special nature of the intersection of the two large countries, this place was not as strict as the sects.
After rushing for more than a day, Chu Chen felt a little dazed as soon as he entered this bustling city.
This was because this environment was a completely different world from the uninhabited wilderness where the grass was long and the birds were flying.
On the main street, there were rows upon rows of pedestrians, filling up every corner of the street like a crowd of people. There were people everywhere, hawking, setting up stalls, drinking, eating, quarreling …
"Why is this person standing here in a daze?"
"Probably a country bumpkin entering the city!"
"Ignore him. Be careful that he doesn't ask you for money."
Chu Chen didn't care what the people who passed by him said. He suddenly wanted to use his spiritual sense to look for Ling Xuan. However, the world was so big, and this "Gan Yang City" was just a drop in the ocean. How could it be so easy to find?
Although this was what he thought, Chu Chen still couldn't help but use his spiritual sense. The moment he closed his eyes, a holographic image of Gan Yang appeared in his mind.
In the east of the city, there was a large amount of treasure light soaring into the sky. Without asking, Chu Chen knew that it was the city's auction house. However, this wasn't what he was concerned about.
Instead, he wanted to know if there was a girl in black named Ling Xuan in this huge city.
Chu Chen's spiritual sense filtered through the sea of people over and over again. He was disappointed over and over again.
Withdrawing his spiritual perception, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The world was so big, how could it be so easy to meet her? However, this girl always made him worry.
In less than half an incense stick's worth of time, Chu Chen passed through the crowd and arrived at the largest auction house in Gan Yang City, the Jubao Pavilion.
According to the passersby, the Jubao Pavilion was the largest trading company in Gan Yang City. It was one of the few places in the city where sect disciples could directly do business.
This Jubao Pavilion was clearly much larger than the largest auction house in the Biquan Xianzong Market Square. Although its decorations were somewhat mundane, it had the advantage of being huge. From afar, the tightly connected warehouses looked like small hills.
After entering the Jubao Pavilion, he discovered that there were even more people inside than on the streets outside. Huge shelves were arranged in rows, and each item had a detailed description. All of them were rare treasures from all over the world.
This auction house actually had the feeling of a market square. It could only be said that the owner of the Jubao Pavilion was absolutely extravagant.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. It carried a trace of surprise, a trace of joy, and a trace of hesitation. "Little Medicine Saint, what are you doing here?!"
The voice was gentle and elegant, natural and unrestrained. It revealed a trace of a unique sense of being in control of the entire situation. It was extremely special.
Chu Chen turned his head and saw a familiar blue figure in the crowd. It was a dignified and beautiful young girl. Her features were picturesque, and her skin was as white as snow.
Her expression was indifferent and elegant, as if everything was under her control. She was actually the daughter of the mysterious blacksmith who had forged Chu Chen's medicine furnace.
"So it's Miss Xu. Are you also here to buy something?" Chu Chen quickly cupped his hands. "It's a coincidence to meet Miss Xu here."
"Haha, it's this young girl's honor to meet the Little Medicine Saint by fate." The blue-clothed young girl smiled and waved her hand. A manservant walked over from the crowd and respectfully bowed. "Miss, what are your orders?"
"Quickly prepare a private room and good tea. If I meet a noble, I must properly entertain them. Do not neglect them."
"Yes."
The manservant quickly left after bowing. The blue-clothed young girl led Chu Chen through the crowd. They easily passed through several rows of huge shelves and people before arriving at an exquisite tea house.
Chu Chen, who had been following behind the young girl, always felt that this young girl was very mysterious.
Although she was nominally father and daughter with the mysterious blacksmith who could forge the fragments of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the blacksmith had an unconcealable respect for her. It seemed as if he was her servant.
And now, in the largest auction house in such an important city like Gan Yang City, she was actually able to order around the servants here. This scene caused Chu Chen to be a little surprised. No matter how slow he was, he understood that the power that could open an auction house here was unimaginable.
"Haha, an old friend of my father's is a steward here. Today, he was ordered by my father to come here and pay a visit. Unfortunately, he met the Little Medicine Saint. "
Seeing the confusion in Chu Chen's eyes, the blue-clothed young girl smiled. The two of them arrived at the empty tea house.
"Miss, the tea house has already been emptied. No one will disturb you." The manservant shrewdly revealed a fawning expression.
The blue-clothed young girl nodded slightly and gestured for Chu Chen to take a seat in a unique room. "Is the Little Medicine Saint here to buy something?"
"Miss Xu is too polite. I really don't deserve the title of Little Medicine Saint. Just call me Chu Chen. I was in a hurry last time and didn't ask for your name."
"The Little Medicine Saint is too modest. Then I'll call you Young Master Chu. You can just call me Xu Yuan." The blue-clothed young girl gently rolled up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white skin. She poured Chu Chen a cup of green tea that emitted white steam.
There were differences between sects and the secular world. Disciples of sects were generally addressed as senior martial brother or senior martial sister.
For example, Chu Chen couldn't tell whether she was a disciple of Biquan Xianzong or not, so he addressed her as "Miss." The titles of "Young Master" and "Miss" that she addressed him as were only used by some of the secular world's famous families.
From this, it could be seen that this blue-clothed young girl was definitely not a disciple of Biquan Xianzong. Then why did she live in Biquan Xianzong's market?
Chu Chen took a sip of the tea and said frankly, "To tell you the truth, I came this time to buy some cultivation method jade slips for my own reference."
"Oh? What level of cultivation method do you want? I know a bit about the market here. I can help Young Master Chu a bit. "
