Without Daoren pointing out where the Immortal Market was, Zhang Yan didn't take it to heart. It was just a little more effort.
After Feixiao flew a few hundred miles away, he waved his sleeve and a talisman flew out from his sleeve. It floated three feet in front of him and he drew a seal on it with his fingers. He then slapped it and said, "Search!" As soon as the talisman received the order, it spontaneously combusted without any fire. First, it circled around a few times, then it floated towards the northwest direction, automatically searching for the place where the golden jade spiritual Qi was the most abundant. Zhang Yan followed behind on the cloud. When the talisman was completely burned, he took out another one.
After a few times, Zhang Yan noticed that this Flying Ship Immortal Market wasn't fixed to a single place, and it moved about indeterminately in the sky. Presumably, those people that went there probably had a token like a talisman to point the way, and that was how they were able to find it.
After another seven or eight talismans were burned, he saw a majestic flying city that lay across the sky.
This flying city was formed by hundreds of flying ships that were three hundred feet in length. They were connected by Cloudy Sun Gold Locks. The top of the flying ships was laid with horizontal boards, and the four corners had a tall watchtower. The bulwarks were painted gold and were hung with embroidered sails. Below them, there were four small jade dumplings that were three feet in length. At the highest point of the city, there was a nine-story temple with overhanging eaves. It was surrounded by buildings that surrounded the moon, and it had a grand atmosphere.
In the sky above the celestial market, there were hundreds of lights rising and falling like flying silver leaves. From time to time, cultivators would come from all directions and greet each other in the sky. For a time, it was very lively.
When Zhang Yan's flying light flew over, sword rays shot out and split the atmosphere. It was like a ray of starlight that filled the sky. It was brilliant and dazzling. It was completely different from ordinary flying artifacts. Some cultivators with good eyesight recognized that it was flying on a sword. They all moved aside and didn't dare to compete with him.
There were a few young men and women sitting on a flying vessel nearby, and the eyes of a beautiful young woman around the age of 15 or 16 lit up as she pointed forward and said, "Senior Brother, what Magic Artifact is that?" That Shixiong looked at her with some reverence and said in a low voice, "That's not a magic tool, but a sword ball that transforms into light. This person's cultivation base is at least on par with En Shifu." The young girl was puzzled. "Why has Shixiong never seen En Shifu use the sword ball?" she asked. The senior martial brother said helplessly, "Junior Martial Sister hasn't been in the sect for long, so I don't know. It's just that this sword pellet isn't easy to obtain. Even a Yuanying cultivator would need over ten years to refine it. It's not something a big sect can do."
The young girl's eyes shone brightly, and she clenched her fists. "I wonder if there will be a sword pellet among the treasures at the trade fair tomorrow. Let's buy one too."
Hearing the naive words of his junior martial sister, the senior martial brother smiled bitterly. "Junior Martial Sister, there might be a sword pellet, but without the inheritance of a sword manual and without the cultivation of a Mystic Light Realm, even if we get it, we probably won't even be able to use the carefree light, let alone fly freely in the sky. It would just be a decoration."
The young girl didn't care about all this. She kept shaking his arm and insisted on buying a sword pellet. The senior martial brother couldn't resist her, so he could only agree.
Zhang Yan looked at the Celestial Market from afar and felt that there were many people coming in and out of this place. It wasn't any worse than the bustling city in the mortal world. When he stepped onto this place, he saw many nobles riding carriages and servants. He was surprised and asked a welcoming boy standing at the side with a smile, "Is this place always so noisy?"
The boy on duty said honestly, "It's not like that. It's usually very quiet here."
At this moment, an experienced middle-aged servant on duty walked forward. He first told the boy to leave before cupping his hands and saying with a smile, "Celestial guest, I'll let you know that there will be several treasures that have been kept for a long time in the Celestial Market tomorrow. Because the news was spread before the year, it attracted guests from all over."
Although he didn't recognize Zhang Yan, he could tell that Zhang Yan was a cultivator at the Mystic Light Realm when he flew over without using an artifact. In some small sects, he would be an elder, so he came forward carefully to welcome him.
Seeing that Zhang Yan nodded slightly and didn't reject him talking, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'm Yan Tong, the deacon that receives guests here. Celestial guest, why don't you find a palace to stay in? The Qi Chang Tower in Zhou City is a good place to go. The decorations inside are elegant, and there are female celestials playing flutes. The opening of the market tomorrow will be held in front of this tower. It'll be very convenient for you to view the scenery and entertain guests." Zhang Yan was interested when he heard this. He didn't expect that not only was there a mix of celestial dust here, but even mortals were also here. The atmosphere of merchants was very thick. However, if it wasn't like this, this place wouldn't be so prosperous.
He thought to himself that cultivators from all over gathered here, so he would definitely be able to find out a lot of information about the materials needed to condense the core. Although he was going to visit the Northstar Sect, it wouldn't matter if he stayed for a few days. He could find a place to stay and buy a few treasures before going there. It wouldn't be too late to lose face as a disciple of a large sect. Thus, he nodded and said, "Then lead the way."
When he was opening his meridians, he had obtained forty to fifty thousand spirit shells from the Fluorescent Cloud Shell Yard. This time, he used five sleeves to store them all in one go. Now that he had a lot of wealth, even a small sect couldn't compare to him, so he was very confident.
Yan Tong was happy when he heard this. This place wasn't convenient for him to fly, so he called a carriage pulled by four fine horses over and used it as a means of transportation. He would act as the driver.
Zhang Yan got on the carriage and looked at the scenery along the way. On this celestial market, there would be a light gauze curtain set up every few boats to act as a screen. The two ends of the gauze curtain were hung with jewels, and in the middle, there were jewels hanging down. It was exceptionally luxurious.
He thought to himself that the person who could run this celestial market wasn't simple. However, his thoughts were all on worldly wealth, so it was hard to say how high his cultivation was.
Yan Tong was a person who spoke fluently, and his words were like pearls. Along the way, he picked out some interesting things to talk about, so he didn't feel bored at all.
In less than an hour, Zhang Yan found himself at the bottom of the nine-tiered temple. He lifted his head to look, and on the horizontal board of this temple, there were three golden words, "Qi Chang Floor". Just now, he only had a rough look from afar, but now that he got closer, he saw that the temple was covered with jade glazed tiles. When the sunlight shone on it, it appeared colorful in the clouds. Below the eaves, there were hundreds of silver bells swaying, giving off a clear, melodious sound.
With Yan Tong leading the way, he got off the carriage and crossed a golden bridge in front of the door. After entering the main door, a wide hall appeared in front of him. On both sides of the agate vases, there was a stalk of purple and vermillion coral. In the middle of the hall, there was a peach wood table, and on top of it, there was a beautiful jade stone. The Qi of Immortal Qi seeped into the skin and moistened the chest. The pillars in the hall shone with golden light, and each one of them was pasted with at least ten thousand evil-warding gold foil seals. The white jade tiles beneath his feet were carved with auspicious beasts and celestial birds, each of them in a different posture, and they were all very lifelike.
If Zhang Yan was still the young master of an official's family, he would have been amazed at such a magnificent scene. But now that he had stepped onto the path of cultivation, he was only focused on longevity. He felt that these ornaments were of no use to him. Not only did he not find it strange, he even felt that it was a little tacky.
Yan Tong carefully sized up Zhang Yan's expression, and saw that he was not moved at all, and even seemed to be disapproving. He thought, "Previously, no matter who came here, they would all praise this grandeur, and ask who the owner of this place is. But this person seems to be picky, showing that he is someone who has seen much of the world. I don't know which Xuanmen clan he came from, but I have to be careful and curry favor with him. Who knows, I might even get some benefits." With this thought, he became even more enthusiastic.
Not long after, he led Zhang Yan to a quiet room on the eighth floor, and said, "Immortal guest, you must have had a hard journey. I will take my leave first." Zhang Yan saw that the table and bookshelf were all set up, and the vase of flowers on the high table gave off a faint fragrance. It was not as gaudy as the furnishings in the outside room. He nodded, and casually threw out a bottle of pills. He said indifferently, "Take care of the outside, and do not disturb me if there is nothing important. Come back tomorrow morning, I have something to ask."
Yan Tong received the pill, and did not look at it carefully before putting it into his sleeves. He agreed, and went down the stairs, and hurriedly left Qi Chang Tower. He opened it to a deserted corner, and took a sniff. Instantly, his face was filled with ecstasy, and his hands trembled. He said in shock, "It's a Major Yuan Pill! This person really has a great background. "
Thinking about how he still had to come here tomorrow, Yan Tong became even more excited. He looked left and right, and seeing that no one was following him, he left.
After Yan Tong left, Zhang Yan closed the door and formed a technique. Several hundred talisman flutes flew out and sealed the doors and windows. He then opened the Mountain and River Diagram and slowly drew out the baleful aura of metal and fire. He then started to breathe in and out.
After reaching the Mystic Light Realm, it was just a matter of hard work. As long as he could protect his heart, he would be able to reach the third level of the Mystic Light Realm. The hard part was forming the golden core. Not only was it hard to find external herbs, but forming the core was also a test of one's heart. Who knew how many geniuses had died before.
If he reached the third level of the Mystic Light Realm earlier, he would have more confidence in finding external herbs. Therefore, as long as he had the time, he didn't want to delay his cultivation.
In the east room of Qi Chang Tower, there was a white-robed female with a veil over her face sitting in the main hall. She said coldly to the two servants in front of her, "Have you finished what I asked you to do? Ignoring everything else, I must get the Zoysia Horse Fruit tomorrow. "
Her voice was slightly hoarse and wasn't as pleasant as a normal girl's voice, but it had a strange charm to it.
One of the servants replied submissively, "Reporting to my wife, all the wealthy guests who came to the celestial market this time, as long as they have a bit of wealth, we have already informed them in advance. It's just that there seems to be a guest staying in the west wing just now. This person seems to have some background, so we haven't taken care of him yet." The other servant cast a sidelong glance at his companion and suddenly interrupted, "Wife, there are only a few families that have the financial ability to compete with me. Since that person came here alone and is a new face, he must be a disciple of some sect that has come out to travel. He's just looking for something new and fun. There's no need to pay too much attention to him."
The white-robed female thought about it and didn't put it to heart. She nodded her head and waved her hand, "Then go and prepare. A few people from our sect will be coming later, and one of them is an esteemed guest from the Shaoqing Sect. Don't neglect them."
