Starfish Island was named after its shape resembled a starfish. It was three hundred li long and two hundred li wide. The center of the island was high and covered with dense mountains. There weren't any spirit mines on the island, only a four to five li long section of a low-grade spirit vein.
Because the island was located on an important transportation route, there were at least eight thousand cultivators passing through the island every month. A large power had established a market on the island to buy materials from demonic beasts, as well as sell talismans, pills, and other cultivation items.
On this day, a streak of green light flew over from the distant horizon. Not long after, the green light stopped above the open market at the center of the island. The green light was shockingly a five to six zhang long green wooden boat. There were six cultivators standing on it, precisely Immortal Wang's group.
The market was established in a valley that extended in all directions. The entire valley seemed to be over ten li wide.
Wang Changsheng looked down and saw countless large and small buildings lined up together. At the same time, there were many black dots of people going in and out of these buildings.
Gao Chong controlled the Jade Cloud Boat to land in an open space several li away from the valley. Wang Changsheng's group of six walked out of the green wooden boat.
Gao Chong gathered everyone and said, "Junior Brothers and Sisters, this market was established by the Ocean Sand Sect. Our sect doesn't have any stores here. There are all sorts of people who come here, so you must be careful. Do not fight or fight with others. Four hours later, we will meet here. Brother Wang, there is a shop called the Hundred Spirit Hall that sells all kinds of spirit beasts. Once you enter the market, walk five hundred meters and turn left. Junior Brother Li, walk five hundred meters straight and turn left. Then walk another five hundred meters and you will see a Thousand Forging Pavilion that sells all kinds of refining materials. You can go take a look. Alright, if there are no problems, you can move freely!"
Finished speaking, Gao Chong brought the blue-robed woman to the entrance of the valley.
"Brother Wang, you and I are going the same way. How about we go together?" The red-robed man narrowed his eyes and smiled at Wang Changsheng.
Wang Changsheng nodded and followed the red-robed man to the nearby valley.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the valley. A burst of bustling sounds came from the valley, and it looked very lively.
On both sides of the street were buildings made of bluestone. They were of different sizes. The taller buildings were more than a hundred feet tall, while the shorter ones were only a few feet tall.
Many Immortal Cultivators in various outfits were walking on the streets or entering and exiting the buildings on both sides.
Since they only gathered after four hours, Wang Changsheng wasn't in a hurry to buy the Sea Ape. He walked along the street.
Although the number of shops on both sides of the street was not small, the types of business they operated were generally divided into a few categories.
The first type purchased all kinds of demonic beast materials. This type of shop had the most quantity, and the purchase price was slightly more expensive than the shops on Jade Cloud Island. The second type sold medicinal pills, magic tools, talismans, and other common immortal cultivation items. The price was also slightly more expensive than the shops on Jade Cloud Island.
Wang Changsheng and the red-clothed man went around a few shops and saw quite a few rare items, such as some rare ores, demon beast cores, and so on.
Wang Changsheng bought some level four demon beast skins, intending to use them to refine blank talisman papers. The red-clothed man bought some ores and demon beast materials.
Not long after, Wang Changsheng and the red-clothed man arrived in front of a two-story bluestone pavilion. The signboard of the shop had three golden words written on it: Hundred Spirit Hall.
After the red-clothed man and Wang Changsheng exchanged a few polite words, they continued to walk forward. Wang Changsheng walked into the Hundred Spirit Hall.
There were some iron cages in the hall on the first floor. Some small spirit beasts were kept in them. There were also a few Sea Apes, but they were only level one. They were far from Wang Changsheng's needs.
Wang Changsheng's gaze swept across the hall on the first floor. He then went straight to the second floor.
When Wang Changsheng went to the second floor, he saw a middle-aged scholar with a scholarly look in the room. He was drinking tea and chatting with a man and a woman.
The woman was wearing a white palace dress. She had a cold expression. The man was a tall young man in white. He looked at the woman with a burning gaze.
"Hey, Senior Murong." Seeing the woman in the palace dress, Wang Changsheng subconsciously let out a soft cry.
"Brother Wang, it's you." Murong Bing saw Wang Changsheng and a touch of joy appeared on her face.
Seeing the change of expression on Murong Bing's face, the white-clothed young man's face suddenly darkened. He looked at Wang Changsheng with a trace of hostility.
"What a coincidence! Senior Murong, this is … "Wang Changsheng smiled at Murong Bing and greeted her. He rolled his eyes and his gaze fell on the white-clothed young man.
"Yang Qian, the direct disciple of the head." Before Murong Bing could speak, the white-clothed young man spoke first. His face was full of pride.
"So it's Senior Yang." Wang Changsheng saw the expression on the white-clothed young man's face. He was a little unhappy, but he still braced himself and greeted him.
"Brother Wang, I'll wait for you downstairs. I have something to discuss with you. Remember to find me downstairs after you're done shopping." After saying that, Murong Bing stood up and excused herself from the middle-aged scholar. She then walked downstairs.
"Wait for me, Senior Murong." Seeing this, the white-clothed young man glared fiercely at Wang Changsheng and quickly chased after her.
"Fellow Daoist, I'm the shopkeeper of Hundred Spirit Hall, Qian Ming. How can I help you?" The middle-aged man stood up and said with a smile.
"I want to buy a second-grade Sea Ape. Does your shop have it? How much is it?" Wang Changsheng went straight to the point.
"Second-grade Sea Ape? We happen to have one in our shop. It's 1,500 spirit stones. "
"That's good. Take me to see it. If there's no problem, I'll buy it." Wang Changsheng nodded and said.
"Fellow Daoist, this way please." The middle-aged scholar nodded with a smile and led Wang Changsheng to a secret room.
After a quarter of an hour, the middle-aged scholar sent Wang Changsheng out of the secret room with a smile on his face. Wang Changsheng had another Spirit Beast Pouch on his waist.
Returning to the first floor, Wang Changsheng saw the white-clothed young man talking to Murong Bing. However, Murong Bing had an ice- cold look on her face. It seemed that she didn't want to pay attention to the white-clothed young man.
"Senior Murong, Senior Yang, I'm sorry for making you wait." Wang Changsheng walked towards the two and said apologetically.
"We haven't been waiting for long. By the way, Junior Brother Wang, Junior Brother Yang, Junior Brother Yang, and some of our fellow disciples have formed a team to hunt Monster Beasts. Are you interested in joining us?" Murong Bing shook her head and changed her tone.
"I'm sorry, Senior Murong. I've already joined another hunting team." Wang Changsheng said with a wry smile.
When Murong Bing heard this, she was a little disappointed. She immediately thought of something and said, "By the way, Brother Wang, do you have any extra Intermediate Escape Talismans? Sell me a few. "
"Yes, how many do you want?"
Murong Bing pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I want two of each of the five elements!"
When Wang Changsheng heard this, he nodded and took out ten Intermediate Escape Talismans and handed them to Murong Bing. He also took a storage pouch from the latter.
After that, Murong Bing and Wang Changsheng exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving.
"Brother Wang, I hope you will stay away from Senior Murong in the future. Do you understand?" Yang Qian glanced coldly at Wang Changsheng and said with deep meaning. After that, he quickly chased after Murong Bing.
In response, Wang Changsheng only lightly smiled and didn't take Yang Qian's words to heart.
Although Yang Qian was the Sect Master's disciple, Wang Changsheng wouldn't be frightened by a few words. He could see that Murong Bing was a little disgusted with Yang Qian.
In truth, Wang Changsheng had a good impression of Senior Murong. If this woman became his Dao Companion, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
"Brother Wang, what are you laughing about?" A familiar voice interrupted Wang Changsheng's thoughts.
Immortal Wang came back to his senses and discovered that a red-clothed man was looking at him with a smile.
"Oh, so it's Brother Li. Didn't Brother Li want to buy refining materials to repair magic tools? So fast? "Wang Changsheng asked with a smile.
"The Thousand Refinement Pavilion has a complete stock, so I quickly bought what I needed. There's still some time before the gathering time, so why don't we walk around together?" the red-clothed man suggested.
Wang Changsheng nodded and walked around the market with the red-clothed man.
