For the next few days, he could at least go out for a walk during the day. Zhaoye City was indeed incomparable to Pu City. It was full of worldly affairs that could make people intoxicated. However, Lou Xiaoyi was not someone who would be easily intoxicated. Although he had a vague memory of his previous life, he had inherited a carefree attitude of not caring about anything.
He drank wine and ate meat, but he would forget about them once he left the restaurant. He did not go to places of debauchery because such places of entertainment were banned before and after the new emperor ascended the throne. It was a pity.
His family in Pu City was very strict. His mother and Aunt Caihong were keeping an eye on him. Although they did not care if he went out for a long run, if he stayed in the brothels, he would probably be reprimanded the next day!
He stayed in Zhaoye City until the eighth day, the second day after the new emperor ascended the throne. Lou Xiaoyi took two horses out of Yao Mansion and never returned!
He had always scoffed at worldly etiquette. A cultivator should be free and easy like a cultivator. Saying goodbye in person would mean countless troubles, banquets, letters, local specialties, and possibly countless heartfelt words to persuade him to improve himself … It was too tiring!
This time, he left the city through the south gate. Before returning to Pu City, he wanted to go to the market on Feng Huang Mountain outside the city to exchange for some spiritual stones. Since he was out, he would try his best to settle the matter so that he could cultivate in peace.
Although he was still a rookie in cultivation, his four years of cultivation experience had turned him into an experienced rookie. He also had a basic understanding of the cultivation markets in Ye Kingdom. These were all obtained from Hu Yong and a few people in the circle of rogue cultivators in Pu City. They would occasionally meet to exchange their cultivation experience and knowledge. During the contact, Lou Xiaoyi gradually learned that there were four to five cultivation markets in Ye Kingdom.
As the capital of the country, it was the place where rogue cultivators gathered the most. Of course, there would be a market near the Night Reflection City. Moreover, the scale of the market was not small. It was one of the middle to low-level markets in the Night Reflection Country. It was also Lou Xiaoyi's target this time.
Over the years, he had accumulated a lot of Red Thread Worms, and it was time to cash them out. These things were living creatures, and they could not be preserved for long periods of time like Spiritual Corpses. Putting them in the Spirit Beast Pouch would consume them. Without the environment of the Gobi Desert, the Red Thread Worms' spiritual vigor would weaken after two to three years. Moreover, these things would fight with each other in the Spirit Beast Pouch, which was very troublesome.
Feng Huang Mountain was the place where Taoist Lin Quan said there were flying boats from outer space to pick up cultivators. It was also a large market outside Night Sunshine City. Before Lou Xiaoyi got close, he could already feel the hustle and bustle of the market. It was a bustling scene.
"There are so many cultivators in the Night Reflection Country?"
Lou Xiaoyi quickly understood. The cultivators gathered here were not only from the Night Reflection Country, but also from Liang, Daming, Zhongwu, Chao Nei, Nan Yue, Teng Chong, Lu Wei, and more than a dozen other countries. Basically, all the countries in the cultivation world were included. There was only one reason for them to gather here, and that was for the once-a-decade flying boats to ferry people!
From this point of view, the mastermind of the flying boats to ferry people was not a sect or force from this low-level cultivation world. It should be from the so-called Upper Realm. Their purpose was to recruit talents. After all, to be able to build a foundation in such a barren land meant that they had enough potential. What did the cultivation world rely on to develop?
Of course, talents! This was the reason why the Upper Realm would come down to harvest people every ten years! The natives were also happy to be harvested. Going to the Upper Realm meant better conditions for cultivation, more spiritual vigor, more resources, and a brighter future. Why not?
When they were successful, they could even return to their home planet!
For the sects and forces, they were also willing to send their disciples away. This was the glory of their orthodoxy. Moreover, if some of the people left, the remaining resources would be easier to distribute. It was a very practical thing.
Once every ten years, these people would rush to the landing site of the flying boat. Some of them were lone travelers, but of course, most of them were from sects. They were also the most well-informed ones. They brought their families and friends with them. Except for a few who wanted to board the flying boat and leave, most of them wanted to take this opportunity to see the flying boat that was said to be able to float in the void. They wanted to see the cultivation environment of the foreign land, get in touch with the cultivators of different countries, and the cultivation orthodoxies of different sects …
This cultivation world was relatively isolated in terms of communication. Due to the lack of spiritual vigor and the scarcity of resources, there were very few confrontations between major cultivation orthodoxies. The outstanding ones, the ones with potential, and the ones with a bright future had all gone to the Upper Realm. What was the point of leaving behind a group of dwarves to compete?
However, the human race was a race that longed for communication. Therefore, the flying boat gathering that happened once every ten years became a carnival for the cultivators of the entire world. When the flying boats left, it was not the end, but the beginning!
Therefore, Phoenix Mountain became the largest open-air market in the cultivation world. All kinds of transactions took place here. Some were open, some were secret, some were deceitful, and so on. Every time the flying boat left, it would last for several months.
This was also the reason why almost all the cultivators left the city when Taoist Lin Quan called for help in Night Illumination City. They did not go to other places, but came here to try their luck!
Under such circumstances, Lou Xiaoyi's so-called huge sum of money and thousands of red thread worms would probably cause a bloody conflict if he brought them to Crane Mountain. Wealth that would make people's hearts beat faster and their eyes red with envy was also an ordinary transaction here!
The cultivators here came from all over the cultivation world, and most of them were disciples of sects with roots and orthodoxies. In front of these people, he was just a bumpkin who had never seen the world!
Lou Xiaobao!
The original market in Phoenix Mountain was built in a valley. It was big and flat. However, after the cultivators of the entire cultivation world swarmed in, it was too late to rebuild it. Therefore, the open-air flea market was the mainstream.
The market could be a flea market, but people could not be fleas. The orthodoxies of the sects that maintained the market would do their best to do so. This involved the reputation of the orthodoxy and also related to the commission income. It was absolutely not something to be taken lightly.
There were cultivators at the entrance of the valley. They did not reject rogue cultivators, but mortals. In the past, there were no restrictions on mortals coming in and out of the Phoenix Mountain Valley. However, during this period of time, the number of cultivators had skyrocketed. If curious mortals were allowed to come in, it would be too crowded, which was what the owner did not want to see.
As soon as Lou Xiaoyi entered the valley, he was shocked. Looking around, he saw that there were thousands of people. And this was because he couldn't use his perception at all. He couldn't tell how many people there were. Because everyone here was a cultivator, they all had methods to prevent others from spying on them. Therefore, as soon as the area was expanded, his perception would immediately fail.
It was like an ant mixed in a herd of animals. How could he count how many lions, tigers, and wild wolves there were?
Before, he had been lamenting that he had not seen many talents of the sects. Now, there were thousands of them, many of whom had really built the Taoist foundation. It was too much for the eyes to take in.
