After exclaiming in admiration, Xu Fan carefully examined the map of the city square.

From the map, the maze of markets could be seen very clearly. The layout of the markets was very regular. The stalls and shops here were arranged according to the type of business, and various areas were clearly marked out.

Here, there were various kinds of commercial facilities such as inns, restaurants, auction houses, and so on. Especially regarding the items needed by the cultivators, which were the key commodities of the city square, the introduction was the most detailed. Amongst the items used by cultivators, they were mainly divided into the refining, alchemy, talisman, and miscellaneous categories. These were all clearly stated in the blueprints.

In addition, the bulletin board also introduced each category in more detail.

For example, the refining category included the sale of magical equipment, the sale of materials for refining, and the introduction of shops specialized in refining. For example, cultivators could bring their own materials and the refining shop could collect a certain processing fee, which could then customize and refine magical equipment according to the customer's request.

For example, pill refining included the sale of various medicinal pills, herbs, pill formulas, and pill furnaces; talisman crafting included the sale of magic talismans, talisman crafting materials, talisman crafting secret manuals, and so on. The introduction of the miscellaneous class was relatively detailed. The miscellaneous class bag contained a wide range of materials, from cultivation secret manuals, maps, to various pet items. There were even pet eggs, cultivation techniques, magic techniques, and so on.

In short, this notice board encompassed every aspect of the city square, and besides the price, it was almost everything. Any newcomer, whether cultivator or mortal, could find out the specific situation of the city square through this notice board, which could be said to be much more detailed and detailed than those advertisements on Earth.

After Xu Fan finished reading the notice board from beginning to end, Xia Weiwei giggled and teased, "How about it?" Country bumpkin, you can't not know these words, right? Do you still need me to tell you? "

"Of course not, no need, no need!"

Xu Fan was speechless. This guy realized that ever since he sneaked an attack on Xia Weiwei's kiss, this girl was always seizing every opportunity to despise him, so he couldn't help but bitterly smile. NNND, this girl really did hold a grudge.

"F * ck, it smells so good. For such a sweet kiss, any disdain is worth it. At night, I've decided not to wash my mouth." Xu Fan looked at Xia Weiwei's seductive mouth and made a decision in his heart.

Seeing that Xu Fan had finished reading the notice board, she said in a familiar tone, "Alright, bumpkin, let's go find an inn to stay at first. After that, I'll take you out to broaden your horizons, and also sell the demon beasts we've hunted in the past two days."

Other than the introductions he had seen on the notice board, Xu Fan knew nothing about the marketplace. Naturally, he listened to Xia Weiwei's instructions, and followed her towards a row of tall buildings at the edge of the square.

Although Xia Weiwei had left the chain hanging around the entrance of the market, after entering, Xu Fan clearly felt that this girl was very familiar with this place, which meant that she really had come to the market and hadn't boasted.

After a while, Xia Weiwei arrived at a seven-storey pavilion with Xu Fan in tow. There was a large, eye-catching sign hanging over the building: Pleasing Hostel.

From the outside, this loft looked very luxurious, and at the door stood a beautiful female cultivator. This female cultivator had about five floors, and when she saw Xia Weiwei bringing Xu Fan over, she immediately came up to greet her. She said with a smile, "Senior fairy, do you want to stay here?"

Xu Fan looked at the female cultivator and she suddenly became depressed. Damn, he thought to himself, even a girl standing at the door has a higher cultivation level than me. What a shame. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but give the female cultivator another glance.

Xia Weiwei had originally raised her head and nodded slightly at the female cultivator. Just as she was about to enter the inn, she saw from the corner of her eyes that Xu Fan was staring at the female cultivator.

"Oh, oh …"

Xu Fan quickly stepped forward, revealing his white teeth in embarrassment as he grimaced at the female cultivator.

However, the female cultivator covered her mouth and laughed. She said to Xia Weiwei, "Senior fairy, your mortal slave is really funny!"

Xia Weiwei was stunned. She turned her head and saw Xu Fan stagger. Black lines covered his face, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In reality, Xu Fan couldn't blame that female cultivator for misunderstanding his identity.

Firstly, it was because after this fellow had broken through the Brahma Monarch's Body Tempering Scripture, the special effects of the Body Tempering Technique had naturally concealed his aura. Secondly, the fact that his cultivation level had surpassed his own by a large level did not reveal that he was a 3rd level Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator.

As a result, with that woman's cultivation level at the 5th layer of Qi Cultivator, she naturally wouldn't be able to tell that Xu Fan was a cultivator.

Not only that, if Xu Fan hadn't used a spell in front of Xia Weiwei and told her about his cultivation, even Xia Weiwei, who was at Qi Disciple level 10, wouldn't have known that he was a 3rd level Qi Disciple cultivator.

Secondly, even though Xu Fan already had three storage pouches, he felt that the storage pouches hanging from his waist made him look too much like a disciple of the Beggar Gang. Thus, he had put all of them into the Seven Chaos Tower.

That was why the female cultivator had mistakenly thought that Xu Fan was Xia Weiwei's mortal slave.

"Damned slave, why aren't you coming over here with me!"

Xia Weiwei took the chance to play Xu Fan.

Xu Fan wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He walked in front of Xia Weiwei, pointed at his own face, and said in an unconvinced manner, "Do I look like someone else's servant?"

Xia Weiwei put on a straight face and shook her head. Xu Fan was wild with joy, but soon after, Xia Weiwei said something else, causing him to immediately fall from heaven to hell.

Xia Weiwei said, "Bastard, you're not like other people's servants, because you're my servant!"

"..."

Under the guidance of the female doorman cultivator, Xu Fan followed Xia Weiwei to the first floor of the Pleasing Hostel. This place was where the registration procedures were handled, and it was a bit similar to the front desk of the hotel Xu Fan had seen in his previous life.

The person in charge of the procedures was this middle-aged cultivator. Seeing a mortal like Xu Fan, he directly ignored him and warmly greeted Xia Weiwei.

The registration process was very simple. He had to hand over the spirit stones and take out a special entry card.

However, depending on how much they paid, they would be staying in different rooms.

One hundred low-grade spirit stones was the cheapest room, while the most expensive room cost as much as five thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Xia Weiwei glanced at Xu Fan and said in a low voice, "Country bumpkin, how many spirit stones do you have on you?"

Xu Fan stared blankly. "No way. You're asking me to pay. I only have thirteen Spirit Stones on me."

Xia Weiwei was overjoyed. "Thirteen high-grade spirit stones? I didn't realize that you, this bumpkin, was actually a rich man. Wonderful, bumpkin, hurry up and take out a spirit stone. Let's choose the two most expensive rooms. This kind of rooms have the best Spirit Convergence Array, it can increase one's cultivation speed. "

"Oh."

Xu Fan responded, then sent out a divine will. Immediately, a low-grade Spirit Stone appeared in his hand.

In the next moment, the expressions of the three people present all changed.

The middle-aged cultivator and the female cultivator leading the way were both shocked, but also secretly despised Xu Fan.

They were shocked that they could not see that the young man in front of them was a cultivator at all, and did not even feel a trace of a cultivator. This meant that the young man must be a senior with a higher cultivation base than them, perhaps even a Foundation Establishment cultivator, especially the female cultivator who previously said that Xu Fan was a mortal servant.

What a joke, if he offended such a cultivator, the consequences would be severe. Who didn't know that in the cultivation world, the strong were respected and strength was paramount? Many cultivators, especially the high-level cultivators, were temperamental and could easily kill.

Wasn't it a joke that this senior wanted to rent the best room with only two low-grade spirit stones? Could it be that he wanted to forcefully rent it? Hmph, in the marketplace, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you have to follow the rules of the marketplace.

Xia Weiwei's pretty face fell as she glared at the guy and said in a very dissatisfied tone, "What? You took out a low-grade spirit stone? Damn bumpkin, you're intentionally angry at me, aren't you? Humph! Could it be that you are unwilling to part with your spirit stones?! Such a petty person! "

"I …"

Xu Fan stared in shock. Dammit, he thought, so that's a low-grade Spirit Stone! I am truly more wronged than Dou Er, but how do I know this is a low rank soul stone. Furthermore, I only have thirteen of these on me.

Seeing that Xia Weiwei was staring at him with an unfriendly expression, Xu Fan threw caution to the wind and took out all thirteen low-grade spirit stones. He handed them over to Xia Weiwei and said, "Le, I have thirteen of these spirit stones."

"You … Your soul is weak! Damn bumpkin, you need me to pay you spirit stones if you want to stay at the inn! "

Xia Weiwei was so angry that she stomped her feet. However, she had no choice but to take out a few spirit stones. After gathering two hundred spirit stones, she handed them to the middle-aged cultivator. She was prepared to take two of the most ordinary rooms.

At this time, Xu Fan pulled the middle-aged cultivator and said, "She gave you an extra hundred spirit stones. We only want one room!"

"This …" The middle-aged cultivator stared dumbfoundedly at Xu Fan and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Die!" Who wants to share a room with you! Fellow daoist, ignore him. We only want two rooms. "

Xia Weiwei's pretty face turned red as she hurriedly said.

Xu Fan rubbed his chin and said, "Beauty Weiwei, it's not like we've never lived together before, why waste spirit stones for two rooms."

"You … "You …"

This time, Xia Weiwei was both embarrassed and anxious. She fiercely stomped on Xu Fan, taking advantage of his miserable shriek to grab the two residence cards in the hand of the dumbstruck middle-aged cultivator and run away.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Seeing that Xia Weiwei had run away, Xu Fan hurriedly shouted and chased after her.

Behind him, the middle-aged cultivator and the female cultivator both looked at each other. Finally, the middle-aged cultivator sighed and said, "This senior is really unfathomable, he must be a great figure hiding in the shadows. We should still be careful, don't accidentally anger him."

"..."

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, Xu Fan fawned and followed the displeased Xia Weiwei out of the Pleasant Inn.

"Weiwei, I really don't have spirit stones. If I have spirit stones, I promise I'll choose the best room for you to stay in." Xu Fan had a smile on his face as he solemnly vowed.

"Humph!" "Stingy guy, don't talk to me. I don't know you." Xia Weiwei did not sell the books, but her face was still as tense as ever.

Xu Fan could only helplessly say, "Okay, I'll go back and get a bottle of Superior Grade Qi Returning Pills for that guy. It'll be fine if he gives you the best room, right?"

After speaking, Xu Fan stopped in his tracks, turned around, and prepared to look for the middle-aged cultivator at the inn.

"Are you crazy?"

Xia Weiwei hurriedly pulled Xu Fan back, angrily and anxiously saying, "Stupid bumpkin, didn't I tell you before that you mustn't bring out high quality Energy Recovery Pills?" You simply ignore my words, don't you think your life is too long? "

Xu Fan felt a wave of warmth in his heart. He thought to himself, "Girl, you're really worried about me, but I don't have that many spirit stones to rent the best room for you to live in. Aren't I afraid you'll be angry with me?"

Xia Weiwei felt a sweetness in her heart, but her face was full of anger as she said, "Why would I insist on letting you the best room?" Furthermore, we will only live here for a day, so it's not worth spending that many spirit stones. Alright, I can't not stay in a high class room, right?

Xu Fan looked up and said, "Weiwei, you're not mad at me anymore, right?"

"Hmph. I'm too lazy to be angry. Let's go!"

"Oh oh!" Beauty Weiwei is mighty! "

"..."

The two of them walked out of the Elegant Luck Inn. Xia Weiwei had just taken Xu Fan through a street when Xu Fan's eyes lit up. He pointed to a restaurant in front of them called 'Guest Residence' and said, "Weiwei, there's a restaurant there. Why don't we go eat something first?"

Xia Weiwei pouted and asked curiously, "Country bumpkin, are you stupid?"

Xu Fan was confused. "What does it have to do with being stupid or not if I invite you to a restaurant to eat?"

Xia Weiwei stared at Xu Fan and doubtfully asked, "Didn't you run out of spirit stones?" Were you lying to me just now? "

Xu Fan was stunned. "Don't tell me eating here requires spirit stones?" It can't be? Could it be that the things here are made of gold? "

Xia Weiwei snappily retorted, "Nonsense! This was a marketplace for cultivators, so why couldn't they use spirit stones? Of course it would cost spirit stones to go to the restaurant to eat, bumpkin, do you think those silver notes you have with you can be used as spirit stones? "

Xu Fan was speechless, then said with an embarrassed smile, "Isn't this my first time here? How would I know?"

Xia Weiwei thought for a moment, then explained, "The restaurants and tea shops here are completely different from those in the mortal world. The tea houses in the mortal world only provide five grains and ordinary tea leaves, while the restaurants and tea shops here provide things that are more expensive than gold, whether it's wine, food, fruits, or snacks, they are all filled with the spirit energy of the world, which is very useful for cultivation. Usually, when eating a meal or drinking tea once, you need at least ten spirit stones, or at most a thousand spirit stones."

"So that's how it is. I was wondering." Xu Fan suddenly understood.

Xia Weiwei giggled, "How is it? "Bun, are you still treating me to food?"

"Please!"

Xia Weiwei was stunned, but then she heard this guy add, "But not now!"

"..."

Not long after arriving at the marketplace, Xu Fan felt that his knowledge and experience had greatly increased, and he became even more curious about the marketplace. Under Xia Weiwei's lead, the two of them turned a few more bluestone streets, then arrived at a shop called the Plethora Gem Tower in the marketplace's refinery area.

Once he arrived, Xu Fan was completely shocked by what he saw.

Entering the Myriad Treasures Store, there was a bright hall that could fit dozens of people without feeling crowded. Inside the hall, there was an extremely long counter made of precious red tung wood, and in front of the counter stood seven or eight shop assistants wearing green uniforms. All of these shop assistants were at least Qi Disciple level 7.

When Xu Fan and Xia Weiwei walked in, two green-clothed shop assistants were in the hall, each explaining something to a few cultivators who seemed to be guests.

Xu Fan looked around and discovered that inside the counter, there were many different kinds of magic tools. From the looks of it, there were flying swords, rings, shields, long chains, silk nets, and more. There were dozens of different types of magic tools.

On the other side, on the other side of the counter, there were all sorts of refining materials. Some of them were materials from demonic beasts, while others were special materials. However, Xu Fan almost didn't recognize any of these materials.

In short, in short, everything here was there.

Xia Weiwei and Xu Fan walked in one after the other, and immediately a shop assistant came up to welcome them. She also completely ignored Xu Fan, and then said to Xia Weiwei with a face full of smiles, "This fairy wants to buy something. Would you like me to introduce her a bit?" The things in this store will definitely satisfy all the customers and bring them home! "

Xia Weiwei said, "Can you entrust the production of magic tools here?"

The sales clerk said proudly, "Of course, our shop has the best refiners in the entire market. As long as Fairy has high quality materials, she will definitely be able to refine a magic tool to your satisfaction. However, the cost of substitutes is not low."

Xia Weiwei nodded and said, "The fees will be charged according to your rules. However, your shop must ensure the grade of the magic tool you refine."

The sales clerk patted his chest and said, "Naturally, this fairy can be at ease. If you fail to refine the ingredients, this shop will be responsible for finding the materials to refine your magic tool."

"En, that's good. That's right, are you collecting the materials here?" Xia Weiwei asked again after receiving a satisfactory answer.

The shop assistant was surprised and asked curiously, "Fairy, do you want to entrust the refining of the magic tools or sell the materials?"

Xia Weiwei said, "Both!"

With that, Xia Weiwei took out a late-First Order demon beast's corpse from her storage bracelet and placed it in front of the shop assistant.

When the shop assistant saw the demon beast, he immediately looked at Xia Weiwei in surprise.

The Spirit Peak Mountain was a vast and endless mountain range. Although most of the monsters here were Rank 1 Demonic Beasts, no one could guarantee that there would not be any Rank 2 or Rank 3 beasts or that they would run into a group of beasts. Once they encountered such a situation, it would be very dangerous.

Therefore, the cultivators that normally sold demon beast materials here would go out hunting in groups. After hunting demon beasts, everyone would split the resources according to how much effort they put in.

Therefore, when selling demon beast materials, most of the rogue cultivators who participated in the distribution would come together to the store. Of course, this was only true when some of the disciples from the big families would go out in teams to hunt demon beasts.

From this shop assistant's point of view, Xia Weiwei's cultivation was only at the tenth level of the Qi Cultivation Stage. Although this cultivation level was a full three small stages higher than his, it was still not enough to hunt demon beasts alone in the mountain range.

Xu Fan, who was standing next to Xia Weiwei, was a mortal servant, so he was shocked when he saw the demon beast materials on the ground.

After a moment of shock, the shop assistant asked very professionally, "Fairy, this material can barely make a mid-grade magic tool, but the success rate is not high. Do you want to sell the rest of the material after refining the magic tool?"

Xia Weiwei shook her head and said, "Who said I'm going to use the corpse of this demon beast to refine a magic tool? These materials are for sale, I still have a lot of demon beast materials.

This time, the sales clerk was even more shocked. His attitude also became more respectful, and he quickly said, "Okay, please come with me."

The shop assistant brought Xia Weiwei and Xu Fan to a guest room to the left of the counter. He served them a pot of spiritual tea, then said, "Please wait a moment, then left in a hurry."

Soon, Xia Weiwei and Xu Fan were in the reception room, drinking spirit tea that was free from charge from the store. After waiting for less than half an incense stick of time, they saw a grey robed old man about the 9th level of the Qi Cultivating Stage come to the reception room.

The shop assistant that left earlier followed behind this old man. It was clear that this old man's status was higher than that shop assistant's. This old man was the person that the shop assistant had gone to find.

Sure enough, after the old man entered, he immediately introduced himself to Xia Weiwei, saying, "Fellow Daoist, I am the deacon of the Plethora Gem Tower, Wang Jin. May I know what materials Fellow Daoist wishes to sell?"

Without further ado, Xia Weiwei took out all the demon beast materials from her storage bracelet, with the exception of the Level Three Icedream Snake, from it.

These demon beasts had all been here for the past two days. The pile of Level 1 and 2 demon beasts that Xu Fan and Xia Weiwei had killed in the Spirit Peak Mountain were piled up on the ground.

Seeing the mountain of Class 1 and 2 demon beast materials in the reception room, that Myriad Treasures Store's Deacon Wang and the shop assistant were immediately shocked.

This was a huge business deal. As long as they could capture these demon beasts, they would definitely be able to obtain a lot of spirit stones as a reward. For them, this was quite a large amount of income.

After a long time, Deacon Wang's face was filled with joy. He asked in disbelief, "Fellow Daoist, do you want to sell all of these materials?"

Ever since he had entered, Xu Fan had been secretly observing. Seeing that Deacon Wang and the shop assistant had both revealed expressions of joy, he knew that the Plethora Gem Tower had been tempted by these demon beast materials.

This fellow was afraid that Xia Weiwei might not understand the market situation, so he let her purchase the demon beast materials at a lower price, so before Xia Weiwei could reply, he calmly asked, "Selling the demon beast materials is a plan to sell, but first we have to listen to whether the purchase price of your Plethora Gem Tower is reasonable, then we can decide. If your purchase price is reasonable, then these demon beast materials will naturally all be sold to you."

Deacon Wang glanced at Xu Fan, but didn't say anything. Then he looked back at Xia Weiwei, his face clearly full of contempt.

Obviously, Deacon Wang treated Xu Fan as an ordinary mortal and didn't take him seriously.

One look at Enforcer Wang's eyes and he knew that he was looking down on Xu Fan. She immediately became unhappy and immediately frowned as she pointed at Xu Fan and said, "Enforcer Wang, how are you going to sell these demon beasts will be up to this fellow to decide."

Deacon Wang was an old fox and was immediately shocked. He couldn't help but look at Xu Fan again and think to himself, "Could it be that I made a mistake? Could this kid be a hidden high-level cultivator?" Otherwise, with my cultivation level, how could I not feel this kid's aura at all? However, didn't this girl at Qi Disciple level 10 say that he was in charge of whether these demon beast materials were sold or not? This meant that this brat's cultivation was definitely higher than hers. This time, he almost offended a high-level cultivator.

Thinking about this, Deacon Wang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, the look of disdain on his face immediately changed to a humble smile, and he respectfully said, "Fellow, don't worry, I am absolutely honest with myself. Just now, this old man checked the materials of these demon beasts, and they are all very good, how about this, this old man will set a price first, a first tier demon beast will buy at the first price of 750 spirit stones, and a second tier demon beast will buy at the first price of 2,800 spirit stones. I wonder if fellow cultivator thinks that this price is fair?"

Xu Fan rubbed his chin, not saying a word. In fact, this old man didn't even know what these demon beasts were worth. Although the price this old man offered was already much higher than what Xia Weiwei had told him, he still needed to put on an act.

Deacon Wang saw Xu Fan fall silent, and thought that Xu Fan was either thinking that his offer was too low, or that he had offended Xu Fan because of his previous indifference. He fiercely gritted his teeth and said, "Fellow Daoist, this old man will use his status as a deacon to add 50 low-grade spirit stones to every rank 1 demon beast material, and 200 spirit stones to every rank 2 demon beast material.

After Deacon Wang finished speaking, he looked at Xu Fan with a face full of anticipation.

However, what he didn't expect was that right after he said this, Xu Fan immediately said, "Deal!"

"…"

The next moment, Deacon Wang was stunned. Xia Weiwei laughed!

"..."
