The youth spoke incessantly.

Upon hearing ‘Qing Zhu Lu’s Spiritual Talisman Shop’, Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

He knew that what the young man said was quite credible, and it was almost the same as what he had learned yesterday from Zhang Shan’s account of the shop.

“Hmm, White Jade Tower?”

At that moment, Lu Changsheng saw a quaint and ancient-looking pagoda-like building not far away.

...
The sign on the building bore the three characters ‘White Jade Tower,’ reminding him that Hong Yi had mentioned spending a considerable price to buy his two favored maids, Jiu’er and Shui’er, from there.

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s gaze toward the White Jade Tower, the youth immediately spoke, “Senior, ‘White Jade Tower’ specializes in matching matrimonial alliances, introducing wives and concubines, and selling maids.”

“If Senior is thinking of taking a wife or concubines, or purchasing maids, you can visit White Jade Tower.”

“White Jade Tower is also an established brand; I’ve heard that it’s not just in Nine Dragons Market, but has branches in many marketplaces and even in Immortal City.”

The youth spoke, saying this.

“Oh?”

Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows raised on hearing this.

He couldn’t help but wonder internally if the White Jade Tower—where Hong Yi had purchased Jiu’er and Shui’er—and this White Jade Tower were the same establishment.

Just different branches?

Then the business of this White Jade Tower was indeed quite extensive.

The next time he received a letter from Hong Yi, he could ask if it was the same White Jade Tower.

“Does White Jade Tower have any wives, concubines, or maids with a Spiritual Root?”

Lu Changsheng inquired.

He naturally wouldn’t forget about searching for a ‘fairy’.

After all, all matters are but passing clouds, and only taking wives, concubines, and bearing children is the true path.

He was quite satisfied with Jiu’er and Shui’er, whom Hong Yi had gifted him.

If he could use money to buy obedient and sensible maids with Spiritual Root, that would be the best outcome.

“Of course, there are some with Spiritual Roots available, but they are a minority; most are just exceptionally beautiful and have a gracious temperament, either descendants of cultivators or ordinary humans,” the youth replied.

“I’ve heard that inside White Jade Tower, there are not only women from the Human Race, but also those from other races and the Demon Race, although I am not too clear about the specifics and the prices. If Senior is interested, you could go in for more information.”

The youth spoke again.

Not only the Human Race, but also other races and the Demon Race.

Lu Changsheng knew that the two girls Jiu’er and Shui’er sent by Hong Yi were from other races.

Now hearing that there were also Demon Race girls, he instantly thought of creatures like cat girls, fox women, and snake maidens…

“Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng gave a nod, not asking further, and kept the ‘White Jade Tower’ in his mind.

He planned to come back later to take a look and get more information.

After all, the women in such a place would likely have hard lives,

If he had the ability to help them, he would, saving whoever he could.

It would be like saving a life—better than building a seven-tiered pagoda.

Thus, Lu Changsheng chatted casually with the youth as they walked, gathering various information about the marketplace.

The pair finally reached Southwest Street where the loose cultivators set up their stalls for trading.

“Senior, ahead is Southwest Street, where the loose cultivators freely trade.”

“If you wish to set up a stall, you need to pay a Spirit Stone for the management fee at the fee collection booth up ahead,” the youth told Lu Changsheng.

“Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, thinking to himself that this Nine Dragons Market really did charge for everything.

Even setting up a stall required a payment of a Spirit Stone as a management fee.

He arrived at the entrance of Southwest Street,

And immediately saw a street lined with lanterns, with neatly organized stalls on both sides.

The throngs of people in the middle, bustling like a market in the secular world, with relentless hawking much livelier than the streets he had passed earlier.

“That will do, your task is completed. There’s no need to follow me anymore; I’ll wander around by myself,” Lu Changsheng said, waving his hand dismissively at the youth.

“Yes, I take my leave, and I wish Senior great luck and success, that all your wishes come true, and that fortune descends upon you, bringing prosperous and flourishing cultivation…” the youth said, bowing and reciting a litany of well-wishes.

Lu Changsheng, unfazed by these blessings, showed no inclination of giving a tip and continued walking into the street.

Seeing this, the youth wasn’t disappointed.

After all, wealthy patrons were few and far between,

And it was rare to encounter even a few in a year.

Lu Changsheng didn’t rush to sell talismans; instead, he decided to take a look around first,

To see if there was anything he needed or found interesting,

And to understand the local prices.

“Second-hand vestment robes for sale, practically new and without patches!”

“Red-striped tiger meat, tender and fresh, just slaughtered last night!”

“Ten-year-old black truffles, three Spirit Stones per pound, a deal of ten Spirit Stones for three pounds!”

“Brother, need Elixir Medicines? Freshly concocted Ascension Elixirs here, pop one and all worldly troubles will melt away.”

Each stall was actively advertising their wares.

Lu Changsheng followed the flow of people, examining each stall in turn.

The variety of items for sale was remarkably diverse.

It was a far cry from the standards of the market at Bullhead Mountain, vastly superior in the quality of goods on offer.

Most of the items were Spiritual Objects used by cultivators.

And thinking about it made sense—after all, if one had to pay a Spirit Stone just to secure a stall, then selling junk wouldn’t earn back even the cost of the stall fee.

Lu Changsheng examined the goods in great detail,

Directly purchasing any materials suitable for cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.

Because he was cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, he could roughly sense the quality of the Spiritual Materials, so he wasn’t likely to be swindled.

As for stumbling upon an incredible bargain, that was almost non-existent,

Not to mention the low odds, because to use the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique to sense the quality of Spiritual Materials, he needed to touch them.

Merely looking wouldn’t reveal anything; he didn’t have the eye for it.

He hadn’t even finished browsing half the street when Lu Changsheng had already spent half of his Spirit Stones, all used for purchasing Spiritual Materials for cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.
