Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

91: Immortal Abode Lane, Spirit Plant Pavilion, Flying Sword!As Chen Chuanwu stepped into the entrance of Xianju Alley, he suddenly felt a sense of magical power permeating his entire body. The Qi Refining mana within his Dantian stirred in response, and it seemed as if a rippling, water-like barrier of light broke open before his eyes.

This was the protective Formation of Xianju Alley; its effect was simple: only a Cultivator could enter.

Once he entered the alley, the scenery changed drastically. Viewed from the outside, it was merely a narrow alley entrance, but inside, it had actually become a vast plaza.

”This must be the Formation effect that Father mentioned!”

Chen Chuanwu thought to himself, then walked into the plaza, which spanned over a thousand meters.

There were not many people in the plaza, but everyone exuded a powerful aura. Around the perimeter of the plaza, there were people setting up stalls, as well as buildings like teahouses and inns.

The most eye-catching features were three towering pavilions: the Spirit Plant Pavilion, the Spirit Talisman Pavilion, and the Spirit Artifact Pavilion!

Chen Chuanwu gripped the medicine box containing the spiritual plant in his hand and decided to check out the Spirit Plant Pavilion; after all, the larger the storefront, the greater its strength!

Just as Chen Chuanwu stepped into the Spirit Plant Pavilion, a beautiful female Cultivator walked over with a smile.

”Fellow Daoist, are you planning to buy spiritual plants or sell them?”

Chen Chuanwu sized up the female Cultivator before him, sensing that her strength was likely higher than his own, yet she was merely a maid in the Spirit Plant Pavilion.

This Spirit Plant Pavilion was truly impressive; even its maids were Cultivators.

”I would like to sell two spiritual plants!”

Chen Chuanwu then opened the medicine box he was carrying, letting her see the two stalks of yutai grass inside.

”Freshly matured yutai grass, which can be used as bait to lure fish-type Yao Beasts. The quality is quite good, though the age is a bit short. I can offer you one hundred Spirit Crystals per stalk, Fellow Daoist!”

The maid glanced at the yutai grass and quickly provided a price.

Chen Chuanwu felt this price was already quite good, but he was afraid of being cheated since he lacked experience, so he asked:

”Can you increase the price? I saw someone outside offering a higher price than you!”

The maid simply smiled gracefully, covered her cherry lips, and said to Chen Chuanwu with a smile:

”Fellow Daoist, this Spirit Plant Pavilion is run by the Ning Immortal Family of the Prefecture City. Our purchase prices for spiritual plants have always been the highest in the Immortal Market. We also have strict requirements for spiritual plants; if your two stalks were not of such good quality, we would not accept them at such a young age...”

Upon hearing this, Chen Chuanwu blushed deeply; it turned out he had made a fool of himself.

”Alright then, I will sell these two stalks of yutai grass to you!”

Chen Chuanwu quickly handed the medicine box to her. The maid took the box, smiled slightly, walked behind the counter, and returned a moment later with a small pouch.

”Fellow Daoist, this is two hundred Spirit Crystals. You may count them!”

Chen Chuanwu took the pouch, counted the Spirit Crystals, and then cupped his hands to thank the maid.

”In the future, if you have high-quality spiritual plants, Fellow Daoist, you are welcome to come to our Spirit Plant Pavilion to sell them!”

The maid said with a smile. Chen Chuanwu nodded and then walked out of the Spirit Plant Pavilion.

With Spirit Crystals in hand, Chen Chuanwu felt more confident. He had always been curious about the Magical Artifacts of Cultivators and decided to go to the Spirit Artifact Pavilion to take a look.

Walking into the Spirit Artifact Pavilion, a maid also came to attend to Chen Chuanwu, but she was not as enthusiastic as the one at the Spirit Plant Pavilion; she merely glanced at Chen Chuanwu and said nothing more.

Chen Chuanwu was happy to be left alone and began to browse the Spirit Artifact Pavilion. The shop’s counters displayed various Magical Artifacts, including blades, spears, swords, and hammers.

Chen Chuanwu had seen Lu Wujiang wield a Flying Sword, so he pointed at that Flying Sword and asked.

”How many Spirit Crystals for this Flying Sword?”

The maid cast a cold glance at Chen Chuanwu and said with an indifferent attitude:

”The Intermediate Magical Artifact, Qingyun Sword, is worth thirty Spirit Stones!”

”The Magical Artifacts in our shop are priced in Spirit Stones. One Spirit Stone is worth one thousand Spirit Crystals. If you want to purchase it with Spirit Crystals, it will cost thirty thousand Spirit Crystals!”

Upon hearing the price, Chen Chuanwu immediately shrank his neck. His novice appearance immediately drew sneers from a few Cultivators in the shop.

Chen Chuanwu said nothing and turned to leave. It was no wonder the maid didn’t want to bother with him; he didn’t look like someone who could produce thirty thousand Spirit Crystals.

Chuanwu, who had originally wanted to browse a bit more, lost all his confidence due to the exorbitant price of the Flying Sword, so he kept his Spirit Crystals and left Xianju Alley directly.

”Our Family is still too poor; we can’t even afford a sword!”

How could Chen Chuanwu know that Magical Artifacts had always been the most expensive items among cultivation resources, let alone the Flying Sword he asked about, which was not cheap even among Magical Artifacts!

If he had walked around among the stall owners, he would have known that not all Cultivators were that wealthy; some Loose Cultivators at the Qi Refining stage were just as worried about a few cultivation resources as he was.

Chen Chuanwu mounted the fast horse at the alley entrance, quickly left the Prefecture City, and headed straight for Kaoshan Village.

An hour later, Chen Chuanwu dismounted and headed straight to the Courtyard House to find Chen Changsheng.

”Father, I sold the two stalks of yutai grass and exchanged them for two hundred Spirit Crystals!”

At this moment, Chen Changsheng was drinking tea. Seeing the Spirit Crystals handed over by Chuanwu, he couldn’t help but nod slightly.

When he planted the spiritual plants last time, he had buried about two hundred Spirit Crystals in the ground and harvested two stalks of yutai grass.

But that was his first time planting spiritual plants, and his methods were lacking, which was why the harvest was so small. If he used these two hundred Spirit Crystals to plant, relying on the knowledge in the ’spiritual plant manual’, he felt that he could at least successfully grow four stalks without any issues.

Using two hundred Spirit Crystals as capital and doubling it in a year or two—this profit might not be large, but it was a steady stream of income; the business was worth doing.

”Take these Spirit Crystals and use them to Cultivate first. Chuanwen and I are finding ways to obtain Spirit Crystals; perhaps in the future, our Family will not be short of them!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Chuanwu felt puzzled. Cultivation resources had always been hard to come by. Just as he was about to ask how Chen Changsheng and the others were obtaining Spirit Crystals, Chen Changsheng waved his hand to interrupt him.

”Eldest son, I want you to take Chuanjie to test his Spiritual Root. The child has good talent for the Dao of the sword; if he has a Spiritual Root, he should start Cultivating early so as not to delay him!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Chuanwu frowned. It wasn’t that there was any difficulty in testing for a Spiritual Root, but hearing about the talent for the Dao of the sword made him think of the terrifying price of the Flying Sword at the Spirit Artifact Pavilion.

”Father, I went to the Immortal Market to look around, and a single Flying Sword costs thirty thousand Spirit Crystals!”

Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but click his tongue upon hearing this, but he smiled, patted Chuanwu on the shoulder, and said:

”Everything has a low-price option. If Chuanjie happens to have a Spiritual Root, we can just buy him a cheaper Flying Sword, right?”

Chen Changsheng was actually oversimplifying things, but Chuanwu also didn’t understand the cultivation world, so the two of them immediately reached an agreement in their thinking.

It was just that the Flying Sword Chuanwu asked about was too expensive!

”Alright, Father. Where is Chuanjie? I will go take him to test his Spiritual Root!”

Chen Chuanwu immediately wanted to take Chuanjie away, but Chen Changsheng quickly held him back and said with a chuckle:

”Wait for me a moment; I’m going to get something!”

Chen Changsheng walked into the study and then opened his own Family treasure vault!

He was going to exchange for a ’Spirit Root Bone-Altering Pill’ for Chuanjie!
