C3 Treasure Pavilion
Li Yun went over the hill and saw a four to five meter wide dirt road that stretched out into the distance. He looked at the sun in the sky and determined that it was the north. He didn't care if this place was different from Earth, he took out his Hummer, stepped on the throttle, and headed north.
There was no one on either side of the dirt road, except for the lake and the mountains. The Hummer sped forward at 160 kilometers per hour, and in less than an hour, a huge gate appeared in front of them, upon which was written the word 100.
When Li Yun was about two hundred meters away from the city gate, he stopped and kept his carriage inside the Ring, and then walked towards the city gate with large strides.
Wind Continent was a continent that was full of spirit energy and revered cultivation. As a result, the soldiers guarding the city gate weren't surprised by Li Yun's strange attire and equipment. They only charged him a spirit stone to enter the city. He also warned the city that it was forbidden to fight and other rules, so he let him enter the city.
After entering the city, Li Yun discovered that Baise were indeed flourishing. On both sides of the street, there were all sorts of different shops. The streets were filled with people.
Li Yun followed the streets and observed the shops on both sides. They were all shops that sold food and clothing.
Li Yun, who was uninterested, didn't stay and continued to walk towards the center of the city.
Suddenly a waiter jumped out from the side of the road, he giggled and said to Li Yun: "Sir, you have just arrived at Baise, if you don't open your shop now, it would be difficult for you to find an inn if you are late."
Just as Li Yun wanted to find someone to understand the situation, he smiled and said, "I have the same plan."
The waiter immediately became excited and enthusiastically introduced, "The store's guest rooms are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, and Human, and the general store's four main levels. The Sky Room will have one spirit stone for one night, the Earth Room will have one spirit stone for two nights, and the Human Room will have one spirit stone for three nights. "Great Master …"
Li Yun waved his hand, signalling the waiter to stop talking. "Sky Room then."
The Sky Room No. 9 was a second-class suite. It was used for waiting for guests in the outer room. There were two chairs and a table at the table. It was clean and tidy. Inside the bedroom, there was a large bed, and on the bed, there was a brand-new bedding. There was a three-legged wooden coatrack, and nothing else.
Li Yun was quite satisfied with his room's environment. He took out a spirit stone to reward the waiter and casually asked, "Waiter, is there any place that sells cultivation pills or cultivation techniques?"
The waiter was happy to receive a spirit stone as a reward, so he added, "Reporting to the guest, we have heard that there are two places where cultivation items are sold. He turned left after exiting the shop and walked two hundred meters straight ahead. There was a four storey tall red building called the Treasure Pavilion. It was considered the largest and most reputable shop in the city. There are also many other shops around the Treasure Pavilion that deal in alchemy techniques, and their scale is not small as well. "
As he said that, the waiter politely picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of water for Li Yun. Then he passionately said, "If the guest wants to pick up anything or buy some small items, turn left from the Treasure Pavilion and walk another five hundred meters. There is a market, and it is all individual trading with stalls.
Li Yun smiled lightly and said to the waiter, "Thank you for your guidance, I'll go take a look." With that, Li Yun left the room and headed straight for the Treasure Pavilion.
Arriving in front of the Treasure Pavilion, Li Yun raised his eyes and carefully examined it. The entire Treasure Pavilion was decorated with paintings, it was extraordinary. The door was wide open. The three golden characters of "Treasure Pavilion" on the door added a trace of solemnity to the style.
A middle-aged man in a silk gown came out of the door in quick steps. He cupped his hands and bowed to Li Yun. "Esteemed customer has come to our shop in great fear. Please come in and wait for tea."
In the shop owner's eyes, Li Yun was wearing a strange style battle uniform, but it looked very practical. The material was neither silk nor cotton, and the dark green color was rare in this place, so of course he wouldn't dare to be negligent.
Li Yun walked into the shop and sat down with the owner. A maid immediately served two cups of tea on a tray.
After Li Yun drank some tea, the shop owner respectfully asked, "May I know what instructions you have for coming to my shop?"
Li Yun slowly said, "I wonder if your shop will accept the cultivation technique books?"
The shop owner immediately replied, "Please take a look at your book."
Li Yun casually took out two mahogany boxes that were imitated by modern technology and placed them on the table.
The shop owner picked up a large wooden box and opened it. Six books that were an inch thick appeared in front of his eyes.
The shop owner gently picked up a book and scrutinized it closely. On the cover of the wooden colorful imprint, there was a muscular man who looked majestic.
A red line marked the direction of the meridian, from the left foot of the sturdy man until the end of the Baihui acupoint above his head. On the right side of the cover, there were four powerful cursive script of the Yellow Emperor's internal scripture, the entire cover was shining.
The technology of film pressing in modern technology was not something that a shop owner could understand.
At the side, Li Yun softly introduced, "This is an all-encompassing set of medical books, and also a cultivation method."
The shop owner flipped to the first page, then the two large words "Asking questions" popped up on the second page. The four big words, "Theory of Qi to Heaven", led to an obscure and mysterious article:
"Those who have reached the heavens since ancient times are born from yin and yang. Between the heavens and the earth, in the Six Paths of the Nine Prefectures, there are nine orifices, five collections, twelve sections … "
Closing the book, the shop owner said with great respect: "This book is too valuable, I don't dare to make decisions without permission. Please wait a moment, esteemed guest. Please allow me to invite the patriarch out, then we will know."
Li Yun lightly smiled. "Manager, there's no harm in going."
The shop owner clasped his hands and backed away. A white-haired, white-browed, sage-like old man appeared in front of Li Yun. He clasped his hands and said, "I am Xiaoyaozi. May I have your name please?"
Seeing this strange person, Li Yun did not dare to be negligent, and quickly stood up, cupping his hands and bowing: "Junior is surnamed Li, greetings senior."
The elder stroked his beard and smiled, "Esteemed guest, please take a seat. May I have a look at the book?"
Li Yun cupped his hands once more, "Old grandpa, please do as you wish."
The old man looked at Li Yun strangely, picked up the Yellow Emperor's inner scripture and quickly went through it from start to finish. He then opened this box of the Classic of the Way of the Tao and took out a book to read.
The archaic moral scriptures were printed in calligraphy, and the dignified and unadorned calligraphy was written on white and delicate paper:
"The Dao is the Dao. The Dao is the Dao." A name could be called, but not a name. Nothing. It was the beginning of the heavens and earth. Yes, the mother of all things. As such, it was not often found, so he wanted to observe it for what it was worth. Often, in order to see its strength. The two had the same name, but their names were the same as well. "Mystical and mysterious, the door to the wonders of the world."
Closing the book, the old man frowned and started to ponder. He softly said, "None. Name of Heaven and Earth, name of Mother of All Things … "Mystical and mysterious, the door to the wonders of the world."
Suddenly, the old man struck out with his palms and said with a smile, "That's great, I understand."
Li Yun asked in confusion, "Old grandpa, what are you doing?"
The old man came back to his senses and said seriously, "These are indeed two mysterious books. I have been stuck at the great circle of the Jindan Stage for 40 years." "After reading the opening paragraph of the 'Classic of the Way of the Way', I suddenly gained enlightenment and understood the things that I was puzzled about during my training. I was overjoyed for a moment, and then laughed at my own joke."
Li Yun bitterly laughed in his heart. After getting such a great deal, he didn't seem to have obtained any consent from me, right? However, a smile appeared on his face. "Congratulations to the old grandpa for hearing about the great Dao."
The middle-aged man beside him also hurried over to congratulate him.
Xiaoyaozi retracted his smile and said to Li Yun with a serious face, "Little friend, aren't you afraid of the elders scolding you for selling such a strange book?"
Li Yun's Shang Hai had been floating for many years, and he started off with a lie, "After our ancestor ascended, he was passed down for three generations. No one could understand this book. "Therefore, I would like to sell this book to someone who is useful in exchange for a small sum of money for the purpose of doing business."
Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard and pondered for a long time. Then he said to Li Yun, "Regarding these two strange books, this old man really doesn't dare to name a price lightly. If you are willing to accept my offer, this old man will often feel guilty and unfavorable for cultivation. "
If you trust this old man, you can bring up five million spirit stones to do business. Allow this old man to spend a month brewing and hold an auction, at that time, I will only give you ten percent of the commission. As for the rest, if you return it to me, what do you think is good about it? "
Li Yun spent a total of three thousand dollars on these two sets of books, of which more than two thousand were on wooden boxes.
Hearing Xiaoyaozi's words, how could he have any objections? He immediately cupped his hands and said, "This is great. I will remember Senior's intentions."
Xiaoyaozi smiled as he stroked his beard. "For us cultivators, we only hope to have a clear mind and to be able to obtain great Dao." Just now, it was my friend's mysterious book which allowed me to achieve a breakthrough in my mental state. This old man is very grateful, and does not need to worry about it. "
With that, Xiaoyaozi took out a Storage Ring and gave it to Li Yun. "Here's five million spirit stones, keep them well."
After that, he instructed the middle-aged man to bring the four treasures from the study and settle the auction agreement on the spot.
Seeing that Xiaoyaozi was easy to talk to, Li Yun tactfully revealed that he wanted to open a store here and also wanted to buy a batch of low-level pills for cultivation purposes.
Hearing that, Xiaoyaozi took out two porcelain bottles, one big and one small, and gave them to Li Yun: "Here are five hundred Qi Nurturing Pills and a hundred Peiyuan Pill. With these pellets, it should not take half a year to push you to the Foundation Establishment Stage. "
Li Yun hurriedly asked for the price. In any case, he had five million spirit stones with him, so he could afford low grade pills.
Xiaoyaozi reached out to hold Li Yun's hand and sincerely said, "This is a gift I gave to my little friend. Even if it's me, I will thank you for helping me to break through."
Then he brought the middle-aged man over and introduced him to Li Yun, "This is my nephew, his surname is Hu Yong, and he'll help you with the purchase of the shop." This old man has just broken through into the next realm and needs to hurry and consolidate it, so I won't be accompanying you. "
With that, his figure flashed and disappeared in front of Li Yun. Hu Yong also quickly took out a pen and paper and carefully noted down the address of the inn where Li Yun stayed. Then, he politely sent Li Yun out.
After bidding farewell to Hu Yong, Li Yun continued to wander around the city.
Suddenly, the faint sounds of quarreling could be heard from afar as the pedestrians on the street hurried over.
Li Yun was bored, so he followed the crowd.
