Cangling Immortal Clan

Chapter 20: The Strange Man
"Lin Yuan, let's go!"

Just as Ye Linyuan was thinking, Old Man Ye ended his conversation with Jiang Qingyan, and then pulled Ye Linyuan towards the market.

After entering the market, Old Man Ye looked at Ye Linyuan and asked, "Where are we going first today?"

"Let's take a look at the stalls first."

As Ye Linyuan spoke, he took Old Man Ye to the street stall area inside the market. They soon arrived at the street stall area, where they saw about a hundred stalls, and each stall was already crowded with people.

Obviously, this small gathering has already begun, and many independent cultivators and family cultivators from Qinghe Immortal Square have traveled far away to come here.

Seeing this, Old Man Ye introduced him, “The shops in the market are expensive, and not all independent cultivators and families can afford to rent them.”

"The vast majority of Qi training families and independent practitioners will rent a stall to sell for a day or two during the small gathering."

“Under normal circumstances, there would only be 20 to 30 stalls here at most.”

Ye Linyuan nodded, and then began to check the stalls here one by one, but found that most of these stalls were terribly poor.

Some sell spiritual rice, some sell incomplete magical instruments, some sell inferior cultivation techniques, and some even sell mortal ironware and various minerals.

There are very few people selling talismans and magical instruments, and most of them are first-level, low-grade talismans and low-grade magical instruments.

Of course, Ye Linyuan had anticipated this. After all, most of these small Qi-cultivating clans had limited financial resources, and even if they had real spiritual objects, most of them would be reluctant to sell them.

If you want to buy high-quality spiritual seeds and precious mid- to high-quality magical instruments, you have to go to major stores to buy them.

The rents of those shops are expensive, and basically only families in the late stage of Qi training are eligible to own them. What they sell are basically real spiritual items.

Of course, Ye Linyuan came to the stall to pick up bargains, so he naturally had enough patience to pay attention and check.

He visited several stalls in succession and finally came to a herbal medicine shop.

The girl guarding the herbal medicine shop was fair-skinned and beautiful. Her eyes lit up the moment she saw Ye Linyuan. She quickly stood up and said, "What treasures do you need, my friend? The herbs here are all rare treasures."

Ye Linyuan did not answer, but picked up a medicinal herb and sensed it, then asked, "Are you a spiritual plant husband?"

The girl was slightly stunned, but then smiled and said, "Sir, you have a good eye, but I have just learned the Spirit Rain Technique. I am only at the beginning stage, so I cannot be considered a true Spirit Plant Husband."

"That's not bad."

Ye Linyuan nodded, then took a look at the girl and had to admit that the girl in front of him had an extraordinary appearance.

The white snow condenses the beauty, and the pearls decorate the lips.

Even judging from his perspective in his previous life, this woman could be considered one of the most stunning beauties in the world.

Of course, he had many concubines in his previous life, even one of them was a peerless golden elixir master, but he was not a man who was greedy for beauty. It was difficult for him to be moved by this woman's appearance alone.

The real reason why he thought highly of this woman was that these medicinal herbs were full of spiritual energy. Even if they were far from being true spiritual objects, they were beyond the ordinary.

This girl looks to be only 28 years old, yet she is able to master the spiritual rain technique at this level. It can be seen that her talent in spiritual plants is indeed extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but smile and asked, "May I ask your name, young lady?"

The girl was slightly stunned. At first she thought Ye Linyuan was a little presumptuous, but after taking a look at Ye Linyuan, her face slightly blushed.

In his previous life, Ye Linyuan cultivated the golden and fire spiritual roots. His demeanor was so domineering and sharp that people were intimidated by him.

However, in this life, he mainly cultivates water spiritual roots. His handsome face and moon-white long robe make him look gentle and jade-like under the nourishment of water-attributed magic power.

And this gentle and jade-like feeling, seemingly combined with a little bit of charm left over from the previous life, actually creates a feeling that makes people feel conquered.

The girl came back to her senses as if by reflex, and then she murmured to herself: "My name is Shui Hanqing."

"The muddy water has dried up and the cold pond is clear; the mist is condensed and the evening mountain is purple."

Ye Linyuan nodded, then smiled and said, "What a nice name, young lady." "Sir, do you also know the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng?"

Shui Hanqing's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say with some surprise.

Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "In ancient times, there was a strange man from outer space, Wang Bo, who came here by boat, and then flew away, leaving behind the legendary article "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng", which contains 72 methods of practicing the superior Taoism."

"Such a rare and wonderful article, how could I not read it?"

Shui Hanqing's eyes lit up, and she immediately felt that Ye Linyuan was much more friendly, and she couldn't help but say: "The superior foundation is out of reach, and we can only admire it a little bit. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to peek into that realm in our entire lives."

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

Ye Linyuan smiled, and then said calmly: "We are still young, we have to give it a try."

Shui Hanqing nodded, and then asked hurriedly, "May I know your name, sir?"

"Ye Linyuan."

"Ye Linyuan?"

Shui Hanqing read it once, and then couldn't help but smile and said, "It's better to retreat and weave a net than to envy the fish by the abyss. The name of Young Master does have a deep meaning."

"No, it's Yi Ye Lin Yuan!"

Ye Linyuan smiled and answered calmly.

The girl was slightly stunned, and for a moment she didn't understand the deep meaning of this sentence.

Ye Linyuan did not explain this. He picked up a bag of spiritual seeds and asked, "Miss, how much do you sell these Garcinia seeds for?"

Shui Hanqing took a look at the package of spiritual seeds, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "To be honest, these Garcinia seeds were found by my grandfather for me. Unfortunately, I have been planting them for a long time but have not been able to make them germinate."

"Now that most of the life force has been cut off, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive."

Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said, "Why not buy it cheaper? I'll buy it and try it."

Shui Hanqing groaned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "These ten spirit seeds don't have much vitality left, so why not sell them for ten broken spirit stones?"

"Alright."

Ye Linyuan nodded and couldn't help but smile.

Garcinia is the main ingredient of Huangya Pill, which is the key elixir for practicing Qi Refining. It is quite expensive. Generally, only the core disciples of the Foundation Establishment Sect and a few people in the late stage of Qi Refining can take it for a long time.

For Ye Linyuan, if he could mass-produce the Yellow Bud Pill, the time it would take him to reach the great perfection of Qi training would be shortened several times.

The seeds of Garcinia are also quite precious. Generally, one spirit stone can only buy ten seeds. These ten spirit seeds saved him 90% of the price.

Although the vitality of these spiritual seeds has been mostly dissipated, with Ye Linyuan's level as a quasi-second-level spiritual plant husband, it is not too difficult to make them germinate.

With this in mind, Ye Linyuan took out ten pieces of broken spirit stones and completed the deal with Shui Hanqing. Both parties couldn't help but smile.

After completing the transaction, Ye Linyuan glanced at the girl, then smiled and said, "The girl's Spirit Rain Technique is not weak, but if you want to go further, you still need to experience it carefully."

Shui Hanqing was slightly stunned, and asked thoughtfully: "How to understand?"

Ye Linyuan smiled and then said casually: "Some people can feel the rain, while others just get wet."

“Feel the rain?”

Shui Hanqing was thoughtful, but when she came to her senses, she found that Ye Linyuan had disappeared.
