I have a Taoist temple that connects me to other worlds

"Has it always been like this here?" Jiang Wen asked, looking at the scene with some curiosity.

Li Yunshang shook her head, answering with considerable displeasure, "The last time I came, it was still a teahouse, not like this."

"How long ago was the last time?"

"About ten years ago, when I was eight years old, I came to Taicang with my master for training."

"So you're only eighteen years old today?"

"Yes." Li Yunshang glared at him, bypassed the wine pool in the center of the hall, and walked along the corridor on either side towards the inside of the building.

From time to time, maids walked past the two of them, all curiously sizing up these two unfamiliar faces.

Jiang Wen looked around with great interest, very intrigued by this building. He took some pictures with his phone, finally aiming it at Li Yunshang.

"What are you doing?" Li Yunshang turned around, at that moment like a beauty in a painting, perfectly captured by him.

"What are you up to?" Li Yunshang suddenly leaned in and asked.

Various people's conversations came from his ears, some of which quite attracted Jiang Wen's attention.

"Alas, alas. We still need to keep our eyes open. With the Holy Emperor's birthday approaching, each state must select a thousand beautiful virgins to enter the capital. Taicang City also has to select a hundred women, which really makes me not know what to do for a while."

"Then I will respectfully accept, and let you, a little rich woman, spend some money," Jiang Wen said with a smile.

"That matter, I wonder what your lord thinks?"

"This is the Immortal Gate Gathering, in the future, if you want to come, you can enter with magic power." Li Yunshang told Jiang Wen the origin of this Immortal Gate Gathering, a place where Qingzhou cultivators trade and gather. Taicang City is commercially developed, and cultivators have also followed the crowd and chosen this place. The Immortal Gate Market belongs to the gathering place for small sects and loose cultivators, with common regulations to abide by.

"In that case, we are very safe," Jiang Wen said.

"It is an honor for this old man that the Prefectural Governor can come here."

In the end, the world is still the world where ordinary people live.

"Then this old man will await your lord's good news."

Walking slowly along the streets of the market, compared to Taicang's commercial street, it seemed much quieter here. After all, thinking about it, how many cultivators are there in Daqian? Compared with ordinary people, they can only be said to be fireflies competing with the sun and moon.

And Jiang Wen and Li Yunshang, who were known as being foolish with money, were eating something in an immortal food shop. Perhaps nourished by spiritual energy, the taste of this food shop was significantly more delicious than ordinary ingredients.

"Didn't do anything, just keeping a souvenir." He silently put away his phone and followed Li Yunshang.

"I heard that the former Vice Minister Li's young son passed away, I wonder if this is true?"

"What is this? Pills for marrow cleansing? Pills for prolonging life? Pills for treating external injuries? I want them all."

"Let's go, the Immortal Gate Gathering is ahead."

Jiang Wen sold ten boxes without hesitation, exchanging them for a lot of spirit stones from the shopkeeper.

Hearing someone talking about Lord Li, Jiang Wen glanced at the other party. It was an old man with white hair and a pot-bellied man. Both of them were surrounded by beauties, feeding them wine and licking them, which made him a little envious and jealous.

The shopkeeper saw the strange drink in their hands, and also tried a sip, finding that the taste was unique but very appealing. He then asked Jiang Wen about the source of the drink, and even offered to buy Coke with spirit stones.

"..." Li Yunshang was silent, pursing her lips for a long time without saying a word.

"This matter is not simple, my lord, listen to this old man..."

"Storage bags, give me ten first."

"Heard some rumors." Jiang Wen replied. "I heard that the Emperor is going to select women from all over Daqian again, do you know about this?"

Li Yunshang ignored them, walked up the stairs in the backyard to the attic, and then came to a corridor where there was no way to go.

It's worthy of being the Emperor's life, he can still live for more than three hundred years in this world. Jiang Wen inexplicably remembered what the old man with the life fire had said at the beginning. The other party seemed to want to say something at the time, but those words were interrupted by Li Yunshang.

"This alchemy and formation book, as well as those cultivation methods for mortals, pack them all up."

When he and Li Yunshang reconciled the accounts, he found that he hadn't earned back as much as he had spent.

......

Buying things like stocking up, soon the Immortal Gate Market spread the word that there was a cultivator who was foolish with money, buying all kinds of useless goods in the market. Even martial arts techniques and elixirs for mortals, he bought without hesitation.

Chasing enemies, fighting, swindling, and cheating are not allowed here. Otherwise, they will be resisted by everyone, and they will be reported to the Taishen Palace and put on the wanted list. At that time, there will be nowhere to escape, and those who violate the rules will find it difficult to survive in Daqian.

Arriving at several shops, the shopkeepers all showed joy when they saw the cultivator entering. It is said that cultivators open shops, and it is normal for them not to open for three years. For people like them who have hundreds or thousands of years of life, they have already enjoyed many things in the mortal world. What they are pursuing now is longevity and the improvement of cultivation.

Coming to the back hall, it was much quieter than the front hall. There were literati and elegant guests chanting and admiring the moon in the courtyard. Seeing strangers, they all looked sideways and sized them up.

The emperor's longevity may not be a good thing for the world.

Bishui flows, and immortal cranes and auspicious beasts dance. The passers-by are all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and their expressions are calm.

In the shop, Jiang Wen saw a lot of good things. He even found a basic alchemy technique.

"Don't worry, I have to think about it carefully."

As if being in the mountains and fields, the state of mind is far away from the filth of the world.

"There are restrictions here, and cultivators cannot use their spiritual sense to distinguish their identities." Li Yunshang stretched her muscles and bones and said. "Even the people of Pingnan Marquis can't find me here."

"It's here." Li Yunshang pointed to the carved wall and said.

"It won't be..." He seemed to have thought of something, and saw Li Yunshang sticking to the wall and inputting magic power, and an invisible formation quietly broke open.

Jiang Wen and Li Yunshang had a full meal, and then opened a bottle of Coke and drank happily.

Following Li Yunshang's footsteps, heaven and earth were reversed, and the sun and moon changed.

"This Emperor really knows how to enjoy himself." Jiang Wen sighed. "Selecting thousands of beauties from each state, wouldn't there be tens of thousands of women entering the capital in Daqian? Can the Emperor handle it all?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Li Yunshang shook her head and rolled her eyes. "The Emperor has always been so lecherous, even my master can't persuade him."

After walking to the back hall, she said in a muffled voice: "There is such a thing."

"Not really, you should still pay attention." Li Yunshang said softly. "The Immortal Gate Gathering will have all kinds of good things, if you like something, remember to tell me."

So after some discussion, they decided to buy some more magic weapons.

"I should always give you a flying sword, why not go buy one now." Li Yunshang suggested.

Jiang Wen agreed without hesitation.
