Tianyuan City is located in the northwest of Tianqing Sect. There are seven small cities around it, and Tianyuan City is the city closest to the northwest Monster Forest.

Every year, the Tianqing Sect sends a large number of disciples to help Tianyuan City resist the annual beast tide from the Monster Forest.

Almost all cultivators who go to the Monster Forest for training or to hunt monsters to earn spirit stones for cultivation will set out from Tianyuan City.

So over the past few hundred years, Tianyuan City has gradually developed into one of the three main cities. The other two main cities are located to the west and southeast of Tianqing Sect, both of which are cities close to the Monster Forest.

Almost all the people living in the city are monks.

There are leisure families who have settled down here, and those without any background rely on their cultivation to join the family as guests or vassals.

Those who are not included in these two categories are either independent cultivators, or children of certain forces or families like Su Zi who are gaining experience outside.

Tianyuan City organizes teams to explore the Monster Forest every day, and the independent cultivators will snuggle up to each other for warmth.

However, people’s hearts are hidden, so we need to be cautious when forming a team.

Su Zi and his friends certainly didn't come here to explore the forest, so they didn't stop when they passed by the team area.

And because of these adventurous monks, Tianyuan City also has a very large trading market.

The few of them walked for a long time before they found an inn that was not yet fully occupied. The auction would be held tomorrow, and many forces from the surrounding main cities would also come. If Tianyuan City was not big enough, Su Zi and the others would probably not be able to find a place to stay.

"Let's go out to the market here tonight. Maybe we can find some treasures."

After the rooms were divided and everyone took their own room keys, Su Zi made a suggestion.

She had finished her study hours, so it wasn't easy to go out, and they weren't tired at all, so they just wanted to go out for a walk.

"Okay, okay." Chu Xingzhi was the first to agree. She lived in the same room with Su Zi. If Su Zi went out, it would be boring for her to be alone in the room.

And how could she let Su Zi go out alone? They are now good sisters who are inseparable.

......

Tianyuan City is very lively at night. Although there are no tall buildings like in the past life, the streets are brightly lit, people are coming and going, and street vendors are constantly shouting.

"The shell of a first-level giant beetle only costs fifty spirit beads. Don't miss it if you pass by~"

"Are you in need of a first-level fire sparrow cub? It has very high combat effectiveness after being trained. Would you two fellow Taoists like to take a look?

The Fire Sparrow has beautiful fur! It would be a good pet to keep!"

"Eh~, this human cultivator is quite capable, he can actually catch the monster cub? Maybe he has hidden his cultivation level, but I don't know how he disguised himself that even I can't see through him." Jin Yu suddenly teased in Su Zi's consciousness.

After listening to Jin Yu's words, Su Zi also became a little interested. She looked towards the peddler and saw that the man was hunched over and had a somewhat...pointed face and monkey cheeks.

Su Zi didn't know how to describe it, but just from his appearance, one could tell he wasn't an honest man.

"Fire Bird cub?" Just as Su Zi was about to leave, Chu Xingzhi next to her pulled her arm tightly, obviously very moved.

Her cultivation level is very low. If she could buy a young monster in the market as a contracted spirit beast, she would have some ability to protect herself in the future.

"Yes, yes, fellow Daoist, look, it's really a Fire Bird cub." After receiving Chu Xingzhi's response, the vendor recommended it more vigorously.

The man seemed to be afraid that the two would not believe him, so he opened a small corner of the cage on the table. Inside, there really was a small bird with fiery red feathers, probably as big as a palm, lying motionless inside.

"I can't tell it's a Fire Bird from your perspective. And it's not moving. Could it be dead?" Chu Xingzhi let go of Su Zi's arm, squatted in front of the stall, trying to see it more clearly.

"It's not dead, it's definitely alive. It's just that I used some medicine, so you know, if it was awake, we wouldn't be able to discuss business so peacefully." The man rubbed his hands and smiled obscenely.

The Fire Bird is indeed as bad-tempered as its name suggests. Moreover, since it is not a contracted Fire Bird, it seems to have an inherent malice towards humans.

"That cloth seems to be able to block out breath and spiritual consciousness. I can't feel whether there is a Fire Spirit Bird inside, and my spiritual consciousness can't penetrate it." Jin Yu analyzed.

"Then let him lift it up and take a look." Su Zi raised his eyebrows.

"If it's not dead, you can open it up and let us have a look. As long as it's not dead and we're sure it's a Fire Spirit Bird, we'll buy it."

The Fire Spirit Bird is a fire-attribute attacking monster. It attacks by spitting fireballs, and also by using its claws and beak.

The Fire Bird is small in size and fast in speed, and its sharp claws and beak can easily destroy the skin of a first-level ground rhinoceros.

The ground-armored rhinoceros is recognized as one of the monsters with the highest defense, so you can imagine how sharp the claws and beak of this palm-sized fire bird are.

Both the long-range attack and the progress are very good, so you won’t lose out even if you buy it.

The stall owner seemed a little hesitant, but he still gritted his teeth and lifted the brown cloth.

"This is?!"

Chu Xingzhi stood up suddenly in shock.

“You cut off the legs of this monster???” Chu Xingzhi screamed and clenched his fists.

"This is not a last resort." The man lowered his head awkwardly. "But it must be alive. As for the leg, it can be grown as long as you can find a first-grade bone-growing grass. I'll give it to you at a lower price, okay?"

"Swindler! We won't buy it. Who knows if it will have other problems?" Chu Xingzhi said angrily. If Su Zi hadn't asked to open it and take a look, they would have been forced to buy a broken one.

Even if you buy it back, the Fire Bird probably won't protect it sincerely. If it encounters a flamingo, it will probably resist even at the risk of backlash.

"Hey! This fairy just said that she would buy it as long as it is confirmed to be a Fire Bird and is not dead. You can't go back on your word!"

The man suddenly became anxious. He had already lifted the curtain, and everyone around him knew that he was selling a disabled cub. If he couldn't sell it tonight, he would lose the money.

"you!!!"

"It's okay, we'll buy it." Su Zi patted Chu Xingzhi's shoulder to comfort him, then turned and spoke to the vendor.

"I said that, I will buy it, but you have to give me a lower price. I also need to buy bone grass to treat its legs, and I will deduct the cost of this."

"Okay, okay, fellow Daoist, keep your word. I won't make a random offer. One hundred low-grade spirit stones, and you can take this Fire Spirit Bird."

Chu Xingzhi was furious: "Why don't you go and rob the hundred!"

"Fifty."

Su Zi stretched out his hand.

I learned in my previous life that if I bargained the price down to half, I would definitely go for it.

"make a deal!"

As soon as Su Zi opened his mouth, the vendor clapped his hands and agreed, as if he was afraid that Su Zi would go back on his word, and directly handed the cage over.

"It's over, Jinyu, I think I shouted too high."

"Azi, that's a Fire Spirit Bird with the blood of a Fire Crow. You should be content to buy a Fire Spirit Bird with the blood of a fierce beast for fifty low-grade spirit stones~"

Yes, when she lifted the curtain, Jin Yu felt the blood of the Fire Crow on the Fire Spirit Bird, although it was very weak. Moreover, the Fire Spirit Bird was unconscious because its blood was not fully awakened. As long as the little guy was given some time, he would wake up immediately. That was why Su Zi agreed to buy it.

"Do you have any spirit stones with you?" Su Zi turned sideways and asked Chu Xingzhi.

She wanted to see this Fire Spirit Bird. Even though it had the blood of a ferocious beast, Su Zi had no intention of signing a contract with it.

"Ah..." Chu Xingzhi was embarrassed. She didn't expect Su Zi didn't have any money either. "I, I only have thirty..." There was no other way. The outer disciples were really poor. A few days ago, they spent a few pills to eat in the dining hall.

"We don't have enough spirit stones on us. Can we use golden spirit fruits to pay for the remaining ones?" Su Zi didn't have any spirit stones on him, but he had plenty of spirit fruits and herbs.

"Sure, but only the second-grade ones, and I'll give you five spirit stones for each one."

Su Zi rolled his eyes. He really thought they were being taken advantage of.

"I only have one second-grade golden fruit and three first-grade ones. You can sell them if you want." Su Zi was about to put the cage back. "Don't think we are afraid of you. This is Tianyuan City. If you dare to force us to buy or sell, we are not afraid."

"Oh, don't be angry! Sell! Sell! Of course I'll sell!"

Su Zi took the cage back and placed the golden spirit fruit and spirit stones on the stall.

However, just as Su Zi and Chu Xingzhi were about to leave, they were suddenly interrupted by someone in a harsh voice.

"Wait a minute, Boss. I want this Fire Spirit Bird. I'll give you as many Spirit Stones as you want."
