The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

Before Jiang Qingyi recovered, the woman was waiting by the side, as if she wanted to say something to her.

"Sister, my name is Qiao Manni and I'm from Sifang City. Where are you from?" Qiao Manni asked in a very familiar manner.

Jiang Qingyi felt good about the girl in front of her, and after she recovered, she started talking to her, "My name is Jiang Qingyi, and I'm from Wuyin City."

"Wuyin City, I heard it's very dangerous there. I didn't expect you to dare to go to such a place. By the way, I'm going to Quming City, what about you?"

"Me too. I heard that Brahma College is recruiting students, so I went to see what's going on."

"Haha, what a coincidence, I'm also going to Brahma College, we can go together."

"Okay!" Jiang Qingyi agreed readily.

Zhongzhou is different from other places. Her strength is not the highest here. There will always be some dangers when traveling alone. It will be different with a companion.

"Do you want to take the teleportation array and go directly to Quming City or...?"

"Is there any explanation for this?" Jiang Qingyi asked after hearing the hidden meaning in her words.

"Nothing, I just heard that there are many people in Quming City, and the elixirs and magic tools are much more expensive than other places, so I want to buy some here before taking the teleportation array."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I just need to slow down. I'm afraid I'll pass out from vomiting if I sit on the teleportation array twice in a row."

It was the first time for both of them to visit this place, and they spared no effort in exploring.

The two strolled to the largest trading house in the city.

Qiao Manni introduced Jiang Qingyi enthusiastically, "This Zhenlong Pavilion is the largest trading house in Zhongzhou. There is one in almost every large city. You can buy and sell items there. There are special appraisers to help with appraisals. They also hold auctions from time to time. The auctions are full of very rare items, but the prices are not fixed."

“Can we sell things here?”

"Of course, the price will be a little lower than the market price. But they are a big family with a lot of money, so they won't cheat you. If you are worried about doing business outside, it's definitely a good idea to come here."

As soon as Qiao Manni finished speaking, a young man came over and asked, "What are you two looking at?"

"How much do your rejuvenation pills cost?"

"A pill like the Rejuvenation Pill, which is in high demand and relatively simple to refine, is naturally the cheapest. It only costs five hundred lower-grade spirit stones per pill, and a bottle of ten costs five thousand lower-grade spirit stones."

Jiang Qingyi's face was full of questions when she heard this. She really had no idea about the market for elixirs, and she never expected that such things could be sold at such a high price. It was simply too outrageous.

However, when Qiao Manni heard the price, she felt like she had gotten a great bargain and immediately ordered ten bottles.

Jiang Qingyi really couldn't understand why the things made from the lowest grade spiritual plants were so expensive. After thinking about it, she asked about the prices of several types of spiritual plants used to make rejuvenation pills.

"Brother, how much are your spring grass, blue moon grass, and May flower for sale?"

"Miss, you are asking about the spiritual plants used to refine the Rejuvenation Pill, right? These things are very common spiritual plants and can be cultivated, so they only cost ten low-grade spiritual stones per plant."

Jiang Qingyi nodded in understanding. Pills were extremely profitable. Seven or eight spiritual plants could be used to refine twenty to thirty pills. The profits involved... I couldn't even imagine it. I really couldn't imagine it.

She happened to be short of spirit stones, but she didn't know whether they would take back low-level elixirs like Chundan.

"So you guys collect medicinal pills? Rejuvenation pills, detoxification pills, and soul-restoring pills."

"Yes, but the price can only be determined after being evaluated by an appraiser. Also, these pills must be made by alchemists recognized by the Pharmacist Union."

"Thank you, young man." Jiang Qingyi thanked him politely. When she heard that there were conditions, she decided not to sell it for the time being. She would talk about it later.

The main reason was that she had not yet figured out the distribution and situation of these forces in Zhongzhou, so it was not easy for her to join any of them rashly.

Qiao Manni also selected some other elixirs and defensive magic weapons here.

Jiang Qingyi only took a fancy to a few simple refining materials and bought them.

After coming out of Zhenlong Pavilion, Qiao Manni pulled Jiang Qingyi in another direction, "Come on, let's go. I'll take you to eat something delicious. It's nearby. Zhenlong Restaurant is a place that everyone loves to go to."

Jiang Qingyi exerted a little force to make Qiao Manni stop. "Can't all cultivators above the foundation building stage practice fasting? Why do restaurants still exist?"

"You don't understand this, right? The food in this Zhenlong Restaurant is all made from spiritual fruits, spiritual vegetables and spiritual beast meat. They don't eat ordinary food because those things have impurities that will block the tendons and veins, but eating spiritual food doesn't have this problem, so many people are willing to go there. You can't give up delicious food just because you embark on a journey of cultivation. That would be too boring."

"So that's how it is." After understanding what was going on, Jiang Qingyi let Qiao Manni take her to the restaurant.

It was dinner time when the two arrived at the restaurant and there were quite a few people sitting inside.

Qiao Manni took Jiang Qingyi to find a seat in a corner, and then a waiter came over immediately to take the order.

Jiang Qingyi was no longer shocked when she saw that the waiters in the restaurant were all at the fifth level of foundation building. Zhongzhou was indeed a place full of cultivators.

She glanced at the menu and found that the food in this restaurant was not cheap, so she signaled Qiao Manni to order fewer dishes.

Jiang Qingyi didn't plan to let Qiao Manni treat her either, she would pay later.

The dishes they ordered arrived quickly, and Jiang Qingyi tasted the so-called spiritual fruit.

After eating it, she frowned slightly. Why was this spiritual fruit different from what she had imagined? She thought it would be full of spiritual energy when she put it in her mouth, but in fact there was only a little bit, even worse than the fruit grown in the ordinary land in her space.

Not only fruits, but also vegetables are like this. The meat of spiritual beasts is not as good as the giant snake meat and wolf meat she had eaten in the secret realm before.

The so-called Zhenlong Restaurant is just like this, Jiang Qingyi made an assessment in her heart.

Seeing that Jiang Qingyi did not show great enthusiasm, Qiao Manni asked hesitantly, "Qingyi, what's wrong? Is this dish not to your liking?"

Jiang Qingyi smiled and shook her head, "No, I don't have a strong appetite, so I feel the same no matter what I eat."

After she finished speaking, she left the seat with the excuse of going to the front desk to get something to drink, and paid for the meal at the same time while buying the drink.

When leaving, Qiao Manni whispered, "I was planning to treat you to a meal, Qingyi, why did you go and pay for it yourself? Don't do this next time."

Jiang Qingyi nodded good-temperedly, "Okay, I'll let you treat me next time, okay?"

After that, they had nothing else to do so they went to queue up at the teleportation array.

This is one of the important turning points to Quming City. It is a well-connected transportation hub with countless people queuing up.

Especially because of the enrollment of Brahma Academy, Yangning City has specially opened a separate teleportation array to send those monks who want to go to Quming City.

But the line was extremely long, and Jiang Qingyi and her friend waited in line for three hours before it was their turn.
