After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger
Chapter 26 Imperial City
As soon as she returned to the Pei family, Pei Tan and a large group of Pei family members came to the door to greet her in person. Pei Yun even saw Pei Mo standing next to Pei Qing, looking at her with a flattering smile on his face. She was immediately choked by the huge contrast between his before and after, which was really disgusting.
"Yun'er, you're finally back. We've been looking forward to seeing you these days." Pei Tan unconsciously smiled in a flattering tone, "Shi'er also came back a few days ago, and this time he broke through to the Foundation Establishment level. I heard him say that it was the Foundation Establishment Pill you gave him that helped him break through..."
Pei Yun was excited when she heard the news of Pei Shi's breakthrough, and she couldn't help but feel happy for her elder brother. She ignored Pei's hint of asking for the elixir, and didn't say a word all the way. When she arrived at the backyard of the second house of the Pei family, she met Pei Shi and his wife who came over, and then she smiled: "Big brother and sister-in-law."
"Fifth sister, you're back." Pei Shi went to greet her, and both of their faces were filled with joy of reunion.
"Brother, congratulations on your breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage."
"This is all thanks to the Foundation Building Pill you gave me."
Pei Yun shook his head: "Brother, this is because you have a solid foundation and have reached this level of strength. The Foundation Building Pill only increases the chance of success in foundation building. If you can break through by relying on the Foundation Building Pill alone, then not everyone can reach the Foundation Building stage..."
"That's right, Yun'er is right, Shi'er, don't underestimate yourself."
Pei Shi broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Apart from Pei Qing and his wife, the happiest person in the Pei family was Pei Tan. Pei Yun was a concubine's daughter after all, and her relationship with the Pei family was not good. Naturally, her connection with the Pei family was not as strong as that of Pei Shishen, the eldest son of the second branch. He was already planning to train Pei Shi as the next head of the Pei family.
"Now, our Pei family also has three people who have established their foundation..." Pei Tan laughed heartily, patted Pei Yun and Pei Shi on the shoulders, turned his head casually to glance at Pei Yun, and suddenly his smile stopped. He pointed at her in amazement. He couldn't even see through Pei Yun's cultivation. "Yun, Yun'er... you have made a breakthrough again!" Obviously, she was still in the early stage of foundation building more than a year ago, so Pei Tan, who was also in the early stage of foundation building, could see her cultivation, but now...
Hearing this, everyone stared at Pei Yun in disbelief. It had only been a year, and he had made another breakthrough. You know, the higher the level of cultivation, the harder it is to break through, but Pei Yun was only a few years old this year! He was already in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Impossible... How is this possible..." Pei Mo covered his chest with his hands, looking shocked. He had lived for decades and had been stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining for so many years and had not been able to break through. But for this little girl to break through was as easy as drinking water. This was simply unacceptable...
"I was lucky enough to break through to the middle stage of foundation building." If she had not participated in this mission to wipe out the demon cave, had not experienced the test of life and death, and had not risked her life to take out the Demon Stone, it would have taken her at least one or two years to break through. Therefore, danger and opportunity often coexist, and it depends on how to make a choice.
"Then I should congratulate you! Fifth sister." Pei Shi smiled.
The people from the second branch of the Pei family all had happy expressions on their faces. Even though the people from the first branch of the Pei family were jealous, they did not dare to show it for a moment. They only had forced smiles on their faces, and they were in a happy mood for a while.
In the evening, Pei Tan specially arranged a dinner to celebrate. Pei Yun showed up briefly and then left. Instead of hypocritically socializing with these people, she would rather go to pay tribute to her mother.
Pei Yun stayed at the Pei family for three days. Apart from paying homage to his mother, he stayed in his room to practice. Early that morning, he and Pei Shi received a notice and went to the City Lord's Mansion together.
Quite a few people had gathered in the City Lord's Mansion. Pei Yun and the other person walked to the group of accompanying young men who were going to the imperial city. There were a total of twenty people in this group. Nearly half of them were like Pei Shi, who were ten years younger than Pei Yun and their cultivation was almost at the initial stage of foundation building. The other half were about the same age as Pei Yun, about three years older than her. Except for Pei Yun who was in the foundation building stage, the others were basically in the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining Stage.
As soon as Pei Yun appeared, he became the focus of everyone present. After learning that only more than a year had passed, Pei Yun had actually broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, the people present were as shocked as the Pei family.
Those young unmarried young men behaved more attentively in front of Pei Yun. Even the city lord and the elders of the five major families specially called her to the inner hall for questioning, and they acted kindly and amiable.
After staying in the City Lord's Mansion for one night, the group flew to the Imperial City on the City Lord's Mansion's spiritual crane the next morning...
"My dear, the gate of this imperial city is so huge!" Li Wan stayed beside Pei Shi, looking at the huge gate and the thick city wall that seemed to have no end, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This imperial city is much more magnificent than Qianwen City..."
Pei Shi nodded in agreement: "No wonder everyone wants to enter the Imperial City."
Pei Yun also observed with great interest. The streets in the imperial city were much wider than those in Chi Ning City. More than ten people walking side by side did not feel crowded. The shops on both sides of the street were clean and sold a wide variety of items, most of which were related to cultivators.
Pei Yun paid special attention to the fact that the ratio of cultivators to ordinary mortals in the imperial city was very high, about nine out of ten people were cultivators. Unlike their Chi Ning City, the proportion of cultivators was actually less than that of mortals, accounting for about 40%.
But it is also true that the Imperial City is rich in resources, but it also costs a lot and consumption is expensive. It is simply difficult for ordinary mortals to make a living in the Imperial City.
Because they were representing Chi Ning City to participate in the competition among various cities, they did not need to find another place to stay and went directly to the Yunlai Inn in the inner city to entertain guests from various cities.
As soon as they entered, the lobby of the inn was full of people, and the atmosphere was bustling. Their Chi Ning City was not a big city, so no one came up to talk to them. They just glanced at the people in Chi Ning City and ignored them.
Lord Zhao of Chi Ning City handed the city lord's order to the inn's manager, and the manager took them to a courtyard at the innermost part of the backyard, where the monks from the small city lived.
People from other cities had gradually moved in around the courtyard. Some cultivators who knew City Lord Zhao and the five major families immediately came forward to start a conversation.
Pei Yun followed behind the crowd, not paying attention. She observed silently and found that the cultivation levels of the cultivators in other small cities were comparable to those of Chi Ning City.
Like this time, six out of the ten people participating in the competition in Chi Ningcheng are in the Jindan stage, among which City Lord Zhao is in the middle Jindan stage, the other five are in the early Jindan stage, and the remaining four are in the late foundation-building stage.
Combining this strength with Pei Yun's observations on the way into the inn and the information Chi Ningcheng got before the game, they are indeed a small town with relatively low strength.
"Fifth sister, Wan'er is in your care." This time, Chi Ningcheng brought a total of fifty people, including followers and confidants, and there were only four or five women.
"Don't worry, my sister-in-law and I will live in the same room, and I will definitely take care of her." Pei Yun smiled, took Li Wan's hand, and walked into the assigned room.
She and Li Wan simply tidied up the room and set up a small magic circle on the door. She also looked at the magic circle secrets in the space. Although it was difficult to learn, she still felt that there were many benefits to knowing the magic circle. The magic circle in the magic cave last time was a lesson!
She couldn't always rely on the silver mirror to break the formation. What if one day she encountered a formation that was higher level than the silver mirror? Of course, she had just learned this kind of basic formation, so it was just a warning.
The two stayed in the room for a while, and then Pei Shi called them out for dinner. While eating, they heard people at the next table talking about the market outside the imperial city. They were also quite interested, so they made an appointment to go shopping together...
The West Street in the outer city was crowded with people at this moment. There were many stalls set up by monks on both sides of the street. They were there to exchange goods with other monks for good things, or to sell things they didn't need.
Because there were so many people and many goods on the stalls, Pei Yun agreed with Pei Shi that if they were separated, she would go directly back to the inn and there would be no need to look for her specifically.
"Girl, take a look! This is a top-quality magic weapon that I brought back from the secret realm..."
"All kinds of pills, Qi-boosting pills, spirit-gathering pills, beauty-enhancing pills... come and take a look!"
"I made this talisman myself. It is of top quality. It only costs twenty low-grade spirit stones..."
……
Pei Yun listened to the endless hawking sounds and strolled along the way with great interest. Although he didn't see anything good, he was in a good mood because he felt the lively atmosphere.
She came to a stall selling seeds of spiritual herbs and flowers. There were not many people at the stall and it was quite deserted.
Pei Yun squatted down and took a closer look at the bags of flower and plant seeds on the stall. Some of them were the most common alchemy materials, and some she was not familiar with. However, she had the space in her hands and would be able to cultivate them quickly.
“How do you sell these seeds?”
The monk who was selling the seeds raised his eyelids and took a look: "What kind of seeds do you want?"
"I want all the seeds from your stall."
The cultivator seemed to be shocked by Pei Yun's arrogance. He looked at her several times and said half-doubtfully, "These seeds of mine will cost thousands of low-grade spirit stones. You are so young, little girl. Can you afford them?"
"Huh? You want to sell these broken seeds for thousands of spirit stones, isn't that a rip-off? Don't be fooled, little girl." A stall owner nearby was also idle at the moment. Hearing the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but sneer and sneer. He then tried his best to recommend the formation materials on his stall to Pei Yun, "Little girl, take a look at the formation plates and flags here. I made them all by myself. I'm a ninth-grade formation master..."
Pei Yun now has tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones in her storage bag, all of which were earned from selling the pills she refined, as well as hundreds of medium-grade spirit stones obtained from the space, so she is not short of spirit stones for the time being. Moreover, after exchanging points for materials for refining pills, she has refined a lot of pills, which are now in the storage bag and have not been sold yet.
Of course, Pei Yun didn't want to be taken advantage of, so she roughly estimated the cost and said to the cultivator selling the seeds, "I'll buy all five hundred low-grade spirit stones."
"Nine hundred spirit stones. I collected them bit by bit. There are also many rare seeds, such as wind reed grass, leaf grass, snow-melting grass... and these. As long as you plant them, they can all be used as materials for foundation-building pills and mind-condensing pills..."
"You also said you wanted to plant it. Now it's just seeds. It will take a long time to grow it into usable materials, and it's not certain whether it can be planted... Six hundred spirit stones, if you are willing, it's a deal." Pei Yun bargained without hesitation and finally settled on six hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones.
"By the way, you only accept spirit stones. Do you accept pills as well?" She suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Of course I will. Do you have any pills? I won't accept any of poor quality."
Pei Yun didn't say anything and handed him a bottle of Qi-boosting pills.
The monk poured out a few pills and examined them carefully. His hesitant face gradually showed unusual excitement. Finally, his face flushed and he said, "They are all top-quality pills. How many pills do you have?"
"Eighth- and ninth-grade elixirs. Tell me what you need. If I have them, I'll exchange them with you. Of course, the total value of the elixirs cannot exceed 650 low-grade spirit stones."
"Okay, okay, okay, I don't want the spirit stones. I will exchange them for your pills..." The monk was extremely excited.
In the end, Pei Yun exchanged all the seeds for a bottle of ten eighth-grade top-grade Spirit Gathering Pills and a bottle of ten ninth-grade top-grade Qi Replenishing Pills.
After the seed transaction, Pei Yun did not leave. He went to the stall selling formation materials to take a look, selected a formation plate and some formation flags, bargained for some time, and bought them for two bottles of grade nine top-grade elixirs.
Then she went around and bought a lot of things, and only returned to the inn satisfied until it got dark.
Pei Shi and his wife had already returned to the inn. Seeing Pei Yun coming back so late, they both smiled and shook their heads.
It must be said that shopping really makes people happy. Pei Yun also treated them to a midnight snack in the lobby of the inn. The food in this inn is all made with spiritual ingredients, and a meal costs dozens of spirit stones.
"That's enough, Fifth Sister, stop ordering. The three of us can't finish it all." Seeing that she had ordered eight or nine dishes, Pei Shi hurriedly stopped her from ordering any more.
Pei Yun happily told them about his gains today, and finally took out a pair of jade hairpins for them. Although these two jade hairpins were only yellow-level medium-grade magic tools and had no protective effect, they were made of the same piece of spiritual jade. As long as one of the jade hairpins was damaged, the other one would be sensed and broken at the same time.
"You two should wear it. If your sister-in-law is in danger, you will know it immediately."
This gift was so much to Pei Shi's liking that he couldn't refuse it. He picked up the wine glass and thanked Pei Yun: "Fifth sister, we two would like to thank you very much. Big brother really needs this magic weapon, so we won't be polite to you."
"Fifth sister, thank you so much." Li Wan also solemnly picked up the wine glass and toasted her.
To be honest, since they met Pei Yun, their situation has been getting better little by little. They were originally struggling to survive at the bottom of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, but now that Pei Shi has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Pei family not only no longer treats them coldly, but also tries hard to please them and wants them to return to the Pei family. In the Loose Cultivator Alliance Qianwen City branch, once a cultivator advances to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the treatment will be greatly improved. At least Pei Shi will not be treated as cannon fodder like before.
"Brother and sister-in-law, there's no need to be polite."
The three of them raised their glasses together, clinked them in the air, and drank them all in one gulp.
The three of them remembered this heartwarming scene deeply in their hearts. A long time later, when they gathered together again, everything had changed and they were filled with emotion...
