12 Underground Market
After sending Lu Qi out of the side courtyard, Lu Yang returned to her own room.
He took out a Cosmic Bag. Inside was the thousand Spirit Essence Stone he had won from Wu Shou.
Spirit Essence Stone were ores that contained Spirit Element s. Because they could be directly absorbed, they were extremely important cultivation resources to cultivators.
It was also because of this that Spirit Essence Stone became the currency for cultivators.
Lu Yang then took out the thousand Spirit Essence Stone.
He first held the two Spirit Essence Stone in his hands, then circulated his Spirit Qi, causing a suction force to emanate from the center of his palm.
Traces of strange energy were then pulled out of the Spirit Essence Stone and absorbed into Lu Yang's palm, before finally flowing through his meridians and spreading throughout his bones and limbs …
At the same time, the stone that the Spirit Element used up turned into dust and dissipated.
This kind of cultivation lasted for less than an hour. When Lu Yang absorbed the energy from the eight hundred Source Spirits into his body, he finally stopped moving.
The eyes that were originally shut suddenly opened as a golden light flashed across them.
Late stage The Psychic Realm, breakthrough!
Using eight hundred Spirit Essence Stone as a price to achieve a breakthrough was considered to be a good result, but Lu Yang was still not satisfied.
"My body's strength hasn't increased enough …" Looks like I still need to use some spirit medicine. "
Lu Yang had to train both the inner and outer parts of the Vajra Devil Scripture he cultivated, as long as it attracted the pure Spirit Element. But the refinement of the body by the ordinary Spirit Element seemed to be somewhat inefficient, as it generally required medicinal herbs with special effects.
Thinking about it here, Lu Yang took a glance at the remaining two hundred Spirit Essence Stone s beside him and decided to make a trip out tomorrow.
"..."
The next morning, the sunlight shone through the window and onto the youth cultivating on the bed. His eyelids twitched and then he stopped his morning lessons, slowly opening his eyes.
"Lu Yang."
A light and delicate voice that was as sweet as an oriole came from outside the door, Lu Yang could not help but smile.
He pushed open the door and saw a young girl dressed in light green standing outside. She was smiling, a smile gentler than the morning sun, and her eyes were as clear as a spring in a deep valley.
Qing Lian was only fourteen years old, which was exactly the so called young age of the beancurd. Her body seemed to possess an elegant and refined temperament, which made this young girl seem as if she was living in a muddy world without being tainted by mud.
"This little girl …"
Lu Yang shook his head helplessly.
If it weren't for the fact that beauties were a disaster, Qing Lian rarely went out of the door. She had only revealed herself to Lu Qi twice, and there were already many admirers within the Qingta City.
"You came to find me so early. What's the matter?" Lu Yang casually asked.
"Did you forget? You promised to take me out to play when I got better. "
Qing Lian smiled faintly, the corners of her mouth forming two exquisite dimples, her smile like flowers blooming in the wind, Shan Shan's Cute.
"Ugh …"
Lu Yang thought for a bit, this was probably what he had said to comfort Qing Lian when her yin and yang energy flared up.
However, he happened to plan to go out today, so he nodded at Qing Lian: "Then let's go. I'll bring you out for a good day."
"Really?" Qing Lian's watery eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Lu Yang replied with a smile.
"Great!" Qing Lian was beaming with joy.
Lu Yang cleaned himself up quickly and then led Qing Lian out of the side yard.
When they passed by the courtyard, they met Lu Ying and the others. These youths all stared blankly at Qing Lian who rarely appeared in front of people.
Seeing Lu Yang talking and laughing with Qing Lian, everyone could not help but feel envious and jealous.
If it was in the past, these untactful people would come and find trouble with Lu Yang. However, as the news of the Goat Horn Mountain spread around the family, everyone's attitude towards Lu Yang changed without exception.
Stepping out of the house, Lu Yang led Qing Lian to stroll on the main street.
On the other hand, Qing Lian's interest was high. She was very curious about everything and wandered around in front of various stalls, but she was sensible enough to not ask to buy anything.
However, it was inevitable that Qing Lian's appearance would attract a lot of attention. Fortunately, although this young girl did not go out much throughout the year, she was well-known to all. Everyone knew that she was the adopted daughter of Lu Family, so most of the apprentices did not dare to recklessly harass her.
Waiting until Qing Lian was a little tired from playing, Lu Yang finally brought her to circle around the streets, and in the end, they entered a dark alley.
The alley was very narrow, and there were many hawkers lining up on both sides. Most of them were wearing bamboo hats that concealed their faces, which made them seem rather strange under the shadow of the sun that couldn't reach them.
"Lu Yang, what is this place?"
The gloomy atmosphere made Qing Lian a little nervous. She stood beside Lu Yang and grabbed his sleeves as she asked.
"Underground Market." Lu Yang's tone did not sound unfamiliar with this place, "In every city, there are some goods that are sold for various reasons that are not convenient to appear in the sunlight, and this is precisely the place where these kinds of underground trades are conducted."
Qing Lian nodded as if she understood something.
Within the Underground Market, it was true that there were a lot of goods that came from unorthodox backgrounds, but there were also some rather unique items. The seller would probably get into trouble and they would sell them here as well.
But no matter what kind of situation it was, the products of Underground Market all had one common characteristic: they were cheap.
At the very least, it would sell for a bit less than the regular market price.
But correspondingly, the fish and dragons were mixed here, the products were genuine and unjustifiable, and the people here were of high standards, it could be said to be a region that didn't care about the people in the Qingta City.
After walking into the Underground Market, Qing Lian did not fail to attract the attention of the crowd.
In this dark underground world, the girl's elegant figure seemed even more otherworldly.
At first, Qing Lian was still following closely by Lu Yang's side, but after walking for a while, the girl's curiosity finally overcame her worry and she began to feel the various items that filled her vision.
Lu Yang's gaze busily swept the place, looking for the spirit medicine he wanted.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, his gaze froze. What appeared in his line of sight was a bizarre looking head. To be more precise, it was a fruit that looked like a stone.
"Good eye!"
When Lu Yang stared at the Heterocarp, the stall owner who had extremely sharp eyes immediately opened them: "This Spirit Fruit is called 'Barbarian Stone Fruit', it is a first grade spirit medicine, and it contains a large amount of Spirit Element, which is suitable for cultivation and absorption, and it has the effect of tempering the body, and can even be used to assist with the cultivation of the body and soul … Only selling them for three hundred Spirit Essence Stone, it is definitely worth it! "
The vendor was trying his best to recommend his wares. His eyes that were filled with smiles beneath the bamboo hat looked at Lu Yang, who was clearly a fat sheep that was waiting to be slaughtered.
Lu Yang grinned: "The Barbarian Stone Fruit is indeed a first grade spirit medicine, but the Spirit Element contained within is not more than fifty Spirit Essence Stone, and its mix is not pure, saying that it's suitable for cultivation, isn't that too laughable?"
The smile on the vendor's face stiffened.
