Two days later.

Two Iron Feather Eagles, like sharp swords, shuttled through the clouds and mist.

“Changsheng, the Nine Dragons Market is just ahead. Get ready to descend.”

“Be careful not to collide with the market’s formation, or you’ll face an attack from the formation.”

Clad in a long white dress with raven-black hair cascading over her fragrant snow-white shoulders, Lu Miaoge sat elegantly upon an Iron Feather Eagle, transmitting her voice to Lu Changsheng.

“Okay, Sister Miaoge.”

Lu Changsheng nodded. He could already see the vast Nine Dragons Market ahead of him.

Looking down from high above, the entire marketplace appeared to be even larger than Qingzhu Mountain, covering an estimated tens of thousands of acres.

It was surrounded by nine towering peaks, piercing the sky and forming an arch.

This was also the origin of the name Nine Dragons Market.

On the nine peaks, one could see terraced fields filled with Spirit Plants, and around the marketplace, large tracts of Spirit Fields were cultivated.

The interior of the marketplace was obscured by formations, appearing hazy, only allowing a general outline to be discerned, without clear details.

As they neared Nine Dragons Market, the number of cultivators coming and going increased significantly.

Some rode spiritual birds, some flew with magical instruments, and others steered flying boats.

There were also quite a few mounted on Demon Beast steeds, sprinting across the land or escorting goods.

This gave Lu Changsheng a sense of the intense atmosphere of cultivation.

Having stayed within Qingzhu Mountain all this time, this was his first visit to such a cultivator’s marketplace.

The Bullhead Mountain back then was just a small gathering place for loose cultivators, not even a proper marketplace, and it lacked the atmosphere of cultivation.

A moment later, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge safely landed their Iron Feather Eagles next to the entrance of the Nine Dragons Market.

While it was called a marketplace, it looked much like a city.

It was much more magnificent than Ruyi County City, which he had visited before.

The nearly hundred-meter-tall walls of the city lay like a slumbering dragon, connecting and encircling the nine protected peaks.

There was a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy on the city walls, clearly marked with formations.

Lu Changsheng felt that the defensive formation of the Nine Dragons Market was an even higher level than that of Qingzhu Mountain.

But that was to be expected.

Qingzhu Mountain was a Second Grade Middle Grade Spirit Vein.

The Nine Dragons Market was rumored to be a Second Grade High Grade Spirit Vein with multiple branches, making it much larger than Qingzhu Mountain.

Moreover, the Nine Dragons Market was established by the Qingyun Sect, naturally equipped with great formations set by an Array Master.

The two reached the entrance gatehouse.

The gatehouse towered dozens of meters high, majestic and expansive, making one feel very small when standing before it.

There were two Qingyun Sect cultivators standing guard at the entrance, with a small pavilion nearby.

Every cultivator entering the marketplace had to show an identity token.

Without an identity token, one needed to register information and pay Spirit Stones to get one at the small pavilion.

Lu Miaoge told Lu Changsheng that the identity token came in temporary and long-term versions.

The temporary one cost a single Spirit Stone and was only valid for half a month.

The long-term fee was ten Spirit Stones, valid for two years.

Only those who bought a house in the marketplace or owned a shop could get a free living quota.

If the identity token expired and was not renewed on time while one was still inside the marketplace, they would be captured by the Qingyun Sect’s Enforcement Team and fined Spirit Stones.

And if they didn’t have Spirit Stones to pay the fine, they would be arrested and put to work to repay the debt.

This was also one of the main sources of profit for the establishment of the marketplace.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but quietly sigh, no wonder many cultivators avoided coming to such large marketplaces.

Although it was safer and more convenient than the outside, for lower-level cultivators, the entry fee was not a small amount.

Moreover, after entering the marketplace, they would have to pay for food, lodging, and other expenses.

As for buying a house or owning a shop in the marketplace, it was obviously very difficult without even thinking much about it.

Indeed, cultivation is difficult, but survival is even harder!

Afterwards, Lu Changsheng followed the crowd and paid ten Spirit Stones to get a long-term identity token.

He could later seek reimbursement from the Lu Family for these ten Spirit Stones.

With the identity token in hand, Lu Changsheng followed Lu Miaoge into the Nine Dragons Market.

Upon entering the city, a bustling street was immediately before his eyes.

People were coming and going on the street: men, women, the elderly, and the young, almost all of them cultivators, with pavilions, towers, palaces, and houses lining both sides.

“The Qingyun Sect has regulations: no fighting or causing trouble within the marketplace, arbitrarily setting up stalls, or sleeping on the streets overnight.”

“Once discovered or reported, the Enforcement Team will come to punish the offender.”

“Moreover, aside from the Qingyun Sect’s enforcers and Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, ordinary Energy Refining Cultivators are not allowed to fly with instruments or ride mounts or Demon Beasts within the marketplace.”

Lu Miaoge transmitted this information to Lu Changsheng.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded.

No wonder he didn’t see anyone flying or riding mounts; they were all walking.

His confidence in the security environment of the Nine Dragons Market grew.

“The Nine Dragons Market is divided into five areas: east, west, south, north, and center.”

“The central area is also the core of the Second Grade Spirit Vein and is where Qingyun Sect disciples live and cultivate. Only a small portion of cave dwellings is open to outsiders.”

“The Eastern District is where some cultivator families and wealthy households reside. Our Lu Family has a large compound there. You can also stay there if you like; the spiritual energy is between that of a First Grade and Middle Grade Spirit Vein.”

“The Western District is where loose cultivators live. The conditions there are relatively worse, but it also has the standard of a First Grade Spirit Vein.”

“The Southern and Northern Districts are commercial and entertainment areas, with all sorts of inns, taverns, and shops for daily living needs located in these two districts.”

“We are now in the Northern District, and our Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop is just ahead.”

Lu Miaoge guided Lu Changsheng as they walked towards the center of the city, continuously introducing him to the details of the Nine Dragons Market.
