The reason it felt strange.

It’s because there were more than ten customers gathered around the stall, making it exceptionally lively.

More importantly, these customers weren’t the kind with horns on their heads and tails behind them from the Devil Race, but were genuinely human.

So many human cultivators were gathered around a single stall?

Xuanqing soon joined them.

…

The stall owner had a fat face with fan-shaped ears and a long nose and a large belly.

Oh!

It turns out to be a pig demon!

The reason for attracting so many humans to watch was not the appearance of the stall owner but the items on his stall.

Cultivation techniques!

All kinds of cultivation techniques recorded in green skin books.

A demon, selling human cultivation techniques, is indeed rather bizarre.

But what’s strange is that the faces of these gathered humans didn’t show any sign of surprise, as if they were accustomed to this.

“King Gangling, how much do you sell this Five Elements Formation for? How many spirit stones?” A human cultivator asked.

King Gangling?

Hearing this address, Xuanqing couldn’t help but pause.

Could it be that the pig demon in front of him was the famous Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Bajie of the legends?

“Humph~” The pig boss rolled his eyes and then pointed at the sign with his hand, “Are you blind? This time, my old pig will not sell for spirit stones, but for worldly gold and silver treasures.”

Having said that,

The pig boss glanced around, “You all listen well, what my old pig wants is the gold and silver in circulation in the world, containing wealth qi.”

“Whoever dares to deceive me with gold and silver without qi, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

As soon as these words were uttered,

It was suddenly noisy.

“Weren’t the transactions in the past made with spirit stones?”

“Yeah, I didn’t even prepare any worldly yellow and white things.”

“King Gangling, can I owe you now and pay at the next trade fair?”

“That’s right, even though we are humans, we have been separated from the world for so long, where do we get gold and silver treasures?”

…

For a moment,

The cultivators gathered around the stall voiced their grievances one after another, and some even expressed the desire to owe the money first.

“Don’t make a noise, it’s making my old pig’s ears hurt!”

The pig boss shook his head, then shouted loudly, “No credit allowed, you buy it if you want, or else don’t crowd around in front of me, otherwise I’ll treat you to my spiked rake!”

“Those without money hurry up and leave, come back five years later!”

The cultivators had no choice but to grumble and curse in their hearts, but their bodies honestly shut up and dispersed.

In a short time,

There was only one person left in front of the entire stall.

Zhu Ganglie sneered and glanced at the remaining Xuanqing, wondering why he hadn’t left yet.

It wasn’t until he looked closer that he realized something.

“Huh?”

“Strange, even though his cultivation is weak, his body exudes an authentic Daoist quality not like a loose cultivator!” Zhu Ganglie squinted his small eyes and showed an interested look.

“Which sect do you belong to?”

Upon hearing this,

Xuanqing slightly smiled, then cupped his hands and said, “I am Xuanqing, coming from the East, preparing to head to the Tang Dynasty.”

From the East?

Zhu Ganglie was taken aback.

With his experience, he could naturally see that the Taoist in front of him was not lying and was indeed from the East.

From the East… from the East, the Eastern part would be the territory of the Taoism School of Three Teachings, he didn’t know if this Taoist had any connection with his master and Ren Jiao?

Zhu Ganglie’s thoughts were swirling, but his expression remained unchanged on the surface.

“Oh, it turns out it’s a Taoist from the east side. So, you want to buy cultivation techniques?”

“I mentioned earlier that I’m selling these cultivation techniques in exchange for money, not spirit stones, not natural treasures. I’m only accepting money with wealth energy in it!” Zhu Ganglie said leisurely.

Upon hearing this,

Xuanqing nodded.

Without saying much, he bent down and began searching through the stall.

There were many cultivation techniques on display, divided into several categories, such as various magical techniques, identifying natural treasures, and the most critical – cultivation techniques.

There were dozens of books, large and small.

“Hundred Refinements Sacred Axis” is a divine body refining method that uses one’s physical body as the foundation to refine it into a treasure, which would be impervious to swords and fire, eventually reaching the realm of immortality.

“Great Kun Xu Swallow” is a method rumored to have been created by an ancient sage who observed the Primordial Kun creature. Its cultivation effects are unknown.

“Ingesting Qi Decision” is a basic technique for Daoist disciples after the unification of the Three Religions. It could potentially achieve the realm of the Heavenly Immortal.

…..

After looking through more than a dozen secret cultivation texts,

Logically, one should choose the “Great Kun Xu Swallow,” which is known from its name to be a mysterious and powerful technique.

But,

Xuanqing eventually chose “Ingesting Qi Decision,” a seemingly ordinary technique used merely for laying a foundation.

After selecting the cultivation technique, he didn’t ask for the price but turned his head and began looking through the secret books on the other side.

Finally,

He selected one cultivation technique and three magical techniques.

“How much for these – ‘Ingesting Qi Decision,’ ‘Five Elements Formation,’ and ‘Treading the Clouds?'” Xuanqing pointed to his choices.

“Do you have any worldly gold or silver?” Zhu Ganglie scratched his head, unsurely asking.

In reality,

He only set up this stand to send a signal that gold and silver can be traded, laying a foundation for his next booth.

Xuanqing nodded, “King Gangling, tell me the price!”

Upon hearing this,

Zhu Ganglie’s eyes rolled around as he replied, “Seeing that you’re a Taoist from the east, we’re somewhat related.”

“I won’t deceive you. These three secret books, well…just give me a thousand taels of silver or a hundred taels of gold.”

A thousand taels of silver or a hundred taels of gold?

Xuanqing was slightly stunned.

He was worried that Zhu Ganglie would ask for an exorbitant amount. But he didn’t expect that these secrets to cultivate immortality would be sold at such a low price.

Without thinking, Xuanqing decided on the former.

After all,

In the real world, the price of gold is as high as three hundred per gram, whereas even processed silver is only around ten per gram.

“I wonder how long King Gangling will be at this trading fair?”

“I’ll be here for the entire one-month trading fair. If you want to get the money, hurry up!” Zhu Ganglie waved his hand.

“Alright, then put these three secret books aside for the time being. I’ll get the money and return!”

Xuanqing nodded, then put down the three secret books in his hand and turned to leave.

…..

Meanwhile,

After leaving Zhu Ganglie’s stall,

Xuanqing arrived at the huge ancient tree where the Black Bear Essence was.

“Both of you Daoist friends, I have some insights in my mind. I would need to go into closed-door cultivation for several days. Could you help me watch over my stuff?”

Upon hearing this,

The two demons were slightly stunned. To gain insights during a trading fair was indeed worthy of a reincarnated great power and an authentic Daoist.action

“Sure, you go ahead and close yourself off for cultivation. Nobody dares to mess with Old Black at this fair!” The Black Bear Essence patted his chest, declaring.

It must be said,

That apart from having no background, Black Bear Essence had a strong bloodline and a myriad of techniques, which were by no means inferior.
