Behind the city gate is a street over ten zhang wide, the main thoroughfare of Fengyuan City, bustling with people.

Heading north along the main road, various buildings line both sides, stacked beautifully, with high, majestic eaves.

"Celestial Star Pavilion!"

"Spirit Treasure Tower!"

"Cold Moon Pavilion!"

"Yuelai Inn"

...

Zhou Xun looked at each of them.

He even saw a building that was extremely familiar — the Hundred Treasures Pavilion!

"I didn't expect Fengguo to have a Hundred Treasures Pavilion too!"

Truly worthy of being a large commerce alliance reputed to have Core Formation cultivators as its backing!

The reason he came to Fengyuan City this time was twofold,

First, this city is extremely prosperous, far surpassing Juntian City, and the likelihood of acquiring treasures here is greater.

Second, no one knows him here, so selling the spoils he has in hand won't bring any trouble.

You should know that he has over a dozen Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts in hand.

"Senior, please wait!" Just as Zhou Xun was about to take a step forward to have a simple browse, a crisp voice came from behind him.

Zhou Xun turned his head to look, and a petite figure darted out from the corner behind the city gate.

It was a pretty young girl, about twelve or thirteen, with cultivation at only the First Layer Qi Refining, seemingly having just entered cultivation not long ago.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Xun asked expressionlessly.

"Junior Wenn Siyue, greets the senior!" The girl quickly approached Zhou Xun and respectfully performed a grand ceremonial bow.

This girl dressed simply, her hands full of old calluses, seemingly having lived a challenging life, but her eyes were filled with positivity and hope.

"You seem to be new to Fengyuan City, and must be unfamiliar with the situation here. Siyue, though unworthy, is a local resident here and knows every corner of Fengyuan City inside out,"

"If the senior doesn't mind, Siyue is willing to act as your guide. No matter where you wish to go or what you wish to do, Siyue can lead the way!"

"If the senior is satisfied, and rewards Siyue with some Spirit Essence, Siyue would be eternally grateful!"

"Alright then!"

Zhou Xun nodded, for his first time in Fengyuan City, having such a guide wasn't bad.

"Then tell me about the forces in this Fengyuan City!"

"Fengyuan City was established several millennia ago. The largest power within the city belongs to the Profound Cloud Sect, Qingyu Sect, and the Song Family!"

"These three collectively control the entire Immortal City. In addition, there are large commerce alliances like the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and the Hundred Pleasures Tower!"

"Each one holds all sorts of exotic treasures. If senior wishes to purchase Magical Artifacts, going to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion is surely the right move,"

"Rumor has it that this Hundred Treasures Pavilion has branches in several cultivation countries!"

"Besides that, there's the Spirit Beast Institute selling spirit beasts, and the Hundred Skills Institute selling puppets. For gourmet food, you could go to Yuelai Inn..."

"Oh, they sell puppets here?" Zhou Xun exclaimed.

Although he had acquired that Puppetry Technique legacy, he had no time to refine them himself, so he only had the nine puppets he had seized.

Purchasing a few to take back wouldn't be a bad option.

Then the girl introduced all major powers and shops in Fengyuan City as if counting her family belongings.

"Oh, and if the senior wants to wander around, there's West Plaza for ordinary cultivators to set up stalls, and it's very lively inside!"

The girl spoke with an expression of sheer enthusiasm.

"You are so young, why did you take up this Hyacinth work?" Zhou Xun casually asked.

"To stay in Fengyuan City, one needs to pay a Spirit Stone annually. If I don't work, Siyue will be driven out!"

The girl replied calmly, without a trace of dejection in her tone.

"What about your parents?"

"They... they are no longer around!" At this point, the girl finally lowered her head, her tone carrying a hint of sadness.

"Then take me to the Hundred Pleasures Tower!"

Having heard the girl's introduction, the Hundred Pleasures Tower was among the top comprehensive shops in Fengyuan City, and handling that batch of treasures Zhou Xun had wouldn't be a problem.

"Alright, senior, follow me!"

After a short while, the two arrived in front of a towering five-story building spanning a hundred zhang in area.

"Senior, here it is!" The girl pointed at the plaque above.

The eaves of the building were exquisitely decorated, with a plaque in the middle inscribed with the three large characters "Hundred Pleasures Tower".

The girl spoke, craning her neck to peer inside, her face filled with longing.

"Let's go in!" Zhou Xun said.

"Senior, the items inside the Hundred Pleasures Tower are all premium treasures, only serving cultivators at or above the Late-Stage Qi Refining! Siyue's cultivation is too low to enter!"

"Just come with me!" Zhou Xun said softly, then walked in with his hands behind his back.

The girl hesitated for a moment but quickly followed.

Upon stepping into the hall, a young servant in a blue robe came forward, respectfully bowing.

"Greetings to the senior. May I ask what treasures you wish to purchase?"

Zhou Xun glanced around. The first floor only held Qi Cultivation Stage treasures, which didn't interest him.

"Golden Meteorite Sand, Dragon's Roar Crystal..."

Zhou Xun mentioned a few Treasures of Heaven and Earth he needed for the fifth layer of the Hundred Veins Body Refining Technique.

Hearing these names, the servant's face changed dramatically, immediately realizing the person before him must be a senior with profound cultivation.

So he respectfully bowed again:

"These treasures are too precious for me to handle, please proceed to the private room, and our shopkeeper will personally attend to you later!"

Zhou Xun nodded, gestured to Wenn Siyue beside him, and instructed the servant:

"She is with me, please take care of her!"

Then turned to the girl, saying:

"Since we have crossed paths, it's fate. You can pick one item from the treasures on the first floor!"

"Rest assured, senior, this young lady will be personally attended to by me!"

After that, Zhou Xun was led to an elegant room on the second floor by another servant.

On hearing these words, the girl was overjoyed, eyes sparkling, and followed the servant, looking around delightedly.

"Let me see this one!"

"This one..."

...

Shortly upon entering the private room, an elderly man with white-hair dressed in luxurious attire came in, his cultivation at Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment.

The elder, upon stepping through the door and taking a look at Zhou Xun, his expression changed abruptly, and then switched to one of respect:

"Junior Huang Yu, humbly the shopkeeper of the Hundred Pleasures Tower, greets the senior. Your distinguished presence here is most humbling, please forgive us for not welcoming you from afar!"

He said, cupping his hands and bowing deeply.

Zhou Xun waved his hand:

"No need for formalities, shopkeeper. I am here to discuss a business matter with you!"

"Please enlighten me, senior!" the elder replied cautiously.

"Do you accept purchases of Magical Artifacts, Talismans, and Demon Beasts here?"

"Of course we do. May I know how much the senior has?" The elder sighed in relief at this.

Zhou Xun waved his hand, and streaks of Spirit Light flew from his waist, transforming into treasures that landed on the ground.

They piled into a heap.

"All these are!"

Seeing the heap of treasures like a small hill in front of him, the elder's eyes widened.

"Th-this many!"

Then, he began counting them one by one.

Almost a hundred Magical Artifacts, with over a dozen Top-Grade ones alone,

In addition, there were a large number of Demon Beast materials, various Talismans ranging from Tier One Middle-Grade to Tier Two Low-Grade, all in abundance.

With so many treasures, even the shopkeeper of the Hundred Pleasures Pavilion couldn't help but gasp.
