Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Experience All Comes from Novels 1

Translator: 549690339

The aura emanating from Qian Bao was not strong, about the same as Ye Fan, around the first stage of Qi Cultivation.

However, Qian Bao hid it very well, and Ye Fan would not have noticed if he hadn't revealed it himself.

“I understand that you, Friend Ye, have many questions, let me explain.”

Only after hearing Qian Bao's description did Ye Fan come to understand how formidable the background of Duobao Pavilion was.

The Duobao Pavilion isn't just a commercial enterprise, it's also a cultivator's power base.

It's not just in the Kingdom of Dayu, but the entire North Domain across ten kingdoms where the Duobao Pavilion has influences.

According to Qian Bao's description, Ye Fan also gained a basic understanding of the world of cultivation.

Cultivators exist in every one of these ten kingdoms.

However, since cultivators require specific environments for cultivation, they seldom appear in the worldly realm.

Just like in the Kingdom of Dayu, there are actually many cultivation families.

But these cultivation families, most of them reside in spiritually abundant areas within large mountains.

“Ever since your Ye Family suddenly moved, I had this idea, and it seems now that I was right.”

Ye Fan thought he had been careful enough, but as it turns out, he was too careless.

But fortunately for now, it doesn't seem that Qian Bao has any ill intentions.

“Friend Ye, you won't be able to purchase these spirit herbs at the Wanlu County's Duobao Pavilion. However, 300 miles east of Wanlu County, there exists a marketplace where you may have a look.”

“However, the price of spirit herbs isn't low, these spirit herbs would roughly cost half a spirit stone each.”

Through Qian Bao's words, Ye Fan finally obtained a general understanding of the Cultivation World.

Qian Bao also provided Ye Fan with a map to the marketplace.

A distance of over 200 miles, neither for cultivators nor martial artists of the Innate Realm, is considered far.

Within a day's time, Ye Fan arrived at Qingyun Market.

Upon reaching the destination, Ye Fan found that the surroundings were just some mountainous area, without any signs of a marketplace.

Could it be that the map Qian Bao provided was wrong, or did he come to the wrong place?

For a moment, Ye Fan was in doubt.

No, this marketplace is meant for cultivators, there must be some sort of method.

Ye Fan used his spiritual energy to survey his eyes, suddenly noticing an invisible formation connecting the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

With Ye Fan's knowledge of the first-grade formations, he swiftly realized that there was a concealment formation in this place.

This concealment formation was just to prevent mortals from accidentally entering the marketplace. It was incapable of impeding cultivators.

As Ye Fan passed through the barrier, the scene before his eyes changed drastically.

In front of Ye Fan, a town appeared.

The town was bustling with people, including both cultivators and martial artists.

The aura on many of the cultivators collectively imposed tremendous pressure on Ye Fan.

This place, was the Qingyun Market.

“Spiritual grass, 10-year-old Spiritual Grass, hurry, take a look.” “Low-grade magic artifacts, ten spirit stones each, selling at a discount.”

“Centuries-old cold iron, a perfect material for refining magic artifacts, if you need it, hurry.”

The alluring calls pulled Ye Fan back from his stupor.

This scene looks just like a marketplace for mortals.

Except the sellers, these sellers are none other than the immortals who seem so unattainable!

Ye Fan took a deep breath to calm his emotions before heading into the marketplace.

Soon, Ye Fan got a general understanding of the marketplace.

Along the outer ring of the marketplace, there were various street vendors.

In the interior ring, there are numerous shops.

“This friend here, it's your first time at Qingyun Market, would you like to buy a guidebook?”

An old man in his fifties or sixties, holding a book, pitched sales to Ye Fan.

“No Spirit Stones, don't need it!”

Ye Fan tightened his clothes, inside his pouch was most of Ye Family's assets that he brought this time, a total of fifty spirit stones.

Although the Ye Family has a Spirit Stone vein, it's too difficult to mine.

During this period, only a few Spirit Stones could be excavated.

“No Spirit Stones, silver tickets are also accepted, a hundred silver per book.”

Lower rank cultivators, who unable to fast, are also unwilling to pay for the fasting pills, so they require silver as well.

If payment was made in silver, Ye Fan could accept it. He promptly took out a hundred silver and exchanged it for a book.

Observations in Qingyun Market.

Qingyun Market belongs to a cultivator family around here—the Li Family.

The Li Family is a century-old cultivator family, rumored to have cultivators at the late stage of Qi Cultivation.

With their strength, the Li Family managed to seize control over such a lucrative marketplace.

It must be understood that whether it's setting up a stall or opening a shop, you must pay a fee for it in the marketplace.

Every month, the Li Family earns thousands of Spirit Stones just from this one marketplace.

There are also some shops in the marketplace that are owned by the Li Family.

Spirit herbs, spirit materials, magic artifacts and the like, are all available for purchase.

Although Ye Fan could distinguish between spirit herbs and spirit material, to avoid trouble, he headed straight to a shop owned by the Li Family deep in the marketplace.

“I would like to buy a few cultivation techniques.”

Usually, out of the various attributes a cultivator has, they choose to major in one while the rest either play auxiliary roles or are neglected.

A cultivator at the Qi Refinement Stage has a limited lifespan. If they do not break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, they can only live up to a hundred and thirty or forty years at most.

If all attributes were to be cultivated unless one has an extremely high aptitude, they will not have the opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Hence there's no point in cultivating immortality either.

Shortly after, the servant in the shop brought over a catalogue.

Qingmu Technique, can be cultivated to a maximum of the fourth stage of Qi Cultivation, worth ten spirit stones.

Earth Origin Canon, can be cultivated to a maximum of the third stage of Qi Cultivation, worth eight spirit stones.

One after another, all cultivation techniques were of a low grade. Whether it was for combat or cultivation speed, none had any distinctive features.

But these were the only cultivation techniques that Ye Fan could afford.

Originally he thought that the fifty Spirit Stones were not few, but now it seemed like he was totally broke.

Ye Fan had also just found out that the Spirit Stones mined from his vein were low-grade spirit stones, which is the lowest denomination.

The only thing that surprised Ye Fan was that the Spirit Stones he had varied in size. When he tallied them up, surprisingly there were not fifty stones but sixty-two in total.

Four Cultivation Techniques, one low-grade Flame Control Technique, ten portions of materials for Qi Cultivation Pills, Ye Fan was left with two Spirit

Stones.

“Fellow cultivator, wouldn't you like to get a storage bag? It can hold a space of one cubic meter and only costs a hundred Spirit Stones.”

Ye Fan fled in panic, he couldn't afford it, he truly couldn't afford it.

He left the marketplace, heading straight home. He had just gone a few miles when Ye Fan suddenly halted.

“Come out!”

Ye Fan spoke faintly towards his back.

Two cultivators at the second stage of Qi Cultivation behind him were bemused.

What situation was this? A person at the first stage of Qi Cultivation had actually detected them; could it be that he was pretending to be weak to entice the tiger?

But since they had been discovered, the two had no choice but to come out.

Ye Fan was also baffled, he did not expect that there really were people.

He just used what he had learned from reading novels, having just revealed his wealth he should expect robbers to appear.

That statement just now, he only wanted to scare them off.

He didn't think there really were people.

Not knowing the physical strength of the robbers, Ye Fan was somewhat nervous.

The two cultivators, out of fear that Ye Fan was pretending to be weak, were also somewhat nervous!

For a moment, both parties stood staring at each other!
