Leaving Azure Owl City, Xu Feng flew west for two hours and arrived at Xibai City.
After passing through Qingyang City, Xu Feng now viewed Xibai City as no different from a village. Xibai City was truly underwhelming; its existence was solely due to its unique geographical location, serving as an entrance to the west of Zheguo.
Shenxing Sect had opened a branch at this junction.
Xu Feng used the teleportation point of Shenxing Sect to travel from Liuxiang Kingdom to Zheguo. Upon entering Xibai City, he quickly located Shenxing Sect.
There was a teleportation point every five hundred thousand miles, and business was quite good. When Xu Feng arrived, he didn't see many people, but today it was bustling with activity.
After stating his purpose, Xu Feng was led into a courtyard that was different from the one he entered. The western branch of Shenxing Sect had two Teleportation Arrays. The Teleportation Array had changed, but the personnel remained the same—those two officials who had embezzled public funds, Zhang Wuliao and Zhang Wu.
Teleportation was conducted in batches based on destination, allowing five people to be sent at once.
"Where to?" Zhang Wuliao recognized Xu Feng but pretended not to know him.
"Consort Zhu Lin."
Zhang Wuliao flipped through a notebook in his hand and said, "There is no direct route to Consort Zhu Lin; the closest is Longmen Town. You can figure it out from there." Zhang Wuliao was eager for Xu Feng to leave quickly to avoid any slip-ups.
"Alright, how much?"
"One thousand." The cost of sending was double that of receiving.
Xu Feng paid the spirit stones and waited aside.
There weren't many people going to Longmen Town today; after waiting for an hour, only two individuals arrived—one was a businessman who appeared to be a Late Golden Core Cultivator, and the other was a proud-faced white-skinned Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator.
Shenxing Sect's rule was that each teleportation could only occur once per person, aiming to gather five individuals whenever possible.
"There are ghosts in Xu Fengxin, fearing that the people from Xiaoyao Sect will get the news and come over," he said, "This friend, I have something urgent to attend to. I wonder if I could go ahead? I'll add two thousand spirit stones to cover two more people."
Zhang Wuliao was eager for this opportunity and immediately agreed.
One thousand spirit stones were not much, but Xu Feng threw out two thousand spirit stones just to save some time. This surprised the two companions a bit; while they were surprised, it was always good to catch a ride. The Golden Core Cultivator nodded at Xu Feng, indicating he benefited from it, while the Yuan Ying Cultivator ignored him, as if it were a matter of course. After all, who could argue with a senior?
The three were taken into the Teleportation Array ahead of schedule. Zhang Wuliao set the destination for the teleportation, and with a flash of white light in the array, the three were sent away.
Longmen Town was a town that Xu Feng knew from the map. Longmen Town was just one of the dozens of towns under Xianxia City's jurisdiction. Xianxia City was located directly north of Zheguo and was considered a famous city in the north, covering an area equivalent to that of Azure Owl City and Qingyang City combined.
Longmen Town was west of Xianxia City, while Consort Zhu Lin was in the east of the city, with a distance of two hundred thousand miles between them.
After exiting Shenxing Sect, the accompanying Golden Core Cultivator approached to chat. "Friend, I really owe you one for this. Honestly, I also want to get to Longmen Town quickly, but my travel expenses are reimbursed; I can only pay one thousand. Anything more has to come out of my own pocket." The other pale-faced Yuan Ying Cultivator walked off on his own.
Xu Feng asked, "Alright, may I know your name?"
"My name is Tao Bao," Tao Bao introduced himself. "I am a steward at Wujue Pavilion in Azure Owl City. If you need to buy or sell magic treasures, you can find me at Wujue Pavilion in Xianxia City."
So he was from Wujue Pavilion in Azure Owl City. Xu Feng had purchased both his Blazing Blade and Ultraman there. However, Tao Bao had never met Xu Feng before.
"That's quite a coincidence! I do need to find a few magic treasures; why don't we go together and check out your Wujue Pavilion?" Xu Feng thought it would be good to have someone familiar show him around since he was new here.
Tao Bao was from a business background and often interacted with various people. His approach to Xu Feng was merely out of professional habit; he didn't expect to unexpectedly gain a customer. He happily said, "That sounds great! Your visit is an honor for Wujue Pavilion. By the way, I haven't asked for your esteemed surname."
"My name is Xu Feng."
"Ah! So it's Daoist Xu Feng! A pleasure to meet you."
The two of them left Longmen Town together and found a Spirit Beast Car outside the city, heading towards the center of Xianxia City.
The Spirit Beast Car is a mode of transportation for cultivators in Zheguo, similar to the Spirit Beast Manor in Liuxiang Kingdom. The difference is that the Spirit Beast Cars in Xianxia City are more advanced; the ground-running beasts have become outdated and have been replaced entirely by flying spirit beasts. These spirit beasts are beautifully adorned, with impressive males and stunning females, making for a pleasing sight.
The seating is no longer just a simple bench; instead, it has been transformed into a cabin attached to the spirit beast, resembling a moving private room where guests can eat, drink, and relax inside. The flying height of the spirit beasts is controlled to remain below five hundred meters, ensuring that even in case of an accident, cultivators would not be in danger due to their abilities.
With Tao Bao as a familiar guide, they avoided many troubles along the way. The journey from Longmen Town to Xianxia City cost only ten spirit stones, and thanks to the wings of a seventh-level spirit beast, they arrived in less than three hours. The sky was often filled with passing Spirit Beast Cars, which are as common as buses in Xianxia City.
The urban area of Xianxia City was not as grand as expected; its size was comparable to Qingyang City, but its environmental management and building decorations were of a higher standard. Among the pedestrians in the city, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were everywhere, and even the lowest-ranking patrol officers had at least reached the Late Stage of Golden Core.
Xu Feng felt small for the first time. Despite his formidable reputation in Liuxiang Kingdom, he realized he might struggle to find a decent job here.
Tao Bao was a manager from Azure Owl City who frequently traveled to Xianxia City for work, so he was somewhat familiar with it. Knowing that it was Xu Feng's first visit to Xianxia City, he walked along while introducing Xu Feng to the local customs and culture, not forgetting to mention their Wujue Pavilion's magical treasures.
The cultivation supplies in Xianxia City were more specialized compared to those in Qingyang City. Many shops with slightly lower capabilities focused on one specific type of item within the five elemental treasures, which highlighted their specialties without requiring excessive capital investment.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at Wujue Pavilion. The architectural style of the building was similar to that of Azure Owl City but larger and with a more comprehensive range of products.
Tao Bao greeted one of the staff members inside and said, "Zhen Tao, this is my friend who wants to find some magical treasures; please take care of him."
Zhen Tao smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Manager Tao. I will do my best to assist every customer."
Tao Bao returned to Xu Feng's side and said, "Xu Daoyou, take your time looking around. I have some matters to attend to at the accounts office and won't be accompanying you. Since you are with me, the store will give you a ten percent discount."
"Thank you!" Xu Feng replied with a smile. Who knows how this discount would be calculated? Businesspeople always need to make a profit.
The store was quite busy with many customers. With Tao Bao's special instructions, Zhen Tao indeed stepped forward to focus on attending to Xu Feng. However, Xu Feng did not want him following too closely; it would draw too much attention.
Xu Feng said, "Listen, Tao Bao, does your shop also handle the repair of magical artifacts?"
Zhu Tao replied, "Yes, we have professional artifact refiners who can repair artifacts of all levels."
Xu Feng took out the Azure Dragon Whip, which he had stored in a storage bag, and handed it to Zhen Tao, saying, "Please help me repair this artifact."
The Superior Magical Artifact Azure Dragon Whip was given to Hua Qian Zhi by Hua Fengxiao, and Xu Feng had taken it from Hua Qian Zhi. During the battle at Wuhua Island, Xu Feng used the Five Element Needle Technique, Ice Spider Web, and Fire Dragon Whip simultaneously to trap the Azure Dragon Whip. In the end, the Five Element Needle Technique severely damaged it. Since then, the Azure Dragon Whip had lost its spiritual essence and could no longer be used. Xu Feng had been looking for a place to repair it.
Zhen Tao opened it up and said, "This is indeed a good artifact; however, it is severely damaged and will take some time to repair. If you are not in a hurry, you can come back in ten days to pick it up."
"Alright, you take your time with the repairs. I'll look around," Xu Feng said as he dismissed Zhen Tao and began to examine the magical artifacts in Wujue Pavilion.
Like Azure Owl City, Wujue Pavilion was also divided into three floors but was more than three times larger. Various magical artifacts were categorized into five types based on their attributes, with nearly a hundred samples in each category. What surprised Xu Feng even more was that while the Superior Magical Artifacts were only partially displayed in Azure Owl City, here they were directly placed on the counter on the first floor.
That meant the second floor would at least contain Supreme Treasures; as for the third floor...
Xu Feng had now advanced his Water element cultivation to the Late Stage of Golden Core and had equipped himself with three corresponding high-quality Treasure Blades. If all went well with refining Sun Changshou and Huo Yin Yue's items, both Gold and Earth elements would also advance. Huo Yin Yue's high-quality flying knife was good, but like Xiao Hun's Wuji Guangdao, it could not be used publicly.
He decided to sell Wuji Guangdao and buy one artifact each for the Gold and Earth elements.
After walking around, Zhen Tao returned just in time. "Don't worry; your artifact is already being repaired. It will definitely be ready in ten days."
"Okay," Xu Feng then took out another storage bag containing Wuji Guangdao. "I want to sell this artifact; can you tell me its price?"
Zhen Tao took a look and exclaimed. Another Superior Magical Artifact! It was quite rare for a Golden Core Stage Cultivator to produce two Superior Magical Artifacts. Zhen Tao concluded that this fellow must be either very wealthy or of high status—perhaps a Young Master from some sect.
Zhen Tao straightforwardly said, "I'll offer you half price."
Half price is almost the limit for all dealers, and some unscrupulous ones even push it down to thirty percent. After all, many of the recovered treasures have dubious origins, and the store also has to spend time handling modifications, which counts as a cost. Some people skip the modifications altogether and directly sell them on the black market.
Just out, Zhen Tao hurriedly ran back holding Wuji Guangdao. After a while, he returned with a bag of spirit stones, containing three hundred thousand spirit stones, which was the selling price of Wuji Guangdao.
Xu Feng accepted the spirit stones and walked away, while Zhen Tao wisely did not follow.
Next, he bought a high-quality Treasure Blade from both Jinxi and Earth Element counters. The one from Jinxi was called Duan Yu Dao, and the one from Earth Element was named Yan Wang Zhan. Additionally, to enhance his defense, he specifically purchased a Superior Magical Artifact from Earth Element called Blackstone Shield.
With three major items in hand, each with different attributes, the staff at Wujue Pavilion had already regarded him as a purchasing agent from another treasure shop.
Equipped with five elemental items, he called over Zhen Tao and requested to check out the second floor. Zhen Tao had already noticed Xu Feng's purchases and hurried over, respectfully leading Xu Feng upstairs. Having money makes a difference; the aura is strong, and the treatment is good.
Xu Feng bought three Superior Magical Artifacts in a row. If this were in Qingyang City, he would undoubtedly attract attention again, but here it only garnered a few curious glances—nothing serious—because there were many like him. Xu Feng saw no less than three people each buying four or five Superior Magical Artifacts.
The cultivation culture in Xianxia City is incredibly prosperous; Superior Magical Artifacts are sold on the first floor without any worries.
Xu Feng vaguely felt that following this trend, relying solely on Superior Magical Artifacts would no longer provide any advantage. He needed other trump cards; otherwise, death would not be far off. There are plenty of wealthy people around; anyone can buy treasures.
