Mystic Spirit Town may be just a town, but its scale is hardly inferior to that of some large cities within the Fengyun Nation.
The proximity of Mystic Spirit Town to the Mysterious Spirit Mountain Range has attracted numerous Adventure Teams, resulting in a market economy that thrives more than in some cities of Fengyun Nation.
The reason so many Adventure Teams choose to settle in Mystic Spirit Town is due to the allure of the Mysterious Spirit Mountain Range.
It is well-known that the Mysterious Spirit Mountain Range is a dangerous place within the Fengyun Nation. Its reputation for peril may not rival that of the Eternal Night Forbidden Zone, but it is certainly not far behind.
Within the Mysterious Spirit Mountain Range, Mystic Beasts roam freely. While most are merely First-Level Beasts, there are also some Second-Level Mystic Beasts. Especially deep within the range, there are even third-level Mystic Beasts, adding to the region's treacherous nature.
The fur, bones, and especially the essence condensed into Mystic Pills from Mystic Beasts can fetch high prices in the market.
Thus, even though it is known that the Mysterious Spirit Mountain Range is a dangerous area, countless Adventure Teams still flock towards it like moths to a flame.
After all, if they happen to strike lucky and slay a high-level Mystic Beast, obtaining its Mystic Pill, they could exchange it for valuable elixirs or martial arts in the market. At that point, the strength of that Adventure Team would undoubtedly see a significant boost.
This is fundamentally why Mystic Spirit Town has a large population and a thriving economy.
At this moment, on the streets of Mystic Spirit Town, two figures walk side by side. Upon closer inspection, they are Aotian and Xiao Ya.
Nearly two months have passed since the last Aotian Family Annual Meeting.
During these two months, Aotian has consumed the Great Recovery Pill, and with the aid of numerous Mysterious Origin Stones and the devouring power of the Heaven Devouring Seal, he has successfully broken through to the Innate Second Layer.
This breakthrough has significantly increased Aotian's strength once again.
Not long after breaking through to the Innate Second Layer, Aotian took Xiao Ya along to explore the Mysterious Ruins within the Mysterious Spirit Mountain Range.
After traveling tirelessly day and night, today, Aotian and Xiao Ya finally arrived at Mystic Spirit Town.
"By the way, Uncle Xiaoya, why didn't you bring Senior Tan and the others this time?" Aotian asked as he walked.
"The Desolate City is a place where all sorts of people gather, and the Wolf Fang Adventure Team's base is located there. So, I left Old Tan to guard the Wolf Fang Adventure Team to prevent our old hideout from being raided while we're out. As for the other members, I didn't bring them along due to their insufficient strength; I didn't want them to sacrifice themselves for nothing," Xiao Ya replied with a smile.
After hearing this, Aotian couldn't help but admire him inwardly. Truly an old hand; he sees things much more clearly than a rookie like me...
"Aotian, there's a trading area to the west of Mystic Spirit Town. Let's go check it out; we could buy some healing pills. After all, once we enter the Mysterious Spirit Mountain Range, we could get injured at any moment." Suddenly, Xiao Ya stopped in his tracks and said to Aotian.
Aotian nodded slightly and then headed with Xiao Ya toward the trading area in the west of Mystic Spirit Town.
Many Adventure Teams that find good items in the Mysterious Spirit Mountain Range often take them to the trading area to sell. Although those items could fetch better prices at large auctions, those auctions come with numerous handling fees, and after all the deductions, there's not much profit left.
In the trading area, as long as buyers can offer what sellers require, exchanges can be made, which leads to a flourishing market.
Pills, magical artifacts, and martial arts techniques are common sights here, and there are even many strange items, resulting in a bustling trading area every day.
Aotian and Xiao Ya walked along a wide stone-paved road. Numerous stalls lined both sides of the road, where some martial artists were shouting:
"Low-grade martial art—Mantis Fist—only needs two thousand Mysterious Origin Stones for exchange!"
"High-quality ordinary weapon—Iron Cloud Sword—made from Iron Cloud Beast scales; it cuts through iron like mud! Only ten thousand Mysterious Origin Stones for exchange!"
"Healing Holy Pill, Recovery Pill—one can heal all your injuries! Come buy now..."
At that moment, Aotian and Xiao Ya stopped in front of a stall. Xiao Ya pointed at two jade bottles and asked, "Boss, how many Mysterious Origin Stones for one Restoration Pill?"
The boss, dressed in a red robe and with a plump face, smiled and replied:
"Big Brother has really good eyesight. These two jade bottles contain Restoration Pill, about twenty of them, each costing one hundred and two Mysterious Origin Stones, totaling two thousand and forty Mysterious Origin Stones. However, since I see that we have a connection, I'll sell them to you for two thousand Mysterious Origin Stones."
Aotian felt a surge of joy in his heart; this fat man knew how to do business. First, he raised the price a bit, then cut it down at the end, making it hard for the buyer to haggle, after all, he was already selling it at a discount.
Xiao Ya shook her head with a bitter smile and then handed Fat Boss two thousand Mysterious Origin Stones, buying the two bottles of Restoration Pill and generously giving Aotian one bottle.
Aotian did not refuse this offer. The Mysterious Spirit Mountain Range was fraught with danger; no one could guarantee what they would encounter. The Restoration Pill could heal his injuries in the shortest time possible, so Aotian naturally accepted it.
After purchasing the Restoration Pill, Aotian and Xiao Ya continued walking towards the end of Azure Stone Avenue. Suddenly, Aotian paused, his gaze fixed in surprise on a Black Iron Plate at a stall.
The Black Iron Plate was about the size of a palm, with mysterious runes etched around its edges. The runes seemed to have faded over time and looked no different from an ordinary iron plate upon closer inspection.
However, this unremarkable iron plate caused a slight tremor in the soul within Aotian's Second Brain Sea.
Could it be that this iron plate is related to the Soul Practitioner?
Aotian slowly walked up to the stall and pointed at the Black Iron Plate, asking, "Boss, do you know what this is?"
The stall owner was a gaunt middle-aged man. He glanced at Aotian, shook his head, and said, "I don't know. I found this iron plate a few days ago in the Mysterious Spirit Mountain Range. If you want it, I'll sell it to you for ten thousand Mysterious Origin Stones..."
"What the hell! Are you taking advantage of the fact that Aotian just started out? This piece of junk iron plate can be found everywhere in my house; how dare you sell it for ten thousand Mysterious Origin Stones?!" Xiao Ya immediately shouted angrily from the side.
The stall owner replied nonchalantly, "If you don't want it, then leave. Don't disturb me while I'm doing business."
"Let's go, Aotian, this is just too much..."
After hearing the stall owner's words, Xiao Ya wanted to pull Aotian away.
"Uncle Xiaoya, I feel that this iron piece is extremely useful to me, so I must buy it!"
Aotian said firmly.
"Sigh, you! Fine, just consider it a lesson learned for spending ten thousand Mysterious Origin Stones!"
Xiao Ya, who initially wanted to persuade Aotian to give up, realized after seeing Aotian's determined expression that it was futile. He understood that once this young man made up his mind, even the Nine-headed Bull couldn't change it.
Aotian smiled slightly, and just as he was about to take out ten thousand Mysterious Origin Stones, a voice suddenly interrupted him, causing Aotian's previously bright expression to darken instantly:
"Heh heh, this little iron piece, I'll take it..."
