Gong Renju, this old thing, is dishonest. Li Yunjing didn’t want to deal with him anymore.
In "Red Sun Market", with so many shops, there’s no need to spend money in just one. It’s entirely possible to visit a few more.
With a determined look, Li Yunjing left the grocery store while Gong Renju watched him leave with a reluctant gaze.
However, what Li Yunjing didn’t know was that as soon as he left, three cultivators sneakily entered the store.
Gong Renju looked around at the door, then closed it and hung up a "Closed" sign.
Li Yunjing walked on the street and visited a few more shops.
The magical artifacts, elixirs, and talismans in these shops were all slightly more expensive than those in the sect.
And there was nothing suitable for him to use.
Li Yunjing didn’t buy anything but sold the middle-grade spiritual artifacts of Senior Brother Han and others.
One item per shop, so it wouldn’t attract much attention.
In this way, all the stolen goods on Li Yunjing were sold, leaving no hidden dangers.
After finishing the cleanup, Li Yunjing let out a long sigh of relief and then began to check his assets and sect tasks.

[Miscellaneous: Three pieces of Refined Copper, Five pieces of Refined Iron, Red Sun Giant Snake Teeth, Poison Sac, Snake Gall, a set of Scales, a section of Spine, 100 pounds of Spirit Rice]
This was almost all of Li Yunjing’s wealth.
Seeing he had accumulated such wealth, Li Yunjing couldn’t help but smile happily.
Other than those from prominent clans or sects, no one could amass such wealth at the Qi Cultivation Realm Third Layer.
Li Yunjing wandered in the market all day, and many shops didn’t have better magical artifacts than his!
Now, Li Yunjing felt incredibly content.
As night fell, he decided to find a place to stay.
There were two or three inns in the market.
But Li Yunjing didn’t choose to stay, as the cost of one spirit stone pained him.
The accommodations provided weren’t different from the inns for mortals!
Only the type of guests varied!
This made Li Yunjing feel like a fool about to be ripped off.
He wasn’t going to spend spirit stones just for one night’s sleep!
Such behavior was too extravagant.
Compared to the bustling dayti, with people everywhere, many stalls and shops closed at night.
There were significantly fewer people on the streets.
Only in the central square were so cultivators sitting cross-legged, ditating with their eyes closed.
It seed like they planned to spend the night this way.
There were quite a few of these people.
Li Yunjing roughly estimated there were about a hundred people.
It seed these loose cultivators also didn’t want to spend one spirit stone for a night’s rest.
Li Yunjing sighed lightly; the lower levels of the Immortal Cultivation Realm were truly harsh!
Eminent cultivators sleeping on the streets—if soone had told him before he entered this field, Li Yunjing would never have believed it.
The weakest cultivator still had great power compared to mortals.
If they joined the secular world, they could at least be a general in the Great Ming Dynasty, ensuring a lifeti of glory and wealth.
But entering this field makes one realize how fleeting power and wealth are when compared to the pursuit of longevity.
Any cultivator with the slightest ambition wouldn’t serve a mortal kingdom for re gold and silver.
Eternal life, living a near-endless existence, is the goal pursued by generation after generation of cultivators!
After making a round, Li Yunjing arrived at a building he saw during the day—"Smoke Rain Tower."
At this ti, "Smoke Rain Tower" was entirely different from the dayti quietness.
Red lanterns hung outside, creating a very ambiguous atmosphere.
Loud noises ca from inside, with musical sounds and won’s laughter mingling with n’s boisterous laughs, reaching the street.
It seed they wanted to make sure everyone outside heard the liveliness inside.
At the entrance, a few brothel keepers warmly welcod guests, ushering them inside.
A romantic spot for cultivators?
"This place seems good! I’ll stay here for the night!"
Finding an appropriate place, Li Yunjing curiously walked to the entrance.
"Welco, sir!"
A brothel keeper greeted him with a smile.
"Uh-huh! Arrange a room for and serve a top-class al."
Li Yunjing casually instructed.
"Alright! This way please, sir!"
The brothel keeper’s smile widened, recognizing that this immortal was well-off, unlike those miserable ones sleeping out in the square.
"Smoke Rain Tower" was a three-story building.
The ground floor was a large hall with dozens of tables, most of which were occupied.
Each person had a female companion, and most of the laughter ca from the ground floor.
At the front of the ground floor was a stage where musicians played, and several won danced gracefully, occasionally revealing parts that made the audience howl.
Li Yunjing casually glanced and lost interest seeing they were all mortal won.
Cultivators and mortals weren’t entirely separate, with many connections during the Qi Cultivation Realm.
Li Yunjing had anticipated such a scene.
But focusing on his cultivation, he didn’t want to involve himself with mortals or have any interaction.
Slightly shaking his head, he followed the brothel keeper to the second floor.
The second floor was relatively better, with individual private rooms.
Li Yunjing glanced around and saw there were about a dozen rooms.
"Do you have a better room? I need a quiet place to rest later tonight."
Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow and asked the brothel keeper.
"Yes, there’s a separate courtyard in the back, but the rent for one day is high..."
The brothel keeper doubted Li Yunjing would want to spend that much money.
