The room was clear after the rain, and a faint fragrance filled the air.
Xiao Xiyue’s black hair was disheveled, her forehead nestled in Lu Changsheng’s arms, whispering sweet nothings.
Lu Changsheng held her tenderly, his palm lightly lifting to take out a mory stone from his storage bag.
It contained recordings of their daughter Lu Wangshu’s everyday life.
Knowing Xiao Xiyue would miss their daughter, he had prepared for this in advance.
Xiao Xiyue watched the small monts of her daughter in the mory stone, who could already call out for her parents, prompting waves of longing to see her child.
"Xi Yue, if you miss Wangshu, you can go to Red Leaf Valley Market to find Miaoge and have her bring Wangshu over.”
"I have already discussed our matters with her.”
Lu Changsheng said tenderly, caressing her soft and smooth skin.
"Hmm~”
Xiao Xiyue acknowledged softly, with a light hum.
Having spent nearly a year in Green River Marketplace, she could make ti to visit her daughter.
"By the way, Changsheng, the journey to Jiuxiao Immortal City from here is long, and even if you hurry, it will take four to five months.”
"There is a spiritual vessel from Qingyun Market that goes to the Three Great Immortal Cities once a year.”
"I rember there’s one heading to Jiuxiao Immortal City next month; you could take that vessel. It’s not only convenient but also much faster.”
That’s when Xiao Xiyue spoke softly, lifting her beautiful head.
"Oh, a spiritual vessel?”
Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows raised at that.
He knew that many businesses in the Spiritual Boat Pavilion did this, traveling between various marketplaces and Immortal Cities to make money from passage fares.
But those were all dium and small-sized spirit boats.
In his view, taking such boats was less convenient than piloting one himself.
Now, hearing Xiao Xiyue’s words about a huge spiritual vessel specifically bound for Jiuxiao Immortal City, he beca quite interested.
"That’s correct, this huge spiritual vessel from Qingyun Market to Jiuxiao Immortal City only takes three months.”
"Not only is there a False Core Immortal overseeing it, but there are also private rooms, so you, Changsheng, can cultivate and make talismans in peace.”
Xiao Xiyue said with a soft laugh.
Her eyes and brows exuded a captivating charm that only Lu Changsheng was privileged to see.
"Such a spiritual vessel must not be available to just anyone, right?”
Lu Changsheng spoke out.
"You need to purchase a ticket, but if you need it, Changsheng, I can secure one for you.”
Xiao Xiyue spoke softly.
As the Record Chief in Green River Marketplace and holding so influence within the sect, she could secure a ticket.
"Since that’s the case, then I’ll trouble you to do so, Xi Yue.”
Lu Changsheng did not refuse, accepting the offer right away.
Setting aside other factors, the fact that the huge spiritual vessel only took three months and provided private rooms to comfortably make talismans made it very appealing to him.
If he were to pilot a spirit boat himself, not only would it waste ti, but he might also encounter troubles that would prevent him from focusing on cultivation and other tasks.
Three days later, Xiao Xiyue handed Lu Changsheng a green-jade token with cloud patterns etched into it.
She told him that Qingyun Sect’s giant spiritual vessel would depart in twenty-four days.
Once in Qingyun Market, he could board the spiritual vessel to Jiuxiao Immortal City by showing this jade token.
To find out how to board, he simply had to ask one of Qingyun Sect’s reception disciples with the token in hand.
The trip from Green River Marketplace to Qingyun Market would take nearly half a month as well.
So, after spending three days with Xiao Xiyue, Lu Changsheng set out for Qingyun Market.
In order to avoid trouble on the way and to board the spiritual vessel easily, he used the Misty Sky Bead to suppress his magic aura to the level of a mid-stage Foundation Establishnt.
…
Half a month later.
Lu Changsheng safely arrived at Qingyun Market.
Looking at the marketplace before him, he was reminded of six years ago when he and Xiao Xiyue had broken through to Foundation Establishnt here.
And when they had slain a grandson of a False Core Immortal.
While registering his identity, Lu Changsheng presented the jade token and inquired about the giant spiritual vessel.
The Qingyun Sect disciple, upon seeing the token, imdiately told Lu Changsheng that the spiritual vessel would be landing at the north gate of the marketplace in three days.
Lu Changsheng should go there early to wait, and soone would make the necessary arrangents.
After understanding the general situation, Lu Changsheng began to stroll around Qingyun Market.
This trip was mainly for purchasing.
As a major marketplace second only to the Immortal Cities, Qingyun Market naturally had many materials for sale.
After two days of busy shopping, he road the marketplace thoroughly and indeed found so treasures.
He had not only bought many second-rank materials for Talisman Making and rare dicinal herbs, but he had also acquired the spirit blood of a demon beast called ‘Jade Sun Deer.’
This spirit blood had mild properties and could be used in dicine making.
It was more than suitable for awakening Lu Wangshu’s Blood Talisman Spiritual Body.
The only downside was that there was too little of the spirit blood.
The store sold it in portions rather than in full gourds.
"My spending is like water flowing; I guess I’ll have to sell so spirit talismans and elixir dicines on this trip to Jiuxiao Immortal City.”
"Otherwise, the remaining spirit stones may not be enough for to forge the Ninety-Nine Mysterious True Strategy and purchase a large number of third-rank Talisman Making materials.”
In two days, Lu Changsheng had spent over twenty thousand spirit stones.
It made him lant that money indeed flowed like water.
This was also because his second-rank talismans were selling well at ‘Peace Talisman Hall,’ which brought in a profit of nearly three thousand spirit stones a month.
Otherwise, no Foundation Establishnt Cultivator could afford such spending.
Like the ti at Nine Dragons Market, the steward from Myriad Treasures Pavilion who tried to rob him had only over three thousand spirit stones in his storage bag.
All his possessions combined were worth just a little over twenty thousand spirit stones.
Yet, Lu Changsheng’s expenses during this period amounted to over thirty thousand spirit stones.
Despite this, he still had over forty thousand spirit stones left.
Moreover, he had many precious materials and spiritual artifacts that were not easy to sell.
If he were to liquidate everything, he could instantly exchange them for seventy or eighty thousand spirit stones.
