Chapter 205
When in the Endless Sea of Sand, every time Meng Zhang came across a market, he would go to the ghost market to see if there were any opportunities to pick up some bargains. At first, in small places like Singing Sand City, he could still find some gains, but when he got to Firewell Market, the gains were not as great. Now that he had come to a prosperous commercial place like Great Wind City, he naturally wouldn't miss the ghost market.
There is also a ghost market in Great Wind City. In fact, this kind of thing was passed over from Jiuqu League. The ghost market in Great Wind City is large in scale, with many stalls. However, after wandering around for a night, Meng Zhang's gains were few. Meng Zhang's two major tools for picking up bargains were his Divine Ability, Deception Breaking Eye, and his own knowledge and experience.
Cultivation is more developed in Great Wind City, and although the Divine Ability, Deception Breaking Eye, which is rare in the Endless Sea of Sand, has not yet become commonplace here, it is definitely not considered rare. Of course, there are also differences in the quality of Divine Abilities, and Meng Zhang's Deception Breaking Eye is among the most advanced of all Divine Abilities.
However, even ordinary Divine Abilities on the stalls are enough to see through the details. As for knowledge and experience, what Meng Zhang knows can be shown off in front of the bumpkins in Singing Sand City, but in Great Wind City, where there are many experts, it is not really anything special.
After wandering around all night, Meng Zhang realized one thing: picking up bargains is really hard to come by. If Meng Zhang were a small Refining Qi period cultivator, he could still scavenge for some junk here. But now that he is already a Foundation Building period cultivator and a master of one door, there are plenty of ways to earn spirit stones, so there is really no need to waste time here.
After resting at the warehouse for a while, Meng Zhang took Yang Xueyi and Wen Qiansun and continued their shopping trip. In Great Wind City, Meng Zhang also discovered a Four Seas Building. The Four Seas Building belongs to the Four Seas Business League, a large commercial organization established by the famous cultivation clan You Family. Even in remote places in the Endless Sea of Sand, there are Four Seas Buildings.
The Four Seas Building in Firewell Market respects the orders of the Flying Swan Sect and does not engage in large-scale transactions with other sects such as Taiyi Sect. In Great Wind City, the Four Seas Building naturally does not need to pay attention to the Flying Swan Sect's ban. Meng Zhang took the two of them into the Four Seas Building, which gave people the feeling of a large supermarket in the Cultivation World. There are many goods, everything is available, and there are many high-quality items.
Shopping in the Four Seas Building is a one-stop-shop, so there is no need to wander around Great Wind City looking for different shops. Meng Zhang purchased some low-level spiritual objects for the disciples in his sect to practice some special techniques and secrets. For example, for the senior disciple Niu Dawei, who practices the "Wind and Thunder True Explanation," Meng Zhang purchased a piece of thunder strike wood. As for wind attribute spiritual objects, there is no need to purchase them since there are plenty of Xunfeng stones produced in Singing Sand Mountain.
Yang Xueyi was interested in a First Rank superior quality talisman pen and bought it with her own money. Yang Xueyi comes from the cultivation family Yang Family, and after the family was destroyed, she must have inherited a lot of family treasures. Moreover, as the Hall Master of the Taiyi Sect Talisman Hall and the manager of the Dining Hall, she has earned a lot of contribution points within the sect. All in all, she is a genuine little rich woman.Wen Qiansun bought what appeared to be an ordinary formation disk, and even with Meng Zhang's eye, he couldn't see anything unusual about it. However, Wen Qiansun was overjoyed, and Dawei was satisfied. After wandering through a bunch of shops, Meng Zhang took the two of them to the famous Wen Hua Building in Great Wind City.
The Wen Hua Building is a place that specializes in selling various spells, techniques, and cultivation classics. A wooden building over ten zhang high is located at the end of the street, and a sign with three gilded characters of "Wen Hua Building" is located at the top of the wooden building.
Meng Zhang entered the interior of the Wen Hua Building, and the first thing he did was to watch the various techniques inside. The techniques collected by the Wen Hua Building are indeed numerous, and the types are complete. Not only are there common five-element attribute constitutions, but there are also techniques for practicing rare constitutions such as wind attribute and ice attribute.
In addition to many low-end techniques, there are also many medium-level techniques, and even some superior techniques. As a Foundation Building sect's inheritance technique, it is more than enough. Even some Gold Core sects with shallow backgrounds may not have such a complete collection of techniques.
Of course, the prices of these techniques are definitely not cheap. Before purchasing a technique, a cultivator must make a heart demon oath to ensure that they abide by the promises made at the time of purchase. This kind of constraint is far less effective than Meng Zhang's soul book, but it is barely enough to restrict ordinary cultivators.
Each technique presented to the customer for review only has a name and a brief introduction. Firstly, Taiyi Sect's current inheritance techniques are enough, and secondly, Meng Zhang feels that the prices are too expensive, so he has no intention of buying any techniques.
In addition to selling cultivation techniques and various spells, the Wen Hua Building also sells books related to the hundred arts of cultivation. The prices of these books are also high. Fortunately, with the inheritance obtained from the Trial Ground, Meng Zhang doesn't have to waste money on them.
In addition, there are many Taoist classics for sale in the Wen Hua Building. Some were written by experts in the Cultivation World, while others were written by moralists among ordinary people. The content inside seems to have no direct relationship with cultivation, and they are all very abstract and mysterious Grand Dao theories. It seems that they are not very meaningful for cultivation.
However, Meng Zhang learned a secret from the Trial Ground that only circulates among the major sects and families. Studying Taoist classics and understanding the Taoist canon really has great benefits for cultivation. Especially as the cultivation realm gets higher, it is necessary to read more Taoist classics.
Why say it's really beneficial? Because this has always been a tradition in the Cultivation World. The elders of the sect or family often educate young disciples to read more Taoist classics, which will have many benefits. As for whether there are really any benefits, the elders who say these things probably don't even know themselves. The words they use to educate their disciples are the same words that their elders used to educate them.
In his previous life, Meng Zhang read a martial arts novel that had a passage like this. To practice a certain Buddhist martial art, one must also be well-versed in Buddhist scriptures. Otherwise, not only will it be impossible to practice the martial art to the highest level, but it will also harm oneself. In the cultivation process of this world, there are similar situations.
For example, if Meng Zhang practices Taoist techniques, he must be well-versed in Taoist classics and understand Taoist thoughts to master the essence of the techniques he practices. Of course, if one only stays in the Refining Qi period or Foundation Building period for their whole life, then there is no need for this. But if one has ambition in cultivation and wants to explore the Gold Core or even Primordial Spirit realm, then this is an essential process.
