There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever.

Lu Changan and his party walked out of Juxian Building, said goodbye to each other, and said some blessings that "the road to immortality will be prosperous".

"Brother Lu, if you are short of spiritual stones, I can lend you ten."

Before leaving, Zhao Siyao took the initiative to speak.

Lu Changan thought about it for a while, but he didn't refuse and borrowed ten spiritual stones from Zhao Siyao.

Li Ergou couldn't help but smacked his lips.

…

"Brother Lu! Doesn't my spirit stone not have the fragrance of Zhao Siyao?"

After parting ways, Li Ergou said angrily.

When he was at the Mu family, he saw that Lu Changan was lacking cultivation resources, and he kindly borrowed spiritual stones several times, but the latter refused to accept them.

"Haha, her spiritual stone is indeed more fragrant than yours."

Lu Changan chuckled lightly.

In fact, Lu Changan was willing to borrow the spirit stone in order to establish a relationship with Zhao Siyao, a disciple of the sect.

The so-called exchange of favors requires "reciprocity".

Lu Changan borrowed the spirit stone this time and returned it next time, thus creating a human relationship.

As long as Zhao Siyao does not deliberately alienate him in the future, Lu Changan is willing to maintain this level of personal connections.

After all, the sect has many scarce resources, including information on the upper echelons of the immortal world.

Lu Changan is practicing in a small family, and he doesn't want to be blocked from information and unable to understand the situation in the world of immortality.

Furthermore, making friends with an inner sect disciple can also be regarded as a level of background relationship, which is very practical at the bottom of the world of immortality.

"I'm also short of spiritual stones, why don't you lend them to me?"

On the side, Lin Yi remained silent, feeling sour in his heart.

The three of them headed back to the prince's mansion.

…

The next day, Li Ergou went back to the countryside to visit relatives.

The two agreed to meet at the Prince's Mansion in two months.

Lu Changan is planning to attend the casual cultivator trade fair in a few days, and then go to the Nujiang Gang.

A few days later.

Lin Yi returned from outside and handed a wooden token to Lu Changan.

"Brother Lu, this is a token of the casual cultivator trade fair. It will be held somewhere outside Hengshui Prefecture tomorrow night..."

"Brother Lin, won't you come with us?"

Lu Changan took the wooden token and found that it was made of a piece of spiritual wood.

I'm afraid it will cost a certain amount of money to qualify for the conference.

"I went there a few months ago. This time there was no demand and I was short of money, so I didn't go to show my shame."

Lin Yi smiled bitterly, with a hint of self-deprecation in his words.

Living in the Marquis Mansion of Guang'an these days, Lu Changan learned about Lin Yi's current situation.

As the concubine of a prince, Lin Yi initially had a low status in the palace. When he was seven years old, he was found to have spiritual roots, which earned him the attention and efforts of Marquis Guang'an to cultivate him.

In fact, most of the secular upper-class people know the channels of cultivating immortality.

The people in the middle and lower classes only know some rumors about immortals.

After the sect failed the examination, the Prince's Mansion's support for Lin Yi was very limited.

Do you want to be an official in the court or join the army?

Unfortunately.

The sects of the Liang Kingdom’s Immortal Realm set rules:

Immortal cultivators are not allowed to interfere with secular dynasties, let alone kill at will.

As a result, Lin Yi's situation was a bit embarrassing.

"I'll trouble you, Brother Lin, this time."

Lu Changan expressed his gratitude, which was regarded as accepting Lin Yi's affection.

…

The next evening.

Hengshui Fucheng is dozens of miles away.

A dilapidated temple is obscured by fog, making it difficult for outsiders to detect it.

Lu Changan used spiritual eyes to walk into the ruined temple.

As expected, some figures of casual cultivators were found.

There are men, women, old and young, most of them are in the early stage of Qi refining, and there are only three or four in the middle stage of Qi refining.

Some people show their true faces, while others wear masks or hats to hide their faces.

Lu Changan had disguised himself beforehand and used the bone-shrinking technique in the secular world, and now he looked like a young and strong man.

As a new face, it will inevitably attract the attention of some casual cultivators.

"What do you call this new fellow Taoist?"

Next to the shrine, a tall and thin man at the fourth level of Qi Refining spoke and looked over with twinkling eyes.

This person appears to be one of the organizers of the trade fair.

"My surname is Jiang." Lu Changan randomly announced his surname and handed over the token.

"Friend Jiang, please find a place to sit. The trade fair will be held later."

The tall and thin man checked the token and nodded.

I waited for about half an hour.

Twenty or thirty people gathered in the ruined temple, and the trade fair officially began.

The transaction method is very simple. Everyone speaks in turn, showing the resources sold, or indicating what they want to buy.

"I have three red pine cones for sale. The one with the best price will go first."

"Three hundred years of Polygonum multiflorum, giving priority to the trade of spiritual stones and elixirs..."

"The low-grade magic weapon, the green steel shuttle, has a damaged case. Is there any fellow Taoist who is interested..."

Lu Changan paid attention for a moment and found that the items traded were all very low-end.

Some of the traded items are just secular medicines, not spiritual objects from the world of immortality.

"Xu has five bottles of Qi Nourishing Pill in his hand, which are 50% lower than the market price..."

The tall, thin man at the fourth level of Qi Refining spoke.

"Qi-nourishing pill? Fifty percent lower than the market price?"

It immediately attracted the interest of many people.

Qi-nourishing pills are suitable for monks in the early stage of Qi refining to enhance their magic power and promote their cultivation.

"I'm afraid it's not a genuine elixir. How effective is it?"

For low-level casual cultivators, elixirs are hard to come by. People are inevitably tempted by cheap elixirs.

"After appraisal by Mr. Wang and I, the efficacy of the medicine is close to 50% of the genuine product, and the erysipelas is slightly higher..."

The tall and thin man named Xu said lightly.

Lu Changan felt relieved, thinking of the inferior elixirs that Xia Feilun had previously promoted.

However, the tall and thin man named Xu, one of the organizers of the transaction, is obviously not Xia Feilun. I wonder if there is any connection between the two.

After a while, it was Lu Changan's turn.

"Jiang has ten talismans for sale, four of [Fire Bullet Technique], three of [Wind Blade Technique], and three of [Golden Light Mask]. The latter two are first-level mid-grade talismans."

Lu Changan took out ten talismans and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

"Mid-grade talisman?"

The casual cultivators in the ruined temple looked surprised.

[Fire Bullet Technique] This type of low-grade talisman is relatively common.

However, middle-grade talismans appear less frequently.
