Ning Zheng's original goal for coming here was to attend the auction and purchase some things.

After all, he still had more than two million Magic Coins in hand, ready to spend.

But now, standing in the central area of the street, he's at a loss for what to do.

He doesn't know where to attend the auction.

Does this Ancient Era city even have an auction?

Can he auction goods that belong to his own time period?

He hopes it's not an archaeological event, buying ancient relics from tourist attractions.

The kind that can only be used as souvenirs.

Although it doesn't sound great, Ning Zheng, who has always been very opinionated, feels at this moment like a primitive person stepping into a high-tech modern society, standing on the street completely at a loss.

"I truly am primitive and backward, coming from a small village, having never seen a big city," Ning Zheng sighed inwardly, hesitated for a moment, and quickly calmed himself.

As long as he's not unique, that's good enough.

Everyone who comes in is like this, a mix of live humans and ghosts.

No wonder they have to block auras, cultivation techniques, flesh, and blood... Because with it, the living wouldn't know who's a ghost, and ghosts wouldn't know who's alive.

Blocking your aura for free lets you coexist peacefully.

"Might as well take a walk and have a look, why stay so tense?"

Ning Zheng quickly figured it out and began strolling through the streets, observing his surroundings with the mentality of a tourist admiring ancient history and attractions.

One must admit that big cities are indeed prosperous.

The more he toured, the more he marveled at this atmosphere, the opulence of the government truly shocked Ning Zheng.

He even saw a sign at the entrance of a large teahouse in a corner:

[New humans and Demon Beast mounts not allowed inside]

Ning Zheng: "..."

Oh my.

He felt a sense of arrogance from that bookstore owner before, and now it's confirmed. People of that era looked down on "mortals" without Spiritual Roots.

"In past lives, you could only look at history through movies."

"And here, it's directly traveling through history, entering a living movie."

This is an immersive education.

He walked a while and suddenly saw a restaurant, thought about it, and decided to enter.

He discovered a corner at the entrance of the restaurant where you could exchange Magic Coins.

Is this another country's way of exchanging currency?

Who knows how much the commission is.

Ning Zheng engaged in some conversation, which the other party was used to, and pointed to a sign above.

Roughly one hundred and five Magic Coins exchange for one hundred Spirit Stones.

Ning Zheng guessed five Magic Coins were the commission, normally it should be 100 Magic Coins = 100 Spirit Stones.

He exchanged a hundred Magic Coins, chose a large room, sat down, browsed the menu, randomly ordered a few dishes, and calculated the cost, approximately 80 Spirit Stones...

Several blacksmiths in the back, seeing this scene, were inwardly jubilant.

"I saw it, eighty Magic Coins, this meal is expensive."

"The old steward is generous, treating us to a big meal."

Ning Zheng ignored them, instead, he looked at the dishes brought in, and sniffed them.

Logically, most here are ghosts.

But their cooking had no Yin Qi, estimating it's a kind of advanced method beyond imagination.

This tourism industry is obviously well-developed; these ghosts are all well-fed and satisfied.

Xinyi Continent City, can a pauper visit this place?

Ning Zheng chuckled inwardly, let Dizzy and several others eat the food, he tasted a few bites, then tipped five Spirit Stones and asked the waiter about the general situation in the city.

"Sir, I've entertained many of you foreign guests."

"If you want to buy something, you generally go to large auctions, just head east, there are many goods, very comprehensive."

"For accommodation, head west, walk a while, and you'll see an inn. The Spirit Stone grilled Spirit Fish there is praised by all visitors."

"Head south for the brothel, the little tunes are to your liking, and if you want special services, there's a little alley behind the brothel, comfortable indeed."

Ning Zheng listened to the waiter's fluent explanation, realizing how many times he must have repeated it.

He got an idea and asked, "That alley, no one gets killed there?"

Ghosts and humans on different paths, something will happen.

"What possible deaths?" the waiter chuckled, "Those are all shops operated by you outsiders, we can't even afford to enter."

Ning Zheng understood.

It's living people entering to run indecent brothels, to make money, providing living people as services.

This tourist area, other families also drool over it.

These prices here are obviously high.

Ning Zheng had an idea, suddenly thought of something: "Can those shops be rented?"

"They definitely can."

The waiter's eyes lit up, "Can rent, not sell, good locations on the street front, one-year rent for ten thousand Spirit Stones, less in a small alley, a few thousand Spirit Stones a year... Shall I introduce them to you?"

Ning Zheng calculated.

Ten thousand Spirit Stones a year, pricing similar to Pingchang City.

But seems it cannot be calculated like this either.

In Pingchang City's central district, this price isn't wrong.

But here, called "historical tourist area," the place is enormously huge.

Foot traffic is dispersed, Ning Zheng feels he hasn't encountered many living people, low customer flow, hard to make money.

"The guest wants to rent a shop?" the waiter smiled brightly.

"Just asking," Ning Zheng thought if he could manage a shop it wouldn't be a bad idea, but this could be researched slowly. He said, "Are there any Secret Realms worth exploring nearby?"

"Definitely, there are."

The waiter smiled, "Recently, a batch of Demon Beasts appeared near the Spirit Stone Ore, many families' Five-Body Realm cultivators are planning a siege, and even families in the Four Viscera Realm are personally stationed there."

The waiter spoke with enthusiasm, everything seemed vivid and lifelike.

Ning Zheng was listening with great interest.

Though this is history, these ghosts truly resemble living humans, adventuring, diving into Secret Realms, exploring, battling.

And this area he's entered, families at the Four Viscera Realm level are considered a force, estimating the truly strong tomb areas aren't here.

But that's also reasonable.

Three Elements Realm cultivators are not that many.

Pingchang City is a large city, the Three Elements Realm are ancestors of families, Great Cultivators anywhere.

Ning Zheng ate his fill, exchanged some Spirit Stones at the front desk again.

He glanced at the bill, 1000 Spirit Stones cost 1050 Magic Coins, an extra fifty Magic Coins as exchange fee, cursing under his breath at the money trap.

Traveling to big cities, spending money without doing anything, but what's needed must be spent, saving too much affects exploration progress, traveling requires money to save time.

Next, having clarified his goals, Ning Zheng headed for the so-called auction.

Upon reaching the destination, he made inquiries with a white-clad ancient-dressed beauty at the front desk, discovering that the auction happens every three days.

It's not opened at the moment, but itself is a huge shop, selling many things.

A variety of resources are dazzling.

Unlike the ancient "souvenirs" outside.

Here, it mainly sells goods from this Immortal Path era, with resources ranging from the Five-Body Realm to the Three Elements Realm.

There are Meat Fields, various Demon Beast materials.

Magical Artifacts, Pill Medicines, Talismans, and even Ning Zheng also saw the item listing for a Five-Body Realm Perfection Money Child, 25,000 Magic Coins.

"Oh my, previously quoted at 30,000, the Pingchang City Business Alliance likely sources from here, taking so much commission from me?"

Ning Zheng could only glance at the report, feeling speechless.

Five thousand Magic Coins.

Really, do they think I print money?

He continued reading and discovered that virtually all goods from Pingchang City are available here, and prices are even slightly cheaper.

After reading, Ning Zheng immediately guessed.

Here, is the upstream wholesaler for the Pingchang City Business Alliance.

If he's right.

He has entered the historical wall of Xinyi City, crossing this tomb area, the inside is the real living zone.

However, this outer tomb area—super large Red House, also capable of selling various goods and fulfilling most purchase needs.
