The region of Qianyang City, though strategically located, has plains and basins suitable for farming and military training. However, it lacks any Heavenly Materials Treasures, and the mineral resources of the Earth Vein have long been exhausted. Therefore, no prestigious sects have established themselves here, similar to Jiangzhou. The peace is maintained by the cooperation of local gentry, where many Loose Cultivators, Mixed Cultivators, and cultivation families reside together, with occasional trading from mountain dwellers.

After entering the city, Huangfu Yi went to the local Weiyuan Escort Agency to inquire about the whereabouts of the Pei family caravan and asked about Pei Yuhuan's current location.

Being an outsider, suddenly asking about the caravan's whereabouts, the escort agency naturally didn't fully trust his words. However, they still agreed to immediately send a pigeon to communicate with Jiangzhou, asking him to return in two days for the news. Huangfu Yi had no choice but to temporarily lodge at a nearby inn, but fortunately, there was a celestial marketplace nearby, which he visited as well.

Places like Qianzhou are filled with Immortal Fate inheritances. Even if the Mystic Sect zealously guards its sect secrets, aren't there still the things leaked by untamed mixed cultivators, cultivation family legacies, and heterodox sects?

Moreover, even if the Mystic Sect controls their True Inheritor secret manuals strictly, other items are not as restricted. Outer disciples, sect tributes, Daoist companions, and Daoist children can gain access to various cultivation resources through completing sect missions, exchanging any extras they may not need.

Therefore, Qianyang City's celestial marketplace was genuinely magnificent. The entire marketplace was constructed with the Nine Palaces Trigram Array, with an endless variety of Heavenly Materials Treasures, spiritual fruits, mystical treasures, Divine Skill secret manuals, elixir pills, and magic artifacts. The abundance dazzled Huangfu Yi, a country bumpkin, leaving him overwhelmed and lingering for a long time.

Of course, by systematic standards, the items laid out to sell here were naturally not worth looking at, not even worth evaluating as mere "garbage!"

However, garbage serves its purpose too. If it's a simple malaise, using some mundane remedies might suffice. But once it reaches a substantial condition, one might find it challenging to find appropriate medicine.

"These are merely superficial injuries, nothing serious."

"This Five Spirits Continuation Pill is specifically for treating internal injuries of the meridians. Take three pills three times a day with water after meals."

"The Purple Sun Rejuvenating Pill solidifies the foundation and consolidates the origin. Hold one pill under the tongue during daily meditation to nourish Qi."

"The Sweet Dew Purification Powder stops bleeding and disinfects, use in conjunction with the Mystic Frost Regeneration Ointment for internal and external application. Mix evenly and apply to the wound twice a day, morning and evening."

"Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and avoid alcohol."

"Thank you, senior."

Huangfu Yi waited in line for half a day at the medical center within the celestial marketplace until he finally got the city's renowned doctor to perform a diagnostic through a silk thread. He quickly handed over a heap of silver ingots.

That doctor, who was also someone gaining experience from the mountains, usually dealing with a crowd seeking nourishing Qi and paying dearly for medicinal offspring, found himself intrigued by a genuine case of injuries for once, and casually offered some extra advice.

"Fellow Daoist, your foundation is solid, your inner strength is sophisticated, and your breathing cycle is precise and orderly, rarely seen even among mountain people. Clearly, you have been guided by a renowned master."

"However, you are unfamiliar with the fundamental elixir prescriptions and pharmacology, indicating you are still in training and have not received true transmission. Seek out an Immortal Mountain for apprenticeship early to avoid missing opportunities and delaying your fate."

"Moreover, the karmic burden of the Soldier Repelling Coin is heavy. Usually, just one can be exchanged for a magic artifact. Carrying too many invites calamity and endless trouble. You should exchange them promptly for some Qi Refilling Pills, Blood Replenishing Pills, and Divine Gang Coins."

"I see, thank you for the advice."

Touching the heavy purse of silver money, Huangfu Yi realized why that madwoman found him earlier.

These silver ingots and knife coins were the Immortal Currency issued for use among the Mystic Sect people. Originally, they were talismans for exorcising evil. They were later provided by the true men of Mystic Sect to their outer disciples and Daoist children to offset karma or exchange for cultivation materials, and weren't originally circulated outside the Mystic Sect.

But later, when the Northern Demon Tide rose once again, with countless demons and great demons even loose cultivators and mixed cultivators could obtain some demon materials. To collect Heavenly Materials Treasures, all the Mystic Sect factions relaxed their restrictions and agreed to exchange elixir prescriptions for some basic cultivation technique secret manuals. As a result, Soldier Repelling Coins gradually trickled into the public, specifically for trading Heavenly Materials Treasures, far more valuable than the poorly issued Divine Gang Coins of the Immortal Palace today.

If converting using the Foundation Establishment Pill, or similarly valued Heavenly Materials Treasures, the value of a Soldier Repelling Coin fluctuates between ten thousand coins to a million coins. Thinking about it like this, that senior brother tossing out such a large pile of money for a sword might actually have been quite reasonable.

But with the person dead and the money taken, Huangfu Yi could not be bothered to dwell on it. Leaving the medical center, he wandered the marketplace, looking around to see if there were more things he could exchange for. After all, a city this large couldn't possibly be filled with only garbage...

"There's something substantial here!"

As expected, the system chimed in again.

"Really something? Where is it?"

Following the system's guidance, Huangfu Yi arrived at the center of the market. He looked up to see a towering building, indeed topped with seven-colored auspicious clouds and radiating a five-colored treasure light. Below the red-lacquered, gold-adorned eaves dangled a gilt plaque, inscribed with 'Jiuxiao Linglong Pavilion.' Even the golden-maned lions standing guard at the entrance were clearly auspicious beasts, great demons who have formed elixirs. It was evidently a place for the wealthy to spend, making him hesitate for a moment.
