Chapter 1655: Studying The Profound In The Rising Serpent Market
Every street was paved with white jade, and every jade was producing thin wafts of smoke.
The white jade was no ordinary jade. It was called the Smoke Producing Jade.
“White jade creates a morning smoke that extends life and year.” This quote described the function of the Smoke Producing Jade perfectly. To put it simply, the Smoke Producing Jade possessed the power to extend one’s lifespan. It was so valuable that there was a saying that a thousand gold could not buy two inches of jade. It was priceless in most places.
But here in the Celestial Market On A Cloud, their roads were all paved using the Smoke Producing Jade. Just how wasteful was that?
As for the buildings, they were either built from clouds, flighty and tall; mist, ephemeral and seemingly non-existent; or clear light, both present and not present at the same time. They were incredibly strange to look at, but still indescribably beautiful.
In the sky, structures stood tall and proud, and auspicious clouds flew here and there. Cute children could be seen flying here and there in the sky as well. They were either diving in and out of clouds, taking strange, cloudy forms on occasion, or playing among themselves.
Everything looked beautiful, fantastical, peaceful, and pleasant. It was like a celestial realm.
There weren’t many people on the street, but everyone was shrouded by some sort of thin mist. The mist was constantly changing and warping their appearance to male, female, old or young.
The mist was called the Illusory Mist. It could mask one’s energies and appearance. The conventional Illusory Mist could not mask a person from a Sage’s senses as a matter of course, but the ones used in the Celestial Market On A Cloud was so potent that even a Sage’s senses couldn’t pierce it.
The celestial market did this to protect their customers’ identity.
“Cloud Child!”
Ye Qing waved toward the sky, and a girl who was playing with her peers flew down to meet him.
