Chapter 494: Secret Canon Of Yaos (II)
Unlike the immortal market Lin Zheyu had visited before, this one was established and maintained by the Wanli Alliance. The previous one had been established and maintained by Soaring Cloud Pavilion. Though the forces behind them were different, the style of the markets was much the same, except that the shops here were primarily those of the Wanli Alliance.Lin Zheyu browsed around and bought a medicinal pill for Elder Yang to heal old injuries, and another for Huang Baizhong to break through to the Martial Innate realm. He also bought some items for Guo Wenzi, Chen Ding, Huang Youwei, and the others. He spent lavishly, using nearly two mid-grade spirit stones in total.
Spirit stones could always be earned again, but debts of gratitude remained troublesome if unpaid. As Lin Zheyu's strength increased, his standards for inner perfection became more demanding. He was not a cold or emotionless individual; according to his principles, neglecting to repay what he owed would create flaws in his mental state.
After buying the pills and items for Elder Yang and the others, Lin Zheyu went to the Wanli Alliance in the center of the market. It was the biggest shop in the market and one of the alliance's branch offices. Its selection of items was dazzlingly diverse, seemingly offering everything.
A delicate-looking young woman at the third stage of the Qi Refining realm came forward and asked respectfully, "Fellow Daoist, what would you like to purchase?"
"I heard you have texts related to demonic patterns for sale?" Lin Zheyu asked calmly, then took out his jade token and handed it over.
No matter the world, books were the ladder of human progress. Standing on the shoulders of giants and absorbing knowledge others had already developed was far easier than fumbling one's way forward from scratch.
Seeing the jade token, the woman's eyes brightened slightly, and her attitude grew even more respectful. "We do. Please come with me, senior."
Those who possessed such jade tokens either had powerful backing or formidable strength. All were true honored guests of the Wanli Alliance. Lin Zheyu gave a slight nod and followed her to the third floor. There, a woman in a crimson fitted dress sat elegantly by the counter. Before her was a plate of melon seeds. She flipped through a text while casually cracking seeds, giving off an air of cultured elegance. Sensing someone's arrival, she looked up and came forward with a smile.
What an astonishingly powerful physique, the woman thought in secret.
This Wanli Alliance branch had a special formation inscribed within it, capable of glimpsing certain hidden aspects of those who entered. The moment Lin Zheyu stepped onto the third floor, she had a vague sense that his physique was unbelievably powerful.
"I am Zhuo Wanfeng. Fellow Daoist, you may simply call me Wanfeng. May I ask what you wish to purchase this time?" Zhuo Wanfeng smiled, two small dimples appearing on her cheeks, adding a distinct charm.
