The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 1024 Langhuan Paradise: Transactions and Procurement

"This is Wentian City."

Chen Ping'an, dressed in an elegant blue robe, stood in Wentian City, feeling the overwhelming aura of prosperity emanating from him.

The wide, interconnected streets, the endless stream of people, the dazzling array of shops, and the bustling, lively atmosphere...

Even with a profound cultivation of mental state, a slight ripple occurred in that instant.

"Truly worthy of being a great city in the North!"

Chen Ping'an's gaze warmed slightly, feeling that his trip had not been in vain.

The number of cultivators in Wentian City is far greater than in other places. Just here, within his sight, he saw quite a few mid-to-high-level cultivators.

Wentian City was already prosperous, and now that the Netherworld is about to open and a grand event is approaching, it is not surprising that it has such a grand atmosphere.

He didn't wander aimlessly around the city. He had heard a lot about Wen Tian while in the jade carriage, and he also learned about all the preparations Wen Tian had made before this trip, which made Chen Ping'an's trip quite organized.

"First, we need to find a place to stay."

Jiang Ruotong had previously invited him to move into Luanming together, which was a good thing, but for him, it might not really save him any trouble.

At most, it might bring some convenience in certain matters, but in matters of truly important importance, it might create unnecessary trouble.

He had heard of this trip to the heavens and made many plans, so living alone was the most convenient option for him.

Within Wentian City, there are special restrictions, and even with Chen Ping'an's current understanding of restrictions, it is still difficult to determine their specific grade.

Within Wentian City, there are many magnificent buildings, but the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the Tongtian Pavilion, which seems to pierce the clouds and reach the sky.

As early as when he entered the city, Chen Ping'an could see from afar that the buildings were layered upon each other, with obscure array patterns flowing around them, exuding an aura of dominance over the heavens and the universe.

Wentianlou!

The building is 573 zhang tall, making it the tallest building in Wentian City!

A small portion of the Wentian Tower is submerged in the clouds, standing alone and aloof, vast and boundless.

If one could climb this building, one could imagine its grandeur, as if standing on the highest peak.

Of course, such feelings would be incredibly shocking to ordinary people, but for a great cultivator like Chen Ping'an, the shock would be much less.

At this height, even ordinary martial arts masters could leap across with a flash of light if they so desired. However, whether they could maintain it for a long time depended on the specific techniques they practiced.

Although a martial arts master can transform into a shooting star and fly across the sky, they are not omnipotent in their ability to escape.

The speed of the escape light wasn't as mysterious as it seemed; it was more about borrowing the power of nature to lift itself up.

If the altitude is too high, the borrowed heavenly power is limited, and even celestial beings would find it difficult to maintain for a long time.

However, once one reaches the Great Cultivation Realm, the height of the escape light becomes much higher.

If Chen Ping'an wanted to, he could fly even thousands of feet in the air.

However, the specifics depend on the terrain of the mountain range, where the vital energy is scarce.

According to ancient texts, there is a cosmic pressure above the Nine Heavens. Under the vast will of the Nine Heavens, even a martial arts master cannot freely fly tens of thousands of feet in the air.

Chen Ping'an glanced at Wentian Tower for a moment. Although Wentian Tower was tall, according to the information, it was not the tallest building in the Northern Territory.

The tallest man-made building in the Northern Territory is located in the central region of the Northern Territory, within Xinglan State.

Xinglan Prefecture, Zhaixing Tower, is 999 zhang tall, with flying eaves and arched beams, shimmering with light and color, reaching straight into the heavens, like a celestial palace.

Chen Ping'an had long heard of the Star-Picking Tower, a prominent landmark within the Northern Border Garrison.

In addition, there is the Langhuan territory where the five powerful families reside, with the Qiongtian Tower, which is 781 zhang tall and equally magnificent, piercing the clouds.

Legend has it that the Qiongtian Tower, built with funds from the Five Families, was magnificent and dazzling, filled with rare and precious treasures, making it incomparably brilliant.

Since the area is called Langhuan, it naturally evokes the feeling of Langhuan.

Among the many noble families in the Northern Territory, the Langhuan Five Families can be considered one of the most extravagant.

The entire affair was extravagant and luxurious, even surpassing the grandeur of the renowned Zhe family.

The Five Families, who control the Langhuan region and whose influence extends to other areas, are considered to be among the top tier of families after the most prestigious families in the world.

This definition is not limited to the North, but extends to the entire world!

Chen Ping'an's gaze shifted slightly, returning from the towering skyscraper that seemed to pierce the sky in the distance.

His thoughts were racing, and the information he had previously learned about Wen Tian kept flashing through his mind.

Within Wentian City, various forces hold sway, their interests intertwined in a complex web, making the situation far more complex than that of ordinary places or even states.

In this respect, Beishan Pass is nothing compared to Wentian City; it's like comparing a small fry to a big fish.

However, at Chen Ping'an's current level, even with the size of Wentian City, there are not many forces that are truly worthy of his attention.

Aside from the official system, there are only a few forces in Wentian City that he can pay attention to.

Among the local forces, the three major local families are the ones he should pay the most attention to.

The Huang family, the Zhou family, and...

Qing family!

The Wen Tianqing family, the foremost family in Wen Tian, ​​boasts a long and rich history, with a lineage spanning six thousand years. It is a place blessed with outstanding people and talents, and its members have produced many remarkable individuals.

At the same time, the Qing family is also related to the prestigious Chu family by marriage.

Although it was only a past ancestral bond, this network of connections was enough to make all parties involved in Wen Tian dare not provoke him in the slightest.

As Chen Ping'an's thoughts shifted, the influence of the local powerful families of Wentian surfaced in his mind, and he himself had traversed a long distance to arrive at a blessed land.

Wen Tian's journey here will last quite a while. As a newcomer, his first priority is naturally to find a suitable place to stay.

And in front of me.

That was his choice.

Wentian City, Langhuan Cave.

Langhuan Cave is an estate under the Northern Territory Family, one of the Five Families. Its business radiates across various regions of the Northern Territory, including numerous immortal cities and major towns. It is a highly reliable and systematically operated high-end cave dwelling.

It has an excellent reputation among high-level cultivators. However, it is much more expensive than a typical local elegant cave dwelling.

However, Chen Ping'an had accumulated experience over a long period of time, so he wasn't lacking in this aspect.

For this trip to Wentian, seclusion is paramount, but the experience itself should not be overlooked.

This place was Chen Ping'an's primary choice for his planned accommodation during this trip.

After paying a considerable amount of Yuan Crystals, Chen Ping'an successfully enjoyed a three-month stay at Langhuan Cave.

"Senior, this way please."

Led by a female cultivator dressed in the distinctive attire of Langhuan Cave, Chen Ping'an easily settled into a blessed cave dwelling.

"That's not bad."

Chen Ping'an looked around and was quite satisfied with this cave dwelling.

The environment is serene and tranquil, with array formations and restrictions, external warnings, and internal defenses. This expenditure of Yuan Crystals was quite worthwhile.

Langhuan Cave is an asset under the Five Families, so its reputation is relatively secure.

However, Chen Ping'an has never relied on the reputation of others to make a living.

Naturally, some arrangements were made during this process.

After so many days of study and refinement, his third-tier superior-grade restriction technique has now taken shape. With the aid of his great cultivation of the divine soul and the methods of sealing, all his restriction techniques have become quite impressive.

Furthermore, coupled with the aura of the Yin Wind Pearl, this place can be said to be completely isolated from the outside world, making it difficult to predict the future.

After doing all this, Chen Ping'an finally relaxed a little. He had been tense all along, and sensing the surrounding mental state, he was able to relax for a moment.

hum~

Chen Ping'an's eyes flashed, and an information panel appeared in front of him.

"10505 point."

Chen Ping'an stared intently for a long time before gradually looking away.

Despite the arduous journey, his cultivation was not delayed in the slightest. Even during the few days he traveled with Luan Ming and Jiang Ruotong, his current extraordinary cultivation level and concealment techniques meant that even if they cultivated face-to-face, those in high-level cultivation would not be able to detect anything amiss.

All cultivation should be treated as normal breathing exercises, and even if corresponding fluctuations of the soul are sensed, they should be treated as normal energy transfer.

As for the origins of the cultivation method, not a single detail will be revealed.

This journey to Guiyuan Baojuan has been quite successful in my cultivation. Given this situation, achieving mastery in cultivation should only be a matter of two more months.

This journey of cultivation has not been in vain.

Besides

Chen Ping'an's eyes narrowed, and a blue light shone forth, revealing a blue scroll of profound meaning.

A faint blue light shone in Chen Ping'an's eyes, subtly conveying a strange feeling.

The elegant music and the resonance between his soul and spirit had given him a powerful tonic, making all his previously obscure insights suddenly clear.

Some insights that were difficult to define suddenly became clear, and the bottlenecks in understanding the essence of the matter were loosened considerably.

This was an extremely rare experience for him.

Now that the opportunity was right, he was unwilling to miss it and took advantage of the lingering effects to reflect and digest it.

Chen Ping'an closed his eyes slightly, and a light gradually appeared on his forehead.

From the perspective of the divine soul, his body constantly emitted mysterious fluctuations, with the power of heaven and earth slowly and steadily rolling in.

This power of heaven and earth entered through the Spirit Bridge, connecting his inside and outside, and slowly nourishing his physical body.

The Great Cultivation of Heaven and Man: Using the power of heaven and earth to nourish oneself.

Although Chen Ping'an's physique was robust, some extremely subtle changes also occurred during this slow nourishment.

These changes, accumulated over time, are destined to produce an incredibly powerful effect.

Some celestial cultivators who have been immersed in the Great Cultivation Realm for many years, even without cultivating the Way of the Body, possess a physique that is comparable to that of an ordinary fourth-order Body Tempering cultivator.

In the Great Cultivation of Heaven and Man, the soul becomes a vortex, nourished by heaven and earth. This is the aura of a Great Cultivation. If one intends to conceal such a phenomenon, generally only cultivators of the same realm can perceive it.

Given the current state of isolation, it's natural that outsiders would have no way of knowing what's going on.

When Chen Ping'an opened his eyes, it was already completely dark outside.

However, his eyes were clear and bright, radiating vitality. It was as if he had exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling completely refreshed.

"This profound understanding has been a great tonic, broadening my knowledge by at least several years!"

Chen Ping'an slowly came to understand himself, feeling joy in his heart.

The profound and subtle meanings bestowed by Gu Tianren are truly remarkable, and he has now gained a great deal of insight into them, making him extraordinary. His skill and foundation, especially his understanding of swordsmanship, are at least a level higher than before.

In this state of mind, if one were to unleash the Guanghan Sword Technique again, its power would be at least half a notch higher.

In addition, the improvement and modification of the Seven Forbidden Laws further enhances the possibility of putting the theory into practice.

"Upon arriving at Wentian, the moonlight was just right, and it shouldn't be wasted."

Chen Ping'an glanced at the moonlight, a thought struck him, and in an instant, he disappeared from the blessed cave.

Within this blessed land, there are mottled stone caves, casting dappled moonlight shadows.

"This Wentian City is indeed extraordinary!"

Even a casually chosen treasure pavilion possesses such profound cultural heritage.

As Chen Ping'an walked out of a treasure shop, he had already removed most of the miscellaneous items and accessories from his body.

In addition, he also had several bottles of Ice Soul Cold Water on him.

His involvement in this major overhaul, and the scale and scope of his work, are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

All transactions no longer require the same restraint as before.

They barely showed their power before being greeted with an extremely high level of hospitality.

Under such circumstances, all transactions will proceed smoothly.

Like the Ice Soul Cold Water that was hard to find in Beishan Pass before, we easily got a few bottles here.

As for the price...

This is certainly extraordinary.

The sale of these scraps was not enough to cover the transaction, so he had to pay an extra sum.

"With this harvest of the Ice Soul Cold Water, we are one step closer to our goal."

Sensing the faint gaze prying at him from behind, Chen Ping'an snorted coldly, and with a flick of his body, he vanished from the other party's sight as if by magic.

Inside the treasure pavilion, an old man in a long robe glared at her with eyes that seemed to be pierced by needles, and couldn't help but groan in pain.

"Major overhaul!"

He was shocked and quickly suppressed the unrealistic idea in his mind.

I thought he was at most a half-step realm cultivator, but who would have thought he was a genuine Grand Master!

Fortunately fortunately

He felt fortunate that he had not been treated unfairly in the previous transaction.

"Zhenlingfang!"

Chen Ping'an stopped in front of a magnificent and imposing pavilion.

This magnificent pavilion is extraordinary; even just from the outside, it exudes an overwhelming aura of jewels and precious stones.

Recalling the information in his mind, Chen Ping'an stepped forward.

"Please come in, senior."

Amidst the melodious voices of the women in palace dresses, Chen Ping'an stepped into this magnificent building.

Zhenling Pavilion is a local commercial pavilion in Wentian City, and one of the largest pavilions in the city. Its scale is comparable to Wanxiang Pavilion in Beihai and Langhuan Pavilion in Wufang.

The connections behind this are deep and complex, with many forces within Wentian City backing them. Only through such alliances can they compete with the powerful foreign industry without being at a disadvantage.

When Chen Ping'an emerged from the Treasure Pavilion, his excess inventory had significantly decreased. This included the few unused treasures he carried.

Correspondingly, he acquired several jugs of fourth-grade spirit wine, as well as a few rare poisonous herbs and spirit flowers, and some cold water for storage.

The prices were neither high nor low.

This was just right for Chen Ping'an, who was new to the area.

The rarest and most precious items were those few jugs of spirit wine, which were quite remarkable among spirit wines of the same grade.

Whether used to stimulate inspiration, enhance one's state, or entertain like-minded people, it is a good choice.

Afterwards, Chen Ping'an visited several more shops before reluctantly returning to his cave.

"That's enough for today, we'll fight again tomorrow!"

Since you're new here, prioritize stability in all matters. There's plenty of time, so there's no need to rush things.

Over the next few days, Chen Ping'an frequented the treasure pavilion shops in Wentian City, selling off his possessions and making purchases, while also learning a lot of useful information.

We have gained a deeper understanding of Wentian's business formats and ecological strength.

Under these circumstances, he also officially came into contact with higher-level trading meetings within Wentian City.

These small meetings, without endorsement and influence, are virtually impossible to access through ordinary channels.

However, with Chen Ping'an's groundwork laid over the past few days, reaching this level was naturally a natural progression given his advanced cultivation level.

These smaller gatherings are of a higher standard, and it's easier to trade rare spiritual items and resources within them. (End of Chapter)
