Qin Ming paid the Spirit Stones to enter the Market.
This Heavenly River Market was also something he learned about from the map he purchased from Gu Qingzhao.
Its scale was much smaller than Green Sun Market.
However, the Shops inside were quite distinctive, with all types of Shops available.
Qin Ming casually stepped into a restaurant.
"This esteemed guest, is there anything you require? Our restaurant's Azure Dragon Spirit Fish is famous far and wide, would you like to try one to taste its freshness?" The waiter eagerly stepped forward to introduce.
Qin Ming became interested upon hearing this. He had long heard that the Spirit Dwelling Islands had a specialty Spirit Fish that was unique to this place.
Its Spirit Fish Soup had a considerable effect on increasing Magical Power for those in the Qi Condensation Stage, and was a rare Immortal Abode Delicacies, called "Little Azure Dragon Soup".
"How is this Azure Dragon Spirit Fish sold?" Qin Ming inquired.
The waiter saw that the other party had responded, and looked like another wealthy guest, and immediately plastered a smile on his face and said, "This Azure Dragon Spirit Fish is extremely difficult to catch, and cannot be artificially cultivated, therefore the price is also slightly expensive."
"One pound of Azure Dragon Spirit Fish is one hundred and eighty Spirit Stones."
Clearly, this special Spirit Fish was not something that ordinary Cultivators could afford.
"Uh, then just give me a few home-style dishes." Although Qin Ming's Spirit Stone reserves were now very plentiful, even a full fish banquet was something he could afford.
However, considering that he had just arrived in this place, it was not advisable to be too flashy, so as not to attract covetous eyes.
It was best to keep a low profile.
This Spirit Fish… he would find a day to catch one himself and try.
Subsequently.
Qin Ming briskly ordered a few dishes.
The waiter laughed sheepishly, not expecting that the other party would instantly change his mind as soon as he heard the price.
However, he still enthusiastically brewed a pot of tea for Qin Ming, asked him to rest for a moment, and then went to prepare the dishes.
A moment later.
Several Spirit Dwelling Islands' unique delicacies were served, all of which were seafood.
The prices were very affordable, something ordinary Cultivators could also afford, not as expensive as the Azure Dragon Spirit Fish.
Qin Ming's appetite was greatly stimulated, and he picked up his chopsticks to begin tasting.
He was halfway through eating.
When he heard the Cultivators at the Next Door table start to discuss.
"Hey! Have you guys heard?"
"The Yu Family from White Wave Island, who make a living by fishing, yesterday in the Min River Basin, caught an Azure Dragon Spirit Fish King, which actually carried a trace of dragon Bloodline."
"A once-in-a-century sight!"
"This Azure Dragon Spirit Fish King made into Great Azure Dragon Soup, is said to be of great benefit to increasing Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation."
"Then the Yu Family has directly become wealthy this time!"
"How many Spirit Stones would that sell for?"
"It is said that it was immediately bought by a Foundation Establishment Senior at a high price of more than two thousand Spirit Stones."
"How much?!"
"Did I hear correctly? Two thousand Spirit Stones!"
Qin Ming picked up a dish, eating while pondering.
This one fish could sell for two thousand Spirit Stones? If he caught an Azure Dragon Spirit Fish, and used the [Bloodline Reversion] Entry on it, he wondered if it would give birth to an Azure Dragon Spirit Fish King containing dragon Bloodline? But then he dismissed this thought.
The Entries refreshed by planting Spirit Plants should only have an effect on Spirit Plants or himself, right?
He shook his head and continued eating.
"Also, there is another piece of news."
"It is said that the lease for Green Haze Island of the Mo Family in the north is about to expire."
"Now several Qi Condensation Families are very envious of this treasure land, and are starting to eye it covetously."
"After all, it is a Second Tier Spirit Island, who wouldn't covet it?"
"Compared to this, you are probably more interested in Fairy Qingxia, right? Hahaha!"
"After all, Mo Lingwei of Green Haze Island, is the number one beauty of the Spirit Dwelling Islands."
"It is said that Fairy Qingxia, this time is also going all out, in order to protect the Spirit Island, she is recruiting two Rogue Cultivators with Strength, intending to continue to jointly lease Green Haze Island."
"No way, there is such a good thing! Do you think I would be suitable?"
"Give it a rest, Fairy Qingxia has requirements for those who jointly lease."
"Not only must they have sufficient and stable Spirit Stone financial income."
"And they must be introduced by someone trustworthy, with excellent character." "After all, in previous years, there were cases of some Qi Condensation Families recruiting Guest Elders from outside, but ended up leading wolves into the house, and being usurped and bringing disaster to the whole family, and it's not just happened once or twice."
…
Qin Ming unhurriedly finished his meal, and also gathered some information.
He still planned to go and investigate on the ground.
But before this.
Qin Ming planned to dispose of some of the stolen goods he had previously obtained.
Next.
He successively changed three or four Shops, and disposed of all the low-grade Magical Artifacts, Pills, Cultivation Methods, and the like that he could not use.
And received several thousand more Spirit Stones.
After doing all this.
Qin Ming found an ordinary inn in the Market to stay.
The Next Day.
Qin Ming got up and circulated the Evergreen Skill once, after washing up and eating, he received a message from Wu Jiang.
He then told the other party the location.
After an Incense Stick Duration.
Wu Jiang followed the directions and arrived at Qin Ming's Room.
As soon as he came in, his expression was a little unnatural, and he stammered and said:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, there is bad news, the matter of you plotting to lease an island, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve."
"I believe you should have also heard some news Within the Market yesterday."
"That Fairy Qingxia Mo Lingwei, looks like she wants to continue to find someone to lease the island, and her determination is quite great."
Qin Ming nodded upon hearing this, and then said.
"I have also learned about this matter."
"However, Fellow Daoist Wu, could you take me to Green Haze Island to see it for myself, so that I, Qin, can make a decision."
Wu Jiang's original expression was quite dejected, but when he heard Qin Ming's words, his eyes instantly lit up, and his whole body became energetic.
"No problem! Fellow Daoist Qin, putting aside other things, I, Wu Jiang, am a local expert in this Spirit Dwelling Islands area."
"Even if you want to find Fairy Qingxia to jointly lease, and talk about cooperation matters, I can also introduce you."
Wu Jiang patted his chest after speaking, looking like he could be completely relied upon.
After finishing the conversation.
The two left Heavenly River Market and drove their Flying Magic Tools to fly north.
"Brother Wu, I have something I don't understand."
"Since Vast Sea Immortal City is so close to you, why did you abandon the near and seek the far, and travel thousands of miles to develop in the Cloud Marsh Great Wilderness?" Qin Ming casually voiced the doubts in his heart.
Wu Jiang smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "Not afraid of Brother Qin laughing… once you arrive at Vast Sea Immortal City you will know, how cruel the competition is for Lower Ranks Loose Cultivators in the Cultivation World."
"I also once spent a few years in Immortal City, but because my own Cultivation was not outstanding, and I also did not have any skills to show off, my achievements were few, and my Cultivation has been stagnant."
"Alas! Even if there are opportunities, they also belong to those Loose Cultivators with backgrounds and backing, and Strength."
"That kind of life where you can see the end at a glance, a High-Order Spirit Plant Master like Fellow Daoist Qin probably cannot experience it."
"Therefore, I decided to go outside and venture out, to gamble for an opportunity."
Wu Jiang said, quite emotional.
"Brother Wu is joking, I can understand that feeling, not hiding it from Brother Wu, a few years ago I was also a Lower Ranks Spirit Farmer, and was still struggling to survive."
"Now I have also relied on my own efforts in Farming, and step by step have reached this point." Qin Ming smiled, and comforted the other party.
But he did not say the last sentence.
In addition to this, he also relied on a little bit of help from his Cheat Ability!
Wu Jiang heard these words and his expression became excited, "Really? I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Qin to be so inspiring!"
"It seems that I have been lax, alas! My Dao Heart is still not firm enough…"
"In the future, I will take Fellow Daoist Qin as my role model, and learn more from you."
Qin Ming smiled, and did not say anything more.
Two hours later.
A Spirit Island shrouded in spiritual mist appeared in the line of sight of the two.
