Chapter 1126: Chapter 589: Picking Up a Bargain

Back in the Cave Mansion, Lin Tianming and his wife idly chatted.

Lin Tianming also asked Qin Xi for her opinion regarding what Sun Liancheng had said.

Qin Xi’s opinion was straightforward. Regardless of whether Sun Liancheng was telling the truth or not, it was essential for the couple to check things out for themselves.

If it was true, there was no harm for them to make a move.

But if it was false, they could simply leave. After all, there would be no loss or danger involved.

Thus, the couple quickly reached a consensus.

Later, Lin Tianming sent a message to Sun Liancheng, agreeing to meet at the top of a hill outside Yuanzhen City at dawn in half a month.

With this matter settled, Lin Tianming and his wife began their preparations.

The next morning, Lin Tianming left the Cave Mansion alone and started to wander around Yuanzhen City.

It had been over three years since they came to Yuanzhen City.

Previously, he had mostly been in closed-door cultivation and hadn’t really taken the time to explore Yuanzhen City, one of the major cities in the Qingzhou Land.

So, Lin Tianming started walking on the streets of Yuanzhen City, looking around attentively.

Before long, he found himself in a plaza in the North District.

This place, like every other workshop or city, had a designated area for setting up stalls. The difference lay in the size of these areas and the volume of people frequenting them.

As one of the top cities in Qingzhou, Yuanzhen City had an extremely bustling crowd in almost every area.

This was especially true for the stall area where both Qi Refining Cultivators and Golden Core Stage Experts could be found.

This stall area was massive and divided into several sections, far beyond the scale of ordinary markets.

The most noticeable was the separation of spaces designated for Qi Refining Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators. The Qi Refining area was bigger and had more foot traffic.

In contrast, the flow of people in the Foundation Establishment area was noticeably lower.

Such differences were normal, as the Cultivation World mainly consisted of low-level cultivators, with Qi Refining Cultivators making up the majority.

As the cultivation level of cultivators increased, the overall number declined accordingly.

Thus, cultivators naturally divided into different circles, with a Qi Refining Cultivator not mingling with Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

However, the stall area was frequented by many looking for treasures without any restrictions on cultivation levels.

In such cases, even in the Qi Refining area, one might come across Golden Core Cultivators.

Because treasures could be overlooked, some might mistake or even fail to recognize valuable items.

Therefore, in the stall area dominated by low-level cultivators, treasures could still be found, albeit with minuscule probability.

Lin Tianming had not had the time to visit these stall areas before, but now that he had some free time, he naturally wanted to explore and gather information about major events happening in Qingzhou Land.

Furthermore, if he could learn something about Wei Kingdom, that would be perfect.

With this intention, Lin Tianming strolled through the stall area.

Walking along a pathway deeper into the area, he observed a continuous stream of cultivators and vendors discreetly interacting.

Lin Tianming’s gaze swept over the stalls, with images of various treasures flashing through his mind.

For ordinary low-level treasures, he naturally had no interest.

However, with the aid of the Eye of Five Colors, he could identify some unique treasures that others might not notice.

Over the years, whenever he visited a market or city, he would stroll through the stall areas. In this way, he had previously purchased some quite decent treasures at very low prices.

Although he couldn’t always be incredibly lucky nor find treasures of the highest grade,

over time, he had come to enjoy hunting for these overlooked treasures.

Today, upon arriving at the site, Lin Tianming looked around and then followed the crowd into the Foundation Establishment stall area, beginning his search.

Shortly after, he spotted a somewhat peculiar token at a Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s stall.

He took a closer look and observed that the surface of the token was just a rusty piece of iron–unremarkable and emitting no aura, impenetrable even to the Divine Sense.

But under the scrutiny of the Eye of Five Colors, he could see the faint contour of a token inside it.

Seeing this object, Lin Tianming recalled the time during his Qi Refinement period when he had acquired the Mysterious Moon Order at Luoyun Market.

At that time, he had also found it in a stall area and subsequently gained an entry into a Secret Realm.

Later, because of the Mysterious Moon Order, he had made substantial gains in the Xuan Yue Mysterious Realm, acquiring Lin Family’s first Nascent Soul Spiritual Item which ultimately facilitated Lin Shikang’s breakthrough into the Golden Core Stage.

It could be said that if not for that Mysterious Moon Order, it would be hard to say whether the Lin Family would have its current status.

Perhaps during the attack by the Demonic Beasts, the Lin Family Clan Grounds would have been razed to the ground, there wouldn’t have been the subsequent battle between the three sects, nor the current situation in Wei Kingdom.

Thinking about it, the Lin Family’s rise had hinged crucially on that Mysterious Moon Order he initially found.

Now, this iron piece seemed to bear some similarities to the Mysterious Moon Order.

“Could this be another key to a Secret Realm or the key to a High Order Cultivator’s Cave Mansion?”
