As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 898 Wanbao Spirit Goods Store

"No wonder, so they are from the capital of Da Yan Province. That's why even a cultivator at the Dan Tian Realm has to have his pride broken and be put in shackles."

"Is Yan Chen's arrival at this time, like other territorial forces, to recruit talent?"

"We should add that it's for fire-type cultivators."

Someone curled their lip, "After all, apart from fire-type cultivators, I'm afraid no cultivator would be willing to set foot in the capital of Da Yan Province!"

The chatter didn't stop until the people from the capital of Da Yan province had passed, after which everyone focused on the people entering the city next.

"It is Lingxuan Academy, one of the five major academies."

Soon, the distinctive light blue uniforms of Lingxuan Academy came into view. In the world of cultivators, the five major academies were probably even more prestigious than the capital city of Da Yan. Many cultivators hoped to join one of the five major academies in pursuit of immortality or power.

Upon seeing the students and elders of Lingxuan Academy, many people couldn't help but exclaim.

"We've already seen three of the five major academies. The five major academies are the undisputed top five in the power competition, so to be honest, there's not much to see anymore. I just wonder which academy will be able to claim the throne this time."

"With five days left until the power competition, Mingxiao City is getting more and more lively. Caravans that we never saw before have also come to Mingxiao City. I wonder what treasures they have."

At this point, everyone drank their tea and wine faster, planning to stroll around the streets to see if they could find any treasures.

The most prosperous place in Mingxiao is Zhongshu City, and the most prosperous areas in Zhongshu City include Fengli Street, Yuquan City, Ziyun Palace, Hengxiang and other places.

Unlike previous years, this year quite a few people were seen riding on flying swords, soaring through the air.

Although the Cloud-Swallowing Flying Sword appeared once in the power competition five years ago, and some people from other places may have known about the existence of this magical artifact, the number of Cloud-Swallowing Flying Swords that were forged at that time was very limited, so it did not spread to other places.

In recent years, thanks to Da Su's promotion, flying swords have finally become popular in Yun Shang, especially in Mingxiao City.

Some visitors from other places were astonished, "Their cultivation levels are clearly below the Sea of ​​Consciousness Realm, some are even only at the Spirit Gathering Realm, yet they can fly?!"

Those who were unaware of the situation quickly realized that this must be the function of the magical artifact beneath their feet.

He couldn't help but become curious about this magical artifact that could help cultivators fly, so he asked around to find out where he could buy such a magical artifact.

"This kind of flying sword? There's a shop called Duobao Linghuo in Qushui Tower that sells these kinds of flying swords. You're from out of town, right? If you want to try the food in Mingxiao, you can also go to Qushui Tower. The dishes there are superb, and they also have the number one spirit wine in Mingxiao. It would be a shame to miss it."

"Yeah, yeah, they recently released a lobster with thirteen spices... I can't help it, just thinking about it makes my mouth water!"

Many people recommend Qushuilou, mostly well-meaning and enthusiastic individuals, but there are also some who are deliberately trying to mislead people.

Visitors from other places became interested after seeing many people recommending Qushuilou, thinking, "It sounds like a must-visit place in Mingxiao City." Naturally, while some people recommended Qushuilou in Hengxiang, there were also competitors trying to discredit it.

"Qushui Tower? Forget about it. That building only treats the rich with utmost respect. The servants at Qushui Tower don't treat us ordinary people well at all!"

"It's not as good as Yuquan City. After all, it's an old chamber of commerce that has stood for a hundred years. It's been there since the founding of Mingxiao Academy. If you want to keep Taobao customers, you still have to go to Yuquan City!"

"I'm giving away free maps of Mingxiao City! A newly drawn full map of Mingxiao City, detailed maps of the city's markets, and even a spirit goods shop where you can buy and sell flying swords that can carry people and soar through the clouds—it's all drawn clearly!"

In the streets, some people wearing brown headscarves and carrying satchels smiled broadly. When they saw someone approaching to pick up a map, they would bow slightly and hand over the scroll of paper in their hands.

"A free map? Is this map reliable?" A pedestrian asked hesitantly, half-believing, as he took the map.

The man delivering the map spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, slightly hoarse but clear and easy to hear: “Don’t worry, this map was just drawn in May. With this power competition, people from all over the continent are flocking to Mingxiao City. We’re giving out maps for free because we want people to have a better impression of Mingxiao City.”

The person who delivered the map patted his chest, appearing as a patron of the city, which greatly enhanced his credibility.

"Where can I buy a flying sword? There are two places: Duobao Spiritual Goods Shop in Heng Alley and Wanbao Spiritual Goods Shop on Fengli Street. The latter's flying swords are a bit cheaper than Duobao Spiritual Goods Shop's. Their Mist-Swallowing Flying Sword is pretty good. Many people I know have bought from Wanbao Shop and the feedback has been good. However, I don't have much money and haven't bought one yet, so I don't really know how it is. These are just the opinions of people around me. If you're interested, you can go and check it out for yourself!"

"You're going to Duobao Spiritual Goods Shop? Hmm..." The man handing out maps hesitated, as if he wanted to remind someone of something, but finally smiled helplessly, said nothing, and patiently gave directions to passersby. He pointed to the map with his finger, "Go this way..."

"What's wrong with Duobao Linghuo Store?" The pedestrian asking for directions was suspicious when he saw the expression on the person handing out the map, so he asked a few more questions.

The man delivering the map scratched his head sheepishly. “It’s nothing. The flying swords at Duobao Spirit Goods Shop are pretty good… well… but brother, when it comes to business, you have to compare prices from different shops to find out which flying sword is better.”

After saying that, the man who gave out the map stopped talking to the pedestrian who asked for directions, smiled, and gave directions to another person who came to ask for a map.

"..."

The man looked at the man who delivered the map, then glanced at the map in his hand. Remembering what the man had said, he paused in his steps, which were originally heading towards Heng Lane, and walked in the other direction.

There are quite a few people who are guided in this way.

……

Wanbao Linghuo Store is located in a fairly bustling downtown area. Its decor is quite rugged. Upon entering the store, a strong metallic aura hits you. The ceiling is supported by huge black iron beams, with iron chains wrapped around them, from which hang lamps emitting a dim yellow light. The lights flicker, casting mottled shadows on the surrounding walls.

Anyone familiar with interior design would have a strong sense of déjà vu upon seeing it, as the decor of Duobao Spirit Goods Shop is extremely similar to that of the famous "Yuchi Pavilion" Spirit Goods Shop in Mingxiao City.

However, few people who come to buy Buddhist artifacts complain about the shop's decor. On the contrary, some people see the shop's familiar appearance and remember that the items in such shops are usually quite good, so they go in to take a look.
