I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 610 The Pagoda of Myriad Treasures

How can this item be exchanged?

"I'll trade you three immortal herbs. If not, move aside and don't block the next person."

"Come and take a look at the treasures found in the Land of Fallen Immortals."

……

The cries of vendors filled the air, giving Jiang Wen the illusion that he had stumbled upon a bustling market in the Great Qian Dynasty. Whether it was a gathering of immortal sects or the territory of the Hundred Streams Divine Capital, trade was always a common form of communication between different races.

Jiang Wen didn't find this strange; instead, he felt a pang of regret.

If Bai Xi is truly a descendant of the migrating races of Taicang, then this situation is actually a regression. Back when Tianyuan City was established, he set forth a system of trade. All races traveling within Tianyuan City used his system of exchanging currency for goods. When he returned to Tianyuan City, he witnessed a scene of vibrant life and abundance.

The commercial development of Tianyuan City is far beyond imagination, and it is even more prosperous than the current Daqian Dynasty.

Ultimately, this world hasn't changed much in hundreds of thousands of years. Immortal sects and cultivators are the eternal themes of this world.

This can be considered a difference between the ideal world and the material world.

Jiang Wen sighed a few times, but didn't have any major thoughts. Trying to change the world using modern logic was clearly a highly improbable endeavor.

When immense power is concentrated in an individual, and the world can be destroyed with a mere gesture, then the compulsory education he received is no longer suitable for this world.

Putting aside his emotions, Jiang Wen surveyed the street in the area, a place where many different ethnic groups gathered.

The territory is vast and expansive, yet also quite small. There aren't many bustling places, but Wanli Street is one of them.

Wanli Street doesn't actually have a name of Wanli; it's just that the person who built the street was named Wanli.

A long street stretches along the underground river, seemingly without end.

The area was lined with various earthen houses, and the earthen walls were dotted with caves. Compared to the capital city, the population density here was clearly much higher.

The banks of the underground river, hundreds of feet high, are filled with caves, and people of various ethnic groups go up and down constantly.

The streets were covered with glowing moss, and shadows moved back and forth in the river.

According to Yanming, they are a tribe of frogmen who live in an underground river.

Jiang Wen surveyed his surroundings with great interest, this time without using his divine sense to scan the market. Building such a vast market street was no easy feat. While he wasn't afraid of Saint-level experts, he didn't want to get into any trouble. He had two purposes in coming to Baixi Divine Capital: one was to find a way out, and the other was to take the opportunity to spy on the Baixi tribe's secrets.

His intuition told him that this world held a great secret he wanted to know. As a cultivator who was halfway to becoming a saint, Jiang Wen still trusted his intuition.

Looking around, he reached out and rummaged through the items displayed on the stall. They were all just trinkets, and although some of them seemed to have an extraordinary origin and looked impressive, Jiang Wen was somewhat disappointed after a brief examination.

These are remnants from the ancient times, their spiritual essence long since vanished. Even if restored, they would only yield a slightly more powerful weapon. They're hardly worthy of being used as magical artifacts, let alone magic treasures.

Jiang Wen has his own Heavenly Sword, and with the addition of the wooden whip, he'll be fine. As for the treasure, that's up to fate.

After wandering around for a while without finding any treasures he liked, Jiang Wen was somewhat disappointed. It seemed that this place was nothing special after all.

Just as I was wondering whether I should just change to something else, Yanming came over carrying a huge pile of things.

"Haha, Brother Jiang, do you have anything you like?"

"Not yet," Jiang Wen shook his head. He glanced at the basket on Yan Ming's back and asked, "Have you changed?"

"It's all changed, these are all things we use ourselves. This trip to the Fallen Immortal Land was quite fruitful, at least we'll have no worries this year." Yan Ming chuckled and patted the basket and the large bag on his shoulder, expressing his gratitude to Jiang Wen.

"If it weren't for Brother Jiang's few good plants, we'd probably still be wandering around in the Fallen Immortal Land right now."

“No need for that,” Jiang Wen said with a smile. “If you’ve finished exchanging your things, then we’ll go back.” “Brother Jiang, did you really not find anything you liked?” Yan Ming asked again.

“Yes,” Jiang Wen nodded. “There’s nothing good here.”

“In that case, I have a good place to go. I might be able to find something that will satisfy Brother Jiang.”

Yanming whispered mysteriously to Jiang Wen, a confident look on his stubborn face.

“That place is absolutely wonderful. As long as Brother Jiang can afford the price, he can get some great treasures.”

"Really?" Jiang Wen immediately became interested. He didn't have much else in his storage bag, but he had a huge pile of spirit stones. The Baixi tribe was extremely short of spirit stones, and he was confident he could buy anything.

The two set off immediately, with Yanming taking the lead and guiding Jiang Wen deeper into Wanli Street.

After passing through several deep tunnels, we descended hundreds of feet underground.

They arrived at a cave, which was bustling with visitors. A hundred burly men with green skin and weapons stood guard at the entrance.

As they saw the two approaching, they asked, "Who are you? What brings you here?"

Yanming remained calm and took out a stone tablet from his clothes, tossing it to the burly man at the head of the group: "We're here to get good stuff, of course."

The burly man examined the stone tablet, then tossed it to Yanming and nodded, "Since you have the token, you can go in. But you should know the rules inside, so don't break them."

"Don't worry, we're here to retrieve treasures, not to fight and kill," Yanming said, patting his chest and laughing.

The burly men let them pass, and Jiang Wen and Yan Ming entered the cave.

The cave was very long and spacious, yet it didn't feel crowded despite the bustling crowd. Above the main cave were various smaller caves, each seemingly inhabited by a different tribe.

Only when a figure flew out from a small cave did he get a clear look at the appearance of this tribe.

They resemble bats, but have human bodies. Their limbs are sharp claws and teeth, but their heads are no different from those of ordinary people. Their eyes gleam in the darkness, and they can take flight.

"That's the Bat-People, a race that lives in the terrestrial realm. They prefer to be out at night, and their strength should not be underestimated. They can be considered a major race in the terrestrial realm," Yan Ming explained in a low voice.

"The Bat-People? Interesting," Jiang Wen muttered to himself. He wasn't too surprised by the appearances of the various tribes of Baixi anymore.

Anyone who looks even remotely human can usually be called a human.

The passageway was several miles long, but the two walked very quickly.

Before long, they emerged from the passage, and light returned to their eyes.

The warm white light illuminated the entire cave, allowing people to see everything clearly.

This was a colossal cave, dozens of miles high. A huge, round bead was embedded in its ceiling, illuminating the entire cave with a soft white light. The cave was enormous, comparable to some of the major cities in Jiang Wen's world.

The various trading houses were stacked one on top of another, like a pyramid. The stone walls were riddled with countless caves, which were filled with bat-men.

This enormous cave is clearly the territory of the bat-people.

Yanming pointed to the earthen pyramid in front of him and said excitedly to Jiang Wen, "Look at that place, that's the Pagoda of Ten Thousand Treasures in the underworld. You can find anything you want in this Pagoda of Ten Thousand Treasures."

"The Pagoda of Ten Thousand Treasures? Interesting." Jiang Wen looked at the pagoda with a smile. He looked at everything with great interest, wondering if there was anything he wanted inside.

"Let's go and take a look inside this Pagoda of Ten Thousand Treasures."
