White Snake: I am a Swordsman

Chapter 18 It's a Good Cheap for You

Lakeside Market was founded during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty. It has experienced some changes in history, but it has always stood firm. After years of development, it has now become a gathering place for people who practice cultivation in Hangzhou.

Xiaobai and Xiaoqing arrived at the entrance of the market town.

This place looks like a rugged rock wall with no way to go, but it is actually a simple illusion.

If you have some skills, you will be able to see through the mystery.

"Xiaoqing, after you go in, follow me and don't use any magic power." Xiaobai stopped in front of the magic array, turned around and warned Xiaoqing seriously.

Xiaoqing nodded and said nonchalantly, "I understand, sister. As long as we don't use magic power, these things on our bodies can cover up our evil spirits. You have emphasized this many times."

Xiaobai pursed his lips.

This was her first time in such a place and she felt a little nervous.

After entering, there are human practitioners everywhere. Once she and Xiaoqing reveal their identities as monsters, they will face a fierce battle.

Although they have powerful magic, they are all unconventional.

Without any magic weapon or powerful spells, it is hard to tell who will win if he really fights with a group of practitioners.

She finally found Xu Xian and just wanted to stay away from the entanglement between gods and demons and live a hundred years of peaceful life.

Coming here is helpless.

"Let's go in." Xiaobai whispered.

rustling --

Just then, she heard footsteps behind her.

She suddenly became nervous.

who?

She was totally unaware until she heard footsteps!

Xiaoqing also became alert.

They looked behind them and saw a strange man wearing a cloak and a hat even though it was not raining.

There was a black veil hanging from the strange man's hat, covering his face completely as if he couldn't stand the light.

"Who are you?" Xiaoqing asked vigilantly.

"I am whoever you two are." A hoarse voice came from under the bamboo hat. The strange man ignored Xiaoqing and Xiaobai as air, walked straight to the rock wall, and stepped in without hesitation.

Several layers of azure blue water waves spread out on the rock wall and swallowed up the monster's body.

Xiaobai became even more nervous.

Before entering the market, I met a mysterious practitioner.

But now that we are here, we can’t go back empty-handed.

She exchanged a glance with Xiaoqing and whispered, "Let's go in too. Remember, no matter what happens, don't use your magic power."

Xiaoqing nodded, obviously more serious.

Xiaobai took Xiaoqing's hand, took a deep breath, and stepped into the rock wall.

They disappeared without a trace.

The hundreds of hectares of clear lake water like glass, looking down from the air, looks like a sapphire inlaid in the earth.

The lakeside market is here.

There are thatched huts of various shapes by the lake. Some of them are empty, but most of them have practitioners selling things.

They don't shout out their wares, but let customers see for themselves.

At most, you can put up a sign in front of the stall and write down what you have and what you need.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the market town is very peaceful.

Xiaobai looked around the entire market town and saw three or four hundred people. He became even more nervous, but he didn't show it on his face.

"There are so many people here, I'm sure I can exchange for what my sister needs!" Xiaoqing was a little excited.

Xiaobai nodded slightly.

She wanted to find the strange man in the bamboo hat who had entered the market before them, but after looking around for a few times and scanning everyone with her eyes, she couldn't find the strange man.

The weirdo seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Xiaobai felt a little strange, but didn't care too much. She took Xiaoqing's hand and walked towards the nearest straw hut.

"Fellow Daoist, take a look!" the stall owner said enthusiastically, "This is my calligraphy that I have practiced for 200 years. Just give me something and I will write a piece of calligraphy for you. It doesn't matter what you write!"

Yes, this is a stall selling calligraphy.

There was a piece of black cloth under the stall owner's feet, on which were placed many calligraphy works, the brush strokes were like dragons and snakes, revealing a unique charm. Xiaobai was a little confused.

Xiao Qing asked directly: "What's the use of your calligraphy? Can your calligraphy improve your cultivation?"

The stall owner shook his head: "No."

"Then it's useless!" Xiaoqing pulled Xiaobai to the next stall, "Sister, let's go!"

The stall owner sighed softly, looking lonely.

Soon, Xiaobai and Xiaoqing took a walk around the market.

They exchanged for some spiritual herbs, but they were only one or two hundred years old. All together, the effect was not even one percent of the pot of medicine last night.

However, there are good things in the market.

Xiaobai took Xiaoqing's hand and came to the stall they had visited once.

Here is a bottle of Guyuan Dan.

According to the stall owner, Guyuan Dan has the effect of strengthening the body and replenishing the vital energy, and is suitable for people who have damaged their vital energy.

There are three pills in a bottle, which should be able to replenish a lot.

But the stall owner has shifty eyes and looks difficult to deal with.

"Fellow Daoist, does your Guyuan Pill really have the effect of strengthening the body and replenishing the vital energy?" Xiaobai asked.

"I am a disciple of Taoist Qingdan, and I have a certain reputation in this lakeside market. I would not deceive you about the efficacy of the medicine." The stall owner twirled his beard and looked Xiaobai and Xiaoqing up and down.

Xiaobai untied the cloth bag he was carrying, took out a skull from it and placed it in front of the stall owner.

The stall owner took the opportunity to take a peek into the bag.

"I'll use this demon bone to exchange for Daoist friend's Peiyuan Pill." Xiaobai asked nervously, "Is it enough?"

This demon bone comes from a cat demon.

The old cat was very powerful and actually wanted to eat Xiaoqing. Later, she and Xiaoqing strangled it to death and obtained this tempered skull.

The skull is so hard that ordinary swords and knives cannot leave any marks on it.

"Not enough, not enough." The stall owner shook his head with a look of disgust.

Xiao Bai pursed his lips, took out a dark thirteen-leaf clover from his bag, and placed it in front of the stall owner: "With this poisonous grass, is it enough?"

This poisonous weed was found at the bottom of the cold pond.

The poison is extremely strong. Just a small crack on a leaf will cause all the fish in the cold pond to turn over.

The stall owner was secretly happy.

He recognized at a glance that it was the extremely poisonous Soul-Captivating Thirteen Leaves. It was as black as ink and had grown for at least six hundred years. It was more than enough to exchange for his Yuan-Consolidating Pill!

"Not enough, far from it." He said with a straight face.

Xiaobai frowned as she took the last item out of her bag.

This is a dagger that can cut hair with a single blow.

Two hundred years ago, a cultivator attempted to assassinate her, but she drove him away, leaving behind this dagger.

The stall owner picked up the dagger and looked at it. He could hardly hide the joy on his face, but he still shook his head: "Not enough, still a little short."

"It's not enough?" Xiao Qing couldn't help but said, "This is a magic weapon!"

Xiaoqing had a very loud voice, attracting the attention of other practitioners around.

The stall owner's expression suddenly changed. He shouted in a low voice: "Why are you shouting? I said it's not enough, but it's not far off!"

Xiaobai took a deep breath. She was just naive, not stupid.

She was sure that the three things she gave were worth more than the Peiyuan Pill.

But she really needs Peiyuan Dan.

She swallowed her anger and said, "Fellow Daoist, I really don't have anything else to exchange. Can you please be flexible and let me exchange these three things for your Pei Yuan Dan?"

Gone? The stall owner's eyes wandered around.

Finally, his eyes fell on the pearl hairpin on Xiaobai's head.

He stopped pretending and said greedily, "How about this, if you add the pearl hairpin on your head, I will give you the Peiyuan Pill."

"That's a bargain for you!"

Without waiting for Xiaobai's response, he reached out and grabbed the pearl hairpin on Xiaobai's head.
