Cultivation begins with harvest.

"Zhao Li should be this Zhao Yaoli. 'Autumn is full of osmanthus, winter is full of glory' is the genealogy of the Zhao family for several generations. He is definitely a direct descendant."

"However, he entered the main lineage based on his cultivation level, so he was not required to choose a generation name. But the fact that he was not selected shows that the Zhao family clearly had a rift with him. As a result, the clan did not give him much importance. He was also unwilling to take a wife and have children, so he was a completely marginal figure within the Zhao family. Although he was in the late stage of Qi Refining, he could only live at the foot of Yunlao Mountain. Before returning to the Zhao family, he had been wandering around the wilderness. We don't know exactly where he went, but we have confirmed that he is a member of our clan."

"As for Zhao Qiushi, he is quite wealthy and has a wide circle of friends. There are some rumors circulating that he is ruthless. We have confirmed that he has indeed bullied others and formed cliques, but apart from that, he has not done anything else improper."

The red-faced man personally examined Chen Guang.

The Qingheng Sect had a far-reaching influence, and the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall was an imitation of some of the Qingheng Sect's systems. However, the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall was indeed carefully managed and was not made into a mere decoration.

They could even obtain some basic information about Zhao Li's life, but both the detail and accuracy of this information remain to be verified. Whether due to the Zhao family's background or Chen Guang's status, all they could obtain was this simple information.

After thanking the monks at the ancestral hall, Chen Guangcai leisurely strolled around the Dongdufang market.

He had a second objective this time. It didn't matter if he couldn't achieve the first objective of capturing the wood juice, but the second objective was something he absolutely had to do—buy a few storage artifacts.

Chen Guang required that the body be small in size but have a wealth of internal features.

A single Black Void Serpent Belt, even with the addition of the Empty Spirit Pouch, is only sufficient for the current stage. As time goes on and one accumulates more and more spiritual items, the need for storage spiritual artifacts will increase day by day.

Chen Guang joined the crowd, wandering between shops, going in and out several times, and quietly put on the ice silk face covering, while also changing his clothes and other appearance.

The Ice Silk Face Mask is a mid-grade spiritual artifact, obtained from the accumulated harvest of the Ice Tail Shrimp. It can make one's aura extremely restrained and cold. When it adheres to the skin like a spider web, Chen Guang's entire temperament changes drastically. Even when he looks at himself, he feels like a strange person with a thinner face. With a little change in appearance, the overall change is not significant, but it is as if he has become a different person.

Even without using the technique of concealing one's breath, one's aura has reached a level that ordinary aura-observation techniques cannot detect.

"As expected of a mid-grade spiritual weapon."

Chen Guang put away the mirror and then turned to the largest shop in Dongdu Market.

There are also shops belonging to the Zhao family of Dongdu in Xingfeng Market, but none are as magnificent as this one: the counters made of precious, glossy, and spiritually vibrant red-sleeved wood exude a refreshing fragrance, and the shop ceiling is covered with a cloud of slightly blue mist that constantly contracts and expands as people move around.

Each waiter was dressed in exquisite clothing, and their every movement and glance was perfectly controlled as they moved between the counters, providing service to the customers.

"I want a high-quality storage artifact," Chen Guang said to the attendant who approached him, his voice becoming somewhat low and cold due to the ice silk covering his face.

"On the third floor of the East Box Building, there are some storage magical artifacts for sale. Would you like to take a look?" the attendant said, bowing slightly.

"Hmm." Chen Guang responded coldly, but the attendant hurriedly walked in front of him. At the same time, a row of bricks in front of Chen Guang lit up with a light that was not bright but not easy to ignore, and extended all the way upstairs. The light disappeared after Chen Guang stepped on them.

Such a small design doesn't require too many complicated skills to complete, but it gives Chen Guang a different feeling, like being treated as a distinguished guest.

The counter on the first floor is made of warm red wood that exudes a fragrance like a female companion, and the goods displayed on it are mainly elixirs and some exquisite spiritual items.

The second floor suddenly became much hotter, so we used the [Shangcha Jade], which changes color when you get close, to place more books, jade slips, and other spiritual items such as secret techniques.

Like ice stone, Shangcha jade is widely used in many places that require monitoring and supervision.

Upon reaching the third floor, the flow of people suddenly thinned out considerably. The counters were all covered with long carpets woven from dark, smoky [Hidden Scale Velvet], which moved Chen Guang slightly. With a little sensing, he indeed detected the location of the formation.

The Hidden Scale Velvet bears some traces of the Dao of the Universe. Although the details of the things inside can be seen in the smoke it naturally emits, it is extremely troublesome to obtain. With the help of the formation, the possibility of forcibly taking it is basically eliminated. It is an extremely valuable spiritual object in itself.

Chen Guang slowed his pace and carefully examined the various spiritual items displayed in the counter.

Even rare spiritual items that were hard to find before, such as Mangli wood and the scales of the Skywing Butterfly, have appeared here. At the same time, treasures such as array plates and mid-grade spiritual artifacts can also be found here.

"Guest, the third floor is different from the first two floors. If you want to buy things here, you need to have the 'Eastern Box Token' first," the attendant walking in front suddenly said.

Although the other party was leading the way, he always kept pace with Chen Guang. He went fast when Chen Guang went fast and slow when Chen Guang went slow, doing his best.

Upon hearing the order for the Eastern Box, Chen Guang felt a sense of unease rising within him.

Sure enough, the servant began by saying something that Chen Guang had heard countless times in both his past and present lives.

Basically, those who hold the Dongdu Token are all VIPs of the Dongdu Market. They can be obtained for free by accumulating 10,000 Sui Yuan in spending or by purchasing items at auctions in the Dongdu Market. Alternatively, they can apply for it voluntarily for 1,000 Sui Yuan per year.

There are four levels of Dongdu Tokens to choose from, ranging from the most basic "Golden Pattern Dongdu Token" to the "Cloud Pattern Dongdu Token" which offers a 20% discount on all tokens. As for the rules about how many years each Dongdu Token must have to reach in order to receive a free bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill, Chen Guang simply ignored them.

In short, the items on the third floor require at least a Golden Pattern Eastern Box Token to purchase, while cultivation techniques, array plates, and the like require even higher-level Eastern Box Tokens.

During the conversation, Chen Guang arrived in front of the storage artifacts. There were four different styles of storage artifacts for Chen Guang to choose from, all of which could be purchased with the most basic Golden Pattern Eastern Box Token.

There are only two types: the ethereal gourd with three-sided space priced at 5,200 yuan; and the brocade bag with less than three-sided space priced at 4,000 yuan.

The rest of the storage artifacts don't have a fixed shape or size. They are all made by rogue cultivators who capture spirit beasts or demon beasts with rich traces of the universe and collect their parts. The internal space also varies in size. Chen Guang's Black Void Serpent Belt can be considered one of these.

The Ethereal Gourd is produced by the Qingyun Family, while the Brocade Bag is produced by a southern sect. Because of their abundant production and ease of concealment, they are very popular among independent cultivators. However, the price of four thousand silver coins is still enough to deter many independent cultivators.

The attendant simply stayed by Chen Guang's side, neither urging him nor deliberately bringing up anything about the Eastern Box Order, but simply waiting for Chen Guang's decision.

"Alright, take me to see your appraiser." Chen Guang finally spoke after examining all the storage artifacts.
