Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

The high city and deep moat stand before your eyes like a mountain, which is daunting.

The eldest sister explained softly.

"This is the market town hosted by the Immortal Alliance, so it is of the highest standard. The city walls here may not look impressive, but they can withstand the tide of beasts below the Golden Core stage without any damage. There is a large-scale defensive formation set up by a sixth-grade formation master in the market town, which can completely withstand the attack of the Golden Core stage. Even the Nascent Soul cultivator can resist it for a while."

"I see……"

Keqing nodded.

"Oh, by the way, private fighting is not allowed in the market. It will trigger spells above the foundation-building stage, otherwise you will be caught by the guardians. I would like to remind you here."

"But considering your temperament, I don't think there will be any big problems."

"I see."

Keqing nodded. It was natural that fighting was not allowed in such a large gathering place, so she had no doubts. However, she didn't know that not all markets were like this.

After giving some common sense advice, the eldest sister took Keqing towards the city.

There were a lot of people around, but the three-meter-high and two-meter-wide city gate made the road smooth and not crowded.

As a market town established by the Immortal Alliance, the city gate did not charge an entrance fee, nor did it frequently experience conflicts like in smaller markets. Therefore, the two men were hardly stopped and entered the city gate directly.

As soon as she entered the city gate, Keqing felt a special smell of fireworks coming towards her. The bustling crowd and the noisy sounds of the prosperous city made her feel a little satisfied unconsciously.

There were small vendors shouting around, pedestrians laughing and playing on the street, people coming and going, and the fragrance of medicinal herbs and delicious food in the air.

"Sure enough, I still like this kind of lively atmosphere..."

"Ok?"

"nothing……"

"Come on, I know a good weapons shop, I'll take you there."

Seeing Keqing shaking her head, the eldest sister didn't think much about it. She took Keqing's hand and led the way in front.

Keqing paused, then followed calmly.

Chapter 24: The Shopping Sister

Originally, she heard from the senior sister that the market town is usually a place where cultivators gather and communicate. She thought that most of the people here are cultivators. Logically, they should have a fairy-like appearance, or the kind that has a leisurely atmosphere like in a fairyland, and are not affected by the worldly affairs.

For example, Master Liuyunjiefeng or Grandma Ping, but in fact it is different. The scene that Keqing saw seemed no different from the usual bustling market.

There were the same laughter, playfulness, sorrow and anger, the same people hawking like ordinary people to attract business and setting up stalls. Except for the fact that their auras were different, some were strong, some were weak, and the things they sold were unusual, showing that they were not ordinary people, everything seemed to be the same.

But soon, Keqing understood that although they were cultivators, they were still human beings after all... not immortals.

What we have here are just a group of people who possess power. Cultivation is only a way for them to gain power and a means to control their destiny. It cannot make them escape the realm of mortals.

If he can't become an immortal, he will still be a human. She was wrong. This place is different from Teyvat.

Thinking of this, the strange feeling was somewhat dissipated. Compared to the unfamiliar environment, this bustling city made Keqing feel more comfortable.

"right here."

While thinking, the eldest sister brought Keqing to a magnificent three-story building.

On the plaque, there are two characters for "Baoge"

A large character comes into view, and every stroke of it is full of heroism, with a kind of open-mindedness and magnanimity like a flying dragon soaring into the sky.

"Baoge is a large force spread all over Cangzhou. This is a branch in the surrounding Cangshan Mountains. The quality inside is quite good."

Before Keqing could say anything, she was pulled in. A magnificent yet elegant scene came into view. Various items were surrounded by transparent halos and were classified and placed on each shelf.

When the two people came in, a sweet-looking waitress soon came forward to greet them with a smile.

"Two seniors, what do you want?"

"You have robes and weapons here, right? Take us to have a look. We need the kind that..."

The eldest sister paused.

“The kind with excellent quality and appearance.”

Seeing that they were two beautiful female nuns, one of whom was not wearing robes, the attendant understood and hurriedly led the way.

"Of course, we have many magical treasures in our treasure pavilion, which will surely satisfy you two seniors. Please follow me."

The eldest sister nodded, then took Keqing upstairs with ease.

Then Keqing saw another side of the senior sister.

"Well, this dress is nice, elegant and quiet, with a flowing skirt that sets off your beauty. It also has good defensive power, and is engraved with three runes that can also be used as a protective shield to protect the body at critical moments. Hmm? One thousand spirit stones, okay, I'll buy it!"

Before Keqing could react, the eldest senior sister took the skirt and compared it with her. Then, without blinking, she took out the spirit stone and bought the robe. The happy attendant smiled.

"Senior, you have a good eye. This is the work of Master Qingyi. This robe is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has the fragrance of azure flowers when walking. It must be very suitable for you, my friend."

The eldest sister nodded, and before Keqing could react, she pulled her to the other side to look at the clothes she liked.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Keqing, this one is also nice, simple and elegant, and the purple color suits you very well."

Without further ado, after another simple comparison, the clothes were decided.

"Yeah, it's a good fit, I bought it!"

"Well, I think this is enough..."

"How can it be enough? How can a girl not have dozens of clothes prepared?"

Dozens...of items?

Keqing was dumbfounded, but the servant beside her agreed.

"Yes, yes. Not only are the vestments beautiful, they also have dust removal and defense effects. There are so many dangers now, so it's absolutely fine to keep them as a backup."

"..."

Keqing was at a loss for words... She wanted to refute, but the other party evaded her without leaving a trace, so she discovered the following scene:

"This is nice and can be used for daily wear, I bought it!"

"This defense is pretty good, it can be used in battle, I'll buy it!"

"Hmm... this color is nice, thin and translucent, and it also has a rune to balance the temperature difference, so it can be worn when it's hot..."

"Bought it!"

“I bought this.”

“I bought this one too!”

In the end, there was no need to even compare. The senior sister would decide on the one she liked.

Keqing wanted to ask, didn't we agree to buy only defensive robes? How come even her daily clothes have been reserved in advance?

"That's enough, that's enough..."

She tried her best to stop him, and he finally stopped as if he was still not satisfied.

"Hey, is that enough?"

But she felt it was a little too little.

"That's enough! That's definitely enough!"

Looking at the dozens of sets of clothes and the smiling face of the female servants beside her, Keqing looked helpless.

She will need so many clothes forever.

Could it be that Senior Sister has been tricked into doing this? In Liyue, there are many such methods of using psychological siege to guide customers to consume.

But look at the way the other person enjoys it and the clarity in his eyes.

In the end, nothing was said.

"Oh, by the way, there are still some weapons that haven't been purchased yet."

The eldest sister suddenly realized, and then pulled Keqing up to the third floor.

Then she started to choose from the dazzling array of weapons. However, this time Keqing refused to let the senior sister choose, for fear that she would buy everything without looking at anything.

The eldest sister smiled softly and did not intervene. As for weapons, it is better to choose one that you like.

But seeing Fellow Daoist Keqing rushing to stop me like that, she was really a bit... cute.

Want rua~

……

Seeing that the generous senior stopped making any moves and the guest next to him was extremely rational, the waitress, although a little disappointed, put on a smile again and started introducing the guests.

"This is the Taihe Sword. It is made entirely of dense gold and stone. It is extremely hard and weighs a hundred kilograms. There are five weapon symbols engraved on it. It has a sharp blade effect. It is a rare third-level magic sword."

Seeing that Keqing didn't react, the female attendant was not disappointed and continued to introduce the next one.

"This is the Green Lotus Sword, made from the green steel stone beneath the green lotus leaves. It is light and ethereal, like a shadow following the wind. It has excellent plasticity and is engraved with six weapon symbols. It can increase the speed of the sword holder by 10%. It can be said to be the best among the fourth-tier magic weapons."

However, the woman in front of him still had no expression and seemed a little difficult to deal with.

The waitress thought to herself and had to introduce it again.

However, as the introductions continued, the woman in front of him did not change at all. The long swords that ordinary people seemed to be excited about were only

It looked like an ordinary inconspicuous weapon, without any movement.

"Um... guest, what do you think?"

Although she was asking, based on her experience, it seemed that the deal could not be done, and the waitress sighed inwardly.

In fact, Keqing really didn't have any feeling about the various top-grade magic swords in front of her. Although she knew that the materials were very precious, she didn't have any sense of reality. Moreover, swords and the like were just external objects in her eyes.

If possible, she even wanted to pick one and leave, but looking at the smiles and kindness of the people around her, Keqing had no choice but to look for something suitable again.

Just as she glanced to one side, her sight suddenly fell on an ordinary-looking rapier in a remote corner.

"This sword... is?"

Chapter 25: The Evil Sword

It was a silver-white sword with light purple lines densely wrapped around the sword like a pattern, which had an extraordinary beauty.

The blade part is slightly darker and darker gray, with a cold edge throughout, while the back of the sword is silver-white, giving a warm and harmless feeling.

Compared to the beauty of the sword body, the hilt is rather ordinary, except for a small tassel hanging behind the hilt, on which is a thumb-sized purple jade bead.

"This sword?"

The female attendant was startled, and followed the line of sight, only then did she notice the sword in the corner.

"Ah, sir, you are talking about this... this sword..."

The maid paused.

"The Pavilion Master said this sword is free, and whoever can take it can take it away."

"for free?"

Keqing became interested, and even the senior sister beside her looked at it curiously. The sword looked ordinary. Although it looked good, the material was something they had never seen before, and there was no spiritual energy at all.

"Is this not an ordinary sword?"

She guessed.

"That's not the case, it's just that this sword has some evil nature."

The maid shook her head.

"This sword was obtained by the Pavilion Master by accident. Although we don't know what material it is made of, it is extremely hard and comparable to a spiritual treasure."

"Isn't this amazing? Why should I give it away for free..."

The eldest sister asked doubtfully.

But the female servant looked helpless.

"My dear, you don't know that this sword has some evil properties. Anyone who gets this sword will always encounter some bad things."

"for example?"

"For example, when walking on the road, you step on dog shit for no reason; when you are clearly hunting together, the monster attacks only you; when your Taoist partner who has been together for many years is suddenly cheated on."

"In short, it is a very evil sword. Even if you want to throw it away, the sword will reappear the next day. Therefore, every time we sell this sword, the customer will always come back after a while and ask us for compensation."

"There is no other way. We can only compensate the other party for their losses, and this sword will be left here, with no one interested in it."
