193: Flowers, birds, fish and insects

The white-robed Cultivator and the Alchemist in the middle seemed to belong to the same Family.

Their attire was identical, though there was a large character "Qin" on the left side of their chests.

Gu Changan pondered to himself, could this be the Qin Family from within the Treasure Pavilion?

The Qin Family that refined sixty percent of the Medicinal Pills on the market?

Looking at the surrounding Cultivators, most of them had unreadable expressions in their eyes.

However, most of their eyes held respect and envy.

Some people wanted to steal the craft, hoping to learn a trick or two.

They stared quietly at every move the white-robed Alchemist made, not missing a single detail.

Other Cultivators were bent at the waist, maintaining a respectful posture.

They didn't watch the Alchemist's movements but just waited quietly; it seemed they were here for Alchemy?

Could this be live Alchemy?

Gu Changan pondered to himself, if Alchemy could be performed here.

Then should he still go directly to trade for his core formation pill?

Could it be refined here?

However, he immediately dismissed his own thought.

This was likely for refining ordinary Medicinal Pills; this young Alchemist was probably using these pills to practice!

In this black market, it attracted most Loose Cultivators to come for Alchemy.

This young Alchemist could use these Materials to practice, increasing his Alchemy success rate.

He could also extract some Medicinal Pills as the fee for Alchemy.

Finally, he could also earn some reputation for the Family.

It was simply killing three birds with one stone!

Moreover, Loose Cultivators had no channels for Alchemy, and selling some Spirit Medicine to shops was quite a disadvantage.

So bringing them for Alchemy was also gambling on a return!

Gu Changan instantly withdrew his thoughts; one really shouldn't underestimate anyone in any world!

Then here, it was highly likely that a core formation pill could not be refined.

Anyone capable of refining a core formation pill should at least be an elder, or a third or fourth-grade Alchemist.

Gu Changan withdrew his curious gaze and began to walk inside.

Along the way, there were stalls selling all sorts of things.

The stretch at the city gate was relatively quiet, after all, the Qin Family was practicing Alchemy there.

Other stall owners didn't dare to shout loudly.

From this, one could see the privileges of the families within the Treasure Pavilion.

It wasn't until he passed two small alleys that the shouting grew louder.

At this moment, on the left, there were dense rows of potted plants, with various unknown plants on them.

Among them, Gu Changan recognized one: Spirit Rice!

He couldn't recognize the others and didn't know what their purpose was.

But based on his judgment, they shouldn't be Spirit Medicine, because these spiritual plants were all very tall.

The most eye-catching one was a flower bud the size of a washbasin.

The wafts of floral fragrance from it made Gu Changan drool.

But seeing that this thing couldn't be eaten, he turned and left directly.

Some other spiritual plants grew as tall as a person; perhaps they were flowers and plants with other uses.

Gu Changan wasn't interested in these.

Passing the spiritual plant area, further inside were all kinds of animals.

A stall nearby displayed various aquatic products.

Among them, one fish had 4 legs, and each leg had 5 toes.

The entire fish body was covered in golden scales, but the 4 legs were blue and bark-like.

Gu Changan glanced at it twice and stopped paying attention.

He didn't want to be curious about what its name was or what its purpose was!

It felt like this kind of fish had mutated.

Walking two more steps, this was the spiritual bird area, where all kinds of flowers, birds, fish, and insects were available.

Gu Changan's gaze fell on a familiar figure, which looked roughly like a parrot from his past life.

The feathers on its body were layered, with every color of the rainbow.

Its two wings were yellow, and the feathers around its neck were in circles, with each circle a different color.

The feathers on its entire head were red, and a white antenna extended from the top of its head, with a small black lantern at the tip of the antenna.

Its appearance was very unique!

Everything else was similar to a parrot!

If there was one difference, it was the parrot's beak.

The parrots in his past life had beaks that hooked downward, but this parrot's beak curled upward.

It was also because it was similar to the parrots from his past life that he took a few extra looks.

Just as he was about to pass by, he heard a Cultivator nearby offer 300,000 Spirit Stones.

Gu Changan was instantly shocked; this crappy parrot was worth 300,000 Spirit Stones?

What was it used for?

Gu Changan instantly perked up his ears, slowed his pace, and stopped to watch.

The stall owner insisted on 320,000 Spirit Stones and wouldn't budge, so the two were haggling there.

The Cultivator who made the offer: "You're selling this crappy bird so expensively!"

"The treasure-seeking mouse next to this is only 300,000 Spirit Stones, so tell me, why is your bird so expensive?"

The stall owner didn't indulge him: "My bird is beautiful!"

"It can also recognize the way; just inject a trace of your Spiritual Sense into this bird to acknowledge you as its master!"

"After acknowledging you as its master, no matter where you are, it can sense your position based on the Divine Soul in its brain."

A look of surprise flashed in Gu Changan's eyes!

So that was it; this was actually a positioning bird!

As long as you bought it and it acknowledged you as its master, your Family could sense your position at all times.

Either to carry out a rescue or to transmit messages.

Looking at it this way, it was indeed much stronger than that treasure-seeking mouse.

The treasure-seeking mouse could only seek treasure; in this era of scarce Spiritual Qi, there weren't that many treasures.

Its function naturally wasn't that great.

But the positioning bird was different; with it, it could save your life at critical moments.

Gu Changan shook his head and continued walking inside; the stalls nearby displayed all sorts of strange and weird things.

Some were Magical Artifacts, some were Materials, but he couldn't recognize most of them.

Gu Changan observed the changes in the Treasure Qi on these items; most of them were Crimson Treasure Qi and Orange Treasure Qi.

There was also a lot of yellow treasure aura, but most of it was on the Cultivators.

These people were all Golden Core Stage Cultivators, and occasionally some were on Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

These Magic Treasures all had owners, so Gu Changan simply acted as if he didn't see them.

Some stalls also had treasures with yellow treasure aura, but Gu Changan was not interested.

Because the yellow treasure aura in the treasure gathering basin was enough for his daily consumption.

It wasn't realistic to go through the trouble of getting so many Magic Treasures.

After all, every Magic Treasure wasn't cheap, easily costing millions of Spirit Stones.

Why bother with that effort?

If he was going to look, he should look for Nascent Soul Stage treasures, the kind with green Treasure Qi!

Once found, he could put them directly into the treasure gathering basin to accumulate Treasure Qi; later, when the Treasure Qi was abundant, he could directly replicate Nascent Soul Stage items.

Gu Changan walked through more than half of the street and didn't see anything with green Treasure Qi.

It seemed there were experts in Tianbao City!

They also had methods to observe Treasure Qi; the Cultivators in this Tianbao City should have long ago observed these treasures in the black market inside and out.

They had long ago picked up any leaks; how could it be his turn?

After all, their city had a Legacy of thousands of years; how could it be his turn, a small Cultivator, to pick up leaks?

Gu Changan smiled bitterly and shook his head; he could only give up on the idea of picking up leaks.

Walking further ahead, clanging sounds came from the front.

Looking up, near the edge of Tianbao Street close to the inner city, there was a huge stall, comparable to the previous Alchemy one.
