Shanshuifangshi, traffic violation

At this moment, Shen Fan deeply felt the true foundation of the Four Great Immortal Sects.

They casually spent hundreds of millions of Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

For him, this amount was an unimaginable figure in his lifetime.

But this was just a human bone mine that had buried countless people and produced these bones.

What kind of figure could the Four Great Immortal Sects, who controlled dozens of Spiritual Mines, create?

Shen Fan dared not think about it, or rather, he lacked the ability to even imagine it.

“Su City is the largest city in Jiangnan Province, with a population of over five million. The Shan Shui Market, located in Su City, is jointly maintained by our Chun Nong Valley and the Great Li Kingdom. There happens to be an auction today, do you want to go take a look?”

After their transaction, Lu Mumu suggested.

“Alright!”

With money in his pocket, Shen Fan felt at ease and readily agreed.

This nouveau riche desperately wanted to spend a fortune right now.

Of course, a portion of this money belonged to Qiao Linger, so Shen Fan still needed to exercise some restraint.

The Market was not in Su City, but fifty li away from Su City.

As soon as they left Su City, they could see streams of light speeding by.

They were all Cultivators from all directions, heading towards the Shan Shui Market.

Shen Fan couldn't help but look forward to such a lively scene.

The Shan Shui Market lived up to its name.

Amidst the mountains, a thousand-zhang waterfall cascaded down, bringing with it a misty aura that refracted colorful rainbow lights.

Cultivators from all directions flew in on various Magical Artifacts or spiritual pets, plunging straight into the thousand-zhang waterfall.

Shen Fan followed Lu Mumu and also plunged in, feeling much like the Monkey King entering the Water Curtain Cave.

With Spiritual Qi protecting their bodies, the water did not touch them.

The scene shifted, and what met their eyes was a huge, bustling city built against the mountain.

Shen Fan couldn't help but be drawn to this sight.

In the sky, Cultivators flew swiftly and orderly.

There were also managers in yellow vests directing them.

Just then.

The manager suddenly flew over from a distance and directly stopped Shen Fan.

“Flying without following the Formation traffic rules, one point deducted, ten Spirit Stones fined!”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Fan's eyes nearly popped out.

Lu Mumu quickly caught up from behind and apologized, “I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, this is my friend's first time coming to the Shan Shui Market, he doesn't know the rules here!”

“The public order of the Shan Shui Market is being disrupted by people like this. Since you've been here before, you should know the rules here. Pay the fine!”

As he spoke, he took out paper and pen and began to record information.

“Hand over your Shan Shui Token!”

Lu Mumu spread her hands helplessly, “Um, my friend just arrived, he hasn't even applied for a Shan Shui Token yet. We'll go apply for it right now, is that okay?”

As she spoke, she handed over twenty Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

“Please be accommodating, ten for the fine, and ten for your hard work, for tea!”

The manager looked around and subtly pocketed the Spirit Stones.

Then he waved his hand impatiently, “Go, go, quickly go get him a Shan Shui Token, otherwise he won't be able to move an inch here!”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Lu Mumu nodded repeatedly.

Shen Fan asked with a puzzled expression, “What is a Shan Shui Token? Why are points being deducted for no reason? And a fine?”

“If you sense carefully, there are Formation channels guiding you all around. When you fly here, you must strictly follow the guidance, otherwise it will cause a flying accident!”

Shen Fan sensed slightly and indeed found many crisscrossing flight paths in the sky.

It was like roads on the ground; you had to strictly follow the Formation guidance wherever you went, otherwise it was a violation.

“Then what is this Shan Shui Token?”

“This is your personal information marker. Anyone who comes here starts with one hundred points. If you violate the rules here, points will be deducted. If your points fall below sixty, the shops here have the right not to sell you anything. If your points reach zero, you will never be allowed to set foot in the Shan Shui Market again. And this Shan Shui Market is a chain; it's not just here in Su City, but in all twelve cities of Jiangnan. At that point, you won't be able to enter anywhere!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Fan suddenly understood.

It had to be said, this kind of regulation was indeed good, especially for ordinary Cultivators, it could be considered a form of protection.

“Moreover, if your points are above ninety, you can get a ten percent discount on any purchases at any shop within the Market!”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Such a setting was indeed unique.

Subsequently, Shen Fan obediently followed behind Lu Mumu, listening as Lu Mumu introduced everything about the place to him.

Of course, the first thing was still to apply for a Shan Shui Token.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to move an inch here.

“Have you heard? The Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect and the Blood Refinement Sect have widely invited heroes from all over the world to participate in the Devouring Spirit Secret Realm, and they auctioned off three hundred spots at this twelve-city joint auction!”

“Aren't they just trying to make us cannon fodder? That's the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect!”

“Probably not. I heard many people from the Four Great Immortal Sects came to bid. Lingjian Sect, Ice Fire Sect, and Tianxuan Sect all sent people!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Fan's heart immediately tightened.

Did people from Tianxuan Sect also come?

Now that old Mu Jiaxing was already starting to suspect, Wind Dao Ling had instructed him to come and go quickly.

If he were discovered here, it might be a bit troublesome.

Holding their Shan Shui Tokens, Shen Fan and Lu Mumu exited the Cultivator Management Office.

And when Lu Mumu turned back to look at Shen Fan, she saw that Shen Fan had already changed his attire, making his original appearance unrecognizable.

“What is this?” Lu Mumu asked, puzzled.

“Didn't you hear them say just now that people from other Sects also came? I'm worried about being discovered by people from Tianxuan Sect. Our transaction this time is a private transaction between my Revered Master and your Revered Master, and it cannot be discovered by others!”

Lu Mumu raised an eyebrow, “You're right! Then I'll also change my attire!”

As Lu Mumu spoke, she took out a white gauze bamboo hat and put it on her head. The white gauze around the brim of the hat covered Lu Mumu's face, giving her a hazy, ethereal beauty.

Subsequently, the two arrived at the auction.

What Shen Fan didn't expect was that the auction required tickets, and not only that, but also a financial verification.

You could only enter with a minimum of one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

This blocked out most Cultivators.

Upon entering the auction, Shen Fan was shocked by the lavish decoration.

Even the Great Li Kingdom's emperor's residence probably wasn't as grand as this!

Each person had a private room, not seeing each other, and bids were announced by the auction staff as proxies. Your external information was merely a number.

“This is good! This way, you don't have to worry about being targeted!” Shen Fan couldn't help but praise this rule.

“What's so good about it? This just makes the competition even more fierce!”

Lu Mumu explained, “My Revered Master and I have attended a few times. Those guys aren't afraid of being targeted; they're absolutely crazy. In the end, the auction house always becomes the final winner!”

Shen Fan nodded, “That's right. Some people bully others with their power. Once they make a bid, others don't dare to bid, which leads to prices not going up, and that's a loss for the auction house.”

Lu Mumu continued, “Moreover, the Market auction is jointly built and maintained by our Chun Nong Valley and the Great Li Kingdom's imperial court. People from our Chun Nong Valley sometimes participate, and to avoid accusations of insider dealings, this rule was implemented!”
