Only the spoils from those Tribulation Cultivators?
Li Yunjing and the others arenât interested.
However, after cleaning up the battlefield, Nangong Yuan tactfully handed a quarter of the loot to Fu Chao as an expression of gratitude.
Fu Chao simply kept the spoils to himself, showing no intention of distributing them to Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, or Lv Ruoxi.
He knew well that the three of them didnât care about money and wouldnât fancy these things.
After repelling the Tribulation Cultivators, the caravan continued on its journey.
After struggling forward for a few hours, an oasis finally appeared ahead.
In the oasis, there was actually a small town.
Around the small town grew lush, green trees, and a small lake shimmered with emerald light, making it particularly conspicuous in such an endless desert.
"Weâre finally here!"
Everyone cheered and quickened their pace towards the oasis.
As the caravan stepped into the oasis town, they were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them.
In the town, stalls lined both sides of the street, with the sounds of hawking and haggling rising and falling.
A wide array of Spiritual Objects were on display, with Spirit Crystals emitting a strange glow, various materials from the desert, and Magical Artifacts flashing with a cold light.
Cultivators in different outfits moved among them, either stopping to choose or fiercely arguing over prices with the stall owners.
The number of cultivators in this small town was surprisingly large.
"Donât underestimate this place! Itâs the only stopover in the desert, almost every cultivator passing by will come here."
Seeing the confusion on Li Yunjingâs face, Nangong Yuan explained with a smile.
"I see!"
Li Yunjing nodded, finally understanding the situation.
In this town, Li Yunjing also saw many disciples of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect," some were there for supplies, others stationed there.
Clearly, this was an important stronghold for the "Netherworld Ghost Sect."
"Weâll stay here for half a day, mainly because these Qi Refining Realm Cultivators need to rest."
Nangong Yuan continued to explain, "Brother Li, if youâre interested, you can stroll around the Market, itâs quite interesting here."
"Alright! Letâs take a look around!"
Li Yunjing thought for a moment and agreed to the suggestion.
After all, spending time with people who arenât friends isnât much fun; better to take the opportunity to scout out the "Netherworld Ghost Sectâs" activity.
Giving Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao a glance, the four of them followed the crowd, strolling through the Market.
As for the arrangements for rest, the Nangong Family was sure to handle everything properly.
"Old Li! Damn, I can see it now, theyâre selling all black market goods here!"
After visiting a few stalls, Fu Chaoâs eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what the merchants were selling.
"No kidding! In such a desolate place, where can they get resources? Isnât it through robbery?"
Li Yunjing sneered, transmitting his voice to the three of them.
"Then letâs see if we can find any good stuff!"
Yu Yunyi said with interest.
"Yeah! Hopefully, thereâll be some surprises!"
Lv Ruoxi said with a bright smile.
"Heh, letâs give it a try then!"
Li Yunjing smiled, speaking indifferently.
He didnât believe that these Tribulation Cultivators, or the Sects and Clans, who resorted to robbery for a living, were likely to miss anything valuable. They were unlikely to find much.
With a goal in mind, the four of them wandered around each stall, trying to find some rare items.
Li Yunjing, however, remained composed, paying attention to the surroundings while observing information about the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" disciples.
He meticulously observed their numbers, Cultivation, Arrays, and Restrictions, all of which were important information for "Shenxiao Pass."
If the Sect planned to target the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" in the future, this would certainly be the first stronghold to take down!
As for the other three, Li Yunjing didnât alert them.
This was just fine!
He could handle the reconnaissance alone.
Li Yunjingâs Divine Sense was exceptionally strong, superior to that of average Golden Core Realm Cultivators. He could scan around without exposing his position.
If he told Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao, it might make them nervous, causing the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" people to notice.
"Yunjing, take a look at this."
Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi, arm-in-arm, showed a keen interest in those exquisite trinkets and Spiritual Objects.
Lv Ruoxi picked up a small delicate Incense Pouch, adorned with intricate Runes, emitting a faint fresh fragrance.
"This is a Gathering Spirit Incense Pouch. Wearing it can accelerate the gathering of Spiritual Power and greatly benefit cultivation."
The stall owner introduced with a smile.
"It definitely is a good thing. If Ruoxi likes it, go ahead and buy it!"
Li Yunjing looked and nodded.
"Okay!"
Lv Ruoxi happily paid the Spirit Stones and carefully put away the incense pouch.
It wasnât bought as a Magical Treasure, but as a trinket, a small accessory. Sometimes, womenâs demands are simpleâcheap, shiny, fragrant, and pretty things can make them happy for a while.
Li Yunjing certainly wouldnât dampen the mood by saying itâs trash and useless for the sake of a few Spirit Stones.
At this moment, Fu Chao paused at a stall displaying various Talismans.
He picked up an "Invisibility Talisman" and examined it closely.
"Customer, you have good taste. This is a Talisman Iâve crafted with great care, very useful in this desert."
The stall owner quickly stated upon seeing Fu Chaoâs interest.
"Heh..."
Fu Chao sneered, sizing up the heavily built stall owner, who didnât look like a craftsman at all!
More like a butcher or a likely bandit!
This Talisman was stolen goods!
"Alright!"
After pondering for a moment, Fu Chao felt that the Talisman might be useful for the upcoming journey, so he bought a few sheets.
Everyone else found some things, but Li Yunjing, despite looking around, found nothing that caught his interest.
