Looking at the hesitant look of the female cultivator in front of him, the cultivator guarding the city sneered.
"Pay it quickly, there are people waiting in line behind you, don't delay! If you can't afford the spirit crystals, don't enter the city."
Xu Chunniang took out ten spirit crystals with an expressionless face and handed them over without saying a word.
This person probably saw that she had just ascended and had no one to rely on, so he clearly wanted to collect more spirit crystals.
Right now, the important thing is to go into the city quickly and transform all the spiritual energy. Ten pieces are fine.
After taking the spirit crystal, the monk guarding the gate snorted and let them pass.
He had seen many monks flying up from the lower world. They all thought they were the chosen ones of heaven and were arrogant.
In fact, these people are just lucky. Once they go to the battlefield, less than one-fifth of them can survive.
Rather than dying on the battlefield with the remaining spirit crystals, it is better to give them to him.
Xu Chunniang stepped into the city, not paying attention to the previous incident, and observed the monks coming and going in the city without leaving any trace.
She discovered that none of these monks were wearing any storage devices. No wonder the gatekeeper guessed that she was from the lower world when he saw her.
It seems that the storage methods of the spiritual world are more advanced.
Xu Chunniang put away the storage ring on her hand and stepped into an inn.
The innkeeper came up to him and asked, "Senior, are you here to stay or to get a room?"
Xu Chunniang felt deeply moved, thinking that this place was indeed the spiritual world.
The waiter in any random store is actually in the Nascent Soul stage.
"I want to stay in a hotel. How much do you charge?"
"We have several sizes of guest rooms, ranging from five spirit crystals a night to several hundred spirit crystals. Which one would you like?"
When she first came to the spirit world, Xu Chunniang only had a hundred spirit crystals issued after she participated in the service, and she spent ten of them when entering the city.
The journey to the southwest battlefield is long, so it’s better to spend your spirit crystals sparingly.
She asked for a room worth five spirit crystals and paid for two days in advance.
Two days should be enough for her to complete the transformation of her spiritual energy.
The room that Wu Lingjing spent one night in was certainly not luxurious, it was just a place to stay.
Xu Chunniang didn't care about these things. She swept the room with her consciousness, then sat cross-legged and started practicing her skills.
As the technique was practiced, with every breath, spiritual energy that was countless times purer than that of the Qianluo Realm was absorbed into her body, replacing the original spiritual energy.
This lasted for a whole day and night, and the spiritual energy in her body finally completed the transformation, faster than expected.
Xu Chunniang opened her eyes and a light flashed in them.
After completing the spiritual energy conversion, there was no change in cultivation, but the strength became more stable.
This is because the quality of the spiritual energy in the spiritual world is far superior to that of the Qianluo world.
She tried to use her spiritual energy, and the consumption of her spiritual energy returned to normal. It was no longer like before, when a large amount of spiritual energy would be consumed as soon as she used her magical powers.
Originally, Xu Chunniang planned to continue on her journey after the spiritual energy was transformed.
But she had paid for two days' room and had only stayed for one day, so she might as well leave tomorrow.
I have nothing to do today, so I can walk around the city and get familiar with the spiritual world.
Xu Chunniang walked out of the inn and walked on the street.
In the town, monks are not allowed to use their spiritual sense to disturb others at will. Overall, the city is relatively peaceful.
Xu Chunniang glanced at the shops along the street. These shops were beautifully decorated and impressive. One could tell at a glance that the things inside were not cheap.
She only had eighty low-grade spirit crystals on her, and probably couldn't even afford the cheapest spirit item.
After turning two streets, the scene suddenly became lively, with many monks bargaining in front of the stalls.
Mixed with some hawking sounds, they came into my ears intermittently.
At the stall closest to her, a thin male cultivator pointed at a small piece of yellow roots on the stall and shook his head.
"Your earth spirit doesn't look very good. It's a little small and a little weak."
The stall owner was a female cultivator, and she rolled her eyes rudely upon hearing this.
"You said my earth spirit is too small and weak? Then go to the Immortal Medicine Shop. Their earth spirit is worth more than this price."
The male cultivator's face flushed. If he could afford the earth spirit essence from the Immortal Medicine Shop, why would he come here
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's smaller. It can be used anyway."
He muttered softly, threw down thirty-two spirit crystals, and bought a portion of earth spirit essence.
The stall owner was free and glanced at Xu Chunniang, "Sister, are you new to the lower world?"
Xu Chunniang didn't expect that even after she put away the storage ring and transformed her spiritual energy, her identity was still recognized at a glance.
She remained silent on the surface, but was wondering in her heart, how could she be seen through
Seeing this, the stall owner smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't think too much. I've been setting up a stall here for more than a hundred years. My eyes have been trained a long time ago and I can judge people very well.
This Qucheng is the closest small town to the receiving place, and many monks who have just ascended from the lower realms will pass through here. "
After hearing the stall owner's explanation, Xu Chunniang felt relieved a lot. It was not that she deliberately concealed her identity, but she really did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
"I have indeed just ascended from the netherworld."
Hearing her admit it, the stall owner immediately perked up.
Not all monks coming from the lower world are poor.
"Fellow Daoist, you have just arrived in the spirit world. I guess you don't have many spirit crystals on you, right?"
The stall owner smiled and said, "Since you can ascend to the spirit world, you must be a person of some importance in the lower world. If you have any spiritual items that you don't need, you can sell them to me directly.
I will definitely not let you suffer a loss in terms of price."
It turned out that the stall owner was planning to do a deal with her.
A fifth-level spiritual object, Xu Chunniang really remembered it, the Earth Core Lotus.
In addition to the Earth Heart Lotus, the unknown soil she dug up in the Wilderness should not be lower than level five.
As for that piece of jade that is cold all over, its grade is probably higher.
After thinking it over, Xu Chunniang did not take out the Earth Heart Lotus rashly.
There is no need to expose it to others before figuring out the situation of the Earth's Core Connection.
However, as a person who ascended from the lower realm, it is not normal for him to not be able to produce any high-level spiritual objects.
Xu Chunniang took out a Yuanci Xuanshi and displayed the Yuanci divine light inside it. "I wonder how much this spiritual object is worth?"
Seeing that what she took out was only a fourth-level spiritual object, disappointment flashed in the stall owner's eyes.
She took the Yuanci black stone and used her fingers to test the sharpness of the Yuanci divine light.
"A fourth-grade top-grade item. If you offer it, it will cost you twenty-eight lower-grade spirit crystals."
Xu Chunniang glanced at the earth spirit essence on the stall. This earth spirit essence was a fourth-grade top-grade spiritual medicine, and the price was thirty-two spirit crystals.
The grade of her Yuanci Divine Light is higher than that of Earth Spirit Essence, but the price is almost the same.
The stall owner followed her gaze and glanced at the earth spirit, and said indifferently.
"Earth Spirit Essence is a consumable spiritual material, so it's inherently scarce. I've been setting up a stall here for over a hundred years, so the price is the most reasonable.
If you don’t believe me, go to other stalls and ask if anyone offers a higher price than me.”
