Chapter 483 Staying at a Guesthouse, Hearing of Blue Blood Vine Seedlings

"Are you satisfied, fellow Daoist?" Huang Xiaoyang asked from the side.

Wenwen nodded, "That's good. We'll stay here for one night. You can calculate how many spirit stones we'll need."

Huang Xiaoyang smiled: "A normal inn costs fifty spirit stones a night, but we charge thirty spirit stones a night."

"No deposit is required for accommodation?" Wenwen asked habitually.

At the same time, they felt a little embarrassed. The three siblings had gotten a great deal. They split the cost and it only cost ten spirit stones for the night. And this was in the Immortal City!

Should we say they're stingy, or that the landlord is generous?

"Huh? Oh, you don't need a deposit to stay in a place like ours, you don't need one," Huang Xiaoyang said, waving her hand.

Then, Wenwen took out thirty spirit stones and gave them to the other party.

Huang Xiaoyang accepted the spirit stones, handed Wenwen a jade token for entering and exiting the courtyard, and then said, "Fellow Daoist, you need to set up the restriction array for this room yourself."

"By the way, fellow Daoist, you mentioned earlier that you wanted to introduce books about demonic beasts. I'll bring them back when I finish my shift tonight, around the end of Xu hour, is that alright?"

Wenwen realized what she meant and said, "Okay, okay."

After speaking, Wenwen took out five hundred spirit stones and handed them to Huang Xiaoyang, "Is this enough?"

This amount is compared to the previous cost of buying maps, so I don't know if it's more or less.

Looking at the spirit stones in front of him, Huang Xiaoyang said with a simple smile, "Fellow Daoist, you don't need so many, one hundred spirit stones will be enough."

Wenwen: "...Okay."

After Huang Xiaoyang and his sister left, Wenwen and her two brothers went into the house, set up their protective magic array, and began to look through a pile of maps and books they had bought earlier.

Wen Chengjian carefully examined a map showing the distribution of major families, sects, and forces within Ningqian City.

Wenwen picked up a geographical atlas that specifically introduced the terrain and landforms of the Immortal Realm, and flipped directly to the last few pages to read it. This atlas was probably a masterpiece left by a senior who had traveled abroad, and the last few pages directly listed the list of cities with teleportation arrays that the senior knew of.

Wen Chengjian then unfolded a large map. This map depicted the mountains and rivers extending thousands of miles outward from Ningqian City. Although the map was somewhat too general, after looking at it, one could still get a direct impression of this area.

The mountain that blocked their approach was called Bitian Mountain, and the sea below it was naturally called Bitian Sea.

When Wen Chengbin saw the words "Outer perimeter of Yuanling Continent" at the top of the map, he excitedly shouted as if he had discovered a new continent, "Big brother, little sister, come here quickly, look here, look here!"

Then, the three heads huddled together, studying the large map.

Originally, the land where Ningqian City is located is directly north of a vast desert, and further north are snow-capped mountains. Then, one has to travel thousands of miles through mountains to reach the outer edge of Yuanling Continent.

This shows how remote and mysterious this continent is!

Suddenly, Wenwen noticed a few small words in the top left corner of the map: Hongxiao City.

The name of this city seems familiar!

"Oh my, I just saw this name on the last few pages of the geographical atlas." Wenwen couldn't wait to grab the book and check it one by one. She chuckled and said, "Big brother, second brother, I have an idea."

Then, Wenwen suggested that they compare the list of cities with teleportation arrays mentioned in the book, find and mark them on the map, and then find the immortal city with a teleportation array closest to Hongxiao City. As long as they use the teleportation array, they can reach Yuanling Continent at the fastest speed.

Since Hongxiao City is a city on the western outskirts of Yuanling Continent, and Xiye Secret Realm is located in the Misty Forest on the western side of Yuanling Continent, they are in the same direction.

Wenwen believed that once they reached Hongxiao City, they would definitely be able to reach the Misty Forest, so this plan was feasible!

Fortunately, I also bought books about teleportation arrays when I bought them before.

Soon, the brother and sister worked together to mark the immortal cities with teleportation arrays on the map.

Looking at the red circles on the map, Wenwen felt that they had taken another big step closer to success.

Then, the three of them set their sights on Xiguan City, the immortal city with a teleportation array that was closest to Ningqian City.

Xiguan City is situated in an oasis on the side of the desert.

In other words, once you arrive at Xiguan City, you can take the teleportation array and reach your destination, Hongxiao City, without any problem.

The problem they now face is how to reach Xiguan City, the fairy city of the desert oasis.

Wenwen remembered that the Luo siblings had said that the immortal city with the most tribulation cultivators was Xiguan City.

"Cultists, huh? One if they come, I'll take them on; two if they come, I'll take them on both!" Wen Chengbin clenched his fists and shouted.

"Second brother, we must not be careless. After all, we have not experienced enough of the methods of cultivators," Wen Chengjian said.

Just then, Wenwen sensed that someone had entered the courtyard.

"Father, Mother, you're back," Huang Xiaoduo said.

It turned out that the landlords, Huang Damao and his wife, had returned. They were talking as they walked, and their voices were a bit loud. Before the couple could finish three sentences, Huang Xiaoduo reminded them, "Dad, Mom, three fellow Daoists have checked into our guest room. It's a short-term rental."

Huang Damao: "Huh? Oh, oh, then let's keep our voices down."

Ms. Xu: "Short-term rental is fine, as long as the house isn't empty."

Huang Xiaoduo sighed: "Sigh, it's so hard for independent cultivators to earn spirit stones!"

Unaware of what their daughter was thinking, Huang Damao and his wife sat at the stone table in the courtyard, sharing their day's experiences in hushed tones.

Huang Damao is an assistant manager at the Wuzhou Trading Company in the city. He is responsible for coordinating and maintaining order at the event held by the company.

The Immortal World Expo to be held in the north of the city tomorrow will be organized by the Five Continents Trading Company.

Ms. Xu worked as a waiting guide at the Huang family auction house, which meant leading the guests to the auction venue and arranging their seats.

Huang Damao: "I heard today that many precious spiritual plants and medicines will be exhibited at the World Expo tomorrow, some of which are thousands of years old, and some are only one or two years old seedlings."

Madam Xu couldn't help but ask, "A thousand years? Will the trading company sell them on the spot?"

"If the price is right, I should sell it."

Huang Damao nodded and said, "Who would turn down spirit stones? After all, the purpose of a trading company is to make a profit."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Those seedlings that are only one or two years old may not be worth anything."

"What kind of seedlings no one wants?" Mrs. Xu asked curiously.

"What else could it be?"

Huang Damao said nonchalantly, "It's just those gardenia and sage vine seedlings. Planting that stuff is a waste of land and effort, and it's not very useful. Who would bother with that?"

"You forgot? It is said that the Huang family patriarch destroyed a spiritual field because of planting this Blue Blood Vine. Therefore, the Huang family's ancestral rules forbid planting this thing in the clan's spiritual fields."

"..."

Then, Huang Damao and his wife started talking about other things.

The couple's conversation continued in the courtyard.

However, the three siblings who were looking at the map in the east room were already overjoyed.

Wenwen looked at her two older brothers and asked excitedly, "Big brother, second brother, did you hear that?"

Wen Chengjian nodded, "I heard that, Gardenia and Blood Vine seedlings!"

"Oh, this is exactly what we need!"

Wen Chengbin laughed heartily and said, "Isn't this just like finding something you've been searching for everywhere without even looking for it?"

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.
