Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 57: Cooperation

"Give it to me!"

Mi Xiaojing said without hesitation.

Lu Yu knew that in order to have a good cooperation, he needed to show goodwill and necessary kindness to Mi Xiaojing.

Mi Xiaojing asked, "What are the conditions for the exchange?"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "No need for any exchange, just a promise from you."

Mi Xiaojing curiously asked, "What promise?"

"Trade with me in the future. Of course, if I do something that you are not satisfied with, you can trade with someone else. But before that, you must trade with me."

"Okay! No problem!"

Mi Xiaojing agreed without hesitation. He was not familiar with other cultivators, and with Lu Yu as an intermediary, even if the value was a little less, it was worth it. He just wanted to hide behind the scenes and not let others know how good he was at alchemy.

"By the way, help me exchange two magical swords..."

The so-called magical swords were weapons used by low-level disciples. Even for such weapons, it was difficult for low-level disciples to obtain them because they were very expensive. Only disciples with backgrounds could possibly obtain magical swords.

Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Exchange with pills?"

Mi Xiaojing said, "Exchange with Qi Refining Pills. Hmm, I want slightly better quality magical swords."

Lu Yu said, "It's okay to exchange with Qi Refining Pills, but you need a lot of them...unless you use middle-grade Qi Refining Pills, you should be able to exchange for better magical swords."

Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Okay, it's settled. I will notify you in a while."

Lu Yu smiled and said, "That's no problem."

Mi Xiaojing stood up and said, "It's settled then. If there are people from Western Expansion Sect in the future, just send them over."

Lu Yu also stood up and personally escorted him out.

The two of them talked and laughed all the way to the entrance of the manor, where Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo were already waiting, and Zhang Ke was sent out by someone.

The servants at the entrance of the manor were surprised to see their master. The whole manor was in an uproar because of the incident with Qian Daguanjia. Mi Xiaojing, the culprit, looked like an old friend of the master, which made them both surprised and scared. Their eyes towards Mi Xiaojing were different. This person looked like a child, but he was really something!

Mi Xiaojing said goodbye and walked towards the main road with a confused Zhang Ke, as well as a confused Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo.

"Junior Brother, are you okay...what were you talking about? You looked so happy?"

Mu Xiaoyin was full of doubts.

"It's nothing."

Mi Xiaojing didn't explain. He didn't want to say much. He even hid the fact that he was able to refine so many Spirit Pills from Mu Xiaoyin for the sake of the trade.

It wasn't until they reached the main road that Zhang Ke finally woke up a little. He was surprised and said, "They let me go?"

Mi Xiaojing was very happy and said, "You'll follow me from now on and don't have to go back to the manor."

Zhang Ke's tears fell, but he didn't make a sound, just wiped away his tears quietly."From now on, there will be more Evolutionary Immortality cultivators from our Western Evolutionary Sect coming over. I have made an agreement with Lu Yu, and he will help me find our lost disciples..."

Zhang Ke exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Really? That's great..."

In fact, the surviving disciples of the Western Evolutionary Sect were all children, just like Mi Xiaojing, only younger. It was unknown how they survived, but Mi Xiaojing would never hesitate to help them. He was confident he could take care of these little disciples. As long as they became Pill Masters, all resources would be available to them.

The group walked towards the market, chatting and laughing.

There were several markets in the Sword Heart Sect, and this was one of the most common ones. It was a place where ordinary people and low-level cultivators traded.

The market was just one street, but there was a simple formation around it, mainly used to distinguish between ordinary people and cultivators. The front street was where ordinary people went, and the back street was where cultivators went.

People came and went on the front street, and there were many carts and shops, as well as various stalls and vendors, making it very lively.

Mi Xiaojing, Luo Bo, and Zhang Ke were all country bumpkins, and they had never seen such a lively market when they were in the Western Evolutionary Sect. When they entered the front street, they were completely dazzled.

Mu Xiaoyin was used to it. She had been here a few times, and compared to Mi Xiaojing, she was much more knowledgeable.

A strong aroma wafted through the air. Someone was frying twisted doughnuts on the roadside. When they smelled the aroma, Mi Xiaojing and the others couldn't help but salivate. Mu Xiaoyin was the first to arrive at the fried doughnut stand and said, "Give me a bag of twisted doughnuts!"

"Sure... just a moment!"

The withered lotus leaves wrapped a large bag of fried twisted doughnuts, which were about the size of a little finger and golden brown in color. The aroma was enticing.

Mu Xiaoyin threw a silver melon seed, which was the currency used by ordinary people.

Mi Xiaojing was also pitiful. He had never eaten any fried dough products before, and when he took a bite, it made a crispy sound and filled his mouth with fragrance. Even Zhang Ke, who had never eaten them before, was amazed. After all, cultivators usually practiced asceticism and didn't use a lot of oil to fry food.

Luo Bo almost swallowed his tongue while eating, and he kept saying, "It's delicious, it's delicious... What are the little dots on top?"

Mu Xiaoyin felt a sense of accomplishment, "Hehe, those are sesame seeds. They're very fragrant. There are sesame cakes ahead. I'll go buy some and bring them back. They're also delicious."

It was easy to distinguish between cultivators and ordinary people on the road. Anyone who practiced cultivation wore extremely thin clothes, while ordinary people wore bulky clothes. The weather was quite cold now, and only cultivators were not afraid of the cold. Evolutionary Immortals were not yet at that level, so Mu Xiaoyin and Zhang Ke were both dressed very warmly.As they walked, they ate all kinds of snacks and street food, which amazed Mi Xiaojing and his companions and made them very hungry.

Soon, they arrived at the back street, where Mi Xiaojing noticed that there were significantly fewer people and a few low-level cultivators could be seen.

Then, Mi Xiaojing saw a large gate that resembled an archway. It was made of green jade and had faint green spiritual patterns shimmering on it, indicating that the back street was covered by restrictions. At the entrance of the street, two low-level cultivators were sitting cross-legged.

To enter, one must have an identity badge. Mi Xiaojing and Mu Xiaoyin had one, but Luo Bo and Zhang Ke did not, so they were stopped at the gate.

Mu Xiaoyin said, "We should be able to bring people in, right?"

The two cultivators were in the Qi Refining stage and had just been recognized by the sect. If they could progress further, they could enter the outer sect. Both of them were ambitious and eager to make contributions to the sect, treating the sect's rules as if they were divine laws.

"No, the market is only open to disciples of our sect, not outsiders," one of the cultivators said.

Mi Xiaojing immediately understood that they were dealing with idiots. Even though it was his first time in the market, he knew that this kind of rule could not be strictly enforced.
