Chapter 80: 74. Cold Pond City, Reunion with an Old Friend (3.3K words - Please Subscribe)

Cold Pool Valley Market, a mixing pot of fish and dragons, yet its vast scale and numerous participants are unparalleled in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

Song Yan estimated in his mind, feeling there must be at least ten thousand people here.

Among these ten thousand people, a large portion were Jianghu folks.

The alliance between Nanwu Sword Sect and Puppet Sect is a significant event, naturally, the "little brothers" below must come to "support."

The righteous and evil sects within the Jianghu also need to temporarily make peace, uniting against external enemies.

Song Yan walked around, only quietly placing the Fox Demon Shadow Puppet in a shady spot after finding a few secluded corners. Once he left, the Fox Demon Shadow Puppet expanded from the shadow, transforming into an ordinary-looking cultivator that wouldn’t attract attention even upon a glance.

After wandering a few circles, on one of the occasions when it coincided with Song Yan again, Song Yan discreetly handed him a storage bag.

Although a storage bag is precious, on Paperman Peak, it is not impossible to exchange one.

After completing these tasks, Song Yan led Yuzhuang Little Lady to indulge in delicious food and drink.

Cao Yuzhuang was captured at eight, entering the Demon Sect, and has been living in fear every day. Today, following Song Yan into this top-tier market, witnessing the aroma wafting from the food district, her craving was already stirred.

Song Yan joined her, feasting heartily.

Meanwhile...

The Fox Demon Puppet was executing Song Yan’s true purchasing intentions.

Song Yan initially intended to buy a mask, but unexpectedly stumbled upon a stall hawking "Anonymous Suits."

He went forward to take a look.

Goodness, this one has a business acumen.

Masks, cloaks, Qi Concealment Talismans, all prepared in a set.

The stall owner saw him linger, standing up with a smile: "Cultivators harbor many secrets, and no one wants to be exposed easily. Although fighting is prohibited in the Cold Pool Valley Market, who knows once outside. For safety, would the friend like to buy this outfit?"

As he explained, a cultivator passing by suddenly turned back, purchased a set, wore it, and marched off proudly.

Only then did Song Yan cautiously count out 4 Profound Jade Beans from the storage bag, placed them in his palm, counted them again, and then reluctantly handed them out, asking: "Can’t it be just a bit cheaper?"

The stall owner sighed: "Small business, it’s difficult for me too."

Song Yan sighed along, then exchanged money for goods, quickly putting on the set, testing its effect, grumbled over trivial things, saying words like "not worth the price, bought at a loss" before leaving.

After he moved away, the stall owner couldn’t help but mutter: "Penniless... didn’t even bring enough money to the market, what can one buy?"

...

...

After changing into the suit, Song Yan started eyeing flying swords.

Currently, his main offensive technique is indeed the "Black and White Double Evil."

One hand with White Evil Devouring Profound, one hand with Black Death Fury.

Moreover, a "Two-Handed Sword" can catch people off guard, after all... no one knows he uses two swords, and there are hardly any in the entire Nanwu Sword Sect who use two swords.

As for, "Hundred Forms Divine Control," "Divine Swallowing Hundred Forms," "Hundred Forms Demon Body," "Skin Painting Slave Soul Technique," these all belong to the "Soul Control" class of techniques.

Not to mention those "Manufacturing Class" techniques, even "Hundred Forms Demon Body," the action is quite conspicuous, with plenty of "Casting Animation"... it’s not very agile nor suitable for small area magical battles. Once used, regardless of power or appearance, it immediately puts oneself in the "spotlight."

"Hundred Forms Demon Body" suits for instant kill, decisive hit, and going all out, but not quite for battles.

Therefore, he needs a flying sword.

After walking some distance, he had already left the bustling area of the Cold Pool Valley Market.

Here, the vendors were quite spaced apart, the lighting was dim, and the goods sold at the stalls were items only usable by high-tier cultivators within the Refining Profound Realm.

Song Yan soon selected a stall selling flying swords.

The stall owner directly asked: "Do you want high-tier or middle-tier?"

High-tier refers to the Seventh Layer of Refining Profound and above.

Middle-tier is from the fourth to sixth layer.

Song Yan said: "High-tier."

The stall owner glanced at him, noticing the other’s well-hidden aura, without saying much, directly took out several flying swords beginning introductions one by one.

Song Yan pointed to the best among them, saying: "This one."

The stall owner stated: "My friend, 28 small Profound Jades, rest assured about the quality, among the high-tier also considered top-grade, usable throughout the entire Refining Profound Realm."

Song Yan pointed again: "This one."

The stall owner said: "This one is 22 small Profound Jades..."

Finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow, slightly furrowed: "Which one do you want?"

Song Yan said: "Both."

Then, decisively paid 5 Profound Crystals, placed both flying swords into his storage space, swiftly departing.

The stall owner stared dumbfounded at his back, scratching his head.

Buying two flying swords in one go, it was the first time he encountered this...

Song Yan’s thought was simple.

If Old Demon Gu Huangzi intends to confine him, it’s possible he may seize his only flying sword.

After all, as a sword cultivator, being without a flying sword is akin to a tiger without teeth.

Hence, buying two is prudent.

If it were not for insufficient money and storage space, he might have bought more.

Walking a few more steps, he suddenly noticed a stall with "Array Flag" floating behind.

Array Flags, once laid out, can harness Profound Qi to create an array.

The biggest difference between arrays and talismans is, the latter usually targets individuals and has a time limit; whereas arrays target areas, and can function endlessly as long as there is enough Profound Qi.

Talismans are available in almost every market, but Array Flags are rare indeed...
