He once used his Spiritual Sense to delve into Zhenbei Prison and found that there were two layers of an Underground Palace in the prison, and the material style of the Underground Palace in Laojun Mountain seemed exactly the same as the second layer of Zhenbei Prison.

Besides that.

The Underground Palace within Laojun Mountain appeared very spacious on the surface, but it seemed that everyone was only free to come and go in this area.

At the edge of the marketplace, there was a special wall over three meters high.

Behind the wall, there were fluctuations of Spiritual Power.

Jiang Feng, well-versed in Restriction Arrays, immediately saw that there was a powerful Restriction Array behind the wall, preventing anyone from entering the depths of the Underground Palace.

"Could it be that the rumors are not unfounded, and there is indeed an Underground Palace beneath Dragon Capital, even larger than the city itself?"

Jiang Feng marveled inwardly.

"Immortal Master, may I boldly ask if you wish to sell or trade goods in the marketplace?"

The tall, thin man saw Jiang Feng paying attention to the environment of the Underground Palace and became more certain that Jiang Feng was a traveling cultivator, who might possess some valuable items. If he could introduce Jiang Feng to a business deal with the bosses in the marketplace, he might be rewarded with a Spirit Pill.

"Show me what good things you have here first,"

"And tell me about the rules here."

Jiang Feng said casually.

He was paying attention to the Underground Palace and the people here.

Among the two or three hundred people, not everyone was a cultivator; indeed, more than two-thirds were only at the Innate Realm.

Through the tall, thin man’s explanation, Jiang Feng also learned that the so-called Cultivation Marketplace was not open 24 hours like the Black Market; on the contrary, it only opened once every three months.

Thus Jiang Feng realized why he hadn’t encountered any other cultivators while wandering around Laojun Mountain recently.

It turned out the marketplace wasn’t open, so no one was around.

Those Innate Powerhouses who appeared in the marketplace were serving cultivators, helping find Spirit Medicine and Spirit Herbs, hoping to gain guidance and exchange for a chance to become cultivators.

So every time the marketplace opened,

those Innate Powerhouses who knew about the Cultivation Marketplace would bring the hard-earned Spirit Herbs and Elixirs to sell or to befriend powerful cultivators.

Therefore, when Jiang Feng required someone to serve him, the tall, thin man was overjoyed and served him attentively.

To him, this was a rare opportunity.

Jiang Feng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. In the past, he had often secluded himself in Zhenbei Prison, being independent, and hadn’t interacted with others. Otherwise, if he’d known a few Innate Powerhouses, he might have known about this Cultivation Marketplace sooner.

"Immortal Master, this is a shop established by the Great Tang Royal Family, selling Spirit Medicine and Magical Artifacts, which can be exchanged for Spiritual Power or Spirit Rice. Alternatively, by residing in the Royal Family and helping the Great Tang guard the Imperial Authority, one can earn corresponding treasures, with a term starting at twenty years."

At this time, the tall, thin man led Jiang Feng to the widest and brightest shop in the marketplace.

The shop was filled with spiritual energy, and the fluctuations of Spiritual Power were like a river clam continuously exuding, with the Spiritual Qi coming from the Spirit Medicine, Spirit Herbs, Spiritual Liquid, and Spirit Rice within the shop, and the Spiritual Power fluctuations intentionally released by the Magical Artifacts and Talismans within the shop.

"No wonder there are cultivators within the Imperial City; it turns out the Emperor of the Great Tang collects cultivators through such means."

"Many of the experts raised by the Royal Family might be helping cultivators find Spirit Herbs and Spirit Medicine."

Jiang Feng thought to himself.

Today, he finally understood why there was an endless stream of experts in the Imperial City and numerous sects; it turned out the Emperor of the Great Tang searched for them from the marketplace.

"Immortal Master, if you fancy any Magical Treasure or Spirit Medicine, just let us know; the price in Spirit Rice is negotiable."

A young man emerged from the shop.

He looked vigorous and confident, standing out among a group of Innate Martial Artists, with a naturally noble presence that commanded respect.

"Second Prince, I didn’t expect you to be in charge of this shop today."

The tall, thin man saw the young man, noted his Innate Ruyi Realm cultivation, and said politely.

Jiang Feng twitched his fingers. The moment the young man emerged, he nearly threw a Flame Saber, but indeed, it was Li Yunhong, the Second Prince of the Great Tang.

What a coincidence it was him.

"Immortal Master, let me introduce you to the Second Prince, most favored by the Emperor of the Great Tang. Recently, when the Southern Blood Wolf wreaked havoc, it was the Second Prince who led a million-strong army to drive back the wolf pack, saving countless lives."

After introducing, the tall, thin man said to the Second Prince, "Your Highness, since the Immortal Master has traveled here and is visiting our marketplace for the first time, if you have any good treasure, be sure to show it to the Immortal Master."

Jiang Feng felt somewhat displeased that the tall, thin man spoke to the Second Prince about his first visit to the Cultivation Marketplace without his consent.

However, the other party meant well, and Jiang Feng couldn’t say anything.

"Oh, so you are an Immortal Master traveling here, no wonder you are unfamiliar. Please wait a moment, I’ll call my Master out."

The Second Prince remained composed, instructing others to treat Jiang Feng well and quickly went inside to invite the Immortal Master from the Imperial City.

Jiang Feng was considering whether to leave immediately.

He had stolen books from the Imperial City Academy and was caught by the Imperial City Sword Immortal when he left; what if he was recognized?

While he hesitated,

he saw that the person the Second Prince invited was the Snow Eagle Immortal Master who had fought the Blood Wolf King at Zhenbei Prison.

Jiang Feng remembered him.

Last time, during the Southern Blood Wolf chaos.

The opponent rode a Snowy Owl, flashing past over Zhenbei Prison.

Unexpectedly, they were sitting face to face now, still in Laojun Mountain Underground Palace, the Cultivation Marketplace, in a shop owned by the Great Tang Royal Family.

He felt a bit nervous, worried that the other might recognize him.

But fortunately, the Snow Eagle Immortal Master had passed by in a rush last time and hadn’t paid attention to Jiang Feng at all.

"I am known as Snow Eagle, having served the Great Tang Royal Family for over thirty years. May I ask how to address you?"

Snow Eagle carefully looked at Jiang Feng. The Spiritual Power fluctuations that Jiang Feng intentionally emitted confirmed to him that Jiang Feng was undoubtedly a cultivator.

However, the Spiritual Power from Jiang Feng seemed somewhat peculiar, with a cultivation technique that had an indescribable uniqueness, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

He tried to sense Jiang Feng’s Spiritual Power fluctuations, but Jiang Feng seemed alerted and suddenly retracted all the Spiritual Power from his body surface.

"I was presumptuous, please forgive me, fellow Daoist."

Knowing he’d been discovered by Jiang Feng, Snow Eagle apologized.

Jiang Feng didn’t speak and took the opportunity to leave the Royal Family shop; he had no assurance dealing with Royal Family members on his first encounter with cultivators.

"Immortal Master..."

"Yun Hong, Master was a bit anxious just now, pick a Spirit Medicine to send to him."

Snow Eagle sighed.

Assuming Jiang Feng left in anger, he gestured for the Second Prince to offer Spirit Medicine as a bribe.

"Yes!"

The Second Prince responded respectfully. Knowing that cultivators often had strange tempers, he dared not say anything, immediately selecting two Centennial Reishi Grass to chase after him.
