Chapter 3028
"Once everything here is settled, I’ll take you to see all my houses," Ouyang Tianyun said. He felt that being wealthy had its perks.
"Great, great! We can treat it as our honeymoon," Yan Xiwan nodded seriously.
Pan Hongmei and Lu Fang exchanged a look, their eyes full of helplessness.
Pan Hongmei smiled. "You’ve been married for so many years. Still doing a honeymoon?"
"Senior Sister Hongmei, that’s not the right way to think," Yan Xiwan waved her hand. "No matter when it is, couples must maintain their feelings together. To mortals, a marriage of over a hundred years might seem ancient. But we are cultivators. Our lives are made of countless hundreds of years. If we get tired of honeymoons now, how will we spend the long years ahead?"
Ouyang Tianyun completely agreed with his wife. He nodded beside her. "My wife is absolutely right. Senior Sister Hongmei, why do you think we can’t honeymoon after a century?"
Then Ouyang Tianyun added, "My wife and I will have honeymoons for countless centuries."
"That makes sense," Lu Fang said after a moment’s thought. He nodded, then looked at Pan Hongmei. "Hongmei, maybe we should go on a honeymoon too, when the time comes."
Pan Hongmei paused. She glanced at Lu Fang, then thought for a moment. "Alright. We’ll find a place for our honeymoon too."
"Enough talk. Let’s settle in first, then I’ll take you to tour Four Seasons City," Ouyang Tianyun said.
The four of them tidied up their rooms slightly, then walked out of the courtyard.
Four Seasons City was lively. This was likely due to the weather. Since it was spring all year round, with no other seasons, the spiritual energy here felt youthful and pure. This was one reason why so many cultivators were attracted to the city.
"Is that a market ahead?" Yan Xiwan pointed to a crowded area.
"Yes, that’s the market. It has local specialties, spiritual fruits, herbs, and pills for sale. Want to take a look?" Ouyang Tianyun asked.
"Yes," Yan Xiwan nodded firmly.
Women naturally love shopping, but Yan Xiwan’s shopping was different. Other women shopped for clothes and jewelry. She shopped for herbs. Of course, she might also buy spiritual fruits.
With such a market here, she would certainly go in.
Ouyang Tianyun held Yan Xiwan’s hand as they slowly entered the market.
The market was large, with two floors. Each floor covered about ten mu of land. There were countless stalls on both levels.
Naturally, there were many people trading here.
Yan Xiwan noticed the market was divided into zones, like mortal markets with vegetable, cooked food, and seafood sections. Here, the divisions were different.
There were zones for pills, tools, spiritual fruits, spiritual plants, and spiritual beasts. There were at least twenty or thirty zones in total.
Given the large space, this zoning worked well.
Yan Xiwan went to the spiritual fruit zone first, wanting to see if the variety was diverse.
She wasn’t disappointed. There seemed to be many types of spiritual fruits, so Yan Xiwan bought quite a few.
Even Ouyang Tianyun, Pan Hongmei, and Lu Fang bought a lot.
Spiritual fruits don’t go bad. Even if you don’t eat them now, they won’t spoil in a storage vessel.
With so many spiritual fruits available, it would be a pity to miss out.
After buying enough fruits, Yan Xiwan and Ouyang Tianyun walked toward the herb zone nearby.
The herb zone was right next to the fruit zone, so no one found it strange that their group entered.
Yan Xiwan looked at the herbs. Although some were rare, she basically already had them.
However, she did find some herbs she lacked, so she bought a little.
As they walked, they heard a shout: "Opening! Opening! Cutting open spiritual ore stones!"
Yan Xiwan looked curiously in that direction and asked Ouyang Tianyun, "What’s happening ahead?"
Ouyang Tianyun looked ahead and smiled. "They’re gambling on stones."
"Gambling on stones?" Yan Xiwan blinked. "Is it the kind I know?"
"The nature is the same, but here you gamble on whether spiritual ore can be cut out," Ouyang Tianyun explained.
"Let’s go see," Yan Xiwan said. She had heard of stone gambling but never seen it, so she naturally wanted to watch.
Ouyang Tianyun had no objection and went with her.
It was a shop that resold ore materials, but it also displayed many raw stones for gambling.
As cultivators, if they gambled on mortal stones, they could sense the contents and guarantee good results. But spiritual ore was different. The better the ore, the better its disguise. Therefore, no one could sense whether anything was inside these stones.
"It’s out! Another one out! No wonder he’s the Spiritual Ore Prince. Ninety-nine percent of the time, he cuts out spiritual ore," someone nearby said.
Lu Fang stepped forward. "Is that the Spiritual Ore Prince?"
"Yes," the person said, looking Lu Fang up and down. "Are you from out of town, Daoist Friend?"
"Yes. My Daoist companion and I, along with friends, are traveling. We just arrived in Four Seasons City today. We didn’t know who the Spiritual Ore Prince was," Lu Fang said with a simple, honest expression.
"Daoist Friend, can you tell me about this Spiritual Ore Prince?" Lu Fang’s curious look made the other person feel a bit proud.
It seemed impressive to know about the Spiritual Ore Prince, so he agreed and began to speak.
"The Spiritual Ore Prince was originally from the lower realm. I heard he came from the mortal dust. Later, because of his good aptitude, he became the personal disciple of the Sect Master of Junzi Sect. He has a natural affinity for spiritual ore. No matter which stone, if it contains good ore, he can sense it."
The man smiled. "At least I’ve never seen him lose."
"So amazing," Lu Fang said with a look of disbelief. "Isn’t stone gambling all about luck?"
"It is about luck, but you can’t stop someone from having this ability," the man said.
She paused, then added, "Most importantly, the shop owner is good. Most of her stones contain ore. Whether you get good ore depends on your fortune. If you have the luck, you can try."
Lu Fang looked grateful. "Thank you, Daoist Friend. We’ll watch the fun first and decide later."
