Chapter 710: Chapter 710: Too Expensive

Peter and Levi West first arrived at the West Market. After entering the marketplace, Peter saw that there were many people doing business here, and most of them looked like mortals.

"Mr. Brown, you can see, most of what is sold here are items used by mortals. Spiritual Grains are also usually sold here."

Peter, having looked around, said, "Don’t cultivators also consume Spiritual Grains? Are they graded too?"

"Yes, Spiritual Grains are also graded. The ones we cultivate are of the lowest grade. Truly valuable ones must be cultivated from high-quality Spirit Fields. Good Spiritual Grains are not sold here. Ordinary people can’t afford them. They are sold in the East Market."

Peter started looking earnestly and saw that most of the food available was of a lower grade.

"The crops from your field can be sold here."

"Can’t I grow better things in my Spirit Field?"

"To be honest, your Spirit Field is just a basic type that can only grow the products sold here. We don’t have the technology to improve Spirit Fields. Modifying a Spirit Field requires a special recipe."

`"A recipe?" Peter was intrigued.

Levi West nodded: "Yes, it is said that some Alchemists have such recipes. After preparing a certain type of fertilizer, the Spirit Field can evolve into a higher-grade one. The Spiritual Grains grown in it would be of a high grade, and those are what Cultivators eat."

Peter felt a crucial point here. If that’s the case, his Concentrated Spirit Liquid might come in handy.

When they arrived at the place selling magical treasures, Peter scrutinized them for a while and then shook his head: "The magical treasures here seem too ordinary."

"They aren’t ordinary. For cultivators below Foundation Establishment, these magic treasures are quite suitable. Some magical instruments here can also be used by mortals."

"Let’s go and see what the cultivators have!"

Seeing that there was nothing he could use here, Peter shook his head.

Soon, they arrived at the East Market.

Upon entering, Peter notably felt that there weren’t many people here. He wondered, "Why aren’t there many people here?"

Levi West pointed forward and said, "Look, the entrance fee is one cultivation coin. There’s a threshold here."

Peter looked and indeed saw there was a fee to enter. Everyone had to pay a fee.

"Why is it like this?"

"This is where cultivators enter. Apart from the entrance fee, it also requires identity verification. Non-cultivators can’t enter, effectively keeping out the mortals."

So that’s why!

After Levi West paid the entrance fee, they both verified their identity badges and entered.

Once inside, Peter found the place really deserted. Stalls were set up one by one, and cultivators were sitting cross-legged in front of their own stalls.

"These Spiritual Grains really are high grade!"

Peter saw a stall selling Spiritual Grains. He went over to take a look and indeed sensed a strong spiritual fluctuation from these grains.

"My Spiritual Grains are grown in modified Spirit Fields using the Alchemist’s recipe. They’re excellent for cultivators. Eating them every day can increase True Qi." The stall owner, a middle-aged man, introduced when he saw Peter looking at his Spiritual Grains.

Peter smiled, feeling that even if he wanted to buy them, he had no cultivation coins. Moreover, looking at the price, he was shocked. The Spiritual Grains were large and sold by pieces. Ten grains cost one cultivation coin. Peter felt he could not afford them.

After looking around for a while, Peter found many items tempting, but, looking at their prices, he was speechless. The items here cost at least hundreds of cultivation coins, if not thousands or tens of thousands.

I found it!

When Peter got to the place selling magical treasures, he immediately spotted a formation called Star Space Formation.

"Sir, do you like this formation?"

"What kind of power can this formation produce in the starry sky?" Peter saw that the stall owner was an old man with white hair. He believed the man must be a formation master.

Indeed, the old man with pride claimed, "This formation is the result of my many years of research. Although it’s small, its effect is huge. When set up in the starry sky, even a flying magical artifact of a cultivator can get trapped in it and exhaust all its energy."

Peter looked over it carefully and asked, "I’ve heard that some people from the Lower Realm use technology to build flying vehicles. They are as big as a planet. Isn’t your magic treasure too small to handle them?"

The old man burst into laughter. "You’re a cultivator! How can you not know the power of cultivators? What can their so-called flying vehicles do? The Heaven-turning Thunder that I refined can destroy their flying vehicles with just a few pieces. My formation is designed for cultivators’ magical treasures."

Heaven-turning Thunder?

Peter was interested in this.

"How much for one Heaven-turning Thunder?"

"Actually, refining Heaven-turning Thunder isn’t difficult. The key is materials, which are expensive. So, one piece is ten thousand cultivation coins."

Hearing that one piece cost ten thousand coins, Peter was speechless. He didn’t have this much money. He simply couldn’t afford it.

"Sir, could you leave a way for me to contact you? I can contact you when I need to buy."

"Alright, give me your identity card to exchange contact information."

The old man took out his identity card.

Peter was already aware that the identity card could be used for contacting, just like a cell phone on Earth. But the range of the card’s signal was limited.

After exchanging contact information, Peter walked around and looked once more.

There’s no denying that many of these things were useful to Peter. Unfortunately, he was really poor now and couldn’t afford anything.

"Mr. Brown, we can just look around at this market. If you get into the Cultivation Academy and do well, you’ll be able to afford all these things." Levi West today specifically accompanied Peter to explore the market, spending two cultivation coins to familiarize Peter with the market.

"My cultivating won’t impact my entry to the Academy, will it?" Peter thought about this.

"Don’t worry, it won’t affect it at all. As long as a teleportation formation is set up, the commute between the two places will be quick. Of course, you have to try your best to earn money. You see, without money, you can hardly move in a place like this."
