Chapter 2278: Chapter 1957

Although Taoyuan is a place for cultivation, people also have their daily lives, so the marketplace in Huang Town is very lively.

"True Qi Pill, effective below SSS level, now only ten silver taels per pill. Come and see, come and buy!"

"PSP, the latest handheld console from the outside, cracked and comes with 300 free games and 50 spare batteries, now only five hundred taels of silver."

"Portable DVD, can be carried around, comes with a large power bank and a collection of Japan blockbusters. Originally priced at 700 taels, now only 300 taels."

...

Hearing these sales pitches, Song Yun nearly spat out old blood.

PSP, DVD, Japanese movies, they are actually sold here, and the prices are even higher than some rare elixirs outside.

Besides, Taoyuan doesn’t have electricity, even with spare batteries and power banks, these electronics are just disposable toys, really too extravagant.

Huang Shiyun glanced at Song Yun and explained, "There are not many Taohuayuan Tokens, only fifty in total. Since the five major families split from the village, each controls ten. So, entering and leaving Taoyuan has become very difficult, leading to some ordinary things from the outside being more expensive than cultivation elixirs here."

Song Yun jokingly said, "If I had known this, I would have brought some electronics in. I could have made a little profit."

Huang Shiyun covered her mouth and chuckled, "Actually, even though these things are expensive, they don’t sell well because people in Taoyuan admire power. Most people are focused on cultivation and hardly anyone buys such expensive toys. So if you want to do this business, you’ll probably lose money."

Song Yun shook his head and said, "You’re wrong there. The reason few people buy is because the price is too high. If I stocked in large quantities and sold them cheaper than True Qi Pill, even those who originally wouldn’t buy would buy one to play around."

Upon hearing this, Huang Shiyun was taken aback, smiled, and said, "You actually make some sense."

At this moment, Song Yun noticed that the eyes of the people around him were all on him, filled with surprise, clearly having noticed him as an outsider.

Huang Shiyun, acting as a tour guide, explained, "Huang Town has a population of only two thousand. Even if people don’t know each other, they recognize familiar faces. So, when you suddenly appear wearing strange clothes, everyone immediately knows you’re an outsider."

Huan’er added, "The Taohuayuan Tokens are in the hands of the five big families, so having an outsider here is extremely rare. Ever since Master Hao Lan came, over a thousand years have passed, and you’re the only outsider to enter the Taoyuan Spiritual Land. So, everyone is surprised."

Huang Shiyun laughed and said, "People from the Heavenly Pond Spiritual Land also come over occasionally to interact with Taoyuan. But they are considered to be of the spiritual land, not outsiders."

"It seems that coming here, I’ve become like a giant panda."

Song Yun smiled slightly. While others scrutinized him, he also observed the people of Huang Town.

These people were of all ages, with varying strengths.

But as expected of a spiritual land, even children as young as seven or eight are in the early stage of Refining, beginning their cultivation.

As for the others, there are practitioners from Refining Truth to Foundation Establishment, all kinds of levels.

However, so far, he hasn’t seen any experts in the Enlightenment or Core Formation stage.

Just as Song Yun was thinking this, he had already walked to the gate of the Huang Mansion.

Before he could take a good look at the Huang Mansion, a young man in a white robe with a spirited demeanor came over, unexpectedly reaching the Enlightenment Realm.

This person appeared to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and had already reached such a level, even Song Yun couldn’t help but be surprised.

Thinking of what He Sui said, someone in their twenties at the Enlightenment Realm is considered a genius in Taoyuan.

So, the person in front of him must be a brilliant figure among the young generation of the Huang Family.

"Shiyun, where have you been? Why are you wearing someone else’s clothes? Hmm, strange, I’ve never seen that style before."

The young man strode up to Huang Shiyun, looking puzzled.

Before Huang Shiyun could answer, he looked at Song Yun, frowned slightly, and asked, "Who is this?"

Huang Shiyun explained, "Big brother, this is Song Yun. He just saved my and Huan’er’s lives. It’s a long story, we should discuss it in the mansion."

"Alright." The young man nodded and frowned, "Shiyun, how many times have I told you, just call me ’Qingshan’, don’t call me big brother."

Huang Shiyun was taken aback, smiled, and said, "Big brother, the distinction between elder and younger should not be mixed up."

After saying this, she gave Song Yun a meaningful glance and strode towards the Huang Mansion.

Song Yun followed, glancing back at Huang Qingshan and noticing a fleeting hostility.

"Brother Song Yun, please come in."

Seeing Song Yun look over, Huang Qingshan showed a friendly smile and gestured invitingly, giving off a sense of affability.

Seeing this behavior, Song Yun was instantly puzzled.

"I did save Huang Shiyun, so as a member of the Huang Family, he should be grateful to me. Why the hostility?"

"And Huang Shiyun calls him big brother, yet he insists she call him by his name. What’s going on?"

"It seems there is more to this story."

Song Yun didn’t think much about it and followed Huang Shiyun, walking all the way inside to the main hall of the Huang Family.

After sitting down, Huang Shiyun excused herself to inform her father.

Shortly, a middle-aged man with a spirited demeanor came in from outside.

Needless to say, this person must be Huang Shiyun’s father, Huang Zhengtao.

Song Yun couldn’t discern his level, but he could feel that this person’s aura was similar to that of the Taoyuan Five Monsters, likely having reached the Core Formation Realm.
