Chapter 103: Fengqing Street, Which Won't Even Show Up on a Map"

“These are all failed products, right? You’re losing money even at the cost of the materials, so why are you trying to find a sucker to sell them to in this way?”

Sister Bai squatted down, looking at the various small items on the stall, then casually picked one up and questioned the senior.

“Ah? That, you could tell? Well, how about I lower the price again? Even though they are all failed products, they’re not completely useless. They have a certain artistic feel as decorative items”

The senior looked embarrassed after being exposed and quickly tried to explain.

“But these things are devalued even as art,” Sister Bai persisted.

“Give me a reasonable price, and I might pick a few.”

“Alright, alright”

After some haggling with Sister Bai, the senior finally agreed to a lower price.

In the end, I had two small toys in my hand.

Their delicate structure and metallic luster made me quite fond of them.

However, after Sister Bai’s explanation, I finally understood what these two things were.

One was a small hollow ball, with another hollow ball wrapped inside.

The tinkling sound from inside was very crisp.

Without even considering its use, the craftsmanship alone seemed very valuable.

Originally, the small ball inside this concentric sphere was supposed to float, but because it was a failed product, it didn’t levitate and simply acted as a bell.

Even if this thing had succeeded, it would only be a useless piece of art.

Now, it was just a small toy.

The residual transcendent energy would still glow when shaken, which was its only remaining value.

The other item was a magical prop for performing magic tricks.

Hmm…

It felt a bit strange.

Isn't it putting the cart before the horse to use magic to perform magic tricks?

Moreover, this item was a failed product, so it couldn't even be used for magic tricks.

All that was left was a series of connected rings.

They still looked very clever when linked together, and pulling on them would produce a crisp sound.

There was also a small chance of triggering magic-concealing effects like ribbons and smoke.

From the perspective of Spirit Vision, these effects were achieved by consuming transcendent energy.

If the energy inside was completely used up, these effects would disappear entirely.

“Hehe It’s quite fun. I didn’t expect the bottom line for alchemy items to be so low.”

“Of course. Alchemy is something you learn little by little; no one can achieve it overnight. Early-stage alchemists constantly practice with resources, and only in the later stages can they create powerful alchemical products,” Bai Yu explained with a smile.

“So, Sister Bai, do you know alchemy?”

“No, I haven’t come into contact with that knowledge. Everyone can choose a different path; there’s no need to learn everything you think of. Being a jack of all trades and a master of none is the biggest problem.”

“Oh, I was just curious. I don’t have that much money to learn it anyway,” I said with a smile.

“That’s true. Let’s head back. There’s nothing fun up ahead.”

“Up ahead… Hmm, you’re right.”

I looked up ahead.

It seemed that the whole place was like this.

After the initial curiosity, what was left was boredom.

After all, I didn’t really like shopping.

I had suggested we walk around because I wanted to spend more time with Sister Bai.

“Hmm? Wait, Sister Bai, doesn’t the area up ahead seem a bit strange?”

At this moment, I hadn’t actively turned off my Spirit Vision.

After all, it provided me with a way to view the transcendent, and I was trying to adapt to this power.

Since the last time I was stumped by Tan Han, I had a new understanding and control over Spirit Vision, which greatly surprised me.

“There’s nothing up ahead. Let’s go back.”

“Wait, Sister Bai, you’re acting weird!”

I looked at Sister Bai’s reaction, and she did seem very anxious.

“I’m not acting weird. If you don’t listen, Sister Bai will have to punish you!”

Bai Yu’s tone was a bit hurried, as if I had exposed something.

“What exactly is this place?”

I felt Sister Bai pulling my arm, but I didn’t move.

Her abnormal behavior had piqued my curiosity.

So, I used my Spirit Vision to look at the street again.

I hadn’t been able to see clearly before, but now I suddenly realized that another space seemed to be superimposed on this one.

It was like the Witch Academy was superimposed on Modu, and this place was another space superimposed, covering this entire area.

But unfortunately, I could only see it and not touch it.

It wasn’t a Dream State or any other illusory space.

I could even see people moving around inside…

“Xiao Han, good children shouldn’t go in…”

Bai Yu looked at me and probably realized that I had used Spirit Vision to see the anomaly here.

She had already wanted to take Xiao Han away, but she didn’t succeed.

She should have been more forceful back then if she had known Xiao Han would discover it so quickly.

“I’m already an adult, and I’m of age. Is there any place I can’t go?”

I retorted weakly.

But even as I said that, I was still carefully observing the area.

Since there were so many people in that space, there must be a convenient way to get in.

I just didn’t know what it was yet.

“This place… This… This is…”

For a moment, Bai Yu didn't know how to explain.

She couldn't possibly say that this was “Fengqing Street,” one of the four famous streets in Witch Academy, could she?

This kind of place wasn’t even searchable on the academy map.

She originally didn’t want Xiao Han to know about this place, but who knew Xiao Han would land here?

She should have just pointed in any other direction, and it wouldn't have been as bad as the current situation.

In summary, she regretted it, deeply regretted it!

At this moment, I also found a breakthrough point.

This space had many entrances and exits, but they were very well hidden in inconspicuous places.

“Ah! Xiao Han, where are you going? Don’t run off.”

“It’s fine, I’m just looking. It’s nothing.”

I laughed and led Sister Bai to a corner.

This seemed to be one of the setup nodes.

In a normal perspective, I might not have noticed anything, but in Spirit Vision mode, I could clearly see that there was an “encryption lock” on it.

As long as I understood this relationship, it couldn’t stop me.

It was as if there was a lock here that ordinary people couldn't open, but with the help of Spirit Vision, I could "see through" it.

So as long as I understood the basic principle, I could open it with my bare hands.

Of course, I couldn’t open it with my bare hands here; I had to use my mental power.

My mental power threads, in particular, were like a master key at this moment.

Just as I extended my mental power threads, Bai Yu reacted.

She didn’t usually come to Fengqing Street, so her knowledge of the entrances and exits was limited to a few specific spots.

This was an entrance she didn't know about, but she quickly reacted.

However, it was too late.

She had initially held the thought that I definitely couldn’t open it, but she had overlooked my Floating World-level Spirit Vision.

This was a dimensionality reduction strike on a transcendent cognitive level.

As my mental power pried open the "lock," the door to this "new world" completely opened for me!

And at that moment, Sister Bai and I were both enveloped by the opened node.
