"I-I didn't know I was in the presence of such important people, please forgive my rudeness." The boy apologized. 

"It's alright. We are the ones asking something of you guys." Ming Yunyue dismissed their apologies and Nian Yingge helped them get up. 

"That's right, that's right. No need to be so formal. We're here as students of Chengyuan School after all." Shen Tianyu cheerily waved off their concerns. 

After getting formalities out of the way, they discussed with the head blacksmith about their swords. Since many of the students had yet to make their rounds to the shop, they were able to squeeze into the schedule. The blacksmith had them leave their swords there and come back to pick them up the next morning. Shen Tianyu chose a sturdy from her arsenal and handed it over. Since he was busy, it would probably be too much to have him sharpen here favorite. Besides, that one isn't exactly prime for close combat, though it could hold out for a bit. 

After handing over the payment in advance, the five of them looked around the other end of the shop where a bunch of finished armor and swords were kept. They wandered around around the warehouse in the back separately as they searched for what would fit their style. Shen Tianyu was just haphazardly looking around without paying much attention. She had about this much equipment in that strange space of hers after all. 

When they were done with their shopping, they headed directly over to Qiao Wangye's store since they needed some simple camping equipment. By the way, the boys bought two extra breast plates, while the two girls only bought one. Ming Yunyue also bought a pair of gauntlets, Lun Chang bought fortified medical bag, Nian Yingge bought a pair of reinforced metal bracers with a leather lining and Lun Aoman bought an extra sword. 

Qiao Wangye, Kuian Mingli's store was kind of like the Ikea and Costco of this world combined, except everything was already built and the customers needn't be bothered to put everything together after paying for a product. From furniture to exotic lamps to exquisite hairpins to medicine and even to some human services such as information gathering or talent scouting can all be found at his store. However, due to the shelf life, food is usually not sold here. 

"Wow, this place sure is big. Our store doesn't compare to this." Lun Chang commented before they even stepped inside.

"It's okay, Chang'er! I'll work hard to make our store bigger!" Lun Aoman chimed in, worried that his dear sister was feeling depressed. 

"Hah? No need. We don't have the finances and expanding too soon would make our chains fragile." Lun Chang immediately refuted the idea. 

"Mn." Nian Yingge agreed, always the quietest of their group.

"Well no point in standing here. We're on a deadline to get everything ready by tonight. We still need to look for some food we can use on the way." Shen Tianyu merely took a glance before she walked towards the front entrance, with the other four trailing behind. 

As expected, there were two guards at each door but they didn't stop anyone from entry or exit. People were flowing into the shop through the entrance on the left and the one on the right had people leaving with smiles on their faces. 

The group entered through the entrance on the left and immediately scaled the stairs up to the top floor. The first floor of the store was for furniture, such as beds and chaises, since it was hard to bring those up and down the stairs. The second floor was aptly named the "Lady's Floor", where they sold medicines, makeup and basic skincare products for women. The third floor was where they sold stuff targeted at cultivators, such as camping equipment, tents, reinforced clothes made from corpses of demonic beasts, and on the rare occasion, talismans.

"Welcome, precious customers. What would you be looking for?" There was a greeter at the entrance of the third floor. 

'Wow. How fancy.' Shen Tianyu thought as she nodded back in greeting and entered the shopfront. 

"Hello. We're looking for camping equipment. Would this gentleman know where they are displayed?" Ming Yunyue, being the most sociable one of the group personality-wise, was the one to ask. 

"Of course. This way." The greeter didn't say anything about the cold attitude of Shen Tianyu and led them to where the camping equipment was kept. Ming Yunyue thanked him as the others expressed it with a mere nod of their heads and he left to go back to his post.

"Hm... I'm not familiar with this. What do you think we need Miss Shen?" Ming Yunyue asked as she handed the task over. She seemed to be the most familiar out of all of them as Lun Aoman had only been on a few excursions with caravans, where other people could pick up the slack.

"If we're getting a tent, we would need that along with a some tent repair equipment like tape, cable ties, a sewing kit and spare pegs for securing it in place. Other than that, we can get sleeping bags and or additional blankets if the ground is uncomfortable. Then, there's a fire starting kit for the night and for cooking if you don't want to use up spiritual energy. There's first-aid kits, of course, but we have two Medical Division students with us so I'm not sure if they want to bring one in addition to their own supplies. A pocket knife would be good for skinning animals to cook or cutting vegetables or fruits. A compass is also a necessity if we don't want to get lost but there are also demonic beasts that can tamper with the magnetic field though we probably shouldn't have to worry about that for this mission." Shen Tianyu scanned all the supplies and noted down what was absolutely necessary. There were also weird things like tiger hide rugs and fox fur blankets or stuffed pillows covered with some other animal's hide but she just ignored them.
