Chapter 1050: No Joking Allowed
Second You led Fang Bai at a brisk pace, introducing him to various aspects of the Martial Artists Trading Market along the way, which gave Fang Bai a good understanding of it.According to Second You, this largest Martial Artists Trading Market in Thousand Lakes Country had been established by the Purple Flame Sect for tens of thousands of years. The Inspectorate was an inspection and management body set up here by the Purple Flame Sect, where martial artists wanting to conduct transactions could pay a fee and rent a stall.
The responsibility of the Inspectorate was to maintain the market’s order and protect the interests of the martial artists trading there.
Members of the Inspectorate all came from the disciples of the Purple Flame Sect, composed of one elder with mid-Vast Level cultivation and ten disciples with mid-Desolate Level and twenty with early Desolate Level cultivation from the Sect’s internal and External Courtyard.
Such a force was strong enough to easily eradicate a fourth-rank sect, so the martial artists engaged in transactions within the market all followed the rules; they dared not engage in forced buying or selling, lest they receive strict punishment from the martial artists of the Inspectorate.
Soon, the well-acquainted Second You had brought Fang Bai to the Inspectorate at the heart of the trading market. They paid a thousand low-grade Essence Stones and rented a stall for ten days.
The reason for renting for ten days was that Fang Bai had estimated they might need to stay in Purple Flame City for around ten days before and after the sect’s grand assembly.
The stall Fang Bai rented was in a remote location, tucked away in a corner of the market, rarely passed by any martial artists. When Second You suggested exchanging the stall for a better one, Fang Bai politely declined.
For Fang Bai, it was like the saying, "A good wine needs no bush." As long as he could build a reputation, martial artists would soon seek him out.
And that thousand low-grade Essence Stone rental fee was also paid by Second You on Fang Bai’s behalf, to which Fang Bai did not comment.
Fang Bai understood Second You’s intentions; one was to curry favor with him, the other was feeling guilty for taking advantage of him during their earlier transaction, considering it a form of compensation.
A thousand low-grade Essence Stones should be nothing for a power like Second You at Heaven Level Perfection. Since he had paid on Fang Bai’s behalf, Fang Bai accepted his kind gesture with a smile.
The two arrived at the stall in the northwest corner of the market. Second You looked around and sighed with a wry smile, "This place is exceptionally secluded, almost no martial artists pass by here... Senior Bai, why don’t we go and find a better spot?"housand pieces of low-grade Essence Stones per character. Many stands in the market have signs written by him!"
Fang Bai uttered an "Oh," thinking to himself that Martial Artists really would do anything to earn Cultivation Resources. A thousand low-grade Essence Stones for a single character was indeed not cheap.
And Second You, trying to please him, was willing to pay the cost.
"Senior Bai, in this Martial Artists Trading Market, there are two Alchemists and two Artifact Refiners. They have been operating here for many years, have extensive connections, and have relationships with many Sects and factions. Now that you have also entered this business, it is inevitable that you will compete with them. If they come to provoke you, try to keep a low profile... I don’t mean anything by it; it’s just that since you are new here and have no backing, I’m worried you might be bullied..."
Second You was only halfway through his advice when he stopped, thinking to himself if Senior Bai couldn’t even understand his words, then he would be truly foolish.
