Chapter 63 Brother, You Are a Good Person
“My senior brother from Qingyang Sect, you have a good eye. You took a liking to this gourd at first sight. Although this gourd may look inconspicuous, it is something I found from the Shangyang Ruins. It is impervious to water and fire.

Unfortunately, I have studied it for three years but have not been able to figure out its function.

As the saying goes, treasures await destined people. Perhaps Senior Brother is its destined owner. For 80 mid-grade spirit stones, I will transfer this treasure to Senior Brother..."

"You've praised a broken purple sun gourd so much, why don't you become a storyteller? I just thought it looked pretty good and wanted to buy it to play with. I bought it for 30 low-grade spirit stones."

"Brother, this is not an ordinary purple sun gourd. Look at the array pattern on it..."

"A variation of the water and fire patterns."

"Brother, please give me some more, 50 low-grade spirit stones. If it's any lower, I might as well keep it for myself to play with!"

"35, any more and I'll turn around and leave!"

"Okay, since you really want it, I'll give it to you. Just consider it as making friends..."

……

After walking around the market for a few times, Li Ye figured out the structure of the market.

This is a trading meeting held by the five cultivation sects: Qingyang Sect, Wuji Sect, Shenjian Sect, Lingyun Temple, and Tiansong Mountain for their disciples.

It is open for five days every month for disciples from different sects to trade magic weapons, elixirs, magical instruments, etc.

Disciples of higher levels can transform their unused magic weapons into spirit stones, and disciples of lower levels can exchange them for treasures that suit them at the right price at the market.

Both parties get what they need and everyone is happy.

Over time, independent cultivators from the surrounding areas also joined in, searching the market for treasures they needed.

With more transactions, some smart disciples would make some fake magic weapons to deceive their fellow disciples who are ignorant of the world, and those who lack vision would be deceived.

However, even if you buy fakes at the market, the five major sects will not pursue your responsibility. Identifying elixirs and magic weapons is a compulsory course for every practitioner.

If you buy fake goods at the market, you can only blame yourself for not practicing enough...

Trading at the market can also be considered a form of training for disciples.

Rather than calling it a bazaar, it is more like an antique trading market like Panjiayuan, where buying and selling are entirely based on experience and vision, and once a transaction is concluded, the consequences are at the individual's own risk.

However, buying and selling counterfeit goods is allowed, but revenge, robbery and murder afterwards are absolutely not allowed.

The five sects will take turns assigning disciples to maintain order in the market. Once the above situation occurs, the sects will severely punish these disciples.

Safety is also the reason why this market can exist for a long time.

……

A handful of sand can be called star sand, and a piece of gray wood can be called celestial fir wood...

There were all kinds of strange things on the stalls. In the eyes of Li Ye, a novice in cultivation, everything was new.

It’s a bit difficult!
Looking at the disciples bargaining at the stalls, Li Ye complained in his heart about the difficulty of survival.

In the previous world, he forced his way in, won over a group of martial artists, and quickly integrated into that world.

But here, I am still using the routines of the previous world. I am afraid that I will die too quickly.

No matter how difficult it is, you have to fit in. The market has entered its last day and will end at dark.

If he missed this opportunity, he might not even be able to enter other people’s sects.

However, judging from the order of the market, the several sects should be reputable and upright, so safety should not be a problem.

……

"Senior brother from Qingyang Sect, can anyone set up a stall here?" Li Ye stopped a young man in green clothes, clasped his fists and bowed deeply to him, and asked timidly.

He had been observing for a long time. The young man he chose was easy-going, never bargained when buying things, and was generous. As long as he liked something, he would buy it directly regardless of the price.

Whenever he came across a stall run by a female cultivator, he would blush whenever he spoke to them, and he even dared not look them in the face.

He is definitely a newbie in cultivation, and his status in the sect should be quite high.

The Monster Hunting Office has a special course on identifying people, and this is what they teach.

As for why Li Ye knew that he was from Qingyang Sect?
The disciples of the several sects are very easy to distinguish.

The ones wearing green clothes are from the Qingyang Sect, the ones with the Bagua pattern on their clothes are from the Wuji Sect, the ones wearing black clothes and carrying swords are from the Shenjian Sect, the ones wearing Taoist robes are from the Lingyun Temple, and the ones with pine trees embroidered on their sleeves are from the Tiansong Mountain.

Those who wear strange clothes are all casual cultivators...

The young man returned the greeting: "You're welcome. This master... little brother, it's true that anyone can set up a stall here, but I see that you have a strong blood and energy, and you are a warrior. If you set up a stall here, I'm afraid no one will be interested in your things."

"Brother, you have a good eye." Li Ye smiled and said, "I am indeed a martial artist, but my dream is to become a cultivator who can fly into the sky and hide underground. A few days ago, I accidentally entered a cave and picked up a secret book and some things that belong to cultivators.

But I tried every way to get the secret book, but I couldn't get it. I heard that there was a cultivator fair held by Qingyang Sect, so I wanted to try my luck here and see if I could get into a cultivation sect..."

Hearing that Li Ye had picked up a secret book, the young man's eyes lit up. He pulled Li Ye to a corner, lowered his voice, and asked, "You picked up a secret book?"

"Yeah." Li Ye nodded and took out an energy bar from his sleeve. "And these things, they are sweet and delicious. I won't feel hungry for a whole day if I eat one."

The energy bar was specially made by the Monster Hunting Office. There was no text or logo on the outer packaging. It was vacuum packed and looked like compressed biscuits...

Li Ye originally planned to set up a stall to sell these energy bars, exchange them for some spirit stones, and then look for the target and take it step by step.

But after seeing the young man, he changed his mind.

"What material is this?" The young man's eyes were immediately attracted by the packaging of the energy bar. He took the energy bar from Li Ye's hand, "It looks like silk but not silk, like cloth but not cloth, and it's extremely smooth..."

"I don't know. It's easy to open. It's easy to tear open." Li Ye said as he was about to tear open the energy bar. "The food inside is delicious."

"Don't." The young man stopped him and asked, "What is the name of the secret book you picked up?"

"The Five Elements Mutual Generation Method and a book called The Secret of Calming the Mind." Li Ye said, "Brother, if I give you these things and the secret book, would you be willing to guide me?"

"Show me the secret book." said the young man.

"After I read the secret book, it was blown away by the wind." Li Ye smiled awkwardly, "But I have a photographic memory and I can remember all the contents in my mind. I can recite it to my senior brother, close my eyes, sit in meditation, and clench my fists to meditate..."

Seeing Li Ye eager to recite the secret book, the young man interrupted him: "Wait."

Li Ye looked at the young man in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Little brother, you are too trusting." The young man smiled and shook his head, saying, "Aren't you afraid that I will listen to your secrets and ignore you in the end?"

"Don't worry, I won't memorize all the secrets." Li Ye blinked a few times, revealing a bit of cunning, and said, "I have observed you for a long time. You always blush when talking to girls. A person who blushes when talking to girls must be a kind person."

Teng!
The young man's face suddenly turned red, and he looked around: "What nonsense, when did I blush?"

"Just now, at that stall..." Li Ye's performance was even more innocent than that of the young man. He widened his eyes, turned around and pointed at the stall that the young man had visited, trying to prove that what he said was true.

The young man quickly grabbed his hand and covered his mouth: "Don't say anything, you must have seen it wrong. Come on, I'll take you to see my brother and let him see what these are. If the secret book is useful, I can ask my brother to give you a place to enter. If not, I can't help you."

Perhaps the young man sensed the same qualities in Li Ye as himself, or perhaps the packaging of the energy bar impressed him, so he decided to give Li Ye a chance.

Li Ye was overjoyed and bowed again: "Thank you, Senior Brother. I was thinking of selling these things and exchanging them for some spirit stones to give to the senior brothers over there so that they can guide me. Senior Brother is really a good person..."

"Don't be happy too soon." The young man glanced at him and said, "If you don't have the qualifications, even if you meet the senior brother, he may not let you stay."

"I understand." Li Ye nodded heavily, his eyes firm. "I was not kept because it was not my destiny. I will continue to work hard and find other opportunities. Joining a cultivation sect is my dream and my master's dream. My master is gone, and I will definitely join a cultivation sect in this life to fulfill his last wish..."
