Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Trading Market_1

Asking for directions is a minor matter, and you are unlikely to be mocked for it.

Thus, Ling Xiao quickly found his way to the trading market.

This trading market is generally a place for internal trades within the Moon Hua Sect, though occasionally outsiders do come, but those are exceptions.

Upon arriving at the trading market, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but be astonished.

For Outer Disciples like him, even those who are Half-step Grandmasters, they only serve as manual laborers here.

Those who can afford to purchase with Spirit Stones are mostly Inner Sect Disciples, all above the Transcendent Realm.

In the past, he thought perhaps there were too few experts in the Moon Hua Sect, but now he realized he had indeed been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.

Here, on a casual stroll, you’d encounter disciples or Vice Hall Masters, Hall Masters, Elders, and such, from the Transcendent Eightfold Realm, Transcendent Nine Realms, and even the Heavenly Man Realm.

Luckily, it’s not allowed to release one’s aura at will here; otherwise, Ling Xiao felt he wouldn’t be able to stay, and those laboring Outer Disciples would probably faint on the spot.

Ants, huh?

Ling Xiao smiled.

He admitted that he was indeed an ant right now.

But that was okay, who hasn’t started from the life of an ant?

So what about the Transcendent Realm?

Or the Heavenly Man Realm?

He believed he would soon reach that level.

Of course, seeing this scene strengthened his resolve to improve his cultivation, and his determination to train grew even more steadfast.

Especially those whose prowess reached the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer and the Heavenly Man Realm, who could casually take out Upper-grade Spirit Stones for trade, filled him with envy.

...

The trading market was not much different from the secular world’s food markets.

It was mainly divided into stalls and shops.

By paying a certain rent, one could sell items here.

Of course, the rent could only be paid in Spirit Stones and had to be given to the person in charge of the trading market.

Although the strength of this person in charge was only at the Transcendent Nine Realms, his authority was not small at all.

Having looked around a bit, Ling Xiao found that although this was only an internal market for the Sect, the goods available were extremely varied.

There were fresh vegetables, fruits, and meats transported from the secular world, which could be bought with silver and gold.

There were also vegetables and fruits enriched with Spiritual Qi cultivated by the Sect, as well as Spirit Beast meats bred by the Sect.

Naturally, these could only be bought with Spirit Stones, not only delicious but also particularly beneficial to martial artists.

Besides, there were various weapons refined by the Equipment Hall, various pills refined by the Pharmacy Hall, and some materials for Artifact Refining and Alchemy.

Then there were some Martial Arts Secret Manuals permitted for trade by the Sect, which were quite popular and common outside the Sect but still of decent rank.

They included near Gold Grade Martial Arts and even Beginner Stage Gold Grade Martial Arts.

However, the prices for these were a bit too high, and Ling Xiao certainly couldn’t afford them for the time being.

However, he did discover a good method to earn money.

The price of Alchemy materials here was relatively cheap, whereas the price of pills was almost exceedingly high.

He roughly calculated that the price difference was nearly tenfold.

For instance, the top-quality True Essence Pills he made, all the materials purchased together cost just ten low-grade Spirit Stones, while the finished top-quality True Essence Pill would sell for one hundred low-grade Spirit Stones each.

Even so, this item often runs out of stock.

As for the lower-tier Yellow Grade Spirit Pill "Transcendent Body Sculpting Pill", one pill is valued at over ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!

Ling Xiao, being one of the Outer Disciples with a comparatively abundant amount of Spirit Stones, only had three hundred low-grade Spirit Stones to his name, not nearly enough to afford even one of these pills.

Moreover, that ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones is just the asking price; some people would bid thirty to forty thousand for the chance to snatch one up.

Ling Xiao was currently incapable of making top-grade pills, but even the unremarkable top-quality True Essence Pills were quite valuable.

After much thought, he realized this indeed was a splendid path to wealth, no wonder others say the two wealthiest types of people in the Sect are.

One type is the Alchemist.

The other type is the Artifact Refining Master.

First, he spent one low-grade Spirit Stone to buy ten Array Refining Stones, then used the remaining three hundred low-grade Spirit Stones to buy all the materials needed to refine the top-quality True Essence Pills.

With this, making thirty top-quality True Essence Pills should be no problem since his success rate is a hundred percent. As long as no one interferes, failure is almost impossible, so there’s no issue with wasted materials.

There’s no need to buy Lingwood Charcoal or an Alchemy Furnace; after all, he is a disciple of Yuan Venerate, borrowing the Lingwood Charcoal and Alchemy Furnace from the Pharmacy Hall shouldn’t be any trouble.

It’s said that Lingwood Charcoal can only be used to refine insignificant pills. If one wishes to refine better top-grade pills, then they have to use superior fuel.

Of course, that is not something Ling Xiao needs to worry about for now.

For him, being able to refine unremarkable pills is sufficient.

The so-called top-grade pills are simply categorized into Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow grades, with each grade then divided into lower, middle, high, finest, and supreme - five sub-levels.

Unremarkable pills also have five sub-levels, and the top-quality True Essence Pill belongs to the supreme class of the unremarkable ones, which is quite good.

At the very least, in the secular world, these are considered top-level pills, and even within the Sect, they are excellent pills for Outer Disciples.

Even experts in the first three layers of the Transcendent Realm need these relatively inexpensive pills to replenish their True Essence, so there’s no issue with sales.

Besides that, he spent all the silver he had on him and managed to buy some materials for refining the "Martial Vein Body Shaping Pills".

By rough estimation, he could refine about ten of them.

The Martial Vein Body Shaping Pill also belongs to the supreme class of unremarkable pills, with the same function as the Transcendent Body Sculpting Pill, but much less effective, and only Martial Artists in the Martial Vein Realm can use it.

The selling price of this pill is also around one hundred low-grade Spirit Stones each, but the materials needed to make it are a bit cheaper than those required for the top-quality True Essence Pill; the material cost for one pill is just eight low-grade Spirit Stones.

After making his purchases, Ling Xiao turned around to leave.

He did want to spend more time here, but that would be meaningless, just a waste of time.

"Ling Xiao!"

Who would have thought that just after he stepped out of the trading market’s gate, someone called out to him.

When he looked up, it was none other than Xu Ying, who hadn’t shown her face in the Outer Sect for quite a while.

Standing beside Xu Ying was another person, Ming Tian.

Currently, the clothes of both bore the distinctive marks that only Inner Sect Disciples are entitled to, which is very conspicuous.

"Xu Ying, I haven’t congratulated you yet, you’ve really managed to latch onto the coattails of Demonflame Celestial. It looks like your cultivation level has also improved quite a bit!"

Ling Xiao ignored Ming Tian and spoke indifferently to Xu Ying.

"Tsh, dogs can’t spit out ivory, your words are so unpleasant,"

Xu Ying cursed, "By the way, you, an Outer Disciple, what are you doing at the trading market? The Pharmacy Hall doesn’t want you anymore, so you’ve come back to the trading market to look for work?"

Her words were dripping with scorn.
