"Selling Profound Frost Grass, freshly picked hundred-year-old Profound Frost Grass~~"

"You’re talking nonsense! Isn’t it just Profound Frost Grass that recently grew in the Demon God Barrier? Where do you get hundred-year-old grass from, trying to fool people!"

"You’re quite naive. The so-called hundred-year reference pertains to the medicinal strength contained within the herb."

"This batch of Profound Frost Grass has been stimulated by the Power of Rules from two worlds, with medicinal strength far exceeding hundred years."

"Hehe..."

Strolling through the marketplace outside of Ruyang City, Lin Zheyu listened with curiosity to the haggling between vendors and cultivators, from which he learned a lot of intriguing information.

This ordinary marketplace, due to the emergence of the Demon God Barrier, has begun to show signs of becoming a Cultivation Marketplace.

Now that the space-time node is completely open, the Demon God Barrier is very likely to become a destination for cultivators to train and explore.

Unlike last time, upon revisiting the marketplace, Lin Zheyu discovered a special array set up outside, preventing ordinary people from entering.

Only cultivators can enter this marketplace.

"Do you buy Demon Cattle?"

Lin Zheyu asked at a stall that read ’Purchasing Demonic Flesh’.

Before setting off to the Demon God Barrier last time, Lin Zheyu had specifically researched which demons and herbs were valuable, and had killed quite a few.

"We do."

"But Demon Cattle isn’t as valuable now. We only offer 150 low-grade Spirit Stones for a mature Demon Cattle," the vendor responded with a smile.

When scarce, the price soared due to a prominent figure buying up Demon Cattle flesh, reaching the exaggerated amount of 300 low-grade Spirit Stones.

Now, with that figure’s needs satisfied, the price of Demon Cattle has returned to normal levels.

"Alright."

"Take a look at these demonic carcasses and magic plants, and give me a price."

Lin Zheyu casually took out over a dozen varied storage bags from his bosom.

These storage bags were acquired from adversaries; during this trip to the Demon God Barrier, Lin Zheyu collected numerous storage bags.

If not for using the storage bag to carry Demon River, which rendered the bag unusable due to Demonic Energy corrosion, Lin Zheyu would have had more storage bags.

"Okay, please wait a moment, Senior. I will take a look,"

The vendor, seeing Lin Zheyu take out so many storage bags, flashed a friendly smile.

Finally encountered a major customer.

True powerhouses often have formidable forces backing them, rarely selling demonic flesh and materials to these vendors.

In all this time at the stall, Lin Zheyu was only the second major client he encountered.

The middle-aged vendor emptied the contents of the storage bags one by one.

Seeing the variety of rare demons, plants, and herbs displayed, excitement flickered in the man’s eyes.

"Demon Cattle... Red Ghost Clam... Wuyang Salamander... hiss, you’ve even found Gray Demon Pigeon, such a rare demon."

The man couldn’t help but mumble quietly, his heart filled with eagerness.

Besides demons, Lin Zheyu’s storage bags contained numerous peculiar herbs, mostly acquired from slain enemies.

"Whew~"

After inspecting all the storage bags, the man took a deep breath to suppress his astonishment and delight.

"Senior, for all these demonic bodies and various herbs, I’m willing to offer 4 middle-grade Spirit Stones for the lot."

"Such a price isn’t just competitive here, but also unmatched at nearby marketplaces."

"This is a gesture of goodwill from our Ten Thousand Miles Alliance; we hope Senior will sell all future demonic kills and herb acquisitions to us."

The man said respectfully.

Then he took out an antique jade token from the storage bag, engraved with the image of an eagle soaring with wings spread.

"This is the VIP jade token of our Ten Thousand Miles Alliance. Holding this token when purchasing from our shops entitles you to VIP status."

The man respectfully held out the jade token with both hands.

"Alright."

Lin Zheyu was somewhat surprised, but kept his expression neutral as he accepted the jade token.

He had heard of the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance, a renowned commercial alliance in the cultivation realm. Though not as large or powerful as Lingyun Pavilion, it excelled in certain aspects.

Such as dealings related to demonic flesh, materials, and rare items; in the Great Wei Cultivation Realm, the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance is the best.

Seeing Lin Zheyu accept the jade token, the man let his face light up with joy.

He called over a companion, instructed him briefly, before the companion entered the shop behind and soon emerged with a delicate storage bag.

"Here are your Spirit Stones, totaling 4 middle-grade Spirit Stones, please take them, Senior."

The man respectfully handed over the storage bag with a smile.

"By the way, I’ve heard the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance mainly deals with business related to demons; do you have powerful Demon Skills for sale?"

"Or research tomes related to demonic magic patterns?"

Lin Zheyu asked nonchalantly, feeling slightly intrigued.

"We do."

"However, this marketplace only has a small branch of the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance. If Senior wishes to purchase Demon Skills and magic pattern tomes, you’d need to visit a nearby Cultivation Marketplace."

The middle-aged man smiled cordially and replied respectfully.

"Oh."

"Do you have a map of the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance shop locations?"

"I’m new here and not very familiar with the surroundings," Lin Zheyu said casually.

He only knew of one Cultivation Marketplace, which he preferred not to visit.

The elder who appeared sage-like but gave Lin Zheyu a subtle sense of danger made him reluctant to encounter him again.
