1872 Haitian Market 3
“Elder Miss, nothing serious, but we are nearing our arrival at Haitian Market, and we thought it would be a good opportunity for you to take a look,” Sword One replied.
Gu Chaoyan had instructed them not to enter the wagon and to avoid disturbing her unless necessary. So, if they needed anything, they would speak with her outside.
They were almost there?
Out of curiosity, Gu Chaoyan instinctively lifted the curtain and gazed ahead.
Now she understood what Zhao Dier had meant – Huais.h.i.+ couldn’t compare to the magnificence of Haitian Market, which was renowned as a premier establishment.
Unlike Huais.h.i.+, which was situated in a rather secluded location, Haitian Market resembled a bustling town. In fact, it even surpa.s.sed the capital of the Saint Divine Land in grandeur.
Moreover, Haitian Market operated with high standards. There were dedicated personnel stationed outside, conducting regular patrols.
Instead of entering directly, the wagon halted outside Haitian Market.
Gu Chaoyan felt puzzled and turned to Dao Seeking. “What’s going on?”
Lingyun approached and explained, “Elder Miss, it seems we need to take a rest at the inn located outside Haitian Market.”
“….”
“Haitian Market is bustling and vibrant, and it doesn’t matter where you’re from or what your purpose is,” Lingyun explained. “But if you wish to enter Haitian, you must offer something that can be sold there. Not everyone is granted entry.” She pointed to the throngs of people outside the market. “Those individuals are currently not allowed in either because they lack valuable items or because they have nothing to offer.”
Such strict regulations made sense.
If everyone could freely enter Haitian, it would descend into chaos.
However, they didn’t possess anything of significant value. They only had a few low-level magical weapons provided by Elder Gao Xiu, which fell short of the standard required for entry into Haitian.
“What should we do? How can we gain access?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.
“Let’s find a place to settle down first. There’s a smaller market outside the main market where individuals can bring one or two Dharma artifacts into Haitian,” Lingyun suggested. “We can try partic.i.p.ating in auctions there. However, keep in mind that those auctioning Dharma artifacts and enchanted armaments might not necessarily have what we seek. They may desire specific items in return before they part with their offerings.”
“…”
“Let’s give it a try,” Lingyun proposed.
Gu Chaoyan agreed.
Thus, she instructed her companions to make arrangements for their lodging.
Truth be told, Gu Chaoyan was even more intrigued by Haitian Market. She believed they could discover many fascinating things there.
However, the pressing question remained: how would they obtain what they desired?
To those who practiced cultivation, jewelry held little value.
They lacked magical weapons.
However…
Gu Chaoyan had a hunch that the pills she had refined could potentially be exchanged for something valuable in Haitian.
The people from Piaomiao Pavilion had always considered their pills to be top-notch, but Gu Chaoyan believed that her own creations surpa.s.sed them.
Perhaps…
Her pills would thrive in Haitian. At that point, they would have the means to acquire everything they desired.
