Market.

Ever since Liang Sheng learned about the potential clue to the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe in the black market, he paid close attention to related information.

After observing the market for many days, he finally got some leads today. It appeared that someone in the eastern part of the market had connections with the black market.

That day, Liang Sheng discreetly roamed around several alleys, each time subtly altering his appearance. After a few instances, he became unrecognizable from his original form.

Upon reaching the eastern part of the market, Liang Sheng spotted his target immediately. A stall owner with an eye covered by a black piece of cloth was very distinctive.

Qi Cultivation Fivefold.

The stall owners cultivation level wasnt very high, and his appearance gave off an intimidating aura. As a result, not many people lingered at his stall.

At that moment, Liang Sheng didnt keep a close watch at his target. Instead, he set up his stall across from him, not too far away.

Liang Sheng displayed a few lower-ranked talismans like the Vajra Talisman and the Heart Clearing Talisman on his stall, and then began to meditate with his eyes closed.

The other stall owners glanced at Liang Shengs talismans and then lost interest. After all, he was just a Loose Cultivator at Qi Cultivation Third Layer, hardly worth notice.

For his part, Liang Sheng didnt mind. This was the effect he wanted; his attention was actually fixed on the one-eyed cultivator.

In the course of the afternoon, a few people bought items from the one-eyed cultivators stall. Throughout their conversations, Liang Sheng didnt hear any hints about the black market.

Yet, Liang Sheng wasnt in a rush. In the meantime, he sold a few talismans and earned two low-grade spirit stones.

As the sun began to set, Liang Sheng was the first to pack up his stall. Fie then wandered around a few other stalls before leaving without a word, as if he didnt find anything that piqued his interest.

The next day, Liang Sheng changed his appearance as before and returned to the same location. However, he seemed to have arrived too early since the One-Eyed cultivator didnt show up.

Feeling a bit helpless, Liang Sheng continued to set up his stall. To his surprise, the one-eyed cultivator did not appear for two more days.

On the third day, he finally made an appearance. Liang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, but noticed that his target looked somewhat tired. This made him more vigilant.

Ordinary cultivators wouldnt appear so exhausted unless they had expended significant energy within the last three days.

Moreover, he noticed that everything on the One-Eyed cultivators stall was completely replaced. There was even a 6o-year-old spiritual grass, although it was just ordinary Nourishing Heart Grass. Its age made it a rarity.

Since all the spiritual grass in the nearby forests had been picked, it was no small feat for the One-Eyed cultivator to have a 6o-year-old piece of Nourishing Heart Grass.

Upon seeing this, Liang Sheng was reassured that he was heading in the right direction. Perhaps his target really had clues about the black market. If not, where did the Nourishing Heart Grass come from?

After a moments thought, Liang Sheng stood up, walked to the One-Eyed cultivators stall, and asked, How much for the Nourishing Heart Grass?

The One-Eyed cultivator raised his head slightly, looked at Liang Sheng, and hoarsely replied, Thirty low-grade spirit stones.

Liang Sheng was taken aback for a moment in disbelief. Afterward, he whispered slightly, Could there be a discount?

The One-Eyed cultivator didnt reply nor look at him, Fixed price.

Liang Sheng pretended to be hesitating and somewhat reluctant. After a deep sigh, he eventually said, Regrettably, it seems were not fated.

Liang Sheng shook his head and walked away. The One-Eyed cultivator didnt seem to care, and the other cultivators who saw this had no reactions either.bender

After all, who could easily afford thirty spirit stones?

There were quite a few Loose Cultivators in the market who could refine pills, but most of them had mediocre skills. The Hundred-Year Nourishing Heart Grass could be used to refine many spiritual pills, but who could guarantee success in alchemy?

However, no one saw that when Liang Sheng turned around and left, a piece of talisman paper had already stuck to the One-Eyed cultivators body and then vanished instantly.

This was the tracking talisman Liang Sheng had crafted earlier. With his cultivation level, he could attach the talisman to his target instantly. As dusk fell, Liang Sheng closed his shop and headed home.

The One-Eyed cultivator would not be able to escape his tracking.

Meanwhile

Chen Mo had been in a foul mood these past few days. With Liang Shengs warning, he naturally noticed he was being shadowed.

Someone was indeed secretly trailing him.

Although he maintained his usual demeanor on the surface, inwardly he wondered who was plotting against him.

He had already handed the Lingxi Grass to Ding Yizhen. Was someone aiming for the resources he had exchanged with Ding Yizhen?

Chen Mo had no idea. However, Liang Sheng had been in closed-door cultivation recently and hadnt shown up for several days. And with his own problems, he didnt feel the need to bother him.

He understood Liang Shengs absence. After all, Liang Sheng was just a Loose Cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Third Layer. Plus, it was human nature to veer towards benefits and avoid harm.

If he had been in Liang Shengs position, he would have made the same choice. However, for now, Chen Mo didnt need to worry about his safety. Generally speaking, the market wasnt a dangerous place.

Ding Yizhen was not just a showpiece. In the matter of maintaining the safety of the market, the Three Sects and Six Orders had a unanimous stance. This was the markets bottom line.

If Loose Cultivators had life-or-death grudges, they could leave the market. Whatever they did afterwards would then be none of their concern..
