Chapter 2 Cultivation Market

 Nie Xuan didn't let go, and just dragged this man forward. He didn't stop until he reached a street corner. He turned around and saw that the other person was a hunched-over middle-aged man with a long deer head and rat eyes. He looked at himself with a twisted face.

 Because when the other party was caught by him, he did not resist at all, and no spiritual energy came out of his wrist, so Nie Xuan could not figure out the identity of the other party, so he could only ask with a straight face: "Are you a cultivator? "

 No, no!" The middle-aged man nodded and said: "The villain is just a common man. Just because he saw the uncle's bulging chest, he must be hiding something good, so he couldn't help but take action. The villain has eyes." Know Taishan, please forgive me, please forgive me, I will never dare to do this again!"

 Nie Xuan snorted coldly, let go of his hand and said: "You have hands and feet, you can't do anything wrong, you have to do this kind of thing, this I'll spare you this time. If you let me see you again, you won't be so polite. Let's go!"

 The middle-aged man rubbed his wrists and bowed desperately: "I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again. Thank you very much. Sir, please spare my life, thank you very much for your spare life!" After saying that, he turned to leave.

 Nie Xuan suddenly thought that he was not familiar with the place here. This thief was obviously a local. He might know the existence of any cultivators here. Why not ask him, so he shouted: "Wait a minute!

 " The man was obedient. When he heard Nie Xuan's voice, he immediately stopped, turned around, and looked at Nie Xuan with a sad face: "Master, do you have any other instructions?" Nie Xuan said, "I want to ask you a few things!"

 " I wonder what the uncle wants to inquire about?"

 "Where is this place? Which country does it belong to? Are there any cultivators or cultivators in this county?"

 The middle-aged man's eyes rolled around a few times and said: "The uncle is from a foreign country. Man, this is the border of the Western Tang Dynasty, but I don't know what the uncle is asking about the cultivators?"

 The Western Tang Kingdom and the Dongyuan Kingdom bordered each other. Nie Xuan felt a little confident. Hearing the middle-aged man's rhetorical question, he said coldly: "If you know, just say it. If you don't know, just leave. What are you talking about!"

 "Yes, yes, yes!" "After being glared at by Nie Xuan, the middle-aged man felt a little guilty and said: "But uncle, you have asked the right person. Most people really don't know..."

 Nie Xuan coughed impatiently, and the middle-aged man hurriedly said He changed his words and said: "There are no cultivators in this county. However, about five hundred miles to the west from here, there is Guhong Mountain. The mountain is extremely steep and rarely visited on weekdays. However, on the fifteenth day of every month, there is a lively atmosphere there. Yes!"

 The middle-aged man glanced at Nie Xuan and found that Nie Xuan had no expression on his face. He swallowed and asked cautiously: "You should know about the Cultivation Market, right?"

 Nie Xuan had never heard of any Cultivation Market. But he didn't answer, just said expressionlessly: "Go on, what a lively way!"

 "On the fifteenth day of every month, a cultivator market will be held on the top of Guhong Mountain. At that time, cultivators within a thousand miles will They all come here. They set up stalls and do business just like us common people, but they sell things that can only be used by cultivators. If you want to find cultivators, this is the nearest place to go! "

 Nie Xuan couldn't help but move in his heart. He really didn't expect that there would be a cultivation market. He happened to want to sell magic weapons. It seemed that he had to go to Guhong Mountain, but he also happened to meet the cultivators of Tianqiong Continent.

 Thinking of this, Nie Xuan then looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "What's the date today?"

 "Today is fourteen, and tomorrow will be fifteen. If you want to go to the Cultivation Market, you should leave immediately. You should be able to make it in time!" The man said with a flattering smile.

 Nie Xuan nodded and said, "I understand!" After saying that, he ignored the middle-aged man and strode out.

 When Nie Xuan's back disappeared into the crowd, the middle-aged man who had always been hunched over slowly straightened his body. His deer-headed and rat-eyed face actually glowed with a divine light, and an unpredictable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

 Although the Cultivation Market is extremely unfamiliar to Nie Xuan, it is already a long-standing tradition in the world of Cultivation.

 Any cultivation sect, no matter how many disciples it has or how powerful it is, cannot have everything needed for cultivation, especially magical weapons, spiritual pills, and even spiritual stones that are indispensable for cultivators. Something less.

 Maybe you have a magic weapon, but no spiritual elixir, or you have a spiritual elixir but no spiritual stone. If you want to get what you don't have, you can only find other cultivators to buy or exchange it, so this has contributed to the creation of the cultivator market. Appear.

 At the beginning, this kind of cultivation items were only exchanged and bought among small groups of cultivators within various sects. As the number of cultivators increased, the demand for locks of various cultivation items increased. , gradually expanded the scope of this kind of exchange and trading, and many cultivators regardless of sect began to gather together to conduct transactions.

 However, because many cultivators would take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, steal or rob, over time, several large cultivation sects on the Sky Continent reached a consensus. In order to better help cultivators cultivate, they began to take the initiative to regulate The existence of the Cultivation Market.

 For example, based on the number of cultivators in a certain area, it is stipulated to set up a location within a certain area, hold a market every few days, how many days the market lasts, etc., and the duration of each market When held, many cultivation sects within this region take turns to maintain order, and then the cultivators participating in the transaction pay a certain fee.

 Guhongshan is the location of a cultivator market. There are a lot of cultivators within a thousand miles of it, so it is stipulated to be held once a month and last for one day. Although it officially starts on the fifteenth day of each month, However, cultivators who want to sell things must arrive in advance because they must register with the sect responsible for maintaining order this time and pay a fee.

 At noon, Nie Xuan had arrived at the foot of Guhong Mountain. He found that the mountain was about a hundred feet high and extremely steep. There were no basic mountain paths. From time to time, rainbow lights flashed across the sky and landed on the top of the mountain. This showed that there was cultivation. The reader has arrived here.

 Nie Xuan originally wanted to fly up with his sword, but he remembered his adoptive father's advice that his soul sword was a high-grade magic weapon. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to climb up the mountain. Anyway, in the past year, he He has to carry hundreds of kilograms of weight and climb mountains several times every day. Although Guhong Mountain is a bit steep, for him, it doesn't take much effort to climb it.

 However, when Nie Xuan was just about to start climbing the mountain, a sudden shout came from behind him: "Stop!" The voice of the speaker was very bad.

 Nie Xuan frowned slightly and turned around. He saw a young man holding a folding fan walking out from behind a strange rock. He shook the fan in his hand and walked slowly over.
