After nightfall, the inner courtyard came alive with activity.
Some martial artists were moving back and forth on the blue stone-paved roads.
They mostly trained during the day and ceased at dusk, not only to rest but also to stroll around the academy.
They usually went to the outer courtyard to exchange ideas, or to clear their state of mind.
And Shang Qing, too, would appear in the outer courtyard at this time to conduct his business and earn Spirit Stones.
Weapons, demon pills, Spiritual Medicine, and the like were all available in abundance.
As long as you could pay with Yuan Stones, Shang Qing, with the advantage of his family backing, could procure almost anything.
Of course, this was also related to the fact that everyone in the Heavenly Book Academy was a martial artist.
The demands of martial artists were something a family like Shang Qing's could readily fulfill.
