Chapter 4: Free Trade Market

  The Dahsia Empire is the overlord of the Dahsia world, the only unified imperial dynasty, with a strong and powerful force that can be called invincible in this realm.

  Of course, in the four directions of the Great Xia Empire, there are some other forces, mostly some alien tribes, whose strength is not weak, and they often have some friction with the Great Xia Empire, but it can't change the overall situation.

  The Great Xia Empire implemented a system of enfeoffment, where over 100,000 years, a total of 800 kings and 3,600 marquises were appointed to guard the four cardinal directions.

  Xia Wutang is King Yongcheng, guarding Yongcheng County, under which there are three counties. Among the 800 kings, both strength and status are in the middle.

  As one of the eight hundred counties, in the Great Xia Empire, Yongcheng County was a first-rate county city, not only with a vast area but also with a prosperous degree that did not disappoint.

  After staying in the mansion for a few days, after entering the Purple Air Rising Dragon Technique, Xia Tian finally couldn't stay any longer and quietly slipped out of the mansion alone.

  This time out of the house, in addition to wanting to recall where he used to live, he also wanted to get some cultivation resources to accelerate his cultivation progress.

  Reborn after ten thousand years, the cultivation of Dasheng Golden Immortal in summer is no longer there, but the heart and enlightenment that once were are still there, and starting to cultivate again will not have a bottleneck.

  Out of the mansion, along a quiet alley, Xia Tian walked for a distance before getting onto the main road in the city. The lively atmosphere hit him right in the face.

  As the center of Yongcheng County's Wanli range, there are not a few people living in the county town, with millions of them. On the main road, you can feel the sufficient atmosphere everywhere.

  Looking at the familiar alleys, streets, buildings, and the layout of the whole city, summer feels so familiar, so intimate.

  This familiar and intimate atmosphere did not last long in the summer, roughly recognizing the direction, and then heading towards the direction of the free trade market.

  Free market, as the name suggests, is a place where you can trade freely and buy and sell at will. The things inside are difficult to distinguish between true and false, good and bad.

  Although he was a first-class marquis, Xia Tian didn't have much spare money in his hands. In the past, he had also gone to the free trade market several times to dig up some things.

  It's just that last summer his eyesight wasn't good and he didn't find many good items, but this time he was full of confidence.

  As soon as they entered the free market, Xia Tian's first feeling was that it was bustling with people, and there were even some noisy ones.

  Some people at the bottom of society spontaneously form a trading market. Naturally, there won't be many rules and regulations. The phenomenon of "black eating black" often occurs here.

  In summer, some underground forces and behind-the-scenes manipulators also participated in the free market, so it's very complicated here.

  "A thousand-year-old ginseng is sold cheaply."

  "The ten-thousand-year-old red fruit, with a flourish of tears, was sold at a huge discount."

  "Frosty snow lotus, a rare and precious spiritual elixir, don't miss this hard-to-come-by opportunity."

  "A divine sword that can cut through gold and jade, picked at random."

  ……

  In the free market, many stall owners shouted loudly to recommend their goods to passing pedestrians, speaking eloquently and persuasively.

  Walking past each stall, Xia Tian's gaze was just a glance, and he knew whether those things were genuine or fake, and what their quality was.

  The accumulation of thousands of years, the accumulation of thousands of years, is not given in vain. The process of stepping on the peak in summer has seen too many treasures. In the Great Xia Dynasty, it is absolutely one with the highest eyesight.

  In a free market, there are many fake things and ordinary products, but truly good things are hard to come by and not easy to encounter.

  It's just that summer has arrived, and I've only come with a slim chance of picking up leaks. I didn't have too much hope to get the real treasure, but it just so happens that there is an opportunity in a few days.

  "Huh."

  Her gaze wandered aimlessly over the stalls, when suddenly Xia Tian's footsteps came to a halt as she stared at one of them, uttering a sound of astonishment.

  This is a stall set up by a robust man in his thirties, the stall is very simple, with an ordinary animal skin spread on the ground, and some items are casually placed on it, all of which have a few broken parts.

  A long sword broken into two pieces, a dagger full of gaps, a big knife without a handle, and a jade block missing a corner, etc. There are many tattered things.

  Before walking to the stall, he squatted down and picked up a broken sword, a dagger or a piece of jade, measured it for a moment, and then threw it back onto the stall.

  "Young master, you seem to have taken a liking to something, I can give it to you at a discount."

  After several searches in the summer, he still didn't mean to take action. The strong man finally couldn't bear it and fell silent no more, calling out loudly.

  "These things of yours don't seem very good."

  Holding a damaged dagger, casually tapping on a piece of broken jade, Xia Tian said carelessly.

  "Who said that? All of these are treasures, which I found in a relic on the high mountain. They were all treasures from ancient times."

  A middle-aged man with an exaggerated expression, strongly persuaded him.

  "Haha, Second Son, you also have treasures there, it's really laughable. A pile of broken copper and rusty iron, how dare you call them treasures? If those are treasures, then the ones I have here are even more precious."

  Another stall owner nearby burst out laughing and said.

  Finally came a customer, who looked like a big fool. The second son wanted to cheat Xia Tian out of some money, but another vendor's interference made him furious.

  "Bamboo pole, you little rascal, are you looking for death? The things here aren't treasures anymore? This is clearly a precious relic from the ancient ruins. I think what you're selling are just some broken copper and rusty iron."

  Pointing at each other, the two sons burst into a loud quarrel.

  That bamboo pole, really lives up to his name, looks extremely weak and thin, the whole person is like a bamboo pole, can't withstand the wind.

  "Hmm, Second Son, you've become quite bold, haven't you? Don't you want to stay here anymore?"

  Bamboo pole's eyebrows stood up, and he threatened in a gloomy tone.

  Suddenly remembering something, Erzi's face changed greatly, quickly changing from a furious expression to a flustered one, turning his head away, not saying a word.

  "It seems you still know what's good for you. Since you're afraid, I'll let you off this time. However, if there's a next time, don't blame me for not being polite."

  He glanced at his two sons with a self-satisfied expression on his face.

  "This young master, there's nothing good at the second son's place. Why don't you come to my place and take a look? I have all the good stuff here. I'll secretly tell you, I even have the Ascension Pill here, which is a rare treasure that can make you an immortal with just one pill."

  Bamboo pole son looks down on everyone, not only does he not put Erzi in his eyes, but also openly calls out to Xia Tian in front of him, brazenly poaching customers.

  A glance at the bamboo vendor's stall, and most of the goods on display looked quite attractive, much better than those sold by Erzi, but it was all superficial, with a rotten interior hidden beneath a shiny exterior.

  "I'll take all these broken copper and iron scraps, just give me a few pieces of gold."

  She stretched out a finger and said in an unquestionable tone, "Summer."
