Lin Yang and Chen Feng traveled day and night, finally arriving at the legendary Spirit Ruins Market. Even before stepping inside, they could feel the bustling atmosphere. People came and went, cultivators dressed in various attire, some hurrying, others strolling leisurely. Stalls lined the market, displaying a dazzling array of rare and precious treasures.
Lin Yang and Chen Feng entered the market and were immediately stunned by the scene before them. Stalls displayed various spiritual herbs, magical treasures, cultivation manuals, and even some strange spirit beast cubs. The air was filled with a rich spiritual energy, and different fluctuations of spiritual energy intertwined, creating a unique atmosphere.
Lin Yang was thrilled; he felt this was the perfect stage for him to showcase his business acumen. He and Chen Feng strolled slowly along the street, observing the goods at each stall while keeping an eye on the transactions among the surrounding cultivators. Lin Yang stopped at one stall. On it were some ores emitting a strange light. These ores seemed to be compatible with some materials he had found in his "landing money space," perhaps allowing him to forge powerful magical artifacts.
Lin Yang began talking to the stall owner, inquiring about the origin and price of the ore. The stall owner, a shrewd cultivator, sensed Lin Yang's interest and began boasting about its preciousness, quoting an extremely high price. Lin Yang secretly estimated the ore's value and, using his business negotiation skills accumulated in modern society, began bargaining with the stall owner.
After a fierce negotiation, Lin Yang bought the ore at a relatively reasonable price. Chen Feng, watching Lin Yang's skillful transaction, couldn't help but admire him, saying, "Brother Lin, your bargaining skills are truly admirable." Lin Yang smiled and said, "These are just some small tricks. In this Spirit Ruins market, only by knowing how to trade reasonably can one obtain the greatest profit."
Just as Lin Yang was about to store the ore into his spatial storage, he suddenly heard an argument coming from not far away. Curious, he and Chen Feng went over and saw a young cultivator arguing with a stall owner. The young cultivator held a cultivation manual in his hand and angrily said, "This is clearly fraud! This cultivation manual is completely incomplete, yet you sold it to me as if it were whole!"
The stall owner, however, said with a roguish grin, "I never said this was the complete cultivation technique. You bought it without looking carefully, so who can you blame?" Lin Yang's sense of justice surged up, and he stepped forward, saying, "Sir, doing business is about honesty. It's probably not appropriate for you to pass off inferior goods as superior ones."
The stall owner glanced at Lin Yang and said disdainfully, "Where did this nosy brat come from? It's none of your business to interfere." Lin Yang was annoyed, but he knew he couldn't act impulsively. A thought struck him, and he said to the young cultivator, "Fellow Daoist, how about this? I'll exchange some other items for this manual, and you can go and choose a complete cultivation technique." The young cultivator hesitated for a moment, then, looking at Lin Yang's sincere eyes, finally nodded.
Lin Yang retrieved some precious spiritual herbs from his spatial storage and exchanged them for cultivation manuals with the young cultivator. The young cultivator, holding the herbs, gave Lin Yang a grateful look before moving on to choose other cultivation techniques. Lin Yang, however, looked at the incomplete manual in his hand, a different thought forming in his mind. He felt that this incomplete manual might hide some secret, and perhaps through his research and exploration, he could complete it and obtain a unique cultivation technique. However, his actions attracted the attention of some people around him, including some with ill intentions, and a potential crisis was quietly descending upon Lin Yang.
