Just then, a clear bird song in the sky woke the four of them. They moved a little further away from the big ox and looked up at the sky, only to see a large blue bird with three tails flying away into the distance, leaving a trail of seven-colored light behind it.
Ah Jiang was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, her eyes couldn't take it all in.
“The buildings in the market are all regulated, so you can judge their function by their appearance.”
Zhang He pointed to a three-story building and introduced it:
"These are all ordinary shops that sell armor, weapons, and medicinal herbs. They also buy these things. They usually specialize in different categories. For example, the shop in front specializes in armor, and the one across the street specializes in selling pills."
"There are also some larger shops that sell everything, and the quality is excellent. Most of these belong to the 49 Business Alliance. They are five-story buildings. Look at that Treasure Pavilion over there, that's it."
"What is the 49 Business Alliance?" A-Jiang asked.
"It's short for the Four Seas and Nine Provinces Chamber of Commerce Alliance. These chambers of commerce also have backgrounds from major families and sects, but overall they are under the management of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance," Zhang He explained.
"Just like there are various trading companies in the secular world, such shops are also very important in the cultivation world."
"Let's go check out the Mystery Pavilion first."
Zhang He led the three of them to a five-story pavilion.
Directly opposite the entrance is a huge scroll, with lines of text flashing across the screen, occasionally accompanied by images, and sometimes news of various immortal sects recruiting disciples.

"This place is called Xuanji Pavilion. It's mainly a place for exchanging various information and issuing tasks."
Zhang He explained, then she exchanged a few words with the woman in blue opposite her, paid her a few spirit stones, and the woman picked up a white jade tablet and placed it in A Jiang's hand.
"This jade plaque functions similarly to this huge scroll painting; it allows you to view recent news and access other information. You can give it a try."
A-Jiang randomly clicked on a message: it contained the criminal's background and image, the crimes committed, and the Immortal Alliance's handling method. —Abolish all spiritual power and mine for 20 years.
Upon seeing this message, Zhang He explained, "Aside from demonic cultivators, righteous cultivators do not kill easily. The Immortal Alliance handles evil cultivators fairly, so when conflicts arise between cultivators, they are usually reported to the Immortal Alliance for handling. Of course, this cannot prevent cultivators from killing each other, but it is much better than having no restraint at all."
"What if they run away or go into hiding?" A-Jiang asked.
