Chapter 41: Trading Market

  As for Wu Yuncai's provocation, Fang Tiannan didn't take it to heart.

  Firstly, Wu Yuncai and others' attention was almost focused on Diao Jianming and Xiao Ruo; secondly, Fang Tiannan was just a newly promoted outer sect disciple of the sect, and he wouldn't think that Wu Yuncai, who had an identity in the second floor of Juxian Pavilion, would care about him.

  After bidding farewell to Xiao Ruo and Di Jianming, Fang Tian Nan followed the hint and went to the registration place for outer disciples near the east side of the gathering place at the foot of Qing Yun Zong Mountain.

  Unlike the Qingyun Pavilion in the town square of Qingyuan, the disciples who come here are all carrying external door disciple identity plates. Moreover, some of the things handled in this place are mostly unrelated to cultivation, such as daily necessities for the outer door disciples of the sect, or arrangements for residences and so on.

  Fang Tian Nan was promoted to Outer Disciple just a month ago, but he had been delayed in the Transmission Cave and only arrived today to complete the registration formalities. The staff at the registration office couldn't help but take an extra look at Fang Tian Nan. However, they didn't say anything idle, just a reminder in a matter-of-fact tone: "Work hard while you're young, make the most of your time."

  While speaking, the other party handed Fang Tiannan a key and a map.

  A dwelling near the foot of a mountain on the map had been marked with a red circle. Fang Tian Nan understood that this would be his residence within the sect from now on.

  "By the way, new outer sect disciple, if you have any questions, you can come here to ask directly, as long as you bring your identity token. However, it's only limited to the first month." The staff at the registration office said with a hint of playfulness while looking at Fang Tian Nan, "Considering your registration time has already exceeded one month, everything will depend on yourself from now on."

  "Huh?......" Fang Tian Nan was suddenly speechless.

  Within the sect, there are still some protective measures for those who enter the Transmission Cave Heaven. For example, the names of the six members of the Qingyun Sect have not been made public. Firstly, it is to prevent disciples from the same school from having grudges and challenging each other; secondly, it also avoids being targeted by other sects.

  However, as time passed, Fang Tian Nan pondered that the identities and strengths of himself and the other five would gradually be exposed. It was also unknown whether there would be any trouble when that happened.

  "I'm reminding you kindly, starting tomorrow, first head to the Trial Plaza and find a suitable mentor. Also, you can go to the free trading market on the west side and exchange for some useful items, they will come in handy tomorrow."

  "What should I exchange for?" Fang Tian Nan asked.

  "Sorry, I'm just reminding you, no obligation to answer." The staff at the registration place seemed to be delighted to see Fang Tian Nan's anxiety and said with a faint smile, "However, finding a suitable mentor is not an easy task. If you have familiar companions, you can ask them about those mentors' preferences."

  As he spoke, the staff member at the registration office lowered his head and busied himself with other matters. Fang Tian Nan could only sullenly find his own lodgings and settle in for now.

  。。。。。。

  Near the mountain gate, there is a relatively concentrated residential area for outer disciples. From the map, this area is basically adjacent to each other with two-story small buildings. Fang Tian Nan's assigned place was no exception.

  Inside the building, the furnishings are relatively simple. There are tables, chairs, beds and so on, but nothing else besides these. If there is a need for anything else, Fang Tian Nan can only buy it himself. As for this, Fang Tian Nan is still somewhat satisfied. After all, he has been in Qing Yun Sect for three years now, and Fang Tian Nan finally gets to live in a two-story small building with its own gate.

  The treatment of outer sect disciples is indeed not comparable to those ordinary disciples.

  He carefully observed his surroundings, and Fang Tian Nan pondered whether it was safe to store valuable things inside the house. Although, as an outer disciple of Qing Yun Sect, it was rare for others to enter your residence without permission. However, to be on the safe side, Fang Tian Nan didn't take out any of the things he had hidden in the boundary marker.

  No matter what, the space inside the boundary marker is still very large, and it's idle anyway. Putting things inside the boundary marker, when Fang Tian Nan wants to use them, will also be much more convenient and quick. The only thing that needs attention is that while using it, the secret of the boundary marker cannot be exposed.

  Afterwards, Fang Tian Nan bought some daily necessities such as bedding and toiletries in the gathering place at the foot of the mountain, and slightly decorated his residence until there was nothing lacking. Only then did Fang Tian Nan head alone to the free trade area on the west side.

  For this free trading market formed by the outer disciples, Fang Tian Nan had already heard of it in Qing Yun Town. Unlike spending contribution points to exchange items from the sect, on the trading market, as long as both parties agreed on a price, they could directly exchange goods.

  It can be through the sect's contribution points, or it can be bartering.

  In terms of overall price, the things on the free trading market are generally cheaper than those exchanged within the sect. So, the flow of people in the free trading market is still relatively large. It's worth noting that ordinary disciples of the sect basically have no way to enter the trading market unless you spend a certain amount of sect contribution points as an entrance fee. And once the transaction is successful within the trading market, whether it's a loss or a gain, there's no going back.

  Based on what Fang Tian Nan had previously understood, the items sold in the trading market were a mixed bag. Some of them were even just refurbished to deceive newcomers. Of course, there were also sellers who didn't know the value of their goods and were taken advantage of by others, selling at low prices directly.

  It can be said that this free trade market is staging a tragedy every day.

  。。。。。。

  The stalls in the trading market are just set up on the side of the aisle, with a stall owner's identity being all sorts of strange and wonderful. There are disciples from various sects, as well as outside personnel, and even members of several nearby sects near Qingyun Sect.

  Generally speaking, apart from Qingyun Sect, there is also a similar trading market within the jurisdiction of Bihai Sect.

  At the entrance of the trading market, there were people from Qingyun Sect guarding. Fang Tian Nan showed his outer sect disciple's identity plate and was allowed to enter directly.

  At this time, because it was not a specific market day for the trading market, there were not many people moving around in the market. They were scattered about in twos and threes. Along the passageway, there were also quite a few stalls that had closed down. Fang Tian Nan casually strolled along several passageways and discovered that most of them mainly sold dan medicines and materials, and there were also many stalls selling military weapons.

  There was another outsider who, after seeing the long sword carried by Fang Tian Nan, actually asked if Fang Tian Nan had any intention of selling it, which made Fang Tian Nan unable to help but smile bitterly.

  "By the way, if you ever come to your senses and want to sell this long sword, be sure to contact me." The inquiring young man smiled at Fang Tian Nan and said, "My name is Wang Ji Dong. I often appear around here. You can find me by asking anyone in this market."

  Before leaving, Wang Jidong said with some enthusiasm: "By the way, if you need something urgently and want to exchange it, you can also find me. However, you'll have to use your long sword as payment."

  Fang Tian Nan could only nod his head.

  It seems that Wang Jidong should be a common middleman in this free trading market. He has his own fixed sources of goods and many buyer contacts, and can even provide timely services to those outsiders who are eager to find specific materials. The rewards he gets from it should not be low.

  About twenty or thirty meters further ahead, Fang Tian Nan suddenly discovered that a stall had attracted quite a crowd. Immediately, he went over to join in the commotion.

  To know, so far, Fang Tian Nan is still pondering, the staff at the registration place said, to exchange some useful items, when looking for a mentor tomorrow, what does it mean?

  Is it said that finding a mentor is not something that every outsider can have, but also needs to be knocked on the door first?
