What if the Grand Elder suddenly remembered such a small person and was in a good mood?

Zhou Yun had always been a cautious and prudent person, and he had become even more at home in the market, getting a good grasp of the situation within a year.

This market was actually one of the markets controlled by the Three Sects and Six Orders within the territory adjacent to the secular world. The Three Sects and Six Orders had managers stationed here to operate and exchange resources with the loose cultivators in the market.

They mostly sell finished products, while the loose cultivators trade with shops using spirit stones and materials. It can be simply described as a relationship between landlords and tenant farmers.

But don’t think that the market is peaceful. Behind the scenes, untold numbers of battles take place. After all, cultivation depends on good fortune, which is fought for.

Loose cultivators are living every step of the way under pressure, practicing every moment, and constantly going in and out of the market to find cultivation resources in the forests.

From time to time, news comes of the deaths of loose cultivators, whether by accident, or by murder…

But no one in the market cares, as cultivation is ultimately a fight for a chance at life. If they die, it means they lack the necessary fortune.

Zhou Yun did not attract much attention in the market, since his aptitude had been determined, his remaining lifespan was limited, and he had no hope of cultivating.

Chen Fengchen didn’t understand why Zhou Yun entered at such an old age, but the manager of the Hua Tian Sect had a slightly better understanding.

They were not like Chen Fengchen, a disciple of the inner sect. They had risen from the dust with each successive battle, only to gain their current status.

Zhou Yun was obviously a spy from the secular world, coming to the realm of cultivation to set up a base and explore the situation in the market.

Moreover, due to the relationship with the Refining Device Peak Elder, the manager of the Hua Tian Sect did not make things difficult for Zhou Yun this year, and Zhou Yun even secretly used this relationship to sell Vajra Talismans, testing the market’s trading rules.

The manager turned a blind eye to this, and even sighed that the other party indeed had good fortune. The Vajra Talisman was probably given to him by Chen Fengchen. It was a pity that Zhou Yun had little lifespan left and no hope for cultivation.

After another year had passed, by the time he had made the arrangement with Liang Sheng, Zhou Yun asked the manager for leave a month in advance, saying he wanted to return to the secular world for a while. The manager did not object.

None of the cultivators wanted to return to the secular world, which was dirty and unbearable. Moreover, loose cultivators did not have the ability to pass through the fog.

Additionally, he thought Zhou Yun had already familiarized himself with the market situation and was preparing to return to his family to report and send a younger person over.

With the Black Iron Command, Hua Tian Sect would not refuse them. But how could the manager of the Hua Tian Sect know that the previous two Black Iron Commands had already been exchanged for Qi Refining Pills?

No matter what, Zhou Yun was now in the secular world and was not being followed. Liang Sheng thought of this and finally opened his bag.

Inside were three vials of Qi Refining Pills, a jade slip, a pill formula, a small pill refining furnace, and some unknown herbs, sealed and stored.

It seemed that Zhou Yun had done even better than Liang Sheng had imagined. This jade slip was the Qi cultivation technique of Hua Tian Sect. Liang Sheng took the jade slip and placed it on his forehead, then opened his eyes.

This was just the simplest Qi cultivation technique, far inferior to the Upper Pure Immortal Scripture, and was extremely useless. Moreover, the techniques were incomplete.

However, the pill formula made Liang Sheng somewhat excited. He didn’t expect Zhou Yun to actually get the pill formula for the Qi Refining Pill. Although the formula was common in the market, Zhou Yun had done his best.

It was just that the pill formula was easy to find, but pill-refining was not easy. As Liang Sheng finished reading the pill formula with a sigh of relief, pill-refining was much more complicated than he thought, but Liang Sheng’s eyes were hot, looking at these Spiritual Grasses which were materials for the Qi Refining Pill.

Of course, according to the pill formula, with Liang Sheng’s current cultivation level, even if he successfully refined the Qi Refining Pill, it would likely only be a low-grade Qi Refining Pill.

He simply lacked the proper cultivation level for it.

But Liang Sheng was already satisfied. Fortunately, Zhou Yun had the backing of Hua Tian Sect; otherwise, he would not be so lucky.

Ten days later, Zhou Yun said goodbye to Zhou Hua and Liang Sheng. He was going back to the market, with a ten-year agreement this time.

If he returned to the secular world early, it would mean that Zhou Yun might have limited time left. The Zhou brothers had tearful eyes, and perhaps this was their last meeting, as they didn’t know how many years they had left to live.

However, for the sake of his family and ancestor, Zhou Yun had no choice but to turn back and enter the Cultivation Market again.

Although he was still alone this time, he was able to arrive at Hua Tian Sect’s outpost with the help of the Black Iron Command. The manager was somewhat surprised but didn’t ask any further questions.

This was Zhou Family’s affair in the secular world. Perhaps the other party had their own considerations. Regardless, as long as they don’t make mistakes, they should be fine. Although he was sent to the market, he still wanted to achieve success in his cultivation, so why bother with such trivial matters?

In the blink of an eye, it was the spring of Emperor Wu’s eleventh year.

After a year had passed, only fifteen cities remained in the Western Spring Country’s ninety cities, with the capital’s territory. Perhaps in a short time, the Western Spring Country would be completely incorporated into the Great Zhou territory.
