Chapter 748: The Newbie In Heaven's Beyond Corridor City Square

”Immortal Friend Lou Si, do you know how I can obtain a stall in this city square?” After Mo Wuji understood that Heaven's Beyond Corridor was a cultivation holyland, he felt an even urgent need to establish a foothold here.
After that battle with Yuan Jie, he was increasingly clear that he was too weak.
Lou Si looked at Mo Wuji awkwardly, and after some brief hesitation, she said, ”It's not impossible, but it's very hard. The first way is to bribe the trade management for the Heaven's Beyond Corridor and get them to help. They are the clearest as to which stalls are about to reach the end of their lease, or which stalls are going to be recalled.”
Mo Wuji asked in astonishment, ”So the stall owners only have the rights to run the stall? All the other rights still belong to the management?”
Lou Si shook her head, ”No. If a person purchases a stall, it would directly become that person's private property. However, if the owner doesn't return to the Heaven's Beyond Corridor in three years, his stall will be taken back by the trade management to be sold or rented to others. Actually, people who are intending to leave the Heaven's Beyond Corridor would usually notify the trade management to place their stall out for sale.
However, I want to remind you that all the people in the management are without conscience. They only care about the benefits. Even though two people might simultaneously present them with great items, they will compare the items and help the one that gave them the item of a higher value. As for the item with the lower value, they definitely wouldn't return it. And if you want to try to get them to help you again, you would have to offer another item; that previous item you gave them would already have been completely forgotten.”
Truly corrupt people, Mo Wuji lamented in his heart. He could only continue asking, ”Then what is the second method?”
”The second method is if you were to know that a stall is going to be put on sale, you can take the initiative to contact the stall owner and purchase the stall directly from him. This method is relatively hard because there basically isn't any spare stalls here. There's also one more possible method. Every time the Cosmos Wall opens, there would always be some stalls that become vacant. When that happens, you have to react quickly and snatch one,” Lou Si explained.
Mo Wuji's interest was peaked and he asked hurriedly, ”Why would some stalls become vacant when the Cosmos Wall opens?”
Lou Si sighed, ”Because all the cultivation resources here come from the Cosmos Wall. The moment it appears, even stall owners would go there and fight for treasures. Many of them would die in the Cosmos Wall, or die on the desert wasteland battlefield. After they die, their stalls would immediately be vacant. As long as you are able to rush back to the city square before the trade management occupies the stall, then you would have the opportunity of obtaining that stall.”
”If you do that, then the management would just allow you to take the stall?”
”You only need to say that the person who died was your friend or your sect mate. Even though everyone knows that you are lying, because you are the first one that occupied the stall, no one would chase you away.”
”...” Mo Wuji was left thoroughly speechless. He was actually in this kind of world.
”Many thanks for saving me. Unfortunately, I'm unable to help you. I will be returning back to the Heaven's Beyond Corridor now. But I still want to give you a reminder, even if you occupy a stall, without a certain level of power, you won't be able to occupy it for long.” Even though Lou Si wanted to help Mo Wuji, her abilities were limited and she really couldn't do a thing.
Mo Wuji clasped his fists, ”Immortal Friend Lou Si, you've already helped me plenty. My name is Mo Wuji.”
After a short pause, Mo Wuji continued, ”Immortal Friend Lou Si, I see that you do not seem to be from the demon race, and your cultivation technique also doesn't seem to be related to the demon race. If that's the case, why do you stay with them?”
Lou Si sighed and said, ”When I first came here, a human race cultivator tried to rob me; so I killed him. You should know, if you killed a human race cultivator, you can only go to the demon race. Thus, I settled in the demon race district, and during every war when the Cosmos Wall opens, I would be battling and killing human race cultivators. There's no path left for me to retreat now. Actually, I always wanted to leave the Heaven's Beyond Corridor. Unfortunately, leaving this place isn't a simple thing. Immortal Friend Mo, I thank you again for your saving grace. Farewell.”
”Wait, I managed to obtain some storage rings just now. I will give you one.” Mo Wuji saw that Lou Si did not seem to have any storage rings while he managed to pocket two just now.
”There's no need, I was able to hide one. You're already helped me immensely. Also, if you can have a conflict with any stall owner here, but you can never have a conflict with a shop owner.” With that, Lou Si left the city square and disappeared.
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart; he could see that Lou Si was truly unable to help him. There was no need to talk about him, Lou Si herself was constantly dancing on the border between life and death. Mo Wuji had a favourable impression of Lou Si. Even though he didn't know whether she was telling the truth about the storage ring, there was one thing be did know. Lou Si had left very guiltily because she wasn't able to help him much.
Actually, Mo Wuji still had a question he wanted to ask Lou Si, that is why didn't anyone stay on the desert wasteland battlefield. Unfortunately, Lou Si seemed to have left in a hurry and he didn't get to ask that question.
Mo Wuji decided that he was going to find himself a shop; he had quite a sizeable fortune of immortal crystals. Even though Lou Si said that it was very difficult to find a shop or a stall, he still decided that he was going to ask around each and every one. What if you actually struck one?
The first shop that Mo Wuji walked on was one that sold various kinds of materials. The shop was relatively big and there were also many people inside. Even though Mo Wuji guessed that this shop wouldn't be for sale, he still decided to ask the shop owner.
