Chapter 20:Sect Market (1/2)
Alex opened his eyes back in his cottage. He looked up at the ceiling, but as expected, the lantern was still out.
”I should find other sources of fire. Maybe I should just go buy some matches or whatever equivalent this game has for making fires.”
He stood up and walked outside. He saw the same scene as yesterday. Dozens of disciples going on about their daily lives.
He didn't need to open his map this time, he knew how to get to the sect valley. After a few minutes of walking, he reached the sect valley.
He still wasn't used to seeing hundreds of disciples running about in what was basically a small-sized city. He had two things to do here today.
The first thing he needed to do was sell all those monsters he killed in the forest the other day. According to the female senior, he met yesterday, he had to sell the items in the sect market.
He opened the map to check where it was. He quickly located it next to the Disciple Hall on the map, so he walked towards there.
In just a few minutes, he was in front of the sect market. Looking at what was in front of him truly surprised him, as it was nowhere close to what he had been expecting.
He had been expecting a massive building just like all the other buildings he had been to. Except, the sect market was nothing like it.
In front of him was a long road that was at least 200 m long. And all over the side of the roads were disciples laying objects in front of them, trying to sell them.
There were 3 or 4 properly set stalls that Alex could tell were set up by the sect itself as the owner of those stalls had silver linings in their green robes. They were run by sect elders.
He walked up to one of the stalls. There were a few disciples in front of him waiting for their turn to buy or sell their stuff. Eventually, his turn arrived.
”Are you here to buy or sell?” the elder in the stall asked. The elder seemed quite old, at least in his late 40s. There were signs of wrinkles on his face, and his beard and hair had a lot of white streaks on them.
”I am here to sell, Elder,” Alex replied respectfully.
”All right, give me what you have.” The elder said as he prepared the table in front of him for the items.
”Umm, Elder, I am here to sell monster corpses, so this table won't be enough,” Alex said seeing the little space on top of the table.
”Oh.” The elder said as his eyes perked up a bit. He brought out a small storage bag and handed it to Alex. ” Alright then, put them here.”
