However, though the inner street wasn't open to the public yet, the outer and middle streets already had many vendors opening their stalls. Though there weren't many customers right now, to these vendors, the market wasn't just a place to sell their wares. To some extent, it was also a place to purchase goods.
The so-called purchase meant that many people would sell some of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures they had obtained through various channels to the merchants in the outer and middle streets at a price slightly lower than the market price. These merchants could then resell the treasures to others in the following market transactions and earn the difference in price.
The reason why these people didn't directly set up their stalls in the market and sell their wares to customers at a higher price was because they had their own concerns.
First of all, they weren't traditional vendors. They weren't popular in the market and they didn't have much credibility. Even if they set up their stalls, they may not be able to sell their wares in a short amount of time.
Secondly, the methods and methods they used to obtain treasures of heaven and earth were usually not so legitimate. If they were to be displayed in broad daylight, it was very likely to cause trouble for them. At that time, once they were targeted in the marketplace, it would be difficult for them to escape.
Therefore, to these people, instead of setting up their own stalls, it was more convenient to sell their wares to the vendors here. Though the price would be lower, they would be able to get spiritual jades at the same time. This would save them a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, a unique phenomenon formed in the market. Most of the vendors would set up their stalls very early in the morning. But before the sun rose, they wouldn't sell their wares and would only purchase their wares.
The reason why they set their stalls at midnight, a time when there were very few people, was for the sake of secrecy. The people who sold their wares needed to be as inconspicuous as possible, and the vendors didn't want to be surrounded by people when they were purchasing their wares. Because if they did, their bottom price would be leaked. It would be very difficult to do business.
Looking at the busy scene, Lin Yi suddenly had an idea. If he wanted to buy something, he could choose this time to buy it before these people sold their wares to the vendors. If he intercepted their wares in advance, the price would be much cheaper than buying them in the market.
However, on second thought, this idea wasn't very reliable. After all, these people had their own network of connections. Even if you had a lot of spiritual jades in your hands, they wouldn't necessarily be willing to sell their treasures to you. They might not even be willing to sell their treasures to you directly. Who knows if you are reliable?
To dispose of stolen goods, one had to be reliable. People would definitely choose a familiar face and not a stranger.
However, although this occasion wasn't suitable for buying things, it was suitable for selling things. And Lin Yi suddenly remembered that in his jade pendant space, there was really a pile of good things that could be exchanged for spiritual jades!
This item was the carcass of the Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard that he had hunted in the outskirts of the back mountain. Although it wasn't a rare Heavenly Treasure, as a rare early-stage Foundation Establishment spirit beast, its carcass was no less valuable than a Heavenly Treasure. He should be able to sell it for a good price.
However, the most valuable part of the corpse, the Inner Core, had already been dug out by Lin Yi in advance. It was not because he wanted to use it, but because the ghost had asked for it.
As a senior who lived in the space of his jade pendant, Lin Yi naturally agreed to such a small request from the ghost and took it out without hesitation. However, the ghost did not say what it wanted the Inner Core for. It only asked Lin Yi to take it out and temporarily store it for it. That was all.
Seeing that it was still early, Lin Yi turned around and went to a secluded place with no one around. He took out the carcass of the Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard from the space of the jade pendant and dragged it out from the corner.
Although the carcass of the Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard was heavy, weighing more than a ton, it was not difficult for a peak early-stage Foundation Establishment expert like Lin Yi to carry it. However, the commotion he made along the way was not small and quickly attracted the attention of the people in the market place.
"This is the Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard?" Those with good eyesight quickly recognized it and gasped.
Admittedly, to the cultivators in the market place, the Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage and was not very strong. However, this was a famous and extremely cunning ferocious beast of the forest!
This kind of spiritual beast was famous for its cunning and ferocity. If one wanted to hunt it in the deep forest of the back mountain, even an expert at the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm wouldn't be able to do it, let alone an expert at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.
In theory, to hunt such a cunning ferocious beast would require at least two mid-stage Foundation Establishment experts. In addition, they would have to spend a great deal of patience and energy in the deep forests of the mountains. Only then would they have a chance of successfully killing it.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that among all early Foundation Establishment spiritual beasts, the Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard was not only one of the strongest, it was also the most troublesome ferocious beast to deal with. Many times, even mid-stage Foundation Establishment experts would not be willing to provoke it.
"Spirit Traders in the market place"
There were quite a few merchants in the market. Every day, one could see the corpses of all kinds of spiritual beasts being dragged here to be sold. However, the Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard was extremely rare.
In the eyes of the merchants in the market place, the Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard's strength could not be considered high, but in terms of rarity, it could definitely be ranked in the top five!
Moreover, the Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard's entire body was a treasure. Whether it was the bones or the internal organs, every part of it was a real treasure. This was a rare and highly sought-after commodity!
For a moment, Lin Yi unexpectedly became the focus of all the Spirit Traders.
Some of them even impatiently crowded around him, afraid that others in the same trade would beat them to it.
After all, the Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard was a rare resource that could be used to establish a brand. It was something that could only be encountered by chance. If they missed this opportunity, they would never be able to find another shop like this one.
"Brother, how are you going to sell this Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard? Are you going to sell it as a whole or retail sale? " Seeing that other merchants were hurrying over, a bearded middle-aged man closest to Lin Yi hurriedly asked.
"Oh? What about selling it as a whole? What about retail? "Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and asked without batting an eyelid.
"If you sell it as a whole, then you sell it as a whole at a fixed price. If you sell it as a retail, then you have to separate the body parts and sell them one by one according to their value." The bearded middle-aged man paused for a moment, then asked: "Brother, you look unfamiliar. You don't come to this market place often, do you?"
