Sima Youyue was rather curious about this as well, so she stared at Sima You Ran, waiting for him to explain it to everyone.
Sima You Ran smiled, saying, "Because this is the headquarters of the various powers. Most people don't dare to do things like killing and robbing here. As for those who came in to trade, they would be protected by this place. Even if those people wanted to do anything to him, they wouldn't be able to. "
"In other words, the grudges of the outside world cannot be brought in here. Even if this person stole from others and was hunted down by others, as long as he entered this place, he is not allowed to kill? Once that robber sells the items here, those people won't rob him anymore. "Fatty Qu said.
"You can understand it that way." Sima You Ran nodded.
"Then wouldn't there be a lot of treasures here!" Fatty Qu's eyes lit up.
Some people had treasures in their possession, but they didn't dare to reveal it outside. Because if they were coveted by others, not only would they not be able to keep their treasures, they would also lose their lives!
However, things were different here. As long as he disguised himself, he could easily get rid of the treasures in his hands.
"There are many treasures, but there are also some people who see that everyone is in the mood and take out inferior or fake goods to pretend to be superior or genuine goods." Sima You Ran said.
"Nobody cares about this?" Wei Zi Qi asked.
"After entering, all transactions are voluntary. If you buy a fake or something, you can only blame yourself for not being observant enough and not being able to see the essence of the goods."
When they heard what Sima You Ran said, everyone was speechless. Wasn't this creating this kind of atmosphere?!
Their beast carriages ran for an hour before they reached the central area. When they arrived, the streets were densely packed with beast carriages. Fortunately, the roads here were spacious. A single street could allow 20 beast carriages to travel at the same time. Otherwise, this place would have been jammed.
Due to Sima Youyue's request, the coachman brought them to the nearest market. Then he waited outside while the others went in.
Standing at the entrance of the market, Sima Youyue and the rest were surprised to see so many people entering and exiting the market.
"This is the Free Trade Market? It's no different from those shops! "Sima You Le said.
The door looked like an ordinary loft, and the outside was similar to other shops.
Just as they were about to enter, they saw Sima Youyue and the rest standing at the door. She said, "Are you all new to the Sacred City?"
Sima Youyue and the rest turned their heads to look at the two middle-aged men. From their bloody aura, they could tell that they were people who often went through life and death situations.
"This is indeed the first time we've come to Saint City. We heard about this free market, so we wanted to take a look." Sima You Ran said with a smile.
"As expected, it's your first time here. The two of us want to go in as well. You can come with us to take a look." The fairer middle-aged man said.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Sima Youyue and the rest followed the two of them into the shop. As soon as they entered, they noticed the difference between this shop and the other shops.
Most shops would place their goods neatly on the shelves, but here, rows of people were sitting on the ground. They casually pulled a piece of cloth and placed it on the ground. Then, there were scattered items on it. Some of them had the items that they wanted to exchange for written on it.
"There are a total of four floors here. Each time, it can accommodate thousands of people setting up stalls here. The higher you go, the more valuable the items are." The fair-skinned middle-aged man explained, "Since it's your first time here, you can start walking slowly from the first floor. We want to go upstairs, so we won't be going with you. "
"Okay, thank you, Uncle."
The two middle-aged men obviously came to this place often. They knew that the items they needed or wanted to sell were of high quality, so they went upstairs directly.
"Let's walk around as well." Sima You Ming said.
The group of them walked around the first floor. Sima Youyue saw quite a few medicinal ingredients, but they weren't very valuable. There were also a few pills and spirit tools, but they were of average quality and didn't catch their eye.
They quickly finished walking around the first floor because they didn't see anything good. They just walked around.
Very quickly, they went to the second floor. Just like what the two middle-aged men said, the items here were more valuable than the ones below. However, they still didn't catch their eye.
They finished walking around the second floor very quickly and went to the third floor.
The items here were of higher quality. Occasionally, they would stop in their tracks. However, they didn't buy much. Only Fatty Qu chose a few materials for refining tools.
On the fourth floor, they met the two middle-aged men. When they saw that they had come up so quickly, they said with some surprise, "You finished walking around the lower three floors so quickly?"
"The items below are very average, so we walked around rather quickly." Sima You Ran said with a smile.
When the two of them heard this, they immediately understood. They were definitely not average people. The things they usually came in contact with were not ordinary. That was why they didn't care about the things below.
"This is just a small market. If you want to find good things, you can go to a bigger one." The fair skinned middle-aged man said.
"Are the other markets better than this one?" Sima You Le asked.
"Of course. The market is also divided into grades. First, second, and third. This is the third grade, the lowest grade. The things here definitely can't compare to those in other markets." The middle-aged man explained patiently.
"Then which markets are of a higher grade?" Sima You Ming asked.
"The closer to the centre, the higher the grade. There are three first grade markets. They are under the Alchemist Guild, Armament Master Guild and Beast Tamer Guild. If you're interested, you can go there to take a look. "
"Okay, thank you for your guidance, Uncle."
After that, Sima You Yue and the others walked around the fourth floor. They saw quite a few high grade herbs, but there were still many of them in the Spirit Pagoda, so they didn't make a move.
What Sima You Yue found interesting was that when they were about to leave, they saw a stalk of scarlet rhinoceros grass. This kind of medicinal ingredient was usually green, but after two hundred years, it would turn scarlet red. At this time, the medicinal properties would undergo an earth-shattering change.
A young man was squatting in front of the stall, haggling with the peddler about the price of this herb.
"Three thousand gold coins. Otherwise, no further discussion." The peddler's attitude was firm.
That young man seemed to really need this herb, but he didn't bring that much money when he came out. His face was red as he begged the peddler to lower the price.
"Boss, if you lower the price a bit, I'll buy it for you."
"Three thousand gold coins, no less." The peddler said, "Look, this is a red rhinoceros grass. Do you need me to tell you how much it's worth? If you don't want it, there will naturally be others who want it. "
"I didn't bring enough money, but I really need this rhinoceros grass. Help me keep it for a while. I'll go back and get the money. I'll be back soon. "
"That won't do. If I meet someone who wants it and gives a high price, I'll sell it." The peddler said.
"Then what should I do?" The young man was about to cry.
"How about this, if you can give me three thousand five hundred gold coins, I'll keep it for you."
The young man gritted his teeth, saying, "Okay!"
At this time, a white slender hand stretched out and picked up the rhinoceros grass.
