Listening to Gu Ping's words, Zhang Chenyu slowly closed his eyes. When he woke up again, it was already early the next day. He found himself leaning against a pillar, unsure of what had happened the night before—whether it was a dream or reality. All he felt was a slight soreness in his neck.
Gu Ping glanced once more at Wangyue Tower, smiled, and took off into the sky with Yoyo on his shoulder. His destination lay in the southeast of Lu State, in the Chen Kingdom.
The Chen Kingdom was a small nation, but it held a special status; every time the Major Sect held martial arts competitions, they took place at Eastern Peak in the Chen Kingdom. The reason for this dated back to long ago.
Since the Demonic Path had been completely eradicated, the rise of the Light Path Classic had become unstoppable. In the World of Mortals, securing one's interests meant having the Major Sect convene at Eastern Peak.
However, Major Sects were Major Sects; no one would submit to another, and they could not engage in an all-out battle. Thus, the rules for martial arts competitions among younger generations were established at Eastern Peak.
As for who determined that location, one had to mention Yin Tianheng. At that time, Yin Tianheng wielded the Rift Sky Sword in the academy with a casual swing, leveling the highest peak in sight.
That sword strike could be said to have truly illuminated the ten continents, flattening seventy high mountains. Initially, through everyone's calculations, Eastern Peak was chosen as the competition site.
The Chen Kingdom was already there, and due to Yin Tianheng's influence, no one dared to act recklessly. Over time, the Chen Kingdom became a secular land without any sects. Because Major Sects held competitions at Eastern Peak every ten years, some cultivators sensed an opportunity. With tens of thousands of Dong Lai flowing in, the Chen Kingdom unexpectedly became the largest Fairy Market in the World of Mortals. Aside from Sky's End Tower, it was likely that items from Chen Kingdom's Fairy Market were the most comprehensive and abundant.
Within it were rare treasures, celestial artifacts, cultivation techniques—everything imaginable was on display, overwhelming to count.
Having left Ying City, Gu Ping did not linger too long in the secular world and rode straight to Chen Kingdom. Following the map's guidance all the way to Chen Kingdom, he finally understood the significance of Minghong's Fairy Market.
Upon entering Fairy Market, someone proactively welcomed him. That Brother appeared quite friendly; he must have recently arrived in their Chen Kingdom.
What? Were there no bullies around here? Gu Ping smiled as he looked at the man.
The man, Bu Luo, was just a foundation-level cultivator, and Gu Ping was not worried at all about being taken advantage of by someone like him.
That was unlikely; who would dare to do such a thing right under the nose of the big shots? Ever since Yin Tianheng disappeared from the World of Mortals, the Chen Kingdom had become increasingly unstable. As a result, several powerful auction houses in the Fairy Market had sent their people to both introduce Yi Dong and explore any potential business opportunities. "I don't deny," the man smiled.
Gu Ping nodded and took out a bottle of Breath Recovery. Since that was the case, why not show him around?
"Alright," the man said, bending slightly in a gesture of invitation. "May I ask how to address you?"
"My Taoist name is Xuanming; you can call me Xuanmingzi."
"This is my junior brother, Cheng Chun. Xuanmingzi, you can just call him Xiao Cheng. Those people are all cultivators who auction medicines; they are just here to help with the auction, so you don’t need to pay too much attention to them."
"Which auction house are you from?"
Xiao Cheng is from Sky's End Tower, so he must have some skills.
As they walked and talked, they strolled through Yi Dong for a while. Gu Ping looked at Cheng Chun; although he spoke very well, his appearance did not match his eloquence. With thick eyebrows, big eyes, large ears, and full lips, anyone would think he was an honest person. Yet his words flowed continuously as he guided Gu Ping through the Fairy Market.
Initially, Cheng Chun brought Gu Ping to a seemingly small inn and said, "This is the most reasonably priced accommodation in the entire Fairy Market. If Xuanmingzi plans to stay in the Fairy Market for a month or so, it would be better to stay here."
Gu Ping shook his head. He intended to take him to Mok Ming Academy's residence as he had matters to attend to in Yi Dong.
"Xuanmingzi is a middleman for Mok Ming Academy?" Cheng Chun looked at Gu Ping in surprise. He wanted to know how those disciples from major sects were doing. The pride on that face was evident; it was rare for someone as ordinary as Gu Ping, an unremarkable disciple of the academy, to catch Cheng Chun's attention.
"No, let's not waste time. Lead the way," Gu Ping suddenly put away his smile and said with a serious face. Bu Luo looked at Cheng Chun's stern expression, and Gu Ping burst into laughter again, making Cheng Chun feel a bit awkward; he hadn't expected Gu Ping to joke with him.
"Senior Brother and the other disciples of the Major Sect are really different," Cheng Chun scratched his head and said somewhat shyly, completely losing the composure he usually had in Red Sky.
"Not really, it's quite different," Bu Luo replied. "Mei Ba, it's all the same to me."
Hearing Gu Ping's words, Cheng Chun could only smile wryly. Although he knew that what Gu Ping said was true, he couldn't help but feel a bit sarcastic. After all, they were disciples of the Major Sect; no matter how different they were, how could he not be treated equally? With that thought, Cheng Chun's face gradually lost its smile.
