Chapter 193 - 119: Sect Turmoil, Invited for Adventure (8K Combined Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
Dan Ding Market.
Having chosen his current identity, Liang Sheng had given it careful consideration. He still followed the most basic principle of taking things step by step, instead of rushing in. After all, time didn’t mean much to him, while other cultivators were racing against their own lifespans, for Liang Sheng, his safety came first.
If he were to appear as an Alchemist now and intend to make a name in Dan Ding Market, he would probably have to expose his pill refining skills.
His situation here was different from when he was in Hua Tian Sect’s Market.
Being an Alchemist wouldn’t be the optimal identity.
On the other hand, by focusing on refining weapons and array formations, without involving pill refining, he would be less likely to attract the attention of the Dan Ding Sect.
After ail, array masters and artifact refiners were two professions that Alchemists loved the most, since spiritual fields require arrays for maintenance, and pills can be stabilized through arrays. Furthermore, who wouldn’t like a good pill refining furnace?
Liang Sheng planned to spend decades, or even a hundred years, investigating the situation in Dan Ding Sect’s Market, leaving no secret undiscovered.
As long as the Dan Ding Sect’s founding purpose remained unchanged and the Three Sects and Six Orders avoided destruction, Dan Ding Sect could be considered the safest place for now.
Just look at Hua Tian Sect and Upper Green Sect, they had already raised a big commotion, yet the Dan Ding Market remained peaceful and unaffected.
Of course, if the situation quickly changed, it would be hard to predict, after all, who could foresee the reactions of the two major sects at that time?
Liang Sheng entered the Administration Office, which was a three-story building. He could sense a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator sitting cross-legged on the third floor.
Subsequently, he successfully registered and rented a Cave Mansion. Yang Sheng, a loose cultivator who was at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Level and proficient in both Array and Artifact Refining, appeared amongst the Market.
His arrival did not attract much attention, as most of the long-term loose cultivators here were Alchemists, and they didn’t have the energy to pay attention to newcomers.
It wasn’t until Liang Sheng set up a stall in the market and displayed three pill furnaces that he instantly caught the eyes of the bystanders.
All three turned out to be One-Pattern Artifact Alchemy Furnaces, which immediately caught the interest of the Alchemists selling elixirs around.
In an instant, pill-refining cultivators flocked over and couldn’t help but ask after seeing Liang Sheng’s relaxed demeanor.
“Artifact Refiner?”
Liang Sheng nodded and then shook his head.
He immediately took out three Array Flags capable of setting up a Gathering Spirit Array and placed them in front of his stall.
“Array Master?”
The surrounding Alchemists’ eyes lit up, and they were left with only one thought in their minds.
An outstanding Loose Cultivator who could dual wield artifact refining and array techniques was extremely rare.
This person should be befriended.
That was the first reaction in the minds of the Alchemists, after all, this was no ordinary place but the Dan Ding Sect Market.
Here, Alchemists were not rare, but those who could also set up arrays while refining artifacts were scarce.
The more such people there were, the more spirit stones these Alchemists could save. Moreover, the prices of pills in the Dan Ding Sect Market were higher than in other markets to prevent cultivators from outside Sects from flocking in.
Even deals between loose cultivators could be somewhat cheaper than in Dan Ding Market shops, but their prices were still similar to those in the Three Sects and Six Orders’ shops in other markets.
As a result, apart from Alchemists who were confident in their skills and gathered here with the dream of joining the Dan Ding Sect, there were not many loose cultivators who were proficient in other skills.
After all, if a loose cultivator here had no talent in pill refining and no other skills, they would likely be employed by Alchemists if they chose to stay.
Like those low-level Loose Cultivators using Spiritual Rain Technique he had seen before in the market, Alchemists settled their payments with pills, thus exploiting a loophole in the market rules.
Therefore, in general, most cultivators with certain techniques who didn’t know how to refine pills chose other markets, leaving only a few mediocre ones to be employed by alchemists here.
This is something the Three Sects and Six Orders were happy to see since it allowed them to extract value from those cultivators, so they turned a blind eye.
Each market had its unique characteristics, and the Three Sects and Six Orders made the most of their resources.
So when they saw Liang Sheng’s identity, the surrounding Alchemists and loose cultivators were naturally surprised, especially after asking for the prices of the Pill Furnaces, which were immediately snatched up.
Even some female Alchemists couldn’t help but look at him with unusual gazes, which made Liang Sheng feel somewhat overwhelmed.
However, he understood why they were so eager. After all, the prices of such items in the shops of the Three Sects and Six Orders were unbearable for them.
Moreover, he was now at the Seventh Level of Qi Refining, which made him a promising potential. With his dual talents in artifact refining and array formations, he could be considered an advantageous stock.
Thus, from his first day in Dan Ding Market, Liang Sheng had made a name for himself. With his “Chen Sheng Pill Maniac” experience, he was glad to see this situation.
As long as Alchemists needed him, he would be better able to achieve his goals. Surely, among them, there must be some hidden talents.
There were Foundation Establishment Pill formulas in the black market of Hua Tian Sect Market. It was not impossible for these Alchemists to have Golden Yuan Pill formulas, right?
In the following days, Liang Sheng’s life was extremely comfortable. After all, Alchemists were very enthusiastic toward him, as his kind of talent was scarce in Dan Ding Market..
