1879 Success 3
The next day, Gu Chaoyan handed over the pills and magical weapons to Zhou Huaijin. Those possessions would be sufficient for their entry into Haitian Market.
“You should take a break once we start exploring. We don’t need to rush to find everything,” Zhou Huaijin said, concern evident in his tone as he noticed that Gu Chaoyan hadn’t seemed to get a proper rest.
Over the past few days, they had been taking breaks in separate rooms. It was clear to him that she had spent the entire night working on the pills.
He wished he could arrange everything for her, allowing her to take a break and do as she pleased. He couldn’t help but worry about her well-being.
However…
He refrained from doing so.
Gu Chaoyan had always been an independent person with her own ideas. It was important to respect her choices and not constantly intervene.
But when his concern couldn’t be contained, he couldn’t help but make some arrangements.
Gu Chaoyan nodded in agreement.
She understood.
With the deal concluded, they were now ready to enter Haitian Market.
With their Dharma artifacts, enchanted armaments, and pills, they felt fully prepared and confident.
As they made their way in, they noticed another person accompanying them.
Lingyun exclaimed in surprise, “It’s him!”
Gu Chaoyan looked at the man curiously and asked, “Who is he?”
“He’s the one who presented the Invisibility Pill at the auction.” Although they hadn’t interacted with each other, Lingyun remembered him because she had read about the Invisibility Pill in a book the day before. After all, the pill held a certain mystique.
The young man also glanced at them, his expression still stubborn.
He had not initially been qualified to enter Haitian Market. However, after returning the previous day, someone approached him and exchanged a middle-grade Dharma artifact with an enchanted armament for his Invisibility Pill. That was how he gained the qualification to be present today.
He felt a mixture of anger and jealousy towards Gu Chaoyan’s alchemy skills.
Without saying a word, he lowered his head and walked away.
Gu Chaoyan had wanted to offer him some advice. The reason his Invisibility Pill had only been partially successful and looked embarra.s.sing was because he had not controlled the fire properly and lacked sufficient magical power. High-level pills required the support of one’s own magical power to function effectively.
If she had failed, it would have been a failure on her part.
What a pity.
He had no intention of sticking around with them. He let it go, recognizing that everyone had their own destiny.
Once they entered Haitian Market, their attention was quickly captivated by the bustling surroundings, causing them to forget about the brief encounter with the young man.
Lingyun led the way, providing some insights as they walked. “In Haitian Market, you’ll find a diverse range of people. For instance, on the streets, there are retail investors who use their own possessions to barter for what they need. These individuals include alchemists, craftsmen, and various other professions. They travel alone and don’t belong to any specific factions, so this is the only way they can obtain items to strengthen themselves.”
“…”
“Moreover, there are several auction houses of different sizes. They always have information about upcoming auctions within radius. The largest auction house in Haitian is the Haitian Auction House. It’s considered the best in the market.”
“…”
“And also…”
