Chapter 732: Chapter 326: Suppressing Evil Spirit Sword, Ten Years Later

After all, being one of the nine palaces of the Immortal Mansion, the Immortal Trading Palace occupied a vast area with numerous buildings and countless cultivators. It was the largest market Han Yi had seen so far.

As Han Yi walked in, he found that the cultivators on the market streets were not all high-level cultivators. They ranged from Qi condensation stages to Golden Core, and even Spirit Transformation stages.

Even when he had walked several meters in, a cultivator with an imposing Immortal aura descended from the sky and entered a loft, with the Immortal aura vanishing immediately. The cultivators on the street occasionally stopped and looked in awe but were not surprised. Clearly, this scene of an Immortal arriving was not uncommon in the Immortal Workshop.

Han Yi observed his surroundings; the layout of the Immortal Trading Palace was similar to other markets in the Cultivation World. Its unique feature was that it divided its shops into ten areas.

The first-level area couldn’t be called a shop but rather temporary stalls that could be rented and returned at any time. They needed to be set up in designated places, and fees were charged based on the location and size of the stall. They could be rented daily, monthly, or annually.

This was similar to the low-level markets Han Yi had encountered in the Yu Heng World.

Although the Immortal Trading Palace was established by the Age Candle Immortal Mansion, its influence extended not only within the Age Candle Immortal Domain but also across the entire Immortal Realm, encompassing sixty-nine Immortal Domains, countless large and small powers, Immortal Courts, Daoist temples, Immortal Sects, sects of various sizes, and business firms. They all had a foothold inside the palace.

Second-level areas could be considered shops and had fixed stores; however, their locations and sizes were not very large. Generally, they were rented out by rich loose cultivators or small Golden Core sects.

That’s right.

In the Yu Heng World, a Golden Core sect was already considered not small, but in the Immortal Realm, a Golden Core sect was as small as it could be.

Third-level areas had shops with relatively better locations and less restrictive store sizes; generally, they could be rented out by Nascent Soul Sects.

Fourth-level areas corresponded to Spirit Transformation Sects.

Fifth-level areas were for Half-Immortal Sects. These sects were close to Immortal Sects, possessing some status and presence.

Sixth-level areas were a special area with a small scale. It followed a mode similar to the first-level area, with no fixed shops, only stalls. However, these stalls could only be rented out by cultivators with a cultivation base at the Half-immortal Level or above.

Simply put.

The first-level and sixth-level areas were for private transactions between cultivators below and above the Half-Immortal Level, respectively.

Seventh-level areas corresponded to Immortal Sects, where shops could be rented out if an Immortal was in charge of the sect.

Eighth-level areas were designated for Daoist temples to set up shops.

Ninth-level areas were reserved for the Immortal Court, the only force with such strength to do so.

The highest and tenth-level area was naturally for the Immortal Trading Palace itself.

Han Yi had already gained a deep understanding of the Immortal Trading Palace from a jade butterfly in the Xuancang Palace.

After entering the Immortal Trading Palace area, he didn’t rush but first compared his findings to the actual situation.

The areas of the Immortal Trading Palace were almost circular when viewed from above, with lower-level areas further out and higher-level areas closer to the center. The ninth-level shops were situated at the core position.

Of course, the most central location was occupied by the Immortal Trading Palace itself, with a massive Immortal Array surrounding the entire area, maintaining order and ensuring stability.

Han Yi was currently in a first-level area close to the Immortal Mansion.

He first walked along the first-level area, surrounded by stall cultivators of various realms. Some had just started Qi condensation and displayed ancient and simple magic artifact fragments they had just found in a Cave Mansion.

There were also mysterious cultivators who concealed their faces with Spiritual Treasures, making it impossible for even Han Yi to see who they were. They placed a blood-stained three-legged bronze fining pot and a simple bronze piece on their stalls. Han Yi guessed that this mysterious cultivator was likely a high-level cultivator, at least at the Nascent Soul Stage, or even a Spirit Transformation cultivator.

In the first-level area, it was natural for Spirit Transformation cultivators to have stalls to sell things they didn’t need or secretly dispose of ill-gotten gains.

Speaking of which.

The purpose of the sixth-level area was similar to that of the first-level area; however, it was only accessible to Half-Immortal cultivators. But in essence, they were the same.

In the Immortal Realm, cultivators at the Half-Immortal level had completed the Immortal Road and needed only a chance to overcome the Immortal Tribulation, become an Immortal, and achieve their Immortal body. Therefore, many low-level sects classified Half-Immortals in the ranks of Immortals.

Although this argument was not rigorous, it was understandable.

Han Yi glanced at the three-legged bronze fining pot and the ancient bronze piece without rashly probing with his divine sense. He looked away and continued to walk forward.

After half an hour, Han Yi finally left the first-level area. Of course, he had not yet fully explored this area, but he was already very familiar with it.

After spending some time in the second, third, and fourth-level areas, getting acquainted with some businesses, Han Yi finally arrived at the fifth-level area, his target for this visit.

Shops in the fifth-level area were of the Half-Immortal level, and the items within could definitely meet Han Yi’s needs. Furthermore, the shopkeepers or store owners who occupied the fifth-level shops generally belonged to the Nascent Soul or Spirit Transformation cultivators. Han Yi’s Disguise Technique had been verified to work among Spirit Transformation-level cultivators.
