Realm-Hopping Martial Master

"This time around, I’ve realized just how different a County Town is from a Province City. For instance, Big Brother Shang, your County Town has a black market too, right? Martial Artists often exchange various items among themselves. In a Province City, a black market is actually just an ordinary trading ground."

"The really good stuff only appears at auctions!"

"Just a few years ago, at one auction, they even sold Middle Grade Martial Arts! Of course, this is just what I’ve heard. The most common items at an auction are still resources used for martial practices."

"For example, various Elixirs we’ve never even heard of back in the County Town, some specially crafted weapons, and all sorts of rare items."

"The County Town is closed off. Even those County Towns close to a Province City are just frequented by more Martial Artists, that’s all. There wouldn’t be any Elixirs, let alone Middle Grade Martial Arts!"

"But in a Province City, Martial Artists all have the chance to encounter these things!"

Zhang Ruo mentioned Elixirs three times, each time with a look of clear envy.

Clearly, even for the Zhang Family, Elixirs were still a luxury.

Only true geniuses got to enjoy such treatment provided by their families.

"Which family holds the auction, or do they take turns?" Jiang Shu suddenly interjected.

He had no expectations for an auction of Middle Grade Martial Arts. Even if he came across one, the major families would snatch it up first, leaving him no chance. But if the auction house was impartial, objective, and ensured customer confidentiality, he might as well try trading between the Two Realms. It was definitely more reliable than setting up a stall in the black market. The money earned could be used to directly buy Leopard Strength Tiger Bone Pills from the Chamber of Commerce to rapidly enhance his Bone Forging speed!

"Neither. To speak of the true powers in Yongning Province City, one must mention the ’One Official, One Merchant, Ten Great Families.’"
