Vol 2 Chapter 14: Frost Blade
Zheng Fa followed Senior Sister Yuan through the market district, familiarizing himself with the responsibilities of the market overseer.
As they walked, Senior Sister Yuan explained,
“What we call the market district is actually divided into three parts—the plaza where the large storefronts are, the market street where the smaller shops are, and then the open market with all the individual stalls.”
“Our main job is to maintain order in these three areas. First, we need to prevent any monopolization or coercion. Second, we must stop troublemakers or high-level cultivators from bullying the merchants.”
She spoke with the confidence of someone who truly knew her field.
“The large storefronts don’t need much oversight—they belong to the major sects of the Hundred Immortals Alliance. No one dares cause trouble there,” she added. “Besides, no matter how outrageously they price their goods, we can’t do anything about it.”
Zheng Fa remained silent.
Not only did these major stores have powerful backing, but they also sold rare and valuable materials.
