Chapter 624: Where There Are Cultivators, There Are Markets

Ying Tianhao chuckled and shook his head. "You're joking, surely. It hasn't been that long—how could I possibly have burned through seventy Dao Patterns in one go?"

His gaze passed over Song Zhenfei and landed on Zhang Changheng and Liu Yuntian.

He greeted the two in turn.

All three were senior island lords under Canglong Island, so he naturally remembered them well.

"And this is...?" Ying Tianhao looked toward Wei Jincheng.

Song Zhenfei introduced him, "This is a friend of mine—not affiliated with any sect, but quite capable. He has twenty Dao Patterns."

Ying Tianhao nodded slightly and gave a polite smile.

His eyes finally landed on Shen Mo.

Song Zhenfei spoke again. "Island Lord, this is Shen Mo, one of our young island lords. You might recall him."

Ying Tianhao suddenly seemed to remember. "Ah yes! With Fellow Daoist Shen's strength, it's honestly a waste for him to remain a junior island lord."

"When we return, I'll have someone deliver a senior island lord's token to Fellow Daoist Shen."

"Though Canglong Island no longer has any unclaimed major islands, you're free to choose from the minor ones."

Shen Mo nodded slightly. "Thank you, Island Lord."

Canglong Island wasn't like the Sun Moon Sect—it didn't have a rigid hierarchical structure.

Overall, it was relatively relaxed.

Ying Tianhao, as chief island lord, was more like a patriarch, gathering all island lords under one banner.

As now—he addressed Shen Mo not with rank, but as a fellow cultivator.

This was mutual respect.

Still, even with its loose structure, Canglong Island was far more unified than the Qizhen Alliance. That much was certain.

Ying Tianhao smiled. "It will still take some time before Cangqing's cave dwelling fully opens."

"This small island has already been secured by our Canglong Island. You're free to choose any courtyard here as your temporary residence."

After a brief pause, he added meaningfully, "If any of you have friends from other sects, be sure to visit and communicate often during these days."

Song Zhenfei and the others seemed to catch on.

Shen Mo only smiled faintly.

Ying Tianhao's message was clear.

With the emergence of Cangqing's cave, even the five major sects had arrived.

The treasures of Supreme Cangqing weren't something small sects and minor factions could claim on their own.

To counterbalance the top sects, these smaller forces needed to unite.

Building relationships now would help form alliances once inside the cave.

A short while later, everyone picked out a courtyard.

For safety, Shen Mo and the others chose adjacent ones so they could act together.

One of the courtyards had originally been occupied by a junior island lord.

But once Song Zhenfei revealed his identity, the other island lord wisely stepped aside.

Once settled, Song Zhenfei and the rest left to seek out friends from various sects.

Shen Mo, being new, didn't have many acquaintances.

Wei Jincheng had always been a loner and lacked connections as well.

With nothing else to do, the two decided to visit the nearby marketplace.

They planned to stroll around a bit.

And perhaps look for a few treasures that suited them.

Where there are people, there is business.

Cultivators were people too.

With so many gathered in one place, anyone with half a brain would think to set up a stall and make some profit.

The Sun Moon Sect, as host, had realized this long ago and established a cultivator trading market early on.

Because they'd acted quickly, the Sun Moon Market had become the largest and most prosperous one around.

Clearly, the Sun Moon Sect understood that since they couldn't control the situation, they might as well enjoy it.

With all these cultivators pouring in, earning more money was the only logical move.

Sun Moon Market.

It was located on a small island to the east of Great Sun Island.

By the time Shen Mo and Wei Jincheng arrived, night had already fallen.

Yet the market was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Cultivators came and went in a lively stream.

Shen Mo soon noticed that in the corners of the market, several powerful cultivators were standing quietly.

Clearly, they were there to maintain order.

Judging by their attire, it was obvious they belonged to the Talisman Dao Sect.

It made sense.

The Talisman Dao Sect had always considered itself a righteous orthodox sect.

Only they would respond to the Sun Moon Sect's request and step in to help maintain peace.

Of course, they wouldn't do it for free.

They must have claimed the lion's share of the profits from the Sun Moon Market.

The Sun Moon Sect, at best, could only take a minor cut.

As Shen Mo and Wei Jincheng strolled through the market, they glanced around in all directions.

Wei Jincheng wasn't much of a talker—he remained silent the entire time.

Shen Mo also didn't speak much, simply scanning his surroundings for any treasures that might suit him.

The two had wandered through the market for over half an hour without exchanging a single word.

"Ah!" a female voice rang out.

"Over there," Wei Jincheng suddenly said.

Shen Mo followed his gaze.

He saw a young girl.

She was tall and slender, with fair, radiant skin.

Her facial features were refined, with sharp contours, and a trace of youthful innocence and curiosity lingered in her expression.

Her eyelashes were particularly striking—long and fluttering like willow leaves with each blink.

Her hair was pure white, like freshly fallen snow, drifting in the night breeze.

Such a white-haired girl stood out sharply from the surrounding cultivators.

She stood there, drawing the attention of every passerby without even trying.

The girl hastily pulled up a hood to cover her white hair, then quickly departed.

Wei Jincheng murmured, "That girl... doesn't seem human."

Shen Mo nodded. "Fellow Daoist Wei is right. She's of the Celestial Fox Clan."

In just that brief glance, he had already glimpsed her demon profile.

She was actually the Celestial Fox Clan's saintess.

Shen Mo clicked his tongue in wonder.

Most of this girl's traits were gold-tier.

Especially "Child of the Heavenly Dao"—an extremely rare fate trait.

In his view, it could even rival Shi Tianhao's "Ancestral Dragon Bone," a dazzling gold-tier trait in its own right.

"The Celestial Fox Saintess? I didn't expect her to be a little girl," Wei Jincheng muttered in surprise. "I heard she was supposed to be a mature woman."

Shen Mo examined Hu Xinyue's recent fortunes and sensed something.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, how much do you know about the Blood God Demon Court?"
