"I see, thank you for letting me know, Daoist Zhu!"
Lin Chang'sheng clasped his fists in gratitude upon hearing this.
"Daoist Wei, you're too polite!"
"We're all loose cultivators here—helping each other out is only right!"
Zhu Zhishan returned the courtesy with a fist salute.
Lin Chang'sheng and Zhu Zhishan chatted in a private booth for over an hour before parting ways, having agreed to head to the Independent Practitioner Marketplace together at the start of next month.
From Zhu Zhishan, Lin Chang'sheng learned that—
Most cultivators are ascetics, usually in closed-door cultivation. Unless the trade market is open, it's rare to see any of them out and about.
The Independent Practitioner Marketplace sells all sorts of low-tier cultivation techniques, various elixirs, and all kinds of bizarre items—you can buy them as long as you have spirit stones.

Lin Chang'sheng returned to the inn.
"Still ten days until the trade market opens..."
