Yunzhou, Xianyun Marketplace.
As Zhou Chun approached the scene following the noisy commotion, a quick observation and inquiry allowed him to grasp the situation.
The cause of the incident was simple—a cultivator had just agreed in principle to trade for a spiritual object with a stall-holding cultivator, when suddenly another cultivator, having gotten wind of the deal, arrived to intervene, offering a higher price for the object.
Then, seizing the opportunity, the stall owner hiked up the price, declaring that the highest bidder would secure the purchase.
It must be said, the stall owner's actions were undoubtedly unscrupulous.
Since he'd already agreed with the first cultivator, he should have honored the commitment.
However, for cultivators like him who ran street stalls, breaking promises was business as usual!
If a street stall cultivator didn't sell counterfeit or substandard goods, they were already considered to have a conscience.
