Walking around the most important places and tourist attractions in Hawaii, Lannah gave the group of three a tour around the place.
Soon they reached the trade hub.
"There are so many stores here" Themur was amazed.
"This is the trade hub. It is a commercial centre created by Water Raising Palace and Blazing Flame Palace. There are a lot of things up for sale here at the trade hub" Lannah explained.
"Hmm. Brother, let's separate for now to purchase what we want. We'll meet here by sunset" Hong Haoyu suggested.
"Okay" Lu Zheng nodded in agreement. "Lannah can come with me"
"I'll follow Hong Haoyu" Themur said. "A rank four beast like me can't roam this place on my own"
"Alright then"
In the cultivation world, there were many types of martial practitioners as not everyone had the talent to battle or liked battling.
There were martial practitioners that devoted their time to refining artifacts or pills. They were called artificers and alchemists respectively.
Some also acted as healers that healed various casualties. They were titled Doctors.
Others like Lannah were only interested in commerce. The ones in the trade hub were also like this.
Soon, Lu Zheng and Lannah made it to a simple building which was entirely made with black iron.
Entering, they saw a lot of beautiful clothes. A guard which stood by the door in the inside stopped them and said;
"Show me how much vital stones you have"
"Why should I?" Lu Zheng queried.
"Store policy. Anyone without up to a thousand vital stones is prohibited from entering. Now let me see your vital stones" The guard said.
"Oh I get it. Here, take a peek" Lu Zheng said as he showed the guard his spatial ring.
"A ring? Is this really a spatial ring?" The guard asked as his rude temperament melted away.
Using his psyche, he inspected its contents: "Hmm!"
"What is it?" Lannah was surprised by the guard's sudden change in expression.
"Oh my word" The guard's tone became incredibly respectfully. "Dear esteemed customer, you are welcome to Garment Hall. Pick any cloth you want and then check in with the lady over there"
"Come on Lannah, let's go" Lu Zheng said as he went in.
Lannah's expression was of puzzlement as she walked behind Lu Zheng. Just how much did he have?
Lu Zheng went on with his original plans and bought many clothes for himself. They were all robes with many red hues.
"You should get something for yourself" Lu Zheng offered.
"What? No, I possibly can't" Lannah rejected. "Not after what happened on the shoreline"
"Don't think too much. Just enjoy it" Lu Zheng smiled coolly.
A faint blush grew on Lannah's cheeks and she nodded enthusiastically: "Then I won't be courteous"
Other than buying clothes, Lu Zheng also purchased Simple Grade pills for his consumption and a few Profound Grade pills.
Pills were more expensive than artifacts at the same grade. The Profound Grade pills there were extremely expensive and sparse in numbers.
He could only lay his hands on a few.
Even those few were the most common types of Profound Grade pills – Revitalisation pills and Recovery pills.
One recovered expended Qi and the other cured injuries.
They were very important for martial warriors.
Later on, Lu Zheng and Lannah met with Hong Haoyu and Themur at the agreed place and time and continued their tour into Blazing Flame Palace's territory.
The trade hub was like a landmark that signified the end and beginning of the territories of both Palaces.
Just as they were going, a cold voice shouted behind them.
"There's the bitch!"
