Ning Cheng was no longer in Tai'an City; he had disguised himself as a pale-faced, finely-dressed nobleman. The place he was in was the Xilu Market, only hundreds of li away from Tai'an City.
For cultivators, a distance of hundreds of li was very close.
In a certain sense, Xilu Market existed specifically for Tai'an City. Tai'an City was bustling with activity and land there was exorbitantly expensive. Many people wanted to do business in Tai'an City, but their capital was not sufficient. This gave rise to the Xilu Market, which boasted many commercial buildings that purchased spiritual grass and materials.
Transactions here were quick, and there were no restrictive formations or flying prohibitions. Some cultivators who obtained materials preferred to trade here rather than going to Tai'an City. Over time, more and more shops sprang up, leading to the creation of taverns, inns, and all kinds of other places. Eventually, this formed a market without walls.
