And so, the Independent Lords tended to trade with each other, even bartering goods, unless they were moneyed tycoons in urgent need of certain items; otherwise, they seldom patronized the big shops.
Thus, a street market arose where Independent Lords could set up stalls to sell goods and conduct retail trade.
But setting up these stalls was not so easy, not only did one have to pay a hefty transaction tax to the Sky-reaching Tower, but also a stall fee to the Ninth Campus; it was said to be a good deal but it was not much of a bargain in reality.
As for the idea of finding hidden treasures at these street stalls... such things rarely happened within the Sky-reaching Tower because every item had its attributes displayed. Even if some descriptions were vague, and the introductions not comprehensive, these would be classified as special items with significant value, not easily sold; and if they were sold, it would be for an astronomical price.
