Lin Moyu asked, “Sister Feng Yao, did you also live in Shang City before?”

Lu Fengyao gave a hum of affirmation, "Yes, I was born here, grew up here, and cultivated here. However, I have been to other places as well. I've visited both the Southern and Northern Continents, so I am familiar with many places. If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

"That's great!" Lin Moyu said, shamelessly and without any hesitation.

The two chatted along the way, walking slowly and leisurely, enjoying a relaxed pace.

Facing Lu Fengyao, Lin Moyu had no intention of fishing for information. Their conversation was natural, without any pretense or need for ulterior motives. He could even let go of his minor guard.

Occasionally, Lin Moyu would have the illusion that Lu Fengyao was somewhat similar to Lin Mohan, just a gentler version of her.

Although he didn't intend to fish for information, Lin Moyu still obtained quite a bit of knowledge.

Lu Fengyao was born and raised in Shang City, and later followed the hurricane warship to various other continents, so her experience was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Given her status, being born in Shang City meant that Shang City was the headquarters of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. No wonder the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce didn't have its own base in the Southern Continent; it turned out their true headquarters was in the Eastern Continent.

At the same time, Lin Moyu also learned that the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce trained Lu Fengyao very strictly; clearly, they had high expectations for her.

Lu Fengyao was not even seven thousand years old this year, yet she had already joined the ranks of the Dao Venerable Realm—a true prodigy.

In the Origin Continent, those who could become Heavenly Venerates within ten thousand years were considered geniuses. And those who could reach the Dao Venerable Realm within ten thousand years were considered prodigies.

Someone like Lu Fengyao was a top-tier prodigy. Among the entire generation of disciples in the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, Lu Fengyao stood at the pinnacle in terms of cultivation talent.

Lu Fengyao said, "In a few days, there will be a gathering in Shang City. I wonder if Little Brother Lin is interested in going to take a look?"

Lin Moyu asked, "What kind of gathering?"

"It is a gathering of the various prodigies of our generation." Lu Fengyao explained the details of the gathering. Those who participated were all prodigies under ten thousand years old who had entered the Dao Venerable Realm.

Every thousand years, the various prodigies would hold a gathering to sit and discuss the Dao, verifying what they had learned. Each gathering was held in Shang City.

Lu Fengyao had attended a few times before, but those times she had only observed by virtue of her special status and did not truly participate. This time, she didn't need to just observe; she could participate directly.

As a prodigy, she had the right to bring one person with her, and clearly, she wanted to give this spot to Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu felt that this spot must be very precious; after all, one could meet the most outstanding prodigies of the current era, and there must be many people who wanted to go. He hadn't expected Lu Fengyao to want him to go.

Lu Fengyao smiled like a flower, "How about it? Do you want to go see what the prodigies of this generation are like? I think you will have the chance to interact with them in the future."

These prodigies came from various top-tier forces, and many were successors carefully cultivated by their respective factions. While it was called a gathering, it was actually a comparison.

To be honest, Lin Moyu was somewhat moved; after all, they were prodigies, and it wouldn't hurt to see them.

Lin Moyu laughed, "If you give the spot to me, will it make things difficult for you, Sister Feng Yao?"

Lu Fengyao let out a hearty laugh, "I make the decisions about my own spot. What could be difficult about it? Who would dare to make things difficult for me?"

Lin Moyu gave a thumbs up, "Dominating!"

Lu Fengyao patted Lin Moyu on the shoulder, "Actually, I think that once you become a Dao Venerable, you will be even more outstanding than all of them."

"At the gathering, there will be many saintesses from top-tier forces. Little Brother Lin, you can take a good look. If you see someone you like, Sister will help you act as a matchmaker."

Lin Moyu was momentarily speechless and shook his head to refuse, "No need, no need."

Lu Fengyao laughed, "Don't be shy. Marriage is perfectly normal!"

Lin Moyu said, "I already have a wife, so there is no need to trouble you, Sister Feng Yao."

Lin Moyu muttered inwardly, wondering if all older sisters shared the same trait. His own sister was like this, and Lu Fengyao was the same.

Lu Fengyao's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect Little Brother Lin to be married already. What a pity. When will you introduce your wife to Sister?"

Lin Moyu quickly said, "There will be a chance."

Should he let her meet Saint Master Gu Hanyu? Introduce them… better forget about it. He might get struck to death by Saint Master Gu Hanyu.

Suddenly, a roar came from ahead. Lin Moyu's eyelids twitched slightly, and his spiritual sense felt a throb. He sensed a special aura.

Chapter 2752: If I tell you to set it up, just set it up. Why so much nonsense?

The Free Market appeared in his line of sight. It was a square plaza with sides exceeding one hundred thousand meters. The plaza was huge, and every ten meters there was a stall, all set up by the cultivators themselves.

The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce was responsible for management, and each stall was free. Even if there were transactions, they would not take a cut.

There was only one rule: anyone who did not have a transaction record within ten days had to leave the Free Market and could only set up a stall again after ten days.

This was the cooldown mechanism established by the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. Apart from this, there were no other rules. The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce did not care about the quality of the items sold inside or whether the prices were reasonable; everything depended on one's own discernment.

Many people felt that the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce was doing a charitable deed by providing such a huge free trading space for so many people. If they charged fees or took a cut, they could earn huge profits. Many people were even grateful to the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce.

However, Lin Moyu did not think so. He saw the brilliance of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce at a glance. All the cultivators who could come here to trade would not sell items that were too poor.

Cultivators had limited experience and could not compare to the people in the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce; they didn't even know the true value of the things they were selling.

The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce could send people to constantly pick up bargains in the market, and the profit obtained that way would be greater. If they took a cut or charged fees, it would, to a certain extent, discourage cultivators from coming.

Perhaps similar markets would appear in every major city, scattering good items everywhere. It was better as it was now, where most of the cultivators in the Eastern Continent would concentrate here to trade. One could only say that this move by the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce was extremely brilliant.

Moreover, in the Free Market, there were not only human cultivators but also demon race cultivators, and members of the Hundred Herbs Alliance would sometimes come over. Besides that, occasionally, one could see the Dragon Clan and the Buddhist Clan. Only the Insect Clan would not appear here.

In front of the Free Market, two people were glaring at each other, roaring endlessly. They spoke extremely fast; their cultivation not only enhanced their voices but also increased their speed of speaking. Incredibly ugly profanities rained down on each other like raindrops.

It was hard to imagine that cultivators could utter such ugly words. It went far beyond the eighteen generations of ancestors; they cursed as many generations as they could. If one's realm and Dao Heart were not sufficient, once suppressed by the opponent, it was indeed easy to lose one's composure.

Lin Moyu could feel that this scolding actually contained a trace of soul impact. However, this soul impact was not strong and did not reach the restriction requirements of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, so it was not stopped.

Lu Fengyao seemed very excited, "I didn't expect to run into this right after arriving. How is it? Isn't it fun?"

A dignified Dao Venerable, the eldest young lady of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, was actually interested in this kind of street scolding. It was truly speechless.

Lu Fengyao said, "In the past, when I encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation, I would come here and listen to a few scolding matches, and the bottleneck would naturally break through."

There was actually such a thing. Lin Moyu found it strange; truly, the world was vast, and there was nothing that didn't exist.

However, Lin Moyu was not interested in this; his attention was elsewhere. At the place where the two were scolding, a pile of items was scattered on the ground. Among them, one item was emitting a faint spiritual aura.

The spiritual aura was weak to the extreme, but it persisted. Relying on his powerful spiritual sense, Lin Moyu sensed it.

"Is it really a spiritual material?" Lin Moyu thought to himself. He came to the Trading Ground just to see if he could find any spiritual material.

When he asked the Third Ancestor to purchase items earlier, he had also mentioned wanting to buy spiritual material. The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce did have spiritual material, but only Heavenly Venerable Realm spiritual material. There were also Dao Venerable Realm spiritual materials, but they had all been sent to the hurricane warship and were not in Shang City.

Lin Moyu guessed that even if there were high-level spiritual materials in the Shang City headquarters, they would be consumed by the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce itself; in all likelihood, they would not be sold. He could only come to the Free Market to try his luck and see if he could pick up a bargain.

Lin Moyu did not hold out much hope; after all, the items in the Free Market had already been swept over and over by people from the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. He hadn't expected to make a discovery just after arriving.

Lin Moyu realized that the people in the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce were not omnipotent; perhaps he really had a chance to pick up a bargain.

Lin Moyu asked in a low voice, "How long will they be arguing like this?"

Lu Fengyao said, "Hard to say. Some last only a few minutes, while some can scold for a whole day. Looking at them, one is a Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate, and the other is a High-level Heavenly Venerable; they should decide the winner soon."

Indeed, that High-level Heavenly Venerable, relying on his cultivation, had already steadily suppressed the other party, so the outcome would not take long. Lin Moyu was not in a hurry and accompanied Lu Fengyao to watch the excitement.

There were not many cultivators setting up stalls in the market who came to join the fun; perhaps they were already accustomed to such things. No one touched the items the two had scattered on the ground. With Lu Lian as the head steward, no one could do anything dishonest. The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce was not truly indifferent; they would also handle matters that disrupted the order of the market.

Lu Fengyao watched with great interest, even taking out snacks to eat, a proper spectator. A spectator at the Dao Venerable Realm was not an exception here.

After arguing for half an hour, the two sides finally decided the winner. That High-level Heavenly Venerable won the final victory; although there were no substantial spoils of war, it made him become arrogant and overbearing.

The reason for the argument between the two was actually very simple: it was for the stall. They were located at the entrance of the Trading Ground, which was the best position. That Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate had been set up for more than nine days, and it was about to reach the tenth day, yet he still hadn't had a transaction. According to the rules, he had to leave once the tenth day arrived and could only return after ten days.

The High-level Heavenly Venerable had his eye on his spot and was waiting for him to leave. As it turned out, he was impatient for a moment and took out his own items to prepare a few hours early, and as a result, they started arguing.

The Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate lost the argument and had no face to stay here, so he packed up his things and prepared to leave. The item Lin Moyu had sensed belonged to him.

Before he finished packing, Lin Moyu had already walked over, "Fellow Daoist, are you still selling your things?"

The man glanced at Lin Moyu, and seeing that Lin Moyu was also a Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate like himself, he was still polite, "Of course I'm selling, but don't think you can drive down my price just because I lost the argument."

Lin Moyu laughed, "No price reduction. Please, Fellow Daoist, set your things up and let me take a look."

The man stared at Lin Moyu, "Are you really going to buy?"

Lin Moyu said, "You have to let me see them first."

At this time, Lu Fengyao spoke up, "If I tell you to set it up, just set it up. Why so much nonsense!"

The man had already been frustrated, and being spoken to like that by Lu Fengyao, he became furious. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he discovered that Lu Fengyao was a Dao Venerable, and all his anger vanished instantly. He dared not lose his temper at a Dao Venerable; one was not allowed to fight in Shang City, but that did not mean one could not fight outside Shang City.
