"I can't have my priorities set on short term benefits if I want to be strong, so for now I should go to the town market and see if I can buy a Steller martial cultivation art in these 5.03 gold.....fucking hell, after spending these I won't even have enough to eat. " Fuck it, I'll think about it after getting a good cultivation art."

After planning this he went out of his home and went straight to the town market.

Cloud view town's town market is located in the central square of town which is obviously in the centre of the town. In Central square there is, Residential area of town Lord, Li Chun, Li Chun is the only martial artist to have reached the peak of the houtian realm.

Central square also has a cloud view academy for martial artists, where many younglings of town's wealthy people learn martial arts and how to cultivate but it only teaches basic martial arts and basic breathing and meditation techniques and Ling Chen has already learnt these from his grandfather that is why he didn't join this academy...well truth be told if he joined it he would constantly be bullied that's why his grandfather didn't let him and taught him everything by himself despite being injured, this is one of the reasons his situation worsened. thinking this Ling Chen sighed.

...Town's market...

When Ling Chen arrived at the town's market he saw many people setting their stalls, opening shops and hawking their wares. 

" Hey young master comes here and buy this sword it will suit you best. It is a good sword I crafted, buy it only for 50 copper."

" Hey handsome boy, come and buy these clothes. In these, you will shine even more. The price is very reasonable. Come, come..."

...

Every merchant was trying to sell their items. Ling Chen didn't waste his time wandering around and went straight to 'Newmoon trading alliance's trading firm, where you can purchase anything related to cultivation, martial arts and even furniture etc.

It is said that the 'Newmoon trading alliance' has its trading firm in every major town and city in the country and all over the continent. It has a very terrifying background that is why no matter how strong you are, you can't misbehave in a trading firm but they will treat you like a king if you are wealthy enough to give them a great profit by purchasing their expensive products and strong enough for their respect otherwise they won't care even if you a real king.

This trading firm's building was a three-story building, standing almost 100 meters tall. When Ling Chen entered the firm he saw a middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a pointing nose, dressed in white. Ling Chen went to him and was about to ask when he pointed to another man who was like his servant or assistant.

Ling Chen frowned ' the fuck is wrong with this old man, does he think he is some king to dare and behave like this.' but he didn't say anything because he knew that it was natural for him to treat him like this because he was wearing shabby clothes and looked like a beggar rather than some wealthy person.

He went to that man and asked " shopkeeper I want to buy a Steller cultivation art, may I know the price for it."

The shopkeeper looked at him and said in a cold voice " the cheapest one, right?"

Ling Chen frowned but nodded because he really can only afford something cheap.

"The cheapest one will cost you 10 gold coins. The cheapest Normal cultivation art will cost you 5  gold coins ." 

'It's double the price of normal cultivation arts and that is only the cheapest and low-quality one as well'  'Ah' i can't afford it after all.' Ling Chen thought.

" Shopkeeper is there any steller cultivation art worth 5 gold?"

The shopkeeper's voice turned even colder" there aren't any, this is the cheapest one you can get. And do you think steller cultivation art will do you any good?....go away now, I don't have time to waste on you!"

Ling Chen didn't say anything and quietly went out of the shop but there was a cold glint flashing in his eyes ' just you wait, old men, I'll make serve me as a servant ' Ling Chen mumbled. He was never one to be humiliated like this, it's just that he wasn't strong enough yet.
