Jesse followed him out. Lionel seemed to have aged a decade within seconds. Looking frail, he said miserably, “Please give my room to Mr. Chance. I don't deserve it.”
Jesse nodded and conveyed the message to Jared, who gladly accepted the offer and moved into the room at the far end of the hallway.
At nightfall, the streets turned lively.
Jared suggested, “Jesse, why don't you accompany me to roam around this place? Let's see if there's anything interesting.”
Jesse nodded vigorously. “Sure, Mr. Chance. I'll bring you to Trader Street. It's a temporary area built to facilitate the trading of special goods between martial artists.”
Shortly after, they arrived at the vibrant Trader Street that was filled with an excited buzz. There were shops selling herbs, medicines, jades, cauldrons, swords, and a wide array of weapons!
As Jared walked around the area, he was disappointed to see that there was nothing impressive. All the goods were regular items that could be easily found elsewhere. He was looking forward to finding a unique spiritual tool that could help him cultivate an ultimate shielding tool for Josephine.
Jesse noticed his downcast face and explained, “Mr. Chance, all the good stuff are usually taken to Herb Palace as soon as they appear. You can't find anything extraordinary here. That's one of the reasons why Herb Palace is organizing this Martial Arts Gathering.”
As Jared listened, it suddenly dawned on him that he still has some revitalizing pills. So, he queried, “What are the procedures to sell something here?”
Jesse shook his head “There's no specific protocol to follow. You just need to find a space and set up a stall.” He then added, “You have something you want to trade, Mr. Chance?”
“Yup, I want to sell some of my revitalizing pills.”
Saying so, Jared spotted a vacant area and occupied it immediately. Then, he whipped out the pills.
Jesse examined the dark-colored pills in Jared's hands. Feeling dubious about it, he questioned, “What are these pills called, Mr. Chance?” “Revitalizing pills,” Jared replied casually.
“Oh, I see.” Jesse had not heard of it before.
