Chapter 327: Hua Xue Valley Marketplace

Once all the houses were constructed, Hu Jian retrieved a large quantity of raw materials from the Inner Valley's storage and handed them over to the hands of Outer Valley cultivators.

In this chaotic world, finding something to do and having the opportunity to support oneself was extremely rare and precious.

These materials were quickly refined into various resources such as pills, talismans, magical weapons, and more.

Hu Jian collected these resources, deposited them in the storage, and then had the trading caravans take them to various influential forces for trade, exchanging them for a substantial amount of goods and Spirit Stones.

As the trading caravans traveled through the lands, a piece of news began to spread throughout the Cultivation World.

It was said that outside of Hua Xue Valley, a temporary marketplace had been established, and it would open on the first and fifteenth day of each month.

As for the name Hua Xue Valley, it was none other than Wang Hong's Mountain Valley base.

During the last Fellowship Alliance battle, more than three hundred cultivators attacked Mountain Valley, and over two hundred of them fell victim to the Red Powder Skull Flower's poison.

In front of everyone's eyes, these two hundred-plus cultivators turned into black liquid at the entrance of Mountain Valley, seeping into the ground.

Every cultivator who witnessed this scene couldn't help but shiver at the memory.

In the accounts passed down by many cultivators, this Mountain Valley's name became synonymous with blood and bones.

It was rumored that the items traded in Hua Xue Valley's Marketplace would mainly consist of second-tier Spiritual Objects, with a large number of second-tier talismans, pills, spiritual weapons, and other items available for sale.

After this news spread, various small and medium-sized forces were tempted, but they currently lacked the ability to participate in such trades.

They were isolated and vulnerable, and if they dared to participate in the trading, they would likely be robbed along the way.

The only ones capable of participating in the trade were the active Treasure Hunters in the vicinity.

This piece of news quickly caused a stir among the Treasure Hunters community.

Although Treasure Hunters plundered great wealth, consumable Spiritual Objects were just that—consumable. They didn't possess the skills for refinement, so even if they had a lot, they would eventually run out.

It wasn't easy for Treasure Hunters to trade away the vast amount of wealth in their possession.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, our Marketplace business is extremely slow. We can't sell many Spiritual Objects in a day. Should we consider changing our line of work?" Meng Song looked at the lackluster Marketplace with a sense of urgency. Many of their outer disciples relied on the Marketplace for their livelihoods.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist. The time is just not right yet. When the time comes, people will naturally come to trade," Hu Jian said confidently. Second-tier pills, talismans, spiritual weapons, and spiritual wine were all rare treasures even before the Cultivation World turmoil. Now, their numbers were even scarcer.

Treasure Hunters, in their daily activities, had no means of obtaining these items aside from looting.

The turning point in this situation occurred just before the sixth opening of the Marketplace when a group of Treasure Hunters obtained a substance called Moonwatch Rhino urine.

This Moonwatch Rhino was an extremely rare species within the Demon Clan. Its urine had the ability to dispel illusions.

The reason why the reputation of the blood transformation in Hua Xue Valley was so great was mainly due to the horrifying Red Powder Skull Flower poison used by Wang Hong before. It was too terrifying, and its defenses were insurmountable.

This group of Treasure Hunters each dripped a few drops of Moonwatch Rhino urine into their noses and confidently entered the Marketplace.

Empowered by the Moonwatch Rhino urine, they were no longer afraid of Wang Hong's Red Powder Skull Flower poison and began purchasing various second-tier Spiritual Objects in the Marketplace.

For instance, second-tier pills were bought in quantities of hundreds, second-tier spiritual wine was purchased by the pounds, and spiritual weapons were bought by the handful.

These Treasure Hunters almost converted all their idle resources into consumable second-tier Spiritual Objects.

With an abundance of resources, these Treasure Hunters rapidly increased their strength and soon absorbed another group of treasure-hunting teams.

This event had a significant impact on the surrounding area.

Now, they couldn't just watch others obtain a large number of resources and grow stronger. Therefore, during the seventh opening of the Marketplace, a large number of Treasure Hunters flooded in.

These Treasure Hunters went on a buying spree, fearing that if they didn't act quickly, others would snatch everything. The second-tier items in the Marketplace's inventory were quickly depleted, causing this Marketplace event to end early.

From then on, business in the Marketplace began to thrive.

Products produced by Inner Valley and Outer Valley cultivators were exchanged for Spirit Stones or raw materials, then refined and sold to Treasure Hunters.
