Chapter 2163: Chapter 2159: I’ll Take Them All
He wanted to visit the West District of Tianpo City, where it’s known as the miscellaneous goods market of the city. The Demon Hunting Team frequently appears here, selling items they don’t need themselves.
"Are you going out, dear guest?"
The elder housekeeper at the Commander Residence looked at Tang Ming with some surprise, as these guests are the people of the Commander’s sect. The Commander personally instructed them to be well-treated.
But this one wasn’t staying with his companions and wanted to leave, which greatly surprised the elder housekeeper.
Tang Ming nodded, "Yes, I want to take a look in the West District and buy some immortal grass and similar items."
"I see. Lao Ba, Lao Ba, are you there?"
The elder housekeeper’s face showed an expression of realization; Tang Ming was not a disciple of Banshan Sect, but looked like he was brought here by Meng Liang as a guest.
Since he was a guest, he must have some unique skills. Usually, guests are strong tributes. However, Tang Ming is not powerful, meaning he must have his own talents.
Thinking about the recent worries of his master, and Tang Ming wanting to buy immortal grass and elixir, the elder housekeeper Tian Peng immediately showed a broad smile.
"I’m here, Dad, you called me."
A dark-skinned young man walked out of the room.
Tian Peng pointed at Tang Ming, "This is the master’s guest. He’s going to the West District; you know it well there, so take him around."
"No problem, Dad. Don’t worry. I’ll certainly entertain the honored guest well."
Tian Kun smiled while nodding and then came to Tang Ming’s side.
As Tian Peng’s eighth son, Tian Kun was naturally untalented in cultivation.
No matter how hard he tries, he can at most reach the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment. According to the elder immortal doctor from Treasure Hall, Tian Kun was born with congenital deficiencies; his meridians and dantian are withered, unless a master helps him expand his meridians and develop his dantian, he couldn’t become a strong practitioner.
All these years, Tian Kun stayed in the West District because he believed that true talent hides in the city, and there will certainly be masters in the West District. As long as a master senses his sincerity, they will become his benefactor, helping him become a powerful guard beside the master like his brothers.
"Alright, work hard. I have other matters to attend to. Honored guest, I won’t see you off."
Tian Peng smiled courteously at Tang Ming.
Tang Ming nodded, thinking these elder housekeepers are indeed shrewd. Like Meng Zhong before, Tian Peng is crafty. If they feel you can be won over, they offer small favors to draw you in, making it difficult to refuse.
Most importantly, Tang Ming indeed needed a guide.
"Sir, are you traveling with Lord Tian to West Desolation City? So, you were a person of Hailong City before?"
Tian Kun showed a longing expression, having heard that Hailong City, next to the Lost Sea, is a bustling town. As someone who grew up in Tianpo City, he had never seen the sea.
"I’m not from Hailong City; I used to live in the Qingfeng Dynasty area. Is this the West District? It’s not as lively as I imagined."
Tang Ming chatted with Tian Kun intermittently, spotting a big sign saying "West District" not far ahead, and raised his eyebrows.
"It used to be lively here. The new City Lord reformed it, and now the market is still free of charge, and has a better environment."
Tian Kun grinned; he seemed quite impressed by the City Lord.
Tang Ming stayed silent, merely following Tian Kun, who led him around a corner to a large three-story building with nine open doors at the front. At the entrance, several robust body cultivators in immortal cultivation attire were maintaining order.
A robust man, resembling Tian Kun by eighty percent, noticed Tian Kun and raised his eyebrow, "Little Eight, didn’t you say an honored guest was coming today? Why are you running around again?"
"Second brother, I’m accompanying the honored guest. This is the master’s guest, and Dad asked me to show him around the West District."
Tian Kun didn’t sulk from his second brother’s scolding; instead, he smiled at him, having been used to this family treatment.
"Honored guest?"
Tian Heng’s gaze fell on Tang Ming, who was also observing him.
This Tian Heng is also a disciple of Banshan Sect, yet not very powerful, being only about two meters tall. Even so, he has become the manager here.
"Hello, I’m Tang Ming, a guest of Brother Meng Liang."
Tang Ming extended a hand to Tian Heng and smiled.
Tian Heng showed a realization, "So, the honored guest is Uncle Meng Liang, no wonder the master was so excited; it means you are family. Little Eight can accompany you for a tour inside. Rest assured, the City Lord and our master are on the same side. This is our territory."
Tang Ming nodded and followed Tian Kun into the market of the West District of Tianpo.
Inside the market was not as tidy as Tang Ming expected. Apart from the passageways, other areas were almost completely filled due to the noise-canceling formation, sound from outside couldn’t be heard. But entering the market, it felt like the eardrums were severely stimulated.
"The first layer is like this. If you want to buy anything, I can take you there."
Tian Kun looked at Tang Ming somewhat awkwardly.
Tang Ming shook his head, "Let’s just walk. If there’s anything I need, I’ll buy some."
"Alright, alright, let me briefly introduce; the first layer has mostly casual vendors. The second floor hosts demon hunting teams with their own shops. Generally, you can find rare items on the first floor, but the second floor is for purchasing quality goods. The City Lord Mansion doesn’t guarantee the authenticity of items purchased here."
Tian Kun murmured beside Tang Ming.
Tang Ming merely nodded, his gaze sweeping the nearby stalls, where most managers were old, weak, sick, or disabled members of demon hunting teams.
"What is this called, and how much does it cost?"
Tang Ming’s gaze landed on an immortal grass resembling a red chili; it was his first time seeing such a thing in Taoyuan World.
The seller was a lean, sleazy-looking old man whose grin revealed a few yellow teeth. Noticing Tang Ming and Tian Kun, he chuckled, "Dear guest, you have truly stumped me; I’m not exactly sure what this is called. Our demon hunting team found it in the Tianpo Mountains, containing immortal energy, so it must be an immortal grass. Interested in purchasing, dear guest?"
"Yes, I’m interested. You have a total of five, along with some fallen fruits. I’ll take them all. How many spirit stones?"
Tang Ming glanced at the chili-like immortal grass and asked.
