Guihua District is divided into many blocks. Aside from the cultivators who reside here permanently, the rest is virtually monopolized by the Eight Pill Alliance. The Eight Pill Alliance is a large organization, with eight Gold Core Realm experts at its lead. Beneath them are their disciples and grand-disciples as well as cultivators within the Foundation Establishnt Stage and Qi Cultivation Period who are affiliated with them.
These cultivators are generally not apt at fighting, primarily cultivating in support-oriented professions instead, enhancing their cultivation levels through jobs such as alchemy, dicine preparation, and talisman creation to exchange for cultivation resources.
Nearly every mber of the Eight Pill Alliance has to sell various dicinal pills, talismans, etc., to obtain other cultivation resources. They either rent a store in Guihua District individually or collectively, where they display the dicinal pills, talismans, and other items they’ve created for sale.
In order to allow everyone to profit, the Eight Pill Alliance uniformly manages all its mbers. They conduct yearly skills assessnts. Based on the results, they distribute storefronts. The more exquisite one’s techniques, the more likely they can open their store at the center of Guihua District.
The area Qi Tian is entering is already very close to the core of Guihua District. Those who can open a shop here are either direct disciples of the eight Gold Core Realm powerhouses or cultivators with exceptional expertise. The dicinal pills and talismans they produce are always popular items throughout Wanjie City. However, when it cos to influence, Guihua District of the Eight Pill Alliance still falls short of Wanjie Comrce. After all, the Eight Pill Alliance lacks a Nascent Soul Master. Skills such as alchemy and talisman creation are often linked with cultivation realm. The absence of a Nascent Soul Master and top-tier Gold Core Realm powerhouses destines the Eight Pill Alliance to not reach the pinnacle of life skills.
But if we disregard the impact of the cultivation realm, in a competition among the sa realm, not even mbers of Wanjie Comrce dare to claim they can certainly defeat those from the Eight Pill Alliance.
However, the workforce of the Eight Pill Alliance is quite limited. Many tis, the rchandise they sell is in short supply, often resulting in stock shortages. In the face of shortages, the Eight Pill Alliance adopts a unique approach. Instead of restocking imdiately, they allow each shop to restock at the beginning of the month. Unless there are extrely exceptional circumstances, no restocking is allowed at any other ti.
While this may result in so loss for each shop, from another perspective, it also encourages every mber of the Eight Pill Alliance not to overly invest their energy in business, but spend more ti cultivating and improving their skills. With improved skills, the quality of the items they produce would be higher, and therefore sell for more. In a way, this creates a virtuous cycle.
The day Qi Tian arrived at Guihua District was the day after the Eight Pill Alliance’s restocking day. Although he arrived a bit late, it was still much better than coming at the end of the month.
Even though it was the day after the restocking day, many cultivators were still coming and going in Guihua District. Using the Heavenly Dao Engine’s Spirit Qi detection function, Qi Tian could sense that shops with decent goods had even more cultivators coming and going.
Qi Tian got down from Hu Niu’s back and was about to enter a shop when he glanced at an alleyway and found it to be even more bustling than the shops. Intrigued, he headed over.
About a hundred ters into the alleyway, Qi Tian saw that an area had been roped off. A boundary line was in place and cultivators stood guard outside of it. Inside the boundary line, a visible protective shield veiled a section, vaguely revealing that it was a courtyard.
Evert now and then, soone walked up to the boundary line and, after negotiating a bit with the cultivators who stood guard, handed over a few spirit stones to receive a placard. They could then enter into the boundary line, get closer to the protective shield, and even look inside by pressing against the shield.
A thought surged in Qi Tian’s mind, but he wasn’t sure about it. After so consideration, he approached and greeted the cultivator guarding the boundary line.
The cultivator looked at Qi Tian and said, “You’re here to observe the death house, aren’t you? If you are willing to pay ten low-grade spirit stones, you can view this death house up close. Of course, if you are interested in other death houses, you can pay a middle-grade spirit stone. Doing so not only grants you the right to inspect twelve death houses up close but also cos with an introduction manual for the death houses. This manual introduces all the death houses that will be auctioned this ti, including this one.”
Before Qi Tian could reply whether he wanted to buy the right to observe, he heard soone shouting from the entrance of the alleyway, “The Alliance Master is here! The Alliance Master is here!”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look towards the entrance of the alleyway. Soon, they saw Zhang Jun, the Alliance Master of the Eight Pill Alliance, arriving at the sealed house, accompanied by a group of cultivators.
Zhang Jun commanded supre authority within the Eight Pill Alliance and, being the primary activity area of the Eight Pill Alliance, Guihua District was no different. During his arrival, nearly every cultivator bent their waist to greet him with a bow.
