When the two of them reaches the Free Market area, it was bustling with people. When he paid attention on the crowd, it seems that the four kitchen staff was here as well, fighting against somebody for the sake of purchasing a set of kitchen utensils.

"Ahh... Looks like except a few main profession like those I know, those lower profession is also quite popular amongst the choice of the disciples studying in the Seven Star Sect. I wonder what kind of other profession is available in this world." Zhang Wu Ji and Tang Yuan entered the square and begin their window shopping.

In a flash, Tang Yuan vanished from his sight. It seems that the fellow found the stall he's looking for. As for Zhang Wu Ji himself, by shopping without a motive, it would be difficult for him to look for something to buy. Luckily, he possess the ability of Upgrade, thus he can inspect each item he was interested with, only with a touch.

"Good morning, Master Senior Ninth, why don't you come to have a look on the humble wares I got for this time?" a merchant that previously missed Zhang Wu Ji quickly approached him and tried to sell him his ware. When Zhang Wu Ji were greeted with those mineral stones that were placed nicely on his movable store, he immediately feel, nauseating.

"I stopped playing with blacksmithing for quite long after I finished crafting the eight swords for my senior brother and sisters. Now you want me to get some minerals again? No thanks!" Zhang Wu Ji entertained him for a moment before he excused himself. Even after touching a few of them for his inspection, their quality were not up to his standard.

If the previous trader's collection of mineral stones were unpolished crystals, then the collection of this trader are completely overpackaged rocks. It was pointless to even spend time to smelt them, especially when Zhang Wu Ji were a millionaire now. Turning around, he left the trader speechless as he look at his worthless ware.

"That idiot, even from far I noticed that the quality of his product is low. Master Senior Ninth, why don't you take a look at my wares? Their quality were higher." another trader approached Zhang Wu Ji to market his products, and luckily, he did not follow the path of the previous guy and convert everything in his store into things he wasn't familiar with. His store were filled with herbs, some little production tools, and also some refined Iron in their Basic Grade.

"This few item is not bad." Zhang Wu Ji pointed at three different item. Two of them were medicinal herbs, and one was a crystal that were hidden deep inside a decorative rock. The moment he pointed at this three item, the trader immediately explained their characteristic, before he gave out a price of 11,000 Gold Coins for all of them. Since the rate were worth and quite a bargain, Zhang Wu Ji purchased them.

The earlier two product cost him 2,000 Gold Coins in total while the Vein Rock cost him 9,000 Gold Coins. It was worth the price he paid, because nothing could beat the effect of longevity it gave, especially nobody might know about this fact because they don't possess the Upgrade System like he does.

Going on from one store to another, Zhang Wu Ji failed to obtain any precious treasure at all. His expectation towards the ware increased, because of his own special ability. Thus, after wasting some of his time looking randomly, he decided to stop looking, and awaits what will come to him. This was the best choice, especially to a person that hates shopping, and hates to randomly looking for treasures to be bought.

He sat down in the middle seating spot provided in the middle of the Free Market Square, and end up being approached by some random traders that wishes to sell their merchandise. But unfortunately, none of their wares were interesting enough for Zhang Wu Ji, where he waited until afternoon before he decides to leave.

"Master Senior Ninth! Please wait for this trader!" a trader that were late for his business rushed over to the square, betting in his heart to see Zhang Wu Ji once more. He was the trader that has all his merchandise purchased by Zhang Wu Ji last time. It seems that instead of being late for business, he was delayed because of a certain issue.

"Look at that idiot, he was late for so many hours and still dare to ask Master Senior Ninth to wait for him. What do he think himself is? VIP merchant?" the crowd comments and look down on him because they heard his voice from afar. But the more they despise him, the worst they will felt, because when Zhang Wu Ji turned his head at the incoming merchant, they begin to talk without bothering what the others think.

"Master Senior Ninth, I'm sorry I am late today. May I interest you with this special plant?" he immediately ask for a forgiveness first because he were late. But at the same time, he took a smaller pot with a special kind of soil inside, where a beautiful looking tree with a fruit hanging on the branch grown in it.

"What a good quality Sun Facing Fruit Tree! What is the age of this plant?" Zhang Wu Ji was surprised with the appearance of the Sun Facing Fruit Tree, which is the essential ingredient to concoct Qi Sensing Pill! With this tree in his hand, as long he can continue to plant the seed of the fruit when the fruit were harvested for the concoction, it will be an easy matter for him to grow another Sun Facing Fruit Tree!

Such a tree wasn't distributed or made for sold, because no matter how poor is a person, each single fruit grown from the tree is worth at least 4,000 Gold Coins if it were sold to pill masters, and worth 7,000 to 10,000 Gold Coins if they were to be made into Qi Sensing Fruit! The tree can grow from a small seed into a seedling in one month, from seedling to sapling on their second month, and grown into a so called mature tree in their third month.

After maturity, they will begin to grow the Sun Facing Fruit, with the harvest of 1 fruit each month. Their seed can be grown into another tree, and it will only took another three month to mature, and fruit will be able to be harvested on their fourth month. A businessman with only one tree to start with are able to get at least 8 trees in the end of his first year, to 96 trees in his second year.

It was a good business to step in, because of the stable rate of the Qi Sensing Pill, and unless a new pill is created which were even economical than this fruit, their stability will maintain for a long time, perhaps until one day the continent reaches their last moment of prosperity.

"Dear Master Senior Ninth, the Sun Facing Fruit Tree is exactly 3 month and 7 days old. This were a very precious plant that I spent quite an effort to obtain them from the Southern Imperial Kingdom's Herbal Hall. I hope this plant able to get into your eyes." the trader chose his word carefully, but he did not know that the moment the plant appeared before Zhang Wu Ji, his complete interest were already on the plant itself.

"This treasure worth even more than the White Zircon Pure Vein Rock! The Pure Vein Rock can prolong a person's longevity, but this Sun Facing Fruit Tree can continue to support the treasury of the sect for a long term. If I were able to use [UPGRADE] on the plant, who know what miraculous effect will appeared?" Zhang Wu Ji's complete attention were put on the plant, making the trader immediately understand the silence.

"Master Senior Ninth, let this humble trader deliver the wares to your courtyard first. I believe you will want this item for sure." the trader were understanding enough to directly drive his store straight to where Zhang Wu Ji's courtyard located, and that small gesture took all the others by surprise.

"Damn! Did the guy got his lucky stokes again? How can all our merchandise weren't up to his interest, but that guy does? Did they discussed about what he wants before he bring everything here to sell?" the other traders complaint when they end up becoming the losing side once more. The jealously is burning high into the sky, because which trader weren't dreaming about having all the wares in their store cleaned by a buyer?

Back to the courtyard, Zhang Wu Ji were generous enough to paid a full 1 million Gold Coins, or 1,000 Qi Sensing Pills. Kept in a nice jade bottle of 100 pills each, Zhang Wu Ji hand 10 jade bottles to the trader before he drop all his wares in the courtyard, and excuse himself. His trip to return is a must to walk past the Free Market, where he show a few jade bottles in his hand to those still in the market, and rouse their jealousy further.

As or Zhang Wu Ji, he wasn't as idle as the merchant, and proceeds with identifying the products he bought from the trader. This were the second time he came to trade with Zhang Wu Ji, and he were confident that his wares are one level further in the terms of quality and prices. This is also the reason he did not consider too much and gave him a thousand of the Qi Sensing Pill without any hesitation.

It seems like this time, instead of spending time to collect high quality mineral stones, he spent most of his time to collect few different seeds, herbs and also some good quality vase and pots that were beneficial for a person to pay attention in herb cultivation. It was a very through consideration, because the trader completely provides all the required tools to begin cultivating medicine.

"Good! I did not think before that the merchant are able to read my mind, and provides me with relevant materials that I will need to grow my farm. With the additional 4 kinds of seeds in my farm, the production of my own medicinal pills can be quickly readied, and this will promote the growth of the Seven Star Sect." Zhang Wu Ji was delighted when he found out that the trader has just fulfil his aim to help the sect to grow.

"I am happy. Within a short period of time, I will be able to help contribute to the sect, and fulfil my promise to my master. By that time, I will be granted freedom to do anything I like." Zhang Wu Ji remembered the promise he made to his master before he become one of his direct disciple.

"Tang Yuan, are you home?" Zhang Wu Ji summoned the fellow out, and in a short while, he appeared from his room. At last, Zhang Wu Ji did pay his attention at the youngster and finally found out that this follower of his changed slightly from when he was here two months ago.

"Did you advanced?" Zhang Wu Ji asked, because he can feel that Tang Yuan's strength now is in his 160 Strands of Inner Qi. Although it was quite a good improvement from previous, but he did not missed the fact that him improvement wasn't only on his overall cultivation, but his physical strength.

Using the New Fist of Destruction Qi Manual, Tang Yuan's physical strength has increased by at least 4 points by now, after he continuously practice them in order to not disappoint Zhang Wu Ji's effort to assist him. What he did not know is that by practicing the moves and skills inside of the manual, it was beneficial to his cultivation, especially when his physical strength can contributes to his overall cultivation speed.

"Yes, Master Senior Ninth, Thankfully to you, my speed of cultivation has increase significantly." Tang Yuan bowed as he answered the question. He did not forget that two month ago, before he served Zhang Wu Ji, he was still a lowly slave disciple that only qualified to enter the ground floor of the Knowledge Pagoda, and they even needed to pay for a single Qi Sensing Pill as the entrance fee.

But now, he was a fully qualified Inner Disciple that were allowed to enter the ground and first floor of Knowledge Pagoda without any form of payment, and even his monthly supplies has increased into 10 Qi Sensing Pills monthly. With the increase of supplies, he can easily support his usage a little longer.

"Oh, since you're already an Inner Disciple now, should I increase your pay by 2 Qi Sensing Pills every day?" Zhang Wu Ji took another thirty Qi Sensing Pills out from his pouch and filled them into a jade bottle before he left it in his hand. Stunned by his generosity, Tang Yuan can only bow in gratitude, after the word thank you no longer able to describe how thankful he is.

"I have a few new seeds over here, and also a new Sun Facing Fruit Tree, can you help me to manage them?" Zhang Wu Ji waved his hand at a side, and show the stacks of new items and seeds he just purchased. Being a person that obsessed with matters related to the Botanist Profession, Tang Yuan interest immediately revealed as he went closer to inspect the initial products.

"Golden Dandelion, Water Hawthorn, Poison Eating Lotus, Rock Flower, and Sun Facing Fruit. All of these plants are 1st Tier Plants! Their usage in the field of medicine is vast, and even some Inner Qi Warrior may need them when they organized an expedition. Plus we're all still living in a 1st Tier State, so it is fine if we can enjoy such product."

"Plus, the Rock Flower need a good amount of Mineral Stones to grow, this means I will need to go to the blacksmith more often to purchase those grounded mineral dust and leftover waste to make sure they grow up properly. Are we going to grow them based on blacksmithing purposes or cultivating purposes?" Tang Yuan immersed deeper into the field of his expertise, where he soon started with calculating the number of soil, fertilizer, and their density of soil, sand, and rock to be put inside of the Liang Mountain Earthenware Pot.

Ignoring Zhang Wu Ji that still stands at his side, Tang Yuan begin to inspect the seeds one after another, and differentiate them according to their quality, and density of soil and water it needs before he started to arrange them in a box wet cotton inside. It was a very good method to begin to cultivate the seed, allowing it to start sprouting before they can be transferred into the soil.

There were a total of 200 seeds, thus it will be easy for him to accurately arrange all of them in a row of four, fifty pots each, the arrangement is easily done, especially when he have some free time to prepare the soil while the seed is still growing. One month is all it need to grow into a seedling. On its second month, they will quickly grow into sapling, and turned into adult plant at the end of the third month.

With most of the thing were handled by Tang Yuan, Zhang Wu Ji prepares something else. After shopping for some herbs from the market, Zhang Wu Ji now will need to prepare the concoction for 10 sets of Xian Lady Pill, 100 sets of Wound Mending Pill, and another 50 sets of Violet Calming Pill.
