As someone got lucky and bought good merchandise, it instantly ignited the gambling spirit in everyone's hearts. What if they were next?

Although they all understood this was the other party's scheme, and there would definitely be few good items, most of what they bought were ordinary goods. But the advantage was the fair price. It was all the same who they bought from, and here they could try their luck.

"Give me one."

"Me too, I want to pick two."

The stall instantly became lively. Li Han and Qi Feng went forward to tend to it, while Zhang Qing, sitting at the table, couldn't help but give a thumbs-up when he saw this.

"Junior Brother Lin, brilliant! That move of yours is brilliant!"

Zhang Qing was truly impressed with his junior brother this time. "Junior Brother Lin, you're simply born for this job. If you had been born here earlier, you would definitely be this guy."

Seeing Zhang Qing make a thumbs-up gesture, Lin Chang'an's mouth twitched. Why did those words sound like an insult?

"Actually, it's also about exploiting people's psychology. Everyone knows clearly that there are only a few lucky ones, but it's all the same who they buy from."

Lin Chang'an said with a smile, and Zhang Qing nodded with emotion. "Right, our prices haven't increased anyway."

"But we have to take advantage of today's opportunity to sell as much as we can, otherwise, it will be hard to sell later," Lin Chang'an said with some emotion. Seeing this, Zhang Qing couldn't help but nod in admiration.

"Junior brother, you are still kind-hearted."

This was not sarcasm. Just as Zhang Qing finished speaking, the two emaciated figures who had just been sold knelt down before Lin Chang'an with a thud.

"Thank you, Second Master Lin."

"Sob sob, Second Master is merciful."

The two emaciated figures kowtowed and thanked him tearfully. No one thought it was insincere, because if no one bought them, their fate would be even more tragic.

Instead, at this time, being bought at this price allowed them to live a few more days of peace. If they were lucky, they might spend the rest of their lives in bed, which could be considered dying with a smile.

Even ants cling to life; Lin Chang'an was their benefactor.

"Look, look at our Elder Lu's disciple, he's just kind-hearted and can't bear to see these people suffer," Zhang Qing said, slapping the table, his face flushed with excitement, following others.

He had never experienced such a thrill. In the past, when selling people, they would all be crying, and he felt like a scumbag who had lost all his conscience. But now, these people, after being sold, were turning around to express their gratitude.

"All of you, open your eyes and watch carefully. This is Elder Lu's personal disciple, my junior brother, Lin Chang'an!"

At this point, Zhang Qing turned his head with a sense of disappointment, looking at his subordinates, and said angrily, "Look at you guys, you've followed me for so many years, why don't you have any brains? And look at my Junior Brother Lin, he's only been here for a few days."

"Open your eyes and look properly, what do you call this? This is called professionalism!"

As Zhang Qing was lecturing his subordinates with frustration, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but feel a little speechless. What was professionalism? He simply couldn't bear to see human suffering.

Just as the lively trading was in full swing, a figure with unsteady steps and a pale complexion walked out proudly amidst the commotion, followed by two subordinates.

"I heard that Baldy Zhang of the Great Sword Sect still sells alchemists. Today, this young master has come to see if it's a scam or if someone is trying to tarnish the reputation of our market."

Before he arrived, his voice preceded him. Zhang Qing, who had been all smiles, gradually lost his smile as he looked at the person who came to cause trouble, his eyes revealing a cold glint.

"Oh, isn't this the Beast Taming Zhou Family? No!" Zhang Qing wanted to mock the other party but suddenly thought of something and showed a look of annoyance, shaking his head. "I'm truly sorry, you know, my memory fails me. I forgot your surname is Wang."

However, the apology on Zhang Qing's face turned into naked mockery the next moment. "But it's almost the same. You could even give your wife to an elder of the Zhou Family. Perhaps tomorrow you'll be kneeling before them and changing your surname to Zhou."

Instantly, Zhang Qing's subordinates burst into laughter, while the young man being mocked had a dark expression. He sneered, folded his fan, and said coldly, "Baldy Zhang, after not seeing you for days, your mouth skills have improved. It seems the hair on your head has finally grown."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an, standing by, could see that the two parties had a past grievance, and it was obvious that Zhang Qing had suffered a loss.

"Heh heh, what? Do you still dare to make a move here?" Zhang Qing directly mocked with a cold laugh, while the other party didn't fall for it. Their eyes met, and it was clear their animosity ran deep.

"Zhou Youyun, no! Wang Youyun." Zhang Qing's face showed a mocking smile. "Could it be you want to send me a woman?"

Zhang Qing's words were all about hitting sore spots, while Lin Chang'an frowned with solemnity. This person's self-control was truly remarkable, to be able to endure this.

Dressed in white, Wang Youyun sneered and looked around. "We're doing business openly. Are you, Baldy Zhang, going to drive people away?"

Zhang Qing snorted and sat back down. Having gained the advantage, he didn't want to argue further with the other party, as he would lose if he was retorted.

With Wang Youyun's arrival, the crowd began to whisper among themselves, and many revealed looks of realization. It was clear that the identity of Wang Youyun had spread among the crowd.

Those watching the excitement around them widened their eyes. Indeed, no matter the world, watching the show was almost etched into people's bones.

"This person has a great background. He's a distant relative of an elder from the Beast Taming Zhou Family. Later, in order to curry favor with the Zhou Family, he offered his wife to this elder..."

As Zhang Qing's taunting voice echoed, Lin Chang'an suddenly understood. So that was the reason. He had to admit that this "Brother Endurance" was truly formidable.

Wang Youyun, dressed in white, let out a cold snort. He didn't need to look to know what this group was doing, but he was here to cause trouble today.

"Baldy Zhang, one can be dishonest in their personal life, but not in business."

Wang Youyun coldly scanned the sacks one by one, while Zhang Qing was not intimidated, showing a mocking smile on his face. "I heard you, Wang Youyun, borrowed a lot of spirit stones from the Zhou Family elder and want to make a quick buck. Are you now stuck with a lot of human tickets?"

Beneath the mocking smile, many of them had secretly harbored ambitions to make a fortune when the market expanded. They never expected that while the copper ore attracted many people, it also attracted many of these rule-breaking outsiders.

The human ticket business had expanded rapidly, and there was even a strict order from above that no one could cause trouble for the expansion of the market. As a result, he almost ended up with unsold stock.

"Baldy Zhang, I heard you're even willing to sell alchemists!"

Although it was a question, the mockery and disbelief in his tone were evident to anyone. Wang Youyun looked at everyone with a cold smile, as if to say, there must be something wrong with this alchemist.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, the alchemist is among them."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an took a deep breath, put on a fake smile, and respectfully pointed to the sack on the left. For people like this, you either strike them down with one blow or never offend them.

You can call someone who gives their woman to others cowardly, or anything else, but if they dare to show their face proudly after doing such things, then you must be cautious of such people.

Because such people have no bottom line.

It's Tuesday, please continue reading, fellow Daoists.
