The slave market was also one of Huizhen Workshop's major features.
As the name implied, it was a market for selling slaves. Within these tents enclosed by fences, all manner of slaves were sold, including spirit pets and members of the Demon Race!
The origins of human slaves were especially complicated. Most of them had once been cultivators. Some had committed crimes and been sentenced to slavery; some were victims of power struggles; others had debts they could not repay and could only offer up their bodies as payment.
There were even some who had been abducted.
Cultivators who came to the slave market to purchase servants and pets came in an endless stream. Some wanted household servants, laborers, or maidservants; some were selecting cultivation cauldrons or playthings; others bought them for spell or pill experiments.
The former was still tolerable, but the latter two often met with exceedingly miserable fates.
Yet this was also part of the laws of this world. Even the heaven-ranked Nine Provinces Immortal City had never been a bright paradise.
Darkness existed here as well, and it ran fathomlessly deep.
It was merely that the Immortal Alliance had to save some face—or perhaps did not wish to witness the suffering of slave cultivators—so all transactions were conducted within these airtight tents.
Wang Chen had entered once out of curiosity before, then quickly come back out.
Wang Chen had returned to Huizhen Workshop today mainly to gamble on jade and strike gold. He had not intended to enter the slave market at all.
Yet when he reached this place, Wang Chen suddenly felt a stir in his heart, as though some unseen force were guiding him and drawing his attention toward a large tent not far away.
After considering it, Wang Chen walked toward that tent.
