As for the second type, they were ordinary cultivators, even some fellows whose cultivation was nothing outstanding and whose lives were not going well.

Thus, the valuables in these cultivators' hands ended up in a very awkward position. Because they were difficult to identify, it was hard to say whether they were worth money or not.
