After the time it took an incense stick to burn, Lin Xuan came out of that unremarkable shop, satisfaction showing on his face, the doubts from earlier gone.
Though the shop assistant's cultivation was not worth mentioning, he had, after all, done business here for decades. He knew everything about Nine Immortals Marketplace as if it flowed from long familiarity, so without much effort, he easily answered the questions in Lin Xuan's heart.
It turned out that this marketplace's origins were truly no small matter. Not only was it the largest on Misty Immortal Island, it could even be said to be the most important marketplace in the entire Boundless Sea cultivation world. Its scale was what one would call vast and majestic; countless rare treasures and exotic valuables could be found there, and the number of shops was beyond counting as well.
As for exactly how many there were, aside from Ethereal Immortal Palace, which was responsible for managing it, even cultivators like them who had lived in the marketplace year-round did not know.
This sounded unbelievable, but it was absolutely no exaggeration, because the marketplace was simply far too large. In business, there were inevitably those who ran things poorly. The secular world was like this, and the cultivation world was no different. Thus, almost every day, shops closed down or changed hands; likewise, almost every day, new shops opened.
Because there were truly too many shops, if there were no requirements for how they were arranged, cultivators who had just arrived here would inevitably suffer a great headache and have difficulty finding the things they wanted to buy.
Ethereal Immortal Palace naturally would not allow such a thing to happen, and so it had carefully planned the layout of the entire marketplace.
