Chapter 2064 — The Uses of Colored Steel

Wei Zhao nodded. Given the Han family's current strength, sending them to search the various hidden clans for colored steel on his behalf would be no different from asking a tiger for its hide! If at this summit of the hidden clans he helped the hidden Han family win a few more matches, then it might be possible to raise their standing somewhat—but that rise would also depend on the Han family slowly building up connections on its own. To expect them to inquire about colored steel for him, who knew how many years he would have to wait.
"Is there no other way?" Wei Zhao asked, somewhat disappointed.
"I wouldn't say there's none..." Han Xiaohu hesitated a moment. "Other channels exist, but they too are a matter of blind luck..."
"Let's hear it," Wei Zhao said. Sometimes having a method was better than having none; one more road was one more hope.
"Shortly after the summit of the hidden clans concludes, a cultivators' market will be held. We could go there and take a look," Han Xiaohu said.
"A cultivators' market? What is that?" Wei Zhao frowned and asked.
"I guessed Elder Lin probably didn't know such a cultivators' market existed—that's why you brought it up. It seems Elder Lin truly doesn't know," Han Xiaohu nodded and said. "In fact, our hidden Han family only learned of this cultivators' market in recent years! And the cultivators' market is attended by old-established cultivation families, as well as some loose cultivators led there by their masters. Other cultivators, without someone to guide them, would never find the place!"
"Tell me about this cultivators' market," Wei Zhao nodded and asked.
"A cultivators' market—as the name implies, it's a place where cultivators trade with one another, a small-scale fair. There, cultivators can do business, setting out stalls to sell rare treasures, spiritual medicines, cultivation manuals, and the like that are of no use to themselves. You can sell for money, or trade for items you need!" Han Xiaohu explained. "There are quite a few loose cultivators there, so perhaps colored steel and the other things Elder Lin needs can be found."
"So such fairs really do exist," Wei Zhao said in sudden understanding, his heart leaping with joy. With a fair like this, finding things in the future would be much more convenient! And if Han Jingyi could refine pills in the future, she could refine some elixirs to sell and trade there as well—that would be a fine channel indeed.
"Yes, and not only are there such fairs, the hidden clans also hold auctions at regular intervals!" Han Xiaohu said. "The things in the market are merely ordinary; it's the things at the auctions that are truly fine! Moreover, at an auction you can specify to the seller that you wish to trade for a particular item—if Elder Lin has other treasures, you could request colored steel in exchange!"
