The market was as big as several cities of mortals, and it wouldn’t be strange getting lost.

However, it was also a place where almost everything could be bought as long as one had enough money.

The merchants weren’t as strong as the information brokers, and there were even Law Masters selling things, but the truth was that almost all of them were associated with a World God that supported them, which made that there wasn’t almost any conflict in the market.

Most of the items were also from the World Gods, and those sellers were just working to sell them. In exchange, they received the guidance of the World God and could also use the fame of the market to sell their own things.

Moreover, the money of selling their own things would be entirely for the owner since there wasn’t any need to give a part to the World God.

A year of work was worthy of just one season of guidance from the World God, but it was still a great temptation for those without background.

The World God couldn’t bother to sell things personally and preferred to act as information brokers while leaving the rest to their subordinates.

However, the prices of the items were still decided by the World God selling them, and each World God put a different price, so if one wanted to save money, it was imperative investigating the whole market to find the cheapest price.

Yale’s group had a lot of money, but if they spent it without thinking it would be wasted very quickly.

Although Lina just needed to ask her father, and then she would obtain another fortune without problems, she would need to go to her father’s place first, and there wasn’t time for that.

They hadn’t bought anything after spending several hours walking. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to buy, but they didn’t want to buy the first items they saw unless it was an item that couldn’t be found easily in other places.

However, they hadn’t found such an exclusive item either, so they had been just looking at the marketplaces.

“Mister! Come to my stall! I can ensure you that no one else will offer you better prices!”

It wasn’t strange having seller exclaiming like that especially among the Law Masters, but the one who shouted was an Essence God, so Yale paid a bit more attention to his stall.

However, the prices were quite average with the rest of the stalls, and it was far from being called the cheapest stall.

Yale ignored it and continued walking followed by the other three, but the seller spoke again.

“I am a man of Terug. He instructed me to give you discounts in all the items.”

Hearing that, Yale stopped because he remembered that the information broker from before was called Terug. However, Yale didn’t think too much about him at that moment and didn’t think that Terug would have asked his men to give them special treatment.

Yale had been the only one speaking and also the one who gave the money although it belonged to Lina, so Terug believed that Yale was the leader of the group.

Of course, no one in Yale’s group would complain about that. Lina and Yale shared everything, and the others were Lina’s sister and Yale’s disciple, so it wasn’t wrong if the other party considered Yale as the leader.

“You should have said that earlier.”

Yale turned back and returned to the stall of that Essence God.

When Yale heard the discounts that the seller was offering to him, he didn’t doubt that he couldn’t obtain those items cheaper unless he looked for shady sellers with dubious reputations.

Terug wouldn’t give such treatment for any group of Essence Gods just to befriend them, but he noticed that the four of them were already Essence Gods in all the Essences needed to become World Gods.

Seeing someone fulfilling the conditions but not advancing was strange and four of them together was quite shocking.

After all, there wasn’t any loss to advance as long as one fulfilled the requirements, and based on Terug’s common sense, the only reason someone would restrain was that their souls weren’t ready or that their minds were still quite weak.

However, the only ones who could face those problems were those who advanced to that point while being too young, and the only ones who could do that were those with extremely big backgrounds, so Terug put extra effort in befriending them.

Of course, he couldn’t be too obvious, or his intentions would be seen, so he only wanted that Yale obtained a good impression of him.

Although the reason for the four of them being ready to advance yet not advancing was that pure light that had appeared from Yale’s body, Terug was right when thinking that their backgrounds were big.

Just Yale’s mother was enough to be among the greatest backgrounds and adding the Battle God, and Lina’s family would be enough to fill with fear the minds of any World God if they were to learn about it.

Even with discounts, Yale’s group spent a lot of money in that stall, and although the profit from those sells was quite low compared to usual, just by how many things they bought, there had been enough profit to make the seller smile.

In fact, some of the things Yale bought were from the seller and not from Terug, but the seller didn’t say it and applied the discount without having any need to do it.

After all, Terug could only discount his own things, it wasn’t proper asking his subordinates to make a discount, but the subordinate felt that if Terug gave Yale so much importance, it was better to be in his good side instead of being stingy.

Of course, Yale noticed that the subordinate offered a discount for the things that he wasn’t forced to discount because the stuff from the World God and the stuff of the seller were marked separately.

Initially, Yale decided to buy it to him even without a discount because he felt that the seller had a good character, but he didn’t expect that the seller would act like a fool on purpose and gave everything discounted.

“I bet that Terug has more stalls. If you guide us to them, it will save us a lot of time. In exchange, I will teach you about the Essence you choose as long as it wasn’t one related to crafting.”

The seller was an Essence God, but only in three Essences, so he was still far from Yale’s level.

Although the seller knew that Yale was stronger than himself, he didn’t know if the other party would be able to teach him well or not.

“What are you hesitating for? I am his disciple, and I am far stronger than you. Receiving a lesson from my master is your blessing.”

Shiba’s words were shocking because anyone would have thought that he was Yale’s friend and not his disciple.

“I gladly accept your offer but wait for a moment. I need to inform Master Terug about it.”

He couldn’t leave the stall without permission from Terug, but when he explained the situation to Terug, he obtained the approval instantaneously.

Compared to befriending people with great backgrounds the bit of money that could be made from selling things was nothing to Terug.

Moreover, Yale had bought more than half of the goods of the stall, so there wasn’t that much left to sell, and most of the stuff remaining wasn’t too eye-catching.

“They accepted my goodwill, so they should be willing to accept some more. This is my chance to be hired by a great background. I should prepare a luxury dwelling for them. I can just say that it is a gift for having bought so much.”

Yale’s group spend a lot of money in just one stall, and they went to buy even more on the rest. It was hard to find people with so much money, and even if there were some people with those quantities of money, they wouldn’t use it so quickly.

At that moment, Terug was even surer that his choice of offering them discounts had been the correct one.

The benefits were less than usual, but usually, he would need years to sell so many things, and the items he was selling weren’t useful at all for him, so he preferred Spirit Stones even if the quantity was less than the average market price for them.

A short while after that, he received news that Yale almost emptied another of his stalls, and it seemed to repeat in each of the stalls Yale went.

At that moment, Terug was crying in happiness as he felt that he would be able to improve quite a bit in his training with that.

Of course, he would still be extremely far from becoming an Origin God, but there were several subdivisions among World Gods, and Terug was still among the weakest ones.

Only those who had just advanced were weaker than him.

World Gods were subdivided into ten tiers based on how much progressed in their way to become Origin Gods, but it was just a division created by the World Gods and not an official one.

Those who just advanced were Tier 10, while those who were at the peak Tier 1. Terug was only Tier 9, but he felt that reaching Tier 8 would be easy with so many Spirit Stones.
