Serra was alone as he headed to the market.

He was thinking of strolling around the market first to see what goods the vendors have.

There were cases were some vendors sell some excellent materials.

As for potions, he wasn't interested.

As a practicioner of medicine who reached the apex of cultivation, his skills in medicine was the highest in the entire realm.

However, he needed to restrict himself here.

Last night, he had taken a stroll here in the silence of the night.

It was peaceful and quiet.

Very few dared to cause trouble here.

Furthermore, there were guards patrolling around.

In contrast to the night, the daytime was very lively.

There were people here and there going wherever they please.

The market was bustling as well.

There were people striking up deals everywhere.

Some purchased weapons... Some wanted armor... Others various pills and medicine... While the rest desired techniques.

There were also numerous contestants in the tournament looking around for information.

It was very lively.

It struck a great contrast to the silent night.

Serra enjoyed it.

The various cultivators in the higher realms lacked this level of passion.

They were all immortals.

They've long forgotten how interesting the mundane realms are.

Brimming with passion and life...

Serra didn't hide himself this time around as he strolled around.

He found no need for it.

He also detected some trouble coming his way but he deftly avoided them.

Along the way, he saw some good ingredients and purchased them.

He haggled a bit with the vendors but he did get them at a fair price.

After a while, he was finished.

"I'm done with the market... Now, perhaps I'll see the various shops in the main street?"

The market may have some good deals but for reliable ones and high-quality ingredients, the main street was the way to go.

"Right. Let's head off."

----------------------------------------

After some time, Serra arrived at the main street.

As the place where the major businesses are located, it's filled to the brim.

"Hm... Is that...?"

He spotted one of his companions.

It was Lilia.

He headed towards her.

"Lilia! Are you done with your task?"

He asked.

Lilia turned.

"Oh, Serra. Yes, I am."

They greeted each and began to chat a bit.

"Where's Luisa?"

He asked about his other companion who Lilia accompanied.

"Ah, we separated to gather more information. I'm going to gain some information of the various top contenders."

He nodded.

"I see."

While they were discussing, some onlookers were staring at them intently.

As for why, it's because Lilia was a beauty.

As for Serra...

"Wow... They make a fine painting together..."

"Indeed... Two beautiful women together make a fine sight."

"That girl with eyes like sapphire jewels is a calm and serene beauty while the other is a stoic and mature beauty..."

They were discussing their beautiful appearances.

""...""

As cultivators, they naturally heard them.

"Let's go."

"Agreed."

They don't want to stay here any longer.

Furthermore, Serra was a man!
