After having the conversation with Mr Ming, Taf was in deep contemplation .
"It seems the road of a cultivator is not an easy one after all . If only a few people are selected each year that means my odds are not that high are they?" He questioned himself .
"Well with anything you want, how can you give up after a mere setback? Even if I am not seen as worthy when the cultivators descend, there must be other way to gain strength . Who says a mortal can't become just as strong as those so called cultivators?"
As he pondered he made his way to the bargain sales happening . He noticed that the streets were crowded with both Merchants and customers alike . These event occurred frequently in the city, so he was not new to this scene .
As he walked he made sure to watch his surroundings, after all he knew he was a walking target .
With this being such a well attended event, there must be members of the different gangs around and those are the people he did not want to see the most .

" Come one and all to my store where you will find the finest and rarest pearls, emerald, gems your eyes have every seen . "
"Behold the Bonita Diamond neckless, an item so rare few have even seen it in its existence" shouted a jeweller to the crowd .
" Pretty lady do you want to look like royalty and have all the young fellows marvel at your beauty . "
" Come in an get a make over and then visit our clothing store next door, where we will show you the finest clothes within a 1000 miles . Come do not be shy " A female owner of a boutique tried to enchant a patron .
All over the streets there where store owners trying to get the attention of the streams of potential customers that walk pass the stores with wondering eyes and ears .
Then his attention was suddenly peaked when he heard a commotion at a health strength and body store .
" Are you serious this will help me to recover from my bad back in a matter of nights" asked an anxious middle aged .
"Yes indeed it will, but not in a matter of nights but moments" .
" Buy our patented Pain Back Begone and see the result in a matter of minutes . Do you not believe? Come buy a bottle and allow the crowd to see it wondrous effects . " A man of slender built persuaded as he eyed the intrigued crowd .
Th middle age man walked over and took the bottle then paid the 3 silver coins . He looked at the man selling the elixir and stated
" so if this has no effect I get my money back right"
"Of course you will get your money back if not satisfied in the result . "
The crowd looked on expectantly as the man drank the small bottle of liquid . He waited for 2-3 minutes without any movements, which kept the crowd in suspense .
An impatient observer shouted out " does the damn thing work or not, stop being dramatic and tell us" .
The middle age man started to walk around in an upright manner while a smile started to gather on his face .
" oh oh . . . . , I'm healed , my God there is no pain anymore . I feel rejuvenated and my back feels like I'm back in my youth . It does indeed work it's a miracle, I've been to doctor after doctor and they said nothing could be done"
"Thank you! Thank you ! you saint of a man " The man went down on his knees kissing the boot of the seller of the elixir .
The seller looked on man and the crowd with his sincerest of smiles and responded
" I am just a humble man selling a product to the benefit of my fellow citizens, at a price which offers the most meager of profits .
"Does anyone want one?"
"I do i want two" shouted an eager watcher .
"I also want three this would help me In my after hours activities " another man added .
Having seen that he had gathered the attention of the crowd the middle again seller put on a pitiful look as he responded .
"I am both ashamed and awed at everyone's willingness to buy, but unfortunately the quantity of the product seems to be limited . Therefore, my apologies as we seem to have an issue with the supply and demand" .
