Shang reached the market after a bit of walking. Sure enough, there were plenty of stalls here. Some of the stall owners were trying to attract customers by shouting out what great prices they had, but some didn't shout anything.

Shang walked around the market for a bit under the constant barrage of offers. He didn't really listen to all the shouts since no one was shouting about knives.

But then, Shang suddenly halted and turned in a different direction. He had just heard something interesting.

Shang had thought that he was immune to the devious powers of marketing. Sadly, he had been mistaken.

"You said you have Rank Two ore?" Shang asked the smiling merchant.

"Of course! Only the finest ores at Willie's Five Finger Emporium!" the merchant said with a wide grin.

"I'm interested," Shang asked. "Could you show me what you have to offer?"

"Sure thing!" the merchant said as he took out eight different pieces of ore. Obviously, these pieces weren't everything he had to offer, and they only were for display purposes.

Shang looked at the eight pieces of ore.

"We have more to offer, but I only brought out the best for you!" the merchant said with a wide smile. "These are our finest Rank Two ores, seven for all the different Affinities and one for warriors that decided to take on a purer path."

Shang nodded as he looked at the eight stones. "Can I touch them?"

"Sure thing!" the merchant shouted as he pushed the stones forward.

Shang took each stone into his hand one by one and acted like he was inspecting their quality.

In truth, he had no idea about ore.

He was actually just feeling the reaction of his sword.
