Chen Xu left the house and went to the marketplace in Pingyang Prefecture.
He was constantly pondering the two clues from the Spiritual Cicada Jade Robe: "Marvels at the bottom of the well, and myriad flavors in the marketplace."
The secret at the bottom of the well he could explore at any time, but the myriad flavors in the marketplace, Chen Xu felt he had grasped something in that moment.
He was not in a rush to explore the well, and precisely because he had realized something.
Therefore, Chen Xu decided to turn up the heat.
As for how to turn up the heat, naturally, it involved immersing himself in the marketplace and taking a closer look.
Baique Street was bustling with people.
Various shops lined both sides, with at least a third related to food.
There were grain and rice shops, mixed goods stores selling oils, salts, sauces, and vinegars, as well as eateries, taverns, snack shops, and more.
Due to the hot weather, there were also dedicated drink shops.
