Merchant System: I Sell Goods, I Collect Power

Cedric Locke wakes up inside the body of a character in a cultivation world, only to find himself stuck at the Awakening Realm, the lowest rung of power. Rather than chase combat the usual way, he turns to trade and a mysterious merchant system that lets him sell goods and gather strength in return. As his modest stall grows, rivals and powerful factions begin to take notice of the unlikely seller. The gap between his humble start and the ambitions of the realm around him becomes the engine of his climb.
