After breaking off the engagement with Long Aotian

one year later.

The outskirts of the Forbidden Sun Forest.

"Fellow Daoist! Fellow Daoist in front!" The girl's crisp voice came with the sound of the wind, "Please stay!"

Several monks who were about to climb onto the golden-eyed four-winged flying lion turned around and looked after hearing this.

I saw a female cultivator in purple clothes, with a beautiful appearance, walking towards me quickly with a smile on her face.

"Is there anything wrong, fairy?" someone asked.

The purple-robed female cultivator came closer and asked politely, "Could you please give me a ride? I'm willing to pay a hundred spirit stones."

Several monks were unmoved, and the leader said ruthlessly: "Sorry, fairy, please find someone else."

One hundred spirit stones? That's not enough for anything!

The destination they were heading to was the city adjacent to the holy city, which was located on the mountain.

As we all know, the prices in the Holy City are ridiculously high. As one of its subsidiary cities, the prices are not as high, but they are not low either.

Not to mention anything else, the entrance fee to the city is two hundred spirit stones!

She gave a hundred spirit stones to send away a beggar? She looked like a respectable female cultivator, but she was so stingy!
"One thousand spirit stones, and I'll take you there." There was a bold and uninhibited female cultivator in the team. She was dressed in rough clothes, wearing an inner garment and a robe together, a thunder leopard waistcoat around her waist, and a circle of colorful bracelets around her wrists.

Shao Yin stared at her for two seconds with a subtle expression.

Those who didn't know would think that her bracelet was made of some beautiful rope. But after flipping through the "Monster Records", Shao Yin could tell at a glance that it was not a rope, but the evil root of some monster.

Such a beautiful evil root, with powerful aphrodisiac effects, was hunted to almost extinction, and only escaped to the depths of the Forbidden Forest to avoid the fate of being wiped out.

This female cultivator actually uses this thing as a bracelet. She is such a ruthless person.

He immediately asked for a thousand spirit stones from her, which was even more cruel.

"Sister." She immediately put on a pitiful expression, "I don't have that many spirit stones."

No one who is out there is a soft-hearted goody-goody. The female cultivator saw that she was pretty, so she smiled frivolously, walked over with a twist of her waist, and put her arms around her neck: "It's okay if you have a magic weapon. We'll take them all."

She dared to enter the Forbidden Sun Forest alone. This little girl is only in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Who would believe that she has no magic weapon?

It was for this reason that the female cultivator ignored the captain's opinion and wanted to kill her.

The captain is an honest man, but the female cultivator is not. Now it is getting more and more dangerous outside. As early as a year ago, Fengxi City was destroyed in a breath. Now there are disasters everywhere, either monsters are going crazy or demon cultivators are harming people.

They have been together for many years and have a life-and-death friendship. But unfortunately, not everyone is a natural talent, and their cultivation has reached a limit. It is better to get more magic weapons to rely on.

"Sister, can I pay you 500 spirit stones?" The little girl said pitifully, "I do have one or two magic weapons, but I need to rely on myself. Sister, you have many people, but I am alone."

"Please be kind, sister," she begged.

Female cultivator: “…”

Damn the monster, how could this little girl be so pretty? The female cultivator felt a lump in her chest, took a deep breath, and said viciously, "Eight hundred spirit stones! No less!"

The girl pouted, tears welling up in her eyes, and pitifully untied her storage bag: "Sister, can I pay you 600? I really don't have a lot of spirit stones, can I treat you to the fruits I picked on the road?"

Good luck!
Thinking back to the past, Shao Yin was also a person who spent five million spirit stones in one go. Now that she is so poor, she is too ashamed to see anyone.

If she wasn't really tired and didn't want to fly over there, she wouldn't have been willing to spend even a single spirit stone.

Pulling out a handful of green and red fruits, she looked at the female cultivator eagerly: "Sister, I know you are a good person, so please take me for a while. If it really doesn't work, you can take me for a price, and then throw me down when there is still some distance left. Is that okay?"

Female cultivator: “…”

If she hadn't told her, she wouldn't have thought she could do this.

Is this little girl honest or immoral?
"Okay." The captain said, "Come up."

Shao Yin immediately looked over with gratitude: "Thank you, big brother!"

A male cultivator who is over 300 years old, with a weathered face and untidy beard: "..."

"Puchi!" The others held the flying lion's mane and couldn't help laughing.

The captain glared at him and said, "Shut up!"

Looking at Shao Yin again, he gestured with his chin: "Hurry up. We have to get there before dark."

"Okay." Shao Yin packed up her things, immediately climbed up by the flying lion, and sat obediently on the flying lion's broad back.

After all the members sat down, the captain touched the stubble on his face, muttered something, and sat down.

"Get up!" he shouted.

The flying lion was his contracted beast. At his command, it immediately spread its four thick giant wings, stirred up a gust of wind, and quickly rushed into the sky.

It would take two days for a foundation-building cultivator to fly from here to Yishan City using his sword.

But the speed of flying monsters only takes half a day. This is why Shao Yin, who is obviously poor, wants to get some fur from others.

"Little girl, why are you wandering around the Forbidden Sun Forest alone?" The generous female cultivator chatted with her on the way.

Shao Yin said obediently: "I am not alone. I have a companion, but most of the time, people can't see him."

The generous female cultivator was startled.

At this time, the little girl patted the storage bag around her waist.

What could be in the storage bag? It couldn't be a person? Could it be the ashes of her elders?
Thinking of this, the female cultivator suddenly felt sorry for him. It was pitiful enough that the little girl had lost her elders, but she still asked for six hundred spirit stones.

Six hundred spirit stones are nothing in Yishan City, but the prices in Yishan City cannot be used as a reference. Six hundred spirit stones are still very durable in other cities!
Let's not talk about anything else, just say that the outside world is in chaos now. Because the city is relatively safe because of the presence of great monks and the construction of a powerful defense array, they raised the price on the spot and doubled the entrance fee. But doubled, it was only twenty spirit stones.

"My condolences." The female cultivator said this in a stiff voice, then closed her eyes and started meditating.

It was impossible to return it. She was a female cultivator with a heart of stone!

She didn't say anything, and the others weren't talkative either, so the flying lion's back became quiet.

Shao Yin looked at the floating clouds passing by and sighed silently.

In the past year, she had obtained a lot of spirit stones while traveling through the Forbidden Sun Forest.

She is beautiful and has a lovely personality. Many monks like her and play hide-and-seek with her. She hides and they chase her. When they catch up with her, they will praise her and give her gifts, including but not limited to storage bags and human heads.

Although independent cultivators are generally poor, they are numerous! The two things that the Forbidden Sun Forest lacks the most are monster beasts and cultivators.

Every now and then someone would play hide-and-seek with her, and Shao Yin would gain a lot of things. The discarded storage bags could be piled up into a small mountain.

But, how can I put it.

Just like a white-collar worker in a big city who earns 10,000 yuan a month, he has to pay 2,000 to 3,000 yuan for rent, and another 3,000 to 4,000 yuan for water, electricity, internet, transportation, daily necessities, meals, etc. Socializing costs thousands of yuan. Don't you buy clothes and shoes?

Don't you get sick? Cold, fever, diarrhea, seasonal rhinitis, conjunctivitis, anti-allergy medicine...

Anyway, it looks good, but in reality, there is not much left after a year.

This is her situation now.

If she hadn't found an opportunity to set up a stall in the black market and sell some unused magic weapons, she would have had no spirit stones left in her pocket.

"Why?" She thought sadly, "There is one less person, why are they spending more and more?"

It’s obvious that when Lao Jin was still around, there was almost no shortage of spirit stones!

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at Yishan City.

This is a seemingly ordinary city, but standing at the gate of the mountain city, you can see the white building hanging high in the sky in the distance.

That is the holy city.

"Little girl." The captain who was holding the flying lion turned around and said to her, "Don't trust others easily. Especially, don't reveal your own affairs."

Click till.

After saying that, he led the flying lion and the team members into the city.

This little girl is not very scheming. When someone asked her if she was alone, she told the truth. If she met someone with evil intentions, wouldn't she have evil intentions?
"Thank you, big brother and big sister." Shao Yin stood at the back and said obediently, "Goodbye, brother and sister."

It's a good team.

She has used this trick many times, and people like them are a minority.

Most of the time when I meet her, I want to play hide-and-seek with her, you hide and I find, you run and I chase.

"Two hundred and fifty spirit stones." The guard stretched out his hand lazily as he entered the city.

Shao Yin clearly saw the man in front of her take two hundred spirit stones.

Why is there fifty more dollars when it comes to her?
The monk who had just passed by looked over in surprise, with a hint of sympathy and even gloating in his eyes.

"How dare you!" Shao Yin put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows and shouted, "You bastard, do you know who I am? How dare you blackmail me for spiritual stones?"

The guard said disdainfully: "Who are you? Give it to me!"

Most of those who collect city fees at the city gate have some connections, which is why they can hold such lucrative positions here - they don't always just charge two hundred spirit stones.

Not many people dare to cause trouble, because there are Nascent Soul cultivators above them.

"Snapped!"

Just as I thought of this, I felt a flash before my eyes, and then I felt a slap in the face.

The guard was thrown straight onto the city wall.

Although the injury was not serious, his face was burning and he lost all dignity: "You, you are so bold!"

Soon, the other guards arrived.

Shao Yin's eyes rolled, and he immediately shouted, "Daoists! No one is guarding the city gate! Charge quickly! No spirit stones required! Just consider it as me treating you all to a cup of tea!"

"Hurry, hurry! Opportunities are rare and will never come back. Fellow Taoists, hurry up!"

"I'll lead them away!"

Having said that, he ran away.

Good guy.

It would have been better if she didn't shout, because several guards guarding the city gate came over to catch her.

But as soon as she shouted, the monks who were queuing at the door to pay the entrance fee moved in unison.

Nowadays, those who were slow to react would have died long ago. They were either killed by monsters or monks, or they were struck to ashes by the thunderbolts that fell from the sky.

Hearing that they could save 200 spirit stones, they rushed to the city gate immediately. Who really had so many spirit stones that they couldn't spend them all that they had to pay the entrance fee?
The guards were startled, their faces changed, and they hurried to stop them.

The monks didn't really have to avoid the entrance fee, so when they were stopped, they stopped and sighed, realizing that they couldn't save the spirit stones.

They could certainly defeat the guards, but there were heavy formations at the city gate and records on the photo stones, so it would not be worth it to make a big fuss.

"Give, give."

"Isn't it just two hundred spirit stones?"

The monks lined up again. But when the guards went to look for her, they found that the purple-robed female monk had disappeared.

“……”Not far away, in the city.

"Are we still worried about her?" The generous female cultivator lifted the Thunder Leopard vest around her waist and snorted, "Little clever ghost."

The group entered the city ahead of Shao Yin. Because they had not walked far, they heard that she was being harassed by the guards. The captain was worried that she would cause trouble. Until he saw her slap the man and send him flying, and then she stood with her hands on her hips and shouted.

"We came in too early." A team member pounded his hands regretfully.

If they were behind her, they would have saved a thousand spirit stones - they saw clearly that several cultivators acted quickly and avoided the entrance fee!

"What are you talking about?" The captain glared at everyone and said, "Let's go."

The others withdrew their gaze and headed into the city.
