Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 555 The Path of Steadfastness!
Yup!

This is the Supreme Dao Sect, a place full of scoundrels.

The materials he sells are for refining techniques used in the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages. Cultivators at this level can be considered the backbone of the "steady and reliable" lineage of the Supreme Daoist Sect.

How could those cunning old bastards possibly come to such an obvious place with so many people to buy such crucial refining materials!
What if someone discovers my true identity and discovers the flaws in my supernatural abilities?
So of course, the more hidden the better!
She was saying that when they were choosing locations, how come there were still so many stalls in prime locations left...

"It's also my fault, I should have mentioned it to you first," Zhao Ruohan said.

Seeing a stall in a 'prime location', Chi Jiuyu was afraid it would be snatched away, so she chose it before she even arrived.

Hearing her say that, Chi Jiuyu scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Can we change to another one now?"

“I can’t change it. I can only choose again tomorrow.” Zhao Ruohan picked up her phone again. “But there’s no rush. Someone should come to ask me later.”

"Alright then." Chi Jiuyu had no choice but to pick up her phone again. "I'll continue browsing the Spirit Network for a while."

With a swipe on the screen, the original casual forum interface was replaced by a rune and densely packed small text annotations.

The Annotated Edition of "Yanxu Chandao Fushu" by Hong Qianqian.

Whenever she has time, she takes it out to look at it.

"Yeah, I'll browse for a bit too."

After swiping across the screen, the interface also changed to densely packed small text.

The content, in particular, is the supernatural power she has recently mastered, along with some experiences summarized by her predecessors.

Zhao Ruohan was actually a little guilty about secretly rolling the money.

At the same time, there was also a tiny bit of guilt.

She sparred with Chi Jiuyu again these past two days, but after less than ten moves, she gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Compared to their previous encounter before the Immortal Sect Grand Competition, Chi Jiuyu had actually improved again.

This made her feel a little urgency.

As the daughter of a true immortal, she was born with innate supernatural powers and has never slacked off in her cultivation.

As a result, Chi Jiuyu, who spent all his time eating, drinking and having fun, actually made progress faster than her!
If the last encounter made Zhao Ruohan realize that she still needed to work harder, then this encounter made her feel defeated for the first time.

Frustration in terms of talent.

So, from then on, she secretly started rolling it up.

Although this seems somewhat despicable...

However, since his talent was not as good as Chi Jiuyu's, he could only make up for it through hard work.

And so, the two of them secretly began to scheme together.

One was carefree and used to it, while the other had just started doing it and still felt a little guilty.

In order to keep it a secret from each other, they would chat for a few minutes from time to time.

Time passed by little by little, and soon it was evening.

As the sun sets, the golden sunlight, refracted by various mystical lights, transforms into streaks of rainbow light that fill the sky, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

There were far fewer people in the trading area.

Many stalls selling miscellaneous items and religious artifacts have packed up and left.

Only a few shops in remote corners sell crafting materials, rare elixirs, and special items obtained during adventures in dangerous places.

The goods may be genuine or counterfeit; whether you can buy genuine products depends entirely on your own judgment.

"Hmm~!"

Chi Jiuyu covered the stall with his phone screen and stretched.

After looking around for a while and finding that there was still no one around, I prepared to pick up my phone and continue looking.

Let's wait until it gets dark.

I'll pack up when it gets dark and there's no one around, and come back when I find a suitable secluded spot later.

But just then, a black shadow the size of a bean appeared out of nowhere and jumped directly onto the stall.

But it was seen that it had hands and feet, was dressed in a set of black armor, carried weapons, and was yellow all over, as if it were carved from corn kernels.

Chi Jiuyu noticed it instantly.

However... is this the incarnation method of the Supreme Dao Sect?

Is it like turning beans into soldiers?
Do I really have to go through all this trouble just to buy some crafting materials?

Despite his inner grumbling, Chi Jiuyu was still invigorated.

What would you like to order?

"I want this, this, and this. Can you give me a discount if I buy all three together?"

He pointed to the three jade boxes on the stall, his tone somewhat hurried.

It's as if we're facing a huge risk.

“No, this is already a discounted price,” Zhao Ruohan replied from the side.

Chi Jiuyu paused for a moment, then nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right! Honest and fair to all, young and old!"

"..." He was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "Fine! Wrap it up for me!"

He is currently refining a divine power that urgently needs high-quality refining materials.

High-quality refining materials are extremely rare...

A swordsman like Chi Jiuyu, who is famous, has amazing supernatural abilities, and is also very concerned about his reputation, shouldn't be selling inferior products!

That is why he risked everything to set up several formations that isolated cause and effect from the calculation of heavenly secrets, and sent his puppet-controlled secondary puppet to a place with so many people to buy materials for refining magic.

"Alright! I'll install it for you right away!" Chi Jiuyu said with a beaming smile.

After sitting here all day, we've finally opened for business.

He pulled a black bag from the side of the table and put the three jade boxes he had chosen into it.

"Look, it's all installed!"

Then the puppet avatar removed the black ring from its head, shook it with both hands, and a jade card inlaid with several crystals and printed with a yin-yang fish pattern appeared on the stall.

Furthermore, he put away the black bag containing the three jade boxes.

"Swipe your card!"

Chi Jiuyu took the card and then took out a blank jade card with a yin-yang symbol printed on it.

He gently swiped the jade card inlaid with crystals.

The four shimmering crystals vanished in an instant.

Instead, Chi Jiuyu's blank card now has four more crystals.

The new payment method from the Supreme Daoist Sect is quite interesting!

Unfortunately, it only supports small payments; for large amounts, you still have to use the old method.

After returning the jade card to the puppet avatar, before he could say anything, the puppet avatar jumped off the stall and disappeared in a flash.

He has taken such a big risk this time, he needs to get back as soon as possible.

If someone recognizes you and analyzes the materials you sell to discover your supernatural abilities, and then deduces your identity, that would be very dangerous!

All the cultivation level that you painstakingly concealed and the persona you painstakingly built will vanish in an instant.

The thought of such an outcome sent chills down his spine!

"..."

The sixth generation of the Supreme Daoist Sect are truly bizarre.

Just as I was mentally complaining, another paper figure floated over and landed on the stall.

"This! This plus this."

Perhaps having observed it beforehand, this paper figure didn't even haggle over the price.

After saying that, he tapped the rune on his body, took out a crystal card that was just enough to pay for the money, threw it down, and then put away the three jade boxes and immolated himself.

As for why they didn't conceal their identities and steal a few...

That would incur karmic consequences!
Fair trade, once placed, there's no turning back.

Only in this way can one avoid being entangled in cause and effect; this is truly the great path of 'steadiness'.

Chi Jiuyu: "..."
