After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

"Unbelievable! A certain prodigy was actually defeated by a rogue cultivator, and even couldn't have the one he loved!"

"Shocking! That rogue cultivator is actually the young lady of a reclusive family!"

Such rumors were spreading like wildfire among independent cultivators and outer disciples. Some even posted them on a public square, adding the topic of the Immortal Sect Competition.

Now the post has gone viral, and the rumors have spread even further.

The person in question was completely unaware. She rarely checked her communication jade discs, and after flying off on her sword, she went straight to the nearest merchant guild to sell monster corpses, leaving her even less time to check the jade discs.

At this moment, they were in the backyard of the Chamber of Commerce, where the area in front of them was piled high with the carcasses of crocodiles...

The two interpreters in charge of receiving guests looked at each other and said with forced smiles, "Fairy, please wait a moment. I will ask the manager to send more people over to count them."

"Oh, we do need to send more people. I haven't finished dumping them yet! I've already dug out all their beast cores. You don't need to process the beast cores, so it should be easy to count them."

"..." The two interpreters' lips twitched, and their smiles were about to crumble.

Good heavens! This has wiped out the entire Abyssal Crocodile race!

The place where the Abyss Crocodile appears most often is the Black Swamp. How fierce is this fairy? She was able to wipe out the entire clan of the overlord of the Black Swamp!

So cruel!

Before long, the steward brought in two rows of people, some of whom were carrying fruit platters. He was shocked to see the mountain of monster corpses piled up in the courtyard.

He had worked in the Chamber of Commerce for a hundred years and had seen many people come to sell monsters, but he had never seen so many sold at once, and the lowest-ranking ones were all fourth-tier monsters!
Fortunately, he was old and had seen a lot, so he remained calm. He respectfully asked someone to set out a fruit platter, and then flashed his signature smile: "Please wait a moment, fairy, we will check it for you right away."

"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

Two rows of people went up with tools and skillfully dragged out the corpse to dismember it!
The skeleton, meat, tendons, crocodile skin, and internal organs are completely separated. These parts will be offered at a reasonable purchase price based on their intended use and grade.

In less than two hours, interpreters kept coming and going. The carcass of the abyss crocodile was dismembered and processed, and the total price was calculated: 189,000 high-grade spirit stones.

"Wait!" Lin Yan called out to the steward.

The manager assumed she was dissatisfied with the price and quickly explained, "The purchase price of monsters has been low recently, so the price we're offering is a bit higher than other small merchants' guilds, which is quite reasonable."

“I didn’t say the price was unreasonable. I also have some monster corpses.”

After speaking, she took out her storage bag and moved the carcasses of the rainbow spiders out. This time, the number wasn't as large as the carcasses of the abyssal crocodiles, so it wasn't as shocking.

"This... there shouldn't be any more, right?" The steward asked after a long moment of shock.

"Yes, there are also some miscellaneous monster corpses, but I'm too lazy to categorize them."

She took out the bottle containing the monster's corpse and poured it to the other side.

She didn't kill these corpses herself; they were found in the storage bag of the cultivator who used blood bats for cultivation, and she took them out to sell as well.

The steward, watching the corpses of demonic beasts being poured from the bottle, had lost his initial shock. The corpses, however, varied in rank, ranging from first to fourth grade.

"There shouldn't be any more, right?" the manager asked cautiously.

"Oh, the monster corpse is gone, but there are some spiritual plants and miscellaneous items." She then took out her storage bag and poured it out onto the clean open ground.

A huge pile of sand and grass, a small pile of colored crystals, and a severely damaged magical artifact!

After pouring it all out, she sat back down and said, "That's all!"

The manager composed herself and urged the clerks to expedite the process. This was the biggest deal of the day, and most of the guild's manpower had been deployed here. The final settlement price was 239,000 high-grade spirit stones. She continued to politely decline the guild's suggestion to obtain a spirit stone token, opting instead for direct settlement in spirit stones.

Having obtained the spirit stones, she then asked which way to the Chamber of Commerce's office.

The manager was very enthusiastic in giving her directions and casually asked her what business she needed to handle.

"Nothing special, just going to collect the compensation from the Sun City Auction House."

Upon hearing this, the manager immediately offered to lead the way for her and also praised the Chamber of Commerce, hoping that she would continue to choose their Chamber of Commerce when selling monsters in the future.

The compensation from the auction house went smoothly; once He Shi's identity was confirmed, the spirit stones were given immediately without any delay. However, the sale of the demon beast corpses caused considerable delays.

Seeing that it was getting late, she explained the situation to her master and returned to Xuantian Sect early the next morning.

As soon as she arrived at the mountain gate, she saw her master's mechanical bird waiting nearby. Just as she was about to walk over, she overheard people discussing the emergence of an unparalleled genius among the rogue cultivators.

The person talking didn't reveal their name and spoke in a ridiculous and mysterious way. She didn't think they were talking about her, so she didn't stop to listen to the gossip. Instead, she went straight to the bird.

She had a bell given to her by her master. When she sat on it, she could activate the bell with her spiritual power, and a bird would take flight and carry her to her master.

Miaofa Sect is one of the ten major sects, so the accommodations arranged for them were naturally quite good, located on Yingke Peak.

Speaking of which, Welcoming Peak is right next to Asking Heart Peak, so wouldn't it be very convenient for Old Deng to come and cause trouble?
It wasn't that she was judging others by her own petty standards. Wasn't it because of Tao Zhizhi's words that Old Deng tried to ambush her halfway? If it weren't for her master's unwavering stance, she, a mere Golden Core cultivator, wouldn't have been able to defeat Old Deng and would have definitely been crippled by him.

As soon as they disembarked from the bird, they saw Venerable Miaoyin returning with a treasure gourd.

Before she could even speak, the Venerable One appeared before her in an instant. "Oh dear, little girl, it's been a long time! You've gotten thinner."

"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Lin Yan obediently bowed.

"Young lady, it's been so long, and you're so distant with me. Sigh~ I'm really heartbroken. By the way, have you really not considered me being your second master? I'm not like old Deng next door; I won't mistake a fish eye for a pearl..."

At that moment, a clear, cold voice interrupted the conversation.

"Miaoyin, don't even think about making a move on my disciple!"

Upon seeing her master approach, Lin Yan quickly bowed and said, "Disciple greets Master!"

Seeing that her disciple was well and had even improved his cultivation, Wen Ningqing nodded in satisfaction. "I will take you to see the courtyard."

"Yes, Master." Lin Yan followed obediently behind her master.

Miaoyin followed up and asked, "Girl, there's a rumor that a peerless genius has emerged from the rogue cultivators. Could it be you?"

"It shouldn't be," she replied awkwardly.

After registering for the Immortal Sect Competition, she went straight to the Chamber of Commerce and didn't show up in public much, nor did she spar with anyone. How could it be that they were talking about her!

There must be some powerful independent cultivator who has been sparring with others and has won all the way, which is why this rumor has spread!

“I don’t think so either. There are also rumors that you defeated so-and-so, and that person hated you because of love for the girl.”

"..."

"The rumors circulating in Jade Disc Square are quite detailed and convincing." (End of Chapter)
