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

Chapter 89: How can they sell something so expensive when they can't do anything?

Mu Feng's eyes widened, wanting to argue with the stall owner, but Lin Yan stopped him.

"Give me twelve."

After quickly paying the spirit stones and putting away the pills, the two left the area where pills were sold and went to explore other places.

Mu Feng thought that the bone-soothing pills, which cost ten high-grade spirit stones each, were too expensive, so he said, "Why did you buy them? What if the vendor cheated us?"

"probably not."

"Does Fellow Daoist Lin know anything?"

Lin Yan said calmly, "I don't know, but I saw some news at Jade Disc Square before, saying that Sand City is in chaos."

"Oh, I didn't know that."

As the two walked and talked, Mu Feng was drawn to a stall selling wooden hairpins.

His gaze lingered on a beautifully carved wooden hairpin, its shaft adorned with a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water. Mu Feng picked up the hairpin, and as he examined it, his cheeks flushed as if he were thinking of something.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Yan asked curiously, "You want to buy this hairpin?"

Mu Feng smiled shyly, "A-Yang likes wooden hairpins."

Lin Yan suddenly realized, "So you wanted to buy it for your Daoist partner? Then what are you hesitating for? Buy it!"

She asked the stall owner directly, "How much is this hairpin?"

"A high-grade spirit stone."

Upon hearing the price, Mu Feng immediately put the hairpin down!
A wooden hairpin costs one high-grade spirit stone? What function does it have? Why wasn't he notified about the price increase in Sun City?
Upon seeing this, the stall owner said, "This is no ordinary hairpin."

"Oh? This hairpin can withstand attacks and be used as a defensive magic weapon?"

The stall owner shook his head. "No."

"That can be used as an offensive magic weapon?"

"also can not!"

They can't do anything right and yet they dare to sell it for such a high price! Many first-grade magic treasures with even a little defensive function can't even sell for a single high-grade spirit stone!
"What's so special about it?" Mu Feng asked, puzzled.

"Do you see the pattern carved on it? That's a pair of mandarin ducks. Giving it to your Daoist partner will ensure that your partner is devoted to you."

"..."

Mu Feng felt that the stall owner was trying to fool him!

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Buy it. I'll pay for the spirit stones. Consider it a wedding gift for you and Qi Yang."

Mu Feng quickly waved his hand: "How can this be? Besides, this hairpin isn't even worth a high-grade spirit stone."

Lin Yan could sense the surge of spiritual energy emanating from the wooden hairpin, which suggested that some kind of talisman was engraved on it, giving it defensive capabilities. However, the stall owner was unaware of this and sold it as an ordinary hairpin.

Seeing that Fellow Daoist Lin was about to take out spirit stones, he hurriedly asked the stall owner, "Really, you can't lower the price?"

The stall owner shook his head, sighed, and explained, "I'm selling this hairpin for someone else. That person said it's only worth one high-grade spirit stone, no bargaining."

At first, the stall owner also wondered if there was anything special about the wooden hairpin, as it looked like an ordinary wooden hairpin. But since he was going to set up a stall at the black market anyway, and the man had done him a favor, he didn't say much and just placed it in an inconspicuous spot on his stall to try selling it.

To everyone's surprise, a cultivator actually came over and took a liking to the wooden hairpin at first glance.

Lin Yan placed the spirit stones on the stall, took the hairpin, and stuffed it into Mu Feng's hand. "Here, take this! This is my gift to you two as a token of your union."

After saying that, she continued walking forward. At this moment, a person wearing a black cloak blocked her way and said in a low voice, "Fairy, my master invites you."

The cultivators who usually enter the black market are quite law-abiding and don't cause trouble here. Therefore, the black market is very safe, so she didn't expect someone to dare to block her way.

If I say I don't want to see them, is this person planning to force me?

"I won't see you." She refused outright. At the same time, she was also thinking about what other people she had offended besides the Peach Blossom Sect since she came to Sun City.

"That's not up to you!"

Lin Yan then noticed that there were quite a few cultivators in the crowd wearing black cloaks. This attire was very common in the black market; in fact, no matter what a cultivator dressed, no one else would find it strange.

She couldn't tell how many of these monks in black cloaks were there to "invite" her.

She asked in a low, displeased voice, "Who is your master? Do I know him? Instead of coming to see me yourself, you send your subordinates to invite me. Isn't that inappropriate?"

"No comment! I'm only responsible for taking you to see the master."

Tsk, this person is quite arrogant! She only showed her Foundation Establishment cultivation level, while the other party was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. She felt she had the upper hand, so she was being tough.

Seeing Mu Feng stride up, she curled her thin lips into a smile and pretended to be pushed down by the black-cloaked cultivator, falling backward to the ground.

"Ah!!" Lin Yan screamed, her voice sounding like a terrified scream from someone who had been pushed over.

Mu Feng ran up and shouted, "Who dares to cause trouble in the black market?"

The surrounding cultivators were drawn by the commotion and stopped to watch, while others gathered around. Seeing the situation was turning against him, the black-cloaked cultivator quickly concealed himself and fled.

There were quite a few cultivators in the black market at this time. After the black-cloaked cultivator concealed himself, he quickly withdrew during the brief moment when the crowd gathered and the scene became somewhat chaotic.

She got up on her own without anyone helping her.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, are you alright?" Mu Feng stepped forward, his tone somewhat anxious.

"It's nothing, it's just a fall, nothing serious. I'm not some delicate cultivator, a fall won't cause serious injury."

"I just heard you scream in pain, and I thought you were being attacked. It scared me to death."

At this moment, a masked male cultivator approached and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Fairy. I didn't expect someone to dare cause chaos in the black market. We will investigate as soon as possible and permanently disqualify this person from entering the black market."

The cultivators who entered didn't cause trouble because causing trouble in the black market would result in their permanent disqualification from entering.

Mu Feng said with dissatisfaction, "My friend got into trouble in the black market's territory, and the black market just brushed us off with a few words?"

"I'm so sorry! How about this, we'll refund half of all your expenses here today. What do you two think?"

Mu Feng felt the compensation was acceptable, and the other party's attitude was also alright, so he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he looked at Lin Yan, seemingly waiting for her decision.

"I have no objection." Her expression was indifferent. She seemed unfazed by anything, inexplicably evoking images of composure and serene elegance…

The manager handed the two tokens and told them that if they returned the tokens to the main building before leaving the black market, they would get half of their spending for the day back.

After speaking, he left.

She wondered which forces she had offended that dared to intercept her on the black market. Could it be that organization that sold hallucinogenic flower seeds?
That's not quite right either. That organization relies on selling hallucinogenic flower seeds to rob and plunder other cultivators; their strength is far from enough to dare to operate on the black market. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to use hallucinogenic flowers to bewitch cultivators before daring to make a move.

Moreover, if that organization is powerful, after suffering losses once or twice, it should send even stronger assassins to ambush them.
