The bald, thuggish man was a Core Formation stage cultivator, and the crowd quickly dwindled by half.

They're all small fry in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages; aren't they just asking for death by watching the Core Formation cultivators riot?

"Hmph, if you keep bothering me, I'll crush you once we're out of Tianxing City!"

Because of the strict rule against violence in the market, the bald thug could only threaten with force and words.

If a low-level cultivator were threatened like this, they would surely be intimidated and back down.

But the man in the old clothes still stepped forward and grabbed the bald, thug whose cultivation was superior to his.

"No! That Xuan Shui Pearl is a family heirloom of my wife. If I didn't desperately need spirit stones, I would never have taken it out to exchange for it."

"You promised three hundred spirit stones, not a single one less!"

The stall owner said loudly.

"Hey, didn't I give you an equivalent spiritual herb in exchange?"

I just asked you at the stall how much this spirit herb was worth, and you said it was worth three hundred spirit stones. Why are you going back on your word now?

"Let me tell you, this transaction complies with the rules of the marketplace. Even if the Star Palace steward were here, he wouldn't find a single fault with it."

The bald, thuggish man shoved the stall owner aside and said disdainfully.

"But... your Frostbite Grass is valued at three hundred spirit stones, but it's rare and not many people want to buy it. If I want to sell it again... I'll have to lower the price!"

The stall owner looked grim; he knew the other party had exploited a loophole in the market rules.

The bald, thuggish man initially came to the stall with a deliberately low cultivation level, striking up a conversation with him while displaying his mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation, and then took out some spiritual herbs to ask for their price.

After chatting for a while, the bald, thuggish man said he wanted to trade his Xuan Shui Pearl.

In a moment of carelessness, he first handed the Xuan Shui Pearl to the bald, thuggish man. However, the bald, thuggish man instead gave him the spirit herb in place of the spirit stone.

"That's your own problem. Who told you not to make things clear when you made the deal?"

The bald, thuggish man revealed a smug smile, as if his evil scheme had succeeded.

He finally made use of that useless spiritual herb.

"I……"

The stall owner slumped to the ground in remorse.

Just then, a voice entered his ears.

"Hey, are you one of those people who've had their fortunes change for thirty years?"

Qingfeng watched from the outside for a while and realized that it was Xiao Luo, the honest man from eight years ago.

Xiao Luo raised his head upon hearing the sound, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

He carefully examined the man and woman before him. The man had two comical mustaches, and the woman with purple eyes beside him, though veiled, could not hide her unparalleled beauty.

Such a person, if seen, would surely be unforgettable, yet he had no recollection of him at all.

"Senior, do you recognize me?"

Xiao Luo hesitated before speaking.

Seeing the other person's puzzled expression, Qingfeng suddenly remembered that eight years ago, at the Starry Sky Palace, he wore a mask to conceal his appearance, no wonder Xiao Luo couldn't recognize him.

"Oh...maybe I mistook you for someone else."

Qingfeng didn't say anything more, but turned around and walked up to the bald thug, patting him on the shoulder in a casual manner.

"My name is Li Feiyu. May I ask your name, fellow traveler?"

The bald, thug was startled when a man affectionately patted him on the shoulder, and then quickly took a step back.

The opponent is at the mid-stage of Core Formation!

"Does this fellow Daoist know him? Should we stand up for him?"

"I asked the bald, thuggish man."

"No, no, I'm not familiar with him. I just thought you had a very muscular build and wanted to get to know you."

Qingfeng squinted and said with a smile.

Combined with his fake beard, he looked somewhat gay.

"Hmph, since I'm not standing up for him, there's no need to get acquainted. Farewell."

The bald, thuggish man felt uneasy under their gaze, so he cupped his hands in greeting and quickly transformed into a streak of light, leaving the market.

Watching the bald, thuggish man leave, Xiao Luo sat blankly in front of the stall, muttering something to himself.

"You really need spirit stones?"

Qingfeng walked up to him, bowed his head, and asked.

"Senior... my wife was poisoned while hunting demonic beasts, and I need spirit stones to buy antidote pills, but now..."

Xiao Luo looked at the useless spirit herb in his hand; everything was over.

"Frosty Grass, a spiritual plant that grows in places with abundant Yin energy."

This Cold-Heart Grass appears to be over two hundred years old, making it suitable for the young master's weeping soul to consume.

Wang Ning then stepped forward and looked at Qing Feng, saying...

"Well, young friend, why don't you sell me this spiritual herb?"

As Qingfeng spoke, he handed Xiao Luo a bag of spirit stones.

"What! Senior, what is this?"

Xiao Luo stared blankly at the spirit stone bag in his hand; it was heavy and contained far more than three hundred stones.

"Senior, this...this is too much...The Frostbite Grass isn't worth this price at all..."

Xiao Luo wanted to decline.

"Take it. I like your appearance. Besides, this Frostbite Grass is of good quality; it'll be useful for my little pet, so it's not a bad deal."

Qingfeng waved his hand and said casually.

For the sake of his Daoist partner, he dared to face the threat of a Core Formation cultivator. Based on this affection alone, Qingfeng was willing to help him again.

Xiao Luo gripped the spirit stone bag tightly, his fingertips turning white from the force.

With these spirit stones, he could not only buy the best antidote pills, but perhaps even have some left over to buy some medicinal herbs to help him recover.

His wife's life was saved!

"Alright, hurry up and go save your wife."

Qingfeng smiled indifferently and turned to leave with Wang Ning.

"Wait a moment, senior!"

At this moment, Xiao Luo suddenly called out to him.

After a slight hesitation, he took out a necklace from the storage bag close to his body.

"This item, although it is just an ordinary necklace, was passed down in my family."

Please accept this, senior. I will repay you with all my might when I achieve something in the future.

Xiao Luo presented the necklace with both hands.

Seeing how serious he was, Qingfeng took the necklace from him.

But as soon as he got his hands on it, he noticed a problem.

A sweep of divine sense over the necklace revealed a hidden secret in two of the beads!

"Is this the bead that records the location of the Xuan Gu Relics... that deserted island?"

Qingfeng was startled.

"Your surname is Xiao, and this is a necklace passed down in your family. Did any of your ancestors produce a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Qingfeng looked at Xiao Luo and asked.

"Ah? A Nascent Soul cultivator? Senior, you must be joking. In the past hundred years, my family has only produced one cultivator at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

Xiao Luo was startled by Qing Feng's words.

"What about your family a hundred years ago? Did your family have any cultivators a few hundred years ago?"

Qingfeng asked again.

"Well, I don't know about that. My Xiao family started to decline before I was even born."

Moreover, more than a hundred years ago, the family suffered a misfortune, and many records were lost.

I was born into a branch of the Xiao family, a collateral branch, so I knew even less about what happened hundreds of years ago.

"Does senior perhaps know of the Xiao family's past history?"

After Xiao Luo explained, he asked somewhat excitedly.

"It's nothing, maybe I mistook you for someone else."

Go quickly and heal your partner's injuries. I'll keep this necklace for now.

Take this jade token to Qingyang Dan Pavilion and ask the manager to buy antidote pills. You can save some spirit stones.

And he's probably short-staffed; you could go ask him and find a stable job.

Qingfeng then handed Xiao Luo a jade token, helping him find work.

After all, the Xuan Gu Shangren "Xiao Cha" might be Xiao Luo's ancestor.

Now that he knows the location of someone else's ancestral graves, and he's even going to lead people to dig them up, it's a bit unreasonable not to offer some compensation.
