"What?"

Chu Xuan turned around so casually, but it startled the two people in the distance.

Because Chu Xuan's dodging was so casual, the two of them even had the same thought in their minds—this guy is really lucky!

Indeed, the two subconsciously believed that Chu Xuan's evasion was not due to his own ability, but rather to luck.

How could someone who comes to the market to buy Innate Pills possibly escape an assassination attempt by a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator?

Are you kidding me!

Realizing they had been exposed, the two stopped trying to hide and walked straight out. The old man sneered, "What a lucky fellow!"

"Kid, be smart and hand over all your storage bags, or I'll give you a quick death."

Chu Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he chuckled, "What are you saying, shopkeeper? You're going to die anyway, so why hand over the storage bag?"

"You've got some nerve, kid!"

The old man sneered, but despite his words, Chu Xuan accurately caught the surprise and uncertainty in the old man's eyes.

The old man turned to the young man beside him and said, "Now that we've been discovered, this kid is yours to practice on!"

"Just you wait and see!"

Without hesitation, the young man stepped forward and immediately began to form a hand seal, gradually creating a magic mark in his hand.

However, what the young man didn't notice was that the old man behind him had already begun to retreat silently, even holding a talisman in his hand, ready to run away at any moment.

"As expected, experience counts."

The young man was stunned upon hearing this, but did not understand what was going on. While he was thinking, the hand seals in his hands were already formed. As a large amount of magic power gathered, a huge fireball rushed straight towards Chu Xuan.

The moment Chu Xuan finished speaking, the old man behind the youth activated the talisman in his hand without hesitation, and his whole body turned into a blur as he retreated at lightning speed.

Chu Xuan turned his palm, and a huge earth-yellow palm print shot out from the air!

After nearly five years of training, Chu Xuan's Heavenly Gang Palm had long since reached a level of unparalleled skill, and his attacks could be executed in the blink of an eye.

The earthen-yellow palm print struck the fireball, shattering it into pieces. The palm print's speed did not diminish in the slightest, and it struck the shocked young man heavily.

With a loud bang, a cloud of blood mist exploded on the field.

The moment the blood mist exploded, a phantom flashed by, and Chu Xuan himself had already disappeared from the spot. The instant he made his move, Chu Xuan set off to chase after it.

With his second-stage Body Refinement cultivation fully unleashed, Chu Xuan's speed became so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye.

Body-refining cultivators may not be able to fly, but they are incredibly fast runners.

The old man was still congratulating himself on his experience, realizing something was wrong from just one sentence, and decisively fled.

This cultivation world is truly full of deceit and treachery. Why would a high-level cultivator buy innate pills? Isn't this just pure baiting?

Where is even a trace of the demeanor of a master?

Before the thoughts in his mind could settle, the old man felt a blur before his eyes, and then a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

How is that possible?

This was the only thought in the old man's mind at this moment. He was at the sixth level of Qi Refining and had even used a first-grade high-level Divine Speed ​​Talisman. His speed was enough to surpass that of any Qi Refining cultivator.

There are still people stalling for time, how could it be so fast?

Suddenly, a crazy answer popped into the old man's mind: Daoist Platform!

No, why would you, a Daoist master, buy innate pills?

Why didn't you just fly away? You wandered leisurely through the mountains for half an hour just to catch us two small fry.

His mind was racing with thoughts, but the old man could no longer control himself to stop. He was moving at a speed far exceeding his usual pace, and the distance Chu Xuan had left him was too short for him to stop.

Just as they were about to collide, Chu Xuan gave a soft snort, and the still-unformed phantom of the Zhenyuan Cauldron trembled slightly within the Crimson Palace.

A pale yellow light shone from Chu Xuan's body, and an invisible pressure emanated from him. The old man felt his magical power instantly freeze, his knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground.

From extreme motion to extreme stillness, the old man fell heavily to the ground, rolled twice before stopping, looking quite disheveled.

This Zhenyuan Cauldron is quite useful. I thought that since I hadn't completely forged my Dao foundation and hadn't condensed my supernatural powers, this Zhenyuan Cauldron wouldn't have much power.

Surprisingly, the effect wasn't bad. However, this was only because he was getting along well with cultivators of lower levels. It's unknown how effective he would be against cultivators of the same level.

The idea had barely formed when Chu Xuan rejected it. It was enough to get along with lower-level cultivators; facing cultivators of the same level would be troublesome. If the opponent had a few hidden cards up their sleeve, the chances of failure would be quite high, so it was better not to try.

Once cultivators reach the Dao Platform Realm or Foundation Establishment Realm, most will have one or two trump cards up their sleeves. No one knows how strong their opponent's trump cards are, so it's best not to easily start a conflict.

The old man turned over somewhat awkwardly and knelt down on the ground. "This humble old man pays his respects to you, Master Gao. I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. I had a crooked idea to target you, Master Gao. I deserve to die ten thousand times over."

"But this old man shamelessly begs for a way to live. I am a mid-grade first-level alchemist, skilled in refining Qi-Inducing Pills, Purple Essence Pills, Rejuvenating Essence Pills, and Small Town Spirit Pills. I am of some use. I am willing to become a high-level cultivator's pill slave and dedicate my life to refining pills for him!"

"Please, sir, spare this old man's life!"

Chu Xuan lowered his head and sighed, "As expected of an old man who has been in the cultivation world for many years, he is truly flexible and adaptable. No wonder he was able to build a considerable foundation in Qingyuefang."

"You flatter me, Master Gao. That is not my business, but your alchemy shop in the future."

Chu Xuan nodded again and said, "He's a remarkable person, but unfortunately, I don't need him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xuan gently placed his palm on the old man's head, and the old man's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

If it were someone else, they might have actually accepted the old man, after all, he was a mid-grade first-level alchemist and had a shop, so it wouldn't be a bad deal.

But for Chu Xuan, none of this mattered. If he wanted pills, he could just go to the federal alchemists. Even if the price was a little higher, the quality would definitely be fine.

Even due to the difference in resources between the two realms, the cost of hiring an alchemist from the Federation might not be much greater than here.

That shop didn't hold much appeal for Chu Xuan either. He didn't have time to run a shop; wouldn't it be better to use that time to diligently inscribe array plates?

They gathered up the scattered storage bags and then collected the young man's storage bag as well. The two of them had a total of five storage bags, and each of them was well aware of the principle of having multiple burrows.

After checking them one by one, Chu Xuan smiled broadly.

More than two thousand spirit stones, more than ten kinds of spiritual herbs, and more than thirty bottles of pills. No wonder it's a pill shop, it's lucrative!

In addition, there were three or four magical artifacts, a dozen or so talismans, and even two array plates, but the quality of them was generally average.

All things added up, Chu Xuan estimated that the total value was at least seven or eight thousand spirit stones.

That's wonderful! Thank you, nature, for this gift!
