Wild Dogs

Back in his cave, following Xue Ming's instructions, Yang Fan took the puppet and began his descent down the mountain.

Although the puppet was only used for surveillance and couldn't relay his words to Xue Ming, Yang Fan was noticeably more cautious.

He didn't speak to Zhou Peng the whole way, just to be on the safe side, he didn't want the puppet to see any secrets.

After carefully leaving the Blood Fiend Sect, Yang Fan headed straight for a nearby market town.

This market town is not too far from here.

Two or three hours later, Yang Fan had arrived near the market.

Out of caution, he did not enter the market, but instead observed the attire of the other visitors.

This place is near the Blood Path Sect.

Most of the people who come here are ruthless and despicable. You could easily be double-crossed here if you're not careful. Yang Fan must stay vigilant.

After looking around, he noticed that most of the people entering the market were wearing masks.

Only a small number of Foundation Establishment cultivators were able to swagger in, clearly indicating their confidence in their own strength.

Yang Fan understood that with his current strength, he couldn't afford to be arrogant in front of these people, so he honestly put on a mask.

As for the puppet, they also put a mask on it so that it wouldn't attract so much attention.

Then, Yang Fan carefully led the puppet into the market.

This market town is very different from the market town near Qingyun Temple.

Most of the goods sold in the market near Qingyun Temple are aboveboard, but the goods sold here are not so aboveboard.

Yang Fan glanced around casually and saw a large pile of blood-soaked limbs lying to the side.

He only glanced at it twice before reluctantly looking away.

After these bloodline sects finished crafting the corpse puppets, they would have some limbs left over, which they wouldn't waste.

Instead, they are displayed at stalls and sold directly; those who practice blood cultivation techniques will buy them if they need them.

Yang Fan looked around and saw various human organs displayed in many places.

It has eyes, limbs, and even spiritual roots.

Why are all the spiritual roots displayed here?

Yang Fan frowned.

It seems that someone is indeed doing spiritual root transplantation here.

However, Yang Fan only glanced at it briefly before trying to remain calm and moving away to another place.

Next, he first needed to ensure that all kinds of supplies were purchased for Xue Wang.

Yang Fan immediately began searching for supplies in the surrounding area according to the list Xue Wang had given him.

The supplies that Xue Wang needed were relatively easy to find.

In addition, the spirit stones given by Xue Wang were sufficient, so the procurement did not take too much effort.

In just a few quarters of an hour, Yang Fan had already purchased almost all the supplies that Xue Wang needed.

He carefully selected all these supplies and only put them away after confirming that there were no problems.

After doing all this, Yang Fan let out a long sigh of relief.

Xue Wang is an unpredictable person; he must deal with him carefully.

After finishing, Yang Fan looked around.

Then he began to select the various materials needed to refine the Mind-Capturing Gu.

First are various medicinal herbs.

To successfully refine the Mind-Capturing Gu, a large quantity of poisonous herbs is required.

Most of these poisonous plants are quite valuable.

Yang Fan spent almost half an hour carefully searching through various stalls before finally purchasing all the poisonous herbs he needed.

After finding enough poisonous plants, the next step is to find insect eggs.

Logically speaking, most markets and neighborhoods wouldn't sell insect eggs.

However, since the market here involves transactions with many sects, Yang Fan didn't have to spend too much time finding insect eggs.

They quickly found all the insect eggs needed to refine the Mind-Capturing Gu.

In addition to cultivating the eggs, the process of refining Gu worms also involves making them fight each other.

Next, Yang Fan searched for several other materials needed to refine the Mind-Controlling Gu at nearby stalls.

After circling most of the market, Yang Fan finally finished purchasing the last few materials.

After purchasing the materials, Yang Fan went to a secluded corner and carefully stored them in his small cauldron.

These materials must not be exposed to the light of day; Xue Ming must never find out about them.

Throughout the entire process, the puppet simply followed Yang Fan closely, appearing harmless.

But Yang Fan knew how terrifying this thing was, so he was extremely careful in all his actions.

Then, Yang Fan looked at the surrounding stalls.

Although Yang Fan had all the materials needed to refine the Gu worms, he was still missing a few materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He had already collected most of the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill in the Blood Cave.

However, there were several auxiliary medicinal materials that were not found in the Blood Cave at that time.

Fortunately, these auxiliary medicinal materials are not difficult to find and should be available.

However, after checking his pockets, Yang Fan found somewhat embarrassingly that he didn't have enough spirit stones.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Fan took out a few items from his storage bag, intending to dispose of them nearby.

These items were obtained from defeating his opponents recently, and he used them to exchange for spirit stones.

With that in mind, Yang Fan walked around the nearby stalls and found a larger one to go over to.

"What would this guest like to order?"

The stall owner behind the stall greeted us warmly.

Seeing this, Yang Fan lowered his voice.

"I have some good things here; I wonder if you would be willing to accept them?"

Upon hearing that Yang Fan was there to sell something, the stall owner was noticeably less enthusiastic.

Then he adopted an arrogant demeanor and sized up Yang Fan.

"Selling things is fine too, but I'm picky. If your stuff isn't good, I won't buy it."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan smiled.

"Don't worry about that. If the product wasn't good, I wouldn't dare to put it up for sale. You'll know once you take a look."

Yang Fan waved his hand, revealing some items, and placed the materials in front of the stall owner.

The stall owner was extremely satisfied after just one glance.

Most of the materials Yang Fan displayed were related to weapon crafting, and several of them were mithril.

Although mithril is not as good as Gengjin, it is still an excellent material for refining weapons.

Although Yang Fan only had a small piece the size of a fingertip, it was already quite valuable.

The stall owner was overjoyed to see Yang Fan take out such a good item.

He almost made a direct offer, but he held back and then put on an indifferent expression.

"I wondered what it was, but it's just a small piece of mithril. It's a nice item, but it's too small."

"Here's what we'll do, I'll give you one hundred spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan glanced at him, said no more, packed up all the things, and turned to leave.

"Friend, why did you leave without even doing any business?"

Seeing that Yang Fan was ignoring him, the stall owner got anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yang Fan.

Yang Fan gave the other person a cold look.

"Doing business requires knowing whether people recognize the value of goods. If you don't know the value and still try to drive down the price, how can I do business with you?"

Then Yang Fan took the piece of mithril into his hand.

"I'll go take a walk around the neighborhood; I refuse to believe there aren't people who can appreciate its value."

As he spoke, Yang Fan prepared to leave.

Seeing that Yang Fan was really angry, the stall owner hurriedly walked up to Yang Fan with a smile.

"Friend, don't be angry. We're just doing business. What's there to be upset about?"

"How about this, if you think the price is too low, I'll raise it by another thousand spirit stones?"
