They are the women standing behind me.

Xu Yuanqing shook his head.

"I remember Fellow Daoist Xu mentioned a grand wedding a long time ago..."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, do you still remember?"

Xu Yuanqing smiled with some surprise and said, "If I get married next year, I will definitely invite Fellow Daoist Qin to attend. If Fellow Daoist Qin comes to congratulate me, I will be very proud. However, I do have something I want to ask. Isn't Fellow Daoist Qin staying in Fenghua Sect? Why did you leave so suddenly?"

He really didn't expect that Qin Xingyuan still took it to heart.

Qin Xingyuan is a person who actually takes others seriously.

"Let's go to the Wandan Xianzong." Qin Xingyuan said.

"So that's how it is. Fellow Daoist Qin always does things that are unexpected. When everyone subconsciously thought you were in the Changsheng Sect, you ran away to the small Fenghua Sect. When everyone subconsciously thought you were still in the Fenghua Sect, and when many Yuanying Realm Great Perfection cultivators and even demon cultivators came to find you, you ran away to the Wandan Xianzong..."

Xu Yuanqing nodded slightly and jokingly said, "Perhaps that's why everyone thinks you're there and not outside, that's why Fellow Daoist Qin doesn't get as much attention."

The two chatted for half an hour and then went downstairs. It was not Xu Yuanqing's treat, nor was it Qin Xingyuan's.

Xu Yuanqing suggested that the meal cost be split equally between the two of them.

Qin Xingyuan understood that no matter who treated him to this meal, there would always be a next time, and this way, both parties would be even.

Out of the restaurant.

Xu Yuanqing was silent for a while, then took the initiative to speak: "Friend Qin, if we meet again next time, we will smile at each other and go our separate ways, because now when I look at you, I really only feel deep despair and helplessness. I don't like this feeling. You can just treat me as useless. I think that as long as I don't see you again, I won't have that feeling. After all, I am confused and helpless. I really don't know what to do to keep the gap between us and each other from getting bigger and bigger. I know you don't care what realm I am in or how strong I am, but I do care, Friend Qin, I'm really sorry, it's my incompetence."

Qin Xingyuan was silent.

Xu Yuanqing did not contact him in the Spirit Realm, which actually shows Xu Yuanqing's attitude.

But he could understand Xu Yuanqing. If he put himself in Xu Yuanqing's shoes, if he looked at Xu Yuanqing, he would only feel deep helplessness and despair. He knew in his heart that let alone narrowing the gap, the gap between him and Xu Yuanqing would only get bigger and bigger. Would he really still be willing to associate with Xu Yuanqing?

Who wants to meet someone who makes them feel helpless and desperate?

He gained great strength and fame, but it came at a price, and he was also heading towards loneliness.

While gaining, you are also losing.

I'm afraid he will never have a close friend in his life.

People are still the same person.

But he is no longer that person.

Things are wrong.

Then he laughed heartily: "Why do you have to say that, Fellow Daoist Xu? There might even be a day in the future when I need Fellow Daoist Xu's help. As the saying goes, I was born with talents that will be useful."

"I was born to be useful..."

Xu Yuanqing nodded. "Fellow Daoist Qin, I like what you said. When I was traveling, I found that it was really necessary to learn a craft, whether it was refining weapons or making talismans, etc."

"need me……"

"No need, I rely on my own strength."

Xu Yuanqing shook his head and said, "People should always rely on themselves. Otherwise, relying on Fellow Daoist Qin is no different from relying on the sect. What's the point of me going out?"

Then he raised his head and chest and said, "Besides, I am a genius after all. I used to be the chief disciple in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm in the sect. I am a person with real pride!"

Qin Xingyuan nodded slightly.

Xu Yuanqing then suggested, "Fellow Daoist Qin, I'm going to sell some things. Are you interested in coming with me? If so, I can sell them to you at the same price as the store offered, and if Fellow Daoist Qin happens to like them."

……

Chapter 238? I didn’t expect that you would have the illusion that I would be afraid?

……

Qin Xingyuan and Xu Yuanqing walked along the road. Qin Xingyuan asked doubtfully, "Friend Xu, shouldn't we sell it directly to the Chamber of Commerce?"

Of course, there are all kinds of shops in Xiuxian City.

Not only small and medium-sized forces can rent shops to make money, but large forces and individuals can also open shops to make money - for example, didn’t Qin Xingyuan want to open a shop in his own name when he was in Juxian City?

"Fellow Daoist Qin, the Chamber of Commerce often sets extremely low purchase prices."

Xu Yuanqing whispered, "Many cultivators go to the Chamber of Commerce to buy things like elixirs, talismans, and magic weapons. Because the Chamber of Commerce is backed by powerful forces, there are a lot of these things, and there are discounts for buying in large quantities. But most of the things they sell are sold in the shops in Xiuxian City. That way, they can compare prices and see which one offers the highest price. They can even bargain when buying things. It's not like the Chamber of Commerce, where you just get the price you want."

The two of them talked as they walked, visiting this store and then entering that store. Xu Yuanqing took out things to sell, but Qin Xingyuan really didn't want anything.

However, he also discovered that there were actually quite a few monks in every shop.

He thought about it and it wasn't surprising. If there were not many people coming to a store all day, could it really continue to operate?

Of course, those who are responsible for reception inside are all disciples of the forces behind the store.

Later, when they came to a shop, Qin Xingyuan saw five palm-sized jade pendants on the counter. They were extremely beautiful. He planned to buy them and give them to Senior Sister Ye and Senior Sister Gu as a surprise for them.

Of course, Wen Yirong must also have a share - whether she needs it or not, it must be given to her anyway.

So he went to the shop owner to ask the price. The shop owner was a middle-aged man. He looked up at Qin Xingyuan and Xu Yuanqing and said, "One piece of Soul Nourishing Jade is 10,000 spirit stones."

"This jade can actually nourish the soul?"

Xu Yuanqing said in surprise.

"My friend, Lingyu needs to be worn for a long time to have any effect. At least one hundred years of wearing it close to the body will have some effect. Of course, the longer you wear it, the better the effect."

The shop owner explained, "This isn't a rare item. You can buy jade pendants with the same effect from the Chamber of Commerce run by powerful forces. It's just not as cheap as in our store. It's more expensive, and you definitely can't get one without 20,000 or 30,000 spirit stones. Of course, jade pendants of this effect bought from the Chamber of Commerce will be modified by a weapon refiner and can be used as a protective magic weapon. The price is almost the same. Anyway, whether you need it or not, since you have it, you have to pay for it. Honestly, the things in the Chamber of Commerce are indeed expensive for a reason. You get what you pay for in the Chamber of Commerce."

Qin Xing was too lazy to bargain and just decided to buy it. The owner took the spirit stones, packed up the five jade pendants, and glanced at Qin Xingyuan.

Anyone who has reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm and can easily take out 50,000 spirit stones is definitely not an ordinary person.

It must have a great origin and background.

How can you open a shop and do business without some vision?

His attitude also became much more enthusiastic. Not only that, he also refunded 3,000 spirit stones. "Young friend, if you buy a lot, there will be a discount. I even have the essence of a thousand-year-old spirit tree in my store. Do you need it? This was accidentally obtained by a disciple of my sect. If you take it, there are many benefits. If you need it, we can come over and talk."

"Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Tree Essence?!"

Qin Xingyuan was a little surprised. He naturally understood natural treasures. This belonged to the category of essence. Essence was indeed not a rare thing. There were many kinds of strange and bizarre essences in the world, but no matter what kind of essence it was, the price was indeed more expensive.

What is valuable is the years that have condensed the essence.

It would take at least a thousand years to form the essence.

Moreover, the essence is not something that can be absorbed by swallowing it directly, because while absorbing the power of the sun and the moon, the essence will also absorb a lot of impurities, so it needs to be refined with powerful spiritual fire to make the essence purer before it can be used.

He knew that the essence of the ten thousand year old spirit tree could make his vitality and blood more vigorous, which would increase his chances of a successful breakthrough during seclusion. It could also stimulate some of his own potential, etc. It was indeed very practical.

Especially for those who practice physical cultivation, the more vigorous their qi and blood are, the greater their strength will be.

Moreover, Senior Sister Ye and the others can also use some of them to stimulate their own potential and make their qi and blood vitality more vigorous.

Qin Xingyuan asked with some interest: "Senior, how many spirit stones are there?"

"You clearly don't know how to appreciate treasures. Just name your price. As long as the price is right, we can make a deal. I'd like to be friends with you. If you don't have enough spirit stones, you can pay a deposit."

The middle-aged man finished speaking with a smile, and a voice came, "I wonder if you can sell me this ten thousand year old spirit tree essence?"

Qin Xingyuan and Xu Yuanqing looked over and saw a young man and woman whose realm they couldn't see through walked over. They raised their hands and clasped their fists, "My name is Xuan Lingyu, and this is my Taoist partner, Dongfang Suya."

Xu Yuanqing raised his eyebrows. Qin Xingyuan and the store owner were talking, and these two people came over and interrupted, wanting to buy it. Isn't it inappropriate?

Besides, Qin Xingyuan is not a man with a bad temper.

"My dear Xuan, the Chamber of Commerce has its own rules, and our shops also have their own rules. Unless this young man explicitly says he doesn't want it, as long as he offers a suitable price, we will sell it to him."

The middle-aged man who was the shop owner said that he was naturally an intelligent man and knew that Xuan Lingyu must have a background. Otherwise, would he dare to "compete" with a Jindan realm cultivator who could pay 50,000 spirit stones?

But there are indeed some things to pay attention to when opening a store and doing business.

Xuan Lingyu smiled slightly and asked curiously, "I wonder if this young friend would be willing to give me a favor? Since I happened to bring my Taoist partner into this shop to take a look and learned about this treasure, I think it must be fate."

Qin Xingyuan's words were very direct and clear, "Senior Xuan, I'm sorry, I do want this thing."

Hearing this, Xuan Lingyu still said straight to the point: "My friend, my Taoist partner and I are both body cultivators. If we can use it, it will definitely help us improve a little. Why don't you give me a favor?"

Xu Yuanqing's heart was already beating wildly when he heard this. Who doesn't know what kind of person Qin Xingyuan is?

If you anger him, he might just...

Qin Xingyuan felt that this person had been doing this again and again, so he must have wanted it very much. Moreover, this person knew that he would give 50,000 spirit stones for free. Even a fool would know that he must have some background. He even dared to ask him for face and "compete" with him. This Xuan Lingyu must have some great background.

There is no doubt about this.

But why would he give in?

He really didn't have much need for the essence of the ten thousand year old spirit tree, and it was actually okay without it. But even if he didn't need it, Senior Sister Gu and the others did!

So Qin Xingyuan said, "This junior also needs this item. Please don't say anything more, Senior Xuan, to avoid causing unpleasantness to everyone."

"My dear friend, my husband is not a good-tempered person. It is rare for him to speak so kindly to you."

Dongfang Suya gently reminded, "Also, my husband's background is beyond your imagination. Don't make things difficult for him, or it won't be good for you. Of course, my friend must have a background as well. How about this? I'll give you 5,000 spirit stones, and you..."

But when she got to this point, she saw Qin Xingyuan interrupting her and said, "Can you please stop bothering me?"

Xu Yuanqing's scalp tingled. This was clearly a disrespect to him.

Dongfang Suya was stunned.

Hearing this, Xuan Lingyu's face darkened. "I'm trying to be nice to you, but you insist on refusing to accept my offer? I don't care about your background, I don't care. Now kneel down and apologize. Since you have a powerful background, I'll let you, a Jindan realm cultivator, go easy on you and not argue with you."

Xu Yuanqing's expression suddenly changed and he looked at Xuan Lingyu in shock.

The atmosphere in the store became tense.

The shop owner said with a straight face, "Two customers, please leave first. There is a priority in buying and selling. We are even open for business. Since this young man wants it, we must sell it to him. You are talking like this in front of me..."

Xuan Lingyu interrupted with a voice like a deafening thunder, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll take care of the forces behind you as well!"

The middle-aged shop owner's face suddenly changed. He laughed in anger and said, "Although our sect isn't a big power, no matter who you are, if you want to touch our sect, you have to ask the consent of the big powers affiliated with our sect. Will they intervene? Even I was sent by the sect to be a shop owner. I've been running the shop since then. What kind of monsters and demons have I not seen? And I'm telling you, a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm, don't be arrogant when you go out. You can't always carry the power and background behind you on your back."

"My father's name is Xuan Gang."

Xuan Lingyu said coldly, "One of the world's most famous figures who rules the Spirit Realm is also a wandering cultivator. I came out of seclusion and brought my Taoist companion to look for my father!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the store were shocked and their expressions changed completely. The middle-aged man who was the store owner also took a breath of cold air, with fear flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Xuan Lingyu looked at Qin Xingyuan fearlessly and shouted, "Kneel down and apologize, I..."

As a result, he, Dongfang Suya and everyone in the store did not expect that Qin Xingyuan would unexpectedly raise his right hand and slap out!

Too fast!

It was so fast as lightning that people had no chance to react.

The force seemed to be extremely powerful, and Xuan Lingyu was completely unprepared, so he was knocked to his knees in front of everyone!

It was not until this moment that the protective magic weapon on his body seemed to react and opened the shield.

Now everyone took a step back in horror.

How could others not give face to the son of a famous figure in the world?

After all, in an era when there is no invincible person, a famous figure in the world is one of the strongest people in the human race!

Xuan Lingyu's background is extremely suffocating. He is indeed arrogant and domineering, and has the qualifications and confidence to completely disregard the forces and backgrounds behind others!

But unfortunately, Xuan Lingyu met the fearless Qin Xingyuan.

Dongfang Suya, completely stunned, saw Qin Xingyuan with a half-smile on his face and asked, "I didn't expect you to have the illusion that I was afraid?"

He even smashed the protective shield of the magic weapon with a palm and hit Xuan Lingyu in the face.

The slap was loud.

Chapter 239: No matter who you are

Naturally, everyone's heart was filled with great waves.

Putting aside the strength, if one searches all the human domains, there is only one Qin Wudi who dares to ignore the person who has a world-famous figure behind him after reaching the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm!

After all, before he transcended the tribulation, if there was no truly invincible person in this great era, Xuan Gang would have been one of the strongest in the human race. But besides the well-known Qin Wudi, who else would dare to treat the bloodline of such a supreme being like this?!

Even if you give others ten thousand courages, they still wouldn't dare to do it!
