It’s New Year’s—let’s go out and stroll!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard the New Year’s market at Tianmen Pass is bustling—there are goods Itachi won’t even find in Jingcheng!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia also grew interested; after constant training and combat, he needed to relax: “Alright, let’s experience the New Year’s atmosphere at Shanhai Pass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the hopeful looks on their faces, Ye Lingxi’s cold eyes softened: “Fine, I know a few streets that are lively—I’ll take Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three changed into casual clothes, left the Ye family mansion, and blended into the streets of Tianmen Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The New Year’s atmosphere at Shanhai Pass was utterly different from that within human territories—it was always on alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lanterns hanging along the streets weren’t ordinary red ones—they could activate small protective barriers in emergencies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Street vendors sold not just New Year goods, but also various demonic beast materials, as well as oddly shaped long toys and magic treasure replicas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air carried a unique blend of gunpowder, spiritual energy, and the aromas of street snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa! Lao Xia, look! Is that pendant made from real Canghu fangs? So badass!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng, like a curious child, pulled Jiang Xia to a stall and stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor was a burly man with a face full of scars but sharp eyes; he chuckled at the remark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young brother, sharp eyes! Genuine Canghu fangs—hang them at home to ward off evil and protect your household, absolutely powerful! New Year special—not 1,998, not 988, just 888 spirit stones!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eight hundred eighty? Why don’t Itachi just rob someone!” Wang Teng liked it but wasn’t a fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi whispered beside them: “Prices at Shanhai Pass are much higher than elsewhere, especially for demonic beast material goods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s gaze was drawn to a nearby fruit stall—a fruit entirely ice-blue, radiating cold: “Is this… Bingjiang fruit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor was an elderly woman who warmly greeted: “Yes, yes! Young man, Itachi know your stuff!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bingjiang fruit from the Ice Plains of Disha Pass—sweet and refreshing, with a hint of ice-element spiritual energy. Even Miss Ye loves buying mine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clearly recognized Ye Lingxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi nodded in endorsement: “The taste really is good—try some.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia was surprised: “These spiritual fruits are rare even in Jingcheng—I didn’t expect a street vendor here to have them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi explained: “These spiritual fruits only grow in specific spots at Shanhai Pass, but yields are high and transport is troublesome, so almost no one brings them back inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia nodded and bought some.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the three strolled, a commotion erupted ahead—someone was arguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There has to be a first come, first served rule! I saw this Ningshen incense first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar voice rang out, annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi saw it, so it’s yours? The vendor hasn’t taken your money yet! Highest bidder wins—don’t Itachi understand the rules?” came a slightly effeminate retort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia and the others turned toward the sound and saw two groups facing off before a stall selling incense and talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One side was Zhou Hao of the Martial Alliance and his companions; the other, Qin Wushang of the Underworld and several black-robed disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng grinned: “Hey! Fate is cruel! It’s Zhou Hao and that soulless prince from the Underworld!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi frowned: “Qin Wushang? Why is he here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia said nothing, his gaze sweeping the stall—the so-called Ningshen incense was indeed excellent, made from Qingxin herb mixed with other materials, highly beneficial for calming the mind during cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor was a simple, honest middle-aged man, caught between the two powerful factions, sweating profusely, torn between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hao’s face flushed with rage—he had just broken through to the Wanghou Realm and needed this Ningshen incense to solidify his foundation, yet Qin Wushang had interfered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In strength, he was newly arrived in Wanghou and unlikely to match Qin Wushang, already established in that realm; in background, while the Martial Alliance was strong, the Underworld was no pushover either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Wushang wore a mocking sneer—he didn’t truly need the Ningshen incense; he simply disliked Zhou Hao, and with existing tensions between the Underworld and the Martial Alliance over missions, this was a perfect chance to provoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Zhou Hao, if Itachi can’t pay, get out of the way. And why are people from Renyuan Pass even here in my Qin family’s Tianmen Pass?” Qin Wushang’s tone dripped with contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hao clenched his fists, ready to lash out, but caught sight of Jiang Xia and the others approaching—especially Jiang Xia—and his expression changed; the words died in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Wushang also noticed Jiang Xia’s group; his sneer froze instantly, especially upon seeing Jiang Xia and Wang Teng—his eyes flickered with clear wariness… and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia had humiliated his senior brother at the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had crushed Cui Jue in the training camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had displayed terrifying strength during the Shadow Canyon mission, and now held the same colonel rank as his senior brother—his reputation was unmatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Wushang might be arrogant, but he wasn’t stupid—he knew full well he was no match for Jiang Xia, let alone with his current status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng had clashed with Qin Wushang often in the training camp; now he wouldn’t miss this chance, and spoke with sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Who’s this so imposing? If it isn’t Brother Qin of the Underworld?” Wang Teng deliberately emphasized “Underworld” to irritate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, bullying another wandering cultivator again? Oh wait—this time Itachi’re bullying a friend of the Martial Alliance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Wushang’s face flushed red and pale; he shot Wang Teng a furious glare but dared not retort, nor look at Jiang Xia—only snapped at the vendor: “I don’t want this incense!” Then he and his men vanished into the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hao exhaled in relief, gave Wang Teng a complex look, and bowed: “Thank Itachi… Brother Wang, Colonel Jiang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia waved dismissively: “Nothing much—we didn’t do anything.” He turned to the vendor: “How much for this Ningshen incense?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor quickly named a price; Zhou Hao paid immediately, thanked Jiang Xia again, and left with his men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng sneered at the direction Qin Wushang had vanished: “Coward! Ran faster than a rabbit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi murmured: “He truly dares not provoke Itachi now. Your strength and rank place Itachi among the top of the younger generation in Shanhai Pass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia gave no reply, telling Wang Teng: “Enough about him. Keep walking—see what else is tasty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this small incident, the three strolled more freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng devoured every novel snack—three-brother grilled lizard delight, Kang Shuai Fu iced black tea, Miss Yu’s giant sweaty feet—he ate until his mouth dripped grease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lao Xia, Lingxi, try this—it’s amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng held a skewer in one hand and a pastry in the other, constantly urging them to taste.\u003C\u002Fp>",1152,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","95f6763f61e3e7010595b463ff533cc89d0ec892e9431e7408fe87a295237098","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-106","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-104",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
