Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

Ang~

Just at this moment, a roar echoed from the depths of the Black Forest.

The sound was so high-pitched it spread outward like rolling thunder.

Where the sound waves passed, flowers, grasses, and trees all trembled.

Fish rushed into the water bottom, hiding in the mud.

Insects drilled into cracks at the sight of them, comparable to fleeing for their lives.

Countless startled birds in the forest rose into the air, fleeing in panic.

"What movement?" Xu Changqing's expression changed slightly.

Judging from the sound's source, it should be in the depths of the Black Forest.

You must know, inside there are demon nests everywhere.

A demon capable of emitting such a sound is absolutely not simple.

Therefore, Xu Changqing immediately summoned the Flying Paper Crane and decisively distanced himself.

Watching Dongqing City's North Gate draw nearer and nearer, his suspended heart finally settled.

After all, inside there is a Golden Core True Person holding the fort.

Even if a demon really ran out, it could be easily dealt with.

Along the way, Xu Changqing saw many Hunting Demon Teams rushing toward the Black Forest.

"Absolutely a Great Demon!"

"Hurry, go take a look!"

"Next month's auction is going to be spectacular!"

These Loose Cultivators not only weren't nervous, they were visibly excited to the naked eye.

Xu Changqing saw it in his eyes and murmured: "If I also became a Loose Cultivator, would I be the same as them?"

At this moment, he rejoiced without compare that he had chosen to remain in the 【Dongting Immortal Sect】 back then.

……

Soon, Xu Changqing returned inside 【Dongqing City】.

But the first thing he did was not seek out Han Su, but go to the Trading Hall.

The pressing task was to fence the stolen goods.

Zhang Er and the others' things, sell what can be sold.

Absolutely cannot leave behind any clues, evidence, or leverage.

Although Spirit Tools, Pills, Spirit Plants and such make one's eyes greedy.

But compared to life, they ultimately fall a bit short.

Of course, it's not selling to just one Trading Hall.

But multiple, selling in batches.

He still has this much presence of mind.

Even encountering stalls along the road, he would clear out some.

Soon, these "stolen funds" were all converted into Spirit Stones.

All the Spirit Plants sold for 15 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

All the Spirit Tools sold for 20 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

All the Pills sold for 5 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

There were also some miscellaneous odds and ends, adding up to 3 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

The final harvest of the first battle totaled 63 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

That is to say, this trip to the Loose Cultivator Market not only didn't lose money, but made a huge profit.

Even the cost was nonexistent.

"Can look for Junior Brother Han Su now." Xu Changqing took out the Communication Talisman.

Not long after, a voice came from the other side.

"Senior Brother?"

"My side is done, how about you?"

"Junior Brother's side is also done, let's meet up!"

"Good, right at the place you exchange rice."

Soon, the two agreed on a specific location.

Xu Changqing was walking along when two people came toward him.

One is a man.

The other is also a man.

One is a middle-aged person.

The other is also a middle-aged person.

Sun Yu let out a long breath: "Dao Friend Cai, finally found you."

Xu Zhangqing recognized him: "Manager Sun?"

Sun Yu pointed to the person beside him and introduced: "Dao Friend Cai, this is my Sun Family's current Clan Leader, Sun Rong."

Xu Zhangqing looked him over casually, then asked: "Have you considered it clearly?"

Sun Rong smiled slightly: "Dao Friend Cai, this is not a place to talk; why not rest a while at my Sun Family Manor?"

Xu Zhangqing refused decisively: "Sorry, I don't want to waste time."

It was a joke; although he was a Disciple of an Immortal Sect.

By rights he need not fear these Loose Cultivators.

But one cannot have a heart that harms others, yet cannot lack a heart that guards against others.

Who knew what would happen after going with the other party?

After all, one's own life matters most.

Sun Rong was stunned, then smiled and nodded: "Fine, to show sincerity, let us trade directly."

Xu Zhangqing extended his right hand: "Spirit Stones are your greatest sincerity."

How could Sun Rong and Sun Yu not understand? They hurriedly produced Spirit Stones capable of purchasing 500 jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice and handed them over at once.

In total, 4 Middle-grade Spirit Stones, 17 Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Seemingly not many, actually not few.

One must know, the Immortal Sect's ratio is 1:1.3.

And in the Loose Cultivator market, the ratio is 1:1.4.

The Sun Family purchased 500 jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice at a ratio of 1:1.2.

Higher than the market, higher than the Immortal Sect, quite a loss.

But there was no choice; Second-grade Spirit Rice was simply scarce.

Especially in a resource-poor Loose Cultivator market, it was even harder to buy.

"Very good." Xu Zhangqing took out the Spirit Rice with Satisfaction.

After checking the Spirit Rice, Sun Rong suddenly took out his Communication Talisman, smiling as he handed it over: "Dao Friend Cai, when you come next time, notify me in advance so I can have the manager make full preparations."

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing knew the other party was reminding him; he immediately took the Communication Talisman, then nodded: "Fine."

Afterward, he walked toward the place he had agreed with Han Su.

Sun Rong and Sun Yu stood together, seeing Xu Zhangqing off.

Sun Rong said slowly: "To be honest, I originally thought this was a swindler."

Sun Yu beside him was stunned upon hearing this: "Now?"

Sun Rong said seriously: "But upon seeing these Top-grade Spirit Rice, this old man dares to assert that this person is not only not a swindler, but absolutely an Immortal Sect Disciple."

Sun Yu asked with interest: "Why?"

Sun Rong said quite proudly: "In my early years I followed a True Person named Wang for a time, and from him learned that Spirit Rice is divided into three grades."

Inferior, superior, top-grade,

Different grades, the Spiritual Energy Concentration in the Spirit Rice is also different.

Outside, even in a Loose Cultivator market, being able to eat First-grade Spirit Rice is already not bad.

Only Immortal Sect Disciples can take out so much Top-grade Spirit Rice produced by Second Grade Spirit Fields in one breath."

The 500 jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice bought from Cai Kun, that is Xu Zhangqing, in his hand.

Spiritual Energy Concentration extremely high.

All reached Top-grade among Second-grade Spirit Rice.

If consumed long-term, for everyone in the Sun Family, it will be greatly beneficial.

Even if not comparable to Immortal Sect Disciples, in this small Dongqing City, they will still have a place.

Therefore, Sun Rong had already prepared to cooperate long-term with the other party; even if taking a loss, it did not matter.

On the Left Side, Xu Zhangqing had already met up with Han Su.

Xu Zhangqing asked: "Junior Disciple, what do we do next?"

Han Su looked at the Sundial, confirmed the time, then replied: "We have already missed the Giant Flying Sword; we can only spend the night here first."

"Fine." Xu Zhangqing did not mind.

Next, under Han Su's guidance, the two came near the Dongqing Tree.

Compared to the Loose Cultivator market, this place was actually more lively and prosperous.

Even the scent in the air was sweet.

One could see many Immortal Sect Disciples and Loose Cultivators; in short, all kinds of people.

Han Su led the way while saying: "Senior Disciple, most Immortal Sect Disciples who come here almost all stay overnight at Yixiang Pavilion."

"It is your first time here, so we are no exception."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhangqing released his spiritual sense; everything within a hundred meters was clear in his mind.

Listening to indescribable sounds.

Feeling these people's behavior.

How could he not understand what place this Yixiang Pavilion was?

But in his heart, not only was there no rejection, but rather some excitement.

There is an old saying: food, lust, nature!!!
