Pan Youshu's expression changed as he saw the Skinny High Monk and said, "Yin Yang Blade Li Qin, I didn't expect you to be here as well. I'm only looking for Xu Feng to handle some personal matters; let's not discuss our business right now, and you shouldn't meddle."
Huang She cupped his fists towards Yin Yang Blade Li Qin and said, "Thank you for your assistance, fellow Daoist." With more people involved, it was easier to handle the situation. Since a fight had broken out, they would fight to the end.
Pan Yougen shouted, "I am a law enforcement disciple of the Wan Jian Sect! Who dares to cause trouble?" Looking around, some timid cultivators retreated at his shout, wary of the Wan Jian Sect's influence.
"Damn it!" Huang She was the first to charge forward, and Li Qin followed suit, attacking fiercely with their dual blades.
At midnight, the onlooking cultivators had no intention of joining the fight; after all, it was none of their business. It was better to avoid trouble since the Wan Jian Sect was not to be trifled with. As they stepped back, Huang She and his companions were already engaged in a great battle.
Pan Youshu was also at mid-stage cultivation. Facing Huang She one-on-one was already challenging; with Li Qin joining in, he found himself overwhelmed and quickly began to retreat after just a few exchanges.
The information he had received indicated that Xu Feng only possessed Foundation Establishment Stage strength. Pan Youshu had chased him all the way from Beast Reject City but now realized that Xu Feng was at Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage and stubbornly refused to admit it. While fighting and fleeing, Xu Feng's abilities seemed to have surged unexpectedly tonight, catching Pan Youshu off guard.
To make matters worse, Yin Yang Blade Li Qin joined midway. It was truly unfortunate for Pan Youshu; the Wan Jian Sect's reputation no longer mattered. He just wanted to escape first and then call for reinforcements to deal with these two troublemakers later.
As Pan Youshu fought while retreating, he eventually turned into a full-on flight. In the end, he could no longer care about his dignity and fled desperately.
Huang She and his companion quickly caught on to his intentions and intercepted him from both sides, determined to kill Pan Youshu right there. If they let him escape, they wouldn't fare any better.
The three of them chased and fought until they broke free from the crowd and disappeared into the darkness. Soon after, a distant howl from Pan Youshu echoed through the night, followed by silence as the fighting ceased.
Then Li Qin returned cursing while supporting Huang She, who had a long gash across his abdomen that nearly severed him in half. His face was pale as he had already fainted from the injury.
The Golden-Clad Man approached Li Qin and exchanged a few words with him. Li Qin shook his head and said, "You all go ahead; I'll stay behind until Huang Daoyou recovers before we proceed."
The Golden-Clad Man turned and got into the carriage after greeting the original passengers. The Tayun Horse let out a long neigh and sped away.
Xu Feng's carriage was also ready. Since Xu Feng couldn't show himself, he whispered a few words to the disciple from Spirit Beast Manor who was driving, then took out a Sixth-Rank Vitality Pill and handed it over.
The Golden-Clad Man looked at the Qiangsheng Pill in surprise; this was a Sixth-Level Elixir. To give such a gift showed great presence. He couldn't help but regard Xu Feng with higher esteem. It was hard to believe that a cultivator who could offer such pills didn't have some background.
The Golden-Clad Man exchanged a few words with Li Qin, then fed the Qiangsheng Pill to Huang She. As expected, the Sixth-Level Elixir was potent; soon, color returned to Huang She's face, and his breathing became steady, though he was still too severely injured to wake up immediately.
Seeing that Huang She was no longer in critical condition, the Golden-Clad Man jumped onto the carriage and left the village inn overnight. As they passed the village entrance, Xu Feng inadvertently saw Pan Youshu lying on the ground, already dismembered into eight pieces.
This incident involving Wan Jian Sect would undoubtedly be counted against Xu Feng.
The low-grade Shape-Shifting Pill had a short duration, and with Xu Feng's improved physical condition, its effects diminished even more. By dawn, Xu Feng's form had returned to its original state.
The scattered cultivators sharing the carriage noticed Xu Feng's transformation and recalled Huang She's appearance; they already had an idea of what had happened. However, such occurrences were common in Modern Clerk, and no one would make a fuss about it.
Mist City lay at the southern end of Feihong Mountain Range, shrouded in mist from prolonged rain, making this water village appear veiled in ethereal haze. The scenery within ten miles of the city was indistinct, with visibility not exceeding thirty meters, causing Spirit Beast Manor's carriage to slow down.
The thick mist made it difficult to navigate.
The guards at Mist City were checking passersby; commoners were charged an entry fee based on headcount, while the arrival of cultivators created many business opportunities for them.
As Spirit Beast Manor's carriage approached, the soldiers recognized them as cultivators and did not dare to stop them, bowing respectfully to let them pass.
Three days before the auction, Ren Chang and his five companions found a place to stay. After a night of travel, everyone was a bit tired, so they quickly ate something and returned to their rooms to rest.
At noon, the six of them gathered as agreed, and Ren Chang acted like a tour guide, leading the group into the Fairy Market in Mist City.
The Fairy Market in Mist City is not always open; it only appears before major auctions when various cultivation merchants come to do business and sell all kinds of cultivation supplies.
The Fairy Market is set up in a temporarily rented space within the city. The area has already been cleared out in advance, and now it is filled with cultivation tools for sale. The vendors are diverse, including grassroots cultivators, disciples from Refining Tool sects, and external disciples from prestigious sects.
At the entrance of the Fairy Market, there are two large promotional posters hanging on either side: one reads "Jingcheng Auction," and the other reads "Gathering of the Immortals."
"This is the largest auction house in Mist City, where even the lowest items for auction are mid-grade spiritual tools," Ren Chang explained as they walked towards the Fairy Market. "Jingcheng Auction starts at three o'clock, followed by Gathering of the Immortals at five."
The Fairy Market spans a thousand meters, bustling with crowds and thriving business. The vendors are busy negotiating deals and hardly have time to attract customers.
"Everyone can take a look around here; there’s a wide variety of goods. Afterward, you can return to the inn on your own," Ren Chang suggested as they dispersed. Cultivators often have their own secrets and prefer not to let others see what they are buying, as it could reveal their weaknesses. Therefore, both buyers and sellers tend to avoid discussing unrelated matters.
The quality of goods at this Fairy Market is much higher than that at the Fairy Market in Xian City. Low-grade magical tools are rare here; most items are mid-grade or higher, and larger stalls typically feature spiritual tools prominently.
Xu Feng spent half an hour quickly browsing through the Fairy Market and selected a few stalls of interest.
The first stall was dedicated to Cultivation Methods. The vendor was haggling with a customer while Xu Feng browsed through various Cultivation Method books. There were quite a few stalls selling Cultivation Methods in the Fairy Market, but this was the largest one.
All six Major Sects from Liuxiang Kingdom had their Refining Qi Stage Cultivation Methods displayed here, specifically sets focused on Wood Element cultivation. This would be unimaginable in the mortal world, where stealing martial arts techniques could lead to severe consequences. However, in Modern Clerk society, such rules do not exist; each sect eliminates many disciples each year, and cultivators possess remarkable memory abilities. Copying a Cultivation Method book is incredibly easy for them.
Initially, the sect intervened a bit, but later realized that despite repeated prohibitions, it was impossible to completely eradicate the issue. Moreover, since it was not a core Cultivation Method, they gradually allowed it to happen. Xu Feng wanted to sell a few Cultivation Methods he had on hand, but now it seemed those "discontinued" items were hardly worth anything.
"Boss, do you have any Intermediate Cultivation Methods?" Xu Feng asked.
"No," the Boss replied curtly, then looked at Xu Feng's novice demeanor and explained, "Earth-Level Cultivation Methods are advanced methods of the sect. If you dare to buy them, I wouldn't dare to sell them. However, there should be some at the Auction House."
The influence of the Auction House clearly did not fear the Major Sects; they hadn't stolen or robbed anything; they simply picked it up off the street, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
It seemed that Intermediate Cultivation Methods could not be found in the Fairy Market. Xu Feng picked up a book titled "Fragrance Heroes Chronicle" and began to browse through it.
"Eh?" Xu Feng's heart stirred as he glanced at the first page. This was a ranking list of various powerful cultivators from Liuxiang Kingdom over the past three hundred years, compiled by the highly reputable Iron Blood Trading Company’s manager, Shen Tiao.
"Jin Liaoyuan: Ranked eighth on the Liuxiang Heroes List. Cunning and arrogant, known as a great thief. After the battle at Wuhua Island, he was severely injured and fled into Beast Wasteland, disappearing ever since."
The great thief Jin Liaoyuan, ranked eighth in Liuxiang Kingdom! Master, you truly are formidable.
