With three hundred taels of Golden Red Sand, Guan Yue arrived at the Disciple supplies store. However, upon inquiry, he learned that an ordinary person could not directly consume the Little Ancestor. Instead, one had to start with the most basic Transcendence Pill. Guan Yue thought this made sense and asked how much it would cost to eventually buy the Little Ancestor. The store informed him, "It will cost ten thousand taels of Golden Red Sand!"
Guan Yue smiled wryly and had no choice but to leave.
As soon as he stepped outside, he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance: the fishmonger who had bought his Fire Scale Fish.
Guan Yue was looking for someone to ask about matters, so he immediately called out, "Fan Brother, what are you doing here?"
The fishmonger, surnamed Fan, said with a bitter expression, "My son wants to become a Disciple and asked me to help him buy some pills."
"What realm is your son in now?"
"Hey, what realm can my son be in? Right now, I can only afford to buy him an Everlasting Pill. We can't afford the Little Ancestor." Although Fan the Fishmonger claimed he couldn't buy the Little Ancestor, he was still quite pleased that he could purchase an Everlasting Pill; his son was on the verge of becoming an Eternal Realm Cultivator.
Guan Yue watched as he spent ninety-nine taels of Golden Red Sand to buy an Everlasting Pill. Curious, Guan Yue asked, "Isn't the listed price one hundred taels of Golden Red Sand? Why did they charge you one tael less?"
"Guan Young Master, I've been buying pills from this store for a long time, so they gave me a discount of one tael," Fan the Fishmonger said proudly.
As they exited the Disciple supplies store, Fan the Fishmonger casually invited, "Guan Young Master, would you like to come over to my house for a visit?"
"Sure," Guan Yue immediately agreed. Seeing that Fan the Fishmonger didn't seem sincere, Guan Yue quickly added, "Do you know how much fish I sold today? Let me tell you—three hundred taels of Golden Red Sand. I came specifically to find you today but couldn't locate you anywhere; I had no choice but to sell early. If I knew where you lived, all my future business would be with you."
Upon hearing Guan Yue's words and seeing the glimmering Golden Red Sand in his hand, the fishmonger was instantly delighted and took Guan Yue back to his home. This Guan Young Master had just spent three hundred Golden Red Sand; he must have traded a lot of good fish today.
He came from Haiga Village, which was the fishing village he was responsible for overseeing. It was essential to maintain good relations with this client.
Arriving at the fishmonger's house, it was far superior to Puppy Sheng's home. Not only was it spacious and clean, but it also had all sorts of household items and raised many pigs, cows, and sheep. There were even two helpers.
Fan the Fishmonger called out for his son—a sturdy boy around thirteen or fourteen years old. He was robust and powerful, quite different from Dogsheng; he exuded strength and had already become a Disciple in the Eternal Realm. However, when Guan Yue looked closer, he realized that among Disciples who took pills, there were no distinctions between high-quality, medium-quality, or low-quality; they all belonged to the same realm—medium quality.
Guan Yue was secretly curious about what the Xiu Shi Wan was, as it could actually elevate someone by a whole realm. Could it be made from Mosha Bone?
Fan Fishmonger carefully handed the Everlasting Pill to his son, instructing him to consume it alone while he chatted with Guan Yue.
Guan Yue first asked, "Where did those strong men from Haiga Village come from? They are quite arrogant."
While offering Guan Yue some tea, Fan Fishmonger replied, "Those people are not to be trifled with; they are from the Tiger Gate Gang, which is considered a very powerful gang in our area. Naturally, they act arrogantly."
"Tiger Gate Gang? Is this gang really that powerful?" Guan Yue was eager to understand what kind of gang was considered strong.
Fan Fishmonger took a sip of tea himself before gesturing for Guan Yue to drink as well. He continued, "The Tiger Gate Gang is the second largest force in our Haichuan area, with dozens of members in the Great Dao Realm and over a thousand in the Minor Ancestor Realm. Their leader is even at the Breaking Heaven Realm. What's more terrifying is that he cultivated himself to reach that level, rather than relying on pills. That's why his gang keeps expanding."
"What is the name of the gang that is stronger than them?" Guan Yue asked curiously.
"It's called the Sea Eagle Gang. This gang has two members at the Breaking Heaven Realm, but they both achieved that through pills, so they can barely handle one leader from the Tiger Gate Sect. However, there are several thousand members in the Sea Eagle Gang. Their main power isn't here; our area has always been under the control of the Tiger Gate Gang."
After explaining, Fan Fishmonger immediately added, "Guan Young Master, although you are an outsider, you should still be cautious and avoid provoking them. After all, their influence is too great. You should catch some good fish for me; I will definitely give you a fair price and won't let you suffer any losses."
Guan Yue repeatedly assured Fan Brother that he trusted him and would do business with him in the future.
After bidding farewell to Fan Fishmonger, Guan Yue found a tavern where he slowly drank wine. His ears were not idle; he activated his Divine Sense and continuously eavesdropped on the conversations of nearby patrons.
"Today our Boss made a fortune and gave us quite a bit of reward money. He even let us take a break, so I seized this opportunity to invite everyone for drinks. I apologize for any offenses in the past; I hope everyone can forgive me."
"Fat Brother, isn't your Boss known for being stingy? What big fortune did he make today to be so generous with rewards? Did he perhaps obtain-----?"
"Fat Brother is clever, but this matter cannot be discussed too much; let's just leave it at that. Come on, let's drink."
"Fat Brother, following a Boss like you is boring. With such a Treasure obtained, why not get a captain for yourself? Being a captain is better than being a guard all day long; I don't even have time to chase after women."
"Not as good as above but better than below; I'm satisfied. Last night, I actually slept with a young widow who was quite beautiful. It's just that her husband died, and everyone says she brings misfortune to men, so no one wanted to marry her—what a bargain for me."
"Hey, people die every day and night. Haven't you noticed that there are more and more women around?"
"Hehe, isn't that great? It gives us men plenty of choices. We can have a new bride every night!"
These words were spoken by a few Disciples who were gathered around a fat man, boasting and joking. Guan Yue was paying attention to this fat man because he was interested in his Boss, who had struck it rich today!
Another table discussing a topic also caught Guan Yue's interest.
"Big Brother, why did you call us here today? Did you break through to the Great Dao Realm? Big Brother, all of us brothers became Great Dao Realm Cultivators by taking pills, but you are the only one who cultivated it yourself. Once you break through to the Great Dao Realm, we will join the Sea Eagle Gang. We need to carve out our own territory."
A hurried voice came from a bearded man. A Green-Faced Middle-Aged Man laughed heartily and said, "That's right! I broke through today. Now I want to send Fifth Brother to the Sea Eagle Gang to ask if they welcome us. Can they give us brothers a piece of land to manage ourselves? We can pay a management fee, but we must have full control over everything on that land. That's our condition."
The middle-aged man's voice was sharp, like a crowing rooster.
"Yes, Big Brother, I'll go tomorrow," a young man stood up and promised.
Then the middle-aged man continued, "Fourth Brother, you go to the Tiger Gate Gang tomorrow and propose the same conditions. Do you remember?"
Another Disciple stood up and replied, "Yes, Big Brother."
The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction and said, "Brothers, I am Haibensheng. After years of hard cultivation, I have finally broken through to the Great Path Realm. I can be considered a well-known Disciple in Haichuan now. We will no longer be bullied like before. Starting today, the nine of us brothers will begin our own lives. We will have our own territory, build our own palaces, freely seek beautiful women, be grooms every day, and have lovely companions every night. We'll drink at every meal and eat meat every day."
Hearing their big brother's ambitious words, the Disciples cheered excitedly.
One voice questioned, "Big Brother, didn't we agree to go to the Sea Eagle Gang? Why are we looking for the Tiger Gate Gang now? Haven't we suffered enough from them?"
Haibensheng laughed heartily and said, "Second Brother, things are different now. I've broken through to the Great Path Realm. I'm giving the Tiger Gate Gang a chance to see if they are willing to change their ways and cooperate with us. This way we can compare conditions from both gangs and gain an advantage. Don't worry; even if we cooperate with the Tiger Gate Gang, we will demand that they punish those who have harmed us! Otherwise, we won't cooperate with them."
"Still as wise as ever."
"Big Brother makes sense."
"Well, let's see what they have to say." Since everyone agreed with the eldest brother's opinion, the second brother could only say this, and it was clear that he held reservations about his brother's view.
After a while, the chubby guy took his leave to head back, and everyone accompanied him to the tavern entrance.
Guan Yue quickly followed him, planning to buy Puppy Sheng a Little Ancestor; it all depended on tonight.
The chubby guy soon returned to his residence.
It turned out to be a large courtyard with a sign at the entrance that read "Zhao," indicating that this Boss's surname was Zhao!
Guan Yue used the Concealment Technique to follow the chubby guy into the Zhao Family. Just a few steps in, he heard a voice call out, "Chubby, aren't you treating us tonight? Why are you leaving so early?"
"Boss, I just finished up and hurried back. Do you have any other instructions?" The chubby guy replied politely with a bow.
Guan Yue then noticed that Boss Zhao had a sharp face and looked quite sinister, but his voice was very pleasant.
"I'm in a particularly good mood today and can't sleep. Go out and bring me back a girl; I'll use her tonight and return her to you tomorrow. Hurry up, I'm about to lose control." Boss Zhao instructed the chubby guy. The chubby guy was taken aback for a moment but quickly agreed and ran off.
Guan Yue followed closely behind Boss Zhao into his living quarters. It was a row of single-story houses within the courtyard. There were three chambers: front and back doors, with a bedroom in the middle. The front door led to the living room, while the back door led to the bathroom and shower area.
Guan Yue thought to himself, "This is Boss Zhao's designated place for debauchery; it's designed very cleverly. It seems this guy is truly not a good person."
