Five days later, standing before the familiar plaque of Southstream Market, Chen Mobai felt as if he had been transported to a different era.

“Elder, it’s been a while. I didn’t expect to see you still alive.”

Qi Er, who was acting as a guide at the entrance, looked at Chen Mobai, his face filled with excitement.

“Hehe.”

For this, all Chen Mobai could do was smile gently.

“There hasn’t been any big incident in the market lately, has there.”

He didn’t ask Qi Er to lead the way, but when the latter saw an acquaintance, he greeted his fellow companions at the entrance and followed Chen Mobai into the market on his own initiative.

“Our Yun Country is within the influence of the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect, as long as these two sects don’t fight each other, even if enemy forces attack, our Southstream Market is as secure as Mount Tai.” Qi Er’s face showed pride, as if he really considered himself a part of the market.

“Brother Chen, hold on.”

just at this moment, He Qun suddenly ran over and stopped Chen Mobai.

“Oh, is there something you need, Brother He?

Chen Mobai turned around, looking a bit puzzled.

“The thing is, as you know, I wasn’t so lucky during our expedition to Yun Meng Ze. Not only did I lose an arm, but I also exhausted all of my spirit stones.”

“I am in dire need of spirit stones right now. You once asked me about buying Dark Water. I still have two bottles of it, do you still need it?

“I can give them to you at the cheapest price, 15 spirit stones per bottle.”

He Qun said sincerely, but Chen Mobei just shook his head.

“I’m sorry, Brother He, I want it, but I am a little short of funds, I can’t afford even one bottle.”

The actual reason was that Chen Mobai felt the Dark Water refined by He Qun himself should not be as good a quality as that of the Divine Wood Sect.

Moreover, he still had a bottle of Dark Water that he could use, so it was not necessary to invest his precious spirit stones in this.

“I see. I am sorry for my prattle.”

Looking disappointed, He Qun walked away.

After leaving Chen Mobai’s line of sight, he entered a small lane.

Two ordinary-looking, thin loose cultivators were already waiting there, their faces slightly changed when they saw him coming in, and they asked.

“How did it go, have you confirmed it?”

“Yes, when I was selling Dark Water just now, I took a good look. The brass ring he wears on his hand is the ‘Casting Sword Ring’ of Golden Cliff. If you get it, you can easily break through to the perfection of Qi Cultivation.”

“This Casting Sword Ring is a symbol of the true disciples of Golden Cliff, rarely circulated outside. How did he get it?”

“Well find out when we ask him.”

The older of the two loose cultivators spoke with a cold tone.

“I’ve given you the information, where’s my payment?”

He Qun asked.

“This time is different from before, we’ll give it to you after we get the goods.”

“No, I’m in urgent need of spirit stones, I need it now.

Hearing He Qun’s words, the elder loose cultivator lifted his head, and the air in the entire alley suddenly turned cold.

“Old Man He, all your sworn brothers, have died in Yun Meng Ze. Even you only have one hand left. You need to realign the way you treat us brothers.”

“You all…”

After hearing these words, a flash of anger crossed He Qun’s face. However, seeing the two men opposite squinting their eyes, recalling his current situation, and the fact that the two sworn brothers who left earlier haven’t returned to the market yet, he had to swallow his rage, held his tongue and turned to leave.

“Brother, isn’t this a bit inappropriate? After all, the information provided by him has helped us to settle in Southstream Market.”

After He Qun had left, the smaller cultivator frowned and asked a question.

“We were just being polite because he is of use to us.

“Once we seize the Casting Sword Ring, we’ll leave Yun Country immediately and head to Kun Country.”

“As long as we cultivate Golden Light Tactics to Qi Cultivation Level Nine, pass the Sword Tomb trial, and become disciples of Golden Cliff, we won’t have to spend our time in this small market, working as He Qun’s henchmen.” After the larger cultivator finished speaking, the other showed an enlightened expression.

Indeed, since this was their final score, there was no need to give face to He

Qun.

‘■You keep an eye on the market entrance. The moment that boy leaves, we’ll ambush and kill him halfway. I will watch Old He.”

After dividing their tasks, the two disappeared into the alley.

Chen Mobai was completely unaware of this. He handed over the two pounds of snake meat he was carrying to Qi Er, asking him to sell it to Sky Meal Building for him.

Then he brought the sixteen bottles of elixirs that he had picked up from Green Light Island, and went to set up his stall.

By now he was familiar with the ropes, he found the stall owner who had previously bought his elixirs, and after haggling over the price, he sold all the elixirs at once, earning 28 Spirit Stones, which was considered a conclusion to his half-year’s hard work.

After waiting for a while, Qi Er, who had finished selling the snake meat, returned with the earnings of two Spirit Stones.

Also there were 68 used Spirit Stones that he had bought over time, following Chen Mobai’s order. These would be invaluable as Spiritual Extract once taken to the Celestial Sects.

Chen Mobai directly handed him a silver note worth a thousand taels as a reward, to which Qi Er expressed his deep gratitude.

“By the way, do you know if Lu Shu, who shared a booth with me, is still in the market?”

“I haven’t seen him for a while, but Miss Zhuo Ming returned from Yun Meng Ze last month. She has a good relationship with Lu Shu. You might want to ask her. But she hasn’t been at her stall recently either, and has been staying in her rented cave dwelling.”

Hearing Qi Er’s words, Chen Mobai thought of the woman in a yellow dress who had bought two Green Arrow Talismans from him. If he remembered correctly, she was only at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation.

She was pretty lucky to have survived the attack of demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze.

However, he and Zhuo Ming only had one conversation before, and he wasn’t sure if she would want to see him if he went to see her abruptly.

After much consideration, Chen Mobai decided to pay her a visit.

This matter had been bothering him for a long time, and it would continue to be uncomfortable if he didn’t resolve it.

When he arrived at Zhuo Ming’s cave dwelling, he found the door was closed. Chen Mobai didn’t dare to shout or pass a note in, it would be too presumptuous.

He wanted to leave a note at the door, but he didn’t dare to write his questions on it, and so he ended up shaking his head and leaving.

At the entrance of the market, Chen Mobai found Qi Er and instructed him to pass a message to Zhuo Ming if he saw her, saying he wanted to talk to her. After all the arrangements, he made another trip to the pharmacy in the market where the Divine Wood Sect sold medicinal pills and Spirit Grass, to ask when they would begin accepting loose cultivators this year.

The shopkeeper somewhat recognized him, and noticing Chen Mobai’s late stage of Qi Cultivation, his attitude was even more amiable.

-This year our sect lost quite a few disciples in Yun Meng Ze. We need to recruit new blood earlier than usual, so the Spirit Messenger has left early. But to reach Yun Country, it would take at least half a month at the earliest.” After all, the land of the Eastern Wasteland was vast. Yun Country was considered near, but on average, a sect would set a year as the period for the Spirit Messenger’s recruitment of disciples.

“Is that so? It seems that it’s best to stay here for the time being.”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai muttered to himself..
