#876 - Chapter 876 Buying Materials
Luo Yang, relying on his authority, overruled all objections and insisted that his orders be carried out to the letter, leaving the other peak masters and disciples unable to object.
Because he was short on funds, he lacked confidence, and Luo Yang wanted this effect – to use the power of the逍遥 peak to suppress the arrogance of the other peaks.
Yun Zu smiled as he handed the shopping list and the budget of spirit stones to Lin Yaoyao and Xiaobai.
According to Ye Kong's instructions, they were each responsible for a portion of the purchases.
Lin Yaoyao was mainly responsible for purchasing lighter materials such as pebbles, natural treasures, cultivation method manuals, and wood.
Xiaobai, on the other hand, was responsible for purchasing materials such as large rocks, pillars, and heavy magical artifacts.
Lin Yaoyao chose Xiaoqing, Ye Xiaoyao, Mu Qianqian, Ye Qingjun, and Ye Hongxue.
The remaining Ye Wuxin, Ji Changsheng, Chen Haoran, and Wang Xuan followed Xiaobai.
Just as everyone was ignoring Xiaoshan, he burst into tears.
“Waaah ~ I want to go with Senior Brother Xiaobai,” he said, reaching out to grab Xiaobai's clothes.
Xiaobai, of course, knew Xiaoshan's temper, and he couldn't coax him himself, so he could only look helplessly at Senior Sister Lin Yaoyao.
Lin Yaoyao's eyes lit up, and she leaned over and whispered in his ear: “More money! Five thousand!”
Xiaobai's pupils instantly dilated, and his black eyes took a long time to return to normal.
This…
Senior Sister is such a scammer! Not only did she scam me out of two medicinal herbs, but she also wants to continue scamming me out of five thousand spirit stones?
Impossible, impossible! Does she think I, the dignified Demon Emperor, can be rubbed on the ground by you?
Xiaobai picked up Xiaoshan in one fell swoop, “I can take you with me if you listen to me!”
Then, he glanced at Lin Yaoyao with a complex expression, feeling displeased, yet not daring to be displeased.
“Yay!” Xiaoshan made a V sign and waved goodbye to his master Ye Kong before leaving down the mountain with his senior brothers and sisters.
With a series of cloud-riding operations, several streams of light descended, and they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
A hundred miles to the east was the nearest market.
The market wasn't large, but the daily flow of people was considerable, and in the past, people from other races, such as the Witch and Sea Demon races, often appeared.
They set up various novelties in the market, such as a worm that had been enchanted and a colorful pearl from the seabed. These stalls used to be the most lively.
However, after an invasion from another world and the Zixia Pavilion's proactive suppression of these disloyal groups, the cultivation world had become much quieter.
It seems that reconstruction must be accelerated. I'm really not used to such a desolate cultivation world.
Lin Yaoyao murmured, sighing softly.
After roughly touring the market, she realized that to purchase all the materials, they would need to go to a farther and larger market.
“Hehe, kid, you can't move such a big rock,” the vendor, a middle-aged man, said with a smile, not taking it seriously.
“I can move it, I want this,” Xiaoshan shouted, preparing to reach out and grab it.
The middle-aged man blocked Xiaoshan's small hand, and an impatient expression began to appear on his face, “Whose child is making such a fuss? Hurry up and leave!”
Seeing this, Xiaoshan simply sat on the ground and burst into tears, attracting the attention of the surrounding people.
The middle-aged man was having a headache: “How about this, this rock is five spirit stones, you can take it.”
Upon hearing this, Xiaoshan wanted to take out five spirit stones from his storage bag.
When the middle-aged man saw Xiaoshan's storage ring, emitting a light green glow, he realized that it was no ordinary item and became malicious.
“Kid, uncle will teach you how to put this big rock into your storage bag,” he said, reaching out to grab it.
Who knew that in the next second, the jade pendant on Xiaoshan's chest suddenly lit up, and a light green gas floated out, condensing into the shape of a long sword in the air, instantly piercing the middle-aged man's hand.
“Ah ~ Ah ~ Ah ~” The middle-aged man wailed in pain, “You… You… You…”
He was both in pain and anxious, his face almost twisted, revealing a hideous look.
But the light green sword energy quickly dissipated, so quickly that the middle-aged man thought he had just been hallucinating.
The surrounding people, however, were looking at him, pointing fingers at a child.
“Hey, you, how can you bully a child?”
“That's right, you're trying to scam even a child. You're selling this broken rock for five spirit stones. You might as well just rob him!”
The surrounding people began to accuse the middle-aged man, causing his face to turn red and white.
Only the pain in his hand remained in his body. The middle-aged man felt the spiritual power in his body being drained, and his vision blurred.
Pfft ~
A mouthful of black blood spurted out of the middle-aged man's mouth, and a burning pain came from his throat, veins popping out on his forehead, and sweat pouring down.
But in the eyes of the crowd, the middle-aged man, apart from his ugly expression, seemed to be no different.
“Could this person have been poisoned by some kind of Gu technique?” Lin Yaoyao said from behind the crowd, covering her face with a hint of fear.
The crowd turned around and saw a woman in red gauze with a graceful figure. Although she was covering her face, she still couldn't hide her peerless beauty.
“It's really possible that it's Gu technique. I've seen this kind of thing, dying on the street for no reason,” said a black-clothed man with half-white hair in the crowd.
“Run!”
The crowd began to scatter, everyone afraid of being infected by Gu poison.
When only a few people were left in the market, the black-clothed man took off his hat, revealing himself to be Wang Xuan.
“Junior Brother Wang Xuan, why is it you?” Lin Yaoyao was a little stunned. She hadn't guessed that there would be a black-clothed man assisting.
“Senior Brother Xiaobai asked me to dress up. How is it, does it look like it?” Wang Xuan said with a smile.
“It looks like it, it looks like it,” Lin Yaoyao said, arching her eyebrows, feeling somewhat unconvinced that she had been deceived as well.
Xiaobai walked out at this time, looked around, “These stall owners are too generous, leaving so many things for us.”
Apart from Lin Yaoyao and Xiaoshan, the other disciples showed surprised expressions, and it took them a long time to understand Xiaobai's meaning.
Lin Yaoyao gently fanned her hand, and the middle-aged man fell to the ground and fainted.
She then gently injected a stream of spiritual power into his forehead, extracting the memories before he fainted.
“Okay, solved, let's take the things!” Lin Yaoyao said cheerfully.
“Okay… Okay, Senior Sister,” Xiaoqing, Wang Xuan, and the others responded.
They had experienced Lin Yaoyao's domineering and unreasonable style, but after Lin Yaoyao and Xiaobai worked together, this style was mixed with elements of cunning.
This was the first time they had witnessed it, and coupled with Xiaoshan's divine assistance, besides being helpless, there was also extreme comfort.
Soon, the resources in the market were swept away by them, including natural treasures, cultivation method manuals, and magical gadgets.
“Later, we'll find a place to sell the things we don't need, and use the remaining spirit stones for a good meal!” Lin Yaoyao said triumphantly.
