Chen Xiao stared at Xi Yunting with eyes wide open. He said, "Since Xiaodi likes it, let me contribute as well."

Chen Xiao was touched by his kindness, but he wanted both, not all for himself. He said, "It's just right for each of us to make one, and this time we want the same style."

Xi Yunting's whole aura softened, and he said "OK" softly.

Tang Ru thought expressionlessly: Well, even the Taoist couple outfits for the ceremony are ready.

Tong Nuonuo was stunned at first, then realized, and finally frightened.

He stuttered, "When did you two become like this? How come I didn't know?!"

Chen Xiao withdrew his gaze from Xi Yunting and rolled his eyes at him: "I didn't hide it from you, it's just that you didn't see it."

Tong Nuonuo covered her head and tried hard to recall but could not come up with any clues.

The competition ended, the sun was setting, and the audience began to leave. After a while, the people from the Island Master's Mansion invited them to go downstairs. The competition between the two families has always been hosted and assisted by the Island Master's Mansion, and a portion of the spiritual beads earned will also be distributed to the Island Master's Mansion.

This is not only for fairness, but also to maintain their respective status. After all, no matter how strong and big they become, Qianxiufang and Wanjin Pavilion dare not go beyond the Island Master's Mansion. Their two families have plenty of money, but the Island Master's Mansion has countless masters.

The people around the platform had all dispersed, and the disciples of the two families seemed to have left as well. Only Shi Fengdu, Mu Jinrong and Hu Manniang were left on the platform.

Mu Jinrong said to them with a smile on his face: "Congratulations on winning these two pieces of material."

Xi Yunting nodded and said, "Congratulations to Master Mu for winning this competition."

Mu Jinrong glanced at Hu Manniang and said, "Although there were some twists and turns in the process, it was not in vain. I just feel sorry for Jinglan, who suffered a crime that he should not have suffered for nothing."

Hu Manniang's voice was very soft and gentle: "Haven't I already apologized to you? Why are you still holding on to me? Or do you want me to completely expel Zhen Ning from Wanjin Pavilion before you are satisfied?"

Mu Jinrong snorted and stroked the bun on the back of her head: "Forget it, I'm not such a petty person. You should keep your disciple Zhen Ning and train her well. Don't let her come out to harm others again."

Hu Manniang was in the wrong this time, so she could only bear it and said, "I will definitely discipline him strictly, so don't worry about it."

Shi Fengdu saw that the two men were arguing again and had to interrupt them. He smiled and said, "These two pieces of fabric belong to you. Do you want to order custom-made clothes or take the fabrics away directly? The winner of the auction can designate either of the two companies to tailor them."

Xi Yunting said: "In that case, let's not trouble two masters for one thing. Let Master Mu arrange it for us."

Mu Jinrong smiled again, and she said, "Thank you for your help this time. Let me make these two pieces myself." These two pieces of material are top-grade and only suitable for making formal Taoist robes. She designed the style herself to ensure that it is timeless and classic. "I just don't know what size it is?"

Xi Yunting hesitated. The two pieces of fabric were still on display. He moved over and Shi Fengdu made way. Xi Yunting took the piece with purple background and black pattern directly from the display stand, turned around and walked a few steps, raised his arm and shook his wrist to drape the fabric on Chen Xiao.

Xi Yunting took two steps back, and the smooth fabric slid down Chen Xiao's shoulders. He quickly raised his hand to hold it. Xi Yunting nodded with satisfaction: "It really suits Xiaodi."

Then he turned to Mu Jinrong and said, "Master Mu, please make this one according to the size you gave me last time, and the other one according to my size."

Mu Jinrong was already stunned by his actions. She said "Oh" for a long while, then realized her own misconduct and hurriedly said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Xi, leave this matter to me, I will definitely handle it properly."

After saying that, she turned her head and glanced at Shi Fengdu. The meaning was very clear, the reality was completely opposite to what Shi Fengdu had told her before.

Shi Fengdu coughed lightly in embarrassment. However, he was also a little confused. He felt that Xi Yunting's actions were a little bolder than he expected.

Little did he know that even the most generous people would become petty when it comes to their loved ones, not to mention that Xiaodi was stunned by the other person's appearance at that time. Faced with such a potential threat, Xi Yunting seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack. You know, some sovereignty must be clearly declared.

After the transaction, they made an appointment with Mu Jinrong to pick up the clothes three days later, and the four of them prepared to leave.

Tong Nuonuo felt a tightness in his chest, as if something was forced into him. He walked quickly with Tang Ru in front, away from the two people behind him who had given him too much stimulation today.

Because they were still at each other's place, Chen Xiao's voice was a little low. He leaned close to Xi Yunting and said, "Brother, do you think the relationship between Mu Jinrong and Hu Manniang is not as bad as the rumors say?"

Xi Yunting said: "Why do you have such an idea, Xiao brother?"

Chen Xiao said: "Although the two of them were arguing just now, there was no hostility at all. It was more like two people who were on good terms with each other, and no matter how badly they were said, they would not get angry."

Xi Yunting seemed to be thinking. After walking for a while, he said, "Perhaps the feud between Mu Jinrong and Hu Manniang is just a trick to deceive the world."

"Hmm?" Chen Xiao looked at him puzzledly, "What do you mean?"

"I remember that Qianxiufang and Wanjin Pavilion both have hundreds of years of history. Looking at the cultivation of these two people, they were still very young when they obtained the secret book of dyeing and weaving technology, and their cultivation might have been very low. Two young practitioners with low cultivation, or independent practitioners without backing, mastering a unique skill to make money, opening a unique money-making business, it is inevitable that they will attract covetousness." Xi Yunting said in a low voice.

"Brother Yinyue seems to have heard that before they split up, Mu Jinrong and Hu Manniang ran a store together. Later, for some unknown reason, they fell out and opened their own stores. I think, if there is no real hatred between the two, they must want to disperse the skills they master to protect themselves. From one store to two competing stores, if someone has any intentions, they will have to spend twice as much energy."

"Well, I understand. They are not putting all their eggs in one basket, but spreading the risk." Chen Xiao immediately understood the key point after hearing what Xi Yunting said. Monopoly is indeed envied by others, but if they split themselves into a competitive relationship, those jealous people will feel happy instead.

If someone else wants to take over the company with ill intentions, and doesn't want to confront both companies at once, then they must win over one of them. Once this side gets the news, it might be passed on to the other side immediately. The two companies secretly work together, no wonder they have developed to the current scale.

Chen Xiao said, "No wonder Hu Manniang scolded Zhen Ning so angrily after she found out that she had secretly used some tricks. She even brought Zhen Ning here to apologize during the break of the competition. I guess in her eyes, losing the competition is a small matter, and the real impact on the relationship between the two parties is the big deal."

Chen Xiao was inspired and quickly figured out the key. Then he looked at Xi Yunting with admiration. How could there be such a big difference between this person's brain and others'? He had relied on his experience before, but Xi Yunting relied on his own wisdom. Being looked at like this, Xi Yunting only felt that Chen Xiao was very cute, which made his heart beat fast.

The two walked slowly, and just reached the door. There was no one in the private room and the light was dim. Xi Yunting moved sideways, blocking Chen Xiao into the corner, and lowered his head to kiss his lips.

This deep kiss did not last too long, but it made Chen Xiao smile even when he returned to Linglang Valley.

They didn't have any other plans in the near future, so Xi Yunting suggested that they go to a small street behind Zuixian Winery where there were many businesses.

Although there are not many people in the world of immortal cultivation who like to collect antiques, there is no shortage of places to find treasures. Every moment, there are immortal cultivators who die. These people either die in training or in battles. After they die, the things on their bodies become ownerless. There are many practitioners who make a living by looking for such ownerless things. If they are lucky enough to find the remains of a deceased person above the out-of-body stage, it will be enough for them to cultivate for a long time.

Whatever these people found would be gathered in one place. Because the items were of different quality, expensive and cheap, the people in the cultivation world called such places "zashi".

This time, Xi Yunting suggested going to see a miscellaneous market.

After working in an antique shop for a while, Chen Xiao developed an interest in finding bargains on Taobao. Almost immediately, he agreed to go and see for himself.

But in the end, it wasn't just the two of them traveling together, but four people.

Tong Nuonuo knew that their relationship had changed, so he wisely didn't disturb their time together. He didn't intend to come here to act as a light bulb, but Chen Xiao remembered how Tong Nuonuo excitedly told him on the way that he could use the special characteristics of Feng Shui to find treasure when they left the royal city in Jingguo.

Therefore, he couldn't leave Tong Nuonuo behind no matter what. Besides, this time they weren't going to enjoy a world of two, so shopping on Taobao would naturally be crowded.

Tong Nuonuo was cautious at first, but soon became happy when he saw that Xi Yunting was not angry that they followed him. He began to tell Chen Xiao the legendary story of the miscellaneous market street on Yingxian Island.

"There are many cases on this street where people buy something at a low price for which they have no idea what it is used, but in the end, they find out that it is actually a magic weapon!"

Chen Xiao asked him curiously, "Since he specializes in this business, why can't the seller see that it is a magic weapon, and let others take advantage of it?"

Tang Ru laughed and said, "I can answer all of this for you. This is of course because there are so many types of magic weapons in the Heaven Realm World that it is impossible to be omniscient and omnipotent."

Tong Nuonuo nodded and said, "Yes, that's why sellers always make mistakes. This leads to a phenomenon where the goods in the market are mixed, and sellers are afraid of making mistakes and ask for inflated prices."

Tang Ru said: "Some people are lucky enough to not go out and practice and search, but think they can find magic weapons in the market, and end up losing everything."

Tong Nuonuo said with a smile: "However, Xiaoxiao knows Feng Shui, so there shouldn't be any loss."

Chen Xiao turned around and asked Xi Yunting: "Brother, have you ever been to the market before?"

Xi Yunting nodded and said, "Of course. Sometimes, if you can't find items in the shops, you can get them from the market by spending some money. Some people always have special channels. And sometimes, when it's inconvenient to show up, you can also sell some things of unknown origin in places like the market."

Chen Xiao understood immediately. This market was actually also a black market, selling stolen goods.

The life of an immortal cultivator is too long. No one dares to say that they will not use this gray area in the future. Xi Yunting also seized the opportunity to teach Chen Xiao.

This street is just behind Zuixian Winery, with rows of shops and small stalls next to each other. Chen Xiao looked at it suddenly and felt that it was similar to Panjiayuan and Liulichang.

Tong Nuonuo dodged a man carrying a large package and whispered to Chen Xiao, "People like this are exchanging things from all over Zhongtian Realm, selling and collecting at the same time, disposing of the old goods, and then carrying new goods to move to another place."

Chen Xiao is very familiar with this person. There are such baggage merchants everywhere.

The four of them entered a store, and Chen Xiao took a quick look. It can only be said that this is indeed a place for treasure hunting in the world of immortal cultivation, and he found a lot of things with obvious fluctuations.

Tang Ru was also very interested in the things here, and directly pulled Tong Nonuo over to help with reference. Chen Xiao stood in front of a shelf with Xi Yunting.

Chen Xiao looked at all kinds of reactions, vivid, faint, and obscure, but found nothing that interested him.

Unconsciously, Chen Xiao's horizons had broadened. It was no longer just a broken medicine cauldron, but daily necessities used by ancient immortal cultivators that could arouse his interest.

Like the antique shops, the shops here are also classified. However, they are divided into magic clothes, accessories, weapons, etc. However, it is different from looking at second-hand goods in a specialized equipment store. If you want to choose good things here, it is really a matter of eyesight and luck.

After visiting several stores, all they saw were either junk or exorbitant prices. Chen Xiao had no intention of buying anything, so he left immediately when faced with people treating him like a fool.

Until he walked into a small shop facing the intersection. Here, he found a piece of hard and rough bark. The fluctuations of this bark were so vivid and active that he could not ignore it. He had a hunch that this was not a simple bark. It was just that the seller asked for a price a few times before, so Chen Xiao was cautious and did not ask directly, but looked at the side instead.
