Outside the Tianxing Inn, the woman in white robes watched this scene with a look of horror.

She couldn't understand why this human had managed to subdue two of the legendary human treasures, which were said to be only one that one person could subdue.

Moreover, the human race's supreme treasures are things born with heaven and earth, and they carry the inexplicable fortune of the human race. Generally speaking, only when the human race's fortune increases can these human race's supreme treasures be upgraded.

But now, in the hands of these people, these two human treasures have both been upgraded, leaping directly from the Earth Rank to the Heaven Rank.

"A Heavenly-Rank Human Emperor's Treasure. As a human, this person must already understand the special nature of this sword. No wonder he is unwilling to trade with me!"

"It seems I underestimated this human from the lower realm. I need to think of another way!"

The woman in white robes turned her eyes and vanished in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the thousands upon thousands of tribulation lightning bolts had already fallen.

However, under Su Bai's forceful suppression, they could only transform into streams of pure thunderous energy, flowing into the light cluster where Tian Qing and the other woman were located, to cleanse and temper their weapons.

Whoosh!

As the lightning dissipated, the sky returned to its original clarity.

As Su Bai lightly touched the ground with his toes and was about to leave, he noticed a little girl standing in the center of Tianxing City Square, gazing at him expectantly.

She was dressed in tattered, old clothes, holding a dirty bowl with a broken corner in her arms, and her hair was disheveled, looking like it hadn't been washed in a long time.

Upon seeing this, Su Bai frowned and then went to the little girl's side.

"Big brother, can you see me?"

Su Bai didn't understand, but he still nodded.

"Great, big brother, can you give me something to eat? I haven't eaten in so long. All these people can't see me, boohoo..."

The little girl clutched her stomach, on the verge of tears, and two lines of crystal-clear tears streamed down her face like free rain.

Su Bai didn't say anything, but took out a bag of potato chips, tore it open, and handed it to her.

The latter sniffed it, then took it and swallowed it whole, quickly finishing it off.

After finishing the food, she took a few more big bites of the packaging bag. When she realized that the packaging bag was inedible, she turned it over and kept licking it.

Seeing this, Su Bai handed over another bag of biscuits.

The little girl stared longingly at the bag of cookies, wanting to take it, but after glancing at Su Bai, she shook her head and took a step back.

"Thank you, big brother, but I'm already full."

"Eat."

Su Bai put the biscuits into the little girl's bowl.

"Um... thank you, big brother."

The little girl looked at the cookies in the bowl with delight, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

At the same time, she politely bowed to Su Bai.

"Ah, so this is where you are, young master! I've been looking for you for so long!"

At that moment, a joyful voice came from the side.

Su Bai turned his head and saw the white-robed woman from before, carrying the long sword that shimmered with seven-colored light, running towards him.

As soon as Fang approached, the sword sensed Su Bai's presence and trembled violently.

"What's wrong?" Su Bai frowned slightly.

"It is like this, young master. I am a merchant. I thought you didn't know the value of a treasure, so I planned to exchange this sword in my hand for the Emperor's Sword in your hand."

"Unexpectedly, the young master remained true to his heart, not only calling his sword his partner, but also willingly giving up this precious sword that was beneficial to his own path for her sake. It is also unexpected that the young master could, with his own strength, make these two human treasures advance."

"Such methods are truly extraordinary. Therefore, to express my disrespect to you, young master, I, Ji Ruojun, am willing to present this sword to you, just to make friends with you."

That's all.

Ji Ruojun raised her hands, bent slightly at the waist, and presented the sword to Su Bai.

“I already said I have partners,” Su Bai shook his head.

“Young master, you are unwilling to accept this sword because you already have a companion. However, I have never taken back anything I have given you.”

"There is a compromise, which is to fuse this sword into your Emperor Sword. In this way, your Emperor Sword will have the characteristics of this sword, which will benefit your swordsmanship without changing its own characteristics."

"What do you think, young master?"

This was the first time Su Bai had ever heard of such a miraculous feat: to fuse one sword into another, allowing the latter to acquire the former's attributes without altering its own characteristics.

The immense temptation of imbuing the Zhuxian Sword with one's own sword intent, making it more aligned with one's own will, naturally stirred Su Bai's heart.

But after thinking it over, he still refused.

"Young Master, why is this?" Ji Ruojun asked with a surprised expression.

"I don't like owing people money."

"So that's how it is. I was wondering what you were worried about, young master. Since you don't like owing me anything, just give me something in return."

"It doesn't have to be too precious. I like to collect strange and unusual things from all over the world. As long as I haven't seen them before, they're fine."

Ji Ruojun smiled.

Upon hearing this...

Su Bai frowned, then took out a pack of cigarettes.

"Hmm, what is this?"

Ji Ruojun had obviously never seen this before, and she became interested in it for a moment.

She took the cigarette from Su Bai's hand and examined it by turning it over in her hand.
