Jiang Yuan turned around and saw the person who was mocking him. It was a middle-aged man wearing a short-sleeved shirt that revealed his tattooed arms.

"Ignore him!" Ning Yanlan already knew that there were all sorts of people here, and it would be too much trouble to deal with them one by one.

Jiang Yuan also turned around and ignored the man with the tattooed arm.

This action made the man with the tattooed arm feel a little embarrassed. Some people just want to show off their presence, and the man with the tattooed arm was one of them.

"I'm talking to you guys, are you all deaf?" the tattooed man said viciously, his tone full of vulgarity.

Jiang Yuan stopped abruptly and said in a deep voice, "It's not good if some people take an inch and then a mile!"

Ning Yanlan glanced at the other party's arrogant demeanor and gritted her teeth, saying, "Don't go looking for trouble!"

"Who said I came here to cause trouble!" The tattooed man laughed, because he felt that others were also watching him, and he particularly enjoyed this kind of attention.

"So what do you want to do?" Jiang Yuan turned around and walked towards the tattooed man, stopping when they were only a meter apart.

The tattooed man grabbed Jiang Yuan's shoulder and sneered, "Want to be friends? What do you say?"

Jiang Yuan's expression darkened, and the energy particles slowly gathered towards his arm. However, this time it wasn't all the energy particles like at the top of the tower, but only a small portion. But because it was only a small portion, it allowed Jiang Yuan to gather the energy particles more quickly.

"Yeah?"

Jiang Yuan just managed to grab the wrist of the tattooed man who was reaching out, and then burst forth with particles of energy.

"Damn it!" The tattooed man's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't even control his outburst.

"Click!"

That was the crisp sound that only comes from a cracked wrist bone. With a single squeeze, Jiang Yuan directly cracked the wrist bone of the tattooed man.

The tattooed man used all his strength to pull his hand back, then rolled on the ground in a cold sweat.

"Sorry, I don't make friends with the weak!" Jiang Yuan said, then turned and left.

The tattooed man felt immense pain and humiliation, especially from the mockery of the onlookers. He gritted his teeth, drew his dagger, and unexpectedly stabbed Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan had been preparing to deal with the tattooed man's sneak attack, but he didn't expect Ning Yanlan to be even faster than him. A whirlwind cannon grazed past him and blasted towards the tattooed man.

The tattooed man, who hadn't taken two steps, was hit by a blast and immediately lost consciousness, his body covered in blood.

"A third-tier strength-type user, and he's so blind!" Jiang Yuan shook his head and said calmly.

“It’s normal. Some people in this world get arrogant after suddenly becoming more than ten times stronger. This guy is a typical example!” Ning Yanlan glanced at the tattooed man.

"Isn't fighting prohibited in the trading area?" This was Jiang Yuan's only concern.

"As long as no one died!" Ning Yanlan adjusted her baseball cap. "Let's go, let's go explore our own space."

The two men left, while the tattooed man who had been causing trouble lay there bleeding.

"The tattooed dragon has been collecting protection money everywhere because of his third-level cultivation. He's finally met his match!" someone at a stall sneered.

"That couple is quite remarkable. Although the man doesn't show any energy, he can crack the wrist bone of the tattooed dragon with a single squeeze, which means he must be incredibly strong and have exceptional hand skills. And the woman, her spiritual energy fluctuations have reached the fourth level, and such pure spiritual energy is truly rare!" another person at a stall exclaimed.

"Look, that man and woman are coming towards our stall!"

"Boss, how do you trade these items?"

A gentle male voice rang out from in front of the stall; it was Jiang Yuan.

The boss was a man in his thirties with a head of fluffy hair.

"We only support barter and exchange of Holy Spirit Stones!" the man said.

The items that can be obtained from the core are all sorts of strange things, and not everything that comes out of the core will be useful to you. The items that you can't use can only be traded.

"What kind of skill is this?" Jiang Yuan was the first to pick up the skill orb that looked the most valuable on the stall.

"It's a psionic skill, a Tier 3 Fire and Thunder Prison!" The man immediately stated the price. "If I weren't a strength-based user, I wouldn't be willing to sell this skill. This Fire and Thunder Prison was obtained from a Tier 3 mithril core. It's not worth less than twenty Tier 3 Holy Spirit Stones!"

"Do you want it?" Jiang Yuan asked Ning Yanlan.

Ning Yanlan's current skills are somewhat outdated. The small fireball is a first-tier fire spell, which, although a universal skill for psionic beings, is no longer powerful enough. As for the Gale Cannon, it's only a third-tier wind spell, insufficient to unleash Ning Yanlan's strongest psionic power.

The peak value of a skill is closely related to its grade. The peak value of a first-grade fireball is the same for third-grade and fourth-grade psionic skills. The only difference is that the psionic energy of the fourth-grade psionic skill is purer and more powerful than that of the third-grade skill.

Generally, psionicists would not refuse higher-level spells.

But is Ning Yanlan a typical psionic type? Obviously not!

"I don't want to!" Ning Yanlan shook her head and refused.

"It's a bit expensive, but it's fine!" Jiang Yuan thought Ning Yanlan was trying to bargain after listening to his previous words.

"Fire magic isn't for me, I want to find some ice magic to use!" Ning Yanlan whispered in Jiang Yuan's ear.

"Uh!" Jiang Yuan felt a pang of guilt. He had always thought that Ning Yanlan didn't care what attribute of skill she used, but he had forgotten that Ning Yanlan currently only had the ice attribute, and using skills of other attributes would only weaken her combat power.

"And it is indeed a bit expensive!" Ning Yanlan muttered softly.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

The conversion between Holy Spirit Stones is calculated based on the energy points contained within them, just like the realm, where the conversion is doubled.
