The shopkeeper was almost seeing stars. You see, although this painting is a spatial magic artifact, the laws within it are not perfect. Its storage space is only slightly larger than an ordinary storage bag, and it cannot store living things.

Therefore, strictly speaking, this painting is equivalent to the effect of a storage bag, and a storage bag is only worth a few low-grade immortal crystals.

But now this handsome young man in front of me is going to spend a million low-grade immortal crystals to buy it. Isn't this the legendary sucker?

However, when the shopkeeper saw Hua Qingyue next to Chen Tianwen, he understood. Wasn't spending a fortune to win a smile from a beauty a clear sign of being a sucker?

If Chen Tianwen knew that he was just a sucker in the shopkeeper's eyes, he would definitely go berserk.

Chen Tianwen could clearly sense the power of the laws of Immortal Lord Shenbi contained within the painting. Although these laws were useless to other cultivators, they were a great supplement to enhance the strength of Hua Qingyue, who shared the same origin!

It's even possible that Hua Qingyue could directly inherit a portion of Shenbi Immortal Lord's power of law from the painting.

Therefore, Chen Tianwen felt that spending 10,000 mid-grade immortal crystals was worthwhile!

But Chen Tianwen's actions now made Cang Mo feel extremely insulted.

Cang Mo originally thought that with his Celestial Immortal strength, his status in Bu Huo City, and his high price of 40,000 low-grade immortal crystals, he could at least leave a deep impression on the beauty, if not win her heart directly.

Now, things have gotten even worse. Chen Tianwen has raised the price to a level I can't afford, making me a laughingstock in the eyes of the beauty.

In fact, Cang Mo was completely overthinking it, because Hua Qingyue had no impression of him at all. No matter how lively he was, Hua Qingyue only had Chen Tianwen in her eyes!

Cang Mo grew angrier the more he thought about it, and pointed at Chen Tianwen's nose, saying:

"Kid, you're asking for trouble, you know that? I don't believe you can come up with 10,000 mid-grade immortal crystals. You're just bluffing."

As Cang Mo spoke, he turned to the shopkeeper and said:

"Shopkeeper, if he can't come up with ten thousand mid-grade immortal crystals today, I'll take care of it for you and send this blind brat to the city lord's mansion to be severely punished for disturbing public order!"

Chen Tianwen ignored Cang Mo's powerless roar and instead instructed the shopkeeper to take down the scroll. He then went to the counter to pay for the immortal crystals.

However, the shopkeeper was afraid of Cang Mo's power and also somewhat doubtful that Chen Tianwen could really produce 10,000 mid-grade immortal crystals, so the shopkeeper stood still without making a move.

Seeing the shopkeeper's fear of his power, Cang Mo couldn't help but jump up again and said:

"You brat, can't you produce that many mid-grade immortal crystals? Fine, if that's the case, then come with me to the City Lord's Mansion to confess your sins!"

As Cang Mo spoke, he reached out to pull Chen Tianwen away. Chen Tianwen sighed inwardly, thinking to himself:

"Am I really that easy to bully?"

Seeing that Cang Mo was about to make a move, Chen Tianwen naturally wouldn't let him get away with it. But just as Chen Tianwen was about to teach Cang Mo a lesson, he heard a loud shout:

"Stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome young man dressed in white parted the crowd and walked up to Chen Tianwen and his companions.

The handsome young man calmly glanced at the crowd around him, his gaze lingering almost imperceptibly on Hua Qingyue for a few more moments, a fleeting glint of greed in his eyes.

All of this naturally did not escape Chen Tianwen's eyes, but Chen Tianwen did not rush to make a move. He watched the suddenly appearing young man and saw what he was going to do.

"Master Mi!"

To everyone's surprise, Cang Mo immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing the newcomer, showing none of his previous arrogance.

The shopkeeper looked at the newcomer with suspicion. A person who could command such respect from Cang Mo must be a prominent figure in Bu Huo City, but this young man seemed completely unfamiliar.

The person who came was Mi Qing from the Mi Yun Sect. Ever since he reached an agreement with the city lord Bu Qiang, he has frequently visited the city lord's mansion and his status is almost on par with the city lord. As the city lord's right-hand man, Cang Mo naturally knows Mi Qing.

That's why Cang Mo was so respectful to Mi Qing.

"Young Master Cang, fighting is strictly prohibited in Bu Huo City!"

Mi Qing spoke politely, but her words were unquestionable. Cang Mo dared not refute her and repeatedly agreed.

Then Mi Qing spoke to Chen Tianwen:

"Fellow Daoist, when buying items, it is important to ensure that the money and goods are exchanged in full. Please do not make jokes and deliberately disrupt other people's business."

Mi Qing's tone remained polite, and he did not show any disdain for Chen Tianwen, who was at the Earth Immortal realm. This made Chen Tianwen look at this person with higher regard.

Although Chen Tianwen could tell at a glance that Mi Qing was no good, at least compared to Cang Mo, Mi Qing was a more formidable villain.

Chen Tianwen had known an old saying since childhood: "A dog that bites doesn't bark," and Mi Qing was a perfect example of that saying.

"You brat, this sir is an inner disciple of the Mi Yun Sect, Lord Mi Qing, whose strength has reached the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm. If you can't produce these immortal crystals today, I will make you regret ever coming to Bu Huo City!"

Cang Mo pointed at Chen Tianwen's nose again and said that Chen Tianwen was also a little angry at Cang Mo for pointing at his nose twice and making a gesture of impotent rage.

"Smack!"

A heavy slap landed on Cang Mo's face, sending him flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground. With a "pfft," he spat out a mouthful of blood, and upon closer inspection, it was clear that one of his front teeth had been knocked out.

Everyone present was shocked. They never expected that Chen Tianwen would actually dare to make a move in the city. Wasn't he afraid of the city lord's wrath?

What shocked people the most was that no one, including Mi Qing, saw how Chen Tianwen made his move. With just one slap, a terrestrial immortal made a celestial immortal vomit blood.

Mi Qing gave Chen Tianwen a meaningful look, showing no intention of standing up for Cang Mo. She snorted coldly, turned around, and left with her men.

Before leaving, Mi Qing couldn't help but take a deep look at Hua Qingyue. To Mi Qing's surprise, Hua Qingyue seemed too calm when Chen Tianwen slapped Cang Mo away.

They didn't even show a trace of emotion, as if they thought everything was perfectly normal.

Mi Qing walked to Cang Mo's side, pulled Cang Mo up from the ground, and then Cang Mo's underlings helped him leave with Mi Qing.

Chen Tianwen glanced at Mi Qing's back and his eyes narrowed.

This person is indeed extraordinary. Faced with such provocation, he did not react on the spot. The most terrifying people are those who can remain calm!
