At a glance, you can tell that even without a person, they are still just a person.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that most people in the venue maintained a subtle distance, and the martial artists walked in completely different postures depending on their cultivation level.

Martial artists above the Divine Tribulation Realm stride confidently, while those with slightly weaker cultivation levels look around cautiously. The most humble among them are mortals, who can only make way for martial artists and occasionally have to endure their disdain and contempt.

"The Endless Sea has always looked down on mortals. When I was a child and before I started cultivating, I suffered a lot at the hands of mortals."

Ye Lingya's expression was somewhat somber when he talked about this matter.

“My parents died early, and I grew up eating food from everyone in the village. I still remember a martial artist who accidentally entered our village. He was only at the Spirit Realm level and his talent was terrible, but the whole village served him respectfully for several years. Even if the martial artist made the most outrageous request, the village chief did not dare to refuse.”

The memory stirred up unpleasant feelings, and Ye Lingya quickly shook his head.

"Sorry, I just suddenly remembered."

Shen Xiaohong empathized with him and patted him on the shoulder.

Lin Feng didn't have time to listen to Ye Lingya's tragic story. He searched around the stalls and soon his gaze settled on a very simple-looking stall.

The stall owner was blind, and all he had in front of him was a tattered gray cloth with some very poor-quality medicinal herbs on it. Not to mention customers, even pickpockets wouldn't bother to steal them.

Beside the medicinal herb, there was a jade pendant of moderate size, with a simple water flow pattern carved on it.

"Boss, how much of this do you want?"

Lin Feng didn't specify which one, but the stall owner seemed to be able to see it and answered in a hoarse voice, "Five hundred top-grade sea stones."

"Um?"

Mo Ye narrowed his eyes, thinking it was another case of someone maliciously inflating the price.

Shen Xiaohong frowned and asked, "What is the purpose of this thing?"

"Cough cough... I don't know."

This stall owner was quite extraordinary; although his voice wasn't loud, Lin Feng and his companions could clearly hear it even in the noisy environment.

"You don't even know what it's good for, so how dare you sell it for such a high price?"

Ye Lingya became somewhat curious, but he wasn't bold enough to dare to snatch things from Lin Feng.

The stall owner chuckled, but his hoarse voice made the laughter sound rather unpleasant.

"Although I don't know the effects of this item, it is a treasure that I obtained from a heritage at the risk of my life. I think the reason I couldn't activate its wonders is because I am not destined to have it. That's why I set up a stall here, hoping to find someone with the right affinity. This young master was able to spot this jade pendant at first glance among the dazzling array of goods, and even asked me about the price. He must be the person I have been looking for. If you are sincere, I can reduce the price by fifty pieces of top-grade sea stone and only charge you four hundred and fifty pieces."

Mo Ye shook his head.

"Something like this isn't even worth a low-grade sea stone."

"That depends on whether this young master wants to buy it."

The stall owner said with a smile. Lin Feng tossed him a storage ring without hesitation.

"Brother Lin?"

"Young Master?"

Of the group, only Ling Hong did not try to dissuade them. She stared intently at the jade pendant, a hint of doubt flashing in her clear eyes.

Such pure spiritual energy! Was it just her imagination?

There seems to be some kind of magical artifact hidden inside...

Moreover, it's a magic artifact of a fairly high grade.

However, the aura was too weak. As a sword spirit, she was naturally born from heaven and earth and possessed the most spiritual energy. Her sensitivity to spiritual energy was also the most acute. Even so, it took her some time to detect the pure spiritual energy in the jade pendant.

As expected of the young master, he recognized this item as extraordinary with just one glance.

"It's alright. I think this thing is quite interesting. I might as well buy it and take a look at it."

"Young master, you are truly a person of destiny."

The stall owner accepted the sea stone with a smile.

"To be honest, I was originally at the third level of the Divine Soul Realm and was the leader of a powerful force. My eyes and my cultivation were damaged while exploring that extremely dangerous inheritance. After my cultivation level dropped, the force I founded also began to split and eventually came to an end... Sorry, I've said too much. Such things are not uncommon in the Endless Sea, are they?"

The stall owner chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to put your mind at ease. I believe that the item brought out from that inheritance is no ordinary thing, but whether you can activate its internal mechanisms depends on your skills."

"By the way, these spiritual herbs I brought aren't anything valuable, so please take them with you, young master. I'll go to the nearby noodle shop for a bowl of noodles to fill my stomach."

The stall owner rubbed his emaciated belly, apparently because he was broke and hadn't eaten for several days.

His cultivation level had fallen to such a level that he could no longer abstain from grains and could only rely on food to maintain his bodily functions.

Seize the key opportunity for the protagonist and receive 5000 Destiny Points!

As the system notification sounded, Lin Feng probed the jade pendant with his divine sense.

The jade pendant instantly became extremely hot.

"Brother Lin, could there really be some hidden secret here?"

Shen Xiaohong couldn't help but feel curious, but after looking at it from left to right, he couldn't find anything special about the jade pendant.

Ye Lingya stared intently at the jade pendant. For some reason, he had felt his heart pounding since the beginning, as if something bad was about to happen. After Lin Feng obtained the jade pendant, the bad premonition became even stronger.

After a while, Lin Feng raised his head.

Splash!

Ripples appeared in the air, and a spear formed from solidified water appeared in his hand.

"This is--"

Shen Xiaohong's eyes widened.

"What an amazing magical artifact! No... this can practically be called a celestial artifact! It's truly a wonderful thing!"

Ye Lingya stared intently, not blinking.

He was just missing a suitable magical weapon, and this spear was the perfect fit.

For a moment, he even considered giving Lin Feng four hundred and fifty top-grade sea stones to buy the spear.

Lin Feng pretended not to see his expression and nodded with a smile: "Indeed, it's not bad."

"But Brother Lin probably won't need it, right?"

Shen Xiaohong frowned and said.

"Indeed, although I don't need it, it's still pretty good as food for Xiaobai."

As he spoke, Lin Feng summoned Little White.

Snore...

Not far away, a black figure stared in this direction, revealing sharp fangs.

"Brother Lin, can this spirit beast eat magical artifacts?"

Ye Lingya was dumbfounded.

Even if it were possible to consume magical artifacts, wouldn't that be too extravagant?

How much wealth must one have to support this!

Under his astonished gaze, Xiaobai suddenly swallowed the water-rippled spear.

At the same time, a black figure suddenly crashed into Lin Feng's arms.

He lowered his head and met the eyes of a small beast with pure black fur but only whites in its eyes.
