Ye Feng slept incredibly well.
He was brought back by someone, then stripped naked and thoroughly inspected.
Then every day I would use a cleansing treatment to refresh myself, followed by meticulous wiping of every nook and cranny.
He strongly suspected that the other party was using the medical examination as a pretext for revenge.
Unbeknownst to him, the trust between him and these women had reached a very deep level... to the point where he could let them manipulate him and still sleep peacefully.
He slept for three days and three nights.
I opened my eyes, got out of bed, stretched, and felt incredibly refreshed.
The first thing I look at when I wake up is the control panel.
During the months Ye Feng was away, the sect's pill pavilion provided nearly ten thousand trading points, but once he sold all the pills he refined himself, the profits weren't as high.
"Trading points +200, Unnamed Marketplace Revenue"
Huh, is the market already linked? There's still sales revenue, does that mean someone else is coming?
Just then, the information panel refreshed again.
"Trading points +1500, Unnamed Marketplace Revenue"
Ye Feng immediately went outside, his gaze sweeping over the market town at the foot of the mountain.
In the once quiet market, more than ten people were gathered in front of a shop.
They actually opened a shop!
"Senior! You're awake!"
Mu Yufeng, dressed in a green dress, looked at Ye Feng with a surprised and delighted expression.
"How are they?"
Ye Feng was asking about the people who were injured that day.
"He is still a little weak, but not in mortal danger."
Ye Feng nodded, extended his divine sense, and quickly located the room where the group was. He then went directly there and used the Azure Lotus to aid in the treatment.
Mu Yufeng recounted recent events to him from the side.
The cultivator who was previously sealed by Ye Feng was executed by the women because they were worried he would recover while Ye Feng was unconscious.
After Ye Feng was carried back, the women collected the belongings scattered throughout the mountains.
When storage equipment is damaged, most items are pulled and destroyed by spatial forces or fall into spatial vortexes, but the remaining small portion still covers half the mountain. The magic robe worn by Mu Yufeng was also found in this way.
The women searched for a full day and night before finally collecting the items, sustaining some injuries in the process while gathering the scattered black sand.
Fortunately, these black sands were uncontrolled, and I recovered using the collected healing medicine.
In addition, they found an intact ring and a magic gourd.
According to the Black Cloud Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators who were previously killed, they had robbed three nearby markets and were on their way to Zhangjia Market when they happened to pass by here, which led to these events.
Then yesterday, because of the explosion, some independent cultivators who lived not far from here came looking for the noise and discovered this place.
Yang Dan, Fang Xue, and the others are currently downstairs greeting the arriving rogue cultivators.
Some wanted to rent shop space, while others wanted to open cave dwellings nearby.
Others directly asked if the market was still hiring.
Although there are no formations in this market... there is a Golden Core expert here!
Moreover, he was a Golden Core expert who could kill another Golden Core cultivator and force him to self-destruct.
"Senior, should I go and call Sister Dan back first?"
Seeing that Ye Feng had finished his treatment, Mu Yufeng asked him a question.
Not needed for now.
The lack of a protective formation allowed these two Black Cloud Sect cultivators to find them, nearly resulting in their annihilation.
Now that even rogue cultivators have come looking for help, setting up the array is no longer a matter of urgency.
With this thought in mind, Ye Feng soared into the air, and the surrounding mountains and terrain appeared in his mind like a three-dimensional painting.
A Golden Core cultivator's influence typically encompasses a radius of nearly one hundred kilometers. Since I am only a Foundation Establishment cultivator who can barely rival a Golden Core cultivator, and I don't have any capable subordinates, I might as well draw a circle with a diameter of ten kilometers!
———
The reception hall in the city center.
"Manager Yang, we've come here sincerely to rent the shop, but you won't even let us see the manager. Isn't that... a bit impolite?"
"That's right, you few at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining expect us to pay? Do you even have the power to protect us?"
"The market doesn't even have any protective formations, how can we guarantee everyone's safety?"
"Could it be that you just happened to run into two Golden Core cultivators fighting here, and you deliberately took them over?"
...
Hearing what the others said, the others began to whisper among themselves.
The person who had already paid also hesitated, his eyes darting around, as if he wanted to get a refund.
Yang Dan was also helpless in this situation.
Ye Feng hasn't woken up yet, and even if he does, he might not care about what's going on here...
"The owner of the market is currently busy with other matters and cannot meet with you at the moment. If you wish to rent a shop, you can proceed with the formalities directly. If you do not wish to, we will not force you."
Yang Dan ignored the gossip and spoke directly.
"Won't force me? Hmph, with just a few women like you?"
The speaker, a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, was already quite impatient. A wooden house without even a single array was charging 1,500 spirit stones!
"So what if you're a woman? We built this house, we created this place. If you don't want to stay here, you're free to leave."
Fang Xue, who was standing to the side, walked forward without any hesitation.
Although everyone else was at the sixth to eighth level of Qi Refining, she was not afraid at all.
"We'll leave on our own? Sorry, we've taken a liking to this place. If it's not too much trouble, please move. As for the house you repaired, I'll give you a thousand yuan as compensation."
As he spoke, he looked at Fang Xue with a sinister gaze.
"I advise those ungrateful women that there are quite a few cultivators in this world who are most attracted to women with low cultivation levels but some beauty..."
"you...!"
Fang Xue angrily pointed at the other person, but Yang Dan stopped her. Her fingernails dug into her palms until they bled, but she dared not retaliate.
Her cultivation level was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Even before she fell, she wouldn't have been able to face the provocation of so many people.
Seeing Yang Dan and the other person's helpless expression, the man let out a mocking snort, then turned to look around.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll take over the market town. I hereby declare that the rent for the shops in the market town will only be five hundred years."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
"Also, you have to pay rent for the two shops you sell things in. Considering the repair costs I owe you, we'll offset them against each other, so there won't be any additional charges. Now, we need to discuss business in this hall, so please leave!"
As he spoke, the man stepped forward, staring intently at Yang Dan, gesturing for her to move aside.
The atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense.
Yang Dan wore a mid-grade magic robe, and her storage pouch at her waist contained a top-grade magic sword. Thanks to the unique characteristics of the Azure Cloud Qi Refining Technique, her magical power was profound, far surpassing that of rogue cultivators. Even if this person was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, she remained completely unafraid.
A fight would inevitably damage the houses, and then all everyone's hard work would be wasted...
Just then, a person came running in from outside in a panic.
"Boss Chen, something bad has happened... You... You need to look outside!"
Boss Chen was confronting Yang Dan when he heard his subordinates shouting. He showed a displeased expression and then walked outside.
A thin film glowing white light was rising in the sky from all directions. When the crowd came out, they saw the film close up in the sky above the market, then emit two colorful ripples before disappearing.
"My God! The battle has begun!"
"Judging by the area it covers, it should be a level two grand formation! A level two grand formation capable of defending against Golden Core cultivators!!"
