On this day, Lin Xiuyuan was about to go out to the market for rogue cultivators.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Liao Cai'er walking over.
"What's wrong? Did you run into some trouble?"
Lin Xiuyuan's expression hardened slightly, and the talisman he was holding in his sleeve tightened even more as he strode forward.
"It's nothing, why are you so nervous? I just haven't been out in a long time, so I'm going to go for a stroll in the outer city with you!"
Seeing Lin Xiuyuan's nervousness, as if he were about to face a formidable enemy, Liao Cai'er couldn't help but chuckle. She waved her hand and said this, but felt a slight warmth in her heart.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? The chaos in the market hasn't subsided; in fact, it seems to be escalating. It's safer to stay indoors!"
Liao Cai'er snorted, "If you can go, why can't I? Don't forget, if it really comes down to a fight, you might not even be my match. I dare to go, and I have the confidence to do so!"
"I recently broke through to the peak of the Innate Realm, and I'm not worried at all when facing cultivators at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining. With those talismans in hand, I can even put up a fight against cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining."
Seeing Liao Cai'er's resolute expression, Lin Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment before agreeing, guessing that Liao Cai'er was not just going for a stroll, but probably wanted to gather some information.
Stop refusing immediately; otherwise, the agonizing wait will only lead to wild thoughts and make things worse.
At this point, nearly half a year had passed since Liao Yong left the market...
"Alright then, take these talismans. Use them if things get dangerous, don't be stingy!"
As Lin Xiuyuan spoke, he took out several talismans and handed them over; they were all fireball talismans and ice arrow talismans.
"Let's go, let's wait for the main group on the street."
Liao Cai'er said, "Isn't that unnecessary? With so many talismans in your possession, plus my strength, we can just go straight there."
“No, it wasn’t so bad before, but the situation is a bit chaotic now. There have been accidents involving more than one or two people on their way to the market. You have to listen to me!” Lin Xiuyuan said.
Liao Cai'er pursed her lips, said it casually, and didn't insist any further, lest she suffer a greater loss for a small matter.
Zhou Fang's neighbors gathered on the street. The group was basically made up of people from the whole street. Sometimes there were ten or twenty people, and sometimes there were dozens of low-level cultivators.
When Lin Xiuyuan and his companion arrived, there were already quite a few people waiting.
The two joined in and waited quietly.
At this moment, a female cultivator walked over from the side. Her appearance was average, slightly above average. However, she was tall and dressed in revealing clothes, which added to her charm and made her stand out.
"Hey, isn't this Cai'er? It's rare to see her like this."
Liu Rong stepped forward and said kindly.
"Senior Liu Rong," Liao Cai'er greeted her casually.
But Liu Rong didn't seem to notice Liao Cai'er's coldness and continued to chat enthusiastically, only nodding to Lin Xiuyuan beside her.
Liao Cai'er felt somewhat helpless, but she had no choice but to go along with it, after all, one can't hit a smiling face.
At the same time, she couldn't help but glance at Lin Xiuyuan with a strange look in her eyes, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Liu Rong had been living in the bungalows on the outskirts of the market for many years. His aptitude was not high, or even very poor, only slightly better than Lin Xiuyuan. He possessed the talent of four spiritual roots.
However, her ability to cultivate all the way to the sixth level of Qi Refining, just a step away from the later stage, was due to her social skills and wide circle of friends. It is said that she has excellent relationships with many late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
Liu Rong once even fawned over her brother Liao Yong, trying to curry favor with him, but Liao Yong rarely paid her any attention.
Before this, when Lin Xiuyuan was still a teenager, she had already committed 'poisonous acts'.
When Lin Xiuyuan first arrived in the bungalow area, upon hearing that his parents were cultivators at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, they kept visiting them to build a closer relationship and inquire about their well-being.
However, Liao Yong saw this and repeatedly told him to back down; otherwise, Xiao Xiuyuan would have been 'controlled' by Liu Rong...
Later, as time passed, Lin Xiuyuan's parents remained missing, and it was almost certain that they had perished in the wild. She rarely went to look for Lin Xiuyuan anymore.
Every day when the team gathered, they would pretend not to see Lin Xiuyuan.
Seeing Liao Cai'er arrive, he wanted to take this opportunity to improve or even get closer to Liao Yong, so he came forward to greet her. After all, Liao Yong was the strongest person on this street, and he had a promising future, above-average aptitude, and even showed signs of Foundation Establishment!
Seeing that Liao Cai'er's attitude was rather cold and perfunctory, Liu Rong knew that haste makes waste, so after chatting for a few minutes, she tactfully left.
Soon, the team assembled and headed towards the outer city.
Along the way, everyone was vigilant and observed their surroundings. Fortunately, they did not encounter any danger and arrived safely at the market for scattered cultivators.
"I'm off, see you later."
Liao Cai'er greeted him and, without waiting for Lin Xiuyuan's response, hurriedly headed towards the outer city.
Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan did not try to dissuade them. Fighting was strictly forbidden within the outer city; even ordinary disciples of the Golden Sea Sect dared not violate it. This was the cornerstone of the market; without security, the North River Market would not be as prosperous as it is today!
Lin Xiuyuan did not go to the outer city immediately, but instead headed to the market for scattered cultivators. He was not in a hurry to buy anything this time. He would wait until he set up his stall to see how much he could sell before heading to the outer city to sell the rest.
"Sigh, things have gotten more and more chaotic lately. There are fights in my neighborhood in the middle of the night. A few days ago, a group of rogue cultivators were completely wiped out, not a single one left... Looks like I'll have to spend some money to move to the outer city, otherwise I won't be able to sleep peacefully!"
"Such chaotic signs should have disappeared soon, but they have lasted for several months. I wonder what happened to cause such a commotion."
"Xiuyuan, you're a beginner-level talisman master now. You should go to the outer city as soon as possible."
During their casual conversation, the two talked about the recent situation, and Old Xu couldn't help but sigh.
After learning about these circumstances, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but frown.
"This chaotic situation shows no signs of abating. It seems we'll have to move to the outer city. I need to have a serious talk with Cai'er later, otherwise, if something happens to her, I won't be able to explain it to Brother Yong!"
"I wonder how Yong-ge is doing. I hope everything is alright..."
What happened next made Lin Xiuyuan even more determined that no matter how much Liao Cai'er resisted, he was determined to move her to the outer city.
