Yun Yuan looked ahead and saw the gray-robed man and the basket in front of him. Next to him was a woman in crimson robes looking for something in the basket.
"These are all things I collected near Fengming Mountain, especially this egg. It might even be a phoenix egg."
The woman took the egg and examined it carefully, and Yun Yuan's heart was in her throat.
After a while, the woman said disappointedly: "This is a dead egg. Do you have any other eggs?"
The grey-robed old man shook his head: "Just this one."
The woman put down the eggs and continued to search in the basket. Could it be that she had found the wrong person? But she remembered that Yun Yuan had bought her eggs here in her previous life.
Yun Yuan seized the opportunity, stepped forward and picked up the egg, her eyes sparkling.
"Stall owner, I want this egg. Name your price."
The woman was startled. She thought it was just an ordinary person who came to look at the stall, but unexpectedly she heard Yun Yuan's voice. Her surprise turned into panic, and she snatched the egg without saying a word.
His expression turned a bit ferocious due to his eagerness: "This is the egg I liked first!"
Yun Yuan had a mortal body, and when he was pushed by someone in the Jindan stage, his stomach felt churning and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Rong Xi didn't expect this to happen.
He knew this woman, Ran Nishang, the daughter of Elder Huofeng. She was capable and motivated, and would not hurt innocent people at will.
He hurried forward and used his spiritual power to heal Yun Yuan's wounds, and handed her a pill. There was a hint of anger in his eyes when he looked at Ran Nishang.
"You're pushing someone for just an egg. Don't you know she has no spiritual power?"
Ran Nishang was startled, but her hands holding the egg did not loosen but tightened instead.
He stammered, "Your Excellency, I was the first to see this egg. It's my chance, and I don't want to give it to anyone else."
She deliberately emphasized the word "opportunity". In the world of cultivation, stealing someone's opportunity is like killing their parents, both of which are unforgivable.
Yun Yuan's injuries improved a lot after taking the elixir. He was hit for no reason and was extremely angry.
"What's your chance? I saw you put this egg down and look for another one. Besides, you didn't pay any spirit stones, and you didn't express your intention to buy it to the stall owner. Why can't I buy it?"
After a debate, everyone around came over.
Most of the people in the sect market were from the sect. When they saw the elusive Reverend Rong Xi standing next to a woman, they all speculated about her identity.
Ran Nishang insisted that the egg was hers. It was Yun Yuan who interfered and was unwilling to hand over the egg: "In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected. You didn't pay any spirit stones. If I say the egg is mine, it is mine."
Yun Yuan: "Are you going to bully the weak?"
Ran Nishang: "If you don't accept it, don't come to the cultivation world. Get married and have children as soon as possible."
Yun Yuan was unhappy, and Rong Xi said, "According to this logic, if I say the egg is mine, then it belongs to me? Not just this egg, but everything in the market belongs to me. Everyone should stop trading."
Ran Nishang's face turned pale: "That's not what I meant."
The stall owner also recognized Reverend Rong Xi and, wanting to do him a favor, said, "The egg belongs to me. I'm willing to sell it to this woman."
The stall owner pointed at Yun Yuan, who held her head high like a victorious peacock and reached out to Ran Nishang, "Give me the egg."
Ran Nishang refused, because she knew that it was a phoenix egg, and a big reason why Yun Yuan was able to ascend to heaven was because of the help of the phoenix.
She didn't dare confront Rong Xi, so she mustered up the courage to tell the stall owner, "I want to compete fairly with her. The highest bidder wins."
Everyone admired Ran Nishang's courage and looked at Rong Xi.
Rong Xi said disdainfully: "Do you think your wealth can compare to mine?"
"Your Excellency, are you going to help her?" Ran Nishang said aggrievedly, "She is just a woman from the Lufu Palace who was bought to bear a child. I am a formal disciple of the Guiyi Sword Sect. Is Your Excellency really going to favor an outsider?"
"What? She was bought to give birth to a child?"
"No wonder I couldn't sense her spiritual power fluctuations. It turns out there isn't any."
"But I heard that the women in Lufu Palace also have cultivation skills. Could it be that they have been completely taken away..."
Several people were whispering to each other, and although they tried their best to hide it, they couldn't help but reveal some contempt.
Rong Xi rushed towards them with a fierce momentum. Those who were close to him knelt on the ground with their knees bent, spitting blood from their mouths, and looked at Rong Xi in horror.
"Your Excellency, please spare my life."
Rong Xi's dark purple pupils were extremely cold and deep. A chill ran through everyone's heart, and they trembled with fear. They were even extremely wary of Yun Yuan.
No one expected that a venerable master in the Tribulation Crossing Stage would protect a woman from Lufu Palace in this way, even at the cost of hurting the sect's disciples.
Wouldn't he feel that it was a loss of style?
Rong Xi said coldly, "I brought Yun Yuan back here. No matter what her previous status was, since I brought her into the sect, she will be my person from now on. If you slander her, you are slandering me."
"I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again." The person kneeling on the ground kowtowed in fear.
"Since you are younger than me, I won't bother with you today."
As Rong Xi withdrew his pressure, the kneeling people quickly ran away, leaving the others silent. They wanted to run away but were afraid that Rong Xi would think they were up to something, so they stayed and looked at Ran Nishang who was holding the egg tightly.
Ran Nishang bit her lips until they bled, and her heart was filled with resentment.
It turns out that Venerable Rong Xi had already sided with Yun Yuan during this period, but why? He worked so hard, why couldn't he be compared to a woman from Lufu Palace?
She insisted, "This is my chance. I want to compete fairly with her. The highest bidder wins."
The system was still in the egg and rolled its eyes when it heard this.
