The old man laughed heartily, his brows relaxing beneath the mask. "Yes, the lowest price for the items on my stall is indeed 100,000 spirit stones, but money can't buy my happiness. It's fate that we met, young lady. You have excellent taste, and I greatly admire your judgment. So, I'll sell you this egg for three spirit stones."
Ji Jiuying pondered for a moment before finally accepting his kindness.
He handed the three spirit stones to the old man, saying, "Thank you."
"No need for thanks, we each got what we needed, and I've completed my task by selling the goods." The old man yawned after saying this, "See you again, young lady."
The old man waved his sleeve, and everything on the stall vanished into thin air. His figure also gradually blurred and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Instantly, it caused a stir.
Upon seeing this, Ji Jiuying quickly left and disappeared around the street corner.
"I never expected this old man to be such a master. What kind of movement technique is that? It's so unpredictable."
"Looking back now, that old man was quite extraordinary; the things he sold must have been..."
"So that means..."
Thinking of this, many people in the crowd revealed greedy eyes.
Swish, swish, swish.
Everyone looked at the spot where Ji Jiuying had been standing, but she was nowhere to be seen.
However, a few people still noticed her departure.
Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold smile curving her lips beneath the fox mask.
The evil fire in the space was startled by the egg that Ji Jiuying threw into it! "Such a powerful aura and pressure."
"A beast egg? Could it be that this stupid woman thought I, Lord of Evil Fire, was too bored and specially sent it to me to relieve my boredom?"
“That’s right~” Ji Jiuying lied to Xie Huo without any guilt.
Ji Jiuying ignored the little tail following her and continued to stroll leisurely. Before long, she had collected a large number of various spiritual herbs from the stalls.
"Huh? This is Amethyst Mushroom?" This spiritual herb, which grows deep in the cave, is the main ingredient for refining Amethyst Pills.
The Purple Crystal Pill can enhance a cultivator's mental and spiritual power.
"How much is this medicinal herb?" Ji Jiuying asked as she approached the stall.
"One hundred spirit stones."
Ji Jiuying handed it directly to the stall owner, picked up the Purple Crystal Mushroom, and was about to leave.
A domineering female voice rang out, "I want this spiritual herb."
Two women and a man walked slowly towards them, and the one who had just spoken was the woman in white who was in the middle.
"Didn't you hear my master speaking to you?" the woman in green behind Ji Jiuying shouted.
Ji Jiuying gave a cold laugh and retorted without any politeness, "Hey lady, are you talking to me?"
"You—" The woman in green was about to say something when a sharp glint flashed in the almond-shaped eyes of the woman in white, who was at the head of the group, behind her mask. "Yes, Master."
"Shopkeeper, I can buy the Purple Crystal Mushroom for double the price, what do you think?" The woman in white stepped forward with a smile and asked.
The elixir was all in her hands, and the woman in white clearly didn't take her seriously. Ji Jiuying thought to herself, "Let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve."
Her deliberately soft voice sounded like ice and jade striking each other, incredibly beautiful and clear.
"This..." Although he also wanted to sell more spirit stones, judging from the situation, neither group seemed easy to deal with, so he had no choice but to pass the buck to Ji Jiuying, "This young lady has already paid, the Purple Crystal Mushroom is already hers..."
"This old bastard! I've already said so much, and he still doesn't know what's good for him!" Jun Luoli suppressed her anger, softened her tone, and tried to reason with Ji Jiuying, "Miss, I'll buy the Purple Crystal Mushroom from you at double the price. Would you be willing to part with it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman and man in green behind her surrounded her. Ji Jiuying sneered inwardly, "Do they think they can force me like this?"
"No, please move aside," Ji Jiuying said coldly.
Jun Luoli couldn't sense Ji Jiuying's spiritual energy and mistakenly thought she was just an ordinary pharmacist without spiritual power.
"Three hundred spirit stones, young lady, greed knows no bounds," said the woman in white.
Jun Luoli thought that people like Ji Jiuying were just trying to get more spirit stones by pulling this stunt.
"Are you out of your mind or deaf and can't understand human language? I'll say it again, I'm not selling."
Jun Luoli's cold gaze shifted, a glint of cold light shooting out as she stared directly at Ji Jiuying with a clear and sharp look.
"You wretch, I advise you not to offend someone you shouldn't offend for the sake of such a rare herb. Otherwise, you might die without even knowing how you died," the woman in green said fiercely.
Ji Jiuying wasn't easily intimidated. She toyed with the amethyst mushroom in her hand. "Fine? Since you really want it so badly~"
Jun Luoli raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes filled with a hint of contempt as she looked at Ji Jiuying.
"One thousand spirit stones."
“You…” Jun Luoli stared at Ji Jiuying with eyes full of anger, as if she wanted to burn a ball of flame and devour the person in front of her into ashes. How dare this bitch play tricks on her.
"Can't afford it? Then get lost." Ji Jiuying didn't back down either. Their eyes met unexpectedly in the air, colliding suddenly as if swords were clashing.
"You're courting death." The woman and man in blue waved their hands lightly, and two dark blue flames crashed towards Ji Jiuying.
People around quickly moved aside, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes slightly, used her hand as a staff, and chanted an incantation. A golden light emanated from her palm, and the blue flames instantly turned to ashes.
This made the girl in green widen her eyes; it was something they hadn't expected.
Jun Luoli's eyes showed surprise; she had clearly not sensed any spiritual power from her just now.
Now that he was really looking at Ji Jiuying, he couldn't even see through her cultivation level. Could it be that her strength was above his?
He waved for the two men in green to leave.
“Since you are unwilling to part with it, I will not force you. However, there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. Please be careful.” She had indeed misjudged the situation just now. Before knowing the other party’s strength, it was better not to act rashly. Jun Luoli suppressed her resentment and smiled.
It's not entirely Jun Luoli's fault, after all, she was wearing the Phoenix Frost Bracelet. As long as she didn't want to, even a Spirit Venerable wouldn't be able to see through Ji Jiuying's cultivation level.
"Heh! I'll say the same thing back to you." After saying that, she ignored Jun Luoli and turned to leave.
Jun Luoli's expression beneath the mask was extremely ugly, a murderous glint appearing in her eyes as she glanced at the man in blue.
"Princess, I understand." After receiving the order, the man in blue disappeared in the direction Ji Jiuying had left.
With her powerful mental strength, Ji Jiuying was well aware of what was going on behind her back, but she was too lazy to pay attention to him right now.
"Princess, Xiaoqing doesn't understand why we let her go like this." Xiaoqing felt that she and Lanyu should be able to defeat her.
"Xiaoqing, you're too naive. She must die, but not now."
"I was careless because I couldn't sense any spiritual power from her earlier. But after she unleashed her spiritual power, I couldn't even see through her cultivation level. If her strength is truly above mine, the three of us might not be able to defeat her."
Jun Luoli's originally aloof demeanor suddenly turned sinister and ruthless. "I'll kill her after Lan Yu finds out the truth."
