Just then, beside the counter, a burly man sneered sarcastically.

Xu Yan glanced at him – a fifth grade martial artist. He raised his chin, “So old yet only in the five-grade, such a waste!”

He will not be mocked without retaliation.

“What did you say?”

The burly man was furious, his aura surging wildly, with a cold gleam in his eyes that looked as if he was going to bite someone.

“Guests, this is Tianbao Pavilion!”

A serving maid beside reminded lightly.

The burly man’s body shook, hurriedly concealing his aura, glared fiercely at Xu Yan, “Kid, you better not leave Tianbao Pavilion, or else, hmph!”

Saying this, he turned and walked away.

Obviously, he wouldn’t let this rest.

“Young Master, you seem to have offended someone.”

The serving maid in front of Xu Yan reminded with a smile.

“Oh, what would happen if I offended someone?”

Xu Yan thought about it, did he just discover a quick way to earn Spirit Crystals?

“People can be killed, although fights between martial artists are theoretically forbidden in the prefecture city, but…”

The maid explained with a smile.

“Can people be killed?”

Xu Yan asked lifting his head.

The maid hesitated and looked at the young man in front of her in surprise. Did he intend to kill that burly man?

That man was a fifth-grade martial artist, a strong figure in the Tie Shan Prefecture area.

He was also a well-known ruthless martial artist in the Tie Shan Prefecture, who has killed in the city on several occasions, especially the outsiders without any backing, were his victims for money.

As a servant of the Tianbao Pavilion, although not high in position, she knew more about these matters than most martial artists.

Before she could answer, Xu Yan muttered, “Even if I turn him to ashes, no one will know it was me who killed him and there will be no traces left!”

The maid: …

Did she hear something she shouldn’t have heard?

“Wait a moment, I might be able to buy Qingyuan Fruit with Spirit Crystals, just wait.”

Xu Yan excitedly walked out.

Was someone bringing Spirit Crystals to him?

At this time, a group of people came down from the upper floor of the Tianbao Pavilion. The leading woman wore a veil, her face not clear. A maid who held a sword was closely following her.

Behind the woman, there were two expressionless men with sharp eyes. They scanned all the martial artists in the place, making them all shiver.

Strong ones!

“Miss Du, we deeply apologize that we do not have the spiritual medicine you need in Tianbao Pavilion in Tie Shan county!”

The Pavilion Master apologized sincerely.

The woman did not respond, and left the Tianbao Pavilion directly. As she stepped out the door, she happened to see Xu Yan, who was gleeful as he ducked into a nearby alley.

The fifth-grade martial artist followed tightly after Xu Yan with menace on his face.

In the alley, Xu Yan eagerly looked at the man who followed him in and asked, “Do you have a hundred Spirit Crystals?”

The burly man sneered, “Kid, you’re pretty arrogant, delivering yourself to death. I’ll fulfill your wish!”

With a sudden rush, he punched out.

Xu Yan raised his hand to block it. The man’s eyes widened in fear, his mind roared, “Are you a Grandmaster, bullying a fifth-grade martial artist, have you no shame?!”

Smack!

The man died with his eyes wide open!

Xu Yan searched his body, pulled out a small bag, looked inside and found that there were only thirty Spirit Crystals, and there was a flash of disappointment on his face.

“Such a poor guy, can’t even afford a Qingyuan Fruit!”

Xu Yan snapped his fingers, and a wave of True Qi rushed out, instantly crushing the body into ashes.

“Martial artists in the Inner Domain are indeed ruthless, they simply kill when there’s a disagreement. No wonder Brother Xie told me that we must act decisively against the hostile and despicable people we meet in the Inner Domain, and never be soft-hearted!”

Xu Yan thought to himself.

Packed up the Spirit Crystals with a pensive and worried face, “There aren’t a hundred Spirit Crystals, I can’t buy Qingyuan Fruit, and the amount of spiritual medicine I need is not small.

“If these guys who harbor ill will against me and want to kill me came to me every day, wouldn’t I be able to accumulate Spirit Crystals quickly?”

Coming out of the alley, Xu Yan pondered where to go next, how to earn Spirit Crystals. As a martial artist, it seemed impossible to survive in the Inner Domain without Spirit Crystals.

“Ah, what a worry!”

Xu Yian sighed, he had never been troubled over money since he was able to remember things. It wasn’t even his first full day in the Inner Domain, and he was already worrying about money!

“No wonder my master said I’m poor. He must have seen it all. Wealth is not made of gold and silver. I can’t even afford a few Spirit Crystals.”

After glancing at the Tianbao Pavilion, Xu Yan decided to leave Tieshan County and head towards the prefecture city of Lanping, where there would be more opportunities to earn Spirit Crystals.

The big city is the martial arts world, the real bustling place.

“Miss, there are surprisingly no bodies in the alley.”

A group of people coming out of the Tianbao Pavilion passed by the alley’s entrance. The maid glanced inside and exclaimed in surprise.

Upon looking, Du Yuying raised her head and stopped in surprise, as if realizing something. She stared at the receding figure of Xu Yan, appearing lost in thought.

Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and made a decision.

“Cui’er, catch up to that gentleman and tell him I want to do a trade with him.”

Taken aback, Cui’er nodded without asking for reasons. “Yes, miss.”

She quickened her pace to catch up with Xu Yan.

Once more, Du Yuying looked into the alley, took a deep breath, as if seeing hope.

“I hope things turn out the way I envision.”

She briskly continued on her way. Behind her, two men watched her vigilantly, escorting her into a residence next to the county government.

A while later, two carriages drove out from inside. The front carriage was escorted by guards on horseback on either side. In contrast, the back carriage was just driven by a single coachman.

The carriages headed out of Tieshan County.

Walking down the street, Xu Yan was looking all around at the hurrying martial artists, “This one looks broke, he’s as poor as me. So most inner domain martial artists are poor!”

“Excuse me, sir, please hold on!”

Suddenly, a clear voice sounded from behind.

Xu Yan turned his head and saw a woman holding a sword hurriedly catching up.

“You’re calling me?”

Xu Yan stopped in confusion.

“Yes, sir, my mistress wants to do a trade with you.”

Cui’er stopped and said.

She also scrutinized Xu Yan, who was good-looking and whose martial arts skills were unclear.

He was, presumably, stronger than her.

“Oh, who is your mistress and what trade does she want to make with me?”

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow, his heart becoming wary.

A newcomer himself, he couldn’t be so careless that someone would stab him in the back.

“Sir, I don’t know, if you accompany me to meet my mistress you will naturally find out.”

Cui’er shook her head.

“Okay!”

Xu Yan nodded but thought to himself, “If her mistress has ill intentions, I will make some spirit crystals. If it is a legitimate trade, I can also earn some spirit crystals.

“This maid is a fifth-tier martial artist, her mistress must not be simple. Hopefully, she has ill intentions; thus, I can make a large sum of Spirit Crystals!”

With that thought, Xu Yan became energetic, as if a pile of Spirit Crystals was waiting for him.

Cui’er led Xu Yan back. On the way, they met the carriage, so she came forward and said, “Miss, I’ve brought the man.”

Xu Yan glanced at the formation. The two martial artists at the front were of second-tier strength. The four martial artists on either side of the carriage were of third-tier strength, and the coachman was a first-tier martial artist.

But this was just the surface strength of the team.

The real power was the person in the carriage – a Grandmaster!

It appeared the person had been injured, and severely at that.

Even so, they were more than enough to deal with a first-tier warrior. But if they encountered a Grandmaster, they might not be able to cope with their injuries.

The lady in the carriage was not weak either, she was a third-tier martial artist. At her age, in the inner domain, that standing was top-tier.

“The other party’s identity is not simple. A Grandmaster protects her, what trade does she want to make with me? Does she know I have Healing Pills?

“That’s impossible! I’ve never shown the pills and even if I did she wouldn’t know they are Healing Pills.

“So if they’re not after my Healing Pills, why do they seek me?”

Xu Yan pondered in his heart.

“May I know your name, sir?”

A clear and pleasing voice echoed from inside the carriage.

“The name is not important. What trade do you want to make? Speak frankly.”

Xu Yan replied calmly.
