The young man with a pale face and a powdered head ignored the angry glares and disdainful looks from Yi Kai and the others, sweeping his eyes over them arrogantly and said, "You beggars actually blocked the path of this young master. Do you know who I am? Fulin, tell them."
"These beggars, get out of the way. This is the third young master of the Wu family, one of the eight major families in Black Dragon City. If you know what’s good for you, scram."
The servant lifted his chin slightly, showing no fear towards Yi Kai, Yi Tian, and the others, and ordered them around.
Many of the onlookers couldn't help but be startled at this scene.
It turned out that this young man was actually the third young master of the Wu family, not someone to be trifled with. In Black Dragon City, he was known as a spoiled brat, bullying men and women, and causing trouble everywhere.
However, he also had a sense of judgment, only bullying those with little or no power, or those whose power was far inferior to his.
Yi Kai's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
The Wu family, as one of the eight major families in Black Dragon City, was very powerful, controlling one-tenth of the city's trade. Even their entire Yi tribe was not as strong as the Wu family.
This made Yi Kai feel at a loss.
"Who cares if you're the third young master of the Wu family or the third young master of the turtle family. You actually hit my little Ting, let's beat you up first!"
Yi Shan said with a murderous aura.
He was now staring intently at Fulin, the servant by the side of the third young master of the Wu family. It was he who had dealt a harsh blow to Yi Xiaolong. In the moment they clashed, Yi Shan knew the other's strength, at least that of a first-stage warrior.
Yi Feng and Yi Li also wished to step forward and teach the master and servant a lesson.
Yi Shan's words made the crowd around them unable to hold back their laughter. Wasn't he calling the other a turtle's son?
Clearly, the third young master of the Wu family didn't understand the depth of Yi Shan's words, so he looked at Yi Shan and the others with a haughty expression.
"Shan, calm down!"
Yi Tian placed a hand on Yi Shan's shoulder, a heavy force making it impossible for him to move, who was about to rush forward to beat up the other.
Now, Yi Tian also saw the situation clearly. Even though they were furious and wanted to teach the other a lesson, they had to temporarily hold back. Whether it was the rules of Shixuan Street or the power behind the other, they couldn't act rashly, or they might not even be able to leave Shixuan Street.
Especially since they needed to ensure the safety of Xiaolong and Xiaoting, they couldn't act recklessly.
Yi Shan felt the strength in Yi Tian's hand, and he couldn't resist. He couldn't help but be shocked by Yi Tian's strength.
Seeing the silence of Yi Kai, Yi Tian, and the others, the third young master of the Wu family became even more arrogant, saying, "Get out of the way, can beggars like you even enter Shiyun Pavilion?"
The servant Fulin added, "A good dog doesn't block the path, get out of the way."
At this moment, the manager of Shiyun Pavilion, a large, fat man, walked over with a smile.
"Third Young Master Wu, what a pleasure to have you here, please come in."
The manager of Shiyun Pavilion saw Yi Tian and the others and immediately waved his hand, saying, "Don't block the noble guests here, leave quickly. The raw stones you picked, I'll give them to you."
The large, fat man glanced at the raw stones in Yi Tian and the others' hands, only about a dozen. A hint of disdain flashed across his face, and he pretended to be generous, giving the raw stones to them to get them to leave quickly, while also winning favor with the third young master of the Wu family.
"This is what you said, don't regret it!"
Yi Tian's impression of the Shiyun Pavilion manager suddenly worsened. He was a sycophant.
The manager of Shiyun Pavilion said firmly, "My word is as good as gold, everyone can be a witness!"
He said this to the surrounding crowd and guests.
Yi Tian gave a cold look to the third young master of the Wu family, his servant, and the manager of Shiyun Pavilion, then laughed coldly and led Yi Shan, Yi Feng, and the others out of Shiyun Pavilion. Yi Kai couldn't help but sigh in relief and hurriedly followed.
"Third Young Master Wu, please come in!"
The manager of Shiyun Pavilion didn't pay attention to Yi Tian and the others as they left. He knew that finding a yuan stone among hundreds of thousands of raw stones was extremely unlikely.
These raw stones were dug from areas where the yuan qi was extremely thin, and finding a yuan stone was almost impossible, with a probability of one in a million.
The merchants would have someone dress up as a customer and prepare a yuan stone in advance, then repeatedly announce that a customer had luckily bought a yuan stone. This thoroughly aroused the enthusiasm of countless low-level warriors and ordinary people, and every shop on Shixuan Street made a fortune every day.
If not for this, Shixuan Street couldn't have developed to such a grand scale.
After leaving Shiyun Pavilion, Yi Tian, Yi Feng, and the others were trying to comfort Xiaoting in various ways.
Soon, Xiaoting gradually forgot the fear and unease from earlier.
Yi Kai felt a bit embarrassed; he almost failed to protect Xiaoting's safety, which made him secretly blame himself.
"Let's go back!"
"No!"
Yi Tian said, "It's rare to come to Shixuan Street, let's continue."
At this moment, Yi Feng held a raw stone in his hand. The next moment, when he activated his technique and true qi passed through the raw stone, it immediately shattered into a pile of gravel.
"Not a yuan stone!"
Yi Feng showed a hint of disappointment. One by one, the raw stones were shattered by his true qi, and none of them were yuan stones.
Yi Kai, Yi Shan, and Yi Li also began to test the raw stones, but none of them were yuan stones, all were waste stones.
If they had bought these waste stones, they would have been very upset, as their entire fortune of a few gold coins would have been wasted.
"Brother, I have one too!"
At this moment, Xiaolong also took out a raw stone and handed it to Yi Tian.
Yi Tian took the raw stone and was taken aback.
This raw stone was actually a yuan stone, which made Yi Tian marvel at Xiaolong's luck.
"Good job!"
Yi Tian praised Xiaolong.
"Tell me what you want, and I'll satisfy you."
Yi Tian's mood improved. Although they had a very unpleasant experience at Shiyun Pavilion, obtaining four yuan stones still made him quite happy.
Even so, Yi Tian had a grudge with the third young master of the Wu family, and he wouldn't feel comfortable until he settled the score.
"Is the one in your hand...?"
Seeing Yi Tian's improved mood, Yi Feng suddenly realized and showed a hint of surprise.
Yi Kai, Yi Shan, and the others also came to their senses, understanding Yi Feng's meaning, and were all incredulous.
"Let's go to the next shop!"
Yi Tian didn't confirm or deny, but quickly decided to sweep through the rest of Shixuan Street.
Thus, Yi Tian led them from shop to shop, occasionally borrowing all the gold coins from Yi Feng, Yi Shan, and Yi Li to buy raw stones.
Later, all the gold coins they had were spent, and they obtained about a dozen raw stones.
Although Yi Feng and the others were puzzled, they didn't ask.
Yi Tian visited more than half of the shops on Shixuan Street, but there were still three shops left. In the shops he had visited, at least one yuan stone was found in each, meaning there were more than three yuan stones left in the remaining three shops, which Yi Tian and the others couldn't afford to miss.
"Uncle Kai, how many gold coins do you have left?"
Yi Tian turned his attention to Yi Kai.
Yi Kai had already spent three gold coins, which pained him greatly, as three gold coins were a third of his fortune. However, the desire for sudden wealth made him always want to try.
"Six gold coins!"
Yi Kai replied.
Yi Tian said to Yi Kai, "Uncle Kai, lend me six gold coins, and I'll give you a chance, how about it?"
Yi Kai's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't understand Yi Tian's behavior, but he still handed over the six gold coins.
These six gold coins were quickly spent by Yi Tian, buying nine raw stones.
"Let's go back!"
After sweeping through all of Shixuan Street, Yi Tian couldn't help but feel nervous. They had thirty-four raw stones, and only Yi Tian knew about it. Thirty-four low-grade yuan stones were a huge fortune, comparable to the assets of some medium and small forces. Yi Tian's heart was tense.
When they safely returned to Yunlong Inn, Yi Tian let out a sigh of relief.
Even so, Yi Tian still asked Yi Feng, Yi Shan, and Yi Li to keep an eye on the thirty-four low-grade yuan stones.
Yi Tian took two low-grade yuan stones, said goodbye to Yi Feng and the others, and left Yunlong Inn.
That afternoon, he sold one low-grade yuan stone at a merchant in Black Dragon City, getting eight hundred gold coins. All of this was done while he was disguised.
