Chapter 31

But he would not attribute the cause to his own greed; instead, he blamed it all on Chen Feng.

"Brat, you want to see me severely punished, don't you? I won't let you off easily," the middle-aged man sneered.

Chen Feng walked much further, eventually stopping in front of an ancient-looking shop deep in the street.

The shop was not large, and the decoration was not luxurious, but it exuded a simple and natural, ancient and elegant atmosphere, making people feel very comfortable.

The shop's name was "Yao Shi Xuan."

Chen Feng seemed to remember something, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped inside.

The inside of the shop was small, with only one counter, on which fewer than ten jade boxes were placed, and it was unknown what was inside them.

An old man with a white beard, dressed in a gray linen robe, was leisurely sipping tea.

As soon as Chen Feng entered, his gaze fell on the cloth scroll in Chen Feng's hand.

"Selling something?" the old man asked.

"Yes," Chen Feng smiled and nodded.

The old man was very kind, making him feel quite comfortable.

"Open it up. The items we accept here are few. If it's suitable, I'll give you a fair price. If not, you can take it back as it is," the old man said.

"Alright," Chen Feng nodded and took out the black blood snake skin and the martial technique manual.

When the old man saw the black blood snake skin, he was slightly moved, stood up, and walked around the snake skin.

"Hmm, this is a good thing!" the old man muttered to himself: "It's very complete, with only a little damage. Such a large piece must be from an adult black blood snake, and it was skinned less than two days ago, very fresh."

"Such a large piece, more formations can be drawn on it, the owner will definitely be very satisfied."

The old man's voice was not loud, but it was enough for Chen Feng to hear.

Chen Feng's lips curled into a slight smile. This old man was straightforward and honest, deliberately letting him hear.

As for the martial technique manual, the old man shook his head after looking at it, without saying a word.

After a while, the old man turned his head and asked, "Selling both?"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Selling both, Senior, please give a price."

"Quite polite." The old man smiled slightly and nodded.

He directly said, "Black blood snake skin, one hundred medium-grade spirit stones. The price is fair, what do you think?"

Chen Feng was delighted in his heart. This was close to his expected price, and even a bit higher. He would have been very satisfied if he could sell it for ninety spirit stones.

He bowed and smiled, "Senior, I only need forty spirit stones."

"Oh?" The old man was somewhat surprised. He had heard of people raising prices, but never of people lowering them voluntarily.

Chen Feng pointed to the jade boxes in the cabinet and said in a serious tone, "I hope to choose a type of pill from inside."

"You're a smart kid." The old man smiled and asked, "How did you know they contain pills?"

Chen Feng's expression darkened, and he said in a low voice, "My master told me before he died that among all the shops selling pills in the outer sect of the Ganyuan Sect, the quality of Ganyuan Sect's pills is the best."

"Your master?" The old man pondered for a moment and suddenly exclaimed, "You are Yan Qingyu's disciple?"

Chen Feng nodded.

"Originally a disciple of an old friend." The old man shook his head and sighed, "Your master was a genius in his time, but alas... He passed away a few years ago, and we were very saddened when we heard the news. But due to... "

He shook his head and sighed for a moment, seemingly with some unspoken secrets.

In the end, he didn't say anything more, looked deeply at Chen Feng, and said, "What kind of pill do you want?"

"Gu Yuan Pill," Chen Feng said.

"What level?"

"Level six."

Gu Yuan Pill is one of the myriad pills, its function is to consolidate the foundation and stabilize the realm. Chen Feng's progress was too fast, and his rapid advancement left many hidden dangers, which required such a pill.

To stabilize the Sixth Level of the Later Heaven Realm, a level six Gu Yuan Pill was needed.

"Level six, alright, I'll find it for you." The old man seemed a bit distracted, responded absentmindedly, and was about to go look for it when he suddenly turned around, his face full of surprise.

"You said level six?"

"Yes!" Chen Feng was somewhat puzzled.

"You are at the Sixth Level of the Later Heaven Realm?" The old man was incredibly surprised.

He had heard that Yan Qingyu's disciple was a cultivator who could not practice, how could he reach the Sixth Level of the Later Heaven Realm so quickly?

But when he probed, he found that Chen Feng was not lying.

The old man was shocked in his heart!

It was simply unbelievable! A cultivator who could not practice could actually practice, and at such a fast speed?

The old man looked at Chen Feng with surprise, but he did not ask more.

In addition to being surprised, he felt some comfort in his heart.

It was something he was happy to see that the disciple of an old friend could achieve something.

He went to the cabinet and searched for a while, took out a jade box, and handed it to Chen Feng, saying, "This is a level six Gu Yuan Pill. Keep it well."

Chen Feng took it and carefully stored it. Then the old man gave Chen Feng a brocade bag containing forty medium-grade spirit stones.

"Senior, don't you want this martial technique manual?"

Chen Feng asked.

The old man looked deeply at him and earnestly warned, "Some things cannot be shown to others, let alone sold."

"This whip technique, if I'm not mistaken, should be from the Qingmu Sect's manual. My eyesight is not the best, but it's not the worst. There are many better than me."

"You think, if the Qingmu Sect finds out that one of their secret manuals is being sold by a Ganyuan Sect disciple, what would they do?"

"The top ten sects in Danyang County often have friction, and the occasional death is normal, but remember, remember, never let anyone catch you, never let anyone find out."
