"Brother Lynx, save ."
The only remaining old root of the Old Scholar Tree quickly fled into this mountain forest.
It was very quiet in the mountain forest.
Imdiately after, a low beastly roar resounded in an instant.
A giant Tricolor Lynx erged from the jungle.
The aura of the Tricolor Lynx was incredibly powerful!
This was a creature of the Nine Heavens of Dao Fusion.
Even the Old Scholar Tree was only at the Quadruple Heaven of Dao Fusion.
"What happened? Where is your main body?"
The towering Lynx approached the old tree root, speaking with a hint of confusion.
The old tree root spoke with a sobbing tone,
"My main body has been destroyed by soone!"
"Wood Spirit Village has backing; they have a strong cultivator behind them, Brother Lynx, I’m no match for them…"
——As the Pagoda Tree Spirit of the Pagoda Tree Spirit Village, it was instigated by this Tricolor Lynx to act against Wood Spirit Village!
The Tricolor Lynx’s wild eyes suddenly flashed with displeasure,
"That grapevine is said to possibly co from the Depths of the Great Wilderness, and moreover, it’s one of the few creatures born with the ability to resist the malevolent forces of the Wilderness creatures. It is specifically sothing the Raven King wanted!"
"Moreover, it was in a desperate situation. With your strength, you should have been completely capable of capturing it!"
"If you didn’t manage it… how am I supposed to explain this to the Raven King?"
The Old Scholar Tree lanted,
"Brother Lynx, you don’t know; the Old Grapevine of Wood Spirit Village has been reborn!"
"Now that old vine is far more powerful than before. I suspect it might have already entered the Condensed Spirit Realm."
Upon hearing this, the Tricolor Lynx’s eyes changed.
The Old Grapevine had been reborn and even broken through?
"Explain clearly what happened!"
He asked gravely.
The old tree root, amidst sobs and tears, recounted the events.
"My main body followed the trail of those people from Wood Spirit Village and left outside Misty Mountain Ridge. I don’t know exactly how it died…"
After listening, the Tricolor Lynx fell into deep thought.
"Misty Mountain Ridge, that too is a place of doom. To think a small mountain village appeared there…"
"This is sowhat strange… I’ll make a trip to the Crow Food Tribe first!"
——The Crow Food Tribe was the largest force in this area.
The Sacrificial Spirit of this tribe was a Black Crow!
It was also the true powerhouse behind this Lynx.
...
In the small courtyard.
After breakfast, Li Fan, as usual, led the disciples through their morning gymnastics routine.
"Da De, isn’t today the market day?"
Li Fan asked Wu Dade.
Previously, Wu Dade had learned a lot about this region from people like Mu Rantian and others.
In the Great Wilderness, a primitive market was maintained, occurring once a month.
Wu Dade said,
"Yes, Master. Do you want to buy sothing?"
Li Fan said,
"Hmm, go check outside and see what the prices for agricultural products are like."
A few days ago, Mu Rantian and others arrived, presenting Li Fan with a great business opportunity!
It seed that the level of farming in this region was not very good!
Those misshapen pumpkins and corn cobs… they were pretty miserable even for feeding pigs.
But the farming level in the village was high!
Corn, rice, fruit, vegetables… they all produced high-quality agricultural products here, and there was no shortage throughout the seasons.
Perhaps they could fetch a good price outside!
First, let Da De do so market research. If possible, the villagers could have another way to earn money.
Earning more money ant everyone could live a more prosperous life.
It was unfortunate that Fire Spirit and the others were lost sowhere in the Yang Realm. Otherwise, with their business acun, they could have helped open up the market quickly.
If they could find a few big bosses to help with distribution, that would be even better… alas, it was a pity that couldn’t be achieved in the short term.
Now, they had no choice but to take up the task themselves with the disciples.
Upon hearing this, Wu Dade was montarily stunned.
The Master asking him to go to the market?
"No, the Master is always calculating. There must be so significant task this ti!"
Wu Dade felt he was getting smarter, and imdiately said,
"Understood, Master!"
"Shall I bring Da Hei along?"
Li Fan smiled. Da De and the Big Black Dog really had a good relationship.
Ever since they returned from hunting a few days ago, he would sleep with the dog every night!
When he fell asleep, the dog would be biting him, they were that close!
"Sure, go ahead."
Li Fan said.
Wu Dade imdiately left with the Big Black Dog.
Before long, he had already left the small mountain village.
"Dead Dog, do you think Master has a deeper aning in sending to the market?"
Wu Dade asked the Big Black Dog.
Da Hei replied with contempt,
"Human Pet, at least you have so brains."
"There’s sothing odd about the aura of this Great Wilderness. Maybe there’s sothing the Master is looking for… hurry up."
The man and the dog promptly departed.
...
According to the information Wu Dade gained from Mu Rantian and others.
There were three tribes in this region: the Crow Food Tribe, the Ghost Willow Tribe, and the Giant Ape Tribe.
Among them, the Crow Food Tribe was the largest.
The market was located in Cold Stone Town, at the junction of the three tribes.
On market days, people from all the surrounding villages would almost all co.
Before long, Wu Dade and the Big Black Dog finally arrived at Cold Stone Town.
Cold Stone Town was an ancient town built of stone, appearing to be quite ancient.
On both sides of a stone street, there were closely packed stone houses.
Almost all of those stone houses belonged to the three major tribes, while the ordinary villagers could only set up stalls on both sides of the street.
"Rabbit Ear Grass, a Hemostatic Holy dicine!"
"Refined Cold Iron, capable of forging Supre Divine Weapons!"
"Barrier Breaking Pills, which can help one break through from the Shackles Realm to the Self-Slaying Realm!"
The cries of vendors rose and fell in waves.
Li Fan and the Big Black Dog kept walking forward, and along the way, Li Fan only casually glanced around, finding almost nothing that caught his interest.
Becasue everything in this market... was too low-level.
Especially when he saw so so-called "spirit plants" being sold by so people, he was even more speechless.
They were even worse than the ones Mu Rantian gave away, all of them were the things even pigs wouldn’t eat.
And yet, they dared to claim they were spirit plants.
"Tsk, is this it? If we took the crops from our village, any random handful would outshine these in an instant."
Li Fan spoke up.
But at this mont, the Big Black Dog suddenly sniffed the air.
It suddenly turned its head toward a certain direction, murmuring:
"Is it... its scent?!"
Imdiately, it said anxiously:
"Human Pet, follow !"
With that, it dashed off into the distance.
Li Fan hurriedly followed.
Eventually, the Big Black Dog stopped next to a small stall.
The stall was run by a dark-skinned middle-aged man.
At his stall, he was selling all kinds of weapons, though their quality seed rather poor, attracting little interest.
Upon seeing Li Fan, the middle-aged stall owner’s eyes lit up and he said:
"Would you like to buy sothing, sir?"
"All my weapons here are top-quality divine weapons!"
Li Fan was puzzled and communicated telepathically:
"Dead Dog, what to buy?"
At this mont, the Black Dog, however, was fixated on a piece of rusty iron on the stall!
That iron piece looked as if it had just been dug up from the ground, covered in rust, nearly falling apart!
But in the Black Dog’s eyes, there was actually a trace of sorrow.
"That sword... is broken..."
After a long silence, it communicated to Li Fan, "Buy this!"
This damn dog... actually wanted a piece of scrap iron?
Li Fan criticized in his mind, but still said to the stall owner:
"None of these weapons are any good!"
While speaking, he squatted down, picking and choosing.
The middle-aged stall owner, who finally had a custor, quickly said:
"While these weapons may not be suitable for the most powerful warriors, they are very good choices for cultivators at the Shackles level..."
Choosing haphazardly, Li Fan picked up a teor hamr next to the piece of rusty iron and said:
"This one’s not bad."
The middle-aged stall owner praised, "Good taste, this teor Hamr is heavy and powerful, most suitable for an expert like yourself!"
Li Fan casually picked up the piece of iron next to the teor Hamr and said:
"Hmm? You even sell junk like this, where did it co from? Are you planning to scam soone with it?"
The stall owner quickly explained:
"This ca from a herb farr who brought it from the Depths of the Great Wilderness three months ago; when they found his body, all he had left was this. You might not think much of its rusty appearance, but it’s very hard!"
"I just placed it there casually; I didn’t plan on selling it, how could you say that I was trying to scam people?"
Li Fan nodded and said:
"...I’ll take the teor Hamr, and you can throw this thing in as a freebie for , I’ll take it back for the village kids to have as a toy."
The middle-aged stall owner was overjoyed upon hearing this; he did not care at all about the piece of scrap iron, and imdiately said:
"Okay, since we have fate, I won’t be nitpicky, two hundred Ya Shi Currency, all yours."
— This area was dominated by the Crow Food Tribe, hence the Ya Shi Currency was the only recognized coinage.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan was taken aback.
Damn... it seems that I don’t have any money!
Not a single coin.
"Too expensive? One hundred eighty can do as well!"
The middle-aged stall owner was a bit anxious.
Li Fan, feeling sowhat helpless, took out his water flask and said:
"Um... how about this, I let you take a sip of my water to cover the cost, deal?"
The middle-aged stall owner paused for a mont, but then his expression darkened!
"What are you implying, sir... Are you making fun of ?"
Li Fan quickly explained, "No, I just don’t have any money... Can’t you just accept the water... if that really won’t do, you can even take a bit of dirt from under my feet!"
But the middle-aged stall owner beca even angrier.
What kind of person is this!
"Are you looking for trouble?!"
He imdiately drew his knife, speaking with a fierce tone!
Damn, this fatty is pushing it too far!
Suddenly, plenty of onlookers crowded around.
Generally speaking, fighting was prohibited in the market, and this situation caught everyone’s attention.
Li Fan was getting anxious, Damn it, why won’t this guy be reasonable!
But just then, a clear and lodious voice rang out: "Young Master Wu?"
Li Fan turned around and saw that it was Mu Wanqing and Mu Jing.
They had also co to the market.
"What happened, Young Master Wu?"
Mu Wanqing stepped forward to ask.
Before Li Fan could speak, the middle-aged stall owner had already retorted angrily:
"This damn fatty is mocking , even though we had agreed on a price, he actually wants to default on the paynt, saying he would let drink his water or give so dirt to settle the debt, damn it, is this what humans say?"
However, upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing was imdiately shocked!
What? Pay with water, or with dirt???
"Young Master Wu, this is not acceptable!"
She quickly spoke up!!
