115: Chapter 115 Reappears the Fragment

Luoxuan City, Treasure Gathering Market.

This was the most bustling commercial street in Luoxuan City, where Cultivators from all corners of the world set up stalls.

Thanks to the gathering of Cultivators for the centennial grand event, rare treasures that were usually hard to find appeared on the stalls, and the goods were dazzling. Many Cultivators were not here to attend the event at all, but rather to fence stolen goods in Luoxuan City.

The Su Family naturally would not miss this opportunity.

Su Xuanxiao wandered through the stall area, with three Sword Cultivator servants following closely behind.

The things he was interested in were different from others; he liked relatively niche skills or Spells, such as Puppets, divination, Soul Refining and soul-suppressing Spells, or Dao techniques related to chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Niche meant fewer people knew about them, which had an unexpected effect during combat.

Just like his Puppet self-destruction, or his mother's Melody Dao Technique and the Illusory Sound Sect's Dao techniques; most Cultivators had absolutely no defense against them, and they were always effective.

He walked and stopped within the market, lingering at over a dozen stalls, but in the end, he bought nothing.

Zhao Wanyi couldn't help but laugh and say, "Fourth Young Master, if you really can't find any treasures to your liking, shall we go stroll around other places? Places like the Myriad Flower Pavilion, Phoenix Perch Terrace, Flower Cherishing Academy, or the Orchid Tower are quite refined. I believe the Family Head would be very happy to hear that."

The other two Sword Cultivator servants snickered secretly upon hearing this.

The places Zhao Wanyi had just mentioned were all places with the most women; some were legitimate establishments, while others were places of pleasure.

Su Xuanxiao was sixteen years old this year, and inevitably, his parents began pressuring him to marry.

However, he usually stayed at home and never went out. Since he was finally brought out for once, Su Yang naturally hoped his son would get to know more female Cultivators.

Su Xuanxiao paused, and Zhao Wanyi behind him immediately fell silent and lowered her head, looking as if she were admitting her mistake.

Because her Senior Sister had married into the Su Family as the eldest daughter-in-law, she usually had some backing, so her words and actions were slightly flamboyant, and it was occasionally inevitable that she would speak without thinking.

Just as she thought Su Xuanxiao would reprimand her with displeasure, she discovered that Su Xuanxiao's gaze was fixed intently on the stall in front of him.

He picked up a damaged piece of yellow paper on the stall to examine it.

Due to excessive damage, the Dao technique recorded on it was severely fragmented, and ordinary Cultivators would be completely unable to read the content on the yellow paper.

But Su Xuanxiao only read a small section of it before he knew the origin of the Dao technique on the yellow paper.

It was one of the fragments of the Night Roaming Divine Movement!

"Fellow Daoist, how much for this item?"

Su Xuanxiao had long since cast Zhao Wanyi's teasing to the back of his mind, his attention entirely focused on this yellow paper.

"One foundation establishment pill."

The Cultivator was draped in a gray robe and wore a ghost-face mask, his voice impossible to distinguish as male or female; one look and it was clear he was a Robber Cultivator here to fence stolen goods in Luoxuan City.

"Fellow Daoist, you aren't being sincere. You want a foundation establishment pill for a fragmented, incomplete Dao technique?"

Su Xuanxiao sneered, "If you don't want to sell it, then don't put it on the stall."

The gray-robed Cultivator chuckled, "Since you took a fancy to this fragment, it shows you must know its origin, so the price must be high. Take it or leave it."

"Fine, then I don't want it."

Su Xuanxiao's eyes showed disdain, and he turned to leave without hesitation. The gray-robed Cultivator remained silent.

Until Su Xuanxiao's figure was about to disappear into the crowd.

The gray-robed person finally couldn't withstand the pressure and sent a voice transmission: "Fellow Daoist, stay your steps! The price is negotiable!"

"I don't want it anymore; keep it for yourself."

Su Xuanxiao waved his hand without looking back.

The gray-robed person packed all the items on the stall into his Storage Pouch and hurried to catch up.

"Hey, hey, hey, Fellow Daoist, don't be in such a rush to leave! How about this, half a foundation establishment pill!"

The gray-robed person was certain that Su Xuanxiao was merely putting on a show of leaving to drive down the price; he had seen such feigned tactics many times.

He even deliberately shouted "Fellow Daoist, stay your steps" as a test. According to common logic, if it were really just a pretense, the other person should have stopped by now to wait for him to concede.

Who knew that Su Xuanxiao's pace didn't falter in the slightest, and he didn't even turn his head.

Now the gray-robed person completely panicked. He had originally thought the other party was just putting on an act, but he hadn't expected him to actually be leaving!

This broken paper was not easy to sell at all; the Dao technique was too severely fragmented, and most Cultivators wouldn't even glance at it.

It was hard to come by a fat sheep; how could he let him run away?

"Ten Spirit Stones, take it or leave it."

Su Xuanxiao's tone was impatient, and his gaze was already locked onto other stalls.

The gray-robed person's mouth twitched slightly; this was too far a drop from the price he had expected.

"O... One hundred Spirit Stones! No matter what, it's still a Dao technique fragment; ten Spirit Stones is too..."

"Fine, deal."

Without waiting for the gray-robed person to finish, Su Xuanxiao casually tossed out a hundred Spirit Stones.

The gray-robed person's heart went cold. It seemed he had asked for too little; a massive loss!

He took out the yellow paper with great reluctance, and just as he was about to hand it to Su Xuanxiao, a voice suddenly interrupted: "Hold on! I want this fragment; I will pay double the price."

As soon as the voice fell, Su Xuanxiao took advantage of the gray-robed person's momentary distraction to snatch the yellow paper and store it in his storage ring.

"Eh? Fellow Daoist, you..."

The gray-robed person was anxious and wanted to go back on his word, but discovered the yellow paper had already been taken by the other party.

The person who had just interrupted pushed through the crowd and stepped out.

The young man had a handsome appearance and was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe with cloud patterns. His gait carried an extraordinary air, and he was followed closely by a dozen or so Guards, walking toward Su Xuanxiao and the gray-robed person with an aggressive Aura.

"This Fellow Daoist, please take out that yellow paper; bidding is within a reasonable scope."

The brocade-robed youth's eyes were sharp as knives as he swept them toward Su Xuanxiao, demanding it in a cold voice.

Su Xuanxiao's expression was calm as he said indifferently, "The transaction has already concluded; there is no bidding phase."

"Are you trying to force a sale?"

The brocade-robed youth's expression turned cold.

The Aura of the Guards behind him surged violently; Protective Aura appeared on the Martial Artists, and the Cultivators released their spiritual power pressure.

"You should be reasonable when doing things!" Su Xuanxiao curled his lip in disdain and looked at the gray-robed person: "You tell him whether the transaction just now was finished."

"This..."

The gray-robed person was speechless for a moment, because he couldn't afford to offend either side.

Although the brocade-robed youth's side looked fierce, Su Xuanxiao's side didn't look simple either!

Zhao Wanyi and the other two had Sword Qi swirling around them; the combat power of Sword Cultivators at the same level was extremely fierce, and fighting a dozen or so really wasn't a problem.

"Hmph! You dare to use words to threaten the stall owner?"

The brocade-robed youth shouted sharply: "My Ye Family most hates bullying the weak; hand over the yellow paper immediately, and I might spare your life!"

What a way to twist right and wrong!

Su Xuanxiao was eye-opened by this. Although he didn't fear the other party, he still cautiously asked, "The Ye Family you speak of, is that the seventh-grade Qi Refining Family Ye Family of Luoxuan City?"

"Good that you know!"

Ye Junyi lifted his chin slightly, his posture arrogant.

Su Xuanxiao sneered; he thought it was a Foundation Establishment Family since they were acting so badass.

Su Xuanxiao couldn't be bothered to tangle with the other party, pondering what consequences would arise if he just slaughtered him.

Fighting was prohibited in Luoxuan City, but the centennial grand event had gathered too many Cultivators, and Luoxuan City couldn't control it, so they had temporarily canceled this rule.

As long as no big commotion was made, no Luoxuan City Guards would come.

However, after careful consideration, Su Xuanxiao thought that offending a local Family would bring trouble to the Su Family, and it wasn't worth it.

Anyway, the other party didn't know his identity, so he would just leave.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "Fellow Daoist Su, do not fear, we have come to assist you!"

Su Xuanxiao frowned, and his gaze followed the sound; the person who had come was actually Jiang Linyuan!

"And who are you?" Ye Junyi was very unhappy at being interrupted.

Jiang Linyuan said loudly: "Qingyuan Cultivator, here to uphold justice for the Fellow Daoist of the Qingyuan Su Family!"
