102: Chapter 102 Fang Yuan: This chaotic state of mind is absolutely not human!

"Let's go, Wangcai, turn around!"

Qin Muyuan accepted the quest, and an arrow suddenly appeared in his field of vision. He patted Wangcai on the head and walked forward following the arrow.

"Senior Qin, where are we going?"

Fang Yuan had just recovered from the shock of that servant being killed in a single blow.

Hearing that Qin Muyuan was turning around directly, she hurriedly followed and asked.

Qin Muyuan naturally replied, "Where are we going? Of course, we are going to find the Master Lingzhu and ask him just how many Spirit Stones he intends to collect from me."

"Ask him?"

Hearing this, Fang Yuan felt her brain stall for a moment.

No, that slain servant said they could personally find the Master Lingzhu and ask him.

As a result... you actually took it seriously and are really going to find the Master Lingzhu?

Anyone could tell at a glance that the servant's words were fake! He definitely knew that their group couldn't find the market lord to ask, which is why he made up that excuse!

Even if they really found the Master Lingzhu to ask, it was impossible for him to answer...

"Wait!"

Fang Yuan suddenly raised her head and looked at Qin Muyuan, who was heading straight for the center of Lingzhu Market and making his way toward the Lingzhu Manor.

"He isn't going to find the Master Lingzhu to ask questions; he's going to slaughter the Master Lingzhu!"

Fang Yuan was terrified in her heart.

She still hadn't shifted her mindset.

According to her mindset, when facing a Late Stage Foundation Establishment powerhouse like the Master Lingzhu, there was no need to turn hostile, let alone resort to violence.

After all, even if they confronted the Master Lingzhu, what use would it be?

It had completely nothing to do with their current goal of going after the Fang Family and slaughtering them.

Seeking out the Master Lingzhu was merely courting extra trouble for no benefit at all.

However.

She suddenly thought that the Senior named Qin Muyuan before her... what he cared about was not benefits at all!

Everything he did had always been as he pleased, and he would never suffer even the slightest loss!

Luo Sujin had only produced a tiny bit of Killing Intent toward him, and she was chopped to death on the spot by him in a few strokes.

Because of this, Qin Muyuan directly offended the Luo Family, one of the Eight Great Families.

And it was the same for her previously.

She had previously wanted to command Qin Muyuan, failing to use honorifics in her attitude and lacking sufficient respect in her tone.

Consequently, she was also almost decapitated with a single blade strike by Qin Muyuan!

You must know that under those circumstances, following her command and jointly resisting the enemy's attack was undoubtedly a better choice.

But Qin Muyuan... he simply refused!

To him, if he wanted to chop, he chopped; if he wanted to kill, he killed.

He completely ignored Family background and completely disregarded powerful families.

Fang Yuan thought to herself that, let alone the children of the Eight Great Families, even if a prince of Daliang Country were standing before Qin Muyuan—

If he displeased Qin Muyuan in the slightest, Qin Muyuan would probably slice the Daliang Country prince down like a stray dog on the roadside with a single strike!

"Lawless and doing entirely as he pleases... This person is too terrifying!"

At this moment, a strong sense of shock rose in Fang Yuan's heart toward Qin Muyuan.

This shock was not toward Qin Muyuan's strength, but toward his state of mind.

In the eyes of a person like Qin Muyuan, all things and matters were equal.

This kind of equality was truly terrifying.

After all, whether it was someone from a Family like Fang Yuan or ordinary Mortals and commoners, everyone had a code of conduct in their hearts.

This set of rules was like the operating Laws of a normal kingdom.

For instance, after committing murder, if one were an ordinary commoner, they would have to pay with their life.

If it were someone from a great Family, it depended on the identity and status of the person killed.

If the identity and status were low, there was no need to pay attention to it.

If the status was high, they would give more money to conduct a benefit exchange.

From the lowest Mortals up to the imperial relatives of Immortal Cultivator families, they might not obey the Law, but they would definitely abide by this set of conventional Law.

However.

Qin Muyuan... he completely disregarded this Law as if it were nothing!

This kind of person acted entirely as he pleased. No matter who it was, as long as they provoked him, the only path left to take was a fight to the death involving the slaughter of their entire Family!

"It is truly... the height of Chaos!"

Fang Yuan looked toward Qin Muyuan, a trace of indescribable emotion flashing through her eyes.

It seemed like admiration, it seemed like fear, and it also seemed like respect.

If previously, when Fang Yuan saw Qin Muyuan swallow a Magic Treasure alive, she suspected that he was not of the Human Race.

Then at this moment, Fang Yuan was no longer suspicious.

Instead, she was certain!

This kind of Chaos state of mind could absolutely not belong to a human!

...

In the center of Lingzhu Market was the Lingzhu Manor.

The entire manor was nestled amidst a lush expanse of spiritual bamboos.

Beneath the manor lay a branch vein of an eighth-grade Spiritual Vein. Therefore, the manor built upon this Spiritual Vein branch was filled with a dense spiritual aura.

The concentration of spiritual energy here was a full twenty percent higher than the outside world.

Living in this environment brimming with spiritual energy for a long time could prolong the lives of Mortals and significantly accelerate the cultivation progress of Immortal Cultivators.

Therefore, the faction represented by the Master Lingzhu was an ideal force that many ordinary Alchemists and Immortal Cultivators yearned for and were willing to pledge allegiance to.

"Queue up properly! Come one by one, no cutting in line!"

In front of the Lingzhu Manor, an Alchemist shouted, employing a small trick learned by Alchemists.

Therefore, his voice was loud enough to reach the back of the long queue, allowing all Mortals to hear.

Hearing this, the Mortals waiting in line outside dared not shove or scramble for positions in the queue; they simply stood in line silently, waiting for the inspection of the Lingzhu Manor.

These Mortals were all Mortals who had lived on Lingzhu Mountain for generations.

A few days ago, Lingzhu Mountain was plagued by a great demon.

This great demon didn't kill many people, but instead specialized in eating farm crops, causing the farmland to be completely destroyed and the harvest to fail entirely.

Although Lord Master Lingzhu heard of their miserable state and exempted them from this year's taxes.

But with no food to eat, these farming Mortals, having not a penny to their names, still had to go hungry.

Fortunately, the Market Lord paid a visit among the common folk, saw their current situation, and feeling pity in his heart, sent them some food.

However, the quantity of food was scarce and nowhere near enough to eat.

Although the Market Lord still had surplus food, he was also worried that blindly distributing it for free might foster waste and laziness.

Therefore, he adopted a compromise measure.

He set up an Aptitude inspection at the entrance of the manor; those who passed the inspection could enter the manor to exchange labor for food.

Among them, Mortals with better natural Aptitude even had the chance to be taken under the Market Lord's wing and be taught immortal Dao Spells.

Having learned this Spell, they would be able to repair damaged farmland and even use Dao Spells to accelerate the ripening of crops, achieving a bountiful harvest year after year.

"Daddy, since Lord Master Lingzhu knows immortal Spells, why can't he first help everyone save the crops and fix the fields before selecting people to learn Spells?"

In the long queue of people, a little girl tugged at her father's sleeve and asked softly:

Before her daddy could reply, another man, dressed relatively cleanly and looking like he had some wealth at home, harshly berated her:

"What status do you have, and you still want Lord Master Lingzhu to cast Dao Spells for you?!"

Beside them, other Mortals also chimed in one after another.

"Just a lowly commoner like you, what qualifications do you have to make the Market Lord cast Spells for you?"

"Listening to your words, the lazy people that the Market Lord is worried about are precisely people like you!"

"That's right! You are simply ungrateful and devoid of conscience, yet you actually dare to question the Market Lord!"

"This little girl, at such a young age, dares to ask such things. If she gets married and her husband hits her a few times, would she dare to go report him to the authorities?"

Reprimands rose and fell one after another, quickly drowning out the little girl.
