Chapter 798: Chapter 799: Young City Lord

Chu Fengmian walked up to the stall and spoke directly.

Given this woman’s bloodline, she naturally shouldn’t have fallen into such dire straits; clearly, there were various reasons.

However, Chu Fengmian didn’t care about the woman’s origins; he was only interested in acquiring these three golden bamboos.

"Do you want to buy these three golden bamboos?"

The woman seemed somewhat surprised to hear Chu Fengmian speak.

Even she didn’t know the origins of the golden bamboos, which were laid out here just to try her luck.

She hadn’t expected anyone would actually come to buy them.

"Yes, name a price for these three golden bamboos. I’d like to buy them."

Chu Fengmian nodded.

"Fifty—no, a hundred, a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones."

The woman’s gaze flickered, seemingly pondering for a while before she named a price.

When she stated this price, she also carefully observed Chu Fengmian’s expression.

One hundred top-grade Spirit Stones was an astronomical price for her and even for most sages, whose entire fortunes might not amount to that sum.

It was almost equivalent to the entire wealth of an ordinary sage.

Seeing Chu Fengmian’s face change slightly in surprise, the woman quickly explained.

"These three bamboos, I also do not know their origins, but they have been passed down by my ancestors, and their value is certainly not low."

However, what this woman didn’t know was that Chu Fengmian’s changing face was not because the price was high, but rather the opposite—it was too low.

Pure Gold Bamboo, throughout the Nine Domains, was a rare treasure. Although Pure Gold Bamboo couldn’t be used for medicine or Artifact Refining, it possessed a unique ability.

That is, to temper Spiritual Artifacts.

Ordinary Spiritual Artifacts, if tempered with Pure Gold Bamboo, could double in rank or even more. The value of these three Pure Gold Bamboos likely equated to several imperial Spirit Stones.

One hundred top-grade Spirit Stones was indeed too low.

"If not, fifty, fifty top-grade Spirit Stones—I will sell them to you."

The woman, seeing Chu Fengmian remain silent, hastily spoke.

"No, one hundred top-grade Spirit Stones it is; I’ll take the three bamboos."

Chu Fengmian didn’t want to waste words explaining anything. He flipped his palm and a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones appeared in his palm, which he then handed over directly.

"This."

The woman’s face showed a slight hint of surprise, not expecting Chu Fengmian to agree so readily, just as she took the hundred top-grade Spirit Stones, suddenly a voice came from not far away.

"Ha ha ha ha, Su He, what are you doing setting up a stall here? I have told you before, just agree to marry me and you will not lack riches and honor in the future."

A wild voice came over, and at a glance, a young man was seen swaggering towards them.

This young man was not particularly powerful, only at the third-level of the Spirit Sea realm, but behind him stood two Martial Artists, both at the seventh-level of the Controlling Wind Realm.

In this small city of Rising Sun, a seventh-level Controlling Wind Realm Martial Artist was already considered an influential figure, yet they were merely the guards of this young man.

It was evident this young man held a prestigious status in the city of Rising Sun.

"Surname Su?"

Chu Fengmian’s eyes flickered, seeming to ponder something.

"Bad news, senior, please leave quickly."

This woman named Su He, seeing the young man approach, her face suddenly changed drastically, and she quickly spoke to Chu Fengmian.

But before Su He’s words ended, the young man had already walked over, glanced at Chu Fengmian a few times, and upon seeing the top-grade Spirit Stones in Su He’s hands, his gaze grew considerably colder.

"Boy, who are you? Given your low status, how dare you compete with this young master for a woman?"

"En?"

Chu Fengmian glanced at the young man without speaking.

Stealing a woman?

Chu Fengmian was here solely for the Pure Gold Bamboo and couldn’t be bothered to waste words on these people.

"What’s the matter, boy? Got nothing to say? Scared to speak?"

Seeing Chu Fengmian’s silence, the young man frowned and arrogantly scoffed.

"Speak, I really want to see who has the nerve to vie for the woman I’ve set my eyes on!"

"Boy, did my young master address you? Can’t you hear?"

Standing behind the young man, a Martial Artist suddenly stepped forward, shouting angrily at Chu Fengmian.

"Scram!"

A cold smirk appeared at the corner of Chu Fengmian’s mouth as he spat out a word.

"Sir, you..."

Hearing Chu Fengmian speak, Su He’s face suddenly changed drastically, her voice trembling as she hurriedly spoke to Chu Fengmian.

"Sir, this is the young City Lord of Dongsheng City; you should apologize quickly."

After saying this, Su He hastily spoke to the young City Lord.

"Young City Lord, this senior here was just here to shop, please don’t blame him."

"Don’t blame him? A mere boy dares to be presumptuous in front of me?"

The young City Lord said coldly as he looked at Chu Fengmian.

"I think you don’t want to live!"

"Seize this man for me, I’m going to thoroughly torment him!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing his command, the two Martial Artists behind the young City Lord suddenly made a move, their arms reaching straight for Chu Fengmian’s shoulders.

"Looking for death?"

Chu Fengmian’s gaze turned utterly cold.

With his current strength, he truly didn’t have the inclination to bicker with these juniors, but since they were courting death, Chu Fengmian no longer considered any other options.

Branch Sect disciple, he would kill if he wanted to, let alone this minor City Lord of Dongsheng City.

As soon as Chu Fengmian finished speaking, his gaze sharply swept over the two Martial Artists, and immediately their chests seemed to have suffered a heavy blow.

They staggered back numerous steps, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood before collapsing on the spot.

With just one look, the two Martial Artists couldn’t bear it and collapsed.

"What’s going on?"

"What happened?"

"Are those two the City Lord’s Guards? Why did they collapse?"

Many onlookers hurried over after hearing the commotion and witnessed this unbelievable scene.

Two Martial Artists of the seventh level of Yu Feng realm just died like that, with Chu Fengmian still standing in his place without making a move.

"You! You! What sorcery is this!"

Seeing this, the young City Lord’s face changed dramatically, and he shouted loudly.

"How dare you, to kill my guards! This is Dongsheng City! I will not let you leave Dongsheng City alive today!"

The young City Lord’s face turned incredibly ferocious, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he spoke loudly.

"People, come forth, a demon has emerged here! All saints, act quickly and slay the demon!"
