Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Shadowing and Visiting (Please Collect)

Qinglin Square Market.

Fang Xing finished cooking his meal and enjoyed it alone.

Although the chefs on Chuying Star were skilled, the raw materials were far inferior compared to those here.

For the sake of his martial arts, he still preferred dining in Qinglin Square Market.

He only occasionally ordered take-out from Chuying Star to satisfy a craving.

Of course, to keep up appearances, he occasionally stored some daily necessities at his home on Chuying Star, then brought them all here to destroy.

As he was devouring his meal from a large bowl, the tinkling laughter reached his ears, and a fragrant breeze followed, as Hua Feiyue approached gracefully, "Young master..."

She wore a pink dress, meticulously tailored to showcase her proud chest and peach-like buttocks, yet her expression remained very serious, giving the impression of a decent housewife.

Yet, combined with her seductive and enchanting posture, it created a contradicting charisma.

In simple terms, she was temptingly criminal!

Next door, the Demon Catcher neighbor, Yu Xia, who was stepping out, was quite dumbstruck by the scene.

"Have you arrived... There’s no meal for you here, did you bring the spirit stones?"

Fang Xing quickly finished his spirit rice meal and asked.

"I brought them."

Hua Feiyue chuckled softly, walked into the house, and even casually closed the door behind her.

"Hisss..."

Outside, Yu Xia withdrew his interrupted gaze and gasped in cool air, "Brother Fang is truly extraordinary, actually having such a beauty throw herself at him?"

Thinking about himself, who was also handsome, tall, and heroic-looking, why didn’t any female cultivator fancy him?

Truly, comparing oneself to others could be infuriating!

He sighed and decided to go criticize at the Rain Listening Tower.

...

"Young master, three Snake Orchid Fruits, one Golden Dragon Ginseng, three Jade Bone Flowers... all have been sold, amounting to a total of thirteen spirit stones and eight spirit sands... Besides that, there are still thirteen stems of Vermilion Dragon Grass that are unsold. The market previously had a high demand for Vermilion Dragon Grass, but it seems the trend has passed, should we lower the price?"

Hua Feiyue sat upright and started to report the accounts.

"Vermilion Dragon Grass has dropped in price?"

Fang Xing was slightly surprised, but such information could be easily confirmed and there was no need for Hua Feiyue to deceive him.

"It’s probably because some power was exploring new dan recipes or discovered the effects of Vermilion Dragon Grass in feeding demon beasts or other areas, needed a large number for experimentation, and it failed, right?"

Hua Feiyue tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear, such incidents were actually quite common.

"Alright..."

Fang Xing contemplated for a moment and took out a low-grade spirit stone from the small pile Hua Feiyue gave him, along with four spirit sands, and handed them back, "This is what you deserve..."

Although he had to give Hua Feiyue a cut, having someone run errands and still earning more than selling directly to shops was worth it for Fang Xing.

"Thank you, young master!"

Hua Feiyue toyed with the low-grade spirit stone, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.

For a martial artist, earning spirit stones in the market was quite difficult, not to mention her situation.

To have such a livelihood, countless innate experts would envy her!

The more this was the case, the less she minded letting Fang Xing take advantage of her, wanting to firmly keep this business in her hands.

"Um, I appreciate fair trades, just manage it sincerely and there’s nothing here to worry about..."

Fang Xing hinted further and took a wooden box from his room, "This is this time’s medicinal herbs..."

Hua Feiyue’s eyes brightened, opened the wooden box, and started to meticulously check each item.

Fang Xing liked this about her, she was sensible and conducted business professionally.

If one thought they could be his welfare queen by providing some physical benefits without working seriously or even being deceitful, they would be severely underestimating him.

After a moment, Hua Feiyue finished her thorough inspection, "These herbs should sell for about sixteen low-grade spirit stones..."

She felt quite curious in her heart, what kind of channels did this young master have? Maybe there was a silent support team of medicine gatherers behind him since he frequently had many fine herbs available.

Despite this, the joy on her face gradually receded, replaced by a trace of gravity.

"What’s wrong? Is there a problem?"

Fang Xing asked immediately upon noticing her expression.

Thirteen low-grade spirit stones in three days, about a hundred in a month—the stakes were indeed rather high.

According to common sense, it was dangerous for a Qi Cultivation Initial Stage cultivator to have this income; it was barely manageable for a Qi Cultivation Middle Stage in the short term but not sustainable in the long run.

Only a Qi Cultivation Late Stage expert could truly secure it!

This was even after he had secretly suppressed the output of spiritual medicine, yet it seemed trouble still loomed.

"It’s just some prying eyes, the Qingxuan Sect Law Enforcement Team suppresses the market internally, so there isn’t much issue... However, young master should be wary of the channels outside the market, especially during exchanges."

Hua Feiyue cautioned.

"I understand..."

Fang Xing nodded silently, aware that he might have caught the attention of some interested parties and would need to be extra cautious when leaving the market in the future.

’Those attracted by these profits shouldn’t be any real experts...’

In his heart, he scoffed coldly, ’I don’t even need to disguise myself to exit the market... just waiting for someone to try their weapons!’

As for the risk of flipping?

With an electric baton, protective clothing, and a laser gun at his disposal, even a Qi Cultivation Perfect martial artist would hardly pose a real threat, so he naturally had nothing to fear.

In fact, Fang Xing was deliberately not using them, to bait and increase his combat experience!

...

After Hua Feiyue left, Fang Xing monitored the surveillance, a slight smile appearing on his face, "As expected, there’s a tail..."

The area around his residence was naturally a high surveillance zone, even more meticulously guarded than temporary camps outside.

Many seemingly harmless little birds, beetles, and even earthworms formed a tight surveillance network.

As long as one wasn’t a Foundation Establishment Cultivator closely watching with Divine Sense, flaws would generally be discovered.

At this moment, the screen surprisingly showed three groups of people!

"A business dealing with a hundred Spirit Stones a month, is it worth attracting this many people?"

Fang Xing glanced and fell into deep doubt before issuing an order.

...

A Cultivator with a small frame and ordinary facial features, unnoticeable in a crowd, watched Hua Feiyue return home and nodded, "Only in contact with these people?"

He turned and left, not noticing a drone the size of a mosquito moving with the wind, following behind him...

Atop the shed, a Spirit Bird with bright eyes stared at where Hua Feiyue was, then glanced doubtfully beside it.

On the eaves, a yellow sparrow had appeared at some unknown time.

For some reason, when the Spirit Bird saw the lifeless eyes of the yellow sparrow, it suddenly shivered and quickly flapped its wings to fly high.

The yellow sparrow tilted its head, took flight as well, and followed the Spirit Bird.

...

"Three groups of forces... One group has no significant skills, probably just a gang from the slums..."

Gangs were rampant in the slum areas, each dreaming of becoming a Huge Object like the Black Tiger Gang, yet often they were wiped out within a few months.

Then more gangs appeared like cockroaches, endless upon sweeping.

"Such small gangs, having a Qi Cultivation Late Stage gang leader would already be impressive..."

"That’s the sort likely to be interested in my business."

Fang Xing stroked his chin, then looked toward another group, "Black Tiger Gang? One of the three great powers of Qinglin Square interested in my small business? No... the Black Tiger Gang is quite large, with several Qi Cultivation Perfect Cultivators alone, maybe it’s just some personal task of one of their Deacons or Elders? Or perhaps... there’s another reason, focusing on Hua Feiyue?"

Truth be told, initially Fang Xing thought that Chen Yi had only provoked Fu Qing, but now he wasn’t so sure.

Fu Qing, a mere Qi Cultivation Late Stage, couldn’t mobilize so many from the Black Tiger Gang!

’Indeed, there’s something hidden! Unfortunately, the surveillance I set up originally was often only able to watch from afar, unable to meticulously record their every word and subtle action... otherwise, something would definitely have been revealed.’

He felt slightly regretful and then saw the yellow sparrow following the Spirit Bird slowly land on top of a shed.

Before long, the opposite shed suddenly opened, and a middle-aged Cultivator walked out.

The Spirit Bird landed on his shoulder, chirping loudly.

The middle-aged Cultivator took several Elixirs from his chest, feeding his spiritual pet, his expression revealing deep thought.

Then, he actually headed towards the T-Zone.

Shack number fifty-seven.

"He’s here."

Fang Xing exited the underground surveillance room, thoughtfully walking to the living room.

Almost as soon as he arrived, he heard a knock.

THUMP THUMP!

The steady pace of the knock displayed great confidence from the visitor.

"Who is it?"

Fang Xing purposefully inquired.

"An old acquaintance, hoping for a reunion with my fellow Daoist!"

The middle-aged Cultivator’s voice, unexpectedly old, also held a hint of familiarity.

Fang Xing opened the door, and the middle-aged Cultivator immediately slipped inside.

"Who are you?"

Fang Xing’s face showed a trace of puzzlement, but he was not worried.

He never trusted the rules of the market; hence he always wore his Nano Suit when here.

Besides, when a Cultivator and a Martial Artist were this close, the one to worry should never be the latter.

The middle-aged Cultivator slightly smiled at the question, his hand passing over his face.

A layer of blue light flashed.

In an instant, his features shifted, settling on an aged face.

"It’s you, Chen Yi?!"

Fang Xing showed surprise, "Chen Daoist, we’ve only met once, why seek me out?"

"Sigh... back in the Five Scorpion Valley, I made a fleeting mistake and fell out with several sworn brothers... now thinking back, I truly regret it."

Chen Yi’s face was bitter, "But I have an unspeakable plight, previously hearing that Daoist friend saved my younger fifth sister’s orphaned family, and later took in my second younger sister, I specifically came to offer thanks..."

’To offer thanks? Not here to silence me?’

Fang Xing inwardly commented.

Yet he perceptively felt that this Chen Yi seemed even more dangerous than before.

He wasn’t a Cultivator with no Spirit Eye Skill, able to clearly see the levels of another’s cultivation technique, relying only on a Martial Artist’s intuition!

But he trusted his intuition!

’Wasn’t this Chen Yi a Qi Cultivation Middle Stage Cultivator? Even if it’s the sixth level, it shouldn’t give me a sense of danger... unless, he broke through to the Qi Cultivation Late Stage recently?’

Fang Xing was slightly stirred; this was an unthinkable matter.

After all, most Cultivators in the market had poor Spirit Root aptitudes, even those trapped in a bottleneck for a lifetime.

Chen Yi had struggled for half his life before, only associating with Innate Martial Artists, calling them brothers, which showed not only was his aptitude poor, but his fortune wasn’t great either, perhaps stuck at Qi Cultivation Middle Stage till death!

A true cultivation genius, why would they ever wish to associate with Martial Artists?

But nothing is absolute!

Reaching such an age and still breaking through the bottleneck from Qi Cultivation Middle Stage to Late Stage, clearly, a ’great opportunity’ occurred!
