This Grudge, She'll Remember.

Bai Lan can reload her save!

When faced with a probability-based gameplay, a player who can save and reload can almost guarantee getting the highest reward.

She just needs to reload a few hundred times, trying out every Storage Bag on the stalls...

No, her goal this trip is the Destined Female Lead's Spatial Black Stone.

Bai Lan forced herself to look away.

She only had seven Spirit Stones left, obtained from Long Aotian, and she didn't know the price of the Spatial Black Stone yet, so she couldn't rashly spend her entire budget.

Suppressing the urge to go gamble at the stalls, Bai Lan turned away.

Even though she liked going all-in, the Spatial Black Stone was more appealing to her at the moment.

She had no interest in things that already belonged to the Destined Female Lead, nor did she want to scheme to get that jade bracelet.

But that black stone was currently ownerless, so she was willing to try and snatch it.

Who wouldn't want a storage space!

After browsing the Marketplace for a few laps, her gaze slowly swept over the stalls on both sides.

The stall that the Destined Female Lead could see after just a couple of steps in the plot, Bai Lan had to circle the entire Marketplace before finally spotting a pure black stone at an inconspicuous stall in a corner.

It was the same size as a Spirit Stone, but its texture was dark and shiny. Although it wasn't very eye-catching among the other items, Bai Lan noticed it at a glance.

Is this the difference between ordinary people and the Lord of Destiny?

Things that were within reach of the Lord of Destiny required ordinary people to pay ten times the price to have a chance of obtaining them.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Lan walked forward.

"D-Daoist friend, what do you need?"

The person manning the stall was a young girl who looked a bit shy. Seeing someone approach, she looked up and asked.

The stall had many miscellaneous items: spirit herbs, pills, Talismans, and some strange but faintly spiritual trinkets.

Bai Lan casually browsed a few items on her stall before saying lightly, "How much are the Talismans?"

"Ah, low-grade yellow Talismans are two Spirit Stones each, mid-grade are three Spirit Stones each, and high-grade are five Spirit Stones each..."

Bai Lan secretly swallowed.

So expensive.

Talismans were disposable items, one use and one less. It would be better for her to draw them herself.

Without showing anything, she placed the Talismans back.

"This little trinket is quite exquisite, but it doesn't seem to be a spiritual artifact, right? The Spiritual Energy is so thin, how many Spirit Stones?" Bai Lan's gaze gradually moved to the pure black stone, but she suppressed the urge to touch it, picking up a folding fan next to the black stone to play with.

The girl was clearly socially awkward, her voice getting softer and softer: "This... this was left by my elder brother. I don't know what it's used for, it's just a small item containing Spiritual Energy. It really seems... really useless. If you want it, Daoist friend, I can give it to you for two Spirit Stones?"

Bai Lan found it amusing. This little sister was so innocently cute. Who sells things by introducing them so honestly?

If a shrewd merchant were to sell this folding fan.

They would definitely praise it to the heavens, saying it was a treasure retrieved from the depths of a secret realm at great peril, and then they would price it differently for everyone, asking anywhere between ten and a hundred Spirit Stones.

Bai Lan was planning to haggle, but when her peripheral vision accidentally caught sight of something in the distance...

The familiar figure in her sight seemed to be walking in her direction. Bai Ling had arrived, and beside her was likely her fellow disciple, Senior Brother?

They're here so quickly.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Bai Lan took out four Spirit Stones and said slowly, "I'll take this folding fan. This little black stone also seems quite interesting. For these two items, are four Spirit Stones enough?"

"Yes, of course, it's enough." The stall owner girl nodded happily.

These items had been on her stall for a year. Being able to sell them now was already a miracle.

After handing over the four Spirit Stones, Bai Lan, with lightning speed, put the small black stone into her Storage Bag and got up to leave without hesitation.

"Wait a moment, Junior Nephew, why are you leaving as soon as you see me? I'm not some ferocious beast." Bai Ling's voice came from behind.

According to seniority, Bai Ling's Master was True Person Qing Xuan, making Bai Ling of the same generation as those in Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, Bai Lan had to call her Martial Aunt.

"...Junior Nephew, what you said yesterday truly hurt me. Martial Aunt tried her best to help you enter Jade Purity Peak. I begged Master for a long time." Bai Ling's eyes held a smile, but her words carried barbs.

Nan Xianshi called Qing Xuan 'Master', which was normal.

Bai Ling called Qing Xuan 'Esteemed Master', which was quite telling.

Everyone else called him Master, but she was special. It made sense, after all, she was the Destined Female Lead.

But it wasn't widely known that calling someone 'Master' was perfectly normal.

However, when a disciple called their Master 'Esteemed Master', the implication was different.

If 'Esteemed Master' were thrown into a pond... the outcome...

Bai Lan looked at Bai Ling, who had a proud expression, and shook her head helplessly, her voice laced with a smile, "Do you always have to beat around the bush when you speak? Do you want me to join Jade Purity Peak for my own good, or do you want to step on your former sister, who was once high and mighty, beneath your feet?"

Bai Ling's smile faded as Bai Lan's words hit her mercilessly.

"Don't treat others like fools. I see exactly what you're planning," Bai Lan chuckled. "Don't forget, your leverage is still in my hands. Don't make me unhappy."

Bai Lan's gaze swept over the bracelet on Bai Ling's wrist, and she chuckled again. "If you keep bothering me like this, I can't guarantee I won't say something I shouldn't."

Others didn't understand Bai Lan's words, but Bai Ling did.

Her expression tightened. Since entering the sect, she had been accepted as a direct disciple by the Master, doted on by the Senior Brothers of Jade Purity Peak, and held in high regard by lower-level disciples who called her Aunt-Master.

She had already forgotten that her biggest secret was still in Bai Lan's possession.

"How dare you speak so rudely to our Little Junior Sister!" a young man's voice boomed, clearly annoyed.

The pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage suddenly descended. The young man beside Bai Ling spoke angrily, "In terms of status, our Little Junior Sister is your aunt-master. In terms of talent, she's a hundred times better than you. What right do you have to scold her?"

A sweet sensation rose in Bai Lan's throat, and her brow furrowed.

"Host! Are you alright?" The System panicked and quickly stepped forward to support Bai Lan. "Damn it, how dare they use their cultivation to release their pressure indiscriminately! That's not how you fight!"

Bai Lan, however, was not surprised. She patted the System's shoulder reassuringly.

The cultivation world was like this. If you had power, you could do as you pleased.

The Azure Sect's rules prohibited fellow disciples from harming each other, but they didn't prevent high-level cultivators from using their pressure to intimidate others.

Still, she wouldn't forget this grievance.

"I didn't intend to reveal your secret, but now, I've changed my mind."

She was indeed angry about being injured by someone's pressure for no reason.

She couldn't deal with Xiao Tianqi, but extorting a bit of money from a mere Destined Female Lead was something Bai Lan could easily handle.
