This Kid Has Extremely Strange Luck

The reason Plum Blossom Mountain's Immortal Market is so lively is twofold: firstly, the number of demons far exceeds that of cultivators from immortal sects. Secondly, Plum Blossom Mountain is one of the five great sacred mountains of the Demon Race, and its six Great Sun Saints are renowned. Within a thousand-mile radius, there are no other major immortal sects, forcing many rogue cultivators to trade only at the Plum Blossom Mountain Immortal Market.

It's fortunate that the mountain lords understand that while demons can do business with each other, they are generally poor at alchemy, crafting talismans, or setting up formations. Their transactions usually involve nothing more than extracting demon cores or forcefully seizing spirit medicine. Only by allowing human cultivators to come and go can the market thrive and provide the mountain's demons with much-needed cultivation resources.

Furthermore, most demons lack proper cultivation methods. While cultivators wouldn't sell fundamental Daoist techniques, they often trade commonly known external spells that even their own sects don't care about. These are exactly what the mountain's demons require.

Therefore, the Plum Blossom Mountain Immortal Market has never prohibited human cultivators and even offers them some protection.

However, cultivators who dare to trade there still worry about their safety and always travel in groups, forming caravans, rarely acting alone.

Jiang Ningxue, Xie Zhanrou, and Chen Ganliu entered the Plum Blossom Mountain Immortal Market. In the eyes of the crowd, they were just three insignificant demons, and no one paid them any mind.

Upon arriving at the Immortal Market, Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou became very excited, wandering around and having a great time.

The two women didn't buy anything expensive. After all, what good things could an ordinary immortal market offer them? They had everything on Three Saints Island. They only picked up some strange and unusual items, spending money with great abandon.

Although Chen Ganliu had some spirit stones and talisman coins, he didn't dare to spend them carelessly. Instead, he felt a pang of regret for the merit he had earned previously, wondering if his two senior sisters had taken it or if it was still lost in Blazing Light Cave, Twin Cloud Mountain.

He knew he couldn't ask about it, as it would make him seem petty and damage his senior sisters' good impression of him.

His two senior sisters were generous people. They would casually give away even formed demon insects or sets of brocade handkerchiefs. They also readily gave away demon cores from wild boar demons. Such people disliked stingy individuals the most.

Chen Ganliu could only hope that if he had the chance in the future, he could return to Blazing Light Cave and try his luck. What if it was still there?

His cultivation was insufficient. Although he kept close to the two women, after a few turns, he lost sight of them in a moment of carelessness. Greatly alarmed, he hurried to find them, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find his senior sisters.

As Chen Ganliu grew anxious and searched everywhere, someone suddenly patted his shoulder, and a smiling voice said in his ear, "Fancy meeting you again."

Chen Ganliu turned around and saw an unfamiliar man with thin, long whiskers and a sallow complexion, but with a pair of exceptionally bright and spirited eyes.

Chen Ganliu quickly said, "Brother, I don't think we know each other."

The stranger chuckled, "Don't you still call me Third Ancestor Hu?"

Chen Ganliu was greatly startled and whispered, "So it's Sister Sheng."

Why had Yang Xuesheng transformed into this appearance? Just as Chen Ganliu's doubts arose, he smelled a trace of demonic energy and asked in surprise, "Sister Sheng, why have you become a demon?"

Yang Xuesheng smiled, "Coming to Plum Blossom Mountain, how could I dare to be ostentatious?"

"I borrowed a demon core from a weasel demon and used a spell to conceal my aura, as well as changed my appearance. Only then did I dare to come here boldly."

"Huh! Why do you also have demonic energy?"

"This method of mine is a secret art from Jinyun Mountain. No one in the Green Leaf Sect knows it?"

"Are you here to find spirit medicine for your master?"

Chen Ganliu quickly replied, "Uncle-Master Yang, it's not like that. I was kidnapped."

"My kidnapper is a Demonic Sect Golden Core Great Cultivator. I don't know where they went just now, but they might return later."

"There are some things that are inconvenient to say here. Where does Sister Sheng live? I'll come find you tonight? We can chat later, brother and sister."

Although logically Chen Ganliu should have addressed Yang Xuesheng as "Little Uncle-Master," they had known each other for a long time. Also, Chen Ganliu didn't want to unnecessarily lower his generation. Thirdly, this address felt more intimate. Not calling her "Little Uncle-Master" but "Sister Sheng" would bring endless benefits in the future.

He was worried about being discovered by his senior sisters, Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou. These two demonesses were in the Golden Core Realm. Although Yang Xuesheng's magical power was not weak, she was no match for them. Therefore, he first explained the situation and then arranged to meet later.

Yang Xuesheng was surprised and was about to ask a question when she heard Chen Ganliu exclaim, "Two Senior Sisters, your junior brother is here."

She didn't dare to look back and brushed past Chen Ganliu. After walking a considerable distance, she looked back and saw Chen Ganliu chatting and laughing with two beautiful women. How could he possibly be kidnapped?

Yang Xuesheng marveled inwardly, thinking, "This kid has such strange luck. How did he get two more sisters in such a short time?"

"No, not sisters, Senior Sisters!"

"He said those two women are demonic cultivators..."

"Oh no! Could they be disciples of that Great Demon, Yao Hanshan?"

Yang Xuesheng was shocked and didn't dare to look further, hurrying away.

Chen Ganliu was still slightly regretful that he hadn't gotten Yang Xuesheng's address. He mused, "Originally, I wanted to come to Plum Blossom Mountain through Sister Sheng's connections. I didn't expect her to actually have connections, but I ended up with other women."

"Although it sounds like I'm being a scumbag, in reality, I'm not that kind of person."

Jiang Ningxue pinched his ear and said, "Why were you running around so recklessly?"

"This is Plum Blossom Mountain! It's full of powerful demons, and some of them even have stronger magical powers than both of us. What if you were captured and eaten alive?"

Chen Ganliu quickly admitted his mistake and said, "It was my fault for being playful. I lost focus for a moment and couldn't find you two Senior Sisters. I promise it won't happen again."

Jiang Ningxue chuckled, knowing she was wrongly accusing Chen Ganliu. But this junior disciple was so mischievous that she couldn't help but tease him.

Xie Zhanrou smiled from the side, "That woman just now, was she from the Green Leaf Sect?"

Chen Ganliu's heart skipped a beat, and then he realized. He was only at the Second Layer of Qi Condensation. Although Yang Xuesheng had strong magical power, she was still only at the Qi Refining level. How could she possibly deceive two Golden Core Great Cultivators?

He honestly admitted, "She is my Little Uncle-Master from the Green Leaf Sect. She takes great care of me, so we just chatted for a bit."

Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou cultivated on Three Saints Island overseas and had never been to the mainland before this. Therefore, they didn't recognize Yang Xuesheng. Even if they had known Yang Xuesheng's identity, they wouldn't have cared.

Jinyun Mountain's Yang Shiyilang, despite having some reputation, was not something these two demonesses would pay attention to.

The two women, upon hearing she was from the Green Leaf Sect, laughed together and said, "This place is already thousands of miles away from the Green Leaf Sect. Do you think they would send someone to rescue you?"

Chen Ganliu gave a wry smile and said, "I only joined the sect a few months ago, and I've only met my master once. Moreover, my aptitude is poor. Even if I got lost, the Green Leaf Sect probably wouldn't search for me. This was a true chance encounter."

The two women could tell that Chen Ganliu wasn't lying. They said in unison, "Since you are a disciple of Three Saints Island, stop thinking about the Green Leaf Sect. We'll allow you to chat with your old sect elders later, but don't have any frivolous thoughts."
