Street Stall Storm

Wu Xulong's words immediately drew ridicule.

"What nonsense, how could a bottom-tier branch like Tianchen City have a Tier 3 Alchemist? What an exaggeration."

"Haha, the elixir competition hasn't even started, and the bragging has already begun."

Hearing the quiet mockery around him, Feng Qiulin also burst into laughter.

"Wu Xulong, are you out of your mind? You actually said he's a Tier 3 Alchemist."

"If this kid is a Tier 3 Alchemist, then I'm a Pill Saint."

"It seems your Tianchen City branch is getting more and more desolate, actually bringing a greenhorn to participate in the competition."

Yang Lingtian remained calm and didn't say a word.

Because no amount of words would be effective; only strength mattered.

Yang Lingtian coldly said, "You short-sighted fools, we'll see the truth on the competition stage."

Then he looked at Wu Xulong: "Branch Leader, let's go, no need to pay attention to these clowns."

Wu Xulong nodded, and led Yang Lingtian away.

Leaving Feng Qiulin and the other still cursing behind their backs.

After arriving at the inn, Yang Lingtian finally asked, "Branch Leader, do you have a grudge against that Mingkai City Branch Leader? He kept taunting you as soon as you met."

"It's just a small feud, well, let's not talk about it, it's been a long time." Wu Xulong sighed.

Since Wu Xulong didn't want to say more, Yang Lingtian didn't ask further.

Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Branch Leader, I'd like to wander around the capital by myself later."

"After all, it's my first time here, and I find it quite novel."

"You can, but remember to bring the identity token you got earlier, otherwise you won't be able to get back into the inn."

"Understood!"

Afterward, Yang Lingtian and Branch Leader Wu Xulong each returned to their rooms.

After resting for a while, Yang Lingtian went out.

There was still some time before the elixir competition, so he took the opportunity to go out and see the prosperity of the capital.

Walking on the streets of Moonshadow City, Yang Lingtian looked left and right.

He came to the street also to see if he could find treasures like the Black Stone Golden Feather Stone he encountered last time.

Obviously, there were too many capable people and strange individuals in the capital.

They were knowledgeable and experienced, so it wouldn't be his turn to find bargains.

Yang Lingtian wandered around for most of the day but didn't find any rare treasures to snatch up.

At this moment, he saw an empty space in an area with street stalls.

An idea struck him; if others could set up stalls, so could he.

There must be many wealthy people in the capital.

And he had more than a dozen Low-grade Spirit Artifacts obtained from the Nascent Soul cave dwelling, which were useless to keep.

It would be better to set up a stall and sell them for Spirit Stones.

Having made up his mind, he went directly to the empty space and began to set up his stall.

However, he didn't take out all the Spirit Artifacts; instead, he took out one first.

The Low-grade Spirit Artifact exuded a sharp aura, attracting a lot of attention.

The stall owner next to him looked at Yang Lingtian with surprise, then his eyes lit up as he looked at the Low-grade Spirit Artifact.

Although he was only Qi Refining Level 9, he still recognized the unique aura emitted by the Low-grade Spirit Artifact.

He had been setting up a stall for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen someone taking out a Low-grade Spirit Artifact to set up a stall.

"Hey, young man, Low-grade Spirit Artifacts are so precious, why are you taking them out to set up a street stall?" the stall owner next to him asked.

Yang Lingtian turned to look at the stall owner and said with a faint smile, "I have too many Spirit Artifacts, so I'm taking them out to exchange for some Spirit Stones."

The stall owner disdainfully said, "Young man, what are you bragging about, saying you have too many Spirit Artifacts."

"You didn't secretly take out your family heirloom to sell, did you!"

This stall owner was only at the Qi Refining Stage, and in his opinion, a Low-grade Spirit Artifact was already a treasure.

Even in the capital, generally only Golden Core experts and some Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators with deep backgrounds could possess one.

Even in some families, a Low-grade Spirit Artifact was a treasure to guard the clan.

"You don't believe me? Why don't you buy them all?" Yang Lingtian said indifferently.

"I can't afford it, but young man, I'm reminding you, be careful of being targeted by bullies if you take out such precious treasures to display."

"Thanks for the reminder, but don't worry, I can handle it myself if there really are bullies."

Yang Lingtian taking out a Low-grade Spirit Artifact to display attracted the attention of many people.

However, most of the people on the street were mortals, as well as some low-level cultivators.

They knew they couldn't afford it at all, so they could only look.

At this moment, a young man in gorgeous clothes walked over with a few subordinates, looking like a wealthy young master from some family.

"Hey, stall owner, how much are you selling this Low-grade Spirit Artifact for?" the young man asked Yang Lingtian.

"Three million Low-grade Spirit Stones!" Yang Lingtian answered directly.

Their Chen Family specialized in forging weapons, and when the materials were complete, they would occasionally forge Low-grade Spirit Artifacts for sale.

Therefore, they were very aware of its price, the bottom price of a Low-grade Spirit Artifact was generally three million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

The young man looked at Yang Lingtian, and then at the Low-grade Spirit Artifact.

He said meaningfully, "I'll check how this Spirit Artifact feels first, no objections, right?"

"Go ahead!" Yang Lingtian replied expressionlessly.

Then, the young man picked up the Low-grade Spirit Artifact and examined it carefully.

After a while, his face suddenly changed, and he questioned, "Isn't this the Low-grade Spirit Artifact that my family lost last night?"

"This little brother, explain to me, how is this Spirit Artifact here with you? Did you steal it?"

Yang Lingtian's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he instantly understood that this kid was trying to extort him!

The stall owner selling medicinal herbs next to him seemed to suddenly realize, "So this Low-grade Spirit Artifact isn't yours."

"No wonder you took it out to set up a stall, I was wondering, who would take their own Spirit Artifact out as a stall item."

With the stall owner next to him echoing, the people present also felt it made sense.

Yang Lingtian sneered at the young man, "Which of your dog eyes saw me steal your family's Spirit Artifact? You need evidence to speak."

"How dare you speak to my young master like that? My young master is Tianxiong Lie, the son of the Tianxiong Family's head." The subordinate next to him shouted first.

"What Tianxiong Family? I don't know. If you want to buy, buy. If not, get lost." Yang Lingtian responded unceremoniously.

This man named Tianxiong Lie, seeing that revealing his identity didn't scare the other party, said angrily, "You're from out of town, aren't you!"

"You don't even know my Tianxiong Family? Our family is a powerful family with a Golden Core Peak old ancestor."

"I say you stole this Spirit Artifact, then you stole it. Now I'm taking back what belongs to my family."

A gleam flashed in Yang Lingtian's eyes, then he quickly reached out and snatched the Spirit Artifact back from Tianxiong Lie's hand.

The speed was too fast, Tianxiong Lie didn't even react.

While he was stunned, Yang Lingtian said coldly, "Funny, if your family is so powerful, how could a Spirit Artifact be stolen?"

Coming back to his senses, Tianxiong Lie said angrily, "Kid, you better be sensible and not lose your life in the capital for a Low-grade Spirit Artifact."

"You're trying to rob me by force?" A chill flashed in Yang Lingtian's eyes, and then an aura of the Foundation Establishment Stage instantly erupted.

Everyone present's expression changed drastically, they didn't expect Yang Lingtian to be a Foundation Establishment expert.

At this moment, two figures suddenly rushed out from a distance, blocking Tianxiong Lie.

The cultivation of these two suddenly appearing cultivators had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, it seemed they were guards responsible for secretly protecting Tianxiong Lie.

Tianxiong Lie and the other subordinates were only at the Qi Refining Stage.

Although there were many Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in the capital, they were still relatively rare in proportion.

So it was indeed rare for a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator to set up a stall, Tianxiong Lie originally thought Yang Lingtian was only at the Qi Refining Stage.

With the appearance of these two Foundation Establishment Stage guards, Tianxiong Lie also gained confidence.

He ordered the two Foundation Establishment guards, "This kid dares to despise my Tianxiong Family, capture him for me."

Just as the two Foundation Establishment experts were about to attack, a deep voice came.

"Stop!"

Then a figure fell from the sky, exuding the powerful aura of a Golden Core expert.

The person who came was Wu Xulong.

He saw that Yang Lingtian hadn't returned for a long time and was worried that something had happened, so he came out to look for him.

He sensed Yang Lingtian's aura that he had just erupted, so he rushed over.

Golden Core experts were also top experts in the capital, and in the capital, as long as they had a Golden Core expert, they were considered a not-small family.

Wu Xulong exuded the aura of a Golden Core expert, which also changed the expressions of Tianxiong Lie and the others.

He didn't know what relationship this person had with Yang Lingtian, so he tentatively asked.

"I am from the Tianxiong Family, I wonder what relationship this Golden Core cultivator has with this little brother?"

Facing the Tianxiong Family, Wu Xulong was still somewhat apprehensive.

However, as a Golden Core expert, he couldn't lose the prestige of a Golden Core expert in the face of juniors.

"You don't need to know, but it should have been a misunderstanding just now, Young Master Tianxiong Lie, why don't we just let it go!"

Tianxiong Lie glanced at Wu Xulong, he didn't want to provoke a Golden Core expert either, and then prepared to retreat.

Just then, another voice came.

"Hahaha, I never expected someone claiming to be a Tier 3 Alchemist to actually set up a stall in the market!"

"This is unheard of, utterly shameful!" A figure slowly walked out from the crowd.

Wu Xulong frowned when he saw this person; it was his nemesis, Feng Qiulin.

"Feng Qiulin, this is none of your business, don't interfere," Wu Xulong said sternly.

Feng Qiulin ignored Wu Xulong and continued speaking to the crowd.

"Everyone may not know, but this person is Wu Xulong, the Pavilion Master of the True Elixir Pavilion's Tianchen City branch."

"And this little brother with the stall claims to be a Tier 3 Alchemist, brought here by Pavilion Master Wu to participate in the Grand Competition."

At this moment, Wu Xulong's expression was unsightly. Feng Qiulin clearly wanted to make him a laughingstock here, with his veiled sarcasm.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the onlookers burst into ridicule.

"What the hell? Tier 3 Alchemists are so esteemed, how could they possibly set up a stall?"

"Exactly, claiming to be a Tier 3 Alchemist? So young, already a swindler."

"Pavilion Master Wu actually brought him to participate in the elixir competition? Doesn't he feel ashamed?"

"It is said that the Tianchen City branch has been at the bottom for several consecutive competitions. This time, they probably have no hope and just found someone at random."
