"Everyone hurry to Black Bubble Pond! I heard someone found a hundred or two hundred Fireball Talismans there!"

"What?! Someone found a thousand Fireball Talismans at Black Bubble Pond!"

Just as Wei Suo had anticipated, the three cultivators who had initially gloated, then become consumed by jealousy and anger that it wasn't them who found the rusty iron box, quickly spread the news. In fact, Wei Suo had been waiting for these three guys for a long time. He figured that only low-level cultivators similar to himself would be unlikely to kill and rob him after seeing him take so many Fireball Talismans. Wei Suo had been loitering around Black Bubble Pond, pretending to be busy for an hour or two, before finally encountering these three individuals whom he was confident he could defeat.

However, Wei Suo never imagined the news would spread so wildly. Not only had the number of talismans been exaggerated to mythical proportions, starting from a hundred, then a thousand, and eventually tens of thousands, but all sorts of bizarre rumors had also emerged. Some claimed Wei Suo found a powerful, intact Magic Treasure in Black Bubble Pond, while others spread rumors that he found a seventh-tier Demonic Core.

"No way?"

Wei Suo, the originator of this whole affair, almost fell flat on his face outside a shop in the northern part of the city after buying a Fireball Talisman, when he overheard a conversation between a few people on the street.

These people were actually discussing how someone saw Wei Suo finding the personal undergarments of the most beautiful female cultivator on the Tianxuan Continent thousands of years ago, Bai Ling Xianzi... This was utterly preposterous!

Currently, at least several hundred people had gathered in the Black Bubble Pond swamp. It was said that two significant factions were even fighting fiercely over the priority search rights for a particular section of the swamp. Hearing this, Wei Suo was genuinely tempted to go watch the commotion. However, to be safe, Wei Suo quickly made his way towards a resplendent palace with a large, pure gold plaque bearing the characters "Tianyi" near the eastern city gate.

Just as Wei Suo was hurrying towards that palace, Han Weiwei happened to be aimlessly wandering through the free market outside the city gate.

For any girl, firsts are incredibly important. The first demonic beast Han Weiwei killed was actually those two Stone-tailed Wall Lizards. In reality, she wasn't as foolish as Wei Suo imagined. For her first solo outing to hunt demonic beasts, achieving what she did was quite commendable. However, the two Stone-tailed Wall Lizards she painstakingly killed were snatched away by Wei Suo, and not in a straightforward manner either. He had pretended to pull down his pants in front of her before carrying the lizards away on his back. Therefore, Han Weiwei had an indelible impression of Wei Suo. She had been frequenting the free market these days, thinking that low-level rogue cultivators like Wei Suo might come here to trade. But she hadn't expected Wei Suo to have been holed up at home, desperately refining talismans.

Although Wei Suo's hair was now disheveled, and Han Weiwei had only caught a glimpse of his profile from afar in the free market, she immediately recognized Wei Suo as the scoundrel who had stolen her first.

Recalling how that guy had waved and called out "beauty" when he couldn't be caught, and then suggested they have tea together later, Han Weiwei immediately bit her teeth and chased after Wei Suo without a word.

The building with the large, pure gold plaque bearing the characters "Tianyi" was one of the structures where the Tianyi Sect housed their Teleportation Arrays. Within a radius of thousands of miles around Lingyue City, the Tianyi Sect had established numerous Teleportation Arrays. As Lingyue City itself was located on the edge of the Tianxuan Continent, some of the Tianyi Sect's Teleportation Arrays were even set up beyond the sky. As long as enough Spirit Stones were paid, cultivators in Lingyue City could directly appear thousands of miles away, beyond the sky.

Inside the magnificent Tianyi Sect palace, there was a spacious grand hall with an imposing aura. Sixteen golden dragon-entwined pillars supported the entire hall. In the center of the hall, three Teleportation Arrays, inlaid with various colored crystals and carved with profound runes, were arranged side by side.

"Scoundrel!"

As Han Weiwei burst into the grand hall, she happened to see Wei Suo's back disappearing into the white light of one of the central Teleportation Arrays.

"Quick, activate the array for me!"

Before a Tianyi Sect disciple standing in front of the Teleportation Array could utter a word, Han Weiwei had already tossed three Low-grade Spirit Stones to him. Simultaneously, she stepped onto the very Teleportation Array where Wei Suo had just vanished.

"Where did that guy with the singed hair go?"

As soon as Han Weiwei emerged from the Teleportation Array, she found herself in a barren valley. The Tianyi Sect disciple hadn't been slow either, but in just a moment, Han Weiwei saw that Wei Suo was no longer in the valley before her. Therefore, without even asking where this place was, she directly questioned a somewhat dim-witted young Tianyi Sect disciple responsible for guarding the Teleportation Array nearby.

"He teleported back to Tianjing City through this array." The young Tianyi Sect disciple guarding the array in the valley pointed to another Teleportation Array not far from Han Weiwei.

"What? He just teleported out and then teleported back to the city?" Han Weiwei's eyes widened in disbelief.

"I can't figure out why he teleported out and then back into the city," the young Tianyi Sect disciple replied with a wry smile.

"..." Han Weiwei was speechless. Each use of this Teleportation Array cost two Low-grade Spirit Stones. Although the Tianyi Sect was the most influential sect in Lingyue City, a disciple of this level, even if guarding a Teleportation Array for a day, would at most only receive the three Low-grade Spirit Stones allocated by the sect. This Tianyi Sect disciple, who had seemed a bit slow-witted, had apparently been staring blankly at the Teleportation Array, unable to comprehend how this guy, a mere low-level rogue cultivator at the Second Level of Sea of Consciousness Realm, could afford to spend four Low-grade Spirit Stones just for fun.

While Han Weiwei stood there frozen, two more cultivators teleported over from the Teleportation Array in Tianjing City. Both of them were wearing iron-grey robes, and their cultivation levels were both at the First Level of Circulation Realm. However, Wei Suo was completely unaware of all this. The valley where Han Weiwei and the others were located was called Dragon Origin Valley. Dragon Origin Valley was situated about three hundred miles southeast of Tianjing City. From this valley, one could enter Black Wind Ridge, a mountain range stretching for hundreds of miles, where many areas were filled with peculiar black miasma, and it was inhabited by several types of second-tier demonic beasts, such as the Five-colored Poison Spider. Due to the high flow of cultivators to this area, and the fact that these small, short-distance Teleportation Arrays could only transport a maximum of four people at a time, the Tianyi Sect had established two such small Teleportation Arrays here. Another small array connected to the Teleportation Array west of Lingyue City.

Upon returning to Lingyue City, Wei Suo left the Teleportation Array as quickly as possible, ducked into a nearby alley, and then took out a set of black robes from his satchel to change into, covering his entire head. Afterward, Wei Suo exited the alley through another opening, quickly weaving through several secluded alleyways before finally returning to his small stone house.

Wei Suo, who would get excited at the sight of a single Low-grade Spirit Stone, certainly wouldn't waste four Low-grade Spirit Stones on teleporting for fun. He believed that if someone were to target him, a low-level cultivator like himself would be utterly unable to escape. Under such circumstances, the only method Wei Suo could think of was to utilize the Teleportation Array to shake off potential pursuers. The interval between each teleportation was at least ten seconds, so two consecutive teleports would buy him at least twenty seconds. Those twenty seconds were enough for him to safely slip back into his lair amidst the familiar alleys of the western part of the city.

"Haha, six-six-six, what a lucky name!" Wei Suo, completely unaware that he had just evaded Han Weiwei, poured the entire bag of Low-grade Spirit Stones onto his bed.

A total of seventy Low-grade Spirit Stones, with four used, leaving sixty-six pigeon-egg-sized Low-grade Spirit Stones, which gleamed with a translucent green light on Wei Suo's bed.
