Before the stall stood a boy of about ten years old. He was none other than the Xunyan Sect disciple Xiao Hua had seen outside Jingbo City, the same one who had been mocked when Xiao Hua first came to the market!
The boy was far from the arrogant figure Xiao Hua remembered. His face was flushed red with anger, while his eyes held a trace of stubbornness and sorrow. In his hand, he tightly clutched an utterly ordinary-looking jade pendant!
"Fellow Daoist, although your cultivation is higher than mine, you cannot simply force a purchase! I already told you that this is a jade talisman, not an ordinary jade pendant as you claim. If you want to trade for it, bring out a top-grade spirit stone or something of equal value. So long as I am satisfied, I will certainly oblige you!" The stall owner was a tall, fair-faced man of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, yet his cultivation was only at the Qi Cultivation third layer.
"You... you Rogue Cultivators are utterly unreasonable! Though I have never seen a jade talisman, I know of yellow talismans, spirit talismans, and jade talismans. There is not the slightest trace of spiritual qi inside this jade pendant. How could it be a jade talisman?" the boy said hurriedly, his voice trembling somewhat.
"Fellow Daoist, it is true that I am a Rogue Cultivator, but who says Rogue Cultivators cannot possess jade talismans? A jade talisman already contains talismanic inscriptions, so naturally it has no Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within it. Do I even need to explain that to you? Who knows whether you were sleeping when your elders taught you?" the Rogue Cultivator said without the slightest courtesy.
"Hahaha!" The onlookers all burst into laughter.
"You... I am a Xunyan Sect disciple!
