Chapter 41: Chapter 39: Return to Blue Star (Please Follow)


    Watching Gu Weonian and Chen Yun leave, Su Jie stood in ce for a while.


    Noticing some restless nces, he turned around and went back to the center of the ck Market.


    “So impatient already?”


    As Su Jie walked, he pondered in his heart.


    He had already sensed several groups of people secretly watching him, many groups were eyeing him.


    Clearly, the wealth he held now had tempted far too many people.


    Moreover, being an Outer Disciple, they had even fewer scruples about making a move.


    Turning around, he once again entered the central area of the ck Market and went straight to a building.


    Spiritual Pill Association!


    On the que hung threerge gilded characters; Su Jie strode inside.


    As the name suggested, the Spiritual Pill Association was a shop specialized in selling various kinds of elixirs.


    The store not only bloomed all over the Qingzhou region but also had a branch in the ck Market of Ghost Ridge Pce.


    “Mr. Su, pleasee in, pleasee in. Your presence truly brings light to our humble shop!”


    The shopkeeper, seeing Su Jie, immediately shone with excitement, and greeted him with great enthusiasm.


    Today, Su Jie had made quite a stir in the ck Market. Many merchants recognized him and knew very well that he was extraordinarily wealthy and had money to spend.


    “Shopkeeper, take me to the second floor.”


    Su Jie nced around; the first floor mainly sold wed and low-grade low-level elixirs, mostly crude products crafted by apprentices, which no longer interested him.


    The real treasures were on the second floor, where even mid-grade elixirs were sold.


    “Absolutely, Mr. Su, this way, please.”


    The shopkeeper’s face bloomed into a chrysanthemum, eagerly bowing to lead the way.


    Upstairs, as soon as Su Jie entered, he smelled the intoxicating faint scent of medicine, which made the spiritual power in his body circte faster.


    Wherever he looked,rge sparkling ss dishes disyed each glittering, colorful elixir.


    Even standing at a distance, he could feel the powerful spiritual charm fluctuations emitted by these elixirs.


    With a massive umtion of elixirs, the spiritual energy half-liquefied in the air, forming mists of swirling spiritual power.


    The elixirs disyed here were at least Lower Grade Intermediate, and there were even several Mid-grade Elixirs.


    “How many Nine Yang Pills are left?”


    After scanning around, Su Jie spoke up.


    Nine Yang Pills were a Lower Grade Intermediate elixir, crafted with nine types of yang attribute nts as the main ingredients and arge amount of yin attribute nts as secondary, refined by a Lower Grade Alchemist.


    After consumption, it could regte the cirction of spiritual energy in the body, nourish spiritual power, and elerate cultivation.


    “Responding to Mr. Su, our shop has a total of 15 Nine Yang Pills left. Are you…”


    The shopkeeper’s heart stirred the moment he saw Su Jie wave his hand grandly.


    “Fifteen, not many. Wrap them all up for me; I’m buying them all.”


    Hearing such a generous offer, the shopkeeper’s smile grew even brighter, and even his back teeth showed.


    One Nine Yang Pill was worth twenty blood Marrow Crystals, fifteen equaled three hundred Blood Marrow Crystals—a truly big customer indeed!


    “Mr. Su, please wait a moment. I’ll wrap them up for you right away.”


    Responding, the shopkeeper hurriedly went to pack the elixirs for Su Jie.


    Some ten minutester, Su Jie left the Spiritual Pill Association under the enthusiastic farewell of the shopkeeper.


    “Blood Marrow Crystals that I couldn’t earn in a year, now exchanged for elixirs, something I wouldn’t dare think about in the past.”


    Looking at the jade bottle he was holding, Su Jie secretly felt moved, enjoying the thrill of being wealthy.


    Such Nine Yang Pills, if it were the Su Jie of the past, would have taken a month of saved Blood Marrow Crystals, living without eating or drinking, just to barely afford one.


    Now, he bought fifteen in one go, and at the rate of consuming one every three days, it would be enough for Su Jie for a month and a half, probably making him the most extravagant among the Outer Disciples.


    After leaving the Spiritual Pill Association, Su Jie headed straight to a building not far away that bore therge sign of the Tiangong Pavilion, which primarily sold various special Magic Artifacts.@@novelbin@@


    Upon entering the store, Su Jie was also warmly greeted by the shopkeeper.


    “Shopkeeper, get me a Storage Bag, the smallest size will do.”


    “Our Tiangong Pavilion Storage Bags, the smallest storage area one sells for 99 Blood Marrow Crystals.”


    “Bought it.”


    One minuteter, Su Jie had a small blue Storage Bag in his hand.


    The Storage Bag was crafted from a rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure called the Nine Heavens Crystal Stone, which could only be refined by a Mid-grade Refiner or above and was always pricey.


    Even the smallest Storage Bag Su Jie had, measuring just one cubic meter, was valued at 99 Blood Marrow Crystals.


    Therefore, Storage Bags were typically unaffordable for Outer Disciples, only Inner Disciples would choose to wear one.


    After opening the Storage Bag with Spiritual Power, Su Jie stuffed in his Blood Marrow Crystals, White Bone Sky ying Sword, elixirs, and other such items.


    Yet, Su Jie did not stop his steps; he continued on a major shopping spree.


    In a few hours, he sessively bought various objects rted to cultivation.


    For instance, cushions that could calm the mind, sandalwood that elerated meditation, and misceneous items like Spirit Grain and spirit water that could condition the body and slightly enhance physical strength.


    After a round of shopping, most ck market merchants knew that a rich client had arrived; they greeted Su Jie with extraordinary enthusiasm as soon as they saw him.


    Even the beautifully dressed updies from Wan Hua Building, who enticed guests in the brothel to listen to songs, came out to the streets, pulling Su Jie to enjoy their pleasures.


    Fortunately, Su Jie was upright andpletely opposed to gambling and drugs, ultimately managing to refuse them on the grounds of not having much money left, though it was extremely difficult.


    While Su Jie happily shopped, this scene made those secretly watching him grow anxious.


    A few Ghost Ridge Pce Disciples lowered their hoods, pretending to be passersby, and quietly discussed.


    “Howe he keeps shopping? He must have spent all his Blood Marrow Crystals.”


    “No matter, we’ll get those items anyway, and besides, he still has the White Bone Sky ying Sword.”


    “Let’s take action immediately once he leaves the ck market, to avoid others beating us to it.”


    Unfortunately, these insidious Disciples didn’t know that Su Jie had no intention of confronting them directly.


    Walking on the ck market streets, Su Jie, having spent over a thousand Blood Marrow Crystals, looked at his full Storage Bag and nodded satisfactorily.


    These supplies were enough for him tofortably cultivate for a couple of months without worrying about external disturbances.


    “Tsk, over twenty people, wow, there are actually more than thirty waiting for me, do they think I’m some kind of essential giblet?”


    Noticing this from his Reconnaissance Dragonfly secretly, Su Jie muttered to himself.


    With Su Jie’s current strength, he was definitely unable to handle so many greedy jackals and hyenas.


    But Su Jie had no intention of tangling with them; it’s better to avoid what you can’t oppose.


    “Once my Divine Skill is fully developed, I’lle back and ughter you all one by one.”


    With a cold snort, Su Jie turned into a deserted alley, entered an abandoned courtyard, then closed the door, opened the Ancient Mirror, and stepped through, returning to the Blue Star World.


    Long after Su Jie had left, those Disciples realized something was wrong and hurriedly blocked the alley.


    Wave after wave of Ghost Ridge Pce Disciples from different groups, but with the same purpose, met each other and felt a bit awkward.


    Awkward as it was, knowing what the others were there for, the Disciples started searching in the alley.


    Unfortunately, these Ghost Ridge Pce Disciples turned the alley upside down but couldn’t find a single hair from Su Jie.


    That was expected, unless they could chase him to the Blue Star, finding him would be impossible.


    Unable to find the person, these Disciples naturally became agitated and even suspected someone had secretly killed Su Jie.


    No one knew who started it, but these Disciples began using each other and eventually even fought amongst themselves, ending in aplete mess.
