Chapter 221: Standing in Other’s Shoes (1)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Watching the back of the man in red, Rong Yi narrowed his eyes, “His back looks so familiar. I guess I saw him somewhere else before.”

Yin Jinye said, “We’ll know after catching him.”

“Is his cultivation level high?”

“I guess so.”

“Guess so? Even you can’t tell what phase his cultivation is at?”

Yin Jinye slightly knitted his brows, “He might have used some magic weapon to cover it. I see that his cultivation level is high a minute ago and low the next. Sometimes he is at Golden Elixir, but sometimes he is at Mahayana, and his spiritual qi also keeps changing. Sometimes it’s immortal cultivation, but sometimes it’s evil cultivation.”

Xiu Zhuo said coldly, “We have so many people. We’ll be able to catch him however high his cultivation is.”

On seeing that the man in red was leaving, Rong Yi immediately sent some people to follow him. Only the next morning did they bring back news saying that the man in red checked in Liuhe Inn in Qingwu Town, about six thousand li away from Heshan Town, and ten thousand li away from Haishan Town. Apparently that man was avoiding the cultivators who were after him.

Rong Yi and others then checked in the inn Yin Jinye’s people had arranged for them.

One of Yin Jinye’s people took out a map he had painted and showed it to Rong Yi and others, “My lord, the place that man would be taking action might be Wujian Inn.”

Rong Yi asked, “Why is that?”

“When he arrived at Qingwu Town, he made a stop before the door of Wujian Inn. Outside the door of the inn was pasted a poster saying there would be an auction tomorrow noon. All the decent cultivators, ghost cultivators, evil cultivators, and even those beast cultivators from the Blood Beast Valley which was not far from Qingwu Town would all attend. Everyone would bring some treasures for sale or for exchange. And anyone who entered into Wujian Inn should forget about all the hatred and no fight was allowed at the auction, otherwise one would be redlisted. And anyone who got redlisted could never participate in any auction in all the six prefectures. Though no fight was allowed, one could suck those cultivators’ spiritual power before they entered into or left the inn. So it was hard to tell who would suck whose spiritual power.”

Rong Yi and Yin Jinye thought what he said made sense, “It’s still early. Let’s go make some preparations first.”

Rong Yi then set a serial formation and some little triggers around Wujian Inn. As long as he activated the formation, anyone who broke in would be locked in. But his own body got all kinds of strange but powerful items in the storage ring, so it wasn’t an easy thing to catch him.

As the auction day came, the street before Wujian Inn was extra bustling, nasty evil cultivators, gloomy ghost cultivators, and coquettish beast cultivators and righteous Buddha cultivators. Though everyone was an eyesore in each other’s eyes, they all abided by the regulations here. No fights, no quarrels!

They took out their own favored treasures for people to appreciate. If others were interested, they could exchange with their own or directly buy them. Some cultivators wanted to do some business here, so they just set a stall on both sides of the street and displayed some items for sale.

Rong Yi saw some precious ingredients in their world which were super common in this world and nearly cried his eyes out. He was so excited that he nearly forgot what he was doing here.

“Bone pine cones, Yangfu earth, engraving grits, Fengqiao branches, Yunhun dews…” He murmured the names with super joys and then asked the stall owner, “How much are those ingredients?”

The stall owner said, “One bone pine cone is fifty lower spiritual stones, here are a hundred. If you want them all, let’s say four thousand lower spiritual stones. Three bags of Yangfu earth, and you can only pay me five hundred lower spiritual stones…”

Rong Yi’s eyes were shining. Wow! Wow! Wow! What a bargain! In his modern world, only a bone pine cone would cost dozens of upper grade spiritual stones or more. And sometimes one couldn’t even buy one since there was none in the market.

Yin Jinye apparently had no idea why he was so excited and what was there to be excited about since these were all common ingredients they could buy anywhere. Why did he like those low level ingredients so much?

While for Xiu Zhuo, he only thought Rong Yi was a total dandy who had never come out before. So he said with a mocking tone, “In Nanbai Prefecture, a bone pine cone only costs ten lower spiritual stones.”

Rong Yi turned back at him excitedly, “Really?”

The ingredients in this world were too cheap!

He’d try to earn as much money as he could and buy all those cheap ingredients and then bring them back to the modern world.

The stall owner wore a bitter face, “Come on, man, Nanbai Prefecture is so far from Zhonghai Prefecture, you know. I brought those things all the way here. At least I should have some profit, right?”

Xiu Zhuo, “…”

Rong Yi then bought all the bone pine cones from the stall owner and then picked some rare ones he thought useful and then when he had time in the future, he could go to Nanbai Prefecture for a shopping binge.

After entering into the yard of Wujian Inn, he touched his storage ringelatedly and said, “Even if we couldn’t catch that person, this trip is already fruitful.”

Yin Jinye raised his brows, “Only some low level ingredients could make you so happy?”

Rong Yi sighed, “Stand in my shoes and think, OK?”
