The Wang Family's pill master didn't expect his young master to stoop to the same level as a rogue cultivator in the mortal market. It was too shameful, but he couldn't persuade the young master to stop. He wanted to leave, but there was still a distinguished guest of the Wang Family nearby.
The Wang Family's pill master felt inferior to this esteemed guest. He had just learned how to refine late Blood Condensation pills, but this esteemed guest was only in his thirties. Despite being a late Blood Condensation cultivator, he could already refine half-step Core Forging pills. After interacting with this esteemed guest for the past few days, the Wang Family's pill master felt that his knowledge and experience were far inferior to this esteemed guest.
The Wang Family's pill master saw the distinguished guest watching his Eldest Young Master quarrel with a group of rogue cultivators with a smile on his face. He had no choice but to accompany the distinguished guest awkwardly. From time to time, he would say a few words to mediate, but it often had the opposite effect.
At this time, someone in the market shouted, "Senior Lu is here! Master Immortal Lu is here!"
The rogue cultivators who were quarreling with Eldest Young Master Wang dispersed one after another. They took their harvests from their stalls and ran towards the young man who brought a child into the market.
The one in front was the person who the honored guest had previously wanted to purchase the spirit grass but was unable to obtain it. Later on, he had helped his young master quarrel with him.
The man exchanged a few words with the newcomer before handing over all of the spirit herbs that the esteemed guest had taken a fancy to to the young cultivator. Then, he took something that the young cultivator had given him and hurriedly left in a somewhat excited manner.
Grand Wang Young Master was instantly enraged. He was about to step forward and argue with the young man, but he was suddenly stopped by someone. When Grand Wang Young Master turned his head to look, it was the distinguished guest who stopped him. Grand Wang Young Master's exasperated expression immediately changed. He forced a smile and said, "Brother Liang, why are you doing this?"
The silver-robed cultivator shook his head and didn't say anything. He walked towards the young man.
Lu Ping was looking at the spirit herbs in the hands of an old mortal cultivator. The silver-robed cultivator suddenly walked towards him and said, "It seems like this Fellow Daoist is also a pill master. However, the spirit herbs in this old man's hands are what I urgently need to concoct a batch of pills. I wonder if Fellow Daoist is willing to part with them?"
Lu Ping glanced at the silver-robed cultivator and calmly asked, "Mimosa is quite useful for breaking through bottlenecks. Fellow Daoist wants to concoct a pill that can help break through to the Core Forging stage?"
The silver-robed cultivator was startled. He looked at Lu Ping with a trace of respect and said, "Fellow daoist, your knowledge is indeed extraordinary. May I know your name? Which sect are you from? I am Liang Shilan from the Crystal Palace. Nice to meet you."
Lu Ping sneered inwardly. He was going to use his status to intimidate others. So he said, "My surname is Lu, and I'm ranked ninth. I'm just a free cultivator, not worth mentioning."
As soon as Lu Ping finished speaking, the silver-robed cultivator's gaze clearly lightened. The middle-aged cultivator next to him also became more relaxed. The young man who was the loudest was walking over. When he heard Lu Ping's words, he sneered and said, "You sure have a lot of power in this market. I thought this market belonged to you."
Lu Ping saw that this person was arrogant and spoke without any scruples. He guessed that this person was a playboy without much experience in dealing with people. He was probably a disciple of one of the three big clans. Lu Ping ignored him and said to the silver-robed cultivator, "This Mimosa happens to be of use to me. I'm sorry."
The silver-robed cultivator didn't think that after he said the name "Crystal Palace", this person still wouldn't let go. This was clearly not something a loose cultivator would do. This person was not simple!
Lu Ping didn't think that because he rejected the silver-robed cultivator just because this Mimosa was one of the main ingredients of the "Seven Step Marked Pill" that he had just obtained a few days ago, the silver-robed cultivator unintentionally looked up to him.
Because Master Wang was a step slower, he had been standing behind the silver-robed cultivator. His previous sarcastic words were ignored by Lu Ping and he was already very dissatisfied with Lu Ping. As a disciple of a big clan, he was born to be flattered by others. Everything he did was self-centered and he was used to being in the limelight. Now, not only was the guest that he couldn't afford to offend ignoring his words, even this loose cultivator in front of him treated him as if he didn't exist. In addition to the dispute with the group of loose cultivators earlier, he instantly vented his anger on Lu Ping.
"Kid, don't think that you can pretend to be a pill refiner just because you know a few spiritual herbs. Do you think it's that easy to pretend to be a pill refiner? Besides, you're just a loose cultivator. Even if you became a pill refiner by luck, how can you compare to Brother Liang? Brother Liang is a pill refiner from the Crystal Palace. He's a Blood Condensation Realm alchemist who can refine half-step Core Forging Realm pills. This Mimosa will only be a waste in your hands. Since you're a loose cultivator with shallow knowledge, how many spirit stones did you use to exchange for this spiritual herb? My Wang Clan will add another thousand spirit stones to give you face. "
Lu Ping was puzzled. No matter how domineering a cultivator was, he was still a Late Blood Condensation Realm cultivator. How could a Late Blood Condensation Realm cultivator do such a thing in public? Wouldn't he be making enemies out of his own clan? Lu Ping didn't understand what was going on.
It had to be said that the Wang Clan was not the kind of loose cultivator clan that did a one-off business. Rather, it was a cultivator clan that had taken root here. They were particular about prosperity and harmony. In the world of cultivation, there were both open spears and covert attacks. From a young age, the members of the clan had been taught what they could and could not do. This was so that they would not provoke those they should not provoke and bring disaster to the clan.
Lu Ping was still wondering why this young master was targeting him. On the other side, the Wang Clan's pill refiner had already tugged on Grand Wang Clan's clothes, hinting that he might offend someone with his words.
Just when Grand Wang Clan's young master realized what was going on, he heard a woman's voice coming from afar. She sneered, "Grand Wang Clan's young master is really generous. I thought you were going to say 'how many spirit stones do you want for this herb? My Wang Clan will double the price', but you only added a thousand spirit stones.
Grand Wang Clan's young master's face darkened. "Zhang Shengkun, since you're here, show yourself. Don't sneak around and embarrass the four young masters of the three family cities."
A gurgling sound could be heard. A woman dressed like a man and a cultivator dressed like a scholar walked over together. The people along the way made way for them. Clearly, these two were not ordinary people. They were probably disciples of the Zhang Clan.
Zhang Shengkun continued, "This title of 'Four Young Masters' is just a title given by the cultivators in the three family cities. Big brother and I have never thought that we are worthy of such a title. I believe Sister Xiu Zhu from the Li Clan feels the same way. I'm afraid only you, Grand Wang Clan's young master, can't forget this title."
"This one doesn't dare to be called 'Four Young Masters', but this one also doesn't dare to have a sister like Zhang Shengkun." At some unknown time, the Li Clan's young miss, Xiu Zhu, also arrived at the mortal market. She was dressed in a professional attire and had a valiant aura around her.
Lu Ping took advantage of the fact that all of the cultivators in the mortal market were attracted by the four young cultivators of the three family cities and inadvertently retreated to the side.
