Jian Chen did not seem to hear what the two of them were saying. He gripped the rough wooden box with the violet peach tightly as his face became extremely stern.
Even his hand, which was holding the wooden box, was trembling slightly at this moment.
He could confirm with a single glance that the violet peach in the wooden box was the Violet Cloud Peach he had left for his family in the lower world when he left the Tian Yuan Continent for the Saints' World.
The violet peach in the wooden box was clearly a first grade Violet Cloud Peach.
Even the crude wooden box that stored the Violet Cloud Peaches had been personally crafted by him in the past.
"Senior, please return it to me," the woman said again. She was filled with nervousness. The Violet Cloud Peach was in Jianchen's hands, but she did not dare to take it from him.
Jianchen finally returned to his senses. He suppressed his excitement and uneasiness as he glared at the woman. He growled, "Where did you get this?"
"W- why should I tell you? And I- this is mine. Please return it to me," the woman immediately became uneasy under Jianchen's glare.
"Sir, this is the imperial capital of the Thousand Leaf Empire, and our Cui Sheng Spiritual Herbs Store belongs to the Cui family, one of the three great organisations of the Thousand Leaf Empire. Don't tell me you want to use force in the Cui family's Cui Sheng Spiritual Medicine Store? "The shopkeeper's voice gradually turned cold as he studied Jian Chen with narrowed eyes. Even though he could not tell Jianchen's cultivation and knew that Jianchen was a powerful expert, he remained fearless.
The Cui family was one of the three great clans of the Thousand Leaf Empire. They were an existence that could stand on equal footing with the imperial family. With the Cui family behind them, there really was no one who dared to mess around in the Cui Sheng Spiritual Medicine Store.
Soon after, the shopkeeper looked at the ugly woman and a trace of imperceptible disgust flashed in the depths of his eyes. He said in a righteous tone, "Miss, go and take out what belongs to you. The rules of the imperial capital are clear. In the imperial capital, there is only fair trade. There is no bullying or stealing. Otherwise, you'll be challenging the dignity of the Thousand Leaf Empire. You're looking down on the Thousand Leaf Empire. "The shopkeeper clearly said the last part for Jianchen to hear.
Jianchen ignored the shopkeeper's words. His gaze towards the ugly woman became sharper and sharper as a powerful pressure radiated from him. He said coldly, "Did you steal this? Tell me, where did you steal it from? "
The ugly woman was only a God. Under Jianchen's pressure, she immediately paled. Her eyes were filled with fear. She said with a trembling voice, "N- no, T- a younger sister of mine gave it to me. My younger sister didn't steal it. S- s- she said she brought it up from a lower world."
Jianchen's face immediately eased up when he heard that. Afterwards, his gaze towards the ugly woman became slightly friendlier. He glanced at the shopkeeper who was glaring at him angrily and frowned slightly. He said to the woman, "If what you said is true, I probably have quite a deep relationship with the younger sister you speak of. It's inconvenient to talk here. Come with me. Let's go somewhere else. " Jianchen returned the wooden box with the Violet Cloud Peach to the ugly woman before turning around and making his way out.
The Thousand Leaf Empire was only an ancient empire. He was not afraid that someone would steal the Violet Cloud Peach from the ugly woman right under his nose in a place like this.
"Since it's her younger sister? There are only a few women who can reach the Origin realm on the Tian Yuan Continent. I wonder who has come to the Saints' World? " Jianchen thought. He was rather eager to learn the identity of his old friend from the ugly woman.
"Hold on, miss. Here are a hundred high grade divine crystals. Take care of them. The heavenly resource in your hand belongs to our Cui Sheng Spiritual Herb Store from now on." The shopkeeper suddenly appeared beside the ugly woman and directly shoved a small pouch with a hundred high grade divine crystals into her hands. He then quickly extended his hand towards the wooden box.
He had come into contact with various medicines for many years, so he had developed a pair of discerning eyes long ago. Even though he did not recognise the Violet Cloud Peach, the wondrous presence that radiated from it allowed him to immediately determine that the heavenly resource was not as ordinary as it seemed on the surface.
However, as soon as the shopkeeper extended his hand, another hand suddenly grabbed his wrist. Jianchen, who had already left the store, had suddenly appeared again and stopped the shopkeeper.
"You want to buy a heavenly resource like this for a mere hundred high grade divine crystals? You sure have your wishful thinking. I'm not selling this heavenly resource," Jian Chen sneered. Jian Chen sneered. The fact that the Violet Cloud Peaches contained Xuanhuang Qi was no small matter. He could not reveal this in the Saints' World.
"You-" The shopkeeper was furious. Just when he was about to complain, he could only swallow his words under Jianchen's sharp gaze. He dared not say anything.
This was because the gaze made him shiver. He felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
"Let's go," Jianchen did not stay for long. He called out to the woman and left the store.
The ugly woman hesitated slightly before leaving with Jianchen in the end.
Very soon, Jianchen brought the ugly woman to a remote place in the city. He looked at the woman deeply and asked, "What's the name of the person who gave you this?"
The ugly woman looked at Jianchen and hesitated. She was uncertain about his relationship with her sister. If they were enemies, she would end up harming her sister.
However, when she thought about her sister's current situation, she immediately made up her mind. She said, "My sister is called Qing Yixuan. Do you really know her?"
"Qing Yixuan! It's actually her! " Jianchen was very surprised. He had never thought that the first familiar person he would come across in the Saints' World would actually be Qing Yixuan.
"I never thought that Qing Yixuan would actually come to the Saints' World as well. But it makes sense now that I think about it. Qing Yixuan's talent is quite good. She was able to reach the level of Holy Emperor even in the horrible environment of the Tian Yuan Continent. Now that the origin energy of the Tian Yuan Continent has gradually recovered and it's connected to the World of Forsaken Saints, the cultivation environment has improved drastically. With Qing Yixuan's talent, reaching the Origin realm won't be difficult at all, "Jianchen smiled faintly. He was filled with joy.
To be able to reunite with an old friend in a foreign land was truly a joyous matter.
The ugly woman finally confirmed that not only did the person before her know her sister from Jianchen's expression, but he was also not an enemy. She let out a sigh of relief.
"Where is Qing Yixuan right now?" Jianchen asked.
"My sister's situation is not good. She's been taken away by the people of the Gus clan. She's in danger at any time. C- can you save my sister?" The ugly woman stared at Jianchen closely as hope filled her face. But soon afterwards, she sighed in disappointment. She became gloomy.
The Gus clan was one of the three peak organisations of the Thousand Leaf Empire. They possessed a Primordial realm expert and stood on equal footing with the imperial family. They were extremely powerful. Qing Yixuan was a woman who had only come up from a lower world recently. Even if she had some friends in the Saints' World, how powerful could her friends be with her cultivation?
"What did you say? Qing Yixuan's been taken away? "Jianchen's smile vanished, and his face immediately sank.
