Yi Tian walked on the street of Pushan Square with a depressed face. Along the way, he found that he didn't have enough spirit stones to do anything here.
Oh, there was one more thing that he could afford. The worst room price in the inn in the market was one spirit stone per day.
Yi Tian knew that cultivators didn't need to sleep. When they didn't have enough spirit energy, they just needed to find a place to meditate.
But after listening to the explanation of the waiter in the inn, he knew that the rooms in the inn were different from those outside. They were built on top of a spirit gathering array.
The spirit energy in each room was richer than outside. Even the worst room, the spirit energy in the room was more than twice as abundant as outside. No wonder it was charged such a price.
For Yi Tian now, the most important thing was how to earn spirit stones, although he still had a lot of things to do.
But even a good map of Dongjiang Country's Immortal Cultivation Market cost three spirit stones. Yi Tian was so angry that he cursed the shopkeeper who sold the map for being too black-hearted.
Thinking about it, Yi Tian had just entered the cultivation world and didn't have any skills. Risking his life to make money was not something that Yi Tian wanted to do. If he died, he would lose everything.
After walking a few streets, Yi Tian passed by a pawnshop called Hengyuan. He found that he could mortgage his belongings in exchange for spirit stones, just like the pawnshops in the mortal world.
Besides the three secret manuals and the remaining spirit stone, he didn't have anything else.
Moreover, he hadn't eaten for a long time and was very hungry. When he passed by a restaurant, Yi Tian looked at the menu on the signboard and was so scared that he didn't dare to go in.
Each dish cost at least three spirit stones. The most expensive dish, the Eight Treasures Spirit Treasure, cost fifty spirit stones. Yi Tian muttered in his heart, "It's better to just eat spirit stones. How convenient it is."
Thinking about it was just thinking. He didn't dare to do anything excessive. Not to mention that the patrol team in the shop were all at the fifth level of Qi Refining stage.
The owner of this restaurant was probably enough to make Yi Tian suffer. Besides, Yi Tian knew that to be able to open a restaurant, one must have skills and two must have a background.
Now, Yi Tian didn't dare to cause any trouble. He just glanced at them and left. He felt that he was embarrassing himself by just standing there.
Yi Tian was now standing in the wind of adversity. Looking at the signboard of Hengyuan Pawnshop, he gritted his teeth and entered.
In the end, he didn't sell the spirit arts and only sold off the original jars and jars.
Then, he changed the storage pouch that was originally ten feet in size into a small pouch that was four feet in size and stamped it with his own seal.
It wasn't that Yi Tian thought the storage bag was too big, it was just that the inside was a mess and there was a strange smell.
As a result, Yi Tian had to hold his breath every time he took something. This was really unbearable.
Seeing that the pawnshop shopkeeper didn't care at all, Yi Tian also admired him from the bottom of his heart. He really had professional ethics and was really meticulous in doing things.
Yi Tian also took out the unknown medicinal pills in the storage pouch and showed them to the shopkeeper. It turned out that they were Fasting Pills.
Cultivators who ate them didn't need to eat for a month. Now, those poor cultivators all used this.
Once they stepped into the cultivation world, who cared about how their stomachs felt? They would all seize the time to cultivate.
But Yi Tian thought about why those restaurants were opened. Wasn't this a contradiction? He just thought about it in his heart. When he had time, he would understand it.
Originally, the Fasting Pills in the storage pouch had a strange smell. Maybe those jars and jars weren't sealed properly, so the smell of the medicinal pills mixed together.
Yi Tian wasn't going to eat these medicinal pills. In the end, he exchanged them for a map of Pushan Square with a radius of three hundred miles. Anyway, it was better than nothing.
From the shopkeeper of Hengyuan Pawnshop, he learned that there was a medicine shop called Deren Hall on the east street of Pushan Square where he could buy Fasting Pills.
And the price was fair. After coming out of the pawnshop, Yi Tian first chose to buy Fasting Pills to solve the problem of his stomach.
After passing through a few streets, Yi Tian came to the outside of Deren Hall. He looked inside and saw a sign on the door that said "Pill Refining".
The alchemist in the hall thought that there was a big business coming, so he greeted Yi Tian with enthusiasm. But when he heard that he was here to buy Fasting Pills, he asked a shop assistant to greet him and went to rest in the hall.
Yi Tian then knew that Fasting Pills were the most common medicine here. Generally, alchemy apprentices would use them as practice.
Those who came to buy Fasting Pills were all people below the fourth level of Qi Refining. Generally, they wouldn't have many spirit stones on them.
This alchemist also looked at people.
Not daring to offend the people of Deren Hall, Yi Tian spent a spirit stone to buy a bottle of Fasting Pills. There were about twenty pills.
After asking the alchemist about the effect of Fasting Pills, he couldn't wait to open the bottle and eat three pills in one breath. The shop assistant was so scared that he hurriedly shouted.
Before Yi Tian was puzzled, he felt that his stomach was bloated and he was full in an instant.
The alchemist was also anxious. He just told the young man in front of him about the effect, and he ate three pills.
One pill could prevent him from eating for a month. Now, it was equivalent to three months' worth of food in Yi Tian's stomach. It would be strange if he didn't feel uncomfortable.
The two people were so scared that they turned pale. Yi Tian also blushed in shame when he heard it. He looked at the alchemist, hoping that there could be a solution. He couldn't bear it.
The alchemist hurriedly asked the shop assistant to get the Pill Dissolving Water. He also explained to Yi Tian that the Pill Dissolving Water could dissolve the Fasting Pills.
But there might be some side effects after taking it. Generally, it was used by those who were greedy for good food before eating a big meal.
Yi Tian didn't have so much time to listen to the alchemist's nonsense. After the Pill Dissolving Water came, Yi Tian didn't care so much and drank it directly. He saw the alchemist and the shop assistant looking at him in surprise.
In the end, he didn't feel bloated, but he felt a burst of abdominal pain. He hurriedly asked the place to go to the toilet and rushed in.
Pu Siyuan, the young master of Deren Hall, had nothing to do today, so he just came to his shop to inspect.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a mess in the hall. He quickly grabbed the shop assistant and asked the situation.
After listening, he smiled elegantly. This was a new thing. He also wanted to see the person who almost burst his stomach after eating the Fasting Pills.
After all, it was not lively every day. When he saw Yi Tian come out, he snickered.
The person involved, Yi Tian, walked out of the inner hall while holding his stomach and frowned at the alchemist.
He thought that the people of Deren Hall always spoke half a sentence. This time, he was embarrassed. But he didn't dare to say anything, so as not to inexplicably offend him.
The young master, Pu Siyuan, had to politely send Yi Tian out of Deren Hall. In case something happened to a customer in Deren Hall, it would damage the reputation of the shop.
As the young master, he couldn't get away with it. He had to send this plague away as soon as possible.
As soon as Yi Tian walked out of Deren Hall, he heard a thin monkey-like person shouting next to him, "Brother Duan, he is the one who robbed me."
Looking sideways, it was Monkey Xue Zhong who robbed him halfway on the way to Pushan Square. He sneered in his heart.
Turning around and walking toward Monkey, he saw a burly man behind Monkey. His body was full of muscles, his face was dark, and there was a hammer on his waist. He didn't look easy to provoke.
The burly man with a dark face slowly walked forward, cupped his fist and said, "Little brother, please give me an explanation."
Yi Tian saw that the burly man with a dark face was still polite, and he was about to go forward and talk.
Monkey Xue Zhong ran forward and shouted at Yi Tian, "Brat, give me back my things, or I will let you know how powerful Brother Duan is."
This person was Xue Zhong's good friend, Duan Yugang. He opened a refining shop and passed down some skills in his family. He could make some elementary magic weapons. Because of the fair price, he was a little famous in the market.
It was said that Duan Yugang had received Xue Zhong's favor when he was a child, and he knew how to repay kindness, so every time Xue Zhong had something, he would help to settle it.
This time, after Xue Zhong failed to rob and was robbed, he asked Duan Yugang for help.
Duan Yugang listened to Monkey Xue Zhong's words, frowned slightly, and then stared at Yi Tian as if he wanted to ask for an explanation.
Duan Yugang didn't dare to make a move directly on the street. Yi Tian was also a person who was not afraid of trouble. What's more, when he entered Pushan Square, the guard said that there were patrols on every street.
If he wanted to cause trouble in the market, he would be chased out by the patrols. If he killed someone, the patrols would not be polite.
At this time, he had to pretend. Although it was Yi Tian who did it, he couldn't show weakness like this. He smiled and said, "Without any evidence, what right do you have to say that I robbed you?"
Unexpectedly, the monkey smiled and raised the storage bag and pawn ticket in his hand and said loudly, "This brat just finished pawning his things. The Hengyuan Pawnshop's shopkeeper said that he came to the medicine shop to buy Fasting Pills. If you don't believe me, you can ask. Otherwise, how could I have stopped him?" After he finished speaking, he looked at Yi Tian proudly.
He already knew that this robbery was definitely in cahoots with the people who sold the stolen goods. Yi Tian's White Horse Gang often did this kind of thing, and it was usually these pawnshops that were responsible for selling the stolen goods.
The Hengyuan Pawnshop's shopkeeper might have recognized Xue Zhong's storage bag early on and directly informed Xue Zhong after he left.
Yi Tian regretted, "If it wasn't for this emergency situation, I wouldn't have thought that I would have been careless. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to a refining or alchemy shop to exchange for Spirit Stones."
However, the Hengyuan Pawnshop's shopkeeper didn't dare to show up, so he probably had a guilty conscience. Yi Tian immediately reacted and laughed, "Who doesn't know that you, Xue Zhong, are a scoundrel? What you did outside the market was a robbery, and then you sold the stolen goods at the pawnshop. How can someone like you be trusted?
This was the negotiation method that Qian Kui had taught him in the past. Even if you lose, you can't lose. First use your aura to trick the other party, and if it was effective, then pursue and attack fiercely.
Hearing Yi Tian's words, the people around also began to point at him.
Everyone knew Xue Zhong's character. This time, when they saw him suffer, they were all gloating. No one came out to speak up for him.
Yi Tian thought about it. Duan Yugang didn't look like an unreasonable person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried peaceful means before resorting to force. Yi Tian wanted to see the effect of tricking him.
Seeing that the people around him were whispering, Yi Tian asked Monkey, "Who knows if the person you found is an accomplice? Maybe one of you is helping to sell the stolen goods."
Who would have thought that this sentence would hit Duan Yugang's sore spot? He thought about how he had received Xue Zhong's favor before and also helped to sell the stolen goods.
Later on, he realized that something was wrong and stopped it in time. As a result, Xue Zhong had no choice but to cooperate with the Hengyuan Pawnshop's shopkeeper.
Duan Yugang's face was flushed red, and his veins were bulging. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Don't frame a good person!" After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was about to come forward and argue.
Yi Tian didn't want to force the other party too much. Even a rabbit would bite when cornered, not to mention that this black-faced man looked even more powerful than him. If he fought head-on, he would be the one at a disadvantage.
The most unfortunate thing was that his stomach was still feeling a little uncomfortable. If this continued, it wouldn't be good for him.
Just as he was thinking hard about countermeasures, Pu Siyuan, who was standing behind everyone, said, "Justice is in the hearts of the people. Everyone, there's no need to be entangled. My medicine hall is still open for business today. Everyone, please disperse. I'm sure everyone knows the rules of Pushan Square." After saying that, he turned around and went back in.
The onlookers dispersed. They wanted to watch the show, but they didn't expect the young master to speak up.
Everyone didn't give face to the monk, but they still gave face to the Buddha. They had all forgotten whose territory this was.
Xue Zhong was also rebuffed. He angrily pulled Duan Yugang away. Yi Tian glanced at him. He saw the anger in Duan Yugang's eyes with disdain, but he wasn't afraid.
If they walked on different sides of the road, who would be afraid the next time they met? They walked in the opposite direction.
