Chapter 165: Quarrel Over Goods

  After walking through the long corridor, a group of Huo Lian tribe soldiers blocked the way at a mountain pass. They roughly checked the invitation and each took ten pieces of Ling Stone before letting them pass. Hu Xiao Yue was heartbroken and had Guo Fei collect the stones, so as not to waste them.

  Guo Fei smiled and didn't say a word, in front of so many people he put away his followers, it's easy to reveal one's true intentions.

  Bai Yu was very generous and paid off all the spirit stones of Guo Fei and others. From the investigation, this invitation is just a formality, and the real meaning should be to inform everyone that collecting spirit stones from passersby is the most important thing.

  As they walked along the mountain path, Guo Fei and his companions suddenly saw a bright red cave in front of them. The cave was made up of layered, terraced rocks that rose step by step on the mountainside, extending far into the distance. In front of the caves, crowds of people flowed continuously along the winding paths, like streets. Each cave was a marketplace, and inside each one were shops or stalls selling goods.

  From the notice board on the side, any cultivator can rent a cave as a place to set up a stall and sell their own items to obtain spirit stones. In another area, there are also caves for people to live in, with complete internal facilities. Guo Fei rented a cave, and Bai Yu rented a cave next door, as a place for his followers to settle down.

  After settling down, Guo Fei took Hu Xiaoyue, Liang Tie, and Tian Hunzi to stroll around the market, while the rest of the personnel stayed in the cave to rest. Bai Yu also left with a few followers, and Hou Da also left alone to buy his own necessities. Guo Fei knew that these demon cultivators all had their own secrets and it was inconvenient for them to travel together.

  The area of the transaction is very large, with mountains stretching for tens of kilometers. In the last direction, there is a huge high mountain, and at the waist of the mountain, there is a huge cave, which is the Huoyun Cave, the lair of the Huoxie tribe. Of course, this place is strictly forbidden to approach.

  Guo Fei and others strolled through the market, their primary goal was to purchase yin attribute materials, preparing to forge a magic weapon for Tian Hunzi. Secondly, they were buying elixirs to enhance the cultivation of Feiyu Battle Team members. As for purchasing martial arts techniques, Guo Fei didn't dare think about it - human-grade techniques were no longer necessary, and earth-grade or higher ultimate skills were hard to come by.

  "Master! Dan medicine." Hu Xiaoyue saw a cave, inside was a specialty store selling dan medicine. Guo Fei and others gathered around.

  This is a middle-aged man, wearing a bright red long gown, with two attendants, wearing short jackets, on the ground a wooden frame on which are placed several jade bottles, inside which are placed grains of dan medicine.

  Guo Fei roughly looked through them and found that their elixirs were at most fifth-grade, indicating that this alchemist's level was still quite good. Fifth-grade elixirs were already extremely rare. What surprised Guo Fei the most was that there were two pills of Bu Yuan Dan here, with a quality that also reached fifth-grade, which was extremely difficult to come by. However, the price was also shockingly expensive, with one pill costing 50,000 spirit stones.

  "Can't it be cheaper? This is too expensive!" Hu Xiaoyue said in a soft voice.

  "I won't haggle over the price. If it weren't for buying materials to make up for the spiritual stone, I wouldn't be willing to sell at this price." The man with slightly closed eyes opened them and said in a deep voice.

  "Buy it!" Guo Fei said in a deep voice. Hu Xiaoyue reluctantly removed the Ling Stone from the Qiankun Ring, and the ground was filled with a brilliant light as the stone was instantly absorbed into the ring.

  "Looking at how generous you are, I'll give you a hundred pills of Small Pei Yuan Dan! Each pill is worth fifty spirit stones." The person said with a slight smile.

  "Scoundrel!" Guo Fei cursed under his breath, still giving away the Ling Stone, how dare he say that.

  "Forty spirit stones is enough, we don't want any more." Guo Fei said in a deep voice.

  "Alright! I've lost a lot of money." As soon as this person saw Guo Fei's expression, he knew that if he raised the price again, Guo Fei would leave. He immediately nodded repeatedly. The transaction was completed, and Guo Fei led the crowd to leave first.

  "Huh!" Guo Fei was walking when he suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon, the crimson mist in his Martial Token space's Punishment Hall was churning, this was a rare occurrence, it seemed as if something was forcing it to churn. Guo Fei's divine sense stirred, he looked around, his gaze sweeping back and forth, until he finally found the thing that was causing the mist to churn.

  An arrow, a blood-red arrow, looked as if it were made of congealed blood, emitting an eerie aura. Guo Fei walked over, took it in his hand and examined it carefully, asking softly "What is this arrow?"

  "I don't know, it seems to be an extremely precious material, forged from blood steel. I picked it up in a mountain cave." The monk selling the item was a half-transformed demon monk, with thick scales covering his arm, but Guo Fei couldn't tell what kind of beast he had transformed from, and judging from his aura fluctuations, his cultivation shouldn't be too high.

  "I'll take this item, how many spirit stones?" A voice suddenly came from beside Guo Fei as he was deep in thought.

  "Qingmu!" Guo Fei looked up and saw that it was indeed the Qingmu he had met before. His face suddenly darkened.

  "One hundred spirit stones!" The demon cultivator selling the item looked at them with narrowed eyes, then quoted a price.

  "Are your dog eyes blind? Haven't you seen that our young master has already set his sights on this item?" Tianhunzi shouted loudly.

  "The first one to name a price gets it. Don't you all know this principle?" Qingmu said with a low voice, glancing at Tianhunzi.

  "Little one, are you itching for a fight?" Tianhunzi's face turned gloomy as he spoke in a low voice.

  "Relying on your entourage to be arrogant, what's the big deal?" Qingmu's eyes turned cold as he looked at Guo Fei.

  "Since the two of you have a dispute, you can settle it in a duel arena." The demon cultivator who was selling the item smiled and said, his meaning clear: as long as he got paid, he didn't care who bought it.

  "Here!" Hu Xiaoyue took out a hundred pieces of spiritual stone and placed them in front of him. Guo Fei instantly picked up the arrow.

  "Kid, let's settle this at the martial arts arena. I'll fight you one-on-one. If you lose, hand over that thing." Qingmu said in a low voice, pointing at Guo Fei's nose.

  "Young master, I'm here." Tianhunzi said with a solemn expression.

  "No need, since he's looking for death, I'll fulfill his wish." Guo Fei said in a low voice.

  "Kid, you're no match for me. With your skills, you're dead meat." Qingmu's face turned gloomy as he walked away from the martial arts arena.

  The arena is a specially designated place in the city to resolve disputes. In a huge cave, there are special personnel managing it, and as long as you register, you can enter. The cave is very large, with many spectator seats around it, and the walls are inlaid with glowing crystals. In the middle, there is a platform that is no different from the arenas of human tribes.

  Guo Fei and Qingmu registered, the staff quickly announced this information, and people came to watch the battle like a tide, but each person had to pay two spirit stones to enter.

  "Unexpectedly, the Scorpion Clan has become so clever, actually making money in this way. This arena can hold at least a million people, that's twenty million spirit stones!" Hu Xiaoyue exclaimed, looking around at the crowd.

  "Xiao Yue, where is the betting counter? Let's go buy some winning tickets and make a fortune." Guo Fei saw the scorpion tribe people suddenly set up betting counters and smiled at Hu Xiao Yue.

  "Master, Qingmu is not weak, you must be careful!" Hu Xiaoyue said with a hint of worry.

  "Don't worry, as long as he doesn't enter the realm of transformation, I have confidence in dealing with him." Guo Fei said with a faint smile.
