Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The little fox leaped and hopped away quickly. Her nine tails seemed to be rubbing against the clouds. She was feeling quite merry.

Soon, she blended in with the faraway mountains.

Her eyes flickered. She seemed to be talking to herself, “Here comes the chives, here comes the chives!”

She was about to leap into another hill when three figures suddenly swooped in and surrounded the little fox.

“Cultivator, please, wait!”

The three figures were three Real Immortals. They were cool and powerful. They had friendly smiles on their faces.

One of them said, “We’re very interested in the chives you brought us, cultivator. As long as you tell us the source, we’ll ensure your safety and we’ll give you lots of benefits!”

The little fox stood on her hind legs. She looked up at three cultivators riding on clouds. Her black eyes sparkled.

“Stop joking, cultivators. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

Along with a soft chuckle, Gu Yuan, Gu Xirou, Pei An, Ding Xiaozhu, and the others quickly surrounded the three cultivators. The six powerful cultivators ambushed them.

Those three cultivators were calm. They did not appear to be frantic. They looked up at the cultivators that had appeared out of nowhere.

“Haha, I guessed it. Someone’s indeed against us!”

They heard a burst of loud laughter. The elder from the black market store rode in on some clouds along with two Golden Immortals behind him. He felt like an emperor walking in, dismissively looking at everyone with a cold smirk.

He carefully examined Gu Xirou and Gu Yuan and he instantly realized something. He yelled, “It’s you guys! I knew it, I knew it! You guys are scheming on me, Ma Yunming. This time, I’ll capture you all! Haha…”

Gu Xirou and the others looked at the elder calmly, too. They were cool. Some were even smirking.

‘Huh?’

Ma Yunming felt his heart thumping. He had a bad feeling.

“Capture us all? Have you asked for permission from the sword in my hand?!”

Xiao Chengfeng stepped on a sword. His demeanor was cool, his robes were flowing behind him, and his gaze was sharp. He stared at the elder.

Then, Ao Cheng, Ziye, the Fire Phoenix, and Daji revealed themselves.

The aura in the air changed. The place was filled with the Power of Law. Too many powerful cultivators had appeared at the same time. It was wicked.

Ma Yunming froze in place. He jolted and went blank. He could not believe what was happening.

‘Taiyi… Golden Immortals.

‘So, so many Taiyi Golden Immortals! I’ve never seen so many Taiyi Golden Immortals in my life!

‘Did I just trespass a nest of Taiyi Golden Immortals?

‘Is this necessary? I’m just an owner of a small black market store. Do they have to bully me to this extent?’

He was dumbfounded. He looked up and felt his skin crawl. ‘Scary, it’s too scary! Not even nightmares can compare to this.’

After a while of feeling dizzy, he plopped to the ground, headfirst.

Cold sweat formed on his forehead. He forced a friendly smile and said while trembling, “This is a misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding. I… I… I’m just a store owner, everyone. This isn’t necessary, it’s really not necessary!”

The little fox sneered and scolded, “It’s a black market store!”

“I was wrong, I was wrong. Please, don’t kill me, bigshots.”

The elder knelt on the ground and bowed down. He begged on all fours, “My business is legit. The trades are fair. I was just curious about the odd items. I shouldn’t have thought twice about it. Bigshots, please, spare me.”

Ao Cheng asked, “What else do you have on you? It better be a Spiritual Item from the eldritch eras.”

“Nothing, I don’t have anything else.”

The shop owner cried, “Spiritual Items from the eldritch eras are already rare. It all depends on luck, too. My only three items were traded away to you guys. My most valuable possession as of now is an Intermediate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. Feel free to take it.”

He took out a gold shield as he spoke. It was most probably a defense Spiritual Treasure.

Xiao Chengfeng was pleasantly surprised. “Woohoo, an Intermediate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. How luxurious of you.”

The corners of Ma Yunming’s mouth twitched. He hurriedly said, “I’ve been at the Above Immortal Realm for a long time. Treasures are rare but I did get some nice items over the years.”

Daji asked, “Where did you get the items from the eldritch eras?”

Ma Yunming replied, “I have someone who works for me that can seek treasure, often at Immortal Relics. That’s how I got some treasures.”

He hurriedly added, “If you want Spiritual Treasures from the eldritch eras, we’ll do our best to help you search for it.”

Daji nodded, “I don’t see why not.”

“Actually…”

Ma Yunming saw hope for survival. He was immediately thrilled. He hurriedly continued, “Everyone, if you have more chives like that, I can help you out secretly. I can trade for the Spiritual Items with the chives. Most Immortals would be willing to trade because the chives…are useful to Immortals!”

Gu Xirou was surprised. “Oh? They’d be willing to trade?”

“Yes, a lot of Spiritual Treasure’s ancient. Most of them got it by luck but have no idea how to use them. They’re also unaware of its value.” Ma Yunming groaned for a moment and said indirectly, “The chives…are attractive!”

Immortals lived for too long. Hence, they were also bored. Otherwise, there would not be so many Immortals who would dress themselves up to look like cool elders.

They had lost their passion. The chives could help them regain their passion for cultivation!

The chives would be popular once it was out!

Ziye said, “If that’s the case, it’s a great plan.”

She was hoping to gather a lot of Spiritual Items and Spiritual Treasures from the eldritch eras. The eldritch eras were far away but the items were related to the Heavenly Palace.

Daji said coldly, “We don’t want your Heavenly Spiritual Treasures. We hope you won’t let us down. If you offer us a good trade, we’ll reward you.”

Ma Yunming was exhilarated. He hurriedly thanked them, “Thank you, superior Immortals! Thank you for having mercy on me, wise Immortals! I’ll do my best in your honor. I won’t disappoint you all.”

Gu Xirou looked at Pei An and said, “Cultivator Pei, you have a lot of chives. Give some up.”

“This…” Pei An looked troubled and in pain. Then, he turned to look at Ding Xiaozhu. He quietly said, “Bamboo, look… This…”

Ding Xiaozhu sighed softly. Hesitantly, she picked out two bundles of chives. She thought about it and tossed a bundle at Ma Yunming. “We don’t have many chives left. Take this.”

Xiao Chengfeng was confused. “Huh? Cultivator Pei, why did you let cultivator Ding keep your chives?”

Pei An coughed softly. He replied, “You’ve been single for all eternity. You wouldn’t get it.”

…

Ma Yunming excitedly rushed back to the store with the chives. He opened the door and was back in business.

Soon, a cool white-robed elder with a horsetail whisk in hand slowly walked in.

The elder looked around carefully at first. Then, he hesitated before walking into the shop nervously.

Ma Yunming followed his usual routine. He slowly walked out with chives.

“Cultivator, do you want some chives?

“Cultivation is fleeting. Joy could be right in front of you. Why not seize it? These chives can bring you absolute joy.”

Soon, the elder walked out of the store as a satisfied customer. He quickly left.

A while later, a beautiful lady in a palace costume walked in. She had her hair up and was incredibly well-dressed. Her ribbons flowed in the wind. She looked cool and gorgeous.

He followed his usual routine again.

Ma Yunming slowly appeared. He smiled and asked, “I wonder if you have a companion, Goddess?”

The beautiful lady in the palace costume frowned. She asked in an unfriendly tone, “Why’s that any of your business? Are you trying to hit on me or something?”

Ma Yunming took out the chives. “I wanted to ask your companion if he wanted some chives?”

Soon, the beautiful lady merrily walked out of the store. She looked excited as she left in a hurry.
