Chapter 28: Words Must Not Be Spoken Rashly

  Every recommendation ticket is crucial, and every vote may make the book move forward on the new book list. Every vote is the driving force behind Yun He's writing.

  I don't dare hope that fellow Taoists will vote for me with every day's recommendation ticket, I just hope that in my spare time from reading books, I can get a casual vote, thank you.

  A first-layer Qi Refining stage Water Spirit Sect disciple, actually killed a fourth-layer Qi Refining stage fellow disciple in an instant, and even used Earth-type techniques.

  If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't dare believe it even if you killed them.

  The deceased monk was one of the three. And it was just Ishikawa who picked him out at random. Looking at Ishikawa's carefree appearance, it was as if he might have been the one who died just now!

  The two were suddenly frightened and wanted to escape. However, the earthen walls on all sides were like a enclosure, they only had four layers of Qi training, unable to fly away with their swords.

  Fear, fright, and more, surged into the hearts of both in an instant.

  "Two junior brothers, hurry up and kill Ishikawa, come quickly to help me, I can't hold out against these four puppets." The cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining outside the earthen wall had no idea what was happening inside.

  "Master Shi, spare our lives! We didn't dare to come here on our own... it was Master Shen who told us to..." The two cultivators retreated to the edge of the earthen wall, looking at Shi Chen in terror.

  "Too late!" Ishikawa flicked his hand and eight black needles shot out into the air.

  At the same time, two iron thorns pierced out from the middle of the earth wall.

  "Ugh!" The two men's chests were simultaneously pierced with a satisfying sound. If the two had been a bit farther away from the earthen wall, they might have been able to hold on for a little while longer, but being so close to it allowed Ishikawa to gain an advantage.

  In any case, the result of the two deaths will not change.

  "If I don't kill you, my secret won't be safe. Who made you guys look for death?" Ishikawa let out a light sigh and picked up the three people's storage bags.

  The sword flew out of the ground wall.

  Ishikawa's time in the sixth layer of Ki training was extremely short, and he didn't even have enough time to learn how to fly with his sword, so he barely managed to fly out from the earthen wall.

  "How can you wield a sword!" The cultivator at the fifth layer of Qi Refining stared at Ishikawa as he drew his sword, shouting in surprise.

  To know how to ride a flying sword, you need at least sixth-level Qi training.

  At this moment of surprise during the fifth layer of Qi training, his footsteps were also careless and he was suddenly struck by a palm from a Tianyuan puppet.

  Crack! A crisp sound of a fracture, his arm was broken. Dealing with the four puppets became even more difficult.

  "Master Shi, I didn't know you were already a sixth-layer cultivator in the Refining Qi stage. Spare me, I'm also a disciple of Cloud Elder, let's consider our shared sect..." The fifth-layer cultivator begged.

  Ishikawa said coldly: "If you hadn't come to ambush me, I wouldn't have lost my life. Since you're here, stay and keep the secret for me."

  Yun Lao's disciple can't live anymore.

  After finishing speaking, Ishikawa sat cross-legged on the ground and began to adjust his breath, ignoring the pleas of the fifth-level cultivators in the Qi-refining stage.

  ………

  A moment later, Ishikawa stood up and put away the storage bag of a fifth-level Qi-refining cultivator. Then he cast a spell to clear the corpses on the ground with a wave of quicksand.

  Even the bloodstains on the ground were cleaned up, and soon it was as if nothing had happened here.

  This battle had cost Ishikawa two hours.

  So Ishikawa hastened his pace, hoping to reach Xiuzhen Town before dawn.

  ……………

  After the fastest sprint, Ishikawa finally arrived at Xiuzhen Town shortly after dawn. Taking advantage of the sparse crowd in the morning, Ishikawa quickly entered and exited several shops, selling a large amount of Xuan Iron and Jingjin at extremely low prices.

  This time, Ishikawa had prepared a mask in advance, making it impossible for the other party to discern his appearance. Moreover, Ishikawa's display of sixth-layer Cultivation Base also made those shops dare not underestimate him.

  One hand takes the money, one hand takes the goods, and the goods are of good quality and low price. No store owner would be foolish enough to ask about the source of these materials, for them, making a profit is the top priority.

  After visiting over a dozen shops, Ishikawa already had 7-8 thousand spirit stones in his hands. This only spent a small portion of the xian fu's mysterious iron and refined gold. It wasn't that Ishikawa didn't want to sell more, but if he made too many transactions, he would have to wait for the shopkeepers to come out, and Ishikawa didn't have time to wait for them, so he just said they could trade again next time.

  He found a deserted corner, Ishikawa adjusted his collar and dressed up as an ordinary sixth-level cultivator of the Qi Refining stage, and walked into the store called Jibao Zhai with ease.

  From Shen's mouth, Ishikawa learned that the two sneak attacks he had encountered were both caused by that shop assistant.

  Ishikawa's anger suddenly flared up, but this time it was easy to say. Ishikawa easily resolved the situation. However, last time Ishikawa managed to escape from those few people's sneak attack, it was absolutely luck.

  "Welcome, sir! You've arrived?" The shop assistant's face fell when he saw Ishikawa arrive, but he still hurried over.

  Ishikawa said coldly: "Who is the boss in this store? I have a big business to discuss."

  "Big business?" A middle-aged man in a brocade robe walked out from behind the counter, smiling: "This guest officer, I am Guan Yuanlin, the owner of Jibao Pawnshop. If there's anything you need, just arrange it with these little guys."

  Ishikawa said in a cold voice: "What if I must speak with the shopkeeper personally?"

  Gong Yuanlin's face changed slightly, if Ishikawa was just an ordinary cultivator, he would have driven him out long ago, but the cultivation of the sixth layer of Qi Refining Period displayed by Ishikawa made him dare not underestimate.

  In Ishikawa of this age, cultivators who can reach the sixth layer of Qi Refining are countable on one's fingers. Moreover, without exception, they are all carefully cultivated by large families.

  "Which family is this after all?" thought Gong Yuanlin in his heart.

  "Please come in and take a seat, sir." Gong Yuanlin led Shi Chuan to a small room inside the inner house. Before long, the young shop assistant who had greeted Shi Chuan earlier came in with a teapot and stood beside them with his hands clasped together.

  A faint tea fragrance slowly spreads in the small room.

  Gong Yuanlin picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, saying: "This is top-grade spiritual tea. Ordinary people who drink it can strengthen their bodies and prolong their lifespan. It also has many benefits for us cultivators. Please, sir, have a taste."

  Ishikawa didn't even give him a glance and coldly said: "Forget the tea, I'm afraid if I drink it, I won't be able to leave."

  Gong Yuanlin's face turned black, and he said coldly: "What do you mean, fellow Taoist? Do we, the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, still covet something from a mere sixth-layer Qi Refining cultivator like you? If you don't want to do business, you can leave! We won't see you off!"

  Ishikawa said calmly and lightly, "Ask him what I bought last time I came here."

  Gong Yuanlin looked at Xiaochen and nodded, indicating for him to speak up.

  The young shop assistant hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and said: "Last time this customer bought ten pellets of Enlightenment Dan, three bottles of Gathered Yuan Dan, five bottles of Condensed Yuan Dan, as well as the high-grade Refining Equipment Technique..."

  Gong Yuanlin listened to the shopkeeper's account, his face surprisingly revealing a hint of astonishment. He couldn't help but size up Ishikawa again, this young man whose cultivation had advanced so rapidly and who was so generous with his spending, buying hundreds of spirit stones' worth of elixirs and techniques all at once.

  Now, Gong Yuanlin was even more convinced that Ishikawa was a member of some big family.
