Yunpeng Island.

Buildings of all sorts of unique styles and charm stood together—some simple, some grand and some old-fashioned.

As the trading center of the major clans in the Southern Sea, the architecture on the streets was a blend of the different and unique styles of each clan.

For example, the store belonging to the Herculean Demon Bull Clan incorporated a plain and rough style with a large herculean demon bull symbol distinctively engraved on the signboard.

Whereas the Golden Luan clan had a tremendous, golden palace-like building shaped like a bird’s nest.

It was morning. The sky was bright and beautiful, but Yunpeng Island was already very lively and bustling with people from various clans.

The hustle and bustle of everyday life filled every area.

There were not only all kinds of business stores, but also stalls and markets scattered all over the area as well as places of entertainment such as restaurants and arenas.

It was like a peculiar world with creatures from various clans including dragon whales, water apes, sea clams and other sea creatures. There were also land creatures such as blood lions, green falcons, golden luan, and demon elephants.

There were even more bizarre creatures, such as creatures that were dozens of feet tall and were from the Bronze Ant Clan and the Iron Eagle Clan which had members with jet-black wings and human bodies.

However, the majority of them were dressed as cultivators and only a very small number walked around in their true appearance.

“It’s so busy…” Lin Xun strolled leisurely through the noisy streets with his hands behind his back, finding everything novel and interesting.

It was an eye-opening experience for him to see so many different clan creatures gathered in one place.

It’s a pity that I haven’t seen a human cultivator.

The depths of the Spirit Burial Sea were no place for a human.

“Come, take a look, the buns made from toad worms from the seabed are very juicy! It’s only ten sea crystals for one!”

“Young master, would you like to try the sky fragrant liquor specially brewed by our Green Bee Clan? It’s made from the powder of hundreds of flowers and refined by our spirit masters. The price is very good!”

“Big sale! Crazy big sale! The Hundred Treasure Bag was woven with the unique craftsmanship of the Blood Soul Clan. Inside it is an acre of space. It is a must-have treasure for your travels!”

……

Street traders were hawking one after another.

Lin Xun vaguely felt he had returned to the bustling cities of the Ziyao Empire. The aura of the world of mortals assaulted his face.

“Do you have sea crystals?” Lin Xun suddenly stopped and turned to ask Qing Yunyang.

The corner of Qing Yunyang’s lips twitched and then he tossed a pouch at him. “There are ten thousand sea crystals in there. It should be enough for you.”

“Thank you.” Lin Xun smiled and put them away.

Next, he began his sweeping operation. The eight treasure tanghulu of the Rainbow Cloud Clan, the toad earthworm buns of the Golden Thread Snake Clan, the sky fragrant liquor of the Azure Bee Clan…

All kinds of unusual delicacies, foods, aged wines, snacks...Lin Xun unhesitatingly bought a bunch.

He purchased every rare and unusual item he saw along the way with a wave of his hand.

They were all specialty products of the various clans in the Spirit Burial Sea and couldn’t be found in the Ziyao Empire. The prices were very reasonable, and they were all very unique.

Lin Xun wasn’t sure whether he would have the chance to come to the Spirit Burial Sea again, so he planned to use the opportunity to sweep everything.

Of course, the majority was bought for relatives and friends such as Xia Zhi and Xiaoke.

“Young Master, this is the herbal jelly cream of our Mountain Sprite Clan. It can help women maintain their youthful appearance forever. Even if you won’t use it, you should get some for your wives, mistresses or your sweethearts.”

“I’ll take some!”

“How many?”

“I’ll take one hundred jars for now!”

“Okay!”

Similar scenes constantly played out in different places.

“This guy is so unreasonable...” Qing Yunyang’s gaze turned complicated and strange

Ever since he entered Yunpeng Market, he hadn’t said much.

Additionally, his attitude towards Lin Xun changed completely. He no longer detested him, and he no longer felt depressed and annoyed.

But at the same time, emotions of doubt, bewilderment, shock and fear rose in his heart.

“Is what the old ancestor said true? Is this guy really the demon god youngster?”

That doubt constantly stirred his mind like a thunderbolt, making him unable to calm down.

As the saint of the Azure Turtle Clan, he had immediately learned about the incidents in the Deva Secret Realm.

However, he couldn’t associate Lin Xun with that name demon god youngster!

The demon god youngster he had heard about in the news was domineering, ruthless and terrifying. He crushed experts of all clans along the way, and he slaughtered countless heroes in his path. He launched a bloodbath and was invincible.

In the final battle, he had single-handedly fought against four top saints with divine powers and unrivaled might!

A character like the demon god youngster was like a legend, full of brilliance that would instill fear and awe in many peers.

Even Qing Yunyang shuddered inwardly when he heard the news and couldn’t believe it.

Regardless, the feats of the demon god youngster were engraved deep in Qing Yunyang’s mind, and he even regarded him as an invincible legendary figure in his heart.

However, the youngster in front of him looked as plain as still water. Although his demeanor wasn’t bad, he was far from being domineering and cruel. He was more like an ordinary, handsome young man.

What made Qing Yunyang the most dumbfounded was that the youngster acted like a country bumpkin when he entered Yunpeng Market. He exclaimed at everything he saw as if he had never seen the world before. It was so embarrassing to be next to him.

How could that guy be that fierce demon god youngster?

The more Qing Yunyang thought about it, the more confused he became.

“Do you have any more sea crystals left?” Lin Xun’s voice ringing in his ears snapped him out of his rambling thoughts.

“You’ve spent ten thousand sea crystals in that short amount of time?” Qing Yunyang was speechless.

“Ah, the Yunpeng Market indeed deserves its reputation. There are so many good things, I couldn’t control myself!” Lin Xun sighed.

Qing Yunyang almost rolled his eyes. Look at all those things you bought! Can they be called good things? They can only entertain children!

In the end, Qing Yunyang resisted the strong urge to complain and gave Lin Xun another ten thousand sea crystals. He wasn’t afraid of Lin Xun, but was instead worried about being scolded by Patriarch Qing Lie.

“You’re not a bad person. Thank you, I will repay your kindness when I have a chance in the future.” Lin Xun glanced at Qing Yunyang with a smile before he continued to sweep the goods.

Repay my kindness?

I’ll be happy as long as you don’t bring me trouble!

To his surprise, Lin Xun did not cause any issues. He just splurged on everything he saw again.

In less than an hour, Lin Xun had asked him for sea crystals three more times. He didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

And it continued to happen…

Although Qing Yunyang was the Saint of the Azure Turtle Clan and was wealthy, he didn’t bring many sea crystals with him, so he couldn’t stand Lin Xun’s extravagant spending anymore.

“That…” But he couldn’t say anything.

Lin Xun was excitedly bargaining with an old man from the Scarlet Jiao Clan for a pair of pearl hairpins. He couldn’t help, but turn his head in puzzlement. “Huh? What is it?”

“It’s nothing.” Qing Yunyang held back again when he faced Lin Xun. He found it hard to stop the youth.

He was the high and mighty saint of the Azure Turtle Clan. How could he make a fuss over some sea crystals? It would be shameful if word got out.

However, his heart hurt!

Lin Xun had spent so many sea crystals on ordinary items. Nothing he had bought was worth his attention. He found it a waste of money.

“This guy seems to treat me like a money tree...” Qing Yunyang became more and more sullen and silent along the way.

“Hmm, that should be about it.” Lin Xun finally ended his sweeping operation.

Qing Yunyang couldn’t help from heaving a sigh of relief. He made a rough calculation in his head and found that Lin Xun had spent close to eighty thousand sea crystals in less than an hour!

𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Eighty thousand sea crystals! It’s enough to buy an extremely rare heaven-grade treasure!

“I must thank you.” Lin Xun smiled in satisfaction. “Where shall we go next?”

“I was just about to tell you that I’m going to a gathering later. If you don’t want to go, you can wait for me nearby,” Qing Yunyang said quickly. He had been extremely bored following Lin Xun like a servant.

It would be great if he could get rid of Lin Xun.

“That’s a good idea.” Lin Xun stroked his chin.

Qing Yunyang’s face lit up “So you agree?”

Lin Xun shook his head. “It’s a good idea, but I’m not familiar with this place so it would be bad if something unexpected happens. It’s best if I go with you.”

The corners of Qing Yunyang’s lips twitched imperceptibly; his face stiffened and he squeezed out a twisted smile. “I guess…”

“Well, let’s not waste time. Hurry let’s go.” Lin Xun smiled, as though he didn’t notice Qing Yunyang’s change.

“Come with me,”

Qing Yunyang turned around, his face the most overcast it had ever been. He couldn’t help but feel depressed again.

“Oh, by the way, what gathering is this?” asked Lin Xun

“It’s a gathering among the core disciples of various clans. There won’t be a single ordinary person attending there,” Qing Yunyang said helplessly.

But soon, he assumed a solemn expression as though he thought of something. “When we get to the gathering, you must not stir up trouble and you must not reveal your identity. If you don’t agree, I won’t take you even if the Patriarch is unhappy with me.”
