We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

After Shen Wan finished introducing the relevant information about the three great supernatural powers, Su Chen quickly came up with an idea.

He said to Shen Wan, "Then I'll take the Soul Searching Technique, but it's a bit expensive. Could you make it cheaper?"

“Since you are sincerely interested in this transaction, I will offer a discount of 500 Huangyuan Pills. This is the limit I can offer at the moment. Any further discounts would be beyond my control, so please forgive me,” Shen Wan replied readily.

Su Chen nodded: "Okay, but I don't have that many Yellow Yuan Pills on me right now. Can we trade with other items?"

“No problem. May I ask what items you wish to trade? We have professional appraisers here who can help you appraise them. It’s absolutely fair, and the prices are honest and transparent.” Shen Wan didn’t mind, and instead considered Su Chen’s needs in every way.

Su Chen shook his head: "Most of them are cultivation-related items, not particularly valuable."

As he spoke, he took out all the valuables from Elder Yan and the others.

These items were all carefully selected by him, and all of them had the marks of the three major sects erased, so that they would not be discovered when he took them out.

However, he didn't dare to be careless. He kept an eye on Shen Wan's expression as he took out the items. Seeing that there was no obvious fluctuation in the other party's aura, he knew that the other party probably hadn't noticed anything unusual about these items.

Looking at the herbs, pills, and weapons before him, Shen Wan could naturally discern their value. Indeed, as Su Chen had said, some were 'not particularly valuable,' but others were extremely valuable.

This brought a smile to his face, knowing that he had made the right decision in hosting Su Chen this time.

The fact that the other party could exchange 50,000 Yellow Yuan Pills for Pure Yuan Pills in one go shows that they indeed have a huge fortune.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll take these items for appraisal right away," Shen Wan replied hastily. He then summoned two maids to keep Su Chen company while he took the items and left. "Please feel free to ask them for anything you need, sir."

Su Chen waved his hand, understanding the meaning behind Shen Wan's words, but didn't care at all. After the other party left, he began to talk with the two maids, mainly asking them about the market. The two maids were from the market and knew more about it than he did.

Faced with Su Chen's questions, they dared not be negligent in the slightest and answered everything they knew.

In no time, Su Chen had a clear understanding of the entire market.

Just then, the door opened, and Shen Wan walked in with a smile. He waved to the two maids to leave, and then said to Su Chen, "Guest, your items are currently being appraised. It may take some time to complete the appraisal. However, based on the current valuation of the items that have been appraised, you can proceed with the transaction with our shop in advance."

Since the value of the items brought by the guest has met the requirements of our Golden Sands VIP, I can make the decision to trade with you in advance. You can choose to give me 50,000 Yellow Yuan Pills in exchange for the Soul Searching Technique. After all the items have been appraised, any overpayment will be refunded and any underpayment will be collected.

Of course, you can continue to wait for a while. During this time, if you don't mind, I will take you around and introduce you to our shop.

"Guest, what do you think?"

Su Chen was somewhat surprised to hear this, not expecting Shen Wanyi's attitude to change so drastically after his return.

They just said that the transaction could only proceed after the appraisal was completed, but in the blink of an eye they agreed to let Su Chen complete the transaction ahead of schedule.

It seems that the items Su Chen offered were quite valuable, which is why the other party changed their mind.

After a moment's thought, Su Chen nodded and said, "Here are 50,000 Yellow Origin Pills. Please give me the Soul Searching Technique, shopkeeper."

After receiving the pills from Su Chen, Shen Wan smiled brightly and nodded respectfully. As if he had been prepared, he took out a secret manual from his pocket and handed it to Su Chen.

Su Chen took the manual and immediately recognized it as a handwritten copy. The green cover had four large characters engraved on it: the Soul Searching Technique.

Ignoring Shen Wan standing to the side, Su Chen scanned the manual with his primordial spirit and began to absorb the relevant content of the supernatural power.

Shen Wan knew what Su Chen was doing and quietly left the room.

He turned left and right and came to a magnificent room. Smoke was rising from the room. It was sandalwood incense, which contained many precious medicinal herbs. It was very helpful for martial arts practitioners’ cultivation, but it was also very expensive. It required hundreds of Huangyuan Pills. Only the very wealthy could afford it.

“Miss Yin, the transaction with this person is complete. Here are his 50,000 Yellow Yuan Pills.” Unlike the respect he showed to Su Chen before, which was superficial and more like politeness, Shen Wan’s respect for this person was genuine, heartfelt, and utterly extreme.

Ahead of them, in the mist, there was a blurry figure. Even though her face was not clearly visible, one could still sense her unparalleled beauty through her silhouette. In particular, her voice carried a hint of charm: "Alright, then let's inform Huang Qin, the true disciple of Huang Sha Sect."

"Yes!"

"Did that person notice anything unusual?" Before Shen Wan could leave, Miss Yin's voice rang out again.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Wan shook his head and said, "This person made the deal very readily and probably didn't notice anything unusual. However, Miss Yin, this person has offended Huang Shamen and has now been discovered by Huang Qin. He's just a dead man anyway. Why would you still make a deal with him and waste a magical manual?"

Although this manual of supernatural powers is a rubbing, Shen Wan still doesn't quite understand it, hence this question.

After all, he had already decided in his heart that Su Chen was a dead man, so making a deal with him would be a bit redundant.

"Yes, you're right. Since he's already dead, why should we just give his things away to Huang Shamen for nothing?"

The Huangshamen have been running rampant in the Huangsha Desert for so long that they've even started interfering in our Golden Sands affairs.

Hmph, if it weren't for the generous reward offered by Huang Shamen, would I have informed the other party of this person's information?

After receiving the news, instead of being grateful, they even wanted to take back the Huangshamen items on this person. Did they really think that Huangshamen was easy to bully?
Since they want their items back, we'll give them to them. But naturally, we'll charge some interest. By exchanging them for the Soul Searching Technique—a supernatural power that everyone else discards like trash—we'll actually profit.

Miss Yin explained, her words filled with dissatisfaction towards Huang Shamen.

It turns out that three days ago, Huangsha Sect issued an arrest warrant for the death of its true disciple, informing all the martial artists in the Huangsha Desert.

Anyone who can find information about the murderer can go to Huangsha Gate to claim a reward.

At first, Shen Wan did not recognize Su Chen's identity. It wasn't until Su Chen took out Elder Yan's pile of items and asked him to appraise them that Shen Wan realized something was wrong.

So he immediately came to ask the true owner of the Golden Sands, the Miss Yin he mentioned.

After learning about this, Miss Yin asked him to trade with Su Chen first and acquire 50,000 Huangyuan Pills.

At the same time, someone was sent to notify Huang Qin, who was nearby. Huang Qin is currently on his way here after receiving the news.

Based on Miss Yin's understanding of the Huangsha Sect, they would certainly not let Su Chen go. They would not only capture Su Chen, but also take everything he had for their own use.

In this situation, it would be better to benefit oneself than to benefit those who benefit Huang Shamen.

After all, 50,000 Huangyuan Pills are a considerable sum for Huangjinsha.

As for whether Huang Shamen would come looking for her after finding out, she wasn't worried at all. No matter how domineering Huang Shamen was, their Golden Sands weren't pushovers either.

"Tell Huang Qin again not to make a move here. If he wants to attack this person, he should stay away. This is not Huang Shamen's place."

Ignoring Shen Wan's expression, Miss Yin added a sentence.

Shen Wan responded with a nod and then respectfully withdrew.

at the same time.

Inside the room, Su Chen had already inscribed the Soul Searching Technique into the panel. The conditions for cultivating this divine ability were also very simple; all that was needed was a Pure Yuan Pill.

However, he doesn't have many Pure Yuan Pills on him right now, so he can only barely cultivate to the entry level.

As for going further, one needs to find a way to obtain Pure Yuan Pills.

However, he had sold all the treasures he had looted from Elder Yan and the others, and there were no other items left to trade except for the Divine Power Fruit.

"If there's really no other way, then go to Shengyuan City to sell the Divine Fruit."

Su Chen thought to himself that he would rather sell the Divine Power Fruit in Shengyuan City than sell it here.

The main reason is that there is a Ziyang Sect stationed in Shengyuan City. Once he went to the Ziyang Sect, he immediately had a powerful backer.

Unlike here, once it's sold, it will definitely be targeted by someone.

Thinking this, Su Chen opened his eyes. Feeling somewhat bored staying in the room, he let the maid at the door come in.

"Take me around," Su Chen instructed the two men.

A maidservant quickly nodded: "Yes, honored guest, please follow me."

After saying that, he led Su Chen around for a while. After walking around for a while, Su Chen suddenly saw Shen Wan. Shen Wan waved his hand, dismissed the maid, and said to Su Chen, "Guest, how about I show you around?"

"Hmm." Su Chen readily agreed, narrowed his eyes, gave Shen Wan a deep look, and nodded with a smile.

During their stroll, Shen Wan would occasionally introduce the treasures they encountered along the way to Su Chen.

As they strolled around, Shen Wan led Su Chen to a side entrance and said, "Honored guest, this is just one location of our Golden Sands. There's another one ahead. Let me show you around there."

Su Chen didn't respond, but stopped. Shen Wan, who had taken a few steps, immediately sensed something was wrong. He turned around and looked at Su Chen with a puzzled expression, only to find that Su Chen was staring at him intently. Shen Wan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Manager Shen, why be so secretive? Sometimes it's better to speak frankly. If I'm not mistaken, it's the Huangsha Sect who have discovered my identity, haven't they?" Su Chen asked with a half-smile.

Shen Wan thought his disguise was flawless, but Su Chen still managed to see through it. At this point, continuing the pretense was pointless, so he readily admitted it.
"Indeed, as you said, although the items you brought out have all been erased, it is still possible to identify that they belong to Huangshamen."

Please forgive me, sir. You are aware of Huangshamen's status in the entire desert. By killing Huangshamen's true disciple, you have thoroughly offended Huangshamen.

Moreover, you killed not only members of the Yellow Sand Sect, but also members of the Hidden Moon Sect. We might be able to handle just one Yellow Sand Sect member, but you have offended three of the top sects in the desert. Please forgive us, we cannot continue our transaction with you.”

"So you're planning to keep all my things for yourselves?" Su Chen's voice was devoid of any emotion.

“No, these things will be taken back by the people from the three major sects. We have no authority to handle them,” Shen Wan said, shaking his head.

Somewhat surprised by Su Chen's composure, Su Chen still had a chance to escape, but judging from his appearance, he seemed to have no intention of running away at all, as if he was not afraid of the three major sects coming to capture him.

Just then, Su Chen's voice rang out: "You can't afford to offend the Yellow Sand Sect, but do you think you can afford to offend me?"

Although the three major sects are powerful, they are ultimately located in a remote corner, and in such a desolate place, that they are far from being comparable to the Ziyang Sect.

He had already learned from Yang Jiu that with his current strength, he could definitely become a true disciple of the Ziyang Sect.

In other words, his status in the Ziyang Sect was in no way inferior to that of Hongyue and others.

Although both are true disciples, the true disciples of the Ziyang Sect are naturally much more prestigious than those of the three major sects.

In particular, the Ziyang Sect, under the leadership of Ji Ziyang, became famous even on the entire front line.

It has become the second largest power in Shengyuan City, and is showing signs of rivaling the royal family.

Hearing this, Shen Wan was also puzzled. He had not found out Su Chen's background and thought that Su Chen was just a rogue cultivator.

After all, no disciple from any major power would trade 50,000 Pure Yuan Pills to them, especially since they lacked supernatural abilities.

But now, hearing what Su Chen said, she immediately realized that something was wrong with Su Chen.

He was so calm, so calm that he was fearless, and his emotions did not change at all.

Such composure suggests either strong self-confidence or a powerful background that allows one to be fearless of anyone.

He leaned more towards the latter, since he could vaguely sense Su Chen's strength, which was at most considered to be at the minor level of supernatural powers.

Looking into Su Chen's eyes, which were as still as a deep, icy pool, Shen Wan felt a sudden unease.

"Guest, this matter has nothing to do with my Golden Sands. If you wish to leave, I will not stop you." After thinking for a moment, Shen Wan finally decided to make a last-ditch effort.

But Su Chen responded with silence. He raised his head, looked up at the sky, and sighed softly, "It's probably too late to leave now."

Shenwan also spotted the figure speeding towards them from afar and fell silent.

"However, we can collect some interest first."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wan looked at Su Chen, only to see Su Chen give him a bright smile.

Then he saw a bright, sun-like disc fly horizontally towards him, reflecting back into his pupils and creating a surging, turbulent wave! (End of Chapter)
