After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 54 Back Mountain
Wow, that's a huge profit!

[Senior sister is really amazing, haha, ninety crystals isn't even a fraction of the value of a Purple Mystic Fruit, haha.]

The stall owner really misjudged the situation this time.

Chen Lan breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing her joy, and pretended to frown and think about it for a moment before reluctantly paying the money.

When Chen Lan returned to her stall, she noticed that Ji Qingqing's smile was almost bursting out, but she managed to suppress it by pursing her lips.

She glared at Ji Qingqing, who then stopped smiling and pretended to complain, "Oh dear, what kind of seeds are so expensive? Senior sister, are we being ripped off?"

Upon hearing this, the stall owner quickly replied, "How could that be? No one is more fair in business than me. You definitely can't get this price anywhere else."

Chen Lan and Ji Qingqing exchanged a glance, both wanting to laugh.

And let me tell you, you definitely couldn't buy Purple Mystic Fruit seeds at this price elsewhere.

Chen Lan and the other woman were putting on an act, but Mo Jiuwei was unaware of it. She still thought that her senior sisters were genuinely worried about the price of the seeds.

Those are seeds of the Purple Mystic Fruit! They weren't overpriced at all, really!

Once you grow the Purple Mystic Fruit, you'll realize just how lucky you are!

If we're really talking about suckers, then it should be this stall owner, hehe.

"I hope so." Chen Lan nodded. "But whether it's expensive or not, it's already been bought. As long as my junior sister Jiuwei likes it, then it's worth it."

As she spoke, she poked Mo Jiuwei's little nose.

Mo Jiuwei's eyes lit up immediately.

Wow, Senior Sister Chen is so nice! I like her so much!

It's not enough to only like Senior Sister Chen, there's also Senior Sister Ji!

Not wanting to be outdone, Ji Qingqing quickly chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Junior Sister Jiuwei's preferences are the most important. Since she likes this seed, it's worth it no matter how much it costs."

[Senior Sister Ji is so nice, I like her too!]

Ji Qingqing then smiled.

The stall owner: ...

No, you should have said so earlier!

If I had known you would have this attitude, I wouldn't have been so foolish as to lower the price!

Chen Lan and Ji Qingqing didn't care what his feelings were; the transaction was over, so they let him do whatever he wanted.

They set up their stall for twelve hours and successfully sold everything except for one or two bottles of pills.

The initial sales were normal, with about 70% of the items sold. The remaining 30% were sold at a reduced price, but not by much, so there was still a profit.

The main reason is that these pills and magical artifacts are the most basic models, which are only made by Hu Jiu and his fellow beginners. As their skills improve, the things they refine will become even better.

Therefore, there's no need to keep these things. Sell them as soon as possible and exchange them for crystals for peace of mind.

After selling out and packing up, they said goodbye to the other stall owners and returned to their sect.

When we got back, we found everyone searching for something.

"What's wrong?" Ji Qingqing asked, puzzled.

"The spot is gone." Yi Xingyun scratched his head. "I haven't seen it since last night, and it hasn't appeared all day today."

"Spots? Could it have escaped from the sect?" Ji Qingqing was taken aback.

Spotted is the same spotted dog that came from Qingfeng Ridge. It also looks like it has suffered a lot and seems very humane. Since arriving at Xianlai Sect, it has always behaved very well.

It eats whatever you feed it, and isn't picky at all. It barks when strangers approach, but is usually very docile.

It never caused any trouble and always followed people around.

This seems to be the first time it's been sought after. "Probably not, it has no interest in leaving the sect, it shouldn't leave on its own," Liu Feng said.

[A spot? It's on the back hill.]

Mo Jiuwei, however, was eating her fingers as she thought to herself.

Back mountain?

The back mountain of Xianlai Sect is somewhat desolate. Before it was abandoned, it used to raise some spirit beasts and cultivate medicinal fields.

However, it was neglected and no one took care of it, so it gradually became overgrown with weeds.

"Could it be in the back mountain?" Chen Lan asked.

"The back mountain? Oh no, isn't it dangerous there?" Ji Qingqing asked with some worry. "I remember there are monsters there."

The back mountain is a proper mountain with birds and beasts, but there are no powerful demonic beasts, so it will not affect the disciples of the Immortal Sect.

But... for freckles, that could be dangerous.

"Let's go look for it," Chen Lan said, frowning. "If we can save it, we will. Spot is quite sensible."

It's still a life; we can't just ignore it knowing it's gone into danger.

No one has an opinion.

The back mountain was large, and in order to find people—or rather, dogs—everyone was called out, except for the sect leader Xu Yihan, who had difficulty walking.

However, when they actually went to look for them, they realized they had worried too much.

Because of Mo Jiuwei's presence, and with her guidance, it wasn't long before everyone found themselves covered in mud and dirt halfway up the mountain.

It rained a few days ago, and the ground was slightly damp. The dog got covered in mud, so dirty that you could hardly see the spots on its body.

To everyone's surprise, Spot wasn't injured; on the contrary, it looked...

"My God, how did it get so big?" Ji Qingqing stared at it in astonishment. "Am I seeing things?"

"It's not my eyes playing tricks on me, it's gotten bigger and stronger." Liu Feng stared at the spots. "Strange, what happened?"

The spots are now larger than before, as if they've grown a bit bigger and stronger.

Even when it's standing there, you can see the powerful muscle outline of its hind legs.

"Wang Wang!"

Ever since Spotty saw them, it has been wagging its tail excitedly, and now it let out an excited bark.

"Stop barking! Who told you to come here on your own and get all dirty!" Meng Ling scolded, then cast a spell on it, and it quickly became clean again.

This makes it even more obvious; the change in body shape is indeed significant.

Just then, Spot called out again, took a few steps in one direction, and looked back at them.

"Don't rush, it seems to be trying to lead us somewhere." Liu Feng noticed something was wrong. "Let's go, follow it."

The group followed it, and saw it sniffing as it walked. After a while, it stopped under a tree and began to dig at the soil with its claws.

Now everyone knows why it was so dirty.

"What are you digging for? Is there something good in this soil?" Du Yue asked with a smile.

Once everyone was relieved to find that the spots were nothing serious, they were able to laugh and joke around again.

But as soon as she finished speaking, her eyes widened.

Because something was actually pulled out of the spot!
It was a black mass, darker than the soil, and its shape was not very clear; all that was known was that it was round.
