So what! Are you going to kill me?

Chapter 52: Treasures bought back, villa by the sea

Jin Cancan exchanged some pills at the system store and took them. In this world of cultivation where life is at the edge of a knife, you can save on anything except pills for healing.

Although cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage have stronger physical qualities than ordinary people, their bodies are still far from being indestructible and able to heal themselves instantly.

Her chest was pierced by the sword, damaging her internal organs and meridians. If she could receive treatment from a great medicine practitioner like Elder Chunjian of Tingxue Valley, she would be able to recover in a few days. However, relying solely on medicine would take weeks to repair the damaged meridians and internal organs.

The system still admires Jin Cancan. No matter how strong her mental quality is, she was just an ordinary student who lived in peace for a long time and had never suffered any harm before she came here. After coming here, she suffered multiple serious injuries. No matter how painful it was, she didn't make a sound. She was even able to kill a Jindan monk in such a dangerous situation...

Someone like the host could have lived a wonderful life in her original world.

Thinking of this, the system felt a little guilty, and it gently reminded: [During the recovery period, you should try to avoid getting injured again, and do not overuse your spiritual power, otherwise it may aggravate the injury, prolong the recovery time, and even put your life in danger. ]

[It is better to return to Tianpingjian Sect as soon as possible to avoid accidental injuries. ]

Jin Cancan bought a map from the grocer, rubbed the place he wanted to go with his fingers, and replied: "If I really stay in the confinement room forever, I will be waiting for death."

The matter of the Secret Realm of Thunder could not be revealed so easily. Based on her understanding of the world of cultivation, those powerful beings who had been fighting with the Fallen Race at the border for a long time hated the Exiles extremely.

Regardless of the truth, it is an indisputable fact that she is involved with the Exiles. Even if the poison in her body can prove that she was coerced, based on the principle of killing a thousand innocent people without letting one go, her life and death is just a matter of their whim.

She did not hesitate to speculate about others with the greatest malice. The world of cultivation was not bound by laws like the modern world. Here, the strong preyed on the weak, and the endless struggle for resources and rights perfectly interpreted the four words "human nature is sinister".

If she were in power, she might be even more cruel and arbitrary than those people.

System: [At least the people of Tian Ping Jian Sect are on your side, so you are not isolated and helpless. ]

Jin Cancan curled her lips. She would not place her hope on those people from the Tianping Sword Sect.

She did not refute, but disguised herself slightly and headed towards her destination.

In the world of cultivation, there is a place shrouded in shadows and filled with a strange atmosphere. No matter what kind of forces, they can exchange items and set up stalls there. That is the black market.

After delivering the three leaf orders required for the black market, Jin Cancan stepped into this chaotic world isolated from the outside world.

The dim light is like a thick veil, making everything look hazy and unreal.

The winding paths are as intricate as a maze, with buildings of varying heights on both sides scattered in disorder. The night fog makes the view blurred. Faint and strange lights emanate from the dazzling array of items displayed on the street stalls, like fireflies in the dark night.

Mysterious figures in black robes shuttled through the streets, they were in a hurry and silent, as if they were guarding some unspeakable secret. The stall owners were all wearing wide cloaks, hiding their faces under the hoods, revealing only a pair of eyes that were either shrewd, cunning, or vigilant, and their gazes kept scanning the passers-by coming and going.

The items on the stalls are varied and bizarre.

The light of ancient magic weapons emitting powerful spiritual energy flickers from time to time, the magical elixir in the exquisite jade bottle is lingering with wisps of tempting fragrance; the strange monsters in the corner are locked tightly with thick iron chains and roaring softly; there are rare spiritual plants in the world, and secret manuals of martial arts engraved with mysterious spells... almost all the treasures you can think of are available here.

Jin Cancan also put on a cloak to conceal her figure and took the initiative to say, "System, accept the monthly task."

System: [Monthly Task: Consume 5000 million Spiritual Stones within this month.]

【Remaining mission time: 12 days.】

[Task reward: Wealth value 5000. ]

【Is it accepted? 】

Jin Cancan raised her eyebrows slightly. This reward was several times more generous than she had expected, so she immediately answered, "Yes."

The system is pleased: [I wish the host had been so positive from the beginning...]

Jin Cancan: "Previous missions either only gave the mission target flower spirit stones, or the elixirs and props I had no use for, so it was hard to be active."

"What are the three most painful things in the world?"

"First, there is no money to spend in life."

"Second, the money was not spent before death."

“Third, if you have money, you can only spend it on others.”

"I've lived for more than 20 years and have experienced all three things. I can't help laughing when I think about it."

system:【......】

Jin Cancan wandered around the black market aimlessly, not in a hurry to buy anything.

She noticed some figures moving quietly between those seemingly ordinary stalls.

These people's actions were extremely secretive. They were dressed in dark clothes and almost blended into the surrounding environment. If it weren't for her sharp eyes, they would have been difficult to detect.

They walked with a steady pace and seemed to be strolling around casually, but in fact they were secretly monitoring the entire black market.

Several key entrances to the black market are manned by masters with unfathomable strength. Their positions seem random, but in fact they are impeccable.

Jin Cancan was relieved a little bit. There was order in the chaos here, and killing people for treasures was not allowed.

Then, she's going to start spending money.

She walked towards a secluded stall and unexpectedly bumped into a child.

The child was only as tall as her calf and was wearing a cloak that was too big for him. The hood almost blocked all his vision. He stepped on the sleeve that was dragging on the ground and bumped into Jin Cancan.

"Apologize."

The burly man walking in front turned back and gave the order.

The child got up silently without saying a word.

"Apologize," the man repeated.

Jin Cancan had already confirmed that she had nothing missing or extra, so she said, "It's okay."

Her eyes were drawn to an inconspicuous stall in a corner. She had a strong premonition and didn't want to waste any time.

The stall owner was a skinny guy with a cunning look in his eyes. A rusty ancient sword lay among the stalls, looking unremarkable.

Seeing Jin Cancan heading straight for the stall, the system asked in astonishment: [How do you know that sword is the most precious opportunity in the black market! ]

Jin Cancan: "Based on the hundreds of cultivation novels I've read through late at night, two hundred of them have plots about picking up bargains on the black market. The rottener the item, the higher its value."

"Buying treasures in reverse and having villas near the sea are all based on experience, so just learn from them."

"Look at this ancient sword, it has infinite power. Whoever gets this sword will be able to dominate an area!" Jia Er praised it at the top of his voice, and his voice sounded particularly harsh in the dark market.
