Chaos Spirit Field

Zhao Shanhe was filled with confusion. He clearly remembered his aunt telling him that the distance from Luocheng to the Qingniu Sect was over eight thousand miles. He felt that the speed of a crane wasn't very fast, even slower than a modern airplane. However, he was puzzled by the fact that they had only been away from Luocheng for about an hour. According to common sense, they should not have reached their destination yet.

It's not shameful to ask if you don't understand something. Zhao Shanhe asked, "Aunt, I remember you mentioned that the distance between Qingniu Sect and Luocheng is over 8,000 miles. But we've only been on the journey for less than an hour, so we shouldn't be there soon."

Yang Xiaochan said, "Shanhe, let's go to Funiufang Market and take the teleportation array. If we rely on Qingluan to fly back, it will take several days."

"So that's how it is, auntie. Qingluan is so big, and it can also ride on the teleportation array."

"Spirit pets can be stored in spirit pet bags. It won't affect the teleportation array. Funiu Market is the only place in Daliang Country with a teleportation array. It's owned by the Qingniu Sect. If you want to go home to visit your family, you can teleport there."

"Aunt, it must cost a lot of money to take a teleportation array."

"The Qingniu Sect needs 120 low-grade spirit stones to teleport to Funiu Market. Guardians and above can use the teleportation array for free."

"One hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones, that's one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver. That's really expensive."

"As long as your cultivation level is high, everything will be easy. That city is Funiufang Market.

A crane descended from the sky onto an open space in front of a city. Zhao Shanhe saw the words "Funiu" written on the top of the city wall. It wasn't as grand as Luocheng, and it didn't even have a gate. Walking in felt like entering a market, with vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the road. It was probably the Immortal Master's turn.

Zhao Shanhe looked around, and the flashing red light everywhere almost blinded his eyes. Unfortunately, he was short of money, so he could only satisfy his eyes. He didn't know that he was actually not poor. The one hundred Qi Refining Pills given by Tan Tai Yulong were of great value.

The group arrived in front of a mansion. Tan Tai Yulong showed a token and the guard at the door saluted hurriedly.

"Ma Dezhu, the guard of Funiufang, meets Deputy Hall Master Tantai."

"I need to use the teleportation array to return to the sect and make some arrangements."

"Deputy Hall Master Tantai, please wait a moment. I will report this to Deacon Li."

About half a cup of tea later, a middle-aged man hurried over. No surprise, it was Deacon Li. He said, "Master Tantai, the teleportation array is ready. Please come this way."

Tantai Yulong said nothing more, leading the others to follow. They arrived at an open space covered with mysterious patterns. After they stood, a white light appeared. Zhao Shanhe suddenly felt carsick. When he came to his senses, he found that he was still in the open space, but the mysterious patterns on the ground were different from before. He looked around. Ouyang Bufan was relatively calm, but Luo Tianshuang looked drunk.

Yang Xiaochan said, "Shanhe, help your little wife, let's go out."

Luo Tianshuang tried to steady herself, but her body refused to obey. Without a word, Zhao Shanhe leaned over and said gently, "Wife, let me carry you."

"Thank you"

Without much hesitation, Luo Tianshuang slowly climbed onto Zhao Shanhe's broad, solid back. She felt all her fatigue and pain gradually dissipate, replaced by endless peace of mind and happiness.

Zhao Shanhe was speechless when he heard the snoring coming from his back. The little girl Luo Tianshuang actually fell asleep. She would be his wife day and night, so he could just consider it as an early investment.

As the group exited the teleportation array, the guards guarding the formation quickly saluted Tan Tai Yulong and Yang Xiaochan, apparently recognizing their identities. The leader said, "Ma Dehua, the steward of Qingniufang, greets Tan Tai Hall Master, Yang's personal disciple."

Tan Tai Yulong nodded slightly and left with a few people. After they left the mansion, Zhao Shanhe asked, "Aunt, why did my uncle become so serious and ignore that Deacon Ma?"

"Shanhe, your uncle doesn't like socializing. He's just a deacon, what's the point of arguing with him? This is the Qingniu Market. Don't come here until you've reached the middle stage of Qi Refining. It's best to buy things in stores. Although they're a bit more expensive, at least there are no fakes. When buying things at street stalls, be careful. If you're not sure, show your Qingniu Sect disciple token. At least those sellers won't go too far and sell you fake things."

"Aunt, this Qingniu Market doesn't look much bigger than Funiu Market, yet we've already reached the city gate so quickly."

"The teleportation arrays in the market towns are usually built at the market entrances. Qingniu Market is ranked eighth in Dongzhou, with a radius of 1,500 miles, no smaller than Daliang Country. What you've seen is just the tip of the iceberg. Let's go to Xianhe. Qingniu Market is still 500 miles away from Qingniu Sect."

After Qingluan came out of the spirit pet bag, it cried out to Zhao Shanhe, as if it had something to say.

Zhao Shanhe guessed what Qingluan meant and said, "Qingluan, I don't have any candied haws anymore. I'll make some for you when I get back. I wonder if Qingniu Sect has any red haws."

Tantai Yulong said, "Shanhe, Qingluan seems to like you very much."

"Uncle, I have a wife now. Can Qingluan transform into a beautiful woman?"

Tantai Yulong said seriously, "In theory, spirit beasts can cultivate into human form. You still have a chance."

"Uncle, what you said is different from what aunt said. You actually made fun of me."

"I just don't like dealing with outsiders, and you're not an outsider. Go back and make ten strings of candied haws for Qingluan. I'll prepare the ingredients. You have the potential to be a talented chef, and I'm waiting for your gift."

"Uncle, I will definitely work hard."

Luo Tianshuang on his back said, "Husband, I want to eat candied haws too."

"Wife, you're awake, get off my back."

"Who's awake? I was talking in my sleep."

Yang Xiaochan was laughing so hard that her body was shaking. Tantai Yulong was so fascinated by her that he said, "Xiaochan, you are so beautiful."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The children are all here."

Zhao Shanhe said, "Aunt, why should you be shy when your uncle praises your beauty? Tianshuang, you are so cute."

"My dear, am I not beautiful?"

"You're cute now, but you'll be beautiful when you grow up. It won't be too late for me to praise you then."

Ouyang Bufan sat silently in the corner, the bursts of laughter and chatter piercing his ears. He looked at the lively scene before him, but his heart was filled with loneliness and jealousy.

In his eyes, Zhao Shanhe was nothing more than a five-element spiritual root, a piece of trash. Yet, he could receive praise from his master, the love of his master's wife, and the affection of Luo Tianshuang. These should have belonged to a peerless genius with a natural spiritual root like him! Thinking of this, Ouyang Bufan clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.

He gritted his teeth secretly and made a vow: "One day, I will take back everything that belongs to me!"
