Lin Xia and Liu Shuang walked along the market entrance and even saw two monks setting up stalls, covered in wounds. They couldn't help but sigh. "The monks must have a hard life, too."

Liu Shuang nodded, agreeing deeply: "Yes, everyone needs resources for cultivation, and they also have to buy elixirs and talismans for emergencies. Some people can't even afford magic tools. It's not easy." Liu Shuang grew up in the world of cultivation. Although she couldn't practice, her knowledge was obviously broader than Lin Xia's.

Lin Xia couldn't help but think of herself in modern society, who also stayed up late to work overtime, went to work while sick, and eventually died of a heart attack.

However, fortunately, the world of cultivation has spiritual energy to nourish the bodies of cultivators, as well as magical elixirs, so there is no need to worry about staying up late.

……

Su Qingyue seldom came to the market. After hearing from her servant that someone was selling a severely injured third-level Thunder Leopard in the market today, she hurried over.

Su Qingyue's cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, and she is already a leader among the younger generation in the family. She also practices drawing talismans.

Drawing talismans requires the blood of various monsters and spirit beasts. Different levels of talismans have different requirements for the level of blood, and different types of talismans also have requirements for the blood properties.

Just when she needed it, Su Qingyue happened to come across blood with matching attributes and levels, so she couldn't wait to come.

You want to ask why Su Qingyue didn't go to the Beast Materials Pavilion to buy it? Although the Beast Materials Pavilion on the main street can also buy monster blood, the price is not so attractive. As a cultivator, you should save money wherever you can. No one's spirit stones are wasted.

However, when Su Qingyue arrived, she happened to meet her mortal enemy Gu Zhiqiu, the ninth daughter of the Gu family.

Su Qingyue and Gu Zhiqiu are of the same age and have similar cultivation levels. They often compete with each other, and whenever they meet, they will always belittle each other for no reason. They are as hostile as water and fire.

Gu Zhiqiu was obviously also coming for the Thunder Leopard.

Although Gu Zhiqiu is not a talisman master, he has both gold and fire spiritual roots and is a natural weapon refiner. When he encounters such suitable materials for weapon refinement, he naturally cannot miss it.

Looking at Su Qingyue who hurried over, Gu Zhiqiu couldn't help but feel proud. "Oh, isn't this the Su family's Twenty-Eight? What? Are you interested in this Thunder Leopard too? Sorry, I've already agreed on the price with the stall owner."

Hearing Gu Zhiqiu's words, Su Qingyue's face showed anger, "Gu Tiechui, don't go too far!"

Although Gu Zhiqiu was a woman, due to her weapon refining, she had a relatively muscular figure, with very obvious muscles in her arms and legs. In short, she did not have the softness of other women. To hide this, she usually had to wear loose robes. Now that Su Qingyue had exposed this in public, she could not help but feel furious and immediately cursed, "Su Qingyue, you despicable villain, you only know how to expose people's shortcomings. You are simply a snake and scorpion with a heart."

"Hmph, it's much better than your androgynous look!" Su Qingyue sneered and turned to the stall owner, "How much spirit stones did this bitch offer? I'll pay 20% more than she did. Sell the Thunder Leopard to me."

"You dare?! This is the one I chose first, you are not allowed to sell it to her." Gu Zhiqiu did not give in.

The poor stall owner was surrounded by two young ladies from aristocratic families. He didn't dare to offend anyone and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It wasn't because his cultivation was insufficient, but because the families behind these two young ladies were too powerful.

Lin Xia, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but touch Liu Shuang with her hand, her eyes full of questions. She asked her in a low voice, "Is Su Qingyue from the Su family?"

Liu Shuang said, "Yes, Miss Qingyue is of the same generation as you. She is the twenty-eighth lady of the Su family's direct lineage and is from the lineage of the Third Elder."

Lin Xia nodded and said nothing more.

The two were still arguing, but in the end, Gu Zhiqiu took the initiative and bought the Thunder Leopard. Su Qingyue, feeling humiliated, left in a huff.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to see, Lin Xia and Liu Shuang continued to stroll around.

Finally, the two of them found a noodle shop with many customers on the street and ate delicious braised beef noodles. They didn't go home until they were full.

Unfortunately, as soon as he stepped into the Su family's gate, he ran into Su Qingyue who had just had an argument with someone.

"It's you! You little brat who laughed at me in the market, which lineage are you from? How come I've never seen you before?" Seeing Lin Xia, Su Qingyue's suppressed anger inevitably surged to the surface again. She had previously spotted this little brat standing in the crowd, pointing fingers at her and Gu Zhiqiu, and now she actually dared to appear in front of her?!

Although she was very scared, Liu Shuang still stood up, saluted Su Qingyue, and explained, "Miss Qingyue, this is the child of Miss Lingxue, the Second Elder's lineage."

Hearing this, Su Qingyue's attitude did not improve. "So it's you! You are just an orphan, eating and drinking from my Su family, and you dare to laugh at me."

"Qingyue, be careful with your words!" At this time, a young man dressed in fine clothes and with an elegant demeanor walked over. "This is Aunt Lingxue's daughter and Uncle Seven's niece. It's only natural for her to live in the Su family."

"Miss, this is the tenth young master of the third elder's lineage, and Miss Qingyue's biological brother." Seeing the man, Liu Shuang hurriedly whispered to Lin Xia.

"So it's my cousin. Nice to meet you. Please take care of me." Lin Xia greeted the man and then turned to Su Qingyue. "Cousin Qingyue, I think you misunderstood. I wasn't kidding you. I just heard someone arguing and mentioned the Su family, so I stopped out of curiosity and didn't identify myself in time. I beg your forgiveness."

The anger on Su Qingyue's face had not subsided yet. She put on a condescending attitude and said, "Don't call me cousin. Who is your cousin, you lowly girl from the mortal world." Knowing that her brother was there, she couldn't deal with this stinky girl. After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

"Qingyue!" Seeing his sister being so rude, the man was obviously a little angry. He turned to look at Lin Xia, "Qingyue has been spoiled. Please bear with her, cousin. I will definitely teach her well. Cousin, you just came back and must be tired. Go back and rest early."

Without waiting for Lin Xia to react, he chased in the direction Su Qingyue left.

Lin Xia: "..."

Lin Xia was speechless. Wasn't this just an unprovoked disaster? She'd just gone out for no reason, and someone was holding a grudge against her. Are all people in the cultivation world this emotionally unstable? Who would dare to go out after this?!

My good mood was completely ruined by this inexplicable pair of siblings. What does it mean to be spoiled? To be tolerant? Do I deserve to be bullied and scolded?!

At this moment, a sense of sadness suddenly emerged in Lin Xia's heart about being dependent on others. No one could stand being pointed at and scolded as an orphan who was eating and drinking for free.

But now, Lin Xia has not yet entered the Qi Refining Stage and cannot use any spiritual power. He has no way to support himself without the Su family.

Lin Xia told herself in her heart that she must practice hard and improve her cultivation. Only by standing high enough can she not be looked down upon by others, not be bullied, be her own master, and gain a foothold in the world of cultivation.

Here, the man quickly caught up with Su Qingyue, "Qingyue."

Su Qingyue stopped and said, "Brother, why are you talking to that dead girl? She's just an orphan with mixed spiritual roots."

"Yes, but don't forget, Su Linghan is behind her. At least you can't target her openly, do you understand?" The man was not angry, and his face did not show it, but his words were full of malice.

Looking at Su Qingyue who seemed to be lost in thought, a smile appeared on his face.
