One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!

The young woman tossed the bundle containing ten large yellow croakers to the shopkeeper, whom we should call the leather merchant. After receiving the ten croakers, the leather merchant bit them, seemingly verifying their authenticity. Once he confirmed the gold was genuine, he immediately handed Sun Yao two fox fur coats hanging on the wall.

"Sir, you can have these two fox fur coats first. I'll go get you the sable fur coat." The leather merchant said as he walked towards the outer hall, carrying a clothes rack hook in his hand.

Sun Yao held the white fox fur in one hand and the fire fox fur in the other. After examining them for a moment, he handed the fire fox fur to Yue Qiluo and then draped the white fox fur over his own shoulders.

"Qiluo, I still think you look better in red."

“I also prefer red, but you should have noticed. There’s something on these two outfits!” Yue Qiluo took the fire fox fur coat that Sun Yao handed her, shook it like Sun Yao did, and then draped it over her own shoulders.

"Of course I know! Why did I come here? I was completely attracted by their scent. Little fox, you lured me here, why don't you come out?"

As Sun Yao spoke, he patted the white fox fur around his neck, which resembled a scarf. The next second, something miraculous happened: the white fox, which had been dead and skinned to make a scarf, actually opened its mouth and spoke.

"Please, immortal, grant me justice, and for the sake of my family spirits of Changbai Mountain. This man is an evil cultivator from who-knows-where who has obtained a strange and wondrous magical artifact. With just a touch, the family spirits of us spirits who possess such artifacts immediately lose their cultivation. He has been here for two years, and countless others have come before me, but since me, six or seven of my brothers and sisters have already fallen victim to his cruelty. Fortunately, our fox clan is born with high soul power, so we have preserved a remnant of our souls in this fur, which is why we are able to beg for your help."

After the fox fur finished speaking, a white fox spirit floated out from his white fox fur coat and landed directly on Sun Yao's shoulder, which was quite fitting.

“This man harmed you, probably not just to make coats from your furs! What else do you know about him? Tell me in detail.”

“After that person’s evil magic weapon shines on us, it will cause us to lose our cultivation. Then we will be at his mercy, skinned and dismembered. Our souls and bodies will be refined by that evil magic weapon. In the end, a hundred years of cultivation will be lost in a single day, and we will all become that person’s wedding dress.”

"Oh, it seems this fellow Daoist came here specifically to see you. To be honest, I didn't want to meddle in other people's business. But I've come to the Northeast for some business that requires the help of the Ma family's ancestral spirits, so I really have to get involved. Besides, the world is so chaotic, and if evil cultivators are allowed to take over, there might be widespread suffering. That's another good reason for me to take action against him. What do you think, A'Luo?"

"Sigh, what annoyed me most when I was a heretical cultivator was these righteous people saying that I would cause great suffering and that they were acting on behalf of Heaven. Now I have become one of those righteous people acting on behalf of Heaven. It really is a cycle of karma and retribution."

“Hey, how can that be the same? Those righteous people came looking for you and you killed them, we came looking for them and killed them.” Sun Yao said, turning his head to look at the connection between the outer and inner halls. The next second, the leather merchant walked in carrying the sable fur coat.

He was about to speak to Sun Yao with the sable coat in hand when suddenly his vision blurred and he was sent flying backward. The sable coat vanished from his hand, and he crashed into the counter, smashing it to pieces.

After a while, he slowly recovered. He stood up, shook off the wood chips from his clothes, and then looked at Sun Yao, who was standing at the junction of the inner and outer halls.

"What do you mean by this, sir? Are you planning to rob me? You've already paid, so why do this?"

He patted the dirt off his clothes. Clearly, the blow hadn't caused him any real harm; it had only made his clothes a little dirty.

“Red Girl, this sable fur coat is for you. After all, we paid for it, so we can’t let it get damaged first when we start fighting. As for you, boss, why are you so irresponsible? This is the territory of the Five Immortals at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and you have to do this kind of thing here. Do you think it’s dark under the lamp? What a pity, I came to the Northeast this time to ask the immortals for some help, and you are my best stepping stone.”

"Hmph, I didn't realize you were such a busybody at such a young age. But being too nosy can lead to big problems. Didn't your elders teach you that?" The leather merchant said, as black mist began to rise around him. Within this mist, there seemed to be the roars of animals. The next second, the black mist spread behind him, and foxes, weasels, rats—all sorts of household spirits—emerged within it. It seemed that all the five immortals he had killed would appear in his black mist, but thankfully, Liu Xian'er wasn't among them.

If we're talking about who's the fiercest fighter among the Five Immortals, it's definitely Liu Xian'er, or perhaps Chang Xian. I'm sure it's because she doesn't think she can beat him, which is why she didn't dare cause trouble for Chang Xian.

“I have many masters, but none of them have ever told me to mind my own business. Today, I really want to get involved in your business. What do you think? If you have a solution, feel free to do it. I'm right here.”

"Since you insist on making trouble for me, then let's settle this with our skills. Let's see just how strong you so-called righteous sects really are, enough to make you look down on us unorthodox sects. Go, swallow him whole!"

At the leather merchant's command, the five immortals formed from black mist around him swarmed out and rushed straight towards Sun Yao. Their actions seemed to resemble the art of summoning and controlling spirits, suggesting that his method was a kind of unorthodox practice derived from shamanistic practices.

“If it were anyone else, this trick of yours might have been somewhat useful. But you just happened to run into me. There is no soul in this world that says I’m afraid of anything. I could have used lightning to shatter these demonic souls that you control, but considering their innocence, I had to resort to some unorthodox methods.” As Sun Yao spoke, he patted the treasure pouch at his waist. The pouch opened, and a small black flag flew out, growing into a tall banner in the wind.

"Soul Banner, swallow it!" After Sun Yao infused the Soul Banner with spiritual energy, a huge black vortex formed on the surface of the banner, sucking in the demon and immortal souls that rushed towards him.
