Cultivation Kill

After flying out of the hysteria hospital, Shen Zige sheathed her sword and landed.

It's best not to fly around recklessly within the city. There are Core Formation cultivators in big cities. If you, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, accidentally fly over the head of a Core Formation cultivator, you might provoke their wrath and they might kill you on the spot!

Deciding to go all the way, Shen Zige and Shi Yuan planned to send the man with the loose hair to the teleportation array before going to work.

“You’re unemployed right now, aren’t you?” Shen Zige said. “I have a shop in 1219 City that specializes in killing immortals. The manager’s name is Zhao Shi. You can find it by asking around. You can work there first. Just tell the manager I’ll let you go.”

"Here are ten spirit stones." Shi Yuan handed the spirit stones to the man. "This is your basic living expenses. If you want more, you'll have to earn it yourself."

"Thank you both."

The three were walking and chatting when two city guards suddenly approached them.

"You three, lurking around like that, stop right there!"

The two city guards shouted. These two city guards were also at the Spirit Condensation stage. Moreover, even though they were inside the city and could sense the aura of the other side, they were not afraid of Shi Yuan and Shen Zige at all.

A thought popped into Shen Zige's head—to die before even achieving one's goal.

If they were to fight the city guards and alert the city government's higher-ups, he and Shi Yuan would find it impossible to move an inch.

"What can I do for you, officers?" the disheveled man asked with a smile as he stepped forward.

"Move aside and stand properly to the side."

A soldier armed with a halberd pushed him aside and continued toward Shen Zige and Shi Yuan.

"I suspect you two are hiding stolen goods. Bring your storage bags here so we can search them."

Walking ahead, the city guard in silver armor had icy eyes.

Shen Zige remained expressionless, his divine sense connecting with the guiding sword. He had made up his mind that if this city guard dared to come up and take his storage ring, he would definitely take action!

When faced with difficulties, it's okay to back down a little, but if the other party is aggressive and you still give in, that's cowardly. Shen Zige would rather be wanted and hunted down by the world than be a coward!

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

A bloodbath is about to unfold—

"Haha."

Shi Yuan suddenly burst into laughter: "Brothers of the city guards, it's a misunderstanding, we are not bad people."

“You can’t tell a bad guy just by looking at him,” another city guard said.

"I am a friend of the Second Prince and the Third Prince of the Bamboo Kingdom." Shi Yuan took out a jade token from his storage bag and handed it to the city guard.

The city guard took the jade token, examined it carefully, his expression changed, and he knelt down, saying, "My lord, you may give me any orders, I will do my utmost!"

Shi Yuan went over to retrieve the jade token and said, "I have something to tell you now, which is to get out of here!"

The two city guards fled in a panic.

The crisis was thus averted.

The three of them set off again.

"Good things come to those who wait, and spirit stones aren't easy to earn," Shi Yuan sighed. "Every time I'm about to succeed in making money, some strange and monstrous things always pop up."

Shen Zige nodded: "Misfortunes never come singly, good things are often hard to come by, and sorrow is a common occurrence in life."

“If you go to university, I suggest you study philosophy,” Shi Yuan said. “You’re eighteen this year, an adult, and you can go out and make your own way in the world!”

"A man should aspire to travel far and wide, and roam freely in the world," the man with disheveled hair said. "Life is about dreams, like an eagle soaring through the sky."

“This is a world of cultivation, where all laws and rules are formulated by high-level cultivators,” Shen Zige said to the man with the loose hair. “You cannot and are powerless to break the rules, and relying on them is useless. You can only choose to abide by them or cultivate to become a high-level cultivator and participate in the formulation of the rules.”

After seeing the man with the loose hair off, Shi Yuan handed twenty-five supplementary tickets to Shen Zige.

"Let's get started. First target: Ninety-Eight Arena City." Shi Yuan waved to Shen Zige and then disappeared into the teleportation array.

Shen Zige headed to City Ninety-Seven.

"My name is now Shi Dayuan, the eldest son of the Shi family in Xingguo City 96."

Shen Zige imitated the gait of a playboy and walked towards the Wuding Merchant Alliance Pawnshop in this city.

In front of the Wuding Business Alliance Pawnshop is a bustling street, now teeming with people and filled with noise and bustle.

Shen Zige followed several people into the pawnshop of Wuding Business Alliance. Several pickpockets tried to sneak over, but he slapped them away.

Although this pawnshop is not as grand and spacious as the pawnshop of the True Artifact Sect in Ninety-Nine Cities, it has many customers and more than thirty receptionists and consultants.

It's not about having a bigger store to attract more customers; it's about location and foot traffic.

"Sir, please inquire on the right, pawn on the left," a receptionist by the door said to Shen Zige.

Shen Zige walked to the left, where there was a typical long counter, as well as appraisers and shop assistants.

"What do you want to pawn?" a shop assistant asked Shen Zige.

"Do you accept pawn tickets and stubs?" Shen Zige asked.

"We accept anything rated C or higher from the pawnshop," the clerk replied habitually, a line he had repeated countless times over the years.

Shen Zige thought to herself that Zhenqi Sect was a top-tier shop, so there was definitely no problem. She took out the pre-prepared receipt for the Zhenyi Earring and placed it on the counter.

"A spirit... a spirit artifact as a pawn ticket!"

This was the first time in years that the guy had seen a pawn ticket for a magical artifact, and he could barely speak properly.

He had never seen a spiritual weapon in his life. Even a low-grade spiritual weapon could be a treasured artifact in a small sect!

No sooner had the waiter finished speaking than five appraisers rushed over. They started fighting over Shen Zige's business, and the scene instantly turned chaotic and disorderly.

"Stop everyone!"

With a shout, all the appraisers who were wrestling stopped.

It turned out to be the shop's chief appraiser, a burly man whose bulging muscles intimidated the fighting crowd.

Wei Wuzi picked up the surcharge ticket on the counter, examined it carefully, and then patted the shop assistant on the shoulder and said, "There is an old ticket from the True Artifact Sect at counter number seven. Go and get it to compare."

The shop assistant immediately grabbed the key, ran over, opened the locked cabinet number seven on the wall, and took out the pawn ticket stored inside, which was also a secondary ticket from the True Artifact Sect.

Although the content is different, Wei Wuzi can carefully analyze and compare the handwriting, and then feel the spiritual frequency of the seal.

“No problem,” Wei Wuzi said. “The surcharge is genuine, but this is a big deal, so I need to send someone to confirm it.”

He sent a clerk to capture the image of the stub with a photographic stone and take it to the Zhenqizong pawnshop for inquiry.

Another waiter brought over a stool and a pot of tea, inviting Shen Zige to sit down and enjoy.

The clerk went directly to the Zhenqi Sect pawnshop in the city to inquire.

“The recording stone does indeed contain a pawn ticket from our True Weapon Sect. I’ve heard about this. A few days ago, someone pawned a spiritual weapon at the Ninety-Nine Sect. This news has already spread. I didn’t expect that he would spend all his spirit stones and not be able to redeem it.”

When the man returned, he repeated what had happened in detail.

“I value this magical earring at 190,000,” Wei Wuzi said to Shen Zige. “But we need 110,000 spirit stones to redeem it, leaving us with 80,000. We’re here to make money, so it’s impossible for us to give you all 80,000. We can only give you 60,000 at most.”

“The price is fair,” Shen Zige said. “Sixty thousand it is, but I require that it be held for me for three days. If I don’t come to pick it up after three days, it will be a dead pawn.”

"No problem, do you want spirit stones or spirit tickets?" asked the imposing chief appraiser, who also served as the manager here.

“Spirit stones and spirit tickets are both fine, but I only want spirit tickets from Star Realm Company or Starry Sky Company.”

This was a prepared statement by Shen Zige.

Ten minutes later, Shen Zige received the spirit ticket and excitedly put it into her storage ring.

This is such a fast way to earn spirit stones!

There's no need to be soft-hearted when facing the Wuding Business Alliance, which wants to kill him!

"Very good, next city, let's go!"
