"Saying that, do you want to die, kids!?"

"Tch! If you think you can, just give it a try!" the young man immediately retorted, confidently holding the weapon in his hand.

The others, too, were not afraid of that middle-aged man at all. They were already eager to test their abilities. This would be their chance to test their skills after all these days of rigorous training.

Thump!!!

"Young Master, won't you stop them?" Bao-Jin, who followed Zheng-Fu to the table that Zheng-Fu had chosen, asked with concern.

"Stop them? Why should I stop them? By the way, they've got the right to make their own decisions. If they choose to fight, then they have to accept what will happen after that," Zheng-Fu answered as he poured the tea from the teapot into the cup and then sniffed softly without saying anything further.

"You cool, man? So cool, right? Want some?!!"

"You want some, so get some, man!!!"

"If you're going to hit each other, just hurriedly take action... Don't have just a saliva war!"

The cheers erupted as quarrels were common here, so when this happened, everyone did not feel scared but instead enjoyed it. Besides, the tavern owner and all the waiters were all the Nascent Soul stage skilled martial artists.

It was just that no one knew this fact and did not notice anything. Only a handful of people knew, and they were those who had tried to test the boss's skills because they thought this tavern was just an ordinary one. But even so, it still existed to this day. And within this tavern, there were no rules for fighting, just that those who fought had to pay for the things that were destroyed.

"May I ask what kind of food Young Master would like to order, sir?

We have fried three-legged rabbit meat, grilled two-headed cow's tongues, stir-fried white radish with monstrous honey, dog-like monstrous chicken's feet spicy soup, braised macerated crocodile meat stew, and the best dish in our restaurant is the frantic monster bull's tail soup, which is on the half-step of the high-level Golden Core Stage that is about to enter the Nascent Soul Stage, sir.

What would Master like to order…"

"Bring it all. And bring the best liquor of here too," Zheng-Fu was too lazy to think about it, so he ordered all of them, along with the best-tasting liquor.

"Yes, sir, Young Master. Wait a moment, please. I'll go get it for you," said the waiter, humbly clasping his hands before slowly disappearing as if he did not exist.

"Where has the waiter gone? I'm going to order some dessert!?" Bao-Bao said as she was about to order more desserts but could not see the waiter anymore.

"He must have gone to greet another table, Sister. Wait for him to bring the food to serve. Then you can order again. But Young Master, you ordered a lot like that…"

Flap!!!

"Don't worry about money; I'll pay for them myself. Now you should pay more attention to those. Looks like they've already found some solid stuff," Zheng-Fu immediately cut off Bao-Jin before pointing at the young men who wanted to test their skills and were facing a stronger martial artist.

"Sigh… these guys are really diligent in causing issues," after saying this, Bao-Jin stood up before going to join his group to fight that skilled martial artist.

Ten minutes had passed...

"The food is ready to serve, sir. I'm sorry to keep you waiting," suddenly, the same waiter's voice rang out with an unbelievable number of plates he was carrying before quickly placing them on Zheng-Fu's table. But to Zheng-Fu, the waiter's action was still very slow.

"Thank you very much, man. Here you are!" Before the waiter walked away, Zheng-Fu threw some things at him before continuing, saying, "You have been at the bottleneck for a long time. I think this would help you break through to the next level." After finishing speaking, Zheng-Fu smiled at him before turning to look at Bao-Bao, who was staring at the food on the table with her saliva drooling.

As for the waiter, after receiving the items from Zheng-Fu, he immediately looked down before his body froze in shock.

And with Zheng-Fu's words, which, as if looking through him so clearly, almost caused the spirit to leave his body in disbelief.

"Thank you, sir. If Young Master needs anything, please let me know anytime." After saying that, the waiter's figure disappeared again with a happy face.

"Ca... can... can I eat it yet?"

Suddenly, Bao-Bao's voice rang out as saliva flowed out of her mouth like a starving person who had not eaten for a long time. It was at the same time that Bao-Jin and all the junior brothers had returned.

"You guys should eat now. If you're not full, you can order as much as you want. I'll treat you guys," Zheng-Fu called everyone to eat when they returned and signaled the girl to eat.

"Then I'll dig in now!!!"

Blop!!!

Nom!!! Nom!!! Nom!!!

Slurp!!!!!

Aaaaah!!!

The sounds of biting, sipping, and chewing continued as the young men and a young woman began to eat the food on their tables. Everyone seemed very happy with this meal because every day, besides roast beef, there were only vegetables and herbs. They never had soup and spicy soup or stew like this. So, this meal was a wonderful meal for everyone except Zheng-Fu.

He just sat and watched and drank nothing but liquor.

"Young Master, Nom!!! Do you not eat, sir!? Nom!!!"

"You guys eat to the fullest. I'm not hungry. If I'm hungry, I'll order it myself. Now you guys eat first, and I'm going to run some errands outside. Regarding the money, I'll pay it myself," After saying that, Zheng-Fu immediately walked away without waiting for everyone to answer or say anything.

Zheng-Fu's actions were already familiar to everyone, so no one thought to ask him anything. Although they asked, they did not get an answer anyway. It was better to eat food in front of them. As for Zheng-Fu, he headed to the counter to pay for the food and room before leaving.

The place that Zheng-Fu would go to was the Purple Dragon Auction House. He went there to bring the letter to the elder's granddaughter and look for some items. Besides, he did not have much to do, so Zheng-Fu took this time to relax.

At the main market outside the city...

This market was not far from the Purple Dragon Auction House. It was exactly the way Zheng-Fu passed, so he stopped for a bit to buy things in case there was some good stuff. But many shops he passed by did not have anything interesting at all.

Whether they were weapons, armour, medicine, or anything else, they were all of low quality. Even the cultivators were extremely low-level. But he understood that this was just an outer region of the capital. Or it could be said that it was a rural area just being in the capital.

"Hey! Will you pay or not? If you don't pay, then pick up your shop and get out of this market!"

"Oh, Master, I haven't been able to sell anything today. Can you please relent?"

"Relent...!!? Go to ask for leniency from your ancestors!!!"

Bang!!! Thump!!!

Augh!!!

Suddenly, as Zheng-Fu was walking to look at some items, someone knocked over and hit him hard. But with his strength, Zheng-Fu felt nothing and caught that body up. The person who bumped into him was an old man. His body was very thin. He seemed malnourished, so he had this condition. And when the old man settled, he quickly turned to look at Zheng-Fu before bowing in apology.

"Sorry, sir, I really didn't mean to do this. I'm sorry," said the old man, along with rocking up and down seriously.

"It's alright, Grandpa. Anyway, what happened?" Zheng-Fu asked with a kind smile at the old man.

"Well..."

"Well, old man? Pay or not!?" But just as the old man was about to reply to Zheng-Fu, the same voice shouting at the old man just now rang out again, along with dozens of muscle-bodied male figures who came through the crowd, standing with ruthless faces.

"Master, please. As I already told you, I don't have any money yet. May I ask for leniency, please? Let me sell my stuff first. I will immediately bring the money to pay."

"Hey! Didn't you hear…? I say no, that means no! If there's no money, there's no right to sell. Everyone else here has already paid. And most importantly, there are a lot of people waiting to sell their stuff here!" a big man who seemed to be the leader of the group said, pointing his finger around the market indifferently, as if everyone here was not important.

"How much do you owe, Grandpa?" Zheng-Fu interjected immediately after the big man finished speaking, and he smiled at the old man.

Huh...?

"Kid, who are you? Want to be a good person who helps others? Well... That old bastard has owed his rent for several days now. A total of five thousand monster crystal coins. So what would you do?

Willing to pay for him, aren't you?" said the man with an evil smile on his lips.

"No, it's not that much. I only owe you a few hundred coins, not even…"

"I said five thousand, it must be five thousand. If you don't believe me, ask the people around here. Everyone knows it, right? Besides, you've been in debt for several days, so it has to have some interest. And that includes the cost of reopening the shop again, totaling five thousand monster crystal coins. Ha ha ha!!!" the man cheekily explained, ignorant of what anyone said.

"It's really a pity for that old man... that child too. Five thousand monster crystal coins is not a small amount. Although it's not very valuable to the central zones, it's very valuable to the people of the outside zones."

"Yes, that's a pity. But looking at the dress of that child, he might be a young man from a wealthy family."

"How is it, kid? If you don't pay, then go away. Don't mess with people; they will earn their living honestly, simply, and easily!!"

"Young Master, don't waste your time on an old man like me. Also, my stuff is rarely sold. If I continue to sell, I probably won't get anything. I admitted this a long time ago," said the old man, hurtful and saddened that the items he had brought for sale could not be sold.

"So, what are the items that Grandpa sells?" Zheng-Fu continued to smile and asked the old man back.

Huh...?

"The items I sell are old things that have been passed down within the family," replied the old man, pointing to his stall, where there were a lot of things that looked more like piles of trash.

'Huh... These antiques look interesting. I can even sense some mysterious energy from some of them. Some of them are probably useful items. Since I have nothing to do, I guess I'll have to help this grandpa,' Zheng-Fu thought to himself, a mischievous smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
