"Mr. Xiao, come to me if you need anything."

A good number of Mutated Beings outside the Beast Race greeted Xiao Mu.

Mei Xian's enthusiasm was almost uncontrollable. Upon laying eyes on Xiao Mu, she extended her small, whitish hand, constantly waving at him, as if afraid that he might not see her.

"Ahem!"

Embarrassed, Xiao Mu coughed, "I'm just fine here."

The overwhelming amicability from Mei Xian, a tree, often left him defenseless. Yet, were she a different being, he might not mind a bit of something happening between them.

After a moment's hesitation, he walked directly towards Zhu Zhu.

This eight-armed spiderwoman gave him a sense of security and certainly wouldn't attempt to consume him in a single gulp like Mei Xian.

"I want to ask, how might one acquire ancient relics that are more than three hundred years old? Preferably, Taoist Magical Implements, and those without mutations."

"Mr. Xiao, I have some tasks through which one can obtain Magical Implements. Come to me and accept the tasks."

Mei Xian focused her attention on Xiao Mu's conversation the whole time, unfolding her tiny hand, and waving non-stop in case Xiao Mu might miss it. She let out a discarming smile.

Zhu Zhu helplessly shrugged at Xiao Mu.

Before she could respond to him, Mei Xian had jumped in with a more detailed response than what Xiao had initially asked.

"Uh, I don't need Magical Implements."

Xiao Mu didn't go to Mei Xian.

Compared to directly obtained Magical Implements, he would rather mutate his own using Energy Points.

Magical Implements mutated in this way were more in line with his preferences and would have greater power.

"I also know how to get ancient relics."

Mei Xian's enthusiasm didn't fade, neither did her smile.

Reluctantly, Xiao Mu walked towards Mei Xian, "How can I get them?"

"Mr. Xiao, please have a seat, are you afraid that I'll eat you?"

With a flirtaious glance, Mei Xian warmly invited Xiao Mu to sit down. As soon as he settled, she slowly spoke:

"Mr. Xiao, unmutated ancient relics seldom come out into the open, so obtaining them is even more difficult than obtaining Magical Implements. I'm puzzled as to why you would rather do so, getting a Magical Implement would indeed be much easier, wouldn't it?"

Xiao Mu replied, "I would prefer to have unmutated ancient relics."

"Since Mr. Xiao is set on these unmutated ancient relics, I'll have to help."

Mei Xian's radiant eyes twinkled at Xiao Mu, "Mr. Xiao, the information about unmutated ancient relics was not easy for me to obtain. What will you offer as a return for providing you this information?"

"Ahem!"

Xiao Mu had a hard time handling Mei Xian's enthusiasm. He took out two energy fruits and placed them on the table in front of Mei Xian.

Mei Xian glanced at the energy fruits with her sparkling eyes, and coquettishly said, "Two energy fruits can't cover the cost of my information."

Her eyes fixated on Xiao Mu, her intense passion seeping through her, "Mei Xian has always wanted to find a companion, I wonder if Mr. Xiao would consider sparing a thought for me?"

Damn it!

Xiao Mu was shocked by her words; she was so straightforward, not concealing her inner thoughts at all.

"Ahem, I already have a companion, I'm afraid I can only disappoint Miss Mei Xian's kind intentions."

Xiao Mu gently refused and took out three more energy fruits, making it a total of five, and pushed them toward Mei Xian.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

The smile on Mei Xian's face instantly disappeared. In a blink of an eye, she seemed to change into a completely different person, becoming icy cold.

She very seriously collected the five energy fruits and coldly said, "Mr. Xiao, you should go to the central garden in area three. There is a Divine Ghost Pavilion there, with Mutated Beings often trading. You will surely find what you are looking for there."

After finishing, she ignored Xiao Mu, lowered her head, and looked at her computer as though he were a stranger.

The swift transformation of this woman left Xiao Mu feeling oddly unable to adjust. He was stupefied on the spot.

After a moment, Xiao Mu snapped back to reality, and thanked her.

"Does Mr. Xiao have other concerns?"

Mei Xian coldly gazed at Xiao Mu.

"I have some items I'd like to consign to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall for sale."

Xiao Mu was somewhat bewildered and stated his intentions.

In fact, he was still astounded by the change in Mei Xian's attitude.

It happened so suddenly that he felt overwhelmed and unable to cope.

"The consignment fee is five percent, please take out the items."

Mei Xian's attitude remained cold.

In his bewilderment, Xiao Mu took out the Treasure Fragments and Secret Manual that he had obtained from killing the Evil Absurdity and put them on the table in front of Mei Xian.

Mei Xian carefully counted and registered them; afterwards, she handed a pen to Xiao Mu for him to sign.

From start to finish, she didn't recover her previous enthusiasm.

In his bewilderment, Xiao Mu signed his name.

Mei Xian bowed her head again, busy and unresponsive to Xiao Mu's conversation.

Xiao Mu felt awkward and turned to leave.

"Ha..."

The Stone Man, who was not far from Mei Xian, sneered secretly at Xiao Mu, looking peculiarly surprised to see Xiao Mu humbled in front of Mei Xian, but quickly covered his mouth for fear that Xiao Mu would notice.

"Cough, cough!"

Xiao Mu was indeed a little embarrassed, but he noticed the Stone Man's mockery and glared back at him. The Stone Man's immediate expression of remorse seemed to fear that Xiao Mu would retaliate.

He left the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall and returned to his dwelling.

"Mr. Xiao is back!"

Wang Ruo Luan and Zhou Ying rushed over, one on each arm. Ever since that night, both women felt much closer to Xiao Mu, already considering themselves as his women.

The two women seated him on the sofa in the hall and took turns massaging his back and shoulders, attending him dutifully.

Xiao Mu was content, the gesture giving him a sense of home.

He pulled out two Secret Manuals and ten Energy Fruits to share with the two women.

The Secret Manuals were the martial arts scripture "Shocking Thunder Technique" and the Buddhism scripture "True Word Incantation", perfect for Wang Ruo Luan and Zhou Ying respectively.

"Mr. Xiao, is this… for us?"

The women couldn't believe their eyes; they were extremely surprised.

Xiao Mu had not only given them each an A-quality Secret Manual, but also five Energy Fruits each.

This master was truly generous.

"Your strength is too low, take this chance to level up."

When dealing with his women, Xiao Mu was never stingy.

Overwhelmed with joy, Wang Ruo Luan and Zhou Ying cried and hugged Xiao Mu. That night they served him even more tenderly.

The next day, after Xiao Mu woke up, he first went to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to collect the sales proceeds from his commissioned resources- a total of twenty-two Energy Fruits.

Mei Xian still had the same aloof attitude towards him, which baffled Xiao Mu.

Leaving the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, he headed towards the Divine Ghost Pavilion in District Three.

The Divine Ghost Pavilion was substantial, covering at least a few thousand square meters, similar to the size of a factory workshop.

There were plenty of Mutated Beings making transactions here, not only those in the early, middle, and late stages of the Fourth Realm, but also those at the peak.

However, there were no Mutated Beings from the Fifth Realm.

As per Xiao Mu's guess, Mutated Beings of that level must have their own specific trading places, and wouldn't casually come to the Divine Ghost Pavilion.

The Divine Ghost Pavilion was meant purely for Mutated Beings of the Fourth Realm.

Many people displayed their goods in front of them, specifying what they wanted in return. As long as the other party had what they needed, a trade could be made promptly, which was pretty convenient.

At a glance, Xiao Mu noticed Secret Manuals, Magical Implements, Divine Weapons, Energy Fruits, Mutated Fruits, and so on.

However, he didn't spot a Breaking Realm Pill.

It seems that in the Fourth Realm, the Breaking Realm Pill was the most desirable hard currency, with demand greatly exceeding supply.

Finally, Xiao Mu stopped in front of a stall.

The stall was managed by a bald man in a Kasaya, presumably a monk. But it was not clear what creature he was before Attaining Dao.

In front of the monk's stall was a jade gourd with at least four to five hundred years of antiquity.

This jade gourd was faintly glowing with Spiritual Light. It seemed to be on the verge of mutation, upon which it would become a unique magic treasure with gathering power.

"What for the trade?"

Xiao Mu stopped to inquire.

"Twenty Energy Fruits or one primary Magical Implement."

Xiao Mu frowned at the exorbitant price.

After all, the jade gourd had not fully mutated, and willing buyers were definitely few.

"Ten."

Xiao Mu haggled, cutting the price in half directly.

To him, a jade gourd that had not fully mutated was worth at most this much.

"Keep walking, not going any lower!"

The monk's attitude wasn't very friendly.

As Xiao Mu hesitated, contemplating if he should negotiate the price further, he heard a commotion from the crowd ahead.

"Ha, ha!"

An elephant trunk Mutated Being emerged from the crowd, his tone full of mockery, "An unmutated Antique Door-God Painting for twenty Energy Fruits? I don't believe anyone would buy that."

What? An Antique Door-God Painting?

Xiao Mu was stunned.
