The King of Black Fog

Chapter 537: Claiming the Murder and Treasure Snatching Mission (Part 2)


"Ah?"

Because of this 'Ah?', Xian'er received a punishment—a splash of water.

Upon reaching the lake bay, no enforcing disciples questioned them, but the wanted notice was still in place.

Walking on the road, the three heard a piece of news.

"Not long ago, at the Jiyue Sect's male pavilion, they tried to transform into the shadow man's appearance to welcome female cultivators. Guess what... they're all dead!"

"Dead?"

"Yes, when they turned into the shadow man, their heads were twisted off by the Nameless Power. Even cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage couldn't survive."

"Did someone take action?"

"Apparently," the person lowered their voice, "the shadow man's cultivation was too high; his appearance can't be easily transformed."

"What kind of cultivation can have such divine skills!" Everyone was amazed.

Xian'er couldn't help but be curious too.

"Master God, at what realm can one have such capabilities?"

Jiang Xiaoyue and Xu Ni perked up their ears.

[It depends on the changer's cultivation. For mortals like those in the Qi Refinement Realm or Foundation Establishment Stage, immortals can do it.]

Immortals have already formed a union with the heavens and earth; a turn of mana can change the colors of the world around them.

But to achieve the 'unique' effect completely, one must become a Heavenly Position.

As long as a Heavenly Position is alive, not just transformations—even newly born infants will be corrected by the rules of the heavens and earth to avoid resembling a Heavenly Position.

Unless they are direct descendants or closely related offspring in blood.

Yang Tianlu resembles Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan quite a bit.

Apart from cultivation, Li Changzhou also knows of a situation where others cannot change their appearance—a special constitution, especially one strong enough to be recognized or not recognized by the heavens and earth.

This level of constitution is equivalent to being registered with the will of the heavens and earth, including their physical traits. Others trying to change into these people's appearance violate heavenly regulations.

The Primordial Divine Body is undoubtedly among them.

Still, it is the constitution most disliked by the heavens and earth.

Therefore, those who attempted to change into Li Changzhou's appearance had their heads twisted off by the Nameless Power.

"Immortals?" Xu Ni was puzzled.

"What realm is an immortal?" Jiang Xiaoyue asked.

"Compared to a god, which is mightier?" Xian'er now highly acknowledges her 'god' identity.

[Forget the word immortal; it doesn't belong to the cognition of this world and will only harm you]

Li Changzhou stopped speaking, spreading his Divine Sense.

In the market of the three sisters, he buried his head in organizing his gains on the Heavenly Road, comprehending the insights of temporarily ascending to the Heavenly Position;

At Lake Sound Square, he remained vigilant against the appearance of players.

The news of the King of Black Fog at Moon Lake must have already spread; whether it's Yang Qinglan's group or these enemies from the princess's faction, they'll all react.

Inside Lake Sound Square, combat is forbidden—of course, this is ineffectual against players; safety is assured, and the three split up to take action.

Xu Ni went to sell fish, earning 1000 spirit stones.

200 stones were short.

Firstly, the storage bag wasn't full;

Secondly, they were putting out a large quantity, so the market was somewhat saturated.

Each person gets a tenth, 100 spirit stones; the marketplace takes 700 stones.

Jiang Xiaoyue set up a stall to sell elixir pills, earning forty-three spirit stones.

According to the contract, she gets two-tenths, 8 spirit stones and 6 spirit crystals; the marketplace takes 34 spirit stones and 4 spirit crystals.

Xian'er went to sell talismans, various mid-level talismans, too wary to sell high-level ones, earning a total of 1000 spirit stones.

She takes 50%, 500 spirit stones; the marketplace takes 500 stones.

Finally, the total—

Marketplace: 1124 spirit stones and 4 spirit crystals (earnings of 1234.4 spirit stones, deducting Xu Ni's trade runs 10 stones, Xian'er's Thunder Sound Talisman 100 stones)

Xian'er: 700 spirit stones.

Xian'er touched the storage bag.

Thinking that there were 700 spirit stones inside, she said, "Feels like the storage bag got heavier!"

"Illusion," Xu Ni, who only took 110 spirit stones, immediately refuted, "The storage bag filled with scaled carp isn't heavy."

"It might be an illusion." Jiang Xiaoyue, who only took 108 spirit stones and 6 spirit crystals.

But her future is worth looking forward to; the Qi Gathering Pill is nearly complete, next time it won't stop here.

They still needed to buy cultivation supplies, but it was already noon, so first, they went to eat.

The three knew how to enjoy themselves, earning money and then going to a restaurant, choosing a lakeside private room for a view, dining on spirit rice, spirit vegetables, demon beast meat, and a pot of spirit fruit wine.

Eating these foods must be in a private room.

After dining, they had to refine spiritual energy; once the dishes were served, the formation was locked, and outsiders couldn't enter unless the guests opened it themselves.

A meal cost 25 spirit stones, charged to the marketplace.

The three felt like they were making a significant profit, as if spending someone else's money.

"Let's hold off on selling scaled carp," Xu Ni said while eating, "Next time I'll disguise myself as someone else, set up a stall to sell elixirs, talismans, some other spirit fish, earn a little and maintain our cultivation."

"Yeah, yeah." Xian'er buried her head in eating.

The maids ate at a table with eight people, four dishes, and eating all depended on snatching.

When she grew a bit older, because of her beauty, she was valued by the young mistress and finally got to eat her fill.

It was time to bring out the skills learned in childhood; it could be said she swept all directions, swept through thousands, swept through ages, unbeatable at the table.

Last time Xu Ni still competed with her, but not this time.

"Country bumpkin!" She displayed a look of disdain, leisurely poured herself a glass of fruit wine, and gazed outside at Moon Lake, feigning elegance.

Xu Ni was someone aiming to traverse the upper echelons; she had over 100 spirit stones in her pocket!

Moreover... couldn't compete back-wise; if one could, who wouldn't try?

Even a horse, though it has the capacity to travel a thousand miles, if not fed sufficiently, will lack strength, and its talents won't be visible externally. Even those considered a thousand miles horse might consume a stone worth of grain in one meal; ordinary people live on grains for sustenance, but cultivators need to consume spirit rice, spirit vegetables, and demon beast meat for cultivation, and those with beauty need to eat something too.

When it came to snatching food, she was no match for beauty.

Having finished eating, and refining the spiritual energy, Xian'er felt satisfied.

This meal's spiritual energy matched up to her three or four days' cultivation.

"It'd be great if we could eat like this every day." Xian'er rubbed her belly.
