"This beggar thief is a pro," the young man shook his head. "Seems like he often robs travelers and is quite familiar with the escape routes."

"My spirit stones... Boo hoo hoo," Caicai sobbed, wiping tears.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry. I just went to Tongtian Pavilion and discovered that I could take on missions, so I picked a few. Oncepleted, I’ll have spirit stones," Xiao Jinshengforted Caicai.

If she hadn’t been taking missions,

She definitely wouldn’t have let Caicai’s money be stolen by the beggar.

Twice, no less.

"This stinking beggar, I’ll definitely catch him!" Caicai gritted her teeth in anger. "Then I’ll take all his belongings."

"Come on, he’s a beggar already, how much could he have?" the young man chimed in.

Then, the young man’s curious gazended on Xiao Jinsheng, "Is this your spirit nt?"

"Mm, its name is Caicai," Xiao Jinsheng smiled and nodded.

"Are you a cultivator too?" the young man asked with confusion. "But I don’t sense any cultivation from you."

"I’ve just embarked on the path of cultivation and haven’t even started Qi cultivation yet," Xiao Jinsheng replied.

"Can’t afford a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill?" the young man asked.

"Mm..." Xiao Jinsheng nodded awkwardly.

Especially in Mist Continent, she doesn’t need Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills anyway.

Lou Yan Zhi is preparing to teach her swordsmanship,

But she also needs to cleanse her marrow first; Lou Yan Zhi did mention he’d refine the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill for her.

After all, even in Mist Continent or Interster World, cleansing the marrow doesn’t help Xiao Jinsheng cultivate without spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy from her realm is simply insufficient for cultivation.

"Here, take this," the young man saw the pitiable pair, just like himself who had been robbed.

He handed a bottle of elixir to Xiao Jinsheng, "I just happen to have Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills here; I don’t need them anyway."

"But we don’t know each other, I can’t ept it," Xiao Jinsheng politely refused.

"Just take it; it’s my gift to you." The young man pushed the elixir back towards Xiao Jinsheng, "In the Lou Family, we treat this stuff like candy."

"Lou... Family?" Xiao Jinsheng hesitated and asked.

Caicai was also curiously staring at the young man.

"I am who I am, and I’m Lou Yanjin," the young man proudly lifted his head.

"Then this..." Caicai pulled out Lou Yan Zhi’s wanted poster.

Lou Yanjin nced at it indifferently, "Oh, that’s my brother."

"I see," Xiao Jinsheng smiled, recalling selling information on Lou Yan Zhi and those ten spirit stones she received which were stolen.

Caicai quietly tugged on Xiao Jinsheng’s sleeve, considering the problem of running away.

Then Lou Yanjin asked, "Do you have any clues about him?"

"No... nothing," Caicai shook her head incessantly, "We just received this wanted poster."

"Just heard your surname is Lou and got curious because of the name Lou Yan Zhi," Xiao Jinsheng exined.

"It’s okay; if you have any clues, you can tell me. I’ll give you ten thousand high-grade spirit stones," Lou Yanjin replied.

"I’m the one who issued the wanted order," Lou Yanjin exined.

He looked at Xiao Jinsheng and Caicai; one cried over stolen spirit stones and had nobat ability.

The other, Xiao Jinsheng, hadn’t even cleansed her marrow and just started on the cultivation path.

Neither Xiao Jinsheng nor the big onion represented a threat to him.

Lou Yanjin casually spoke, "He’s my brother, been lost for many years, who knows why he’d beat me up upon return, and robbed me of all my treasures."

"Do you think that’s how a brother should act?"

"I certainly can’t swallow this; even if he’s my brother, it doesn’t matter."

"I must use the wanted poster; make him return my spirit stones."

"Mm-hmm, too much," Caicai nodded in agreement.

It recalled the beggar who stole its spirit stones, "I hate the thief, bandit, beggar who steals from others the most!"

"Me too!" Lou Yanjin looked at Caicai and at that moment smiled, feeling like he’d found a kindred spirit.

But the beggar escaped so swiftly.

When Xiao Jinsheng and the others chased out of the city, the beggar was nowhere to be seen.

Plus, Lou Yanjin was Lou Yan Zhi’s biological brother.

A full sibling.

Xiao Jinsheng also learned that Lou Yan Zhi’s mother married many husbands.

Lou Yan Zhi and Lou Yanjin’s father happened to be the same person.

So to find Lou Yan Zhi, Xiao Jinsheng decided to follow Lou Yanjin.

Here was Demon Beast Mountain, and next door was Sky City.

The mission that Xiao Jinsheng took at Tongtian Pavilion was coincidentally to bepleted in Demon Beast Mountain.

She needed to gather herbs and hunt some demon beasts.

"Foundation Establishment cultivation-level demon beast," hearing the mission level Xiao Jinsheng took, Lou Yanjin was shocked. "You, without even Qi cultivation, dare to hunt Foundation Establishment-level demon beasts?"

"Although my cultivation isn’t high, I think I’m pretty good in battles," Xiao Jinsheng subtly hinted.

"Forget it, don’t lose your life hunting a Foundation Establishment demon beast; the mission reward is only five hundred low-grade spirit stones, it can’t buy even one of my daily sunflower seeds."

"Exaggerating, huh?" Caicai didn’t believe him, "What sunflower seeds cost five hundred low-grade spirit stones apiece?"

"This," Lou Yanjin said as he pulled out a sack from Storage Ring.

He handed each to Xiao Jinsheng and Caicai, "These are immortal-grade sunflower seeds, and one requires one intermediate-grade spirit stone."

"So expensive?" Xiao Jinsheng was shocked.

She’s got so manys.

And so many identities.

Yet had never eaten such expensive sunflower seeds!

"Try it," Lou Yanjin generously invited.

Both Xiao Jinsheng and Caicai were genuinely curious about the taste of these sunflower seeds.

In the end, couldn’t resist trying one.

After finishing one sunflower seed, both Caicai and Xiao Jinsheng’s bodies emitted green light.

Felt like they were floating while walking.

"Why am I green?" Caicai looked down at its hovering feet, "I’m even flying."

"No idea," the young man mockingly smiled, "It’s the flying sunflower seeds; eating one allows you to fly for two hours."

"How else would a single sunflower seed sell for an intermediate-grade spirit stone?"

You should know, in the Cultivation World, spirit stone exchange rates are: a thousand low-grade spirit stones for one intermediate-grade spirit stone, and a thousand intermediate-grade spirit stones for one high-grade spirit stone.

"The only side effect is that eating sunflower seeds makes you glow in green," Lou Yanjin added unhappily.

But he needed to eat sunflower seeds due to an ailment.

Seeing that Xiao Jinsheng and Caicai seemed to get along well with him, he decided to tag along with Xiao Jinsheng on the mission.

As it grew darker, the green glow on the pair intensified after consuming sunflower seeds.

Xiao Jinsheng searched throughout Demon Beast Mountain but couldn’t find the demon beast required for her mission.

Coupled with the unknown dangers risen at night in this unfamiliar setting,

Xiao Jinsheng found a spot to camp.

She arranged for night shifts, with the pair and the big onion alternating.

Yet Lou Yanjin took out a treasure box, boasting, "Why keep watch? I have a camping array right here."

"Once activated, even a Divinity Transformation cultivator can’t break it, allowing us to rest safely."

After speaking, Lou Yanjin activated the treasure box array and went into his tent to sleep soundly.

"Is this reliable?" Xiao Jinsheng doubted, asking Caicai.

Caicai thought for a moment, nodding, "Probably trustworthy; he sure has a lot of treasures."

Listening to the snores from Lou Yanjin’s tent, Caicai expressed, "Does he really trust us this much?"

Bragging about his wealth in front of Xiao Jinsheng and Caicai without any defenses.

He truly wasn’t afraid that they would rob him.

"Since his treasure box is this powerful, I’ll go back to my realm to sleep as well," Xiao Jinsheng said and returned to her tent first, then to her realm.

But she didn’t relypletely on the treasure box array and also let the star system map keep watch outside, ready to alert her at any time.

With uninterrupted rest, Xiao Jinsheng got up early the following morning and noticed that Lou Yanjin in the next tent hadn’t woken up.

Yet the snoring asionally continued.

Until Xiao Jinsheng finished breakfast, Lou Yanjin finally opened his eyes bleary.

He was astonished to find the soft bed heid outst night had turned into a poking grassy ground while the tent inside was barren, instantly awakened: "Who’s the sick one that stole my family’s belongings—"
