I Am the Source of Darkness, Causing Chaos in the Eternal Heavens

Chapter 40 No Different From Possession, The Method of Sifting Gold from Sand (1)

“Fine, with these spirit stones, I’ll just go buy what I need in Nanque Sacred City.”

“In such a big city, I’ll surely find something suitable for me.”

Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Hongdou and didn’t say anything more.

With a flick of his wrist, he stored a pile of glowing spirit stones into his Xumi Ring.

These past few days had been peaceful, which reassured him greatly.

Additionally, the first seal within his body had loosened significantly, allowing him to utilize the Reincarnation Mark to exert great strength, far beyond the surface-level Body Realm cultivation.

This gave Xiao Yan considerable confidence.

With his past experience, these so-called magical artifacts were really just average items.

Unfortunately, telling the truth made Xiao Hongdou think he had overly high standards, but there was nothing he could do about that.

Afterward, Xiao Yan decided not to be as cautious as before. He planned to use these spirit stones to purchase some materials to enhance his strength.

“You…”

Xiao Hongdou didn’t expect Xiao Yan to take the spirit stones and leave so directly. Her gaze became cold and distant.

These spirit stones were given because of Young Master Jiang, yet Xiao Yan, who had slandered Jiang behind his back, was now using them so casually.

She never thought Xiao Yan would become like this one day.

“Why is Xiao Hongdou so upset?”

“If it’s because of your brother, don’t be too sad. He’s awakened his past life’s memories, so naturally, he’s not the same person you once knew.”

At this moment, Qingxu Zi, who was drinking and walking over, saw this scene and smiled, then consoled her, as if he had anticipated this.

“Then, Master… Is Xiao Yan still my brother?”

Hearing this, Xiao Hongdou’s expression turned sorrowful, unable to accept it.

After all, she had raised Xiao Yan from a young age, and with her kind nature, it was hard for her to let go.

“That’s for you to decide…”

“I don’t know what to advise you. Past life’s memories have a profound impact. He might have known you for a few years, but who knows how long he lived in his past life?”

Qingxu Zi shook his head and sighed, helpless.

After all, this wasn’t possession. Although Xiao Yan’s behavior had changed significantly, he was still his disciple and Xiao Hongdou’s brother.

Xiao Yan hadn’t done anything heinous, so it hadn’t reached an intolerable point.

“It’s actually no different from possession…”

Xiao Hongdou understood her master’s meaning, her expression melancholic.

“Master, that guy has left the stone gambling shop.”

In a grand building near the main street, by the window,

Jiang Minghan sat there, the aroma of tea wafting around him. He gently lifted a tea cup, blowing on it lightly, looking relaxed and at ease.

In front of him stood a stunning beauty, her appearance enchanting, dressed in a black dress, her white skin even more striking against the dark fabric. She was Yan Yuchu.

“Have the arrangements been made?”

Jiang Minghan took a sip of tea, nodded slightly, and asked.

Yan Yuchu answered respectfully, “The arrangements are made. Xiaoling is the most outstanding Tianjiao of the White Fox Clan, with exceptional talent. There’s no way it can go wrong.”

Jiang Minghan nodded, his gaze calm, looking down at the street below.

“In that case, I’ll wait to see a good show,” he chuckled.

At this moment, a transmission jade slip in his storage space suddenly vibrated.

With a flick of his hand, the jade slip appeared from the storage space.

“Hmm? Su Mingyue sent me a message at this time?”

Jiang Minghan raised an eyebrow, reading the content, then shook his head slightly and crushed the jade slip into dust.

He didn’t need to think much to know it was Jiang Mingxian causing trouble for Su Mingyue.

Only Jiang Mingxian in the Jiang family would dare do such a thing.

Just out from the Bronze Immortal Hall, she was eager to make her presence known.

But Jiang Minghan couldn’t be bothered with this.

As a destiny’s favored one, if Su Mingyue couldn’t handle such a minor issue, he would have overestimated her.

As long as it didn’t affect his binding effect, he didn’t care how Jiang Mingxian dealt with Su Mingyue or how much trouble she caused.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan left the stone gambling shop of Qingxu Holy Land and headed directly to the inner city of Nanque Sacred City.

Nanque Sacred City had a history of a million years and was an ancient city.

It covered a vast area, with palatial buildings everywhere, divided into inner and outer cities.

The inner city was even more magnificent, with silver waterfalls, clouds and mist, islands, and even some divine mountains hidden within, shrouded in clouds.

Almost all major forces and sects had territories here.

They operated stone gambling shops, weapon shops, spiritual medicine shops, auction houses, immortal clothing pavilions, entertainment places… everything imaginable.

The streets were lined with markets and stalls, with many cultivators and beings coming and going. With luck, one might find some good items.

Xiao Yan headed towards the inner city, planning to pick suitable magical artifacts.

Besides that, he planned to buy materials for formations and restrictions.

“Look here, look here, freshly unearthed fragments of a Saint Realm artifact, still with some spirituality…”

“Insights from a True God Realm cultivator on building a divine platform…”

“Brushes and ink used by a Saint Realm being…”

The streets were filled with hawking cultivators and beings of various races, some even having ancient bloodlines, with wings and silver bodies, and a vertical eye between their brows.

Soon, Xiao Yan arrived at the most bustling and mixed market area, filled with rogue cultivators.

This place was rarely patrolled by the city guards of Nanque Sacred City.

Because some of the old men selling miscellaneous items might be hidden old monsters.

Xiao Yan looked at the magical artifacts, jade slips, and some extremely broken ancient items on the stalls, his eyes flashing with divine light.

“With some luck, I might find some good stuff…”

He murmured, scanning the many stalls.

Due to his nine lifetimes of reincarnation, Xiao Yan was proficient in many esoteric skills.

He had once transformed into a coin, following a dragon-seeking immortal master, and had a keen sense of various broken weapons and ancient items.

Even in the sand, he could find gold.

In these markets filled with miscellaneous items, the chance of finding good stuff was quite high.
