While surveying a stall, Ye Haochuan intervened when a group of thugs attempted to extort the elderly vendor. The thugs, led by a portly man, mocked the vendor's wares. Ye Haochuan stepped in to buy the items, provoking the fat man, who attacked. Ye Haochuan easily blocked the attack, impressing the thugs and prompting the vendor to name his price for the fragmented items: one thousand red crystals.

"I’ll bid ten thousand red crystals!" Ye Haochuan raised the price tenfold without batting an eye.

"What? Is this guy crazy? Spending ten thousand red crystals to buy some junk?"

"Clearly, you’re naive. This guy obviously wants to back up that elder; it has nothing to do with those scraps."

"Ten thousand red crystals, huh? Enough for us to cultivate to Nascent Soul, right? It’s simply too wasteful!"

In the eyes of others, Ye Haochuan had completely become a fool.

To these low-level cultivators, red crystals are an extremely precious currency, considering one red crystal alone is worth a thousand superior spirit crystals.

A few keen-minded individuals had already started paying attention to Ye Haochuan.

Anyone who can casually hand out ten thousand red crystals is surely hiding more red crystals. If they could successfully ambush this one, it could set them up for life.

Ye Haochuan was unperturbed by these thoughts; he even considered ten thousand red crystals to be too low, given that the item was truly unique.

As he spoke, Ye Haochuan had already produced a storage ring containing ten thousand red crystals, handing it to the elder.

The elder hadn’t yet reacted; upon glimpsing the ring filled with red crystals, his eyes looked as though they might pop out.

He initially intended to sell for a thousand red crystals to buy some medicine for his wife, but unexpectedly, the counterpart offered ten thousand.

"These... these things aren’t worth so much..." The elder’s throat went dry, and his voice trembled.

"Your items are worth far more than that!" Ye Haochuan said with a smile, "You can keep the red crystals. I also have two pills: one for healing your injuries, the other for your wife. If you trust me, take them; if you don’t, treat them as mud balls and toss them away!"

Having said that, Ye Haochuan handed over a white medicine bottle.

The elder instinctively opened the bottle, and instantly, a rich fragrance emerged, revitalizing those who smelled it, as though hidden ailments vanished.

The two Nine-Bend Continuation Pills inside the bottle, though only mortal grade, were mysterious pills and could be considered celestial medicine to those who hadn’t undergone immortal transformation.

"Living Bodhisattva, living Bodhisattva indeed! The old man thanks the Bodhisattva for his blessing!" The elder couldn’t suppress his excitement, bowing at Ye Haochuan’s feet, and shouted.

Ye Haochuan dared not receive such a substantial gift, using spiritual energy to help the elder up.

The old man expressed gratitude in abundance before finally consuming the pill.

After swallowing the pill, the old man’s demeanor instantly transformed; his previously sickly appearance vanished, replaced by an expression full of vitality.

His cultivation, repressed by severe illness, erupted in an instant, and those around realized he was actually a cultivator at the Core Formation Stage.

The group of thugs led by the fat man became aware that Ye Haochuan wasn’t someone they could contend with, quickly trying to slip away.

"Come back!" Ye Haochuan ordered coldly, without turning his head, and those men felt his overpowering aura, trembling, unable to take another step.

"What else do you want from us?" The fat man, evidently composed, maintained an unaffected tone.

"If I recall correctly, someone said if the old man’s things sold for ten red crystals, you’d bow ten times. Now they’ve sold for ten thousand red crystals; where’s your kowtow? Did your family’s dog eat it?"

Upon hearing this, the fat man’s face darkened, saying in a low voice, "We’re from the Kris family; are you sure you want to do this?"

Another Kris family? Are Kris families numerous in this world?

Ye Haochuan pondered but didn’t dwell on it, coldly responding, "What family you belong to doesn’t interest me, but if you don’t make good on your promise, I might be interested in figuring out how to kill you!"

With those words, the air grew thick with killing intent.

The fat man broke out in a cold sweat, face pale.

A wise man doesn’t argue when outnumbered; wait for me! Driven by revenge-fueled determination, the fat man eventually knelt and gave the elder ten resounding bows.

The fat man was about to rise when Ye Haochuan’s icy voice reached his ears.

"For ten red crystals, ten bows, and for ten thousand red crystals, there should be ten thousand bows. Even if you halve it, there must be five thousand, right?"

Upon hearing this, the fat man turned pale, almost fainting.

Seriously, ten thousand bows; can a person still live?

The elder, equally astonished, hastily said, "No need to bow, no need to bow!"

Ye Haochuan said nothing, merely shot a cold look at the fat man.

The fat man trembled, not daring to utter another word, desperate to bow his head repeatedly.

"Living Bodhisattva, I... I truly don’t know how to repay your kindness!" The elder said, teary-eyed and choking.

"We’re fair business partners; neither of us owes the other. Hurry home; your wife is waiting for the medicine!" Ye Haochuan said kindly.

The elder expressed gratitude for quite some time before finally leaving, concerned for his wife.

Ye Haochuan wasn’t particularly interested in watching the fat man bow; he pocketed the items he just bought and resumed leisurely browsing.

Having made this valuable acquisition, Ye Haochuan took a real interest in the market. Perhaps, he thought, he might find unexpected treasures here.

The people around who had seen Ye Haochuan splurge immediately approached him with their goods, hoping to gain his favor and strike it rich overnight.

"Boss, that guy left; you should get up!"

Seeing Ye Haochuan leave, the fat man’s men helped him up right away.

The fat man’s forehead was swollen and red; as Ye Haochuan indeed departed, his pained and aggrieved expression instantly turned venomous.

"Inform the family head that someone’s causing trouble on our turf! Daring to mock me like this, I will make him suffer!" The fat man vowed angrily.

Meanwhile, Ye Haochuan was looking around hopefully.

Unfortunately, a low-level market is ultimately just that; how could it be filled with treasures everywhere?

Ye Haochuan wandered extensively but didn’t find anything valuable, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Realizing that finding something desired in such a place was extremely fortunate, he dismissed further greedy thoughts.

Once he understood this, Ye Haochuan planned to leave, seeking a place to settle down.

But at that moment, a dark mass of people suddenly flew from afar, surrounding him completely.
