Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

Moreover, given the situation on the Dou Qi Continent, generally speaking, without abundant divine power, it simply cannot continue to grow and will remain a seed forever.

"Guest, let me tell you the truth! This item is far too precious for my Wan Yao Zhai to afford right now..."

"Besides, you'll be at a huge loss if you sell it directly like this. It's better to have it auctioned off by an auction house. Of course, if you find it troublesome and don't mind, I can help you find an auction house to auction it off."

Mr. Yao looked unwilling to deceive Yun Li and kind, as if he were thinking of the young girl. He even offered to help her find a suitable auction house.

As for his true thoughts, only he knows them.

"Is that so?"

Yun Li was surprised that Mr. Yao would say such a thing.

He seemed quite wealthy, and since it was a pharmacy, he offered the Seeds of Abundance in exchange for some gold coins.

If it were to be auctioned off, she wouldn't need him at all.

Why not just leave Qingshan Town and go to a larger urban area?

However, the girl didn't say anything more, nor did she sell the gold coins at a low price; she had enough for now. She'd deal with the rest when she got to other places.

auctions……

The auction industry is very developed in Dou Qi Continent, with most cities having its own auction houses. Xiao Yan often makes money by going through auction houses and then picking up bargains from them.

The same applies to things like the Three Thousand Thunderclaps and fragments of the Strange Flame Map...

Once you arrive in this world, you naturally have to experience it. Not only can you earn a lot of gold coins, but you may also find suitable materials for forging swords.

But we'll talk about that later...

After completing the transaction at Wanyaozhai, Yun Li prepared to leave, but still didn't notice Xiao Yixian. Unable to resist her curiosity, she asked Mr. Yao about Xiao Yixian's situation.

"You mean Little Fairy Doctor? She's off today and is researching medicine in the backyard."

Mr. Yao's eyes darted away subconsciously, and he casually explained the reason.

In reality, it was a form of house arrest.

Upon hearing this, Yun Li did not ask any further questions and turned to leave Wan Yao Zhai.

Watching Yun Li's departing figure, Mr. Yao's expression changed instantly. Although he usually appeared to be a kind and compassionate doctor and was very amiable in front of outsiders, he was completely different in private.

However, unlike others, he wouldn't act directly. He also had to consider his reputation, so if possible, he preferred to act secretly.

Therefore, his first thought was to send a servant to follow Yun Li. Money can be a powerful motivator; if there were no other concerns, he would act decisively…

Let alone the ten thousand gold pieces, the seeds of abundance alone are worth the risk for him.

……

After leaving Wan Yao Zhai, Yun Li was not in a hurry to leave Qingshan Town. There were still some things here that she needed to confirm and pay attention to.

So she decided to find a place to stay first.

Because of the resources of the Monster Mountain Range, Green Mountain Town has no shortage of inns and hotels.

She stopped shortly on her way to the inn.

She had quite a few people following her along the way.

I've been following her ever since she left Wanyaozhai. Did you think she didn't know?

When Yun Li stopped and looked over, the mercenaries no longer just followed her, but walked over openly.

They tacitly surrounded Yun Li, preventing her from escaping.

"What do you want to do?"

Yun Li looked at these lewd mercenaries. There were five of them in total, each of them burly and with a lewd smile on their face, which was repulsive.

Compared to Xianzhou, the public security here is really bad; people dare to act so recklessly on the streets.

"What do you want to do? Didn't your parents tell you that girls shouldn't come to places like this alone? Especially a pretty girl like you, it's very dangerous."

"Hehe, little beauty, where did you come from? I've never seen you before. Where are your family? Can't find your way home? Why don't you come home with me?"

"No, little beauty, don't go with him, come with your uncle, let your uncle take good care of you."

"Come with your brother, he'll take you to see the elephant that spits water..."

"How about this, young lady? You can choose any of the five of us, or all five of us together are fine too, hahaha..."

Five mercenaries surrounded Yun Li in a circle, their faces lewd and their words even more offensive.

In a world without a complete legal order, especially in a world that worships the law of the jungle, having beauty without power is inherently wrong.

In their eyes, Yun Li had neither fighting spirit nor guards, so wasn't she just easy prey?

I feel like I'd be letting myself down if I didn't do something.

Moreover, generally speaking, such beauties are either enjoyed by the boss or are people you can't afford to offend or provoke; where would you normally get the chance to be with them?

Looking at the girl's bright, jade-like feet and her attire, their eyes burned even more intensely and became increasingly unrestrained.

"That's too much! How could they bully such a young girl?"

"Well, there's nothing we can do. They're from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and they've always been arrogant and domineering."

This scene naturally attracted the attention of passersby. Some people looked indignant, but dared not provoke them.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group is a local tyrant in Qingshan Town; they're not to be trifled with.

Others simply watched the spectacle from the sidelines, adopting an attitude of indifference, with no one stepping forward to stop it.

Seeing this, the mercenaries became even more unscrupulous, their faces filled with arrogance and pride.

"Why are there always some dogs in this world who like to block the way? Don't you think so, buddy?"

Yun Li ignored the group, not even glancing at them, and simply took Lao Tie out of the system space.

As for the Wolf Head Mercenary Group and the Dog Head Mercenary Group, Yun Li wouldn't bother with them unless they provoked her, but...

He just asked for it!

"Little brat, who are you calling a dog?"

Seeing the heavy sword that Yun Li had conjured out of thin air, the mercenary group members were stunned and sensed something unusual, but then they were angered by the girl's words.

To be called a dog by a mere girl is unforgivable.

"Whoever barks like a dog is a dog."

Yun Li finally raised her head and looked at them directly, but the way she looked at them, as if they were dogs, made them even more furious.

"Hmph, I'd like to see who's the dog here. I hope you can handle it."

"Attack her together, grab her... show her what's what..."

Their gazes turned cold. The mercenaries exchanged glances, then, without wasting any more time, attacked her directly. A little brat without even a trace of fighting spirit had no idea what reality was.

However, at the very moment they made their move, Yun Li moved even faster.

She gripped the iron sword with both hands and, as if swatting flies, swatted the mercenaries away one by one, sending them crashing to the ground, utterly dead.

There's no need to take these people seriously at all.

She even had to struggle to restrain herself, fearing she might destroy everything here. After all, she had only recently advanced in cultivation and hadn't fully mastered her power yet…

Having dealt with the mercenaries, Yun Li wasted no more time, turned around and continued walking with Lao Tie on her back.

She simply regarded these people as vicious dogs barking in the road, which did not affect her goal at all.

Those around them were stunned by the scene. Yun Li clearly had no trace of battle aura on her body, yet she was so strong.

Those mercenaries were at least four or five-star fighters, and they were taken care of just like that.

Meanwhile, there were some mercenaries nearby, who felt that the scene in front of them looked familiar, as if they had seen it before.

"Hey, doesn't this scene seem familiar?"

A mercenary from another mercenary group who was watching realized what was happening, patted his companion on the shoulder, and asked him what was going on.

"What do you mean by déjà vu?"

The person being questioned didn't react immediately.

"That girl, don't you think she looks a lot like that person from before?"

"Before... oh, you mean Xiao Yan, the one who turned the Wolf Head Mercenary Group upside down?"

At this moment, he realized that the barefoot girl's movements were indeed very familiar!

"Right."

"Regardless of her weapon, movements, and the way she carries the sword, if she weren't a girl, I would have thought that Xiao Yan had returned from the fight."

Previously, Xiao Yan had taken revenge on the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and even the third leader of the Wolf Head died at his hands.

They were all well aware of this matter, and had even witnessed Xiao Yan's battle with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Unfortunately, in the end, Xiao Yan was still chased into the depths of the Monster Mountain Range by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

Everyone assumed that Xiao Yan was already dead.

Suddenly, a mercenary overheard these words and couldn't help but interject with a question.

"This girl seems to be from the Monster Mountain Range. Do you think it's possible that she is Xiao Yan?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"We've all met Xiao Yan; he's a young man. How could he possibly be such a cute and pretty girl? Besides, I feel like she's much stronger than Xiao Yan."

Although their weapons and some poses are somewhat similar, it's too far-fetched to connect her with Xiao Yan.

"Anything can happen deep in the Monster Mountain Range. Who knows if he might suddenly eat some divine object, turn into a girl, and then become much stronger."

"...Dude, with your imagination, it's a waste of your talent not to write storybooks."

"I still can't accept that such a cute girl could be Xiao Yan."

"Whether it is true or not, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is going to have a headache again after this happened."

"Deserved it."

This girl is Xiao Yan or something. Apart from that fanciful mercenary, no one else will take it too seriously.

Although this girl is not Xiao Yan, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group will definitely not sit still, which is something that other mercenary groups are happy to see.

I'd love to see them suffer...
