Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

The Flowing Cloud Black Market.

This place is built in a huge valley.

Countless signs hang on the cliff face, with strange patterns and characters.

When Mo Xie entered this place, it was as if she had returned to her hometown; her eyes were practically glowing green.

He plunged headfirst into a grocery store.

Jiang Yining kept her head down and followed closely behind.

She was now wearing a spare set of work clothes that she had taken out of the Moye Divine Machine Box. Although they were a bit too big, they covered up her looks a little, making her look like a little follower.

"How much for this piece of meteorite iron?"

Mo Xie pointed to a black lump in the corner of the counter, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

Behind the counter, the shop owner lazily stretched out two fingers.

"One million mid-grade star stones, no bargaining."

"One million?!"

Mo Xie, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, raised her voice.

"There are clearly several cracks on this, at least 30% of it is damaged! It's worth at most 800,000!"

"Eight hundred thousand?"

The shop owner looked at him with a mocking expression.

"If you're broke, don't bother with meteorite iron. Go out and turn left to buy pig iron."

Mo Xie was so angry that her face turned red, and her hand was already on the Divine Machine Box.

He would use all the money in his pocket to buy elixirs.

Seeing that you can't afford the materials you want is worse than killing a tech enthusiast.

Mo Xie lowered his head, fiddling with the compass somewhat dejectedly: "I still need to save money for my sister's medicine. Let's go, stop looking, it's upsetting."

Jiang Yining sighed inwardly as she looked at Mo Xie's frustrated expression.

"Young master, since our family is poor, we have to find a way to make money."

She stepped forward and gave him a look that said, "Leave it to me."

Mo Xie looked at her suspiciously: "You? What can you do? Robbery? There are law enforcement teams in this city. If you get caught, they'll chop off your hand."

"Young Master, there's something in this world that's much faster than robbing someone to make money." Jiang Yining blinked. "It's called 'packaging'."

Half an hour later, at the busiest stall in the Flowing Cloud Black Market.

Jiang Yining picked out a blue longsword broken in two from the broken magical artifacts she had looted from the bandits.

This thing might be a treasure in the Floating Cloud Realm, but in the Azure Realm, it's just scrap metal.

But at this moment, Jiang Yining had coated the sword with some luminous herbal juice and attached several shiny crystal pieces to the broken edge.

Forced by her, Mo Xie carved a tiny array on the sword that served no purpose other than to emit light.

"Young Master, just stand here and don't say anything. Just put on that arrogant face of yours."

Jiang Yining gave the instructions.

Mo Xie's face darkened: "What the hell are you up to?"

Jiang Yining ignored him and started yelling at the top of her lungs.

"Take a look! The remains of the 'Azure Rainbow Immortal Sword,' lost from the ancient sword tomb! It contains unparalleled sword intent and is guided by a star map left by an immortal from the upper realm! If the patriarch didn't urgently need star stones to buy medicine, such a divine artifact would never have been passed on to outsiders!"

From her conversation with Mo Xie, Jiang Yining learned that the Canglan Realm was merely a lower level of a mid-level world within this vast universe.

The upper realm isn't here at all.

Of course, the Upper Realm is too far away for Jiang Yining now; she even has trouble surviving in the Canglan Realm.

Jiang Yining's voice was full of energy, and coupled with her stunning beauty, it instantly attracted a lot of onlookers.

"What Azure Rainbow Sword? You're just bragging!" A fat, big-eared merchant walked over, squinting at the glowing broken sword. "This is clearly just ordinary iron."

"Ordinary iron?" Jiang Yining sneered, turning to look at Mo Xie. "Young Master, show this 'discerning' gentleman a piece of the pie."

Although Mo Xie felt so embarrassed he wanted to die, for the sake of that piece of meteorite iron, he still kept a straight face and raised his hand to flick out an extremely thin golden spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy struck the array on the sword, instantly activating the fluorescent glow of the herbal juice.

Om-!

A dazzling azure light shot into the sky, carrying even a faint, almost imperceptible, wood-elemental pressure.

That scene truly resembled the awakening of a divine being.

Those around immediately gasped in surprise.

"This light...this aura...could it really be from the upper realm?"

Taking advantage of the situation, Jiang Yining began to deceive: "Sir, look at this break. This is not ordinary damage; it was forcibly broken by the laws of the void! The star map sealed inside is very likely pointing to the legendary 'Star Emperor's Relic Treasure'."

"If our young master weren't trying to save his beautiful younger sister, why would he give up such an opportunity to you?"

As she spoke, she wiped away non-existent tears.

Mo Xie's lips twitched as he listened from behind. A beauty that could rival any flower? His own sister? His sister was only six years old, still so childish!

"What is the Star Emperor's legacy? I've never heard of it."

Jiang Yining rolled her eyes inwardly. "You've heard of that? That's ridiculous!"

"This is a secret known only to high-level cultivators!"

She lowered her voice, as if revealing a secret: "Judging from my young master's cultivation level, he's at the True Monarch Realm! How could he possibly leave behind some low-level items!"

In the Canglan Realm, cultivation levels are divided from lowest to highest as follows: Spirit Awakening Realm, Soul Building Realm, Void Insight Realm, Profound Light Realm, True Monarch Realm, Heavenly Monarch Realm, and Dao Inquiry Realm.

Half-Saint Realm, Saint Realm, Supreme Realm.

For Mo Xie at her age, reaching the True Monarch Realm is already quite remarkable.

"That place contains a supreme-level magic weapon! See the magic artifact on my young master's back?"

"This is the magic treasure I obtained from that place, a treasure for those at the Dao Inquiry Realm!"

The large box on Moye's body was big enough to hold it.

"How much is this sword?" The wealthy merchant was tempted.

"Not expensive." Jiang Yining held up one finger: "One hundred thousand mid-grade star stones. No bargaining. This is money to buy my life."

Mo Xie gasped. This piece of scrap iron actually cost her 100,000 mid-grade star stones?

Jiang Yining secretly stepped on his foot and gave him a look that said, "Don't hold me back."

"Fifty thousand! Fifty thousand at most!" the wealthy merchant bargained.

"Ninety thousand, that's the lowest I can go." Jiang Yining pretended to sheathe her longsword. "Any lower and our young master would rather melt this sword down for materials than let this divine object be disgraced."

"Fine! Ninety thousand it is!" The wealthy merchant gritted his teeth and pulled out a heavy bag of star stones.

Transaction.

Mo Xie was completely stunned.

He watched as Jiang Yining deftly put away the Star Essence Stone, and then took out a broken Heart-Protecting Mirror.

Less than an hour later.

What Mo Xie originally considered "trash" spoils were all sold at high prices to those suckers who dreamed of getting rich, thanks to Jiang Yining's silver tongue and Mo Xie's cheap special effects.

When the last bag of Star Essence Stones arrived, Jiang Yining weighed the three million mid-grade Star Essence Stones in her hand and waved them at Mo Xie.

"Young master, how about we buy two pieces of that meteorite iron? One to use, and one to smash around with. What do you think?"

Mo Xie looked at the woman before him, and for the first time, his golden pupils revealed heartfelt admiration.

He finally understood.

Women who come down from the lower realms do not necessarily possess unparalleled martial arts skills.

But the one in front of us is definitely a monster who can revive the dead.

"Buy." Mo Xie uttered a single word crisply, a slight smile unconsciously curving his lips.

This time, at least I found someone useful when I was picking people up!

When he goes back, will his mother still scold him for being blind?

Jiang Yining smiled so hard her eyes curved into crescents, and pulled Mo Xie straight to the general store.

"Young master, let's go, let's hurry and buy it and run away!"

"When we get to the next town, I want to eat meat and take a bath!"

Mo Xie was being dragged along, watching the woman's sneaky back in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips.
