Sixty years of blacksmithing, a single hammer blow forging a celestial being.

"What? Another one?"

The waiter was taken aback. "Haven't you had enough? Are these two monsters? Eating so much!"

Moreover, he glanced at Li Ping'an's tattered clothes with some suspicion.

He said with a somewhat skeptical tone, "Sir, this table of dishes isn't cheap!"

"How expensive? How cheap?"

Li Pingan said nonchalantly, "Just go! Enough with the nonsense! Hurry up!"

Seeing Li Ping'an's expression, the waiter dared not say anything more.

He quickly stepped back a few paces and quietly followed the shopkeeper upstairs.

"Shopkeeper! These two have already eaten four plates of monster meat! Now they want four more!"

The shopkeeper also saw Li Ping'an and He Wangshu.

At that moment, I became very wary.

In fact, there are often people who come to this market to eat and dash.

After coming in and having a big meal, he was left with no money.

They can't really do anything to them; at most, they can arrest them and make them wash dishes for a few months, but in reality, they're still losing money.

These two are obviously trying to dine and dash!

The shopkeeper was a big, burly man with a fierce-looking face.

He immediately put on a stern face and walked towards Li Ping'an and He Wangshu.

He slammed his hand on the table and said, "Hey! You two are eating so much, can you afford to pay for it?"

He got straight to the point.

Li Ping'an was wiping his mouth when he saw the shopkeeper coming over and speaking so rudely.

She glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with your shop? Customers haven't even finished their food, and you're already asking them if they have money? Is this how you do business?"

"If they were normal people, we wouldn't interfere; they could eat whatever they wanted! But with the two of you, I have to be suspicious!"

The shopkeeper had a sneer on his face as he looked Li Ping'an up and down, his eyes full of mockery.

Li Ping'an knew that this was a sign of looking down on him.

Without hesitation, he took out fifty spirit stones from his storage bag and threw them on the table.

"Come on! Take a good look! Is this enough to eat? Can you afford it?"

The shopkeeper's eyes widened when he saw so many spirit stones laid out on the table.

He quickly replied with a beaming smile, "That's more than enough! We could eat here for ten days or half a month!"

"Then what are you babbling about? Just bring me the food!"

"yes!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and bowed, then ran back home.

He turned around and slapped the waiter across the face.

"You blind fool! Don't you know you're a rich man? You're telling me about trying to dine and dash! Be careful not to offend the customer!"

The waiter was slapped for no reason, feeling extremely wronged but helpless.

He muttered, "These two guys are clearly so rich, yet they're dressed so shabbily!"

Seeing this, Li Ping'an slowly put away the spirit stones.

However, in that instant, he sensed several malicious fluctuations of spiritual energy sweeping towards him.

My heart skipped a beat. Oh no!

He had been so focused on showing off in front of He Wangshu that he forgot about the importance of keeping one's wealth hidden.

It seems we've been targeted.

Feeling the malicious gazes from those few people, Li Pingan pulled He Wangshu to another table.

However, those few gazes also shifted towards him as he changed position.

Are we really being targeted this time?

Li Ping'an felt uneasy, unsure of the cultivation level of the entity targeting him.

What if it's a Foundation Establishment cultivator? That would be terrible.

A short while later, the waiter brought the dishes over, covering his face.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Li Ping'an shook his head and said.

"Forget it! Let's eat first! We'll deal with whatever comes our way! I, Li Ping'an, have survived so many great calamities, what's a little trouble like this!"

So they continued to wolf down their food together with He Wangshu.

They ate at three or four tables in a row before they were finally satisfied.

Both of them ate until their stomachs were bloated, like pregnant women.

It was burping loudly and wildly.

After paying the bill, we had consumed a total of five spirit stones.

Seeing He Wangshu's distress, I suddenly regretted not eating so much; I didn't expect it to be so expensive.

He thought this place was like any other hotel in the secular world, where one spirit stone would be enough to eat and drink to his heart's content for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this was a market for cultivators, and the meat served was all from demonic beasts, naturally measured in spirit stones.

Looking at He Wangshu's face, which was full of guilt and apology.

Li Ping'an slapped him on the back of the head and said.

"This is on you, sir! What are you muttering about? Just eat!"

After saying this, the two of them leaned against the wall and walked out of the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, Li Ping'an could clearly feel that the malicious gazes had disappeared for a while.

However, before they could take more than a few steps, those same gazes were fixed on them again.

It seems these guys won't give up until they achieve their goal.

Li Pingan muttered to himself, "Today I'll see just how much you're really worth."

He and He Wangshu left the market and walked on the rugged and narrow mountain path.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps behind me.

Three masked men, armed with weapons, rushed toward Li Ping'an and He Wangshu.

He was still shouting, "You old man and child up there! Stop right there!"

He Wangshu was immediately startled when he saw this scene.

The three men looked fierce and clearly had ill intentions.

His voice trembled slightly as he asked, "Sir! What should we do?"

Li Ping'an scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately felt much more at ease.

It turned out to be a bunch of lowly thugs who hadn't even reached the Qi Refining stage.

One body forging level nine, two body forging levels eight.

Seriously, this kind of scum dares to rob us? It's absolutely laughable.

However, he glanced at He Wangshu, whose voice was trembling with fear and whose face was deathly pale.

He immediately curled his lips into a smirk, revealing a timid expression as he spoke.

"Oh no! It's robbers! Xiao Wangshu, we have to run!"

So he grabbed He Wangshu and quickly ran up the mountain path.

Three robbers were rapidly pursuing them from behind.

Seeing Li Ping'an and He Wangshu take off running, he immediately laughed.

"These two think they can escape? An old man and a child, let's see how they get away!"

"Big brother! You were right! That old guy may only be at the first level of Qi Refining, but he's old and frail, and probably hasn't learned any magic for a long time! The three of us brothers have him cornered!"

"That's right! I told you, you wouldn't agree at first, saying things like 'Qi Refining stage cultivator'! I already said, that old man looks like he's on his deathbed, about to kick the bucket! What's there to be afraid of!"

"Let me tell you! These cultivators carry a lot of spirit stones! I just saw him pull out a full fifty spirit stones, and he definitely has more than that! We've really struck it rich this time! After this job, we can go to Chunmanlou and have some fun!"

The three laughed loudly and chased after the two at high speed, gradually increasing the distance between them.

As expected, the two of them couldn't run fast at all and were able to catch up quickly.

"What do we do, sir! They're catching up soon!"
