Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming Chapter 1149: 694

Chapter 1149: Chapter 694

So, upon arriving here, they found that the outer area was bustling with vendors selling goods, with all sorts of stalls and peddlers around!

However, this lively scene was rely superficial!

Wherever Luo Yaxuan went, he was always accompanied by junior sisters. When he went out on missions, the ones following him were mbers of his family, fellow disciples from the sa sect, and often people from the Saint Sect as well!

Word had it that there were rapists within the patrol areas outside. Naturally, as her parents, his master and mistress couldn’t feel at ease about their daughter. Thus, the three of them decided to join Luo Yaxuan.

Lai Jianlin, too, brought along family mbers, junior sisters, and fellow disciples, as well as individuals from the Saint Sect.

After finding the person who reported the incident, Tang Feiyang, Luo Yaxuan, and Lai Jianlin, who were long-ti acquaintances, shared their thoughts with one another.

Seeing a team with so many Golden Core cultivators, Tang Feiyang felt relieved to so extent. After all, their cultivation was superior to his own!

When Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin heard about the situation, they extended their Divine Senses and began silently searching for suspicious individuals.

During the past few days, Du Jiaolan had truly been both terrified and uneasy. Upon seeing Tang Feiyang, she didn’t even dare to step forward to et him!

She silently observed Tang Feiyang from a distance, unwilling to reveal her identity, while also noticing that soone was monitoring him. She wanted to pass him a ssage but didn’t dare to do so.

Tang Feiyang intelligently filed another report and brought in more capable beings. He wasn’t sure if he should feel relieved or remain on edge since his own identity was doubtful!

After hearing Tang Feiyang’s report, Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin didn’t separate. Instead, their respective groups split up to patrol in different areas.

The two of them maintained contact at all tis while continuously using their Divine Senses to search for any signs or clues.

In this outer area, those who entered hadn’t registered their identities at all!

What they needed to do now was investigate everyone, be it the vendors or the shoppers!

Whether they were staying at inns or residing in nearby households, everyone had to be checked!

It was possible that so individuals were using aliases or providing false information!

When conducting their checks, anyone who seed suspicious would have their Qi locked onto.

During this ticulous investigation, they truly discovered a few individuals hiding in the snow. So had even secretly dug holes in the ground to lie in wait!

Finding these people suspicious, Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin instructed their team to pull them out, one by one.

Du Jiaolan realized that so of her companions had already been captured under the pretext of investigating rapists. Several of her allies were taken!

Knowing that their opponents were strong, their Hermit concealnt techniques could no longer be relied upon for stealth.

She then ca up with the only viable thod she could think of: blending into the crowd. She had full confidence in her Disguise Technique!

At this mont, she transford herself into an elderly woman—a white-haired crone!

In the snowy area, she was selling ordinary goods as a cover—head ornants, hairpins, and other intricately crafted accessories, which were, in fact, her own belongings!

After all, she was a rich young lady, and her jewelry was far from ordinary!

They weren’t the type of Magical Treasures found in the Cultivation World, but nonetheless, they were exquisite accessories often traded for Spirit Stones.

Du Jiaolan had previously only traded her goods for silver notes or silver coins. These items could still serve as currency among mortals or martial artists.

True cultivators, however, would deem them worthless, as those with abundant resources wouldn’t even spare them a glance!

Yet, there were still so who found the beautiful jewelry appealing and wished to buy them just for fun!

Liu Jiaojiao happened to be one such person. She had already been studying Artifact Refining and possessed many pieces of jewelry gifted by Luo Yaxuan!

As a young woman, she couldn’t help but be drawn to pretty things; there was nothing wrong with taking a second look. If her companion bought her sothing, it would be even better!

Following beside his junior sister, Luo Yaxuan’s team, while maintaining their patrols from the skies, also walked through the streets disguised as ordinary people. This, too, served as a form of cover!

Other mbers in their vicinity had apprehended a few infiltrators and were discreetly interrogating them!

Luo Yaxuan noticed his junior sister pausing at the stall of an elderly woman selling jewelry!

Seeing her pick up the ornants for a closer look, he observed that these were rely beautiful on the surface with nothing particularly extraordinary about them.

Du Jiaolan saw the man and woman in front of her and sensed their impressive capabilities. From their deanor, she could tell they both exuded an aura of wealth. They were clearly a strikingly handso pair, easily identifying them as rich scions!

She further deduced that they might be cultivators or perhaps mbers of the patrol team. Her mind was a tangled ss of anxiety—if she ran now, she’d surely be caught. All she could do was hope they wouldn’t unmask her.

“Miss, did anything catch your eye?”

Liu Jiaojiao’s gaze lingered on the various hairpins, combs, and headpieces. Among them, there were so that particularly stood out to her.

Previously, in the Immortal Sect, she had always sought beauty, being the Golden Core Elder’s daughter. She had access to the best of everything. Later, after eting Luo Yaxuan, who was skilled in Artifact Refining, he had crafted many exquisite pieces of jewelry for her!

Not only were they beautiful, but so even had chanisms embedded for defense or attack!

What initially appeared to be simple ornants eventually turned out to be powerful tools for subduing enemies.

Now, as she examined the jewelry on this stall, she found them quite lovely. One or two pieces, particularly a hairpin, caught her fancy—this hairpin seed to contain hidden chanisms!

Before she had learned Artifact Refining, she wouldn’t have noticed such subtle designs!

“How much for this hairpin? Does this chanism within it—does it hold poisoned silver needles?”

Du Jiaolan’s heart tightened upon hearing this. The young girl before her, no more than fifteen or sixteen, appeared even younger than herself—how could an Immortal Cultivator possess such knowledge?

She only had such expertise due to her organization’s training in chanisms. The jewelry on this stall, too, was created by her group, specifically equipped with hidden chanisms to hold poisoned needles!

Their purpose was to aid in missions or serve as a ans of self-defense.

“Miss, this old woman imported these goods from the South. They’re products from prestigious workshops. I had to call in many favors and put in great effort to obtain them. Originally, they were intended for sale in the South, but I ca here upon hearing of better business opportunities!”

Luo Yaxuan observed his junior sister’s interest and examined the jewelry closely. Indeed, the chanisms in the ornants concealed poisoned needles, particularly within the hairpins!

He narrowed his eyes with a scrutinizing gaze directed at the elderly woman before them!

The elderly woman appeared unassuming, dressed plainly like any old lady. Yet, her figure betrayed her disguise—it didn’t resemble that of an elderly woman at all. Her face bore wrinkles, freckles, and age spots, all likely achieved through Disguise Techniques, but her figure was hard to fake!

Through a man’s perspective, he noted that her posture wasn’t stooped. Her hourglass shape and erect fra were far from what one would expect of a married or elderly woman!

The jade bracelet on her exposed wrist also contained a hidden chanism. Those slender, delicate hands—could they truly belong to an old lady?

Luo Yaxuan grew suspicious of the woman. Yet, as of now, she bore no direct evidence of criminal activity. Their investigations into traces of the rapists hadn’t aligned with her Qi signature.

Liu Jiaojiao had no knowledge of her senior brother’s musings. She had rely taken a liking to one of the ornants and wanted to buy it. However, she was even more eager for her senior brother to gift it to her!

Although she had money, the items her senior brother gave her always felt more aningful!

“Senior Brother, what do you think of this hairpin?”

“If you like it, just buy it!”

“Mhm, mhm!”

Luo Yaxuan watched the pleased smile on his junior sister’s face, fondly taking out a silver note from his pocket. He noted that the elegantly crafted hairpin was priced at 120 silver notes!

Eyebrows slightly raised, he studied the elderly woman standing before him but refrained from exposing her identity. He carefully counted out 120 taels from the silver note and handed it over.

In the Cultivation World, Spirit Stones were the primary currency of trade, while silver notes were more common in mortal transactions—for als, lodgings, and so forth, especially when traveling far.

Trading with silver notes naturally cost less than dealing with Spirit Stones!

Spending 120 taels on a hairpin wasn’t overly extravagant. Given the chanism inside, it could even serve as a defensive tool, making it decently worthwhile!

Recalling the poisoned chanism within the hairpin, he exercised caution handling it, ensuring the woman didn’t activate it before passing it over to him.
