"Clan leader, this person has been buying resources in the city for cultivation."
"He shouldn't be leaving the city anytime soon."
The Zuoqiu tribesman who had been tracking Qin Hanchu respectfully reported to the Zuoqiu clan leader.
"Go spread the word that someone in Wolf Howl City is selling Soul Ascension Pills."
The Zuoqiu clan leader didn't want to waste any more time here and decided to lure the snake out of its hole with the Soul Ascension Pills.
"Clan leader, your wisdom is unmatched. I'll do it now."
On this day, Qin Hanchu once again went to an eatery.
Just then, two men sat down not far from Qin Hanchu.
"Did you hear? Someone in Wolf Howl City is selling Soul Ascension Pills."
"Really? How many purple cards?"
"It's not clear yet, but it might be auctioned at Wolf Howl City's auction."
"Should we go check it out?"
"No need, we don't stand a chance anyway."
"You're right."
Hearing their conversation, Qin Hanchu's eyes flickered.
Another Soul Ascension Pill?
After finishing his meal, Qin Hanchu left the inn.
What puzzled him was why the people who had been tracking him earlier hadn't shown up.
They had been following him all this time, so why disappear now?
Qin Hanchu felt that something was amiss.
Just then, the two men who had been discussing the Soul Ascension Pill came out.
As Qin Hanchu watched them, they also glanced in his direction.
It seemed like a casual glance before they walked away in opposite directions.
Their reactions seemed reasonable, but Qin Hanchu grew suspicious.
He had been openly staring at them, so why hadn't they reacted?
As cultivators at the Spiritual Venerable level, they couldn't have possibly missed his gaze.
Logically, they should have looked at Qin Hanchu with curiosity and asked him why he was staring at them.
Qin Hanchu went into a secluded alley, donned his invisibility cloak, and followed the two men.
A moment later, he saw them meet with the Zuoqiu clan leader and others.
Qin Hanchu didn't recognize the Zuoqiu clan leader himself, but he recognized the Zuoqiu family emblem.
Seeing this, Qin Hanchu realized it was a trap to lure him out.
"Strange, how would they know it was me who killed them?"
Seeing the Zuoqiu family members approaching, Qin Hanchu was puzzled.
He had already burned the Zuoqiu young master and his group to ashes. Where did the Zuoqiu family get their clues?
With his strength, Qin Hanchu was not afraid of the Zuoqiu family.
However, with so many Profound Kings from the Zuoqiu family present, Qin Hanchu would need to use his Primordial Chaos power to guarantee victory.
Being in the Great World, he didn't want to expose his Primordial Chaos power.
After careful consideration, Qin Hanchu decided to temporarily evade the Zuoqiu family's experts.
"Keep an eye outside the city, he should be leaving soon," the Zuoqiu clan leader said.
"Yes," his subordinates replied and then went outside the city one after another.
Concealed, Qin Hanchu walked towards the city outskirts.
With the help of the invisibility cloak, Qin Hanchu left the city without a trace.
Outside the city, the Zuoqiu clan leader was waiting for news from his subordinates.
Several days later, a Zuoqiu tribesman said anxiously, "Clan leader, something has happened."
"What is it?" the Zuoqiu clan leader asked.
"That person has disappeared. He's neither in the city nor have we seen him leave."
The Zuoqiu clan leader said angrily, "What? How could this happen? Is the inn empty?"
"I've asked. He never returned after leaving the inn that day."
"I sent people to inquire at all the inns in the city, but there was no news of him."
"He might have sensed something was wrong and is hiding."
The Zuoqiu clan leader said with a cold expression, "Issue an order, search with all your might."
Stone Peak City is located atop a ten-thousand-zhang solitary peak.
Although the city is not large, it is extremely prosperous.
The reason for this is that Stone Peak City is a free trade city for martial artists.
All martial artists can set up stalls here to sell and exchange resources.
As long as a certain amount of purple cards is paid, one can obtain protection from the city's experts.
Anyone who causes trouble or commits fraud in the city will be hunted down by the experts of Stone Peak City.
At this moment, Qin Hanchu had arrived here.
Upon reaching the trading square, he saw thousands of people sitting on the ground.
In front of these people were many resources displayed.
Whether it was Profound Artifacts or Profound Pills, they were openly displayed, with no fear of being stolen.
In addition to these stall owners, there were also countless martial artists shuttling through the trading ground, looking for treasures.
Qin Hanchu blended into the crowd, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding stalls.
"How much for this Spirit Grass?"
Spirit Grass is a profound medicine that enhances mental power. Although it is not rare, its price is not cheap.
This item is only effective for Profound Realm martial artists. Even as a chosen one, Qin Hanchu cannot use it beyond his realm.
Using Spirit Grass at the Spiritual Saint level not only has no effect but also counterproductive.
Qin Hanchu bought it mainly to cultivate the Ferocious Golden Ape.
Once the Ferocious Golden Ape reaches the Profound Venerable level, Qin Hanchu can use it to fight against Profound Venerable experts.
After a round of bargaining, Qin Hanchu bought the Spirit Grass.
After browsing the trading ground, Qin Hanchu bought a total of six Spirit Grasses.
As for other items, nothing else caught his eye.
Just as Qin Hanchu was about to leave, an image suddenly appeared in his mind.
This image was the scene of the trading ground.
It seemed to be a stall that had just been set up.
The ability to silently place this image into his mind could only be the Heavenly Dao Spirit.
Qin Hanchu was puzzled as to what could have attracted the Heavenly Dao Spirit's attention.
After searching for a long time, Qin Hanchu finally found the stall in the image.
As soon as he reached the stall, Qin Hanchu sensed a very subtle Primordial Chaos power.
This Primordial Chaos power originated from a rusty broken sword.
"Fellow daoist, you're selling this piece of junk?"
Although he didn't know the origin of this broken sword, the fact that it emanated Primordial Chaos power indicated that it was definitely extraordinary.
Qin Hanchu pointed at the broken sword and quipped.
"This is not junk. Even a top-tier spiritual sword can't cut through it."
"Even the rust on it can't be scraped off."
"Although the sword is broken, its material is definitely extraordinary," the stall owner, a Spiritual God realm martial artist, said.
Qin Hanchu looked at the stall owner's other items and said, "Most of your spiritual medicines are what I need. I'll buy them all."
Hearing this, the Spiritual God realm martial artist was surprised, "Are you sure? All of them combined cost five thousand purple cards."
"I'll take everything, can't you give me a discount?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"No bargaining."
"In that case, forget it. I've never seen such a stingy stall owner," Qin Hanchu said.
Seeing Qin Hanchu about to give up the transaction, the stall owner became a little anxious.
Time is money, and if Qin Hanchu bought all the spiritual medicines, he wouldn't have to waste time setting up stalls anymore.
"The price cannot be bargained, but how about I give you this broken sword?"
"The material of this sword is definitely extraordinary."
In fact, the stall owner had already had the material of the broken sword appraised by others.
But many people had said that the material had no value.
