I am a cannon fodder, so what's wrong with grabbing an opportunity?

Xie Zhiqiu didn't expect this kid to come up with anything. After all, what good things could a Qi Refining Stage 2 cultivator have?

In his previous life, even when he reached the foundation-building stage, he didn't have anything useful. Even as a sword cultivator, he used the sword that Jin Ning didn't want, and that sword was very rebellious. Therefore, he used a wooden sword most of the time.

Most of the spiritual plants that Chaomu took out were of low quality and there were not many types, but they still had the advantage of quantity.

They are all commonly used spiritual plants such as Dan Ning Grass, Purifying Grass, and Bi Xi Grass to assist in alchemy.

After Chaomu arranged them, he asked, "Take a look, is there anything you like?"

He just smelled the scent of spiritual herbs on this person, which was much stronger than that of ordinary people, but not obvious, and could not be smelled unless you smelled carefully.

"I like them all. Please name a price for them." Xie Zhiqiu usually refines mostly liquid medicines and rarely condenses pills. It's not that she doesn't want to.

Without the Dan Ning grass, she wouldn't have the patience to make the pills, and she would be too lazy to make the pills unless it was necessary.

This resulted in her storage ring being filled with all kinds of bottles.

When Chaomu heard Xie Zhiqiu's words, his eyes lit up and he explained it to Xie Zhiqiu in detail.

"Here are thirty stalks of Dan Ning grass, thirty stalks of Purifying grass, and ten stalks of Bi Xi grass... a total of one hundred stalks. I will give you three low-grade spirit stones for each stalk, and you can just pay me three medium-grade spirit stones."

Xie Zhiqiu also knew that the kid was being honest by not quoting a high price for him, so he didn't bargain with him.

"Sure, but I only have one Spirit Stone on me, so it's not easy to trade."

When Chaomu heard the word "but", his heart skipped a beat and he even paused in his action of collecting the spiritual herbs. However, after hearing this, he felt a little relieved.

If it is difficult to trade, it means it should be a top-grade spirit stone, but he doesn't have any extra spirit stones on him and can't find them. What should he do?

Xie Zhiqiu naturally knew that the child couldn't give her change, and was about to put forward her own idea, but she didn't expect that what the child said was beyond her expectations.

"I can give you all these spiritual herbs. Could you please help me refine a recovery pill?" Chao Mu was worried that Xie Zhiqiu would refuse. After all, the value of a recovery pill far exceeded three mid-grade spiritual stones.

The words came out quickly: "You don't need to provide the raw materials. I will provide all the necessary materials. You just need to help me refine it."

Xie Zhiqiu opened his mouth to say something, and Chaomu thought there was no hope.

He added hurriedly: "If you think the reward is not enough, I have a hundred spiritual plants at home, you can take them all."

Before Xie Zhiqiu could open his mouth to speak, he was interrupted by others.

Several middle-aged monks came over with a swagger, "Chao Mu, you are so bold, you dare to sell my things."

"What do you mean your stuff? I obviously grew this myself." Chao Mu argued loudly.

Xie Zhiqiu could tell that these words were directed at her. If this boy could grow spiritual plants, it would not be impossible for him to lend a hand.

"What do your things mean? As long as you enter the dark market, you have to pay protection fees. These things are naturally mine." said the middle-aged monk in the lead.

Chaomu was like an angry puppy, "I have already paid it, and this place is not within the scope of the dark market, you can't collect protection money from me anymore."

Today may be his last chance to save Chao Yun, and he cannot give up this opportunity.

The monk licked his teeth with his tongue and said fiercely: "Whether to take it or not is up to me, who do you think you are?"

He then looked straight at Xie Zhiqiu and said, "If you are willing to hand over your guest to me, I will let you go today."

Chaomu wanted to rush out and fight these scumbags, firstly for himself, and secondly to win Xie Zhiqiu's favor.

Xie Zhiqiu grabbed Chaomu with one hand and said, "Take good care of my spiritual herbs. If there is one less, I won't consider your request."

When the middle-aged monks saw Xie Zhiqiu's actions, they said to the leader, "Hey, brother, look at this little girl. She's so pretty. It would be great to use her as a furnace."

"You want to use me as a furnace, but you don't even bother to find out who I am. Even Liang Yun from Discipline Peak would have to call me uncle when he sees me."

Several cultivators laughed loudly. "Why did you use Liang Yun's name when you could use someone else's? You are just a small foundation-building cultivator, yet you dare to associate yourself with Senior Brother Liang Yun."

"You should ask about my name, Liang Hu. Liang Yun is my brother. I have the final say not only in the dark market, but also in the outer sect."

Liang Hu: Everyone can raise a big banner.

Xie Zhiqiu smiled and shook the photo stone in his hand. "Thank you. I recorded everything just now. I will let Liang Yun watch it someday. I want to know what he would do if he knew that you have extorted protection fees many times and wanted to use his uncle as a furnace."

Several people panicked at once, but Liang Hu was still stubborn, "If you say so, then so be it. I don't believe it."

He turned around and said to the monks behind him: "Brothers, let's go ahead and take her down. Then we don't have to worry about the truth being exposed. It won't be difficult for the five of us to defeat her, who is only in the Foundation Establishment Stage."

Several people calmed down at once, "Brother is right, take her down."

Everyone took out their weapons and attacked together. There was no need to talk about morality at this time.

Chaomu was stunned. What was going on? One against five, how could they win? What’s more, this sister was an alchemy practitioner.

He immediately begged for mercy: "I will give you these spiritual herbs, please let us go."

Xie Zhiqiu:?

Turning his head to look at Chaomu, he asked in confusion: "I asked you to take good care of my spiritual herbs, what are you doing?"

When the five men saw such a good opportunity, how could they miss it, and immediately used their killer moves.

Chaomu didn't have time to respond. Seeing the actions of the five people, he reminded them, "Be careful."

Xie Zhiqiu turned around helplessly, slapped each of them as quickly as possible, and then threw them out. The five of them hit the tree, slid to the ground, and then piled up like a pyramid.

When the people at other stalls saw Liang Hu and his companions, they ran away early. At this time, apart from the seven of them, no one else knew what had happened.

Chaomu was stunned.

Xie Zhiqiu walked up to the five people and said, "You are too weak and useless. You are all in the foundation building stage, especially you, Liang Hu. You are in the middle stage of foundation building, but you can't beat me, who is in the early stage of foundation building. No wonder you have been mediocre all your life."

What Liang Hu hated most in his life was being told that he was weak. He had worked so hard to get to this position, so what right did this little girl have to say that to him?

He immediately threw over the five brothers who were pressing on him and attacked Xie Zhiqiu with his bare hands.

But in Xie Zhiqiu's eyes, his actions were just children playing house, and she kicked him over.

Xie Zhiqiu squatted beside Liang Hu and whispered to him, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll just stop you at Qi Refining."

Chao Mu watched Liang Hu being beaten by Xie Zhiqiu from beginning to end and thought he was going to die. He was a little worried that Xie Zhiqiu would get into trouble.

Xie Zhiqiu gave Liang Hu a breath and came to Chao Mu, "Let's go, let's talk somewhere else."

Chao Mu took a look and confirmed that the five people were not dead, so he led Xie Zhiqiu away.
