Yin Mo tilted his head slightly, glanced coldly at the two Jindan cultivators, and immediately frightened the man so much that he hastily swallowed the words he had not yet finished uttering.

The two men were unfamiliar middle-aged monks, and Yin Mo knew nothing about them.

Yin Mo had no idea which sect they belonged to.

At this time, the shop owner and two assistants in front of Yin Mo had already been suppressed by the huge spiritual pressure that was so close to them. They were pressed directly to the ground and could not move.

Their faces were filled with horror, and when they heard that Yin Mo was actually a Nascent Soul cultivator, they were terrified and hurriedly wanted to beg for mercy.

But the pressure on the three men was like a mountain, making it difficult for them to even breathe, let alone beg for mercy.

The monks around all had pale faces, and some of the timid ones had even retreated quietly for fear of getting into trouble.

Sun Huo, who was standing behind Yin Mo, was not affected at all except for being forced to take a few steps back due to Yin Mo's special care.

Even so, as soon as he recognized Yin Mo, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and respectfully praised:

"Disciple Sun Huo, greetings to Grandmaster Yin."

Yin Mo ignored the three people in front of him, turned around and looked at the broken talisman in Sun Huo's hand, nodded slightly and said:
"It seems you already know my identity."

"I didn't know the true identity of my master at that time, so I made some inappropriate remarks. I hope you can forgive me!"

Sun Huo thought of his previous disrespectful behavior towards Yin Mo in the holy land, and felt uneasy, and hurriedly humbled himself.

"I wasn't an elder of our sect at that time, so I naturally wouldn't blame you for your mistake."

"However, this broken talisman in your hand seems to have some connection with me." Yin Mo stared at Sun Huo and said slowly.

"Remnant Talisman, could it be that the master is..." Sun Huo was shocked and hesitated to speak. Just as he was about to say something else, a silver light flew towards him from a low altitude in the distance.

"We'll talk about this later." Yin Mo waved his hand to stop Sun Huo from speaking. His eyes were fixed on the light in the distance.

The only cultivators who can fly freely without restrictions in Tiantian City are probably the law enforcers of the Nine-Nation Alliance.

They are responsible for maintaining order before and after the entire Tiantian City Trade Fair.

Sun Huo naturally didn't dare to continue speaking and could only stand there obediently.

But he was so excited that he became more cautious as he held the talisman paper.

At this time, the silver light flashed in front of Yin Mo, revealing a yellow-haired old man who seemed to be in the middle stage of Jindan. On his chest was an image of a small golden sword, which was the symbol of the law enforcement officer.

The old man flew over from a distance, obviously aware of the amazing momentum that Yin Mo had just released.

Although he knew that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator here, he had no choice but to come here because of his duty.

But when he saw Yin Mo standing quietly in the middle of the street, he immediately clasped his fists and said:
"I am Wu Fei, the law enforcement officer of Tiantian City. I don't know why you are angry. What advice do you have for me?" The law enforcement officer was naturally very polite in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Nothing. I just passed by here and heard that the shop owner in your city was dissatisfied with our Luoyun Sect, so I wanted to ask this fellow Taoist to say it again in front of me."

Yin Mo put his hands behind his back and said coldly.

"Ah! The shopkeeper must have said something wrong. How dare the three of them offend the senior? Why don't you three go over and apologize."

The old man felt a headache after hearing what Yin Mo said.

Matters like this involving the reputation of a sect are complex and difficult to handle.

He first said a word of comfort, then immediately frowned and rebuked the shopkeeper and his two companions.

Yin Mo had already withdrawn his spiritual pressure, causing the three men to finally crawl up from the ground trembling.

When the shopkeeper heard the old man's words, he said with a pale face:
"Senior, that was just a slip of the tongue. I definitely didn't mean to be disrespectful to your clan."

"I was the one who damaged this Fire Cloud Talisman. I am willing to give up the compensation as an apology."

Yin Mo frowned after hearing this, and the expression on his face became even gloomier.

"Do you think I'm standing here to take advantage of you?"

"Let me see if the Fire Cloud Talisman in your box is made by a true master."

"If it's true, I will compensate you for your spirit stones on behalf of the disciples in the sect. But if it's not, haha!" Yin Mo sneered.

"There's no need for you to check it, Senior. This Fire Cloud Talisman is just an ordinary talisman. I am willing to admit my mistake."

The shopkeeper answered tactfully and admitted his mistake without waiting for Yin Mo to check the box.

Yin Mo said no more and just glanced at the law enforcement officer next to him.

The old man saw the situation and immediately knew what to do. He bowed slightly and said:

"Please rest assured, senior. I will deal with this shop owner's misconduct seriously and will give you an explanation."

"In that case, you can handle it. I don't have time for such trivial matters."

Yin Mo finished speaking calmly, and suddenly appeared beside Sun Huo with a flash of yellow light, and the two of them disappeared from the spot.

The monks nearby were all amazed; they rarely saw this kind of magical earth-escaping method.

The old man was relieved, but he turned around and looked at the three shopkeepers who were also relieved, and scolded them coldly:
"Come with me and tell me in detail what just happened. This matter is not over yet."

The shopkeeper's heart tightened when he heard this, and his face turned pale.

……

Behind a secluded and deserted stone house, the figures of Yin Mo and Sun Huo appeared in the yellow light.

"Right here. Take out that half piece of talisman paper and let me see it." Yin Mo glanced at Sun Huo and said.

"Yes, Master!" Sun Huo handed the talisman paper to Yin Mo without hesitation.

Yin Mo took the talisman paper, glanced at it, and then flipped it with his other hand, and found that there was half an extra piece of talisman paper.

Under Sun Huo's stunned gaze, Yin Mo aligned the two pieces of talisman paper and connected them together perfectly without any gap.

The last trace of worry in Sun Huo's heart disappeared, and he kowtowed to Yin Mo again without hesitation.

"Sun Huo pays homage to the master."

Yin Mo's expression remained unchanged. He nodded, and a red light flashed in his hand. The two pieces of talisman paper turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.

Sun Huo was startled, but quickly calmed down.

Seeing how calm he was, Yin Mo was quite satisfied with his determination.

"It seems that you are really the descendant of Sun Ergou."

"But don't rush to call me master. First tell me which generation of his descendant you are?" Yin Mo asked calmly.

"I am the seventh great-great-grandson of my ancestor." Sun Huo answered without hesitation.

"Sun Ergou swore an oath that the Sun family would serve me as their master from generation to generation."

"But due to some special reasons, I was not in Tiannan at that time."

"So your Sun family has never truly been my servant, and I have never provided you with shelter."

"Now that you have entered the world of immortal cultivation as a descendant of the Sun family, the oath you made back then may not be effective."

"But considering the kindness of your ancestors, I can give you two choices."

"First, I will directly give you some benefits, such as elixirs or magic tools, and from then on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other."

"The other way is that if you are willing to inherit the oath of your ancestors and continue to serve me as your master, I will place restrictions on you to ensure that you will not betray me."

"At the same time, I will give you some tasks. There may be some dangers, but I will improve your cultivation, guide you in your practice, and provide you with unexpected benefits. I will not treat you unfairly."

"As long as you have good aptitude, you have hope of forming a pill." Yin Mo raised his lips slightly and said calmly. Sun Huo's mood fluctuated after hearing this. Obviously, these words were beyond his expectations and made him a little confused.

After a while, a look of determination flashed across Sun Huo's face.

"Grandmaster, I..."

"Don't rush to answer. To prevent regrets, wait until the trade fair is over and return to the sect to give me an answer."

"During this period of time, you should think carefully and consider the pros and cons. Come back to me when you are sure."

Yin Mo interrupted Sun Huo and spoke calmly.

"Disciple, I obey your command. Thank you for your understanding, Master!" Sun Huo felt that this was a safer approach and quickly agreed.

"Well, I have other things to do. Think about it on your own."

Yin Mo nodded, his expression relaxed, and then disappeared in the yellow light.

Sun Huo did not leave immediately, but pondered for a while, sighed deeply, and then slowly left.

At this time, Yin Mo had already appeared in front of the attic of his residence. He looked up at the dark night with a strange expression on his face.

Yin Mo stepped into the attic and found Mu Peiling meditating in the hall.

As soon as she saw Yin Mo coming in, she immediately stood up and greeted him with bright eyes, showing her elegant posture.

Yin Mo waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to stand up, and then said:
"You don't have to wait for me when I'm not here in the future."

"I can't go with you during the fair."

"You are free to move. This pair of soul-matching bracelets is prepared for you. Wear one of them on your body."

"If you encounter danger, just inject spiritual power."

"Not only will it form a protective spirit shield, but I can also sense it from a thousand miles away."

Yin Mo took out a pair of azure jade pendants from his body and handed one to her.

"Thank you for the reward, sir!"

Mu Peiling felt a little surprised, a blush appeared on her face, and she answered in a low voice.

She took the jade pendant and tied it around her waist.

Yin Mo asked Mu Peiling to go back to her room to rest, and he went to the second floor of the attic.

Mu Peiling looked at Yin Mo's back, gently touched the jade pendant around her waist, and a complicated expression appeared on her face.

Yin Mo randomly found a bedroom and sat on the bed meditating with his eyes closed.

After a while, he opened his eyes, looked out the window at the night, and whispered to himself:

"The time is almost right. It's time to go visit that person."

Yin Mo stood up and left the bedroom.

He left the attic silently and walked straight to somewhere in Tiantian City.

Not long after, Yin Mo arrived at the building he had visited during the day.

Looking at the three golden words "Jinglong Pavilion" on the door, he touched his chin, glanced inside the dark door, and walked in without hesitation.

"Welcome to our pavilion again, Fellow Daoist Yin! I didn't expect you to arrive on time, exactly at the time we agreed on."

As soon as Yin Mo entered the attic, the whole room suddenly became bright. Master Tianjing was sitting behind the long table, looking at him with a smile.

"Since I took the initiative to invite the real person, how could I be late?"

"It looks like the real person has been waiting for a while. I feel a little embarrassed!"

Yin Mo said calmly, then flicked his sleeves lightly, and an invisible force gently pushed the attic door shut, closing it automatically.

Master Tianjing smiled and said:

"You suddenly mentioned the existence of soul stones during the day, and I couldn't believe it. Is it true?"

After saying this, he narrowed his eyes, looking a little skeptical.

Yin Mo did not answer immediately. Instead, he tapped his storage bag lightly and turned his palm over. A crystal stone the same size as the soul stone during the day appeared. It was green in color and exuded a gloomy aura.

Yin Mo looked at Master Tianjing without saying a word.

"It is indeed true. How many soul stones of this kind do you have, Brother Yin?"

"I am willing to exchange them all. Whether it's spirit stones or materials, just ask, Brother Yin!"

When Master Tianjing saw that Yin Mo had a soul stone of such quality in his hand, a hint of excitement appeared on his face and he couldn't wait to speak.

“Fellow Daoist Tianjing, there is no need to be so anxious. I took out this soul stone, and naturally I planned to trade with you.”

"But before that, I have two questions that I need to ask. As long as Fellow Daoist Tianjing can satisfy me, I will give you this soul stone."

Yin Mo said leisurely, then threw the soul stone in his hand to the other party without hesitation.

Tianjing Zhenren took the soul stone with some surprise, took a look at it, and a look of doubt appeared on his face. He was silent for a moment, then sighed and said:

"You are so generous, my friend. It seems that the question you asked is definitely not simple. But as long as I can answer it, I will definitely satisfy you."

After saying this, he carefully put away the soul stone and regained his composure.

"In that case, I asked directly."

"Excuse me, fellow Daoist Tianjing, do you know anything about Geng Jing?"

"At the trade fair, when I mentioned that I wanted to exchange information for Geng Jing, you looked a little strange. I thought you must know something."

Yin Mo asked bluntly.

"Yes, I do know a little bit about Geng Jing."

“But the news was not certain, so I did not disclose it at the trade fair.”

"If you really want to know, I can tell you."

Zhenren Tianjing showed no surprise on his face and replied slowly.

"Even if the news is uncertain, I still want to hear it. Fellow Daoist Tianjing, please tell me." Yin Mo said with a smile.

"In fact, you will know in a few days."

"I have a friend who works at an auction house, and he told me that the auction house might auction off a piece of Gengjing."

"But the owner of Gengjing seems to be still considering whether to participate in the auction, so the situation is still uncertain."

"But if it is really auctioned, the sword-cultivating sects will definitely bid for it."

"However, fellow Daoist, your chances may not be great." Taoist Master Tianjing said.

"A three thousand year old red essence ganoderma can be sold for 100,000 spirit stones. Geng essence, which is rarely seen in hundreds of years, is naturally more expensive."

“But I don’t have extravagant expectations. Although I am rich, there is still a big gap compared to the entire sect.” Yin Mo smiled and sighed.

However, he adjusted his mentality and said calmly:
"Anyway, thanks for telling me in advance."

"So I can prepare some spirit stones. Also, do you know who the owner of Geng Jing is? I want to visit him in advance."

"I don't know the details, I only know that he is a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Nine Nations Alliance, and currently lives in a small mountain outside the west gate." (End of this chapter)
