At these words, the big man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and took out a card from inside his clothes, saying with a bitter smile, "Young Master Blaze, let's just let this matter go."
Satisfied with the card, withdrawing one thousand gold coins, Blaze Regret glanced at the value of less than a hundred on it, threw the card to the big man, and said, "You still have a place to stay within Veloria City."
"Thank you, Master Blaze."
Cupping his hand, the big man shakily moved towards the outside of the alley. For any spirit practitioner without a background, a thousand gold coins was a deadly sum, but asking him to give up his lifebound spirit beast was out of the question.
"Drip!"
Just as the big man's figure disappeared from view, a strange sound came from inside Blaze Khairul's clothes. A snail sized object was taken out by Blaze Khairul, but apart from a few pearl like objects attached to the inside of the snail, it was already empty.
Sound transmitting snails, the most common means of communication on the Spirit Beast Continent. By dripping a drop of each other's slime into the shell, messages could be exchanged.
Of course, this item consumes a lot of spiritual power, so even some spirit practitioners rarely use it.
"Captain Blaze Khairul, there's trouble over here. The guy from the Snow family is causing trouble for Miss Blaze Qistina. Should we get involved?"
Without waiting for Blaze Khairul's answer, a chilling look passed through Blaze Regret's eyes: "Come with me."
In today's ancient Veloria City market, it was no different from previous days, the streets were still bustling.
In addition to spiritual medicines and spiritual cores of various attributes, at every stall, there might be surprising discoveries, such as powerful spiritual technique, excellent quality spiritual beasts, and even some rare spiritual crystals that some people could find.
More importantly, the prices of items sold at the market were much lower compared to those in the shops, so for some spiritual masters, each market day was an opportunity to improve their strength.
"Wood Spirit Fruit, Wood Spirit Fruit, where are you?"
In front of a stall, Blaze Qistina's gaze carefully scanned through a pile of spiritual medicines, and finally, she couldn't help but pout in disappointment.
The Wood Spirit Fruit, a wood attribute top grade spiritual medicine, mostly grew on the Wood Spirit Tree in the deep mountains. A Wood Spirit Tree usually could only bear nine Wood Spirit Fruits, so even though it was of low rank, it was quite rare.
"Found it!"
Moving to a few more stalls, Blaze Qistina's eyes suddenly lit up. In the corner of that stall, a green fruit was quietly lying there, emitting a faint green fluorescence.
"Boss, how much for this Wood Spirit Fruit?" Blaze Qistina walked over in excitement, pointing to the Wood Spirit Fruit on the stall and asked, her voice slightly hurried due to excitement.
"One fixed price, two hundred gold coins." Seeing Blaze Qistina's eager expression, a hint of cunning flashed in the stall owner's eyes.
"Can't you give me a little discount?" Blaze Qistina bit her red lips and stared at the stall owner with big watery eyes.
"Oh, miss, you don't know how rare this Wood Spirit Fruit is. When we found it, there happened to be a Grandmaster level Dry Grass Python nesting next to the Wood Spirit Tree. We had to put in a lot of effort to kill that Dry Grass Python to get this Wood Spirit Fruit." The stall owner splattered saliva as he described the dangerous scene.
"Fine, I'll pay the two hundred." Hastily avoiding the splattering saliva from the stall owner's mouth, Blaze Qistina reluctantly took out a pouch containing two hundred gold coins and was about to give it to the stall owner.
But suddenly, the Green Vine let out a cry, and its emerald vine rapidly extended, wrapping around the Wood Spirit Fruit.
"Swish!"
However, at that moment, a sharp earth blade shot out, cutting the Green Vine's vine on the spot, and green blood splattered down in droplets.
"Who?" Blaze Qistina's face changed, anger showing on her pretty face.
"Hehe, the Wood Spirit Fruit, a good thing, right boss? It's two hundred gold coins, isn't it?" Beside the half standing Centipede, Snow Feng walked over with a faint smile, casually throwing a pouch in front of the stall owner, about to grab the Wood Spirit Fruit at the corner of the stall.
"Snow Feng, what do you mean by this? I saw it first!" Blaze Qistina angrily shouted. As the Green Vine retreated in pain, five or six emerald vines once again shot out with a crackling sound, piercing into the ground, creating a prison-like structure to protect the Wood Spirit Fruit.
"You saw it first, but I paid first." Retracting his hand, Snow Feng's face was full of provocation. The centipede body spun, and several earth blades again condensed and spun around it.
"I have already discussed with the stall owner." Blaze Qistina remained calm and fearless, staring straight at Snow Feng. Though the green vine had taken a bit of damage, being a wood attribute spirit beast, its healing ability was strong. In a real fight, a third tier green vine still had some chance against a fourth tier centipede.
Although that chance was really small.
"Could it be that the younger generation of the Blaze family is as useless as that waste Blaze Regret, ignorant and arrogant!"
Snow Feng sneered, scanning the surroundings, wanting to see if Blaze Regret was nearby. Previously, the spirit beast released by the elder unexpectedly died, which made him somewhat annoyed. It must have been discovered by the Blaze family's law enforcement team. Otherwise, with the strength of the Earth split Scorpion, tearing apart Blaze Regret would be a piece of cake.
"People from the Snow family have such foul mouths!" Blaze Qistina's face turned slightly cold. The green vine moved, vines danced in the air, then with a sharp sound, violently pierced towards the centipede, the sharp tip shimmering.
"Rock Armor!"
Following Snow Feng's command, the centipede's body stiffened, the earth blades melted, turning into a hard layer of rock armor that quickly covered its whole body. The sharp vines pierced it, splattering a few dazzling sparks.
