Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 972 Lei Gang

"Bah! You know perfectly well I've got my eye on this place, and you're deliberately raising the price just to rip me off!" the honest-looking young man gritted his teeth.

"Are you still thinking that if I can't come up with three thousand mid-grade immortal stones, you can sell them to me for two thousand five hundred? Let me tell you, all the mid-grade immortal stones I have on me add up to just over a thousand, and that's all I have!"

The weasel's expression changed, and he thought to himself, "How did he know that my bottom line is 2,500 mid-grade immortal stones?"

But he still wouldn't budge: "Three thousand is three thousand, not a single one less!"

The young man's thick eyebrows furrowed even more, and he pursed his lips, seemingly at a loss, but his gaze remained fixed on the cave, clearly determined to possess it.

Jing Yu watched coldly from the side, thinking to himself, "This young man is far too naive. In this kind of market transaction, the worst thing you can do is to reveal your hand. If you clearly tell the stall owner how many immortal stones you have left, won't you be taken advantage of by that unscrupulous merchant?"

His gaze swept over the honest-looking young man, and just as he was about to look away, a sudden tremor ran through his heart.

Jing Yu focused her attention and examined closely. She saw that between the honest young man and her own navel, there was a thin, almost imperceptible pale golden thread connecting them!

These threads were almost imperceptible; if he hadn't reached the Cave Heaven Realm and further advanced his understanding of the Great Dao of Destiny, he probably would never have been able to detect them.

After all, this causal line is not a solid line, but rather like a gossamer thread swaying in the wind, as if it was just accidentally touched, yet it also seems to contain some kind of nascent connection.

Jing Yu was extremely surprised. He was certain that he had never seen this honest young man before. This person's cultivation was at the early stage of the Cave Heaven Realm, and his foundation was solid, but how could he have any karmic connection with him?

This causal link is so faint and elusive, it's more like... some kind of indirect connection? Or does it foreshadow something?

He casually cast a detection spell on the honest-looking young man, and sure enough, it revealed a destiny star emitting a black light—

【Talent is dull】.

"This……"

Jing Yu suddenly realized: "This person... has a negative destiny? Could it be that he was born after I completed the Great Dao of Destiny when I reached the Nascent Soul stage? Then there is indeed a faint causal connection between us."

Seeing the young man hesitate, the weasel demon cultivator became even more smug and raised his voice even higher: "You want this cave heaven? If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another one! Three thousand five hundred coins! It's three thousand five hundred coins now!"

Upon hearing this, the honest-looking young man's dark face seemed to flush slightly, and his fists clenched slightly, clearly angered. However, he also seemed incapable of arguing, and simply stammered, "You... how could you do this?"

Niu Dahang and Ma Zoutian also noticed the commotion and, seeing Jing Yu's gaze fixed on the young man, looked over as well. Niu Dahang whispered, "These weasels are the most cunning, always preying on newcomers. That young man looks like he just came from a small town and doesn't know the ways of the demon market. He's probably going to suffer in silence."

Seeing the young man speechless with anger, the weasel demon felt it had him firmly under control. It grinned, extending a withered paw to pat the young man's shoulder, feigning friendliness but actually conveying intimidation: "Fellow Daoist, even if a deal falls through, we can still be friendly. But how many people are eyeing this treasure cave..."

The honest-looking young man seemed to dislike being touched and tried to turn away, but the weasel took the opportunity to tug at his sleeve, and the young man instinctively waved his hand to deflect it.

Both sides were quite strong, and the back-and-forth turned into a shoving match.

A cunning glint flashed in the weasel's eyes. It deliberately staggered backward, kicking over several bottles and jars on the side of the stall. The crashing sound attracted more attention.

"Fine! You can't afford it, so you're trying to rob me? These jars contain many precious medicinal herbs, and you'll have to compensate me for them today!"

The weasel shrieked and pounced, its hands seemingly reaching for the young man's clothes.

"stop!"

"Stop using violence in the Demon Market!"

Several demon cultivators around shouted in rebuke, but most of them just watched the spectacle with amusement and had no intention of actually stepping forward to break up the fight.

After all, although fighting is prohibited in the Demon Market, the two cultivators in front of them had only pushed and shoved each other a few times, which did not escalate to the point of fighting, so they naturally would not really intervene.

In the chaos, the weasel's sharp claws suddenly lashed upwards, grabbing the young man's worn-out felt hat and ripping it off!

scoff-

The moment the felt hat was removed from the head, a pure and mellow aura, incongruous with the surrounding demonic energy, filled the air.

That was the pure aura of a human cultivator.

The entire room fell silent.

All the playful, curious, and onlookery gazes froze in an instant, transforming into cold scrutiny, vigilance, and a gradually rising sense of hostility and greed.

Several demon cultivators even subconsciously took half a step forward, their nostrils flaring, and took a deep breath as if to confirm.

The honest-looking young man stood frozen in place, his slightly disheveled black hair peeking out from under his hat.

His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to explain something, and his right hand instinctively reached for the storage bag at his waist. Faint lightning appeared around him—a sign that his true essence was circulating.

The weasel demon was also stunned, its paw holding the felt hat stopped in mid-air. It had obviously not expected that the felt hat was a treasure specially designed to conceal the aura of a human, and that a human was hidden under the felt hat.

But it reacted extremely quickly. Its small eyes darted around, and it immediately jumped back two steps, shrieking, "Human! He's a human! How dare he infiltrate the demon market! Everyone, seize him!"

The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense, like a fully drawn bowstring.

Several powerful divine senses had already locked onto the lone youth without any hesitation, and from the shadows, there could be malicious chuckles and grinding teeth sounds.

In the arena, the young man's Adam's apple bobbed, and he finally uttered in a hoarse voice, "I...I have no ill intentions, I just came to buy the cave!"

But this explanation seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the surrounding demons.

"Heh heh, humans dare to infiltrate my demon realm? And even dare to cause trouble in the demon market! You don't need to buy this grotto-heaven anymore! I'll just dig it out and put it on this stall!"

The weasel laughed loudly and attacked without saying a word.

Fighting between demons is forbidden in the Demon Market, but there is no rule against attacking humans!

brush--

The weasel's sharp claws, carrying a foul stench, were about to grip the honest young man's shoulder.

But the moment the powerful claw struck the youth's shoulder, a burst of blazing white lightning suddenly shot out from his shoulder!

The thunder was extremely powerful and yang, like a silver snake suddenly appearing, instantly darting through the weasel's entire body along its claws.

"Ow!"

The weasel let out a shrill scream, its fur standing on end and wisps of blue smoke rising from it.

It staggered back several steps, its claws charred black, its small, bright eyes filled with horror: "I'm clearly in the mid-stage of the Cave Heaven realm, how could I be injured by a human boy who has just entered the Cave Heaven realm..."

"Pure Yang Thunder Force?!" Among the demon cultivators watching, those with extensive knowledge instantly recognized the lightning bolt erupting from the young man's shoulder.

Just as the demons present were distracted, a demon cultivator at the Cave Heaven Realm secretly circled behind the honest young man and launched a surprise attack, aiming straight for the young man's back!

But the next moment, a bolt of lightning also shot out from the back of the young man's heart!

However, this time the lightning was tinged with black light, and it was a completely opposite kind of pure yang lightning to the previous lightning, a yin lightning that was extremely yin and gentle!
