169: Chapter 170 Escape!

Of course, Lu Ming's 'splurging' method did attract some envious gazes.

Especially the first few, Song Yuan, Feng Buping, Chu Tianlin, and Zhu Zhengran.

They stared at Lu Ming, their eyes dark and their expressions somewhat unpleasant.

They had witnessed Lu Ming selling items at his stall and knew that he possessed tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

Although their prying had been discovered, and it was possible that Wu Daoren had seen through their intentions to acquire his wealth.

They didn't care in the slightest and did not extinguish the greed in their hearts.

After a few people secretly observed, especially after Foundation Establishment Cultivator Zhu Zhengran's investigation.

They had long since confirmed that this person was only in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment and did not possess any clever Qi concealing secret techniques.

Therefore, they had long regarded the other party's Storage Pouch as their own private property.

They originally thought this person would stop after buying one or two secret techniques, but who knew the other party acted as if he earned money in the black market and spent it in the black market.

The problem was, if he traded for some useful items, that would be fine.

But this person acquired a large number of Demonic Path forbidden techniques that others looked down upon.

What good were those to them?!

Even if they snatched them, it would be useless; they couldn't even sell them!

However, they couldn't stop this scene. If anyone dared to jump out and object, it would cut off the path to wealth for other Fellow Daoists.

These people were not easy to deal with and might even be collectively hated!

So they could only watch helplessly as the other party traded away his Spirit Stones.

How could they be reconciled to this!

However, at this moment, they had already given up the idea of snatching the other party's Storage Pouch.

Even if they got it, it would just be a pile of junk.

But this did not mean they wanted to let this person go!

In their opinion, this Wu Daoren had spent the wealth that rightfully belonged to them.

This was an unforgivable crime, deserving of ten thousand deaths!

But they couldn't act now. Although Demonic Cultivators didn't follow many rules, they didn't dare to be the first to break the regulations.

Once they became the 'early bird,' they had to be prepared to be attacked by the crowd.

For now, they could only endure and kill him to vent their anger after leaving the black market!

Lu Ming, at this moment, had a smiling expression, seemingly unaware.

He leisurely selected the Cultivation Techniques and secret techniques he fancied.

However, the 'Sensing Technique' he was operating caused his spiritual sense to wildly warn him.

He could feel the surging malice from all directions, like towering waves, assailing him.

Lu Ming glanced out of the corner of his eye and paid no further attention.

Only the slight upturn of his lips revealed that he was in a very good mood right now.

The harvest from this trip was even greater than he had imagined.

Not only did he acquire a large amount of 'resources,' solving the problem of constructing Divine Ability seals.

He also gained many useful Demonic Path forbidden techniques.

Once this matter was settled, his main body could Cultivate in peace again.

However, there were also things that were not entirely satisfactory.

He had thought that his display of wealth would draw the envy of others.

After all, since the establishment of the trade fair, Lu Ming was the first person to bring out so many Spirit Stones.

Although he was only in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, tens of thousands of Spirit Stones were still a bit too dazzling.

But precisely because of this, they felt that Lu Ming should not have any extra Spirit Stones left.

And the Cultivation Techniques he bought were, to them, nothing more than a tasteless chicken rib.

Look at the side effects of the backlash; let alone Cultivating them, no one would even want them if they were given away.

This made the Cultivators coveting Lu Ming's Spirit Stones feel bored.

"It seems I've overdone it a bit."

Lu Ming began to reflect, having actually made these greedy fellows feel there was no profit to be made.

By now, besides the first few, only a few newcomers were on the list, which was simply too inappropriate.

And these newcomers on the list should be the ones who sold him secret techniques. It's estimated that they only had impure intentions, but they still made it onto the golden book list!

However, as the saying goes: contentment brings happiness.

Lu Ming didn't ask for too much; having something was better than nothing.

In the end, Lu Ming selected eight Demonic Path forbidden techniques and secret arts.

He pretended not to see those icy gazes and returned to his original seat, feeling satisfied.

The trade fair did not end because of Lu Ming's 'splurging' behavior.

On the contrary, the atmosphere became much more enthusiastic.

Time quietly slipped away.

"This trade fair has concluded. All Fellow Daoists may choose to leave on their own or engage in free trading!"

Kutengzi announced and then turned to leave. The Cultivators in the venue either traded among themselves or departed.

Lu Ming had no intention of lingering here.

Having obtained the benefits, it was time to leave.

Moreover, the black market was likely to become chaotic next.

If he used these Cultivators for his Cultivation, a large number of Cultivators would surely die mysteriously, causing a disturbance.

This couldn't withstand investigation, and he would definitely be suspected.

Even if he wasn't afraid of death with his Clone, no matter how rampant he was, he knew that two fists are no match for four hands.

He wouldn't do anything suicidal!

It's best to slip away first!

Lu Ming quickly exited the sub-space, traversing through the cave system that resembled an ant's nest.

But no matter how much he twisted and turned, under the Sensing Technique, he could still clearly perceive several figures trailing behind him, following closely.

However, Lu Ming didn't pay much attention. After another series of maneuvers, he finally rushed out through an exit.

As soon as he stepped out of the cave, Lu Ming's Qi and blood erupted like a blazing inferno.

Appearing like a flash, he transformed into a crimson rainbow light that shot forth, tearing through the air with sonic booms, and vanished into the sky in the blink of an eye.

"What incredible speed! What kind of escape technique is this?"

"Are they crazy! Using a secret technique that burns Lifespan just like that, aren't they afraid of death!"

Song Yuan, Feng Buping, Chu Tianlin, and Zhu Zhengran chased out, their expressions freezing as they looked at the black dot at the edge of the sky.

No one had expected this person to be so desperate.

Was it really necessary?

Wasn't it just that they wanted to kill him? How did he make the first move himself?

"Are we still chasing?"

Song Yuan looked at the three people beside him, his tone betraying no emotion, as he asked indifferently.

"Chasing what? Who can catch up when he runs so fast!"

Feng Buping retorted sharply, a look of ill humor on his face.

"This person used a secret technique that burns Lifespan. The backlash is not that easy to resist. He'll probably die in some corner!"

"Boring, let's disperse, let's disperse."

Zhu Zhengran also waved his hand, an expression of disinterest on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, Fellow Daoist Chu, Fellow Daoist Zhu, how about we go to my Immortal Cave for a drink?"

Song Yuan sincerely invited them.

"I don't think that's necessary. I've gained a lot from this outing, and I need to go into seclusion for a while."

"I also have some matters to attend to. Let's gather next time!"

The Cultivators all declined Song Yuan's invitation and departed, each transforming into a rainbow light.

Song Yuan watched as their figures completely disappeared, his expression somewhat grave.

A moment later, after confirming that the others had completely left, he quickly took out a flying boat and chased in the direction Lu Ming had departed.

Give up?

No, no, no.

Although this person probably didn't have many treasures left, a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat.

Moreover, once this person ended the secret technique, the terrifying backlash might directly claim his life.

At that time, he would effortlessly inherit this person's legacy. Why not?

Song Yuan's lips curled into a faint smile, thinking himself very clever.

However, this smile did not last long before it abruptly ceased.
