When the morning came, the disciples of the Love Sect once again headed out to cause trouble.
They had caused trouble yesterday, but it wasn’t nearly enough to obtain the information that they wanted.
Everyone had been cautious yesterday, so they hadn’t caused enough trouble to incite the other sects to do something to them.
Though in Xiao Ming’s case, it was Huang Xie who stopped her before she could do anything. Huang Xie was the one that took over the situation before she could act and had caused less trouble than her.
Perhaps if he had left matters to her, then they would have been able to force the Iron Head Sect to give them some information. But Huang Xie and Yu Huang both preferred that this situation over her causing more trouble.
They knew that the trouble that Xiao Ming caused definitely wouldn’t be simple.
So it was better if she didn’t cause any trouble.
This time, they headed out in a group.
They had split up yesterday so that they could explore Dragon Beard City, but there was no need for that today. With the exploration that they had done yesterday, everyone had a good idea of where to go to cause trouble.
They went back to the same market that Xiao Ming’s group had visited yesterday.
Huang Xie had a relieved look on his face since his master had stopped Zhao Ling Jun from following him.
Zhao Ling Jun had wanted to go with them, but Lin Fan had stopped her in the end.
He said that she had to do some special training, so he didn’t let her go with them.
Though Zhao Ling Jun seemed unwilling, she had no choice but to listen to Lin Fan since he was the sect master and her temporary master. Until she found a permanent master, Lin Fan was in charge of helping guide Zhao Ling Jun’s cultivation.
What he was actually planning to do was slip her the elixirs that she needed to awaken her physique.
But of course, he would do it slowly.
If she was to awaken her physique all of a sudden, there was no doubt that she would attract a lot of attention. It wouldn’t just be the attention of the other sects that she attracted, it would be the attention of the demonic cultivators as well.
So Lin Fan was planning on letting Zhao Ling Jun and Zhao Kuang break through after going back to the Love Sect.
For now, he was just using elixirs to slowly awaken their physiques, so they could be stronger when they woke their physiques.
Though part of it was also because they were simply too weak to follow the Love Sect group right now. They were here on business, so it wasn’t as if they could just bring Zhao Ling Jun who didn’t have any cultivation along.
Once they arrived at the market, the place that they went to was the jade market.
That was the place that everyone had gathered in.
There weren’t many treasures that could be found in this Dragon Beard City, but this jade market was one of those places. Since there were jade mines that were near Dragon Beard City, there was a supply of jade stones provided to this market.
The way that the jade stones were being sold was through jade gambling.
These disciples from the sects were all gambling on cutting jade open.
After all, jade wasn’t just a precious material.
In the cultivation world, there was a chance that there would be a special jade that contained spiritual energy inside of these stones. These special jades would either help one with cultivating, have some kind of special power, or could be used to craft a special artifact.
In short, there was a chance that they might win a treasure by gambling on jade cutting.
That was why all of the disciples were gathered in this place.
There were many disappointed cries that were coming from the inside of the jade market.
It was clear that no one had been able to get anything good with the way that the disappointed cries came from inside of the jade market. It seemed that the chances of getting something good from jade gambling really was low.
Though this was something that everyone should have known already.
The reason why they still went for the jade gambling was because there was nothing else that they could do while they were waiting for the Demon Slaying Conference to start.
From time to time, there were the sounds of complaint that came from the inside of the jade market.
There were some people that couldn’t hold back their anger at the fact that they were getting nothing but duds. Once they lost control of their anger, the one that they took this out on was naturally the ones that sold the uncut jade.
However, nothing ever escalated because of the amount of people that were here.
If they were to cause a commotion, then there was no doubt that someone would step in since there were plenty of disciples that were here. They were all disciples of the various sects, so they didn’t want to fight each other unless they had to or they were instructed to cause trouble.
After what happened on the first day, it seemed like many people were more restrained.
After the Love Sect group arrived, there were some people that recognized them.
It wasn’t just Huang Xie who was recognized, the other disciples of the Love Sect were also recognized.
That was because they were the ones that had caused trouble all over the city yesterday. It would be strange if people didn’t remember them since they had stood out quite a bit on the first day.
But the Love Sect group didn’t cause any trouble with the people that were staring at them.
That was because they were all surprised by what Huang Xie said.
“Let’s go jade gambling.”
All of them looked at him with the same surprised look since they didn’t think that Huang Xie was someone that bought into this kind of stuff. They all thought that Huang Xie was someone who was steady and calm and not someone that would fall for something as unstable as jade gambling.
Huang Xie felt a trace of bitterness in him as well since this wasn’t his idea.
Before leaving, Lin Fan had pulled him aside and said to him, “Go and try the jade gambling. You’ll be able to cause trouble that way.”
Huang Xie had been completely confused by Lin Fan’s suggestion, but he had asked, “Master, is there something that I should be looking for?”
After all, he thought that Lin Fan would have some kind of special information for him on how to pick the uncut jade.
However…
“Just go with your instincts and pick the ones that seem good to you.” Lin Fan had said with a confident smile on his face.
That had just made Huang Xie even more confused.
But since Lin Fan was his master, he could only follow his orders.
So that was why Huang Xie made this suggestion.
Xiao Ming had been there when Lin Fan gave these instructions to Huang Xie, so she knew why Huang Xie had suddenly said this.
Though she didn’t understand why Lin Fan gave these instructions to Huang Xie either, she didn’t make it hard on him.
“Let’s just go with it and see what happens.” Xiao Ming suddenly said while everyone stood there with confused looks on their faces.
Huang Xie looked at her with a grateful look, but Xiao Ming turned away when he looked at her like this. It was almost as if she was still unhappy with him about something.
That caused a bitter smile to appear on Huang Xie’s face, but there was nothing that he could say.
Since even Xiao Ming said this, everyone went along with it in the end.
Huang Xie led them through the market where they started looking at the uncut jades that were placed there. However, it wasn’t as if any of them actually knew what they were supposed to be looking for when it came to picking out uncut jade.
So they just awkwardly followed Huang Xie along as he walked through this market.
It was the same for Huang Xie since he had no idea what he was supposed to be doing.
At first, he tried looking carefully at the uncut jade to see if there was anything special about them. He didn’t want to let his master down, so he tried his best to see if there was something special about these jades.
But he couldn’t see a single thing different about them.
All of them looked like smooth stones to him that didn’t seem to have any difference.
So Huang Xie just gave up on that idea.
He had no idea what to do, but his master had told him to pick randomly…
In the end, Huang Xie just completely gave up on thinking and started choosing random uncut jades to process.
He didn’t know what would happen, but it wasn’t as if his master would lie to him.
As soon as the first uncut jade was cut open, there was a sudden burst of spiritual energy that appeared. This wave of spiritual energy swept across the entire jade market and caught everyone’s attention.
After all, this wave of spiritual energy was an indication that a treasure was about to appear.
“That’s the jade that I was going to pick, you stole it from me!”
