Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 748: Chapter 748: The Grandeur of the Mysterious Thunder, Xue Xiang Strikes (Second Update)

Just as Xiao Dan City had said, Profound Thunder City was indeed bustling.

The wide streets were packed with pedestrians, and the shops lining both sides were bustling, their cries of vendors selling their wares incessant.

“Heavenly Thunder Technique, premium Immortal Law, now slashing prices with tears, only for five Immortal Crystals!”

“Rouge Pearl Grass, nearly a shape-shifting plant spirit, take it home and nurture it for a hundred years, and you will raise a delicate woman. When the time comes, she will repay your nurturing with tear droplets, creating a beautiful tale. How wonderful, right? You ask for the price, it’s not expensive, only fifty Immortal Crystals! Limited to one day only, don’t miss out!”

“Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords, sun and moon essence wheels, now selling at rock-bottom prices! These are Immortal Artifacts inherited from the ancient Emei Sect. You can’t go wrong with buying, don’t miss out on these deals as you pass by!”

“Ancient Immortal Gates, ancient Immortal Gates, the largest sect, Xihe Palace has gone under. That bastard sect leader squandered in food and fun, owing thirty or fifty thousand Immortal Crystals and then ran away with the little junior sister. We have no choice but to use Spiritual Artifacts to compensate for our salary. Originally costing a hundred or two or three hundred, now all going for just twenty! That bastard sect leader, you’re not human. We’ve slaved away for you for half a year, you don’t pay the salary. Give us back our hard-earned money! Give us back our hard-earned money!”

Not only that, but further down the street, a Cultivator was stripped to the waist, hacking at himself with several Spirit Swords, and with every chop, spectators would throw in bits of scattered Immortal Crystals.

Next to him was an even more extreme fellow, who set up a huge Pill Furnace right by the roadside. Right now, the furnace was blazing with fire, and this brother, having shed his top, wearing only a pair of trousers, gave a fist and palm salute to the surrounding onlookers.

“Brothers and sisters, dear friends, as the saying goes, at home rely on your sect, abroad rely on friends. I’ve fallen on hard times here today without money or provisions, and I’ve got no special skills. So today, I’ll perform ‘Refining Self with a Pill Furnace’ for everyone. If you find it enjoyable, don’t forget to give a reward and show your appreciation!”

As he spoke, he then crawled into the Pill Furnace.

Boom!

Applause thundered throughout the crowd.

And many threw down large Immortal Crystals.

Listening to these cries of merchandise, looking at the bustling scene before him, Xue An couldn’t help but laugh speechlessly.

And An Yan was so startled that she blurted out, “Husband, why does this feel like a marketplace on Earth?”

“That’s exactly what it is! All these things are pretty much the same as vegetables in the end!”

Xiao Dan City laughed, “Madam Teacher, Master Xiao is right. And it’s not just Profound Thunder City like this—across the Central Region, many Loose Cultivators conduct this kind of business, making a living from it!”

“But still…” An Yan always felt this scene was somewhat incongruous.

Xue An patted An Yan on the head gently and said with a smile, “These Cultivators are also people, no choice, they’ve got to eat, right?”

Saying so, he threw a top-grade Immortal Crystal into the fray.

The fellow seated in the Pill Furnace saw this and his eyes lit up, he gave a fist and palm salute to Xue An.

“Thanks, friend! I wish you smooth Cultivation, free of disaster and difficulty, and may you become a Golden Immortal soon!”

Since Xue An was currently practicing ‘Returning to Simplicity,’ his aura alone didn’t give away his Cultivation Level, hence the Cultivator paid him this compliment.

After all, to these average Cultivators, a Golden Immortal was already an extremely powerful being.

No matter where you placed one, they could be called a local strongman.

Even in the Central Region, one could be a Guest Elder in one of those sects.

Xue An smiled and then led An Yan and the others towards the center of the city.

Along the way, the two little girls’ eyes weren’t enough to take it all in, glancing left and right, interested in everything.

Xue An didn’t stop them; these two little girls had been cooped up in the Magic Treasures Pavilion for quite some time and were bored enough.

This time, with some excitement to see, he let them have a good time.

At this moment, An Yan saw a shop by the roadside selling various jewelry and walked in with some excitement to have a look.

Xue An glanced over and saw two little girls playing merrily at a street vendor’s stall selling children’s toys.

He casually set up a protective array for the two of them, then walked into the shop.

But just then, a slick and shiny Three-Eyed Golden Retriever bounded onto the street.

All who saw it were startled and scurried out of the way.

Only the two little girls continued playing by the stall, completely unaware of the dog.

At that moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Retriever, brazen and brash, rushed to a nearby snack stall and gulped down most of the snacks with one bite.

The vendor, merely a Heavenly Being cultivator who made his living selling snacks, was furious when he saw a dog devour most of his goods, but after seeing the collar around the golden retriever’s neck, he was too scared to utter a word.

The Three-Eyed Golden Retriever, after a few satisfying bites of the snacks, contentedly turned to leave and then noticed Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian standing not far away.

The two little girls had pure auras, and despite being concealed by An Yan’s illusions, the Three-Eyed Golden Retriever, adept at breaking through any illusion, could see their true forms.

And to make matters worse, when the creature caught sight of the Sea Demon Blood Bead hanging around their necks, it began to drool with greed.

Its favorite thing was to swallow various kinds of spirit stones and jewels.

And the taste of the Sea Demon Blood Bead was something it had never encountered before, naturally stirring its desire.

So it charged at them.

Hum!

A soft hum sounded, and a white light appeared around the two little girls, blocking the Three-Eyed Golden Retriever’s advance.

It was the very protective array Xue An had set up.

But at that moment, a dark light flickered suddenly in the third eye of the creature, and as the white light shifted, it managed to slip through quite easily.

This was the miraculous ability of the Three-Eyed Golden Retriever; its eyes could mimic various auras to deceive protective arrays.

The two little girls, awakening from their excitement of discovering new toys, turned around to find an enormous dog charging at them.

Nian Nian, who was closest, screamed in fright when the Three-Eyed Golden Retriever rushed up. Its massive body immediately made her stumble and fall to the ground.

Then the creature opened its mouth, ready to swallow the Sea Demon Blood Bead necklace hanging from Nian Nian’s neck.

Frightened, Nian Nian’s little face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled.

Just then, Xiang Xiang, standing nearby, couldn’t stand it any longer.

Though she always called her sister “silly Nian Nian” or “stupid Nian Nian,” it was her sister; no one else could bully her, not even a finger touch was allowed, let alone being knocked to the ground.

So, in an instant, Xiang Xiang’s little face set firm, and she kicked out at the last possible moment.

Bang, her kick sent the creature flying several steps back.

In pain, it bared its teeth fiercely at Xiang Xiang.

Undaunted, Xiang Xiang reached for the miniature flat-pan necklace given to her by Xue An, twirled it in the breeze, and it morphed back into its original form as a magical artifact (Xiang Xiang had grown up and found the artifact’s command word too embarrassing, so she had Xue An remove it!).

She then stepped forward and swung the pan down hard.

“That’ll teach you to bully my sister!”
