Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1531: Chapter 1531: Baidi City

The entry fee for Baidi City is quite considerable, five Spirit Stones per person.

Upon entering, they felt the city’s bustling atmosphere. The brothers had Xiao Tung lead them to the Free Market.

Many messages could be obtained here, and one could also see the basic situation in this area.

The brothers split up, with Qi Hao slowly examining the stalls. There were many ores due to the proximity to the Artifact Sect in the west.

Being of Metal Spirit Root, he had a certain sense for ores.

There wasn’t anything particularly good; after walking for a long time, he stopped at one stall.

Here was a mother and daughter. Their cultivation was low, selling either ores or some old items.

“What do you need, elder?”

Qi Hao nodded, examining the Jade Scrolls one by one. The items here seemed to have been collected by a cultivator.

The Jade Scrolls mainly contained introductions and insights on artifact refining. Qi Hao felt pretty good about them and set aside those he liked.

After reviewing the Jade Scrolls, he also wanted the Artifact Refining Furnace and the hammer. They seemed decent, suitable for him to try. If he learned artifact refining, he wouldn’t have to ask others, since this was his Lifebound Sword.

He chose so many items, pleasing the mother and daughter, as these belonged to the elderly, and now it was only the two of them left with no knowledge of artifact refining. They really weren’t useful and were better traded for other cultivation resources.

“How many Spirit Stones?”

“Three hundred Spirit Stones would be fine, elder.”

She bravely stated the price without asking for more.

Qi Hao tossed them a Storage Bag, storing away all the items he selected.

The mother and daughter didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. Happily, they packed up the stall and prepared to leave. With these three hundred Spirit Stones, they could cultivate for quite some time.

Qi Hao continued browsing, with more focus on the Jade Scrolls this time.

The brothers met at night, with both having some gains.

“Should we stay here for a while?”

“Third brother, what do you want to do?”

“I want to try my hand at artifact refining.”

“Third brother, are the Jade Scrolls from here any good?”

“I plan to try entry-level techniques here; if successful, I’ll go to the Artifact Sect for further learning. If not talented, we’ll stick to our original plan.”

They rented a small courtyard for a month; both needed some rest.

Once in the Array, Qi Hao began studying entry-level artifact refining.

Having reached Core Formation, he could release True Fire. Two days later, he actually made some progress and found artifact refining quite interesting.

Qi Xuan was resting, having suddenly jumped three ranks. Although not unstable, he was still unaccustomed.

Three days later, the brothers met again. Qi Hao showed his brother the piece of iron he had forged.

“Third brother, do you think you have talent?”

“Not sure, but still, once learned, we should forge our Lifebound Swords ourselves.”

Qi Xuan nodded. “Okay, I’ll try too.”

Qi Hao gave all the Jade Scrolls and tools to his brother, while he went to rest.

The brothers met again, both capable of artifact refining.

“Should we return to the Artifact Peak of our sect, or go to the Artifact Sect?”

“How about going to the Artifact Sect? I’ve heard workshop rentals there are quite professional; we should at least perfect our Lifebound swords first.”

In agreement, the brothers went to the task hall to cancel the house lease, unexpectedly getting back some Spirit Stones.

Upon leaving Baidi City, they were stopped by two Golden Core cultivators.

“What do you mean, fellow cultivators?”

“Are you two leaving already?”

“What? Do we need permission to leave?”

“Please cooperate; recently, there was an incident in Qingshui City caused by two male cultivators, so we’re asking for your cooperation.”

“Do you have evidence it’s us? If not, we have no time to comply.”

“Are you two refusing to cooperate?”

Having been pampered from a young age, they had never been treated this way, naturally leading to anger.

“Then excuse us.”

The four got into a fight not far from Baidi City.

The brothers were in a bad mood, so they fought with heavy blows.

The two were at the Golden Core Middle Stage. Initially, they had no intention of killing these cultivators, but their attacks were excessively strong, causing the fight to escalate.

After slaying the two, the brothers quickly tidied up and boarded the Cloud-piercing Boat.

They knew Baidi City would certainly pursue them, but given the situation, they decided to flee first, dealing with interception later.

City Lord Bai, upon receiving the news, angrily smashed a cup.

“It must be those two who acted. Inform the Third Elder, as he’s the only one not in closed-door cultivation now.”

The Cloud-piercing Boat was exceedingly fast, yet it was blocked before leaving the Bai Family’s territory.

The Cloud-piercing Boat was attacked, and the two brothers quickly emerged.

Both stood in the air, facing a lewd-looking old man ahead.

“What do you mean, elder?”

“You two killed people from Baidi City and expect to run away? Leave your lives here.”

“See if you have the ability.” Qi Xuan acted this time, eager to experience battling against a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Qi Hao remained vigilant, and along the journey, they had already planned their approach, even at the Artifact Sect.

Aware the Bai Family wouldn’t give up easily, they weren’t afraid; they’d flee from Divinity Transformation, fight against Nascent Soul.

Learning from Third Brother’s lesson, besides, this Nascent Soul cultivator had initiated with deadly moves. This was now a life-and-death battle.

Their family’s movement technique was formidable, with Spiritual Power and Spiritual Pearls being supplied continuously. Half an hour later, Qi Xuan maintained balance.

“I’ve underestimated you indeed.”

Qi Xuan wanted to end the battle swiftly, yet the opponent’s strength was strong, making victory difficult.

Suddenly remembering a technique taught by their sister, it really worked. Seeing the Nascent Soul cultivator trying to escape, how could that be?

The Thunder Spirit Talisman came out, and the Nascent Soul was instantly reduced to ashes.

Qi Hao quickly collected the Storage Ring and burned everything to dust.

They boarded the Cloud-piercing Boat again, as its speed was fast, allowing them to advance quickly. Although unafraid, constant interception was troubling.

Upon learning the Third Elder’s soul lamp extinguished, the Bai Family Master flew into a rage; two little Golden Core cultivators caused the Bai Family to lose two Nascent Souls—utterly intolerable.

He promptly ordered a shutdown of the Great Elder. The Bai Family’s Great Elder was the Third Elder’s biological brother, upon hearing, said, “Call Second and Fourth, let’s go.” The Bai Family really lost face.

Entering the Artifact Sect, the brothers didn’t stop the Cloud-piercing Boat, knowing the Bai Family wouldn’t relent. They wished not to disturb their elders, already mapped the route, planning to head into the Tianshan Mountain Range, prepared to engage in attrition with the Bai Family.

Upon reaching the entrance to the Tianshan Mountain Range, they weren’t in a hurry to enter.

“Third brother, the Bai Family has probably sent more men this time.”

“Let them come, it’s a good practice.”

“We can’t afford to embarrass ourselves, or it’d be too shameful.”
