Just after leaving the Market of Jiyun Town, Shen Mo noticed more than a dozen figures trailing him. They were of varying strengths, ranging from the early to late stages of the Qi Gathering Realm. This surprised him somewhat. The first to come after him was surprisingly not Lou Feng, the Spirit Sea Realm expert.
"The top-grade Demon Slaying Sword and the Gold-Thunder Demon Pearl, combined, are worth ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!"
"Many cultivators in the Qi Gathering Realm might not accumulate such wealth even after toiling for more than ten years."
"And I am only at Layer III of the Qi Gathering Realm; no wonder so many people are enticed."
"In their eyes, I must seem like a three-year-old child carrying gold through a bustling market—foolish and conspicuous!"
"Ha! Since they've delivered themselves to my doorstep, they can't blame me for using them to recoup some losses..."
Just as Shen Mo was about to deploy the Soul Refining Flag, he swiftly retracted it.
