Chapter 2378

For Zhu Yanyi, the Suiyuan Pharmacy and this lawless zone were her entire world. Though no one knew yet that this place had a master.

The immortal bird arrived early the next morning. Zhu Yanyi checked the items in her storage ring, smiled slightly, and thought the Immortal Emperor’s gift was generous. It contained plenty of medicinal herbs and immortal jade.

For the next while, Zhu Yanyi continued her "bandit" work. But now, she always scanned the cargo first to ensure no one was inside before taking it. Fortunately, no one appeared in the goods she took. She waited until everyone was unconscious, opened the cargo, took what she needed, and left the rest. The chance of finding someone inside was very small.

After two months, Zhu Yanyi realized she had accumulated many useless items. She decided to go out and see if she could sell them.

"I plan to go into the city tomorrow to find a way to sell these goods. You stay here. I will also look into the Leng family’s situation," Zhu Yanyi told Leng Manshuang and the other three.

"Master, don’t worry. We won’t go out randomly," Leng Manshuang said seriously.

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "Without my permission, you can’t leave anyway. This is my territory. You need my agreement to leave."

She didn’t hide this fact. She told them directly.

Leng Yunyan looked regretful. "Master, can’t I go with you to the city?"

"Not now. Maybe later. I will take you out when there is a chance," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

Leng Yunyan knew it wasn’t a good time for her to go out. "Then, when you come back, can you bring me some local snacks from the city?"

"Of course, no problem," Zhu Yanyi smiled. She was also curious about the local snacks in the nearby city.

The next day, Zhu Yanyi set off for Chengli. The nearest city to this lawless zone was Huacheng, belonging to the Xifeng Region.

Huacheng lived up to its name. As soon as Zhu Yanyi entered the city gate, she saw buildings on both sides wrapped in various immortal flowers.

In the Immortal Realm, it was spring all year round. Flowers bloomed all year without withering. The whole city seemed to be in bloom.

Although the flower seeds weren’t special, Zhu Yanyi liked the atmosphere. She understood why this city belonged to the Xifeng Region. The land here was truly abundant.

To get accurate news, the best place was always a restaurant or teahouse.

Zhu Yanyi chose a teahouse and walked in.

The teahouse was crowded. The first floor was full. Zhu Yanyi went to the second floor. It was also busy, but there were a few empty seats. However, these seats required sharing a table.

"Miss, why not share a table with us?" A young man said. But there was a hint of calculation in her eyes. Zhu Yanyi didn’t like that feeling.

"Miss, come sit with us instead." A charming woman said. She was beautiful, or rather, seductive. Her every move carried an indescribable charm. She didn’t look like a normal female cultivator.

Zhu Yanyi scanned the room. She walked to an old man. "Elder, may I have the honor to share your table?"

The old man looked at Zhu Yanyi and nodded. "Sit."

Zhu Yanyi sat down. She didn’t disturb the old man. She ordered a pot of the city’s special flower tea and some flower cakes. She ate and drank slowly.

"Have you heard? The bandit One Cloud is dead." People downstairs started talking.

"One Cloud is dead? You’re talking nonsense. No one here has ever seen One Cloud. If you were dead, I’d believe One Cloud is still alive." Someone disagreed.

"What do you know? One Cloud offended the Leng family. The Leng family’s weapons are famous in the Immortal Realm. They said anyone who kills One Cloud can get a top-grade immortal artifact forged by their ancestor. So many people are hunting One Cloud. It’s normal for him to be dead. Who can escape the pursuit of the whole Immortal Realm?"

"That sounds plausible. But honestly, One Cloud is hard to catch. No one has seen the real One Cloud yet."

"Need I say more? One Cloud is too mysterious. No one has seen him."

"True. Do you think One Cloud is a disciple from a famous sect in disguise?"

"Who knows? Anyway, seeing One Cloud rob people sometimes feels satisfying, sometimes painful."

"Stop talking. I was robbed once. He took all five spirit stones I had."

"Haha. In that case, you’re lucky. Only five spirit stones. Not expensive."

"I’m not talking about the price. I mean, why does One Cloud have no sense? Why rob poor people like me?"

"Don’t say that. Robbing is a job. If he skipped you, the bandit profession might disappear."

"But I have to admire One Cloud. He’s really awesome. He even dared to offend the Leng family."

"Maybe One Cloud has a background. He doesn’t fear the Leng family."

The whole teahouse seemed to be talking about One Cloud.

"One Cloud is so powerful. I want to meet him." The seductive woman said.

"Wuer, stop messing around. One Cloud has nothing to do with you. How can you meet her?" The girl next to Wuer was calm. She didn’t agree with Wuer’s behavior.

Wuer glanced at the calm girl. "I said, Leng Jing. You’re from the Leng family. Didn’t you hear? Your family’s goods were robbed."
