"That doesn't make sense, the price of all this should be at most 1 silver coin," Han Min said seriously and with a frown.
"Miss Taonist, excuse me but…"
"Nothing, 10 apples at the market price are 10 copper coins, the meat it has is not of high quality, possibly it is of medium quality, and it is not kept in a maintenance box, so it could rot at any time, that would even reduce its market price of 5 copper coins to 3 copper coins, and I am only buying from you the portions of a day that would be a total of about 45 copper coins "
"In addition, salt is in times of scarcity, normally it is bought in 15 copper coins and only for the season it would rise to 25 copper coins"
"Miss, the batch I am buying is the food section of my cart, which was almost already pre-purchased, if a little of those ingredients were missing, the money would have to be recomposed and that money would come out of my own pocket," the merchant commented haughtily.
"Without my help, you won't be able to fix that cart in time, I'll give you 2 coins which is double what I should pay"
"I- I agree, I'll prepare what you asked for," said the salesman defeated
"Han Min is a different person when it comes to business," Yun said loudly.
"Hehehe, she is our trading princess, the great Han Min," said Luo Ji cheerfully.
"She takes business quite seriously, someone trying to scam her makes her very angry but she always keeps that serious expression, it's part of her charm" commented Xie Yan looking at Yun again with a slight smile but with his eyes off.
"I already missed you" he said turning to Xie Yan with a smile.
"Yun..." he whispered lightly and lowered his head a little.
Han Min started walking towards Yun and company with a bag of groceries.
"Let's eat," said, Han Min
Before preparing the meal Meng Xin suggested that they go to a river to wash and remove the dirt specifically Yun who was not only sweating but also the blood on his clothes left a bad smell that could no longer be ignored.
Everyone agreed, even Luo Ji praised her a bit since she felt all sticky from sweat, so they headed straight to the nearest river that provided water to the sect.
Yun waited for a few meters back so they could clean up well, also because they didn't want Yun to see them, really that wasn't the main reason the real reason was that they wanted to talk a little
"What are you girls planning?" Luo Ji commented out loud
"Being with Yun" they said in unison except for Xie Yan who kept quiet but since they couldn't see each other's faces, it seems as if she had said it too.
'I guess being with Yun, I really like him but... I can't blindly trust' thought Xie yan
"There really isn't much to do or think about, he put a family mark on us because of his trust in us and also because of his fear that we will reveal his secret, plus I really like him and I don't plan to go back to my family to be discriminated against," Han said Min with her cold tone while washing her hair.
"I was expecting that reasoning from the sect leader, not from you."
"Luo Ji, I'm not the sect leader anymore, just call me Meng Xing," she said with a kind smile, before continuing.
"Likewise, even if we don't know Yun's background, it would be interesting to see what the couple's goal is to support their lover."
"But none of them really know Yun's goal," Xie Yan commented.
"In this you are right but over time, while this trust is structured he will not only tell us his objective but we could know more about him just as he will know more about us"
"Meng Xing, Han min don't forget that he doesn't know what dual cultivation is, so the mark is most likely for simple trust not for a cultivation partner, besides I don't know what you're talking about Xie Yan specifically said he wants to experience things" Luo Ji concluded.
After the small hint that Luo Ji hit Xie Yan, the silence reigned again, there was not even a stable environment for hours and they are silent even when they returned when Yun went to shower the silence continued, and while they prepared the food the silence also continuous.
But now there was a little different and that is that now they are constantly watching Yun, he had to choose the destination to which they are going or they would just wander and that is not something they want to do, well in its entirety it is not something they want to do they would prefer to wander with him but not in an open field rather they would prefer a mattress and four walls.
Even if they could tell him perfectly, since more than once he has asked what dual cultivation is, they have never answered him, his innocence is something very tender for them and they simply like to annoy him a little.
But this is not the time for jokes, Yun has to choose their destination where to go and what they will do, it may sound stupid why to think about it right now, but they could perfectly let him do what he wants, that for them yun It's a mystery, they don't know what's going on in that head.
They perfectly see the childish personality of someone who is experiencing the world, and they would not like him to just happen out of the blue to go massacre a town or do some impulsive action.
Sadly they did not know that he had already massacred an entire town.
When they finished eating they literally prepared to go on a trip, they were ready to leave at any moment but that was not what Yun had in mind.
In the battle he ate enough hearts to advance to the next rino, he felt all the negative energies in his body he had to assimilate those energies so they wouldn't harm his cultivation, so he stopped them before they were fully prepared to leave.
"Wait, I need to cultivate right now," He said without giving much information
"???" Everyone's expressions almost formed question marks on top of their heads as they didn't understand why right now they had to cultivate.
Yun watched their gazes and energy more or less why they were looking at him with so much hesitation.
"Right now my body is ready to advance to the next realm, all the…spiritual energy within my body is enough to break through the bottleneck if not all actions right now could be detrimental to me"
"Okay, we'll wait," Meng Xin commented.
"Yun nodded with a smile and started to walk away, to be in a completely quiet place.
Yun decided after 5 minutes of walking in one direction to fully walk away, and sitting in a lotus position, he waited a couple of minutes before starting to cultivate.
Taking a deep breath and then starting to cultivate, Yun could feel all the energies in his abdomen moving madly from side to side revolving around his cultivation core, even if it was a little slow little by little those energies revolving around his core they were entering.
