"Kid, you're not from here, are you? It's fine if you want to earn money in my spot, but you'd be looking down on me if you tried to leave without paying anything." A stage 9 martial artist and a chi gathering peak martial artist stopped Ye Mo.
They had seen Ye Mo earn a few hundred spirit stone very quickly and they got blinded by greed. Moreover, they could tell Ye Mo was a foreigner and he hadn't gotten a stall permit.
A few hundred spirit stones were a huge fortune for chi gathering cultivators. Most of them didn't even have tens of spirit stones because they immediately used them for pills as soon as they got them.
If it had been the outside, Ye Mo would've already killed them. However, he knew he was in the Miao Mountain Market. It was someone else's land. No matter how powerful he was, he had no way but to stay low in the land with a golden core state master.
