Chapter 52: His Father Must Be Greedy!

The Shadowless Cloak had been specifically requested by Sun Ye to be sent from the sect. Normally, such an expensive spell, whose effects were not immediately apparent, wouldn’t find a market in a small place like Silver Moon Market. But Sun Ruoxin had shown interest in this spell a long time ago.

However, at five middle-grade spirit stones, the price was steep. Even with internal discounts, Sun Ye had hesitated to buy it for his daughter. Now, with Ye Chen, Sun Ye had decided to have the sect send the spell and test the waters.

If Ye Chen bought the spell and gifted it to Sun Ruoxin, all the better. If he didn’t, it wouldn’t be a problem. The delivery personnel could just take it back. There was no risk involved.

Ye Chen, however, was genuinely interested in the Shadowless Cloak. This was a life-saving spell, after all. And this was just the basic version. Once he got a tenfold or fifteenfold amplification, wouldn’t that make it overpowered?

Seeing Ye Chen’s interest, Sun Ye immediately added, “This is a spell my daughter highly recommends. Back when she and I were in Green Cloud City, she was already very interested in this spell. But it was too expensive. You won’t regret buying this spell. The cultivation world is far from safe. Even Silver Moon Market is no exception. Even though it’s peaceful now, things may change in the future. Having this spell could save your life when the time comes.”

Ye Chen didn’t pay much attention to Sun Ye’s mention of Sun Ruoxin wanting it. Who doesn’t want a free treasure?

Wait, what was he talking about? Silver Moon Market was not safe?

Sun Ye was a steward of Green Cloud Shop. With Green Cloud Sect’s backing, he was well-connected and privy to information. Could it be that something was going to happen to Silver Moon Market? If that were the case, Ye Chen would need to leave early to avoid trouble.

“Senior, are you saying that something’s about to happen in Silver Moon Market?”

Hearing this, Sun Ye glanced at Ye Chen, a faint smile curling at the corners of his lips. “If you buy this Shadowless Cloak, I’ll tell you,” he said with a sly tone. “This is important news. You definitely won’t regret it.”

Ye Chen didn’t hesitate for a moment. “Five middle-grade spirit stones, right? I’ll buy it.” He had already planned on purchasing it anyways. Without a second thought, he pulled out a handful of lower-grade spirit stones.

Sun Ye’s mood brightened considerably. He counted the spirit stones, handed over the spell, and completed the transaction with a light chuckle. “Well, the old ancestor of the Mo family is almost 150 years old now. Unless a miracle happens, it won’t be long before he passes away. He hasn’t shown up in Silver Moon Market for three years now, so things aren’t looking too good. And once the old ancestor of the Mo family is gone, and if the family head hasn’t reached Foundation Establishment, how could they possibly keep control over such a large establishment as Silver Moon Market? When that happens, it’s bound to get chaotic.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed immediately. The Mo family’s ancestor was going to die? In this world, it seemed that the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was only around 150 years. If the Mo family’s ancestor really died, and there was no new Foundation Establishment cultivator to take his place, the situation would certainly descend into turmoil.

Opportunists would be plentiful, and once the Mo family was in disarray, they wouldn’t be able to protect themselves. If Silver Moon Market lost its order, being the notorious simp that he was, Ye Chen would surely become a target for many.

The danger immediately spiked in Ye Chen’s mind. He needed to accelerate his cultivation. With his current cultivation at the fifth layer of Qi Refining, he was still far from strong enough. And beyond just his cultivation, he needed to prepare more methods.

Ye Chen immediately asked, “Are there any other spells?”

Hearing this, Sun Ye’s eyes lit up. He promptly took out another spell and introduced it. “This is Zen Mind Qi Observation. It’s far more powerful than the ordinary Qi Observation technique and incredibly useful. Because, in the cultivation world, for some time now, a trend has emerged: Many people enjoy cultivating spells that hide their cultivation fluctuations.”

“You might think someone is at the seventh level of Qi Refining, only to find out they’re actually at the eighth level. You might think a person is a mortal, but in fact, they’re a cultivator. And this Zen Mind Qi Observation can see through common concealment techniques and reveal a person’s true cultivation level.
