7 - Why don't you buy more?

"We shouldn't repeat that," Xu Qing said as she was wrapped in Meng Hao's thick arms, her calm breathing felt on his chest reassuring him. Antony was a man of few relationships and more of one-night stands, but like Meng Hao he tasted a tender and comforting feeling from being embraced by Xu Qing.

"You're right, we should continue, if you felt pain every time, it would be torture for me." Meng Hao laughed in a mocking tone as Xu Qing pinched her ribs, which were wrapped in muscle and rock-hard skin but in front of her was made of paper. Meng Hao groaned in pain and pinched Xu Qing's round ass and she also moaned in pain and pleasure.

"Big sister with a bad memory, remember what I said? There will be no one in heaven and earth who can separate us." Xu Qing blushed and Meng Hao smiled. "I will love you forever big sister, you are the greatest treasure I have held in my hands since I became a cultivator."

"You are also my greatest treasure, younger brother Meng" Xu Qing kisses Meng Hao's lips and they continue to talk about their days, feelings, cultivation, and even certain secrets.

"I've killed many to get where I am, big sister Xu, I wouldn't mind killing even Chen Fan or the old patriarch"

Meng Hao and Xu Qing spent the night and morning, when noon arrived and she needed to return to the Inner Sect, Meng Hao accompanied her along the way, passing through the entire Outer Sect, in the process, they continued to talk and even They laughed as they both held hands like lovers and enjoyed that moment together.

Senior Sister Xu was like a tiger skin, which, when worn while walking around the Outer Sect, would immediately attract attention. When the Outer Sect disciples saw Senior Sister Xu walking with Meng Hao, strange expressions filled their faces. This was especially true of those who had purchased medicine from Meng Hao that day. Hatred flourished and then was contained.

As for those with higher-level cultivation bases, they didn't know what had happened on the plateau, but they still recognized Meng Hao and surmised that he was not someone to be trifled with.

But the biggest event of the day was Meng Hao and Xu Qing holding hands and laughing like fools in love. The estrangement and emotional containment broke down into envy followed by hatred and indignation. Meng Hao practically extorted cultivators below the third level of qi condensation and took their spiritual stones in exchange for his own life, but here he was taking Elder Sister Xu's heart like an audacious thief who doesn't mind stealing Kings and Emperors. Why didn't he ask for spiritual stones from his own girlfriend!?

Xu Qing, as a good lover and a person who knows how to pay her debts, took Meng Hao to the Outer Sect's Cultivation Pill Store and bought half of the pills Meng Hao used to extort those in the Public Area for half the price, since she was one of the only 2 inner disciples in the Sect. Meng Hao like a good lover bought the remaining pills at half price and gifted Xu Qing a cosmetic cultivation pill, which maintained cultivators' youth as a permanent fixer. The loss of the sect's cultivation pill store was gigantic and it will take a long time to replace the loss but Meng Hao doesn't care as he knows the future of the Reliance Sect.

As Meng Hao approached the Inner Sect locations and Xu Qing's immortal's cave, he pulled her into the trees and bushes and kissed her tenderly and lovingly, she kissed him back and they said goodbye. Xu Qing, upon entering the cave, smiled foolishly like a little girl in love and thought about how Meng Hao went from a dominant and caring man to a romantic scholar and that his understanding of cultivation was deeper than hers, she remembered how everyone looked at him and even heard the words: "The Killer, the God of death takes the fairy pure and immaculate, they get married and the fairy becomes the killer's prisoner, this only proves how unfair the heavens are to us" She smiled and to the future, a luxurious and beautiful wedding, with Meng Hao dressed as the groom and she as the bride. Xu Qing was unable to cultivate that night due to the wave of thoughts about their future.

Meng Hao thought of older brother Wang Tengfei and how he was able to hover seven inches above the ground and his heart beat even faster. "He is strong, if I want to tame him and take him for myself, it will be difficult with that cultivation above the fifth level of qi condensation and with his Wang clan tricks, he is stronger than normal" He went to the Public Area in search of spiritual stones and continued the original route, out of instinct he knows that his relationship with Xu Qing will make his plans even more difficult until the end of the first book and his power is gigantic, with so much spiritual energy he is invincible in the realm of qi condensation but above he is just a cockroach with a harder shell than normal. Cao Yang is one of the triggers for the culmination of the Patriarch Reliance arc and Antony is in a hurry to get a taste of Tengfei, sex with Xu Qing was the best feeling he has ever tasted in two lives and he imagined what it would be like with a man who has muscles all over his body.Meng Hao licked his lips when he thought of Tengfei and his body. Soon, the plateau appeared in front of him and he rushed forward. Looking like a humble scholar, he sat cross-legged on the stone. More and more Cultivators appeared, including some who were not present the day before. The sounds of battle filled the air, along with blood-curdling screams.

Meng Hao surveyed the scene, trying to pick out his first potential customer of the day. He then noticed that in another part of the Public Area a man was carefully making his way through the crowd. Once again the hunter's smile carved his scholar's face and some who noticed and knew the meaning of the smile, trembled with fear and anxiety took over them. The Cultivator walked slowly, looking around. Suddenly, his gaze fell on Meng Hao and his body trembled. He stopped walking.

This was Meng Hao's first customer the day before. He personally witnessed Meng Hao knock down his opponent and then act timidly. He hadn't expected him to come back today, but there he was.

"How is he still here? This swindler! His products are simply too expensive!" The Cultivator felt hatred and fear. Sighing, he was about to leave, when his eyes suddenly caught sight of an overly proud disciple entering the Public Area.

"It's Cao Yang… He's at the peak of the second level, just one step away from the third. His cousin Lu Hong is the number one disciple in the Low Level Public Area. Thanks to him, Cao Yang can intimidate people and use despicable tactics to hurt people during the fight." People get angry but don't say anything. If it were anyone else, people would have ganged up against him a long time ago .

"He didn't show up yesterday, so things went relatively well. Today will be good." The Cultivator moved a little closer, convinced that Cao Yang would end up provoking the guy from the Cultivation Pill Shop. Considering he hated them both, he eagerly craved their misery.

Some of the nearby fighters spotted Cao Yang and their expressions changed. They quickly walked away, afraid of incurring the bully's wrath.

Cao Yang coldly snorted. He was tall, strong and stocky. His cold and hard gaze was intimidating, as if the Low Level Public Area was his own backyard. Other than two or three people he didn't want to mess with, he despised everyone. Frowning, he wondered why he hadn't seen his good friend Zhao Wugang lately. This soured his mood, so he started looking for a newbie to steal medicinal pills.

Then, his gaze fell upon Meng Hao and the large flag raised beside him.

At first he barely noticed him. But then he saw the jubilant Cultivator watching from a distance and his interest was piqued.

"Go, go, quickly," said the Cultivator softly. He suddenly realized that watching the fight was much more interesting than participating in it.

Perhaps his mutterings had some effect, because Cao Yang rolled his eyes and then walked over to Meng Hao. People ran to get out of his way.

Meng Hao sat on the stone, looking as resolute as ever, preparing to sell his medicines. But upon seeing Cao Yang approaching, he realized that he would not be able to achieve his goal. He raised his head, feeling a bit of hunter happiness.

He started the conversation with: "Brother, it is our second day of business. All pills are in stock and each one is essential for battle. Would you like to buy some?"

Cao Yang glanced at him, but was unable to estimate his cultivation base. If a person's Qi Condensation level is below seventh, then unless they intentionally emit spiritual energy, their cultivation base will become immobile and it will be impossible to see how powerful they are. Only at the seventh level of Qi Condensation does he become visible to others.

Therefore, he had no way of knowing Meng Hao's level if he tried, having such a large reserve of spiritual energy gave him almost unnatural control over his own spiritual energy.

"When I buy things, I don't need to spend money. Hand over all your medicinal pills and Spirit Stones. If you delay, I will break your neck." His eyes sparkled and his tone was utterly strong and domineering. After all, this was the Low Level Public Area and everyone here revered him. His cousin was Lu Hong. To him, Meng Hao was nobody. Meng Hao in turn looked at Cao Yang as if he were dead meat and suppressed a sneer.

In the distance, Meng Hao's first client anxiously watched the proceedings.

"Beat him to death, beat him to death!" he said calmly. Same he didn't know which cultivator he was referring to.

"Brother, said the sages, it is not good to steal," said Meng Hao gently. "Look, let's discuss things a little. I'm running a business here, but I haven't even opened the store yet. How could I already have Spiritual Stones?"

"Sages? On this plateau, I am the sage," said Cao Yang, feeling even more confident after hearing Meng Hao speak. "If I want to beat you, who will stop me? If I want to cut you into pieces, who would make a peep?" Assuming that Meng Hao was scared, he laughed heartily and took a step forward. He was very close now and his eyes radiated insolence.

"Brother, I didn't do anything to provoke you. Also, I'm not in the Public Area. Look, I'm outside the borders." Grimacing, Meng Hao stood up on the stone, trying to speak reasonably.

"You really can talk shit," said the proud Cao Yang impatiently. "If I say you're in, then you're in." He walked past the flag and then handed his hand to Meng Hao.

"What a bully!" When he saw Cao Yang's malicious hand moving, Meng Hao's countenance flickered and he seemed to transform into a different person. As Cao Yang advanced, he also advanced and his right palm shot out.

A bang sounded, then a horrible scream came out of Cao Yang's proud mouth, followed by a fountain of blood. His body flew back a little, his face full of astonishment. A punch delivered to the stomach region, with enough force to kill an ordinary human being.

His cultivation level was nothing to Meng Hao but he needed to initiate this (Canonical Event), so he did not lose consciousness. But the pain destroyed his body. Even as he tried to get up, Meng Hao appeared beside him and violently kicked him to the ground.

"The wise men said that if you take things without paying, you are courting death."

"I told you, I'm running a business and I haven't opened a store yet. I don't have any Spiritual Stones." As he spoke, he continued to mercilessly kick Cao Yang. The proud man's shrill, miserable screams rang across the plateau, punctuating Meng Hao's every word. He protected his head with his hands, rolling over. Soon, footprints covered his green cloak.

"I said I was outside the public area, not inside," said Meng Hao furiously. The proud man's horrible screams began to weaken and it seemed that soon he would not even have the energy to scream. All the cultivators watching seemed to hold their breath, looking at Meng Hao truly furious as if it were post-Pill Day and the beginning of the '74 Massacre. Some of them had been present the day before and began to think that they were lucky.

The person who understood the most was yesterday's first customer. Looking at the proud, shouting Cao Yang and watching Meng Hao's fierce expression as he punished Cao Yang with his feet from calf to head, he suddenly began to sweat and tremble. The more he observed, the more he felt that Meng Hao was truly frightening and dangerous.

It seemed like Cao Yang was about to lose consciousness. The shadow of death seemed to float over him. His vision began to darken. Then, he raised his left hand, shaking, in it was a Spiritual Stone.

"I… I'm going to buy some medicine!" he cried. He mustered all his strength to scream as loudly as possible, apparently afraid that Meng Hao wouldn't hear him.

Meng Hao stopped, his foot in the air. His fierce expression disappeared, replaced by that of the innocent scholar. With a gentle smile, he took the Spiritual Stone.

"Why didn't you say that before?" He helped Cao Yang to his feet, brushing off the dusty footprints on his robe.

His proud body trembled and he looked fearfully at Meng Hao. Looking at him, Cao Yang wanted to leave immediately, to get as far away from the demon in human clothes as possible.

From now on, he was the same as the Cultivator from yesterday.

"Brother, looking at your current state, I think a medicinal pill will only help you temporarily." He grabbed Cao Yang by the shoulders. He seemed to stop thinking for a moment. "You have many enemies. Why don't you buy more?"
