Chapter 153: Mountain Spirit Hound
“Is it Young Master? Here we are!”
The moment Qian Shang saw Zhou Feng, he realized that the so-called turning point had appeared.
He didn’t expect to meet Zhou Feng in such a place.
It should be known that Zhou Feng had been in the limelight in the inner sect back then, breaking through to the Soul Altar realm in a short time.
Then, he had even entered the sect’s blessed land to continue cultivating.
Qian Shang and his daughter had some connections with Zhou Feng in the beginning.
Although Zhou Feng had never charged them protection fees after that, Qian Shang’s life in the market city could be said to be very comfortable as he relied on this relationship,
If it weren’t for the huge change in the Tri-Gu Sect, perhaps they wouldn’t have left the Tri-Gu Sect.
After all, although Heavenly Star City was very big, the competition was also extremely fierce. Qian Shang and his daughter would probably have a hard time establishing a foothold in Heavenly Star City.
However, it would be different if there was a Grade-1 Soul Altar expert behind them.
This Qian Shang was also a scheming person. When he saw Zhou Feng, he deliberately omitted the first surname and directly called him Young Master.
“Young Master? This Qian merchant actually has such an expert behind him?”
“Looks like the Qin Clan’s luck isn’t too good!”
“The feud between these two parties can be considered to be formed!”
“…”
Upon hearing Qian Shang’s term of address, the originally extremely nervous merchants instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
If it weren’t necessary, they really wouldn’t want to become enemies with a Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator in the wilderness.
Hearing Qian Shang’s address, Zhou Feng raised his brows and spoke. “What happened?”
“Ahem, ahem, there might be some misunderstanding here!”
Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Qin Wan immediately coughed dryly, wanting to defend himself.
‘What bad luck! You have a Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator backing you up? Why didn’t you say so earlier!?
‘Isn’t it awkward now that things have come to this?’
Although the Qin Clan had a Purple Mansion patriarch backing them up, Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivators could not be easily bullied.
Not to mention that they weren’t in Heavenly Star City right now.
If they were in Heavenly Star City right now, Qin Wan might not admit defeat and still maintain his arrogant appearance.
But this was the wilderness, and they were very far away from Heavenly Star City.
If anything happened on this road, even a Purple Mansion expert wouldn’t be able to help.
“Oh? Is it a misunderstanding?”
Zhou Feng didn’t conceal his strength at all. The tyrannical aura of a Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator directly targeted Qin Wan.
Zhou Feng absolutely would not do anything like disguising his strength to eat a tiger.
That looked very stupid in his eyes. It would be better to display his strength and intimidate the small fries.
He would make those who had ill intentions not dare to make a move against him.
Deliberately conceal his own strength, let others make a move against him, and then expose his strength, killing them in one fell swoop?
This sounded too stupid. Wasn’t this a waste of his time?
“It’s a misunderstanding! It’s definitely a misunderstanding!”
Qin Wan smelled a strong scent of blood. This scent of blood could only be possessed by someone who had killed many people.
This person before him was definitely a ruthless person. Moreover, he was the type that would kill decisively. He must not be offended.
A large amount of cold sweat emerged on Qin Wan’s forehead.
“This is a Mountain Spirit Hound! Treat it as an apology from our Qin caravan. If we have offended you, please forgive us!”
Under his strong desire to survive, Qin Wan took a little puppy out of a bag.
“Mountain Spirit Hound? It’s actually a Mountain Spirit Hound!?”
“Is it a purebred?”
“How could it be a purebred!?”
“…”
Zhou Feng looked at the little puppy in front of him. His original intention to make a move was extinguished.
He did not expect Qin Wan to be so tactful. He actually took the initiative to apologize and even used a spirit dog as an apology.
It would be a little unreasonable if he still made a move. After all, Zhou Feng still wanted to follow this joint caravan to Heavenly Star City.
“Then I’ll let it go this time!”
He took the little puppy, and the aura on his body slowly converged.
“Misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding!”
Although Qin Wan’s heart was bleeding, his face was still smiling apologetically.
One had to know that this was a genuine Mountain Spirit Hound, and its body had a trace of the Heavenly Dog’s bloodline.
The rare thing was that this Mountain Spirit Hound hadn’t opened its eyes and had just been born.
It could be nurtured from a young age and recognize the person it saw first as its master.
Once it grew up, it would be equivalent to having a Soul Altar spirit beast companion.
That’s right! When this Mountain Spirit Hound grew up, it would automatically be able to break through to the Soul Altar realm.
Although it would require countless resources, its value was self-evident. It was because only a few spirit beasts could recognize their master and become human companions.
This time, the Qin caravan had arrived at this remote place for the purpose of catching Mountain Spirit Hounds.
It would be a lie if Qin Wan did not feel sorry for one of the three pups of the Mountain Spirit Hounds.
However, in order to save his life and build a good relationship with Zhou Feng, he had to give it to him.
It must be said that Qin Wan was also quite decisive in making such a decision in such a short time.
“Well, it’s all a misunderstanding!”
Looking at the little dog sucking his finger, Zhou Feng did not continue pursuing the matter.
Since this misunderstanding was resolved, the two caravans split.
After Qin Wan left, Qian Shang revealed a fawning smile to Zhou Feng. “Hehe, Master Zhou! Just now—”
“I’m just following this caravan to Star City. I’ll leave when I get there,” Zhou Feng interrupted Qian Shang.
Qian Shang instantly became anxious upon hearing that.
With such a thick leg here, how could he not firmly hold onto it!?
One had to know that compared to the Tri-Gu Sect, Heavenly Star City was a truly large city, and the area where the Tri-Gu Sect was located was only considered a rural area.
Heavenly Star City’s City Lord was a mighty Divine Ability expert, and even Purple Mansion experts could be seen in the city.
It was simply impossible for Qian Shang, a powerless man who hadn’t even reached the Soul Altar realm, to settle down in Heavenly Star City without a backer behind him.
“Don’t! Young Master! You can’t do this! You’ve taken my protection fee!”
At that moment, Qian Shang was not as tactful as he was when doing business. Instead, he was very stiff as he wanted to grab hold of such a thick leg.
There was nothing he could do. The difference in strength between the two sides was simply too great.
In front of Zhou Feng, Qian Shang had no way to maintain his composure.
“My Little White can help you find all kinds of spirit herbs and treasures! Moreover, my father’s caravan can earn a lot of Spirit Stones for you!
“Also, you don’t need to worry about all this. 90% of our caravan’s profits will be handed over to you every month!
“In the end, we will only borrow your reputation. Even if something happens, you can give up on us at will!”
After Qian Qianqian asked the other caravan members to describe everything, she walked directly to Zhou Feng.
She stated all the conditions without beating around the bush.
She told him all the conditions that she could offer in order to make Zhou Feng their backer.
Qian Shang was utterly shocked upon hearing his daughter’s bold conditions.
‘Is there such a way to negotiate? This is not giving us any way out!’
