Chapter 111: Punishing the Deceitful Shop

What Bai He hated most was precisely this kind of person.

The shop owner was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. "Young Master, I was wrong. Please don’t spread this matter, otherwise... otherwise I won’t be able to survive here in Nianbadu Ancient Town."

Bai He could see it clearly now,vthis man had no real sense of regret.

He was only afraid of losing his livelihood.

"Someone like you is not fit to be a shop owner."

Even profiteers did not conduct business in such a despicable way.

It was simply infuriating.

The shop owner’s eyes darted around. He kowtowed again toward Bai He. "Young Master, I beg you. I truly know I was wrong. In the future, I will definitely not do this again."

Bai He crossed his arms and said, "Listen carefully. I am an elder of Lingguang Sect. Today, I can spare you, but you must, in front of me, smash all of these spirit beast eggs that have already lost their vitality."

The shop owner’s expression changed again, becoming extremely unpleasant.

"Well? Are you going to smash them or not?"

The shop owner stood up, picked up one of the spirit beast eggs and smashed it onto the ground.

There was only a puff of air and nothing else at all...

He smashed several in a row and all of them were the same.

In the end, Bai He sat there, looking at the ground covered in broken eggshells with one of his hand supporting his forehead.

This was simply suffocating.

Of the remaining spirit beast eggs, there were fewer than ten left.

Out of over a hundred eggs, only eight remained?

Bai He truly did not know what to say. "You... do you even know what would happen if your actions here were discovered in Nianbadu Ancient Town?"

Nianbadu Ancient Town absolutely did not allow the sale of counterfeit goods and this shop owner was knowingly selling fakes!

It was simply outrageous to the extreme.

"Young Master, I have already smashed them all as you instructed."

Bai He let out a cold snort. "Don’t be too pleased with yourself. Although I may not stay here for long, you should know that Lingguang Sect’s information network is very well-informed. I will specifically send people to inspect your shop regularly. If I discover that you start deceiving people again, I will absolutely not keep your secret any longer."

The shop owner immediately replied, "Yes, Young Master, I know I was wrong, I know! I will definitely change, I will change."

Bai He then left the shop with Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng.

They had originally come here in a rather good mood, but now it felt utterly frustrating.

"Master, why help him keep his secret?"

"As long as he sells spirit beast eggs properly in the future, giving him a chance to reform isn’t a bad thing. However, from what I see, he doesn’t seem to have that intention."

Xu Feng also agreed with Bai He. "If that’s the case, Master, then we shouldn’t keep his secret. We should expose him directly and leave him with no place to hide."

At the same time, Mo Zhu suddenly flapped its wings and flew back.

"Host, that person has already gone to call for reinforcements."

After hearing this, Bai He slightly raised his eyebrows as if it was already within his expectations.

Since he had come here, he did not feel afraid of anything.

In fact, he was quite interested to see how that person intended to deal with him.

After all, he had already made it clear, he was an elder of Lingguang Sect.

What level was an elder of Lingguang Sect?

Everyone knew. Yet someone still dared to make a move against him, it’s truly bold.

Bai He and the others then went to another shop that specialized in selling medicinal herbs.

This shop had quite a lot of people.

Most of the herbs were different varieties, but in the expensive section, each type of herb was displayed singly, because they were both precious and rare.

Not only that, the colors of those herbs were all strange and varied, there was everything imaginable.

Naturally, Bai He had no interest in those ordinary medicinal herbs, but as for the expensive ones, most of them could also be found in Lingguang Sect.

"Master, there’s actually Numinous Red Grass here."

Ye Shiyuan stopped in front of the Numinous Red Grass and Bai He immediately stepped closer.

Soon after, Xu Feng also came over.

Compared to Ye Shiyuan, Xu Feng spent most of his time cultivating and rarely paid attention to knowledge about medicinal herbs.

He even seldom read books.

"Senior Brother Shiyuan, what is this?"

"It is said that Numinous Red Grass has already gone extinct. Even the Elder in the Medicine Hall doesn’t have any."

Ye Shiyuan continued after Bai He’s words, "Yes, that’s indeed the case! So, Master, should we buy this Numinous Red Grass?"

Bai He was tempted.

Although it was expensive, if he brought Numinous Red Grass to the Elder in the Medicine Hall later, wouldn’t he be able to obtain whatever he wanted easily and effortlessly?

"Senior Brother, didn’t you see? This herb is not for sale."

That was right, beside it was a sign that read Not for Sale.

In his earlier excitement, he hadn’t noticed it.

"Young Master, you truly have a good eye."

The one who spoke was the shop owner.

Bai He turned around and saw him, but the man wore a mask, making it impossible to discern what he actually looked like.

However, no matter what he looked like, Bai He did not care.

This Numinous Red Grass had a plain appearance and very few people would pay attention to it.

Seeing that Bai He and the others had been standing here for quite a while, the shop owner came over.

"Boss, may I ask how can we obtain this Numinous Red Grass?"

"Numinous Red Grass is a priceless treasure. Logically speaking, it is not for sale. However, since the young master likes it so much, it’s not impossible to make an exception."
