Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Gu Xijiu, are you abusing your rights are The Lord's disciple? Aren't you worried that you'll defame The Lord?" Yan Chen asked as he frowned.

Gu Xijiu said coldly, "Oh! What did I do? How would I get The Lord defamed?"

The crowd was speechless.

"You lied to Qian Lingyu and said you could get his illness cured…" Someone in the crowd pointed out.

"I haven't even started treating him, how would you know if I was lying?" Gu Xijiu asked.

"Can you really treat his illness? How confident are you?" Yan Chen asked her again.

Gu Xijiu looked at Qian Lingtian and smiled, "Initially, there was only a 50% chance, but now it has become 80%."

After she finished speaking, she happily observed Qian Lingtian’s changed facial expression. She roughly knew what she was supposed to do next.

Qian Lingyu’s eyes were shining bright like the stars twinkling in the sky.

Yan Chen frowned and said, "I don’t believe you!"

Gu Xijiu was surprised, "What does it have to do with me? Am I obliged to make you believe in me?"

Yan Chen was speechless and looked at Qian Lingyu, "Qian Lingyu…"

Qian Lingyu got the message and quickly said, "I trust her!" The victim seemed to trust the liar wholeheartedly, what else they could do?

Yan Chen could not say anything at all, and the way he looked at Qian Lingyu as though he was looking at an idiot.

Gu Xijiu did not want to bother them anymore, her small hand tapped on Qian Lingyu’s shoulder, "Let’s go, I’m starving!" Both of them walked up to the second floor with eyes still glaring at them.

...

Time flew when they were practicing; three days had passed.

During nightfall, the moonlight was gentle and reflected on the small brook at the little hill. Even the leaves were glittering due to the moonlight.

There were many people on the small hill; they were wearing long robes with masks on their faces. One could not even identify who they were or even their gender and that was the reason they looked weird.

Among the people there, some were sellers, and some were the shoppers. There were many varieties of items on sale, and most of them were medicines like Gold-Inflicted Remedy and rare herbs which could enhance spiritual power.

That was the famous night market in the Tianju Hall. It would be opened once every three days, and only people from Tianju Hall were welcomed.

The reason that everyone had to wear the same long robe and put on a mask was to increase the mysteriousness and also to train their ability to differentiate genuine from fake herbs and drugs that were available in the night market.

This market was designed by the elders to prevent the students from being isolated from the outside world. Spiritual stones were the only medium for trade here, and the sellers could set their prices on their own. Of course, they must set a price which was realistic.

Gu Xijiu wandered around and visited almost every stall. In the end, she knew what she wanted to buy. When she was in the Dark Forest, she collected many rare herbs. However, those were very useful to her to unseal the spell in her body; she would not want to sell them if were unnecessary.

Although she had quite a lot of money, she did not have any spiritual stone as she had just arrived. Therefore, she could not buy anything here. Fortunately, Qian Lingyu had a few spiritual stones, and Gu Xijiu told him to buy a few herbs. Later, they set up a stall, and she took out a white jade alchemy furnace. She told Qian Lingyu to hang a yellow banner after she wrote a sentence there - "Selling fourth-grade Medicine!"
