Jason patted Duan Jian's shoulder, showing his agreement with his decision. The Silver Winged Family had been nearly destroyed and all the slaves had been freed. He had also robbed their treasuries and also got many blood crystals.
The explosions had attracted the attention of other families too. So, now it's time to leave this place.
Duan Jian paid one last tribute to his father and mother before following them out.
Jason could feel a number of people coming in the Silver Winged family's direction so he guided the slaves through a different route before leaving with Duan Jian and Yu Yan.
At this moment, on the far mountain, a tattered old man sat there with rays of light shooting from his eyes as he watched Jason and the others leave.
After thinking of something, he mumbled, "I wonder to what degree you have comprehended that truth?"
There wasn't any expression on his face. A moment later, he closed his eyes and continued to cultivate...
"Duan Jian, tell us about the situation of the individual families in the mountains?" Jason asked him as the trio left the territory of the Silver Winged family.
"Respect to master, there are a total of thirteen families. Their relationship is very complicated. Among the families, some of them have made an alliance, while others hold grudges and fend for themselves. The strongest three are the Silver Winged Family, the Divine Flames Family, and the Ash Wolves Family. These three families have a Legend rank expert, while the rest mostly have Black Gold rank experts. However, since they are able to survive on this mountain for so long, they definitely have some methods up their sleeves. Aside from the thirteen families, there are also many villages within the mountain and their strongest is usually only Gold rank. These villages often have to offer some sort of tribute; otherwise, they'll be captured by one of the thirteen families and become their slaves." Duan Jian explained with a serious expression.
While learning about the situation of the families from Duan Jian, the trio finally arrived in a town set up by all the families for trading.
It's hard to imagine that in this mountain forest raging with demon beasts, there would actually be such a bustling city.
This market stretched for miles, many of the buildings here were made from thick woods and there was even a defense post. Most of the people wore plain clothes and had set their stores up on the ground, trading various items with voices of negotiation that could easily be heard.
Aside from the thirteen families, there were also villagers who came from various villages. The people in the town look thin and malnourished.
From the mouth of Duan Jian, Nie Li found out that the food there was very lacking. The thirteen families were considered better off, even though they could barely manage their food and clothing.
As for the villagers, it was more depressing for them. The majority of the demon beasts' meat in this world carried a weird sour stench and taste, making them inedible.
Only a small minority of the beasts could be eaten; however, they have been hunted to the point that their population is very small now. Their food mainly came from mountain berries, fruits, and mushrooms.
Food is the most valuable thing here!
Passing an interspatial ring filled with food to Duan Jian, Jason sent him to buy rare ores and minerals.
After Duan Jian was gone, Jason held Yu Yan's hand as the duo roamed the market in search of novelty items. Their gazes continued to search until they landed on one of the items.
This was a strange item. It's a spherical object, somewhat similar to a soul puppet. It has a complex metallic structure.
The one selling this is an old man who wore tattered clothes. His appearance was thin and weak, his clouded eyes didn't even have a trace of clearance and his booth only had a few items.
Jason extended his hand and picked up the spherical object. Inside the metallic structure, was a sparkling crystal. Within the crystal, there are strands of a blizzard that was constantly changing its shape.
When Jason saw this scene, he instantly recognized the item as the legendary Blizzard Spiritual Gem.
Even Yu Yan's eyes sparkled with coming across such a treasure.
"This young master over here, this is the treasure that has been passed down in my family for over five hundred years. If it wasn't for the fact that the family is declining now, I wouldn't even be willing to take it out and sell it." The old man said, in a hoarse and feeble voice.
"What's your price for this?" Jason asked calmly.
"Five bags of food and I'll sell it to you." After pondering for a while, the old man said.
"What? Five bags of food?" Jason was startled, raising his eyebrow at the old man. 'Is this some kind of a joke?'
"Is five bags of food too expensive? Then how about three bags?" The old man looked at Jason timidly, frightened by Jason's expression.
"Twenty bags of food and five pounds of meat, all yours!" Jason smiled as he waved his right hand, retrieving the items. If he were to offer too much, the old man probably wouldn't be able to carry them back.
Looking at all of this food, the old man submerged into a long dumbfound thought. Thereafter, tears were falling down his face as he kowtowed towards Jason.
"Old man, even if I exchange your item with all of this food, I'd still benefit from you. If you have any requests, you can mention it." Jason said, feeling the helplessness of the old man.
"I didn't know this item could be exchanged for so much food. God has already been kind to me, I have no other requests." The old man gave a few more kowtow.
Two skinny youths walked to the side of the old man.
"Da Niu, Er Niu, hurry, kowtow the benefactor!" The old man hurriedly said to the two youths. The two youths did not say anything and started kowtowing.
Jason lamented in his heart, looking at the two skinny youths. He took out another five bags of food and a few pounds of meat with two suitable cultivation techniques for the youths, placed it in the store, and left with the Blizzard Spiritual Gem in his interspatial ring.
Seeing the mountainous pile of food, the old man's tears came down like rain as he quivered and said, "Heaven's have to bless this benefactor!"
Seeing this scene, the other storekeepers looked at the old man's pile of food with envy. However, they did not dare to do anything; after all, this trading market is managed by the Divine Flames Family. Therefore, they don't dare to cause any trouble here.
"Maybe you should have left some more." Yu Yan spoke, casting a glance back.
Jason shook his head, speaking. "If I've given more than that, the three of them must have died by tomorrow because of human greed. Let's search a little more and meet Duan Jian later."
