On the small boat.

Old Ma expressed some doubts, “Young Master, why was that robust man suddenly so wary of us? I checked again, the rules they mentioned do indeed exist.”

At that moment, from the busy dock, they could see several squads boarding other boats for inspection.

“He must have recognized us.”

“How could he?” Old Ma asked in surprise, “We’ve never even been in the commandery of Luoshui Commandery, how could he possibly know us?”

Jiang Yuan said, “Uncle Ma, have you forgotten about Smoke Ripple Lake a few days ago? There was another merchant ship, the Su family’s ship!” Old Ma suddenly realized.

“Brother Su, the Su family! Yes, that’s why his expression changed so dramatically, he must have recognized Young Master’s majestic divine power.”

Jiang Yuan laughed and then said, “Uncle Ma, you should go to Luoshui Commandery with some men and investigate the situation. I want to know if there are any immortals in Luoshui Commandery.”

Old Ma nodded, “Does Young Master have any other orders?”

Jiang Yuan said, “Also, you should sell the goods on the boat for silver notes. And those basic martial art documents, dispose of them all for silver notes too.”

“No problem!” Old Ma pounded his chest, “Young Master, you can rest here and wait while I go and gather information.”

“Hmm!” Jiang Yuan nodded and then walked into the ship’s cabin.

Back in his room,

Jiang Yuan continued to close his eyes, circulating the qi and blood throughout his body.

Early the next morning.

“Young Master!” On seeing Jiang Yuan emerge from his room, Old Ma hurriedly approached him.

Jiang Yuan nodded and casually absorbed a wisp of Luck Power that had crystallized around Gu Mo.

Then he asked, “Uncle Ma, how is the investigation going?”

Old Ma replied, “I’ve looked everywhere, throughout the entire commandery.

There are certainly no immortals here, but there are legends of their existence. The Su family had a genius hundreds of years ago, Zhao Li, who was taken to join a Sect by an immortal. And about a hundred years ago, a great beast named Shen emerged from Smoke Ripple Lake. It was so powerful that even the strongest mortals of the Body Forging ninth stage could do nothing to it. In the end, a court-appointed immortal arrived and slashed it with a sword.” Jiang Yuan nodded, completely relieved.

“Uncle Ma, what about the goods? How have they been processed?”

Old Ma laughed heartily, “Except for a couple of martial art secrets, all have been handled well. We got a total of 63,400 silver notes. If Young Master hadn’t said to deal with them quickly, we could have gotten 5% more.”

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, “Nevermind, as long as they have been dealt with. What’s the situation with the martial art secrets?”

Old Ma replied, “I originally wanted to get rid of them quickly, but the manager told me there’s an auction tonight. If we consign the items for auction, they will fetch a higher price and we can collect the money tonight.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, “Alright.”

Then he said, “Now that the investigation is complete, let’s go to the commandery and have something to eat before we go to the Su residence.”

“Yes!” Old Ma nodded in agreement.

At Immortals Residence.

This establishment used to be a guest house, but was renamed the Immortals Residence after an immortal dined here and complemented the food before leaving.

At that moment, Jiang Yuan and his group came to the second floor. Just as the dishes arrived, Jiang Yuan picked up a piece of fish and tasted it.

“It’s indeed good!” He praised.

Just then,

Someone downstairs cleared his throat.

“My friends, I won’t talk about the previous stories today, let’s talk about the story of a young genius called Jiang Yuan instead.” Upon his words, a noise arose from the crowd downstairs.

“Young genius? Jiang Yuan? Why haven’t we heard of him?”

Old Ma also curiously looked down and asked, “Young Master, it’s a storyteller. Why is he suddenly telling your story?”

“It must be related to the battle in Smoke Ripple Lake! After all, there were other merchant ships present at the time.” Jiang Yuan said.

Simultaneously, the voice of the storyteller below resonated.

“Of course, you haven’t heard of him. But you must have heard of the Thirteen Major Thieves, right?”

“Who?” someone below asked curiously.

“Mang Mountain’s Thirteen Major Thieves!”

“Hiss! This boy made his name in relation to the Thirteen Major Thieves of

Mang Mountain

“Exactly!”

A conversation was initiated by two people which stirred everyone’s curiosity.

Then he asked, “That was a legendary battle, would you like to hear about it?”

With the reputation of the Thirteen Major Thieves of Mang Mountain, everyone’s curiosity was piqued.

Subsequently,

“Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang! “…

The sound of copper coins hitting the ground could be heard. Jiang Yuan said, “Xiaoxiao, throw a silver ingot down.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Shu Xiaoxiao replied, then pulled out a silver ingot and threw it towards the stage on the first floor.

The storyteller downstairs saw the silver ingot landing before him and was delighted.

The heavy drinking last night was worth it.

Picking up the silver, he bowed towards the second floor, “Thank you for your generous tip, honored guest on the second floor!”

Then he turned to the audience around and said, “Thank you everyone for your generous tips!”

Jiang Yuan smiled. Just as Dashun Prefecture’s Zhao Li earned a reputation across two provinces, attracting the attention of immortals who may take him as their disciple, he too could use this to raise his fame.

In that case, he wouldn’t need to consider joining the Sunset Sect.

But now it seems that won’t be necessary.

At that moment, the storyteller below cleared his throat.

He then slowly retold the events of that day.

When he described the teenage genius as being eight feet tall, eight feet wide, with three heads and six arms,

There was an immediate commotion around, “How can there be square people in this world!”

The storyteller smacked his palm on the desk, “Exaggeration, this is just a hyperbole.”

Then he proceeded with the story, and when he finished,

There was a deadly silence all around.

Smoothing his beard, the storyteller asked with a smile, “So, would you consider him a bona fide young genius?”

The surrounding area was instantly filled with gasps.

“Hiss! If he really did what you described, then he undoubtedly is a prodigy, like a divine being reincarnated, surely destined to become an immortal!”

“Yes, yes, yes…”

Just then, someone shouted angrily from the crowd, “Nonsense! This is purely a groundless rumor. How could an unknown figure we’ve never heard of fight against the Thirteen Major Thieves on his own!”

“Even Dashun Prefecture’s most famous prodigy, my nephew Zhao Li, could not fight against the Thirteen Major Thieves on his own while at the mortal limit.”

The storyteller asked, “May I ask who you are?”

“I am naturally Zhao Li’s uncle!” the man declared arrogantly.

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, and the storyteller respectfully said,

“So it turns out to be Immortal Master Zhao’s uncle, I didn’t recognize you!”

The man raised his chin slightly, “The great battle at Smoke Ripple Lake you just told, it’s just hearsay, right!”

The storyteller had no choice but to tell the truth, “Indeed, I learned about it from others..
