Listening to Qin Xuan, Wang Fu was instantly excited and was about to kneel down to salute Qin Xuan.
However, Qin Xuan directly helped the old man up.
"No matter, it's just a small effort."
"It's just, when will this merchant team arrive?"
Wang Fu stabilized his mind and nodded to Qin Xuan.
"Counting the time, it should be in three or four days. Generally speaking, they always come here within that time."
"So, they should arrive here in three or four days."
Qin Xuan nodded, a plan already forming in his mind.
Since there were still three days, he could find more Soul Cores during this time.
In the following days, Qin Xuan began to hunt Soul Beasts for Soul Cores while also studying the Array Plate.
Although Qin Xuan wanted to leave early, he could only wait for the merchant team to arrive at this time.
Fortunately, after what happened that night, the monster in the black whirlwind seemed to realize that it was no match for Qin Xuan, so it did not appear again.
Therefore, the nights here became much quieter.
As for hunting Soul Beasts and gathering Soul Cores, it was naturally easy.
These Soul Beasts were only of First Rank Spirit Beast strength; apart from their powerful Mental Energy, their other attack methods were not strong.
For Mortals, the damage caused by this Mental Energy was indeed significant,
But for Qin Xuan, these attacks were like tickles.
Plus, because he had Wind and Thunder Wings, Qin Xuan's hunting range was naturally much farther than others.
Qin Xuan hunted many Soul Beasts with almost no effort.
Qin Xuan had a full harvest in hunting Soul Beasts, but studying the Array Plate was not so easy.
Although the Array Plate couldn't function now, they could keep trying.
However, this thing couldn't be understood by just casually trying.
After many attempts, they still had only a partial understanding of it.
Nothing else, Han Ye had only read about how to use the Array Plate in ancient texts, but he wasn't entirely clear on the specific usage.
However, after multiple uses, he began to become proficient with the Array Plate.
"This Array Plate is truly remarkable. With Formation patterns, one can be teleported thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of miles away."
Qin Xuan clicked his tongue in praise, and Han Ye agreed wholeheartedly.
"However, the function of this Array Plate is also limited. To teleport hundreds of thousands of miles away, a larger Array Plate is required, and the complexity of the Array Plate also directly increases by one Rank."
"As for those that span tens of millions of miles, they require large-scale Formations. Generally speaking, only a very few powerful forces possess them; ordinary forces simply cannot possess such vast Formations."
Han Ye explained to Qin Xuan, who nodded.
"Let's continue to study this Array Plate. This thing will be of great use in the future."
Qin Xuan pondered and continued to study the Array Plate.
In these past few days, he had hunted quite a few Soul Beasts, enough to take the grandfather and granddaughter and himself out of here.
Moreover, even if the items weren't enough, he had a way to take the grandfather and granddaughter out of here.
Just as Qin Xuan was pondering, there was a sudden commotion near the stone house.
Qin Xuan looked over there in confusion.
"Big Brother, the merchant team has arrived."
Nannan ran over happily.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan's eyes immediately lit up.
He also wanted to see what these merchant teams were like.
Following the lively crowd, Qin Xuan arrived at the village entrance.
At this moment, everyone in the entire village had run out, each holding Soul Cores, eagerly looking at the merchant team, waiting to exchange them for various grains.
"Using Spirit Beasts to transport supplies, this merchant team has some strength."
Looking over there, Qin Xuan frowned slightly.
The merchant team at the village entrance rode Spirit Beasts that looked like iron-clad beasts.
Each Spirit Beast carried sacks of grain on its back.
At this moment, everyone present cast their gaze over there, eagerly waiting to exchange for grain.
"What a bunch of pigs."
The leader of the merchant team was a pot-bellied strong man.
Spitting towards the ground, the strong man patted his belly.
"Everyone, spread out! Come one by one to exchange!"
Wang Fu glanced at Qin Xuan, who shook his head slightly.
"Let's wait first. We'll go after everyone else has exchanged their grain."
There were so many people here, it was better not to rush into exchanging for the spots to leave here.
Therefore, Qin Xuan motioned for Wang Fu, the grandfather and granddaughter, to wait.
Besides, he wanted to see what tricks this group of people would pull.
"Previously, one Soul Core could be exchanged for ten catties of grain, but starting from this time, one Soul Core can only be exchanged for eight catties of grain."
The leader of the merchant team said condescendingly.
Hearing this, almost everyone present stirred collectively.
"What are you arguing about? If you keep arguing, we'll leave right now, you bunch of pigs! How dare you contend with me? You're not worthy!"
The leader of the merchant team said disdainfully.
Hearing this, even if others wanted to say something, they couldn't, and could only helplessly close their mouths, silently enduring it all.
At such a time, even if they were unconvinced, what could they do?
"Heh, a bunch of useless people!"
Seeing that no one dared to resist him, the merchant team leader sneered and shook his head disdainfully.
This price was, of course, set by him privately, so he naturally had the final say.
Even if these pigs were unconvinced, they couldn't do anything to him.
After all, this group of people had been tormented to the point of almost numbness, losing even the courage to resist them.
Qin Xuan watched all this with cold eyes; he had no intention of intervening.
Nothing else, people always have to rely on themselves.
Facing injustice, if one doesn't dare to stand up and always expects others to save them, such people are not worth saving in the first place.
Because such people are inherently bullies who pick on the weak and fear the strong.
When they encounter danger, they hope others will stand up for them.
But when others need their help, they will just hide their heads, not even daring to stick them out.
If they don't even dare to resist injustice themselves, expecting them to stand up when others face danger is simply unrealistic.
Qin Xuan had no thought of bothering with such people.
After a while, the others mumbled and left, leaving only Qin Xuan and Wang Fu, the grandfather and granddaughter, at the scene.
"You three, are you exchanging things or not?"
The leader of the merchant team glared at Qin Xuan and the others in dissatisfaction.
He was merely in the Rookie Realm.
Qin Xuan's gaze swept over the strong man and immediately saw his cultivation clearly.
This man's strength was certainly no problem for dealing with these Mortals, but in front of Qin Xuan, he could be killed with a single palm.
Let's talk about it after leaving here.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan walked over.
"How many Soul Cores do you have, and how much grain do you want to exchange for..."
The merchant team leader asked lazily.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan looked back at Wang Fu, the grandfather and granddaughter, who were looking hopeful.
"I want to exchange for three spots to leave here."
"What?"
The leader of the merchant team looked at Qin Xuan in surprise; he had not expected Qin Xuan to want to exchange for spots to leave here.
Not only that, but he even wanted to exchange for three people's spots. What a joke, three people would require three thousand Soul Cores.
How could that be possible?
