[Episode 23]

The guild won't stop mourning. Keep going as if I really died.

The other disciples will keep searching for the map.

All of this is to cover for you.

You have to find that person.

I have something to bestow to you.

You shall inherit my duty.

I have a bargaining chip. I'm just waiting for an opportunity.

What is that? Catch it!

Come! Come catch your Grandmaster!

Why are you on the ground? Are you kowtowing to me?

Quickly!

Catch it!

Stupid rat! Just wait till I catch you. I'm going to boil you!

It seems that you're not just an idiot, you're blind too.

You want to catch me? We'll see about that!

- Whoever catches him will be rewarded!- Catch me if you can!

- You can't catch me! - Hold it down!

Move it, move it!

- I guess a scent isn't good enough. - Where is it?

I can't be bothered with you anymore.

He really shouldn't be provoked.

Drink up! What?

Drink! What is it?

Drink!

- Mister Fourteen says hello. - Mister Fourteen?

Whether Yan City travelers bring good or bad with them

we shall get past it all!

I'm looking to refine a spirit treasure. Will you point me in the right direction?

Thousand Gold Association on the east side.

No matter what treasure you're looking for, your efforts won't be wasted.

Thanks.

You took eight of my pastries for one Yang Yuan stone?

He dresses like he's made of money.

Some customers make you lose money.

If you happen across a spendthrift, you'll end up earning it all back.

I'll see you around!

- It's so lively here! - It's the Thousand Gold Association.

It's an incredibly affluent group.

Here is our lovely maid, Kui Yue!

Her body is like a flower, she can dance and sing, and loves to laugh.

She no longer wants to be a maid.

If anyone likes her and wants to take her home, just name a price!

I'm guessing... Master Yan was talking about that man up there.

The starting bid is 30,000.

- Raise your hand to raise 5,000. - 30,500!

That's 30,500 Yang Yuan pills!

They auction off people in Great Puppet City?

This may be a black market auction house.

Then... let's save her!

- Save her? - Yes!

- 40,500! - 40,500 Yang Yuan pills!

40,500 Yang Yuan pills!

- All right, we will. - 50,000!

50,000! 50,000 Yang Yuan pills!

Let her go!

In such a hurry? Are you going to place a huge bid?

That's right!

I want to save the damsel in distress.

- Young, but arrogant. - Come with us!

His Spirit Power is incredible!

Miss, let's go!

My Emblem Puppet maid!

My Kui Yue!

It took my three years to make you, I took care of you so meticulously.

But you've been treated so crudely!

- She isn't a real person? - Of course not.

She's Kui Yue, an Emblem Puppet maid I made from scratch.

She may not be real, but look at these details! She's hyperrealistic!

A priceless gem!

- I'm Lin Dong. - Kid...

We have three rules here.

Don't come empty-handed, don't leave empty-handed

and don't disrespect me. You two broke all three rules.

What are you going to do about it?

Run!

Where are you running off to?

What are you going to do now?

We weren't disrespecting you.

We just had a minor exchange.

Plus! We didn't come empty-handed.

Yes! We didn't.

We have to refine a spirit treasure.

A spirit treasure?

You came to refine a spirit treasure?

You should've said so earlier! Any disrespect would've been voided!

Are you the Thousand Gold Association's head?

All genuine items, bid by the thousands.

I'm Xia Wan Jin. (Means "10,000 gold.") Or you can call me Xia Yi Chui. (Gavel.)

Then might I ask... have you been to Yan City before?

Aren't you here to refine a spirit treasure?

Earthly level... an Earthly level treasure.

It's an incredible object.

Can it be refined?

I've encountered countless artifacts in my life.

There isn't one I can't refine.

However, this particular item is unique.

It requires many other precious items to cultivate it.

I'm afraid I'll have to charge a higher fee.

How much? Just tell me.

- 50,000 Yang Yuan pills. - 50,000 Yang Yuan pills?

That... is enough to buy the girl from before!

60,000.

You increased it again? This... Lin Dong, he--

Listen to him!

- 70,000. - 70,000?

- You-- - All right! 70,000 it is.

- Xiao Yan, quiet. Listen. - He--

- He'll do it again if you don't stop. - How can guests come empty-handed

if they want to refine a spirit treasure?

Perhaps the two of you have some other precious items on you?

Yang Yuan pills.

All right. Sales have their rules.

As long as you can refine it, it doesn't matter how much money it takes.

Please come get your treasure in three days.

- Where are we going? - When we left...

Master Yan reminded me to spend the pills sparingly.

Now I've spent it all in an instant.

Why did you hand it all over then?

Although Thousand Gold Association deals in shady business...

but I'm positive that someone was using emblem magic back there.

And that person was Xia Wan Jin.

That's Emblem Master magic. I don't understand it.

Who would know emblem magic here, besides Ghost Puppet Sect?

An Emblem Master Guild member.

Xiao Yan, not only do you understand human speech better

but you're beginning to understand human matters too.

Do you get it?

Do you really?

Think about it. I purposely revealed the Ancestral Stone to him earlier

just to test him out.

- This is unjust! - Sir!

Sir.

You dropped something.

I...

Lost-and-found retrieval is 300 Yang Yuan pills.

300 Yang Yuan pills?

I'm just kidding around.

Xia... Xia... Xia Yi Chui!

- You sure you can fix it? - I guarantee that I can.

It's a promise then!

I've waited so long... they've finally come.

If Xia Wen Jin is the city's informant, he'll definitely come looking for us.

- Got it? - Then...

The tigress!

Miss, have you come to look at treasures?

If so, you can head to Thousand Gold Association.

They have everything you can think of there.

- Especially-- - Stop talking.

I'm not looking for treasure, I'm looking for a person.

A foolish brat, accompanied by another foolish brat.

Have you seen anyone like that?

She could at least get our descriptions right.

You're a fool, but how am I one?

Have you?

You can go to the Association to find people too. They really have it all!

I could have eaten that.

It looks like that innkeeper is working with the black market.

Everyone in this city is so shady!

- Then let me warn the tigress. - Wait.

Instead of having the Association dupe her, we might as well.

Come on.

- Have you seen an idiot brat? - No.

- How pretty. Have you seen-- - No.

Has anyone seen an idiot brat?

You should ask...

if they've seen an elegant young man followed by--

A strong and sturdy protector.

A demonic beast in human form!

Has anyone seen an idiot brat around?

- Stop running! - After the marten!

- Capture it! - Quick!

Don't run!

- Hurry! - This way!

Hurry!

Just try running again! Hand over the marten!

Xiao Yan, help!

Xiao Yan, come on!

Little Marten, get inside the Qian Kun Bag!

Savage girl, didn't you go home?

Xia Yi Chui?

You buy supplies out of your own pocket?

How else could I be frugal?

Right.

Ghost Puppet Sect is after us right now.

Let's make a deal. Name a price and let us hide in your Association for a bit.

30... 30,000.

You're scamming us!

30,000 Yang Yuan pills in exchange for your lives and this fairy's life.

This isn't a bad deal for you.

- Can I owe you? - I'm not a creditor.

- Xia Yi Chui, just help me out-- - 30,000 Yang Yuan pills.

As expected of Dao Sect's princess.

You have a lot more resources than us.

This money is only yours after it's all over and we're safe.

This lass...

You're brutal.

- Do you want it or not? - Deal.

Let's go!

This feels great! Ghost Puppet Sect isn't a place fit for humans.

You aren't even a human, dumb tiger.

Instead of learning good things from them, you've just learned to blab.

- Who was that greedy old man? - It's just as you said.

He's just a greedy old man.

Although... he's an important piece in our futures.

How so?

It's men's business. Stay out of it.

Emblem Master Guild will pay you back for those Yang Yuan pills.

Look... Look how the Ghost Puppet Sect scared you all.

How humiliating!

Why are they afraid of pissing you off?

That's simple. My place is filled with cultivation elixirs and treasures.

Their sect needs these things to cultivate.

Xia Yi Chui...

- This gold is fake, right? - Don't kid around.

Would the great Thousand Gold Association's boss wear fake goods?

Let's test it out then.

Go ahead.

Little Marten, Xiao Yan! Grab his gold robe so we can exchange it for food!

What are you-- Stop! Don't!

Stop!

I can't believe it... your Emblem Master seal is on your ass!

What do you know?

It's called keeping your behind hot and flaming so that business is lively!

Keep burning then.

You tormented us for so long. Why wouldn't you acknowledge us?

How? There are ears all over this place!

Not to mention, we made a three-day agreement, didn't we?

You have to be thorough when you do things and go step-by-step.

Your "step-by-step" means swindling 10,000 Yang Yuan pills into your hands.

That's only thorough for you, isn't it?

I made it clear from the beginning.

Business is business, it's not good to be lax with such things.

And if you hadn't brought out the Qian Kun Bag

how could I have seen the Ancestral Stone?

How would I have known to come and rescue you?

And speaking of that, I still haven't been paid for it.

Plus, your marten ate my Yang Yuan pills. I need to be paid for that too.

Why are you so stingy?

- Even Master Yan is more generous! - And that's why he's poor and I'm rich.

How long are you going to keep bickering here?

Huan Huan, come here.

Don't butt your head in men's business!

Actually, we were talking about those 30,000 Yang Yuan pills.

Xia Yi Chui.

- About that money, I'll-- - Men's business, my ass.

So that's what it was all about?

Old man, from now on, his business is my business.

Keep that in mind.

This is good.

It's not bad here!

It's like a whole new universe.

So... do you use this place to sell black market goods or murder people?

I sell black market goods when I have to and kill people when I have to.

How could I reside in this city without a backup plan like this?

I don't even know where I should go looking for a backup plan.

How can a rat not have a backup? They're all over!

You people are so evil. I just came back!

Right, Huan Huan?

I used emblem magic to conceal this place.

Outsiders can't find it. Even if they get in, they'll just walk in circles.

So just stay put and don't go anywhere.

By the way, those three rules of mine apply here as well.

- He's quite thorough. - How else would he earn money?

And how would he act as an informant for Master Yan?

Lin Dong, when will we go look for Qing Tan?

Stupid tiger, you have to eat first to have the energy to go looking.

I'm not eating. The things here are expensive.

It's all right! The savage girl has money.

Who are you to go spending my money?

Who was it that just said that my business was her business?

You two, your claws really bother me.

I have two bone-thawing pills here that can get rid of your claws.

Are these the same as transformation pills?

Transformation pills aren't so easily obtained.

These are bone-thawing pills.

They aren't as strong as transformation pills

but at the very least, it can get rid of these claws.

Then...

Once we eat it, will we turn into real humans like Lin Dong and Qing Tan?

You can try. But the process is extremely painful.

You could even lose your life.

Are these fake pills? My life is very precious to me.

- I'm not taking this. - Cowardly as a rat.

Xiao Yan, let's not take it either.

I'll buy you a cloak to cover this up.

Xiao Yan, don't be stupid! Spit it out. Listen to me, spit it out!

Old man, you didn't give him a fake pill, did you?

Let me see.

Maybe it's been on the shelf for too long and lost its potency.

Well, the claw is still there, but we preserved his life...

so it's not a total loss.

You see? I knew there was something wrong about those pills.

"Cowardly as a rat"? I've lived for over 900 years!

- Rat. - I--

Xiao Yan, listen to me from now on.

Oh, Lin Dong. No matter how much you try, you can't escape my clutches.

End things with Lin Dong before your feelings for him escalate.

Forget the past.

- Can you bear to do this to me? - As your father, no.

But as Ying Xuan Zi, yes.

This bird is called the Ursa Major. It possesses knowledge of all directions.

Ursa Major...

It will take you to Lin Dong.

You should leave soon, or you may regret it.

Foolish child.

You can't feel regret when you have no emotions or feelings.

Master, you told me to keep watch over her no matter what.

I even betrayed her in order to do that.

Yet you've let her run away.

What am I supposed to do?

What is Lin Dong like?

He's just a kid from the mountains.

Then you're saying that my daughter has bad taste.

No. Master, that's not what I meant.

Never mind.

If her heart is elsewhere, she won't be able to cultivate properly.

Might as well let her think things through herself.

The Emblem Master Guild is gaining momentum now.

She can prepare herself by gaining experience with them.

Master, Junior Ying has always been naive and carefree.

I've never seen her so distressed.

I can't bear it.

You can't bear it.

Then cultivate in her place.

I can't.

I don't think you have the courage either.

Father, I'm aware of my duty.

It's just that I'm fond of Lin Dong and don't want to leave without a word.

I just want to see him one last time and say a proper farewell.

I don't want to have any regrets.

Lang Tian, it's so cold here.

But according to this map, the Space Ancestral Emblem should be nearby.

The fog is getting more dense.

I'll walk in front. Follow me and don't let go.

Come on.

Come.

Master?

- Master-- - Don't call me that.

It means that I'll lose money. ("Master" and "loss" are homophones.)

Call me Xia Wan Jin.

Or... Xia Yi Chui.

I collected these over time, I don't know if they'll be of any use.

Useless.

- You-- - Not you, I mean these objects.

- Why are you causing trouble? - I'm not, I wanted to help.

You really want to help?

Burn this ancient crocodile skull for two hours.

I'll help you fix your spear up.

What do you think?

My handiwork isn't bad, huh?

I don't just know how to make money. I'm skilled with my hands too.

If you called yourself number two in this city, no one would dare to be number one!

Since we're all on the same side here, can you... not require payment for this?

You know that all travelers aren't wealthy.

Let me tell you once again.

Business is business. You can't be lax with such things.

But since you helped me before...

I can... give you a discount on the map deciphering.

What? That costs money too?

Naturally.

Fine. Then I'll let everyone know that the Yang Yuan stones you have here

are all empty inside, the gold you wear is all fake

the tea you sell is defective, and your Emblem Master seal is on your ass.

I mean, I don't care about dignity.

Don't! Don't be a charlatan!

I'm the disciple of an old charlatan.

So I'm a young charlatan.

All right, fine. The map deciphering will be free.

That sounds more like it.

What's the matter?

This map... I'm not saying this because you're not paying me.

But this map is very complex.

I can't decipher it on my own.

- Unless... - Unless what?

There's an artifact called the Spirit Wheel Mirror.

Legend has it that someone retrieved it from the Great Desolation Tablet.

It can overturn the universe and help condense Spirit Power incredibly.

Hold on.

- What was that Great... - Great Desolation Tablet.

What is that?

It's a martial arts artifact treasury from ancient times.

- Then let me ask-- - Don't. Otherwise, you'll have to pay.

All right, I won't. Keep going.

They say that centuries ago, someone used the Spirit Wheel Mirror

to break into the Great Desolation Tablet.

Then...

he disappeared without a trace.

And then?

Well, he disappeared.

But it's slightly coincidental.

Just at that time, Great Puppet Sect grew in power.

They split from Emblem Master Guild.

Ghost Puppet Sect...

Don't fret. Don't fret.

You have to eat one bite at a time and do things one step at a time.

I'll find things out for you after I fix up this spear of yours.

Xiao Yan told me this was a shady business and I was worried, so...

How unexpected of you.

- I... - Xia Wan Jin just told me...

that I need to find the Spirit Wheel Mirror to decipher the map.

But I don't have any clues.

Where am I supposed to go looking for it?

Lin Dong! Don't worry.

I can help you look for it.

Have you been possessed?

You're different somehow.

How so? How am I different?

Just so you know, rouge can be smelled in close proximity.

No matter how much talcum powder you use, you're still a savage girl.

Are you hungry again?

Go find Qing Tan!

Xiao Yan.

You have to eat one bite at a time and do things one step at a time.

But you promised me we'd go looking for her once we got here!

- I-- - Xiao Yan!

We'll go together after the spear is fixed, all right?

She's with a bad person right now.

If you guys won't go, I will.

Xiao Yan! Wait!

This is bad. If he trespasses onto Ghost Puppet Sect territory, it will get ugly.

Then why are you frozen here? Hurry and find him!

This city is filled with danger. Together, we'd be a more obvious target.

You stay here, I'll go find him!

Running all over like brainless flies... what a joke.

This map is fake.

How is that possible? Why would Lin Dong lie to me?

It's not that it "may" not end well. It will definitely not end well for him.

I just want you to take care of yourself.

As for the real map, I'll look for it.
