Half a month has passed since the Wang family of Demon Suppression City was destroyed. Their family assets were quickly annexed by the City Lord's Mansion and the other two major families.

On this day, Gu Changsheng, as usual, laid a piece of tattered cloth on the ground with a sign that read, "One Supreme Origin Crystal solves one problem."

In the past half-month, apart from encountering a stray member of the Gu family lineage on the first day, his small stall hadn't seen any business.

However, Gu Changsheng didn't mind. He believed in fate and "origin" points. As long as someone gave him ten thousand Supreme Origin Crystals, he could even help them become immortal.

Unfortunately…

"A bunch of short-sighted fools."

Gu Changsheng grumbled as he took out his wine pot, only to find it empty.

"Alas, I can only wait for Hong Hong to win the competition to get Origin Crystals," Gu Changsheng sighed, already planning how to spend Hong Hong's prize money.

Then, he took out the piece of jade he had obtained from Gu Xichao.

Gu Changsheng looked at the jade in his hand, his eyes filled with curiosity.

This jade was just a fragment and didn't belong to this universe.

This universe was called the Mortal Realm, the origin of the name was unknown, but this piece of jade piqued Gu Changsheng's interest.

The jade was simple and unadorned, but Gu Changsheng could see through its essence. It contained an extremely powerful force, but because it didn't belong to the Mortal Realm, it was sealed by the Heavenly Dao of the Mortal Realm.

If it were to fully erupt, it would be no less than a strike from a Quasi-Emperor.

And this piece of jade might only be one in a billion, or even less.

At this moment, a white-robed youth carrying a black rectangular box walked over.

The youth had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, exuding a faint sword intent. He squatted down, looking at Gu Changsheng with curiosity.

"Kid, haven't you seen a handsome guy before?" Gu Changsheng put away the jade and said casually, but he was a little surprised. In this small Demon Suppression City, he had encountered two special physiques. The first was naturally his descendant, Gu Xiruo, who possessed the Taiyin Holy Body.

And the second was the white-robed youth in front of him carrying a black sword box, born with sword bones.

Observing his appearance, Gu Changsheng narrowed his eyes.

The sword-boned youth's eyes flashed with disdain, muttering, "Never seen someone so narcissistic."

"Oh, ho!"

Gu Changsheng was amused. It was the first time he had encountered someone who dared to look at him with disdain.

Gu Changsheng said, "Kid, what's your name?"

"Li Beifei."

The sword-boned youth blurted out, then quickly covered his mouth, looking at Gu Changsheng in surprise. He originally wanted to say, 'It's none of your business,' but he ended up saying his name.

"You…" Li Beifei stared at Gu Changsheng with wide eyes, his heart filled with shock.

"Do you have Origin Crystals?" Gu Changsheng asked.

"I have some, but not much, only a few hundred Middle-Grade Origin Crystals," Li Beifei once again couldn't control himself and told the truth. At this moment, his heart had changed from shock to fear. This person who looked to be in his twenties could actually control his words.

"Oh?" Gu Changsheng's eyes lit up, and then he threw the wine pot in his hand to Li Beifei, saying, "Kid, I'll give you a chance to show your respect. Go to Drunken Immortal Residence and fill this with Drunken Immortal Brew."

Li Beifei took the seemingly ordinary wine pot. Just as he was about to say something, his feet involuntarily started walking towards Drunken Immortal Residence.

"A few hundred Middle-Grade Origin Crystals, one Middle-Grade Origin Crystal can buy one pot, a few hundred pots, enough for me to drink for half a year."

Gu Changsheng calculated the direct relationship between Li Beifei's Origin Crystals and the Drunken Immortal Brew.

Clearly, Gu Changsheng unceremoniously took possession of Li Beifei's Origin Crystals.

Soon, Li Beifei returned with the wine pot filled with Drunken Immortal Brew. He looked at Gu Changsheng with a sullen expression, unwilling to hand it over, but his hands wouldn't obey.

Gu Changsheng smiled and took it, looking at the little guy's dissatisfied eyes, and said, "Do you think I did something to you so you couldn't control yourself?"

Li Beifei didn't speak, but the expression on his face told Gu Changsheng the answer.

Gu Changsheng had a faint smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and gently waved it, and the black sword box on Li Beifei's back fell into his hand.

Li Beifei's expression changed drastically, and his Transcendent Peak aura erupted, his long hair fluttering.

But Gu Changsheng ignored Li Beifei, instead reaching out to stroke the black sword box. When the sword box reached Gu Changsheng's hand, it flashed a light that was invisible to the naked eye, and a trace of remembrance flashed in Gu Changsheng's eyes.

After a long time, he threw the sword box back to Li Beifei and said, "Cultivate well, don't let it down."

Li Beifei took the sword box, quickly put it back on his back, his heart filled with doubt and vigilance. From Gu Changsheng's expression just now, he could be sure that Gu Changsheng knew the origin of the sword box.

His sword box was called the Seven Star Sword Box. When he was young, he accidentally drowned while playing in the river. At that time, the sword box suddenly appeared from the water and carried him ashore.

But he had never told anyone the origin of the sword box. Why would Gu Changsheng know? He couldn't help but be vigilant, because the Seven Star Sword Box was very powerful.

He was only fourteen years old when he drowned. Since then, he had learned some simple sword techniques from the sword box and began to practice swordsmanship. It had only been less than two years, but he had already cultivated to the Transcendent Peak. It would take ordinary people more than ten years to cultivate from a mortal to the Transcendent Realm, but he had only used less than two years, which showed the extraordinary nature of the Seven Star Sword Box.

He came to Demon Suppression City this time to participate in the arena competition, not to obtain a place to join the Yin Yang Sect, but for the first place prize of ten thousand Supreme Origin Crystals, because he needed a lot of resources to break through to the凝神境 (Condensing Spirit Realm), so he set his sights on the reward of the Demon Suppression City arena competition.

"Kid, become my disciple!"

Gu Changsheng said surprisingly.

"Huh?" Li Beifei was a little dazed, but the next moment, a surge of energy came from the sword box on his back, causing him to kneel in front of Gu Changsheng with a plop, and then the sword box pressed his body, making him kowtow three times to Gu Changsheng.

"Not bad, as the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. Little Bei, since you have already become a disciple, then your teacher will keep your Origin Crystals safe for you, so as not to be robbed by villains."

After saying that, before Li Beifei, who was still kneeling on the ground, could react, the hundreds of Middle-Grade Origin Crystals on his body were taken away by Gu Changsheng.

"You…"

"You what, no manners, call me Master!" Gu Changsheng slapped Li Beifei on the head, this impolite fellow.

"I haven't admitted…"

"Hmm?" Gu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze revealing danger, "It seems you haven't adapted yet, your teacher will help you adapt."

Then, Gu Changsheng gave Li Beifei a lesson of love.

Before long, Li Beifei was lying on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face, attracting strange gazes from people on the street.

Gu Changsheng chuckled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just educating my rebellious disciple, haha, move along, move along."

The crowd dispersed quickly upon hearing this. They couldn't interfere in other people's master-disciple affairs, but the person who was beaten, how did he look a bit like the Nine Swords Young Master Li Beifei? That's not right, wasn't it rumored that the Nine Swords Young Master Li Beifei was a rogue cultivator, where did he get a master…

"Stop pretending to be dead, get up quickly," Gu Changsheng said indifferently, looking at Li Beifei lying motionless on the ground.

Li Beifei opened his eyes, which were even darker than a panda's, and looked at Gu Changsheng with a face full of grievance.

"Quickly call me Master," Gu Changsheng urged.

Li Beifei was afraid that Gu Changsheng would beat him up at the slightest disagreement, so he succumbed to Gu Changsheng's lewd power and shouted with a lisp, "Shi… Shifu (師父, Master)!"

"Good, why didn't you do this earlier, come, let your teacher see, who beat you up like this."

As he said that, Gu Changsheng helped Li Beifei up. And when Li Beifei heard Gu Changsheng's shameless words, two lines of clear tears flowed down.

He regretted it, he was just curious to see who put up the impossible sign of "Ten Thousand Supreme Origin Crystals to solve a problem", but he didn't expect to get himself involved. Knowing this today, why bother back then, this sentence is very true.

"Little Bei, pack up the stall," Gu Changsheng ordered, since he already had money for wine, he didn't need to set up a stall.

Li Beifei used his spiritual power to soothe his lips, and finally spoke without a lisp: "Pack up what stall?"

Li Beifei looked at the stall with only a piece of tattered cloth, and even this piece of tattered cloth had some dried blood stains, was this even usable?

"Pa da ~" Gu Changsheng slapped Li Beifei on the head and said, "Looking down on your teacher's Emperor Corpse Cloth?"

"No, no, disciple dares not," Li Beifei quickly put away the tattered cloth. He didn't care how big the origin of this tattered cloth was, it was important to save his life first. Who knew if this madman would beat him up again?

"What are you thinking about? Keep up," Gu Changsheng, who was already walking ahead, said to him.

"Oh," Li Beifei wanted to run away, but when he thought of Gu Changsheng's unfathomable strength, he gave up the idea. Besides, all his Origin Crystals had been taken away, if he didn't follow, would he have to sleep on the streets?
