To perfect their disguises, Jiang Yuan and his companions all transformed to look slightly wounded and disheveled, like they had just been defeated in battle.
"Don't mention it, Thunderstorm Canyon has been taken over by the Human Clan, you know? We tried to snatch it back, but those humans were too strong, we couldn't beat them."
Jiang Yuan spoke with an annoyed tone, "So there, we failed and decided to head back to camp to resupply."
While saying this, Jiang Yuan even feigned embarrassment and changed the subject.
"Let's not talk about that, where are you guys headed?"
"Our commander wants to clear out the Human Clan from our territory, so he sent us out."
The Water Element Spirit Clan youth nodded in understanding, then also spoke with frustration, "Where are there so many humans daring to enter our Elemental Spirit Clan's domain? I've been wandering around almost a whole day and haven't found a single one."
"Indeed, humans wouldn't dare enter our Elemental Spirit Clan's territory." Jiang Yuan also laughed, casually adding a remark.
"Alright, enough of that. I still need to go find humans, don't let me delay you from returning."
After waving them off, the young member of the Water Element Spirit Clan and his teammates departed.
Jiang Yuan exchanged a knowing glance with the Earth Element Spirit Clan member transformed by Laojun.
Laojun smiled, clearly understanding what Jiang Yuan meant.
It had to be said, after Jiang Yuan's muscle weakness was healed, he grew much bolder.
He would definitely not have embarked on this sort of extraneous endeavor before.
"Then, let's go."
"Huh?"
After Laojun finished speaking, Nezha was taken aback.
He felt he didn't understand what Laojun was saying, but he had a feeling that the "go" Laojun mentioned wasn't their original destination.
"Now that the people from the Elemental Spirit Clan are mostly out searching for traces of the Human Clan, we might as well go check out their camp to see if there's anything good."
Jiang Yuan, smiling, explained to Nezha, "No wonder we've seen so many Elemental Spirit Clan members in a hurry along the way."
They indeed encountered many from the Elemental Spirit Clan on their way.
Including the Earth Element Spirit Clan.
However, their identities were not exposed.
As Jiang Yuan mentioned earlier, everyone was in a rush and paid little attention to him and his group.
Only the youth from the Water Element Spirit Clan approached them for a chat.
That had only happened because they made eye contact.
Also, since they were not far from each other, the other party had approached them.
Hmm, they must have a gregarious nature like Mu Qianshan.
"Let's set off, then."
Jiang Yuan took out a map, confirmed the direction, and continued leading Laojun and Zhao Gongming forward.
The Elemental Spirit Clan's camp was actually not very far. By dusk, Jiang Yuan and his team "returned" to the Elemental Spirit Clan's camp.
They even saw the exit to the Elemental Spirit Clan world inside the camp.
However, Jiang Yuan wasn't foolish enough to pass through this exit directly into the world of the Elemental Spirit Clan.
Not to mention whether there would be a racial checking mechanism outside the exit, it would be pointless to go as they wouldn't know the way or recognize anyone. Better to scavenge around here.
"Let's go to the marketplace."
Upon arriving, Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate and headed straight for their market.
It was somewhat different from the Human Clan's market, but generally the same.
It wasn't clear whether it was due to the night or because most of the Elemental Spirit Clan had gone out in search of the Human Clan.
At the moment, there weren't many people buying things in the market of the Elemental Spirit Clan; mostly merchants sat there chatting leisurely and playing cards.
Upon noticing Jiang Yuan and his group's arrival, several stall owners at the market entrance lifted their heads.
"Selling something or here to buy?"
"Buying. Looking to purchase some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, got anything good?"
Seeing someone approach to inquire, Jiang Yuan quickly got into character, assuming the air of a big shot and asked the stall owner.
He was planning to play a big game this time.
Whether it'd be successful or not all depended on this moment.
"I do, I do. I have two Purple Quality heavenly materials and earthly treasures right here, which one would you like?"
The owner, a member of the Wind Element Spirit Clan, immediately got excited upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words.
Throwing his cards on the table, he led Jiang Yuan to his stall.
Due to space constraints, whether it's the Human Clan or the Elemental Spirit Clan, sales typically take place at small stalls.
Once at the stall, the owner immediately opened up a backpack card.
"Have a look, boss. Fire Attribute heavenly material, the Volcano Pearl, Earth Attribute heavenly material, Earth Core Jade – especially the latter, an Earth Attribute treasure, perfect for you, once used it can..."
"No need to explain, I know. How much?" Jiang Yuan interrupted before the stall owner could finish.
"Eight hundred Mid-grade Star Spirit Stones!" The stall owner bit his lip, as if it was difficult for him to decide before he finally made his offer.
"I meant for both."
Jiang Yuan's even voice rang out, causing most of the market's stall owners to pause their actions and look up at the scene.
"For both, I'll give them to you for one thousand five hundred, alright?" The stall owner still looked pained, putting on a generous front to make his offer.
"One thousand two, give them to me for that and we have a deal."
"That price is too..."
Before the stall owner could finish, Jiang Yuan immediately turned and walked away without any hesitation, causing the stall owner to panic.
