　　“I won’t take them out this time. It’s not too late to bring them to the Shiyi Zhai and sell them when the Golden Scale Association is over. Also, if I can still meet that Gongshu Bai, I can give him another one. I can’t just take someone else’s things for nothing.”
　　While thinking like this, Xu Taiping put the golden man and the Rainstorm Pearl into the iron gourd and prepared to study them carefully when he went to the Xuanyun Martial Arts Hall later.
　　As for the matter of setting up a stall, it would end here.
　　Today, he earned nearly twenty thousand gold essence coins, which was enough for his left eye to squander for a while.
　　”Leave, leave, leave quickly. You can’t set up stalls here today. If you want to set up stalls, go elsewhere！”
　　Just as Xu Taiping was about to close his stall, a team of patrolling city guards suddenly came to their stall and kept driving away the cultivators setting up stalls.
　　Although these cultivators were very dissatisfied, the other party was from the imperial court and they didn’t dare to say much. They could only move away obediently.
　　Xu Taiping looked at these patrolling city guards and then at Shopkeeper Sun who was standing at the door of Shiyi Zhai with a smile on his face. He immediately understood what had happened.
　　”This shopkeeper of Shiyi Zhai is really stingy. Well, I’ve already earned the gold essence money and there’s no need to set up this stall anymore.”
　　Although there was also a little anger in his heart, after achieving his goal, he didn’t bother to argue with such a person.
　　”You, you, you, and you, get out, all of you！”
　　”Why don’t you let us in！”
　　”That’s right. We just came out to take a look. Why can’t we go in.”
　　”Just because this is Shiyi Zhai！ Just because I’m the shopkeeper of Shiyi Zhai！”
　　Just as Xu Taiping put away the fur on the ground and was about to leave, he suddenly heard another commotion at the door of Shiyi Zhai.
　　Looking up, he saw a group of cultivators being blocked at the door by Shopkeeper Sun and several subordinates of Shiyi Zhai and were not allowed to enter.
　　Xu Taiping took a careful look at this group of people and found that they were either vendors who set up stalls with him or customers who had bought things from him.
　　So obviously, that shopkeeper Sun was taking the opportunity to retaliate.
　　“Isn’t this mind too small？”
　　Xu　Taiping　frowned.
　　Looking at those embarrassed cultivators who were driven out, he, who had always had an easy-going temper, was also a little irritated at this time.
　　Looking around, he found that there were still several vacant spaces on the opposite street where he could set up a stall. So he picked up the wolf king fur in his hand and quickly walked towards the opposite side of the street.
　　“A mere casual cultivator also wants to fight against Shiyi Zhai. Overestimating one’s strength.”
　　Looking at Xu Taiping’s figure walking towards the opposite side with the fur, that shopkeeper Sun couldn’t help but grin and laugh out loud. The fat on his cheeks was almost covering his eyes.
　　“Shopkeeper Sun.”
　　Just then someone called out to shopkeeper Sun.
　　Shopkeeper Sun turned around and saw that his face changed drastically. He said with a respectful expression on his face：
　　“Elder Song, why did you come down？”
　　The person who came was precisely the Great Shopkeeper Song of Shiyi Zhai.
　　“Miss Mu is about to come, and I’m a little worried, so I came down to take a look.”
　　As Great Shopkeeper Song spoke, he looked out the door.
“Old Song, don’t worry. The matter has been taken care of. After the shop guy pasted the notice that Shiyi Zhai will only allow people to go out and not come in later, those who set up stalls had no business and left.”
　　Shopkeeper Sun explained to Shopkeeper Song with a big smile on his face.
　　“Well,　that’s　good.”
　　Shopkeeper Song nodded in satisfaction.
　　But just as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a burst of rapid footsteps coming downstairs from behind, and then one guest after another quickly walked down from upstairs.
　　Seeing this situation, the expressions of Shopkeeper Sun and Shopkeeper Song changed simultaneously. Immediately, Shopkeeper Sun grabbed one person and asked, “Esteemed guest, Shiyi Zhai will soon only allow people to go out and not come in. You are going out at this time. Is there any urgent matter？”
　　“Don’t you know, Shopkeeper？”
　　That guest looked at Shopkeeper Sun with a puzzled expression.
　　“Know what？”
　　Shopkeeper Sun became even more confused.
　　“On the opposite street, someone is selling the Shark Head Hammer, the one that only the Deep Sea Whale Demon can swing！”
　　That person said excitedly.
　　After speaking, he pushed away Shopkeeper Sun’s hand and quickly walked towards the door.
　　Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Sun immediately had a bad premonition in his heart, and the figure of Xu Taiping emerged in his mind.
　　“Could it be him again？”
　　He muttered in his heart.
　　And upon hearing the words of that customer, Shopkeeper Song had long since quickly walked to the entrance of Shiyi Zhai.
　　He looked in the direction where those people were walking, and then saw that a bone hammer, which was more than ten zhang long and made from the skull of a large shark demon, was just lying across the street like that.
　　“It’s really the Shark Head Hammer used by the Deep Sea Whale Demon…”
　　Shopkeeper Song could be considered a person who had seen many big scenes, but he was still shocked into a cold sweat by the huge hammer on the opposite street that exuded a very terrifying coercion.
　　Shopkeeper Sun, who rushed over in a hurry beside him, directly had his legs go weak and staggered and fell to the ground.
　　“Shopkeeper Sun, are you all right?”
　　The shop assistant who was greeting customers at the door quickly helped him up and at the same time muttered with a look of regret： “If Shopkeeper Sun had let that customer in earlier, otherwise, this Shark Head Hammer, he would definitely have sold it to our Shiyi Zhai.”
　　These words, he obviously said them on purpose.
　　“You brat…”
　　“Shopkeeper Sun, what exactly is going on？”
　　Shopkeeper Sun was suddenly furious when he heard these words, but just as the words came out of his mouth, he was interrupted by Shopkeeper Song with a cold face beside him.
　　“This… this…”
　　Shopkeeper Sun stammered and couldn’t say a word for a long time.
　　“You　tell　me！”
　　Shopkeeper Song, with a face full of anger, turned to look at the shop assistant who was guarding the door.
　　“Shopkeeper Sun disliked the guest’s untidy clothes and didn’t want to let him in, so the guest had to go and set up a stall.”
　　As the shop assistant spoke, he also touched his still slightly painful stomach.
　　Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Song was immediately furious.
　　Just as he was about to speak, the sound-transmitting jade slip in his chest heated up, and then the voice of the owner of Shiyi Zhai came to his ears——
　　“Miss Mu has arrived. Hurry up and send someone down to greet her.”
　　Upon hearing this, beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down Shopkeeper Song’s forehead.
　　He slowly raised his head and looked towards the entrance of the street, and then saw a team of people in gorgeous clothes, escorting a carriage and slowly driving towards Shiyi Zhai.
