Is a C-level Daughter of Destiny also eligible for a tenfold return at the start?

  Xu Xiao's eyes lit up, and he quickly waved his hand, saying, "Danian, stop the carriage. They're disciples of our sect. Since we've run into them, let's go take a look."

  Lu Danian immediately nodded, "Yes, Uncle-Master."

  To him, the words of his Uncle-Master were as good as w.

  Whatever he said was absolute!

  On the other side of the crowd, the Middle-aged Steward looked calmly at a group of customers demanding their rights, a slight smirk fshing in his eyes.

  These disciples of the Misty Sect were truly like flowers in a greenhouse—naive and easy to deceive.

  Right now, he had the upper hand, and even if the elders of the Misty Sect came, they couldn't do anything to him.

  Not to mention, the Misty Sect usually wouldn't bother with trivial matters involving a few Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!

  "Sister, let it go. Although the quality of these three Foundation Establishment Pills is poor, they still have some effect. With a bit of luck, you might still establish your foundation..."

  Two ordinary-looking female disciples beside her tried to console her.

  It was obvious that the shopkeeper had no intention of refunding, and there was nothing they could do...

  The two male disciples who came along felt a bit embarrassed. Sister Lin was their ideal.

  They also wanted to stand up for Sister Lin.

  But now, the other party not only had the upper hand but was also a high-stage Core Formation cultivator... They really didn't dare to make a fuss.

  The crowd of onlookers was also gritting their teeth in anger. These unscrupulous merchants were truly a disgrace to Tiger Roar City!

  "Ahem, what's going on up ahead? Is someone bullying the disciples of my Misty Sect?"

  Just as everyone was about to disperse, an old voice came from the back of the crowd.

  Immediately after, Xu Xiao, dressed in a gray robe, walked over with Lu Danian in a blue robe.

  When the surrounding crowd saw the Eight Trigrams Blue Robe on Lu Danian, they were all stunned.

  An Outer Sect Elder of the Misty Sect!

  In an instant, the surrounding onlookers were filled with joy!

  These damned merchants, now that the elders of the Misty Sect have arrived, let's see how arrogant you can be!

  They were as excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline, their faces flushed, ready to watch the Middle-aged Shopkeeper make a fool of himself.

  The five disciples, upon recognizing Lu Danian, were immediately overjoyed.

  "Di... Disciple, greets Elder Lu!"

  As the Outer Sect Law Enforcement Elder, Lu Danian appeared frequently, and almost all Outer Sect disciples knew him.

  "Ahem."

  Lu Danian didn't respond but instead gnced at Xu Xiao beside him.

  The five disciples looked again, and upon carefully observing Xu Xiao's face, they were thunderstruck.

  They immediately knelt down, bowing before Xu Xiao.

  The beautiful and slender female disciple was so excited she almost cried, kowtowing and wiping her tears, "Disciple Lin Yan'er, please, Elder Xu, uphold justice for me!"

  The commotion caused by the five Misty Sect disciples shocked everyone around.

  The elderly man with white hair clearly had an extraordinary identity, with a status definitely higher than the Outer Sect Elder of the Misty Sect beside him!

  The Middle-aged Shopkeeper and his staff at the shop entrance turned pale at the sudden appearance of the Misty Sect elder.

  The Middle-aged Shopkeeper's eyes showed a hint of panic.

  This... could they be so unlucky...

  To run into a high-ranking figure of the Misty Sect??

  "Get up, tell me if you've been wronged."

  Xu Xiao stepped forward and kindly helped Lin Yan'er and the others up, nodding with a slight smile as he looked at the young woman in front of him.

  Lin Yan'er, dressed in a light blue robe, had a slender and graceful figure, as light as a willow branch.

  Her complexion was as fair as snow, her beauty like a painting, resembling a blooming green lotus, exuding an enchanting youthful aura.

  Her eyes were clear as water, carrying a hint of warmth and innocence.

  Her hair was bck and shiny, cascading like a waterfall down her back.

  She was as pure and lovely as the girl next door.

  Certified by the system as a Daughter of Destiny, at least in terms of appearance, she was spot on.

  Lin Yan'er and the others looked at Xu Xiao, filled with excitement and surprise.

  They hadn't expected to encounter the renowned Elder Xu at such a critical moment!

  He was known for his virtue and kindness within the sect!

  A male disciple quickly stepped forward, pointing at the unscrupulous merchants across the street, and exaggeratedly recounted what had happened.

  With Elder Xu backing them, the five of them were now brimming with confidence.

  Even if the City Lord of Tiger Roar City came, they would still get Sister Lin's spirit stones back today!

  The surrounding onlookers were now even more expectant, with some even recognizing the esteemed elder of the Misty Sect.

  "That... that seems to be Elder Xu Xiao of the Misty Sect's Inner Sect!"

  "What?! This elder is Xu Xiao?? The Sect Master's senior brother?!"

  "It's over, it's over, this shop is finished. Bullying the Misty Sect's people and getting caught by Inner Sect Elder Xu himself."、

  ***

  Xu Xiao listened to the male disciple's compint.

  He smiled and looked at the Middle-aged Shopkeeper and his staff ahead.

  Lu Danian cooperatively released a terrifying Nascent Soul pressure, enveloping the shopkeeper and his staff.

  Feeling this sudden overwhelming pressure.

  With a "thud," the Middle-aged Shopkeeper and four or five staff members went weak in the knees and knelt down.

  The Middle-aged Shopkeeper's face turned ashen, with none of his previous arrogance.

  He had just heard that this white-haired elder was actually an Inner Sect Elder of the Misty Sect, Elder Xu Xiao!

  "Elder Xu! It's all a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!!"

  The Middle-aged Shopkeeper barely managed to stand up and hurriedly ran to Xu Xiao and Lu Danian to apologize, "Elder Xu, there must be a misunderstanding! This young dy's pills must have been swapped by someone else! It really has nothing to do with our shop!"

  He didn't dare admit it.

  If he admitted it, and someone reported his shop to the City Lord's Mansion, it would be over.

  Unlucky... now he just wanted to pay to settle the matter...

  Xu Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, our Misty Sect is reasonable. If it was indeed swapped, I'll apologize to the shopkeeper on behalf of these juniors. Danian, bring those three Foundation Establishment Pills here to check if they came from this shop."

  Lu Danian nodded, "Yes, Uncle-Master."

  "No need!"

  The Middle-aged Shopkeeper's face turned white, and he quickly said, "No need to check, we'll compensate, we'll compensate threefold!"

  A Nascent Soul cultivator had countless ways to trace the origin of these pills.

  Xu Xiao smiled and said, "Really no need to check? Our Misty Sect wouldn't take advantage of you for no reason."

  "Really no need!"

  The Middle-aged Shopkeeper wiped his sweat and forced a smile, "Elder Xu, your presence at our humble shop is an honor! How could we trouble Elder Xu with such trivial matters! Rest assured, Elder Xu, nine Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!"

  With that, he took out nine glowing jade-white spirit stones from his storage pouch.

  These were Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, each worth ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

  And one High-Grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

  The nine Mid-Grade Spirit Stones were directly handed to Lin Yan'er, who was momentarily stunned and a bit dazed.

  Afterward, she looked at Xu Xiao, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration and gratitude.

  Elder Xu, you're truly wonderful...

  Seeing this, Xu Xiao didn't refuse and smiled at the Middle-aged Shopkeeper, "In that case, thank you, Shopkeeper."

  "No need, no need! It's the least we could do!"

  The Middle-aged Shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, finally relieved.

  Luckily, they didn't pursue the matter further...

  The surrounding onlookers were thrilled to see the shopkeeper and his staff humbled before Xu Xiao.

  Some even blushed with excitement, wishing they had such a senior to support them...

  After being complimented a few more times by the shopkeeper, Xu Xiao walked over to Lin Yan'er and smiled, "Your name is Lin Yan'er?"

  Lin Yan'er was startled and quickly bowed respectfully, "Outer Sect Disciple Lin Yan'er, thank you, Elder Xu..."

  "Seeing that you're at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, you should be in need of Foundation Establishment Pills."

  Xu Xiao slowly took out ten pristine, fwless pills from his Spatial Storage and handed them to her, "I have some Foundation Establishment Pills here that I don't need. You don't have to buy them; I'll give them to you."

  With those words.

  Everyone around was dumbfounded.

  The four companions beside her showed extreme envy.

  Not only them, but even the onlookers were staring bnkly at Xu Xiao.

  This was the Misty Sect's Inner Sect Elder Xu Xiao?

  Giving away ten Foundation Establishment Pills just like that??

  This girl's luck was incredible!
