Primordial Harem System

Chapter 261 Emptying the Market

"I'll take it," Shen Yuan said without hesitation. His gaze then shifted to a shelf lined with fiery feathers, fire lotus seeds, and molten crystals. "And everything else you've got that's related to fire elements and thunder elements."

The shopkeeper blinked, stunned. "Senior Brother, are you… sure? This is one of our most expensive collections. And that thunder-related stuff… this would be the biggest sale of my life."

Shen Yuan smiled faintly, tossing yet another spatial ring onto the counter. "Do I look like someone who asks twice?"

The fox-like woman smiled slyly, her tail swishing slightly behind her as she packed up the treasures. "Of course not, Senior Brother. You're someone who gets what he wants."

[She's practically flirting with you now,] Yue Lan said with a laugh. [Will you now have two foxes in your harem?]

"I'm here for treasures, not for wives," Shen Yuan replied with a light chuckle.

Shop after shop, stall after stall, Shen Yuan left the female disciples either stunned, smitten, or both.

From fire Qi refinement scrolls to rare elixirs, defensive treasures to combat artifacts, he bought out everything remotely useful—or simply interesting.

His storage ring was rapidly filling, but he didn't care about it as he would just start throwing the stuff into his inventory.

By the time he nearly emptied the entire market, even the sun began to dip lower from the skies above, casting a warm glow over the market.

"Well, that should be enough," Shen Yuan said, adjusting his sleeves.

[Enough? You've practically plundered the Inner Sect Market,]

Yue Lan teased.

[If word gets out, they might start calling you 'Young Master Shen, the Market Conqueror.']

"Good. Let them. At least then people will know not to challenge me in a bidding war," Shen Yuan said with a smirk, making his way back toward the spatial portal.

[That's true, you will have a far easier time in the Auction houses if you become popular like this.]

Her bell-like laughter rang in his mind.

"Anyways, now that I have got all the necessary and unnecessary things from the market, I won't have any issue if the two of them didn't prepare anything at all." He lightly said while walking.

[Hmm… You used quite a lot of supplies during your last journey to the Mystique Realm.]

"Doesn't matter, I took a lot of those things from the outer sect market, and I also earned a good amount from that Ironwood idiot." Lightly shaking his head, he made his way towards the Spatial Portals.

They still shone majestically while standing at the center of the hub.

He paid the Spirit Stones before making his way into one of the portals.

…

"Space is really something huh." He commented softly while sitting in his courtyard.

[You have only stepped foot on the Grand Space Dao, the true miracles are yet unknown to you.]

She yawned and said while lazing lying on his shoulder.

Shen Yuan softly patted Xueyan who was lying on his lap peacefully.

[Heh, this poor girl has really been in the Beast Companion Space for far too long. I'm afraid you might have totally forgotten about her.]

Shen Yuan's eyes twitched because what she said was indeed true, "Hey, I didn't forget about her, I was just busy."

[Yeah yeah sure. But it's a good thing she didn't feel the passage of time otherwise she might be crying in that space.] Your next journey awaits at empire

He looked down while patting her, at that time Xueyan also raised her head to look at Shen Yuan in the eye.

"No need to stare at me like that, I didn't forget about you, I was just busy." He gently smiled and pulled her up in his embrace.

Xueyan softly purred and rubbed her face with Shen Yuan's chest.

"Haha, Good girl." He finally laughed while exhaling a sigh of relief.

[This girl will only suffer losses with you in the future it seems.]

"Nah, she won't suffer losses with me." He smiled and continued, "I will make sure she has one of the most leisurely lives on the Mortal World."

[She is already on the Peak of Foundation Establishment realm from all those Spirit Stones you gave her.]

"That's a good thing, she can become stronger faster to protect my family." He patted her back while smiling softly.

[Heh, be careful or she might surpass you.]

Yue Lan smirked before turning into light and going back in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Haha, that's good as well, I will have someone so cute to protect me." He smiled before placing Xueyan on his lap and closed his eyes to comprehend the Intents that he had mastered.

'He might learn the Weapon Master Intent at this rate.' Yue Lan thought to himself while seeing the various spiritual weapons being materialized around Shen Yuan.

…

Knock Knock

Shen Yuan slowly opened his eyes as he heard someone knocking on his door.

"Are they finally here?" He softly spoke as the Spiritual Weapons around him dispersed into Qi again.

Xueyan raised her head before rubbing face with his clothes to get his attention.

He looked down to see Xueyan on his lap. Gently smiling, he began, "Well, sorry about it but the region I'm going to is far too dangerous for someone at your current level."

Xueyan tilted her head cutely while staring at him.

"Haah… never mind, just enter the Companion Space and rest for a bit." He said before sending her into that space, he placed a lot of high-tier Spirit Stones for her to eat.

[What luxury indeed, I don't think even the Inner Sect disciples here had this level of luxury while they were cultivating.]

"How can they compare to my Xueyan?" He smirked before rising from his chair and heading towards the gate.

"Well, I kept them waiting long enough, let's head out now."

Shen Yuan opened the gates to see Han Qingyu and Wan Ling waiting for him, both dressed in classic disciple robes.

Han Qingyu's silver hair shined brightly under the sunlight, already looking forward to the journey with bright eyes, while Wan Ling's gentle face also held a hint of excitement for the upcoming journey.

"Brother Yuan, you're finally here," Han Qingyu said, crossing her arms with a playful huff. "I thought you forgot about going with us today."

Wan Ling lightly shook her head, smiling gently, "It's fine Senior Brother. We've only been here for a short time."

Shen Yuan chuckled lightly, closing the gate behind him. "Looks like you both are quite eager for this trip, then let's not waste any more time."

[Hehe, looks like you will have your hands full taking care of these two. I hope they can keep up with your pace there.]

Her playful voice echoed in his mind.

'No need to worry, I can take care of them easily,' Shen Yuan replied internally as he gestured for the two of them to follow after him. "Let's head out."

…

The three of them made their way through the sect's ground toward the main gate.

The surrounding disciples paused in their tracks, staring at the group as Shen Yuan had gotten far too famous due to his recent feat. And him leading two beauties side by side only further made the crowd gossipy.
