Yang Che naturally caught the look on the young boy Wei Chen's face and the subtle movements of his hands.

However, his expression remained as usual, not revealing the slightest anomaly.

Yang Che picked up the teacup, took another sip, and from the corner of his eye, he noticed cold sweat subtly seeping from the young boy Wei Chen's forehead.

"Wei Chen, if it's difficult, then forget it."

Yang Che gently put down the teacup, a warm smile on his face.

Wei Chen hesitated, as if struggling internally, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Yang, there are two ways to enter the city. One is like my sister and I, being native residents of this Sacred Scorpion Oasis, registered in the Sacred Scorpion City, and with an identity token, and paying one full pattern star stone or ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones daily, one can enter the city."

At this point, Wei Chen suddenly stopped, because he saw his sister Wei Shan quickly walking down from the second floor.

A fragrant breeze arrived first, and Wei Shan walked directly in front of the two and stood still, saying to Yang Che, "Fellow Daoist Yang, the second way is to go to the He Dong black market and buy a fake identity token, and bribe the city guards to enter the city. There is no other way besides that."

After Wei Shan finished speaking, she gave her younger brother Wei Chen an extremely subtle look, which made Wei Chen want to continue saying something, but he stammered a few times and ultimately did not speak.

Yang Che took in the expressions of the brother and sister before him, and a hint of coldness flashed deep in his eyes.

Noticing the change in Yang Che's gaze and demeanor, Wei Shan suddenly bit her red lips, pulled her younger brother Wei Chen, and quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Yang, the matter of you wanting to enter the city with us, my brother and I will discuss it privately. Please wait a moment."

Without explanation, Wei Shan forcefully pulled the bewildered Wei Chen up to the second floor, closed the door, and cast a soundproofing spell.

Wei Chen broke free from his sister's hand, and with cold sweat on his forehead, he hurriedly said, "Sister, what exactly are you trying to do? There's no black market, no fake identity tokens!"

Wei Shan glared at her younger brother and chided, "Brother Chen, did you also notice that this person is not a Cultivator from other Oasis at all? He probably isn't from our Ancient Remnant Sand Sea. Do you know what this means? Once he's discovered, we could be implicated, and our lives would be in danger."

Wei Chen was stunned for a moment, not expecting his sister to have also seen through the person's origin.

"Sister, then what do you say we do?" Wei Chen was, after all, too young and momentarily at a loss for ideas.

Seeing that her younger brother seemed to be frightened by her words, Wei Shan's heart softened, and her voice softened as well: "I ask you, what was the second way to enter the city that you were about to tell him?"

Wei Chen stammered, "I was... I was planning to have him disguise himself as Bao Tiezhu, and then use Bao Tiezhu's identity token to let him enter the city. After he enters the city, we would then bring Bao Tiezhu's identity token back."

Upon hearing this, Wei Shan felt that her younger brother's idea was indeed feasible.

The only concern was, if this person entered the city but did not return Bao Tiezhu's identity token, then it would be a huge problem.

Moreover, how to convince Bao Tiezhu was also a big issue.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Shan still decided to use her own method: "Brother Chen, you also heard it just now. I told that person that we would have to go to the black market to buy a fake identity token and bribe the city guards. We will stick to this method."

"But Sister, there's no black market, no fake identity tokens at all!" Wei Chen's anxiety was mixed with immense doubt.

A hint of bitterness appeared on Wei Shan's pretty face, but she still said firmly, "Brother Chen, the reason I said that is to quote him an extremely high price, to make him retreat in the face of difficulty. Once he leaves, you will..."

At this moment, Wei Shan suddenly leaned in and whispered something very quietly to her younger brother.

After hearing it, Wei Chen's expression immediately changed drastically, and he quickly shook his hand, saying, "Sister, this... this..."

"Brother Chen, this concerns the lives of my brother and I, you must do as your sister says." Wei Shan's tone was full of unquestionable authority.

...

Yang Che had been leisurely sitting in front of the wooden building, drinking Spirit Tea with almost no Spiritual Qi.

On the surface, he remained calm, but in reality, he had already relied on the 'Supreme Talisman' that Tianxie Ziyin gave him, and after strengthening his Divine Sense, he quietly broke through the 'soundproofing spell' set up by Wei Shan, hearing the conversation between the brother and sister clearly.

In fact, after expressing his intention to have Wei Chen and his sister take him into the city, Yang Che had already prepared for his identity to be exposed.

The door of the wooden house on the second floor creaked open.

Wei Shan, with a calm expression, led Wei Chen, who seemed to be in a bad mood, downstairs.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, my brother and I have discussed it and decided to help you buy an identity token from the black market. However, the cost is not small."

After Wei Shan finished speaking, she stared at Yang Che, then looked at her younger brother Wei Chen.

Yang Che gently put down the teacup, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Fellow Daoist Wei, as long as you can help me buy an identity token, everything is negotiable. Tell me, how many Spirit Stones do you need?"

Wei Shan gently shook her head, and unconsciously clenched her fist, then whispered, "Spirit Stones cannot be used, only full pattern star stones, at least... three thousand."

'Hiss', the young boy Wei Chen beside her gasped when he heard the number his sister quoted, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

In his opinion, if his sister quoted a thousand full pattern star stones, it would already be an 'astronomical price', but he didn't expect his sister to ultimately quote a horrifying price of three thousand.

Yang Che's expression gradually turned cold, and he frowned, saying, "Just a fake identity token, and it's so expensive? Can this fake identity token turn into a real one?"

Wei Shan also seemed to realize that she had quoted an 'outrageous' price.

Originally, she only wanted to quote a thousand, but the words changed to three thousand at the tip of her tongue.

Noticing Yang Che's displeasure and suspicion, Wei Shan quickly followed his lead and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang guessed correctly. The so-called fake identity tokens that this black market can produce are just a euphemism. In fact, they can also be registered, after all, no one wants to be found out."

As Wei Shan spoke, cold sweat seeped into her palms, and her heart rate involuntarily quickened a few beats.

This was not what she wanted, but for the sake of her and her younger brother's lives, she had no choice but to 'scare away' the young man in front of her.

Yang Che's brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes deep, and he shook his head and sighed, as if he was struggling intensely with a difficult decision.

This scene made the Wei Shan siblings both happy and worried.

After a while, Yang Che suddenly gritted his teeth, a ruthless look in his eyes, as if he was in extreme pain and reluctance, and said, "Good, three thousand full pattern star stones, I'll pay it."

After speaking, he took out an ordinary Storage Pouch and handed it to the stunned Wei Shan, saying very solemnly, "Then I'll leave it to Fellow Daoist Wei."

Wei Shan recovered from her daze, but she was trembling, her hands shaking slightly, and for a long time, she dared not reach out to take the Storage Pouch that seemed to weigh tens of thousands of catties.

The young boy Wei Chen beside her was equally dumbfounded, he swallowed hard, and then his eyes stared intensely and feverishly at the Storage Pouch in Yang Che's hand.
