"Fellow Daoist Wei?"

Seeing the young female Cultivator Wei Shan, as beautiful as a flower, hesitate and not dare to take his Storage Pouch for a long time, Yang Che deliberately reminded her again with emphasis.

Wei Shan's mind was a mess at this moment. She had never expected that this ordinary-looking Cultivator in front of her could produce three thousand full pattern star stones!

Three thousand!

Not only had she never seen them, but she had never even dared to imagine them.

At this moment, Wei Shan was caught in a dilemma.

Taking the Storage Pouch meant she had to get Yang Che an identity to enter the city.

But if she didn't take it, wouldn't it be difficult to explain herself? This would surely anger this young Cultivator in front of her, and both she and her brother would be in danger.

Just as Wei Shan was feeling extremely anxious and indecisive, the little boy Wei Chen beside her suddenly snatched Yang Che's Storage Pouch and said firmly, "Brother Yang, leave the identity token to me. Wait for me for a moment."

When Wei Shan saw her brother take the Storage Pouch, she thought he was 'greedy for money' and couldn't help but tremble, saying anxiously, "Wei Chen, what are you doing?"

Wei Chen, however, pulled his sister and quickly walked into the wooden house on the first floor, going directly to their parents' spiritual tablets. He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed several times with loud thumps.

Then, from a wooden cabinet beneath the spiritual tablets, he took out a Storage Pouch and, from it, retrieved a wooden token that looked somewhat old.

When Wei Shan saw this token, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she immediately guessed her brother's intention. So she quickly stepped forward, wanting to snatch the token from Wei Chen's hand.

Wei Chen seemed to have anticipated his sister's attempt to snatch it, so he skillfully blocked his sister with his body and directly flung the old wooden token out the door with force towards Yang Che: "Brother Yang, catch it."

Yang Che instinctively reached out and caught it.

It felt cool to the touch.

Yang Che held the wooden token in his hand and examined it carefully, finding the characters 'Wei Yuan' carved on it.

Just then, Wei Shan had already rushed out, a pitiful expression on her face, and said to Yang Che, "Fellow Daoist Yang, this is my late father's identity token. I hope you can return it to me."

"Brother Yang, don't listen to my sister. Our father has already passed away. If this identity token can help Brother Yang enter the city, it's equivalent to our father helping you."

Wei Chen rushed out, quickly ran to Yang Che, and said emphatically, "Our father was a man of integrity and warmth in his lifetime, and he kept his promises. If he knew about this in the afterlife, he would surely understand and support me. Please keep this identity token for now."

Yang Che was stunned by Wei Chen's string of words.

In fact, ever since he arrived here, he had been continuously surprised by this little boy.

At this moment, Wei Chen didn't seem like an eleven or twelve-year-old boy at all; both his expression and tone of voice showed a 'premature maturity'.

However, Wei Shan on the side suddenly yelled at Wei Chen, "Wei Chen, are you crazy? That's Father's relic!"

Wei Chen, however, suddenly raised Yang Che's Storage Pouch with three thousand full pattern star stones in his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"No matter how important Father's relic is, Father is gone after all. Now that his identity token can be exchanged for so many full pattern star rune stones, with these star rune stones, Sister, not only can you enter the 'Purple Heaven Secret Realm' to obtain those Immortal Plants and exchange them for 'Essence Fixing Pill'.

You can also seek revenge on that Wen Tong, and we no longer have to live in this barren land; we can even move to Hedong, next to Holy Scorpion City. With so many benefits, even benefits that can change our destiny, are you still going to insist on it being Father's relic and give it up?"

Wei Shan suddenly froze.

She looked incredulously at Wei Chen, whose face was still childish, and suddenly realized that her younger brother actually had such independent and meticulous thoughts, far surpassing his age.

It was then that she suddenly remembered that her brother had previously said that out of the eight full pattern star stones he promised to this young Cultivator surnamed Yang, six were his own, and he had only taken two from their home!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but begin to take her own brother seriously.

Upon careful thought, her brother's words were not without reason.

This was an opportunity to change their destiny!

Wei Shan quickly realized that if she missed this 'coincidental' opportunity, she might never encounter it again in the future.

Although she still had some lingering reservations, Wei Shan was ultimately persuaded by her brother's words.

She turned around, re-entered the wooden house on the first floor, went to her parents' spiritual tablets, knelt on the ground, and, like Wei Chen earlier, kowtowed several times with heavy thumps.

Afterward, Wei Shan walked up to Yang Che and said she wanted to disguise him, which made Yang Che show a somewhat exasperated expression.

He had intended to expose Wei Shan's 'lie', but unexpectedly, it was resolved by this little boy, Wei Chen.

Originally, Yang Che had some thoughts about whether spending three thousand full pattern star stones was worth it, but after personally witnessing the 'talent' of this little fellow Wei Chen, for some reason, Yang Che developed a fondness for him.

To Yang Che, he felt as if he had watched a grand play performed by the siblings, and through it, he gained a deeper understanding of them.

Although he felt a slight 'blessing in disguise' kind of vexation, regardless, the matter of entering the city was finally settled.

Yang Che was disguised by Wei Shan to look like her and Wei Chen's father, Wei Yuan.

Furthermore, Wei Shan told Yang Che that because their 'commoner' identities all had wooden tokens, even if they died, if they didn't actively report it, the city lord's mansion's registry would still show them as normal records.

So Yang Che only needed to deceive the people in Hexi.

Thus, when night fell, to prevent any unforeseen complications, the three immediately left the Hexi area, stepped onto the stone bridge to the Hedong area, and headed straight for the Holy Scorpion City gate.

At the city gate, the guards were heavily armed.

The arrival of Yang Che and the two siblings was immediately stopped by a Foundation Establishment Late Stage guard: "Show your identity token. How many days will you be entering the city?"

Yang Che already knew that upon entering the city, only the identity token would be checked and the duration of stay confirmed; as for what they were doing, the guards generally wouldn't ask.

"Seven days of entry."

Yang Che said, taking out twenty-one full pattern star rune stones and handing them to the guard.

Then the guard took out a very peculiar small, pointed pestle and a metal circular plate.

Yang Che immediately recognized that the small, pointed pestle was actually a precious 'Array Pestle', and the metal circular plate was undoubtedly a Formation Plate.

The guard skillfully activated the Formation Plate, placed the three wooden identity tokens on it, and then, holding the Array Pestle, meticulously carved seven identical imprints onto each of the three identity tokens.

After doing all this, the guard allowed Yang Che and the two siblings to enter Holy Scorpion City.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, one of these imprints will automatically disappear each day. When only the last one remains, you either leave the city when the time is up, or if you wish to stay longer, you go to the designated places set up by the city lord's mansion in various areas to pay and have more imprints carved. If all imprints disappear and you still haven't left the city, guards will find you and punish you."

After Wei Shan finished speaking, she pulled Wei Chen and continued, "Our transaction is complete. We will take our leave now. If you ever leave Holy Scorpion City someday, please notify us."

After speaking, Wei Shan was about to turn and leave, but Tianxie Ziyin's voice suddenly echoed in Yang Che's mind: "Yang Che, well done, you entered the city so quickly. However, this King still suggests you ask about the 'Purple Heaven Secret Realm' they mentioned earlier. Perhaps there will be news of the purple sky fungus."

Upon hearing this, Yang Che immediately called out to Wei Shan and her brother, who had just turned to leave and hadn't gone far.

Both siblings' hearts tightened, and they both worried inwardly, could it be that Yang Che wanted to go back on his word?
