“No Dao patterns?”
There was a commotion.
Everyone looked puzzled. They had never heard of such a situation.
“How did this happen?”
The old man surnamed Xie muttered, his brows furrowing.
A moment later, he seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed slightly, and even the way he looked at Tang Hao had a clear change.
Just now, there was still some anticipation and enthusiasm, but now, it had become a little indifferent, and even a little bit of undetectable contempt.
Generally speaking, Dao fruits had Dao patterns on them. Even the legendary Supreme Dao fruit had Dao patterns, and there were ten of them.
It was extremely rare for there to be no Dao patterns, and it would only happen on some defective Dao fruits.
The so-called incomplete Dao fruit was mostly a problem when cutting the Dao. One did not control the power of heaven and earth well and cut off the incomplete Dao fruit. This could be due to one’s own fault, or it could be due to interference from others.
However, no matter what the reason was, this Dao fruit was half-crippled, and its strength was greatly reduced.
A person with a defective Dao fruit could be considered born with a disability in the realm of Dao severance.
Although he was not completely crippled, as long as he had a few good treasures, he would still have considerable combat power. However, he was still not comparable to the others.
In the eyes of the large sects, such a person was worthless.
“A defective Dao fruit?”
“No wonder! Even the Dao stone can’t detect it!”
The others exclaimed in a low voice. Their expressions changed and their eyes turned cold.
A few of them even revealed looks of ridicule and were secretly depressed.
They had followed him excitedly, thinking that they would be able to pick up a treasure. However, they did not expect that it would be such a cripple. It really made them depressed.
“It’s a defective Dao fruit! Hey! When I heard his tone just now, I thought he was some kind of demon! So he’s a cripple!”
The crowd burst into laughter.
The crowd did not hide their sneers.
Tang Hao furrowed his brows and his expression darkened.
However, he did not explain, and there was no need to.
Since these people had misunderstood, then he would let them misunderstand. He had just arrived, and he did not want to be too flamboyant. It was better to keep a low profile, or else it would easily attract some unnecessary coveting.
“Cough! Sect fellow Shi, actually, this is nothing!”
Deacon Yun coughed and said.
He looked a little awkward, and his attitude toward Tang Hao was much colder.
“Men, quickly remove the Dao stones! You guys, don’t crowd around, let’s go!” He waved his hand and began to disperse the crowd.
The crowd continued to roar with laughter.
Their gazes were filled with mockery and disdain. They would occasionally glance at Tang Hao. Some of them even raised their hands and pointed at Tang Hao as if they were watching a joke.
“Qiyuan star, it’s an old antique! It’s already ruined, no wonder such a person appeared!”
“With this level of skill, he dares to come to our side. I wonder when he’ll die!”
The crowd whispered to each other.
“That … Sect fellow Shi!”
The old man surnamed Xie hesitated for a moment before he took a step forward and shouted,”I’ve already explained the general situation to you on the way here. You should understand it by now. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask this Deacon Yun.”
“It’s like this, I still have something to do and have to return to the sect, so I’ll be leaving first!”
He didn’t mention recruiting her anymore, and even his tone was a lot more distant.
The others looked at each other, smiled, and began to speak.
“Sect fellow Shi, I have something to do as well. I have to go back now. If we are fated to meet again in the future, let’s meet again!”
“Sect fellow Shi, I’m leaving too. See you!”
After the group of people finished speaking, they hurriedly turned around and left together.
“Hey! I really didn’t expect this! He had encountered such a weirdo! How unlucky must we be to meet a cripple!”
“Don’t say anymore, it’s unlucky! Hurry up and leave!”
Their voices could still be heard from afar.
In the blink of an eye, this group of people had all left.
“Sect fellow Shi, please don’t mind them. They really have something to do!” Deacon Yun gave an embarrassed smile.
Tang Hao was slightly displeased, but he could understand. These people had thought that he was capable and wanted to recruit him, which was why they had been so enthusiastic. Now that they realized that he was worthless, they naturally turned hostile.
Wasn’t this how the world was?
Forget it!
Tang Hao shook his head. He didn’t care anymore. He smiled at Deacon Yun.”I understand!”
“Oh! It’s good that you understand!” Deacon Yun said with deep meaning.
“Sect fellow Shi,” he said to Tang Hao,”you’re new here, so you must be careful. I’m sure you’re aware of this. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come to the star temple and ask.”
“I know, thank you!”
Tang Hao cupped his hands at him.
“That’s good. I have something to do. I’ll be leaving now!”
Deacon Yun returned the bow, turned around and left.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Hao was the only one left.
He picked up the token, looked at it, laughed, and turned to the exit.
To him, it didn’t matter what these people thought of him. On the contrary, he could keep a low profile. The most important thing was to get familiar with the situation here.
He walked out of the star Hall and walked around.
This was a very large city, built on a floating island, floating tens of thousands of feet in the air.
Not only were there star halls in the city, but there were also all kinds of shops, restaurants, and people walking to and fro on the streets. It looked no different from any other city.
However, upon closer inspection, one would realize that most of the people here were Dao pursuing cultivators. There were no nascent soul formation cultivators on the streets who were at the Dao severing realm.
After asking around, he found out that this was the highest grade market on the high sun planet. It was specifically for Dao seeking and Dao severing, so the things sold here were not ordinary.
The currency used for transactions here was also different from other places. It was stellar crystals that could be used throughout the entire starry sky.
“Stellar crystals?”
Tang Hao mumbled to himself and smiled wryly.
In this new place, he had to change his currency every time. He was going to be poor.
“Let’s earn some money first and get familiar with the environment here. Oh right, there’s also the star map. I have to buy a copy of it. Otherwise, I’ll be in the dark and won’t know where to go.”
Tang Hao thought about it for a while, then made up his mind.
“AI! Shopkeeper, how much is a copy of this star map?”
“Five!”
In the store selling star maps, the shopkeeper replied without even raising his head.
“Five Yuan? It’s so expensive?”
Tang Hao’s mouth twitched.
“F * ck! You think five Yuan is too expensive?” The shopkeeper was shocked.
“Cough, cough! I just got here!”
Tang Hao said, embarrassed.
“F * ck! Then you should hurry up and earn money!” The shopkeeper said in disdain.
“How?”
“Isn’t that simple? just go to the mines and pick some herbs. The money will come in. Although it’s not much, I can still pay five Yuan.” The shopkeeper mumbled.
“Mine?” Tang Hao was stunned. Where are we going to dig?”
“Go to the northern square! There are a lot of people there, you’ll know when you go take a look. ” The shopkeeper said as he waved his hand impatiently.
