Several months later...
Hua Xianggu changed into a proper outfit, applied even more rouge to her chubby face, and then used an Illusion Technique to appear as an ordinary Female Cultivator. She approached the Cyan Nether Merchant Association, displaying a hint of Profound Yellow Second Realm power, and thus met with the association's Steward.
To see through someone else's Illusion Technique is a form of provocation. Unless someone is extremely combative, even if they see through Hua Xianggu's Illusion Technique, they won't expose her.
This slightly plump Steward saw through it but said nothing, smiling as he asked, "What would the guest like to purchase?"
Hua Xianggu tossed out a small piece of Yin Qi Crystal, speaking in a constrained voice, "Do you have it?"
The Steward weighed the Yin Qi Crystal, squinted his eyes subtly after a brief observation.
Hua Xianggu said, "You recognize it."
The Steward bowed and said, "I am Wang Tonggu from the Cyan Nether Merchant Association."
