C1080 Kill This Child

Since nothing had happened, Ye Bufan didn't waste any more time. He left the Treasure Hall and went straight out of the city.

After walking along the south street for about fifty miles, he arrived near the cat ear cave.

Ye Bufan looked at the bustling town in front of him and truly understood the value of the cat ear cave.

This town was not big, it was rather long and narrow. The main buildings were gathered on both sides of the main road, but at the southernmost point, another road began to extend towards the west, and that road towards the west directly led to the cat's ear cave.

The existence of the entire town was because of the cat ear hole. There were many shops in the town, and the inns and restaurants were all prepared. Ye Bufan even saw the division number of Baohe Hall!

The town was filled with cultivators everywhere, and every single one of them was a cultivator. Not to mention those who were either excited or depressed as they walked in and out of the Cat Ear Cave. Even the shop assistants in the town, the restaurant waiters... They were all cultivators.

This was a small town completely made up of cultivators, and everything was for cultivators.

After coming to this town, there would be an inn to stay at.

Entering the cat's ear hole required detailed preparations. These preparations were nothing more than pill, weapons, and armor. These things could also be bought from the shops in the town.

After obtaining some gains in the cat-eared cave, when they returned to the town, there would be merchants who would come out to purchase them. If they wanted to exchange for pill, they would have to directly divide them into different pharmacies.

If one wasn't keen on eating, drinking, and having fun, then cultivators wouldn't even need to leave this town to be able to continue living here.

If one obtained resources from the Cat's Ear Cave, they would take it out to exchange for a necessary pill, equipment, and increase their own strength. Then, they would continue to enter the Cat's Ear Cave to obtain resources...

This way, they wouldn't even need to return to the Tianyun Racecourse City.

The existence of the small town saved Ye Bufan a lot of trouble. He didn't make any preparations before walking over. Only when he saw those fully armed cultivators entering the Cat's Ear Cave did he realize that he was being too hasty.

Since he had discovered the mistake, he naturally had to correct it immediately.

Ye Bufan wasn't in a hurry to enter the cat ear cave. Instead, he chose to stay in an inn and planned to make preparations before entering the cat ear cave to obtain resources.

After asking around in the city for half a day, he left the city for fifty miles and came to this small town. A day's time was almost up.

Wait. After Ye Bufan settled down at the inn, the sun also fell below the horizon, and the sky turned dark.

After the sky turned dark, the town didn't calm down at all. Instead, it became more and more lively.

During the day, the cultivators weren't preparing to enter the cat ear hole. They were either struggling inside the cat's ear hole, but at night... The cultivators who had been busy for the whole day finally had some free time to gather in the restaurant with their friends whom they were familiar with... It was a good way to relieve their mental stress by drinking and talking about what they had learned and learned today.

Not to mention, cultivators would also take this opportunity to trade with each other, exchanging resources with each other. Merchants would also move out, and the number of transactions in one night would not be any worse than during the day.

With such a lively atmosphere, Ye Bufan naturally did not want to be alone in his room. He also entered a restaurant and poured himself a cup of wine to listen to the idle chatter between the cultivators.

The idle chat between cultivators was very meaningful to him. After all, they were mostly talking about what he saw in the cat's ear cave during the day. It was very valuable for Ye Bufan's following actions, so he listened with great interest.

Just as Ye Bufan was pouring and drinking to his heart's content, a child suddenly walked over from the side. He was twelve or thirteen years old and wore the clothes of a cultivator, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a cultivator. Because this kid's smile was too vulgar, just like a hawker selling Chungong Tu on the street.

"Expert, expert, hello. Let's get to know each other. Everyone in this town calls me Rat." The child smiled ingratiatingly, pulled over the chair beside Ye Bufan, and sat down.

"What's the matter?" Ye Bufan did not dare to look down on this child. Although his name was not good, he had the ability to survive in this town.

Seeing that Ye Bufan did not chase him away, the child laughed and took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket. He waved his hand slightly, as if he was afraid that others would see it.

"Expert, I have the blueprint for the first three levels of the Cat Ear Cave. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Hmm?" Ye Bufan was shocked. There was actually a blueprint for the Cat Ear Cave for sale. If this blueprint was real, who wouldn't buy it? It would be a fool.

However, he did not show it on his face. He said calmly, "Is it true?"

Rat swore in a low voice, "It's definitely true. If it's fake, it came from the horse farm. It's absolutely true."

"How can you prove it?" Ye Bufan would not easily believe him.

Rat rolled his eyes. He did not expect the deal this time to be so bad. This person opposite him was too cautious.

But he also had a countermeasure. He said directly, "Expert, if I can prove it, do I need to sell it to you? This is a possibility. If you believe it, then buy it. If you don't believe me, I'll turn around and leave. You can think about it. I'll come back later. "

As he spoke, Rat left Ye Bufan's table as if nothing had happened. He ran to the other most lively tables to join in the fun.

Rat's background was not good. His father was just a distant relative of a small family. He had never been a cultivator. He was just the manager of a shop. Haozi had been helping in the shop since he was young, and his family only wanted his mother to continue being the shopkeeper. Who would have thought that when he was ten years old, Rat would suddenly be able to successfully transform his mind? He became a cultivator all of a sudden.

This should have been something worth being happy about, but in the end, because of that small family's jealousy, he used the excuse of not being able to use a cultivator to send Rat out.

There was no other way, Rat could only come to Cat's Ear Town, which was the small town next to the Cat's Ear Cave and fall into the trap of a shop assistant. In any case, the whole town was filled with cultivators, so it was quite good to be a shop assistant here.

Since he had become a cultivator, Rat wasn't willing to stop here. He also wanted to sense his body and become a Shape Changing Stage expert.

However, the salary of the shop assistant was obviously not enough for him to buy a way out of his aperture, so he had been thinking of other ways to earn money.

As the saying goes, success does not fail those who pay. He really had to find one.

Rat discovered that every night, the town's restaurants were packed with people. All of them were cultivators, and everyone gathered together to brag and drink. They said everything, and there was nothing taboo about it.

Others only saw the bustle and chaos, but Rat found business opportunities inside.

The cultivators mostly talked about what they saw and heard in the cat-eared cave. When they talked about it, they would bring out what kind of road they had walked on, how many forks they had encountered, and what they had encountered in the forks.

The content was very fragmented, and the place the two talked about often had some discrepancies. However, Rat, with his amazing memory and analyzing ability, pieced together these fragmented pieces of information. He drew a topographic map of the first three levels of the cat-eared cave!

And his plan was to sell these topographic maps in exchange for enough money, so that he could buy a method to leave his body, and thus be able to continue on the path of cultivation.

Logically speaking, having a treasure was a crime. A mouse, a child, actually had such a good thing. Everyone had to think of robbing. But because this kid often appeared in restaurants, he especially liked to join in the fun. In addition, his sweet tongue allowed him to mingle with quite a few cultivators.

The more familiar people were with themselves, the less vigilant they became. In addition, Rat was just a child. Therefore, no one had any doubts about him. After he sold a few maps, no one discovered that such a child was doing such a business.

As for the few people who bought the mouse map, they had just entered the cat ear hole and had not come out yet. If they came out, they would definitely think of ways to get rid of the mouse and steal the business.

The mouse had been in town for two years and had long been aware of this. So he wanted to sell a few more copies of the map as soon as possible before those people came out. Once he had enough money to buy the aperture exit technique, he would directly return to Tianyun Racecourse City. Then, he would hand this map over to the horse farm and let it go.

Ye Bufan did not know of Mouse's background and plans, but he had a little interest in this kid.

Although the kid's words just now might have been specially prepared, he still chose to believe it.

Whether the map was correct or not, there was no way to determine. Judging from Haozi's cautious manner, the business of selling the map wasn't done by any major power.

It was even possible that the child was doing it alone.

If this child was really the only one doing it, Ye Bufan could tell the danger with just a glance.

Not to mention others, just Ye Bufan himself. If he went into the cat's ear hole and confirmed that the map in Rat's hands was real, he would definitely have the intention of taking the map for himself.

He would even learn from Rat and sell the map as a business.

Whether it was keeping the map for himself or taking over this business, the existence of Rat would inevitably become an obstacle. Killing this child was also an option that could be considered.

It was precisely because of this possibility that Ye Bufan felt that Rat's words made sense. This transaction was originally to gamble on one's character. Purchasing before confirming the authenticity of the map was to gamble on that fifty percent chance.

If it was real, then he would earn it, and if it was fake, then he would earn it. He would admit that he was unlucky. If the map was confirmed to be real, then the map might be completely exposed under pressure from all sides. If everyone had a map, it meant that there was no map. If they had the advantage, it would be gone.

If they had a 50% chance of getting the advantage first, it wouldn't be worth it to try. It seemed like they didn't need to think about it for too long.2

When Rat reappeared next to Ye Bufan, before the child could speak, Ye Bufan asked him, "How much is it? Name a price."

Haozi did not expect Ye Bufan to be so cautious. He was really decisive when making a decision. He immediately became happy. He liked dealing with such cultivators. Because this would allow him to sell more copies of the map before the first person who bought his map came out. The more copies he sold, the more he would sell. Since he was close to the method to exit his body, Mouse naturally hoped that Ye Bufan would have as many customers as possible.

"Twenty taels of gold." Mouse said a price.

Ye Bufan frowned. The price was much higher than he had expected.
