Fang Qingyuan was horrified by the sudden surge of greed that washed over him. Having cultivated Mind Divine Techniques and experienced the great tide of emotions in the Nine-star Marketplace, he was all the more vigilant against such feelings arising within himself.
This was the second time this had happened. He remembered feeling it once before, back in the Nanchu Sect's Earth Fire Palace when he and Lechuan had sought out Chu Hongshang to trade for the Immortal Phoenix Feather.
But the feeling hadn't been nearly as profound then as it was now. 'What's happening to me?'
'Could it be that after reaching the Golden Core realm, I can no longer suppress my true nature?'
Fang Qingyuan discreetly glanced around. Everyone else seemed perfectly normal. Lechuan was chatting cheerfully with Gu Hong, and the other two Golden Core Cultivators also appeared quite placid.
