Chapter 179: Planet Agri

Planet Agri has many other names, such as the Ugly Planet, the Chaotic Planet, the Garbage Planet, or the Exile World…
It is the most lawless planet in the entire Flowing Cloud Star Region, as well as the one with the highest number of criminals roaming about.
Most of these criminals were not exiled here but chose to hide here after committing crimes.
It is said that millions of years ago, Planet Agri was a peaceful world inhabited by pure and noble natives.
Until one day, a boy named Pairet was born. At the age of 20, he became a great bandit, plundering an entire city; at 21, he conquered a nation; and at 23, he took control of the entire planet. The native inhabitants gradually left.
So, he gathered a group of followers and began his interstellar plundering spree. Over tens of thousands of years, he plundered millions of planets and amassed countless riches. His footprint spanned the entire cultivation realm, covering almost every star region. His actions angered the heavens, and he was captured by a master in charge of heavenly punishment and executed in front of everyone.
Before dying, he told everyone that all his treasures were buried on one of the planets he had visited.
The moment Pairet said this, many seekers focused their attention on his birthplace—Planet Agri. Thus, Planet Agri turned into a hub for crime overnight.
Although no one has found Pairet’s treasures in millions of years, the number of criminals on Planet Agri has not decreased at all; instead, it keeps rising. Perhaps the saying “birds of a feather flock together” perfectly explains why this is the case.
When Ye Feng and Pei Hong appeared on this planet in fine clothes, they immediately attracted the attention of many people around the teleportation array.
However, what happened next made those who initially saw them as insignificant figures give up targeting them.
A boy who seemed to be about 15 or 16 years old staggered toward Ye Feng and Pei Hong after they stepped out of the teleportation array and paid the protection fee. Just as he was about to pass by, Ye Feng grabbed his wrist. With a snap, the ring in his hand fell, and Ye Feng caught it before handing it to Pei Hong.
The boy cried out in pain, holding his wrist.
“Sorry, it seems you’ve chosen the wrong targets today!” Ye Feng said with a smile, spreading his hands.

The boy looked at the pair of black gloves on his hands in surprise—they seemed utterly unremarkable, yet he could hardly imagine how fast the hands hidden beneath them must be. The people around him also stared in astonishment at the young man who had made Pierfa fail. After all, although Pierfa appeared young, he was already at the peak of the Outward Journey stage in cultivation. His skills in theft were among the best in the entire Agri planet; it was said he hadn’t failed in over 500 years. His victims even included some powerful cultivators at the Fusion stage and beyond. Though sometimes, under pressure, he would return the stolen items, no one had ever caught him in the act in 500 years.

Pierfa’s face turned red and then pale. He had to admit that he had indeed failed this time, and that too in front of so many people. He was still shocked—his actions had not only been seen by the other party but the other party had also reacted promptly. He knew he had been careless earlier, as he had completely underestimated those two at the Nascent Soul stage. Initially, he had acted just to tease them, not expecting them to have anything valuable. But he was also well aware that the main reason for his failure wasn’t carelessness. Even if he had treated them as powerful Fusion-stage cultivators, he might not have succeeded in stealing that ring.

The people around them, however, held a different view, secretly despising Ye Feng. “How could someone at the Nascent Soul stage break a person at the Outward Journey stage’s wrist with just one move? Another fake who pretends to be at the Nascent Soul stage, just to take out some fools who stumble into his path and vent his anger before leaving this planet. I’d never bother with such a idle noble brat.”

Pei Hong took the ring handed to him by Ye Feng, his face full of frustration. “Why come to such a place instead of somewhere else? Less than a minute after stepping out of the teleportation array, thieves already come openly to steal things in broad daylight. It’s completely chaotic here…”

“Chaos is perfect for taking advantage of the situation!” Ye Feng said with a shake of his head and a smile. “For some people, this place might be hell, but for others, it’s heaven.”

“Weren’t we just here for a trip?” Pei Hong felt uneasy hearing Ye Feng say that.

“No, I plan to make a fortune here and establish my own base!” Ye Feng said with a smile, shaking his head at Pei Hong. “You don’t have to worry about not being able to make progress—this is a third-class planet, and the concentration of spiritual energy here is already enough to help you advance to the next level. Not to mention, we have mid-grade spiritual crystals; just one can help you progress from the peak of the Yuan Ying stage to the Chu Qiao stage, even adding two thousand years to your lifespan!”
“You want me to make progress on this planet?” Pei Hong stared at Ye Feng with wide eyes.
Ye Feng acted as if it were obvious. “I’ll find a quiet place for you to meditate, while I’ll do some small business during that time. By the time you finish your meditation, I should have saved up some money. Then we can open our own auction hall…”
“Why choose this place?” Pei Hong looked reluctant, clearly still troubled by the theft of his ring earlier.
“The environment here is an opportunity for me. There are tens of thousands of gangs on this planet, large and small, with constant fights every day. No matter what we do, it won’t draw anyone’s attention,” Ye Feng said with a smile. “What I need is exactly such an environment where no one pays attention—where I can do whatever I want in peace. No one will disturb me, and no one will come looking for trouble! Most importantly, I can sell some rare items here without anyone asking where they came from!”
Pei Hong looked at Ye Feng in confusion. “What do you want to sell?”
“Some precious herbs and metals… things that can fetch exorbitant prices.” Ye Feng was very clear about his purpose for coming here!
