True Immortal of the Netherworld

Three days later, Xu Yang decided to go to the mountain temple to "fulfill his wish."

Mai Xiaoqi excitedly prepared to go with Xu Yang, but was stopped by Xu Yang.

"Brother Xu Yang, why can't you take Xiao Qi with you this time? Xiao Qi wants to see how the mountain god in the mountain temple appears." Mai Xiao Qi said seriously.

"The mountain temple is a place of mystery. If the mountain god is really effective, the temple will not be dilapidated and there will be no incense. The real underground auction, if I am right, should be here In Fangshi," Xu Yang explained.

Mai Xiaoqi blinked his big eyes, as if listening to a strange story, "That's right. Well, Xiaoqi will be waiting for you to come back in Fangshi. Don't leave Xiaoqi alone. Xiao Qi will go to the underground auction with you to avoid encountering many bad guys who will bully you. Once the seal on you is lifted, Xiao Qi will feel free to return to the Luming Grassland in the Southern Territory. "

Xu Yang couldn't help but be moved when he saw Mai Xiaoqi taking him so seriously. The two met unexpectedly, but they seemed to have been friends for many years.

Pushed by the rising sun, Xu Yang came all the way to the mountain temple forty miles southwest of Fang City.

The mud-colored mountain god in the mountain temple is still sitting firmly in the center of the temple. There is no direct sunlight in the depths of the temple, so it is a bit dark, but the mountain god is quite cool.

On the two shoulders of the tall mountain statue, the dust formed over time looks like two small hills. A spider web hangs around the neck of the statue. The mesh is as neat as a Bagua array. It is the only new thing here. A black spider is hiding quietly in the corner of the spider web, waiting for food to fly into the web.

Xu Yang stood in front of the mountain god statue and looked around, but the table, paper and pen he saw when he came three days ago were nowhere to be seen.

There were no footprints on the ground, so it seemed like someone was deliberately covering up the traces.

Xu Yang quietly let go of his spiritual consciousness, but he couldn't detect a trace of spiritual power fluctuations within a hundred feet.

"The guys who were pretending to be evil behind the scenes have all run away, leaving a body of clay empty." Xu Yang thought to himself.

Xu Yang didn't even take another look at the Nicaishan statue, let alone return his wish.

In the world of cultivation, many wishes must be made with one's own fists instead of praying to gods.

Xu Yang's eyes stopped on the wishing incense burner beside him.

The wishing incense burner is carved from a large piece of bluestone, with the words "responsibility to all requests" engraved on the surface.

There were originally a pair of symmetrical "ears" on both sides of the incense burner, but now the left side is missing, leaving only one on the right. The mountain god stares at it every day, but he smiles and is not angry.

Xu Yang walked to the wishing incense burner and looked down. There were three words "Mian Cui Pavilion" written on the ashes inside the incense burner.

"So the clue is here." Xu Yang nodded and remembered these three words in his heart.

Before leaving, Xu Yang waved one hand, and a strong wind blew out. The wishing incense burner was like a top that was whipped by a whip. It landed on one foot and kept spinning, and the ashes inside it were flying like a tornado. And out.

When Xu Yang walked out of the mountain temple, a roll of fly ash behind him exploded and fell everywhere.

The spider web on the shoulder of the Nicai Mountain God Statue was dyed dark by fly ash, and the surface of the web trembled. The spider hidden in the dark place was so frightened that it jumped back, and with a snap, it happened to fall on the wishing incense burner that had not yet stopped. middle.

The incense burner kept turning, and the little bug inside was spinning around. I don't know if it can climb up again.

...

Within the city

.

A shop along the street has the words "Mian Cui Pavilion" written on the horizontal plaque at the front door.

In front of the shop, a temporary sign was hung, which read, "Private customization, starting price is 100 high-grade spiritual stones."

This sign seems to say that the poor are not allowed to enter, and there is not a single customer in the store.

The fat shopkeeper stood in front of the counter, still wearing a gold satin coat, fiddling with the emerald green ring on his right thumb from time to time.

"The business that is rushing here is not business. If you don't open in three months, you will be open for a year." The fat shopkeeper was thinking about his business experience, but his eyes were always staring at the door, as if waiting for someone to come.

The two original clerks at the counter may have been put on leave and are not in the store at this time.

At this moment, two people walked in at the door of the store, walking on a blanket made of golden sunlight.

A young man in green clothes and a big-eyed man wearing a deerskin hat.

The fat shopkeeper's eyes lit up and fell on Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi. His eyes were squinting, and the corners of his mouth were curved in an amiable way, as if he was seeing a relative, he greeted her.

"Jin Yang brings wealth and honor. Welcome you two distinguished guests to our store. Please come inside." While shouting, the fat shopkeeper welcomed Xu Yang and the two inside.

"Is the inner elixir of the Neptune Spirit Beast available for sale here?" Xu Yang asked directly when he saw that there was no one else in the shop.

The fat shopkeeper suppressed his smile and whispered seriously: "Things like the Neptune Spirit Beast's inner elixir are prohibited from being bought and sold in the Free City. So far, this city has not been officially taken over by the Merchant Alliance. According to the major laws and regulations on Zhongyuan Continent, According to the rules set by the forces, the sale and purchase of such rare items will be taxed, and the transaction quantity will be limited. Firstly, it can increase the income of the cultivation country or the cultivation sect as the landlord. Secondly, the rare items need to be protected. A swarm of swarms will make these rare treasures extinct. "

After a pause, the fat shopkeeper smiled strangely, and then said: "A wise man doesn't tell secrets. Since the young master is here today, he must be sincere. If the young master wants it, and you can trust me, you can pay a hundred high-grade spiritual stones as a reward in advance." Deposit. Three days later, I will inform the young master of the time and place of the official transaction. At that time, the young master will make up for the remaining nine hundred high-grade spiritual stones from the transaction price, which is a total of one thousand high-grade spiritual stones. Lingshi, delivered in one hand.”

"One thousand high-grade spiritual stones, the price is quite reasonable." Xu Yang nodded.

After saying that, Xu Yang took out a storage bag and handed it to the fat shopkeeper.

"One hundred high-grade spiritual stones, please count them, the shopkeeper. I will stay temporarily at the "Xiankelai" Inn in Fangshi. I will wait for your news." Xu Yang said bluntly.

The fat shopkeeper took the storage bag, narrowed his eyes, and weighed it with his hands, "Young master is so generous, just a little more, a little more."

After saying that, he opened the storage bag and looked inside carefully.

"Farewell." Xu Yang pulled Mai Xiaoqi out of Miancui Pavilion without saying any more words.

The voice of the fat boss came from behind: "Two distinguished guests, please go slowly. I wish you good luck and may all your wishes come true."

On the way back, Mai Xiaoqi was puzzled and asked: "Brother Xu Yang is so generous, aren't you afraid that the fat boss cheated you of the one hundred high-grade spiritual stones?"

Xu Yang explained: "A thousand high-grade spiritual stones to buy a Neptune Spirit Beast inner elixir is only 30% of the normal market price, which is in line with the cheap prices on the black market. If you buy rare cultivation resources in a normal business alliance, you must first Registered status, secondly rarely sold directly to individuals.

In my current situation, choosing to trust the fat boss is also an attempt. Besides, there is still the Mian Cui Pavilion, which can outrun the mountain god but not the mountain temple. "

Mai Xiaoqi nodded, "So that's it."

Xu Yang had already made a plan in his heart. The business alliances in Zhongyuan Continent all have large sects and cultivators as shareholders. Anyone who is wanted by a large sect is prohibited from purchasing valuable items in the merchant alliance.

A few days ago, Xu Yang escaped from Yudaomen with the help of Ning Tianqi. Ning Tianqi informed Xu Yang that various sects in the northern region have now listed Xu Yang as the most wanted person. Xu Yang has been listed as an important figure in the shadow organization on the most wanted list in the Northern Territory.

According to the agreement between the major business alliances and the major sects in the Northern Territory, the wanted objects will be updated every month. Now, Xu Yang doesn't know whether he has been included in the blacklist of the Merchant Alliance prohibiting the sale of valuables. Originally, he wanted to try his luck and go directly to the Yuantong Merchant Alliance to buy the inner elixir of the Neptune Spirit Beast as a guest appraiser of the Yuantong Merchant Alliance. But now that it can be easily purchased on the black market, it is a shortcut.

...

Afterwards, Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi left Miancui Pavilion gracefully.

There was only one fat shopkeeper left in the huge shop.

The fat shopkeeper had a complicated expression. He hung a sign outside the door saying that the store was temporarily closed due to inventory, and locked the door of the store.

I don't know whether it's because the weather outside is a little hot, or because the fat shopkeeper is not used to the sunshine outside. When he finished all this, there were drops of sweat on his forehead.

The fat shopkeeper walked around the shop twice by himself, picked up a teapot on the table and took a big sip directly.

Herbal tea, but thirst quenching.

"Cool down." The fat shopkeeper put down the teapot and went straight to the backyard of the shop.

The fat shopkeeper did not go to the warehouse in the backyard, but came to a large stone jar in the backyard.

It takes four people to carry the stone jar. It is filled with water and is usually used to prevent fires. The fat shopkeeper's serious expression was reflected on the water surface of the stone vat.

The fat shopkeeper took out his fat, round palm from his sleeve, gently placed one palm on the edge of the stone jar, and pushed and turned it deftly.

Creak, creak.

The huge stone jar turns left once and right twice.

Miraculously, a large stone slab next to the stone jar moved a few feet, and a hidden step appeared beneath it.

The steps are deep, like the throat of a giant beast with its mouth open.

The fat shopkeeper walked down the stairs without hesitation.

There are a number of spiritual light stones inlaid on the walls of the secret passage. Although they are not as bright as the spiritual light oil lamps, they can still clearly illuminate the steps in the secret passage.

At this moment, the fat shopkeeper was as light as a swallow, and he completely lost the clumsiness of his fat body. Every time he stepped on it, he stepped firmly without any unnecessary shaking in his body.

His cultivation level is not low.

The fat shopkeeper came to a large, closed iron door and tapped the door knocker rhythmically with his fingers.

Ta-ta-ta, tap-ta-ta.

The rhythmic knocking sound echoed clearly in the underground palace.

Creaking, the big iron door was opened from the inside.

Before the door was fully opened, the fat shopkeeper rubbed his round belly and entered in a flash.

"Second child, fourth child, our business is here." After entering the secret room behind the iron door, the fat shopkeeper called softly.

The big iron door banged shut tightly.
