True Immortal of the Netherworld

The golden sun rises in the east, shining brightly throughout the day.

Without further ado, Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi headed to the southeast of Fang City side by side.

Mai Xiaoqi is half a head shorter than Xu Yang and looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. But he wore a loose gray coarse cloth clothes and walked like a cute rag doll.

"Your clothes are a bit big. Do you want me to give you something that fits you?" Xu Yang asked.

"It's okay. I quite like this dress. It gives me more freedom." Mai Xiaoqi stretched out her hand, folded the cuffs, and revealed a small fist, "It doesn't hinder fighting with others."

"It looks like a very powerful fist." Xu Yang joked.

"Brother Xu Yang, you just said that the underground auction house is a place of fierce competition. Is it really in a secret room underground?"

"Some underground auctions are really set up in underground secret rooms, just like rats, they can't see the light. But having said that, things in underground auctions are usually open to disputes, because those people don't follow too many rules. And ordinary In the market, there are often secret fights, because on the surface there are many rules. This is how the world of cultivation is." Xu Yang explained.

"Oh, Xiao Qi doesn't like drilling holes or anything like that. I like the sun the most, just like now."

As he spoke, Mai Xiaoqi closed his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes were like hazy bead curtains, reflecting the golden dream. He stretched out his nose and inhaled gently.

"It's the smell of sunshine, warm." Mai Xiaoqi opened her big eyes, and her whole body was like a sunflower that absorbed the energy of the sun and bloomed.

Xu Yang followed Mai Xiaoqi's example and stuck out his nose to sniff, then deliberately moved closer to Mai Xiaoqi, "Oh, why do I smell the smell of a deer?"

Mai Xiaoqi covered the deerskin hat on his head with his hand, "Hehe, Xiaoqi is a grass deer from Luming Grassland."

"hey-hey."

"Ha ha."

The two of them had fun together.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the southeast corner of Fang City.

It is said to be a corner of Fangshi, but in fact it has already left Fangshi.

In front of them was a mysterious forest, but there was an obvious forest path leading deep into it.

In front of the forest, the two stood still.

"It's in the woodland opposite. About seven days ago, I was looking for suitable Burmese emeralds in the market, but the prices of the Burmese emeralds I was interested in were too high. During the period, I met a big black man. He pointed me out and said, You can buy and sell things here that you can't buy in the market, and the prices are much cheaper. When I found the edge of the forest, I was told that there was no auction of Burmese Cuisine for the time being, and if I wanted to go in to see it, I would have to pay ten yuan for high-grade spirits. I didn’t go in because of the deposit of 1 stone.”

After a pause, Mai Xiaoqi looked back and forth, "Something is different. Last time I came here, there were some fierce men guarding the edge of the forest."

"Maybe they knew I was coming and were scared away. My nickname is the Invincible Demon King." Xu Yang pretended to be serious.

"Brother Xu Yang, are you that scary? I don't think you are a big devil. How could there be such a handsome big devil." Mai Xiaoqi looked at Xu Yang and said.

"Hehe, you're right. Then let's go inside and try our luck." Xu Yang straightened his back, "Xu Xiaoxian is here."

Mai Xiaoqi followed Xu Yang's example and straightened her back, "Mai Xiaoxian is here."

The two of them followed a winding path and entered the forest.

After walking about half a mile, a wooden house with a small area appeared in front of them.

In front of the door of the house, there is a large black stone, the surface of which is covered with marks from swords. Under the traces, two words "black market" can be vaguely discerned.

When Xu Yang saw the two words written on the stone, he couldn't help but smile, crossed his arms and said, "It's really brave to be able to make the black market so open and honest."

Mai Xiaoqi ran to the door in two steps, "Brother Xu Yang, look, this place is sealed."

Xu Yang walked over and took a look. The seal

There were two lines of words written on it, reading: "People who kill people on the black market are sealed by the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance."

Xu Yang looked back and forth carefully and found no trace of blood around him. He thought about it and then said: "Although this market has not been officially taken over by the Merchant Alliance, after all, the forces of the Merchant Alliance have penetrated into it. This blatant black market is naturally very It’s hard to survive.”

"So, there is no more underground auction?" Mai Xiaoqi said a little disappointed.

"Let's go back. Since there is no underground auction, we will think of other ways. Yuanchang Merchant Alliance, I know it. It is a famous merchant alliance on the Zhongyuan Continent and ranks among the three major merchant alliances. Neptune Spirit Although the beast inner elixir is rare, it may be easy for the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance to obtain it. Now that the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance is here, we will find a way to buy it from the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance. " Xu Yang explained.

"There are also large merchant alliances in the Southern Territory, but if you want to buy things directly from the merchant alliance, you can't do it. The merchant alliance only does business with top cultivation families or large tribes. And the merchant alliance in Fang City is directly under the There are very few storefronts, and most of them are franchised merchants. These franchised merchants supply goods to merchants and then sell them to those who need them,” Mai Xiaoqi said.

"I have a solution."

As he spoke, Xu Yang turned over one hand, and a white token appeared in his palm.

This token is made of white jade, rectangular in size, moist and white all over. The two characters "Yuan Chang" are engraved on the front, and the four characters "Business Prosperity" and a row of strange symbols indicating identity are engraved on the back. A faint spiritual vibration emanated from the jade tablet.

This jade tablet was the identity authentication obtained by Xu Yang after he happened to be recognized as a guest appraiser by the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance when he was selling pill pills he refined in Pingyun Gufang Market near Tiangui Sect.

A large business alliance like Yuanchang Business Alliance, in order to control the quality of goods and prevent other merchants from selling counterfeit goods at high prices under the banner of the business alliance, will authorize many guest appraisers to help Yuanchang Business Alliance anytime and anywhere. Monitor the market.

Guest appraisers are usually not paid, but they will enjoy certain discounts when purchasing items from Yuanchang Merchant Alliance. In this way, the business alliance saved a lot of manpower and expanded its supervision of the market. It takes a lot of effort for a large business alliance to achieve high quality and be recognized by buyers and merchants.

"What brand is this?" Mai Xiaoqi asked.

"It's a brand exclusive to Yuanchang Merchant Alliance's guest appraisers. With this brand, I can contact Yuanchang Merchant Alliance to help me buy some things, and there will also be a small discount. You can bring it to me With good luck, maybe Yuanchang Merchant Alliance will sell me a "Sea King Spiritual Beast Inner Pill".

"Is Xiaoqi the mascot of little brother Xu Yang?" Mai Xiaoqi shook his head and made a face.

"Let's go find Yuanchang Merchant Alliance in Fangshi."

...

The two returned the same way and came out of the forest.

At this moment, an old man in gray robe with white beard and hair came out of nowhere and walked towards Xu Yang and the other two.

"Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing." The old man in gray robe said with a smile, while shaking a broken cattail leaf fan in his hand, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, do you two want to find a cool place to rest? ”

Mai Xiaoqi looked surprised and fanned his face with his hand, "No, it's not hot at all. There's still wind."

The weather may be a little hot, but when you are with the person you like, you don't feel hot anymore.

The old man in gray robe fanned himself with the cattail leaf fan in his hand, "The wind is also hot."

Mai Xiaoqi answered seriously: "It's a little bit hot."

Xu Yang heard something in the gray-robed old man's words and whispered: "Please give me some advice."

With that said, Xu Yang respectfully handed over a high-grade spiritual stone.

The gray-robed old man's eyes lit up, and he took Xu Yang's high-grade spiritual stone with the broken cattail leaf fan in his hand. Then he put it in his mouth and bit it gently. The spirit stone was very hard and made the old man's teeth squeak.

"Ouch. It's hard enough. It's true." As he spoke, the gray-robed old man put the high-grade spiritual stone into his arms. "There is no business alliance in this city that has officially taken over. Even

Some of the spiritual stones are fake. However, judging from the noble temperament of the young master, he will definitely not deceive an old man like me with fake spiritual stones. "

The old man in gray robe spoke confidently, as if Xu Yang owed him a spiritual stone.

"Fair trade." Xu Yang said calmly.

The old man in gray robe pointed to the southwest with the broken cattail leaf fan in his hand, and whispered: "Forty miles away, there is a place to enjoy the shade."

"Thanks for the advice." Xu Yang said, cupping his fists.

Mai Xiaoqi on the side blinked her big eyes, wondering what Xu Yang and the old man in gray robe were talking about, and Xu Yang also gave the old man in gray robe a big spiritual stone.

"Sir, you are generous." The old man in gray robe responded with his fists clasped.

After that, Xu Yang pulled Mai Xiaoqi toward the southwest.

The old man in gray robe looked at the disappearing figures of Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.

"Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills." The old man in gray robe whispered to himself and turned to leave.

When he walked to a place where no one was around, the old man in gray robe wiped his face with his hand, but his face changed. It was a face with a pair of small eyes like soybeans.

Without him, it is none other than Zhang San, the Thousand-Faced Ghost, who is also a high-ranking right-hand shadow envoy in the shadow organization.

Thousand-faced Ghost Zhang San murmured: "Xu Yang, you can't escape from the circle that Master Shadow has drawn for you."

...

Forty miles southwest of Fang City.

There is a dilapidated mountain temple under an unnamed mountain that is not that tall.

There is a colorful clay mountain god statue enshrined in the mountain temple. The mountain god statue is two feet tall, with mottled clay colors on its body, and it looks a bit old.

Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi came to the mountain temple.

"Isn't this a mountain temple? Look, the person sitting high up on it is the mountain god." Mai Xiaoqi looked doubtful and then became angry, "We won't be deceived by the old man in gray robe. Go back and find him After all, a high-grade spiritual stone is not a small sum."

Xu Yang did not speak, but walked to the mountain god statue and took a closer look.

There is an old table placed in front of the mountain god statue. There is a pen and a stack of yellow paper on the table.

Xu Yang picked up the pen, lightly licked the tip of the pen on the tip of his tongue, and then wrote a few words on the yellow paper "Sea King Spiritual Beast Inner Pill".

After that, Xu Yang picked up the yellow paper with written words and threw it into the "wishing incense burner" on the other side.

"Master Mountain God, do you think my wish can come true?" Xu Yang clasped his hands together and said respectfully.

quiet!

very quiet!

The only sound in the huge mountain temple was the pounding heartbeats of Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi.

Mai Xiaoqi stood there, looking back and forth at every corner of the mountain temple with a pair of big eyes, muttering in his heart: "Will the mountain god jump out?"

Poof.

The yellow paper that Xu Yang had just thrown into the wishing incense burner suddenly ignited, but the flame was a strange blood red. Among the blood-red flames, a word "three" flashed out.

After a while, the red flames and the writing on them disappeared, and the yellow paper of the wish turned into ashes.

Xu Yang smiled slightly, turned around and said, "Xiao Qi, let's go back first. We'll come back in three days to fulfill our wish."

"Is it really so effective?" Mai Xiaoqi looked surprised at first, and then followed Xu Yang's example, standing in front of the mountain god statue with a pious expression, clasping his hands, "Master Mountain God, please show your spirit."

Afterwards, Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi left the mountain temple.

At this time, a pair of pupils of the mountain god statue shone strangely.

After leaving the mountain temple, Xu Yang and Mai Xiaoqi returned the same way.

Along the way, Xu Yang was thoughtful. Mai Xiaoqi was considerate and did not take the initiative to disturb Xu Yang.

When we arrived at the market, there were a lot of people, and the sounds of sellers and cars and horses were mixed together.

Xu Yang looked at Mai Xiaoqi, made a smile, and then said: "The people who followed us are gone. Now we can talk."

Mai Xiaoqi took a long breath and suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
