Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 204
All stallholders in the black market wear uniform clothing. Generally speaking, the spiritual consciousness of monks cannot penetrate, which can also protect the privacy of stall owners to a certain extent.

Of course, nothing is absolute. In the eyes of some particularly high-level practitioners, such as those Nascent Soul monks, these disguises are all superfluous and meaningless.

But Yuanying monks only appear occasionally on the black market, and as a powerful monk, he has the demeanor of a powerful monk, so it doesn't matter even if he knows what the stall owner looks like.

They are all foundation-building monks. It is impossible to see through the disguise of these stall owners directly. Ye Wangshu thought that Luo Qingli was planning to follow this stall owner, or to find a way to take off his mask and see his true face clearly. .

She shook her head and said: "After the black market ends, these stall owners will be randomly teleported to various parts of the city through the underground teleportation array. We can't be sure where they will be teleported. There is a huge crowd and it is impossible to find them. Moreover, if there is trouble in the black market, We will be directly restrained by these law enforcement officers who come and go, and will be blacklisted in Shouyue City from now on, and we will no longer be able to enter the city."

"I neither stalk nor cause trouble." Luo Qingli smiled slightly, "Wait for me here for a while."

Luo Qingli walked to a remote corner, just enough to see the stall selling cartilage powder.

She closed her eyes and softly recited a series of mantras in her mind. When she opened her eyes again, her right eye turned into a deep blue color.

The delusion-breaking eye is originally used to break through illusions, but it also has a penetrating effect to a certain extent.

This process consumes mental power, and after the middle stage of advanced foundation building, Luo Qingli's spiritual consciousness became stronger than before, and the power of the Delusion Eye also increased a lot.

The stall owner's mask was now useless in her right eye. The face under the mask came into view. Luo Qingli glanced at it, remembered the person's appearance, and quickly looked away before the person noticed. .

In the eyes of Ye Wangshu and Yan Shitian, Luo Qingli walked to a corner, stayed for a while, and then came back again.

Neither of them could understand what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd. Luo Qingli made a gesture and said, "We're done shopping in the black market. Let's go out."

Ye Wangshu opened his mouth. Even though he was full of doubts, he didn't say much out of trust in her. He nodded and followed Yan Shitian to leave the black market.

There was an endless stream of monks coming and going outside the teahouse, some entering the black market and some coming out of the black market.

The three of them returned the special clothes, while Luo Qingli and Ye Wangshu thanked Yan Shitian in front of the teahouse: "Today, Taoist Taoist Lao Yan accompanied me as our guide."

Yan Shitian smiled gracefully, "This is Yan's honor."

He paused, thought for a moment and then said: "Although Yan is a casual cultivator and has a home all over the world, he is quite familiar with Shouyue City and has some connections of his own in the city. If the two Taoist friends have any trouble, You can go to the drug store to find Yan, Yan will be there this month."

Although he didn't know what the two men's previous actions in the black market meant, Yan Shitian would not be stingy if he needed help.

It wasn't because he wanted to ask Luo Qingli to accompany him to the Chongyuan Secret Realm or to please them deliberately. Even if Luo Qingli chose to reject him, he would still do the same.

He considered it a blessing to know and befriend two famous disciples of Nanzhao, who were also two outstanding alchemists.

It never hurts to have more friends.

Luo Qingli thanked him with a smile: "Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Yan."

The three of them said goodbye in front of the teahouse. Yan Shitian returned to his medicinal shop, while Luo Qingli and Ye Wangshu returned to the inn.

Ye Wangshu held it in for a while, and as soon as he arrived in the room, he asked anxiously: "Qingli, what's going on? Do you know what the stall owner looks like?"

Luo Qingli nodded, "I have a secret skill that can see through some disguises. The mask worn by the stall owner is of no use to me."

Ye Wangshu looked happy, and then Luo Qingli's fingertips gently touched her eyebrows. The image of the stall owner selling cartilage powder suddenly appeared in Ye Wangshu's mind.

"This is the appearance of the stall owner. His cultivation level is also in the middle stage of foundation building. When the black market ends in two days, we can find a way to look for this person in the city... But you have to be prepared, because the cartilage is loose. It’s not a unique secret recipe, and it’s not necessarily sold only on the black market in Shouyue City. He may not have anything to do with the Honghua Gang, and he may just be a pure businessman.”

Of course Ye Wangshu understood this truth. She knew early on that with her ability, the hope of catching the Honghua Gang out was slim, but she had already come this far and it was better not to give up halfway.

Ye Wangshu blinked, "Shouyue City is also a large fairy city. There are nearly ten thousand monks in the city. There are even two city gates. Even if that person is a permanent resident of the city, it would be difficult for the two of us to find him. Isn’t it easy?”

"what do you mean……"

Ye Wangshu smiled with crooked eyes, "Whether that fellow Taoist Yan is really enthusiastic or fake, since he has offered to help, let's not be too polite! And although everyone says that this fellow Taoist Yan Shitian is a brilliant person, but For us, these are just hearsay. We don’t have much contact with him. What his character is, we have to know after contact. This can also help you decide whether to go to Chongyuan Secret Realm with him. It’s a reference, isn’t it?”

Luo Qingli shook his head and laughed. He thought about it and nodded gently, "That's right. Yan Shitian can be regarded as a local snake in Shouyue City. It is much easier and more convenient for him to do things than us."

She had brief contact with Yan Shitian twice, and the impression he gave her was actually pretty good. At least he acted calmly, advanced and retreated appropriately, and was very measured about what he should say and what shouldn't be said, so he wouldn't make people feel uncomfortable.

As Ye Wangshu said, she still needs to reconsider whether to agree to Yan Shitian's invitation. In fact, Luo Qingli is still a little interested in Chongyuan Secret Realm. If Yan Shitian is really reliable, it is not a big deal to go together. question.

The next day, Luo Qingli and the two met Yan Shitian. He still prepared a table of wine and food for them in the private room of the medicinal shop.

This time Ye Wangshu couldn't help but wonder: "Fellow Daoist Yan, why did you expect that we were coming, so did you prepare drinks in advance?"

Yan Shitian smiled calmly and said, "It would be great if Yan had the ability to predict the future. It's just a matter of being prepared."

Ye Wangshu couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Hearing what he meant, it was because he was not sure of their whereabouts, so he prepared fine wine and delicacies here early in case of emergencies.

She didn't know if other people in Zhongyuan were like this, but if they really just wanted to make friends, Yan Shitian could be considered very sincere.

The two of them came to Yan Shitian today to ask for his help. Ye Wangshu didn't like to engage in such scenes, so he went straight to the point and said, "Fellow Taoist Yan, to be honest, we came to visit today to ask for something."

"Two fellow Taoists, please tell me. If Yan can help, I will do my best." Yan Shitian's face remained the same, and he listened attentively.

Luo Qingli said: "To put it simply, I want to ask fellow Taoist Yan to help find someone in the city."

She raised her hand and waved lightly, and the image of the stall owner suddenly appeared in the sky.Yan Shitian looked at it seriously for a few times, frowned slightly and asked, "Is it the stall owner who sold cartilage powder yesterday?"

The two of them were very unusual in front of the stall yesterday. It was not surprising that Yan Shitian could guess who it was, and Luo Qingli admitted it openly.

Yan Shitian pondered for a moment and said: "Although the items this person sells on the black market are disgraceful, they are still allowed in Shouyue City. It is certainly not a problem to help the two Taoist friends find someone, but Yan still wants to ask more. Are you looking for this person because of personal vendetta or something else?"

Luo Qingli shook his head and smiled: "Fellow Daoist Yan, the two of us don't have as much sense of justice as you think. We came to the black market to punish evil and promote good. Besides, each place has its own rules. On the territory of Shouyue City , we will abide by it, the reason why we are looking for this person is just to ask him about something."

Yan Shitian basically understood, "In this case, Yan will arrange for someone to inquire about the news and ask two fellow Taoists to wait for the good news."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yan."

……

Yan Shitian's actions were very fast, and the results were achieved in less than a day. The foundation-building monk who sold Cartilage Powder was named Tian. He was a casual cultivator and lived in the Lingqi Cave on the outskirts of the city. He had been in Shouyue City for several years, my friend. Not much. My favorite thing on weekdays is to go to the wine shop to drink. I am quite familiar with the waiters and bosses of the wine shop, and those people call him Lao Tian.

Knowing who it was, Luo Qingli and Ye Wangshu went to the Lingqi Cave to block people.

On the third day of the opening of the black market, all the stall owners packed up their things and went back to their homes. Lao Tian made a lot of money by setting up a stall this time. After leaving the black market, he went directly to the wine shop and ordered two jars of high-quality spiritual wine, while drinking it. Strolling back leisurely while drinking a small drink.

Like many fairy cities, Shouyue City has also built many spiritual energy caves for rent on the outskirts of the city. If you choose to stay permanently, the prices of spiritual energy caves are much cheaper than inns.

After drinking a jar of wine, he almost arrived at the rented cave. Lao Tian was already a little tipsy. When he looked up, he saw three monks and two female cultivators in the foundation period who were as beautiful as flowers. One was as bright as an orchid, and the other was as bright as a hibiscus. , the other male cultivator is equally handsome.

Lao Tian couldn't help but look at it a few more times. He was drunk and a little confused. He walked up to the female cultivator in yellow and asked with a smile: "Hey, where did this little lady come from..."

Ye Wangshu frowned, seeing that he was about to make a move, he quickly turned aside to avoid it.

Lao Tian wiped his face and rushed over again, "Little lady, don't run away..."

Ye Wangshu couldn't bear it anymore and kicked the person to the ground.

Lao Tian came back to his senses in an instant. Most of his drunkenness was gone. He sat up and looked at the three of them.

Ye Wangshu looked disgusted. Luo Qingli took two steps forward and looked him over. "Fellow Taoist Tian, ​​I want to ask you something."

Lao Tian is also a good person and regained his consciousness. Once he heard that she even found out his last name, he knew that the other party was well prepared.

He rolled his eyes, and many thoughts flashed through his mind, guessing why the other party came. Before he could come to a conclusion, he heard Luo Qingli ask: "Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​where did your cartilage powder come from? "

Lao Tian's heart was shocked, and an incredible emotion flashed in his eyes.

He had always kept the matter of selling cartilage powder on the black market a secret, and it had been fine for several years. How did they know about it?
He looked over carefully and an idea flashed in his mind, "It's you!"

Although these three people were wearing special clothes when they passed by the stall two days ago, and their voices had changed, they could still be vaguely distinguished from their body shapes.

At that time, Ye Wangshu's questioning made him feel strange, but now these three people have come directly to this place.

"There are never restrictions on what can be sold on the black market, and we never ask where we came from. Are you three trying to break the rules?"

“But we’re not on the black market now!”

Ye Wangshu took out a bag of spirit stones and threw them to his hand, "Old Tian, ​​we are not here to cause trouble. You only need to tell us the origin of the loose cartilage in your hand, and these will be yours."

There are a lot of spiritual stones in the bag. For a casual cultivator, the spiritual stones on hand are generally not too rich. Lao Tian picked up the heavy bag, opened it and counted it. His heart was suddenly moved, and he collected it without saying a word. After entering the storage bag, he opened his mouth and said: "Of course I made the cartilage powder myself. If you want to live a better life these days, you must have a skill at your side. Make some poisons for self-defense and sell them. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Ye Wangshu frowned, and Yan Shitian smiled warmly: "Of course there is nothing wrong, but how do we know whether what Taoist Fellow Tian said is true or false?"

Lao Tian chuckled, "Believe it or not."

He rolled his eyes, the money had been collected anyway, he had said his word, the deal was over.

Lao Tian didn't even look at the three of them. He walked past them in a swaggering way and headed back to the cave. When he passed by Luo Qingli and Ye Wangshu, he turned around with lustful eyes on them.

Ye Wangshu gritted his teeth and his brows jumped. Luo Qingli squinted his eyes. Suddenly his feet moved, and he unfolded his Mizongbu Shi. In a flash, he was behind Lao Tian and put a holding charm on his shoulder.

Lao Tian was immediately frozen in place.

He looked shocked and said loudly: "Fighting is prohibited in Shouyue City. Do you want to enter the Chief's Hall?"

"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​if you accept our spiritual stones, you have to tell the truth, otherwise wouldn't we be at a loss?" Luo Qingli put a true and false talisman on the back of his heart, clapped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian should listen. Is it true or false?"

Lao Tian's eyes suddenly moved.

He has naturally heard of the True and False Talisman. This is a kind of talisman that can distinguish whether a monk is telling the truth or a lie. It sticks to people's hearts. If what is said is the truth, the True and False Talisman will not make any noise, but if it is a lie, the Talisman It will explode instantly. If a low-level monk does not have superior armor, he will basically have to give up.

But this kind of talisman is expensive and unknown. Who has time to buy such a thing!
"Did you really refine the cartilage powder yourself?"

Luo Qingli asked again.

This time Lao Tian didn't answer immediately, his heart was pounding and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
