Chapter 205: Shocking Changes in the Market
As soon as these words were spoken, the Foundation Establishment cultivators became bored, but the spirits of the Qi Condensation cultivators on the first floor of the hall suddenly became high.

Especially those family monks who came together, their realm was not very high, and such a rare and high-grade magic weapon, which was so terrifying when used, completely met their needs.

"Five hundred and fifty spirit stones!"

"Six hundred!"

"Seven hundred spirit stones."

……

Following Yue Zhengye's signal, several people immediately competed to bid.

In the end, two of the young monks were so angry that they seemed to be competing with each other.

It’s a pity that the two of them didn’t stop swearing at each other for long before they were stopped by the elders of their respective families.

For this reason, Chen Mu, who was hiding in the corner, felt very regretful and sighed.

"A little later, this top-grade magical weapon would have surpassed a thousand spirit stones... What a shame."

In fact, he was just saying that. After all, the real price of the Flame Ruler was only six or seven hundred spirit stones. Being able to sell it for nine hundred and fifty spirit stones was already very good.

As soon as one item is auctioned, the next one follows immediately.

I don’t know how long it took, but today’s opening day gradually came to an end.

None of the magical weapons that Chen Muji bid for were second-rate, especially the two top-grade magical weapons, whose popularity was beyond his expectation.

Among them, the long red gold nail lived up to his expectations and was sold for 2,100 spirit stones.

And that special magic weapon, the Natian Basket, was exchanged for 3,700 spirit stones.

It is worth mentioning that the Natian basket was bought by a foundation-building cultivator.

If the Qi Condensation cultivator had not been too hesitant to compete with the Foundation Establishment senior, the Na Tian Lan alone would have allowed him to take back four thousand spirit stones.

"That's enough. It's much more than what I could get by offering it to my master. It's enough for me to pass all three levels..."

Chen Mu pondered to himself, his joy not stopping for a moment.

After a long time, the auction came to an end after Yue Zhengye put away the last item of the day, a top-grade spiritual weapon.

The cultivators in the main hall slowly left, each with a different expression.

Some were overjoyed, some were sad, and the majority had a look of wanting more.

After all, this event really opened their eyes.

Even though Chen Mu always adhered to the idea of ​​not wasting, he still couldn't help but be interested in several of the items.

Fortunately, I restrained myself in the end...

After a while, when the number of people gradually decreased, Chen Mu followed the maid to a private room.

"Wait a moment, senior."

Chen Mu nodded without saying anything, and sat aside waiting without any restraint.

"Hahahaha...Fellow Daoist Jiang!"

A moment later, the person in charge who had been seen in the Qianling Hall before walked in. Before he arrived, the voice of congratulations came over.

"This time, Fellow Daoist Jiang's many magical instruments all fetched good prices. It seems that tomorrow's grand event...will be the time for Fellow Daoist to show off his skills."

Chen Mu's heart moved when he heard this, and he smiled slightly and said, "Okay, okay."

Seeing that he agreed, the male cultivator in charge laughed and took out a storage bag and pushed it in front of Chen Mu: "Fellow Daoist, please give me some."

Chen Mu used his spiritual sense to investigate and nodded, "That's right."

"That's great. I wonder if you are free tonight. I'm planning to hold a Taoist banquet in Wangshan Market. I hope you will come and support me."

After saying that, the male cultivator in charge narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully observed Chen Mu's reaction.

Chen Mu's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he felt uneasy.

"If there's nothing else, I'll definitely be there!"

He paused for a moment, then said in a relaxed tone.

After the two chatted for a few more words, Chen Mu stood up and said goodbye.

After Chen Mu disappeared, the male cultivator in charge paused for a long time, then suddenly muttered to himself, "This boy has reached a high level and a solid foundation. Perhaps he can be of greater use to the Lord... Keep an eye on him. If he tries to leave..."

As the words were murmured, a cool breeze suddenly rose from nowhere in the room, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

……

Chen Mu did not stop and went straight back to the courtyard.

Originally, he had intended to take the spirit stones and return to the mountain gate. But the reason he returned to his residence in the market town was because he felt like someone was following him...

"Something's wrong..."

Chen Mu frowned, trying hard to recall the description of this place in She Yingtan's letter.

But no matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't find anything wrong.

"Is it an illusion?"

Chen Mu raised a single eyebrow and said, "No matter if it's an illusion or not, I must return to the mountain gate as soon as possible. Don't create any more trouble!"

After making up his mind, he immediately sat cross-legged and practiced qigong and breathing exercises, trying to get out of the market after dark.

Time passed, and the cold twilight reappeared, but this time, the beautiful maid with affectionate eyes was no longer in front of Chen Mu's courtyard.

Not long after, a voice sounded from outside, immediately bringing Chen Mu back to his senses.

"Senior Jiang, my family's head has sent me to tell you to come to the banquet."

Chen Mu's heart moved when he heard this. This time he did not agree, but politely declined and went back.

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist, but I suddenly feel unwell and need to recuperate. I would like to ask you to report back on my behalf."

"This is."

After everyone left, Chen Mu slowly opened the door and saw that Wangshan Market was forming a very tacit scene.

Countless monks rushed to the center of the town, and judging from their chatting and laughing expressions, they were probably looking forward to such a banquet with their fellow monks.

"It's none of my business, so just ignore it."

Chen Mu's eyes flashed, and after using all his strength to activate the Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique, he quietly rushed out of the courtyard and headed towards the outside of the market.

A thousand people go in, one person goes out!
He suddenly turned his head and glanced at the empty space not far behind him.

"I hope you won't show up..."

Although Chen Mu did not use his full speed, with the blessing of his realm, it did not take him too much time to reach the edge of the market.

Seeing this, he used even more of his magic power, and his speed instantly increased even more!
"call out!"

Just as he was approaching the outside, a pitch-black chain flew through the air at high speed, blocking his way.

"Humph!"

Chen Mu's face turned cold, and without thinking, he used his most powerful technique, the Xiaoguishui Minglei Secret Technique!

"boom!"

A water-colored dark lightning as thick as an arm appeared in an instant, but it did not hit the chain, but struck not far behind him.

With a "snap" sound, the water waterfall technique that had just been summoned blocked the black chains.

And the water-colored dark thunder place also rarely lost its former prowess...

An unknown monk covered in a black robe stopped the water-colored dark thunder with just a red rope on his wrist, and gradually dissipated it bit by bit.

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He did not try to attack again, but suddenly turned around and continued to run out of the market.

"Shh..."

Just as he started to move, he heard a slight sound.

A ray of dark white light suddenly rose up, passed behind him in just a breath, and extended rapidly towards the center of the town!
"not good!"

Chen Mu's eyes twitched, and he didn't care about attracting the attention of the people in the dark. All his magic power suddenly burst out, and he distanced himself from the man in black robe in a flash.

While this mysterious light curtain has not yet closed, there is still a slight chance...

"Fellow Taoist, stay!"

A light and ethereal voice was heard, and even Chen Mu, who was trying to escape, could hear it clearly.

Chen Mu used his spiritual sense to take a quick look and saw a tall and beautiful female cultivator not far behind him screaming in surprise. She must have also noticed that something was wrong here, so she was only a little slower than Chen Mu.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't leave. I am Mu Nannan, the seventh princess of the Mu Kingdom. If you help me escape this danger, I will give you a lifetime of resources!"

The beautiful female cultivator continued to move forward, but she realized she couldn't catch up with Chen Mu. She turned around and glanced at the black-robed man who was getting closer and closer. She was immediately shocked and cried out in a sobbing voice, "Fellow Daoist, don't go. I... I'm scared!"

Chen Mu said nothing, his eyes fixed on the dark white light curtain, observing its extension, as if it would completely close in the next moment.

"go!"

The next moment, ripples appeared in the azure light curtain. Chen Mu took the black-robed man's attack head-on and narrowly escaped from Wangshan Market...
