Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 269: Turtle and Toad Combination
Seeing his reaction, Chen Mu's heart was moved. He knew that he did not trust him, so he chuckled and said, "Don't be upset, fellow Daoist. I have no other intentions. I just need a third-level spiritual material... If you have the third-level Xuanyin Ten Thousand Year Ice, I am willing to buy it at a high price."

The sincere words were spoken slowly, and the stall owner's expression finally eased. However, in the end, he still shook his head and said in a voice transmission: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, fellow Daoist, but I don't have any third-level Xuanyin Ten Thousand Year Ice here."

These words did not sound like empty talk. Chen Mu's eyes flickered, and after a moment, he smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "In that case, it is not my chance..."

Since he didn't have any third-grade Xuanbing, he could only settle for the next best thing. He picked up the only second-grade top-grade Xuanbing, and after checking it, he looked at the stall owner again and said:

"How much is this thing worth?"

The stall owner's expression remained unchanged as he softly replied with a figure: "Ten thousand spirit stones."

"Ten thousand spirit stones..." Chen Mu frowned slightly and calculated secretly.

An ordinary low-grade spiritual sword would only cost about ten thousand spirit stones, but this one, which could probably only be used to refine a low-grade sword blank, cost ten thousand spirit stones, which was really expensive.

But rare goods are valuable, so it is understandable that they are a little more expensive...

"Eight thousand spirit stones!"

Although it was understandable, Chen Mu would not be embarrassed to bargain when it came time.

"Nine thousand spirit stones, no less." When the stall owner saw that Chen Mu really quoted a price, he immediately knew that the cultivator in front of him might be a real customer, not an unintentional person who asked casually, so he hurriedly told the real price he had set.

"Eight thousand five..." Before Chen Mu could finish his words, he saw the stall owner's face quietly become a little ugly, so he smiled and did not continue to bargain. Instead, he said with a smile: "Nine thousand is nine thousand. I am willing to make friends with you!"

This person might have information about the extremely cold ice cave, otherwise there wouldn't be such neatly arranged Xuanyin ten-thousand-year ice. So Chen Mu deliberately made friends with him, thinking that perhaps the third-grade spiritual materials in the future would come from his hands.

Looking at the stall owner's expectant eyes, Chen Mu took out nine thousand spirit stones and exchanged them for the second-grade top-grade black ice.

"It's long and crystal-clear, incredibly hard, and chilling... It's truly second-grade, ultimate-grade Xuanyin Ten Thousand Year Ice."

After playing with it for a few times, he waved his sleeve and put it into the storage bag.

Chen Mu then took out another jade slip and handed it to the stall owner, saying, "This is my sound transmission jade slip. If you ever have any news about the third-level mysterious ice, please let me know directly..."

Seeing the stall owner casually accept it as if it wasn't a big deal, Chen Mu didn't get angry. He turned around and left with a smile.

The purpose of this trip had been achieved, which made him very happy. After returning, he would be able to find a weapon refining master and forge his own spiritual sword...

However, Chen Mu was not in a hurry to return. He had come thousands of miles away, so a few days wouldn't make a difference. He planned to spend the remaining few days exploring the black market first.

……

Three days later, the gray fog that was a thousand feet in radius around Tongcheng Mountain slowly dissipated, and rays of light scattered in all directions one after another, at an incredibly fast speed, almost without any regard for anything.

But even with such speed, there were still some escaping lights that were intercepted by the robbery cultivators. The cultivators inside could only use spells and magic weapons and fight bloody battles.

This kind of situation is common when the black market is dispersed. The robbers who make a living from this ambush on the periphery, waiting for the black market to disperse and the monks to escape and kill them!

The light transformed by Chen Mu moved slowly, hoping to attract a few robbery cultivators to come and give him money, but no one stopped him, perhaps because the robbery cultivators were too experienced or saw through his foundation-building cultivation.

"It backfired..."

Chen Mu laughed in his heart and stopped suppressing his escape speed. He immediately soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon in a blink of an eye.

Several figures of robbery cultivators were left behind with shocked expressions on their faces, looking at each other.

"Luckily he didn't do anything. I would say this person's cultivation is quite good!"

"He's at the same Foundation Establishment stage as my elder brother..."

……

Seven days passed in a flash. On the still and tranquil Crossing Sea Cliff, Gui San lay on the sea-viewing platform, basking in the sun. Beside him, the toad Xiao Qi, nearly falling off the cliff due to being squeezed by him, stared at him with wide eyes and irritation.

Gui San didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he lazily lectured him, "You're quite a boring toad. Don't you know how to respect the elders of the demon clan?"

"Gugua..."

Poor Xiao Qi has not yet been able to break through the realm of the great demon, and does not have the same opportunity as Gui San, so he is still unable to refine the horizontal bone and speak human language. He can only mumble nonsense, and his mouth keeps opening and closing, as if he is saying something.

"Hmm..." Gui San seemed to understand and nodded continuously, but he remained unmoved.

Xiao Qi was so angry that his stomach swelled up. He suddenly jumped and landed directly on Gui San's back.

"Hey! You little brat..."

Gui San was immediately furious and immediately turned over, trying to press Xiao Qi under him to avenge the humiliation he had just suffered.

For a moment, the endless sounds from the cliffs interrupted the tranquility here.

After a long time, the turtle and the toad became quiet again. When they were lying on the sea-viewing platform and looking at the sea in the distance, Gui San suddenly turned his head and took a look as if he had sensed something.

Not long after, a figure was seen slowly stepping onto the cliff and walking towards this side.

The person who came was wearing a maple-colored long skirt, with fair and delicate skin, and her black hair was neatly tied together, making her look much softer.

"Xiao Qi, is your master here?"

The woman saw at first sight a strange pair of a turtle and a toad. She didn't recognize the turtle, but she knew the toad very well. She could be said to have watched it grow up, so she chuckled and asked.

When Xiao Qi saw the acquaintance, he was very excited. He quickly jumped to the woman's side, staring with wide eyes and shaking his head.

"Hmm?" The woman's heart moved when she saw this. Could it be such a coincidence?
"That kid isn't here..."

Suddenly, Gui San spoke in a cold and muffled voice, which immediately scared the woman.

"Big demon?"

There was a flicker of surprise in the woman's eyes that lasted for a long time.

"Senior...do you know where he went?"

Although she knew that Chen Mu had successfully established his foundation, she was still unable to react and was quite nervous when she suddenly encountered such a big monster that was equivalent to the foundation-building stage.

"I don't know. The boy never told me his whereabouts. He just said he was going out for something." Gui San shook his head indifferently.

"Oh..." Hearing this, the woman looked quite disappointed. After a pause, she bowed and prepared to leave.

When Gui San saw her like this, he became interested and quickly stopped the woman and asked:
"You care so much, maybe you like him..."

Before he could finish his words, his head shrank subconsciously and he turned to look at the distant horizon.

"he came."

The woman's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard that, and she quickly turned around to look, but for a moment she saw nothing.

It was not until a while later that a beam of light as bright as water appeared quietly on the horizon and landed on the cliff in the blink of an eye.

Chen Mu, dressed in a white robe and with his hair tied up with a green hairpin, slowly stepped forward, pursed his lips and smiled, saying:

"Senior Sister Han, long time no see!"
