Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 116 Paying murder to kill someone

"Yuansha Grass is an extremely rare spiritual herb. It is very useful for refining certain magical instruments or some unique spells."

On the high platform, the auctioneer opened a wooden box, and a cold aura immediately spread out.

Feeling this breath, most people frowned, but a few people's eyes lit up. This thing is indeed rare and indeed useful.

After showing it around and quietly taking in everyone's reactions, the auctioneer closed the wooden box again.

"This piece of Yu Sha grass was sent by a customer for auction. The total number is more than five, but the other party's requirements are quite special, so it needs to be negotiated in person. Fellow Taoists who are interested can go to the dark hall to communicate with the seller after the auction."

After leaving a word, the auctioneer had the evil grass delivered.

Sitting in the audience and watching this scene, Jiang Chen became interested.

This evil grass grows with the aura of evil. Although it is rare, it is actually of no use to ordinary cultivators. However, it is indeed a tonic when refining some ferocious magical instruments or spells.

"The flood destroyed homes, left countless souls wandering, and filled the people with resentment. This is likely how the evil grass appeared."

"And the Blood Evil True Flame I cultivated can just refine the power of the Wrongful Evil Grass and increase my own might. If possible, I can get this Wrongful Evil Grass."

As his thoughts turned, Jiang Chen came up with some ideas about this evil grass.

Because of his powerful soul, he has certain advantages in comprehending spells. However, even so, so far, he has only mastered one Qi Si technique. If he has enough Yuan Sha Grass, he is confident that he can practice the Blood Evil True Flame to the mastery level in a short period of time.

After an incense stick of time, the auction officially ended with a mid-grade magic weapon being sold at a high price of nine hundred spirit stones.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen left the crowd and, under the guidance of the auction staff, walked into the dark hall where someone was already waiting. While Jiang Chen was talking to the so-called seller, two people were watching this scene silently in secret.

"Fellow Daoist Huigu, I'm sorry to trouble you again this time."

Gao Sixing, who was very graceful, turned his gaze to the Taoist standing next to him. He was wearing a gray robe and was extremely thin, as if skin was wrapped around bones. His eyes were a very rare gray, as if he was blind. Looking into his eyes always made people feel a little chilled.

Hearing this, Taoist Gray Bone nodded.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Gao. Since I've accepted this business, I won't let you down. However, I also hope you can prepare what you promised me."

With a hoarse voice, the Gray Bone Taoist spoke.

After saying that, he turned his gaze to the dark hall again, looking at the few people who came in and screening his next companions.

Hearing this and looking at the Gray Bone Taoist, Gao Sixing became more and more satisfied.

It was also a piece of luck. After he released the news of the evil grass, the Gray Bone Taoist took the initiative to come to him. After confirming the identity of the Gray Bone Taoist, he personally came forward and reached a deal with the Gray Bone Taoist.

Taoist Huigu killed Taoist Taiping Jiang Chen, destroyed the Taiping Sect, retrieved the shell seeds for him, and erased all traces.

"Jiang Chen, my things are not that easy to take."

Thinking of the Dangjiang bandits, the Yuling Sect, and how all his previous efforts had benefited Jiang Chen, Gao Sixing's heart was filled with murderous intent.

He had enough confidence in the Gray Bone Taoist. The Gray Bone Taoist was not only a cultivator who had achieved a small degree of success in Qi training, but also had mastered some weapon refining techniques. He had several magical weapons on him and his combat power was not weak. Not to mention that they also planned to find two helpers just in case.

"Gray Bone Taoist, this person seems to be the Corpse Taoist. I heard that he is good at controlling corpses. He has an iron corpse that can be used to resist Jiang Chen's flying sword. Perhaps he would be a good choice."

Thinking of the good idea, Gao Sixing pointed at Jiang Chen in the field and spoke. He couldn't wait for Jiang Chen to die.

Hearing this, the Gray Bone Taoist frowned for a moment, but soon relaxed.

He had come into contact with the Corpse Taoist before. Although his strength wasn't particularly strong, he was steady and not the impetuous type. He could keep secrets and was a useful person. Most importantly, the Iron Corpse was indeed a good human shield. Although he was confident in his own strength, he didn't underestimate Jiang Chen and still treated him with respect.

"Fellow Daoist Gao has an outstanding vision. I have met this Taoist corpse master before, and he is indeed a good candidate."

Nodding in agreement, Taoist Huigu also praised Gao Sixing.

Although with his strength, there is no need for him to please Gao Sixing even if he comes from a Gao family, but after so many years of hard work, he has long been open-minded about many things, and he likes this kind of free and beneficial things the most.

Hearing this, Gao Sixing's mood suddenly became even better. He had heard a lot of flattery, but the same words sounded different when spoken by a servant and by a cultivator who had achieved a small level of Qi training. You have to know that he himself had just achieved perfect spiritual inspiration and had never practiced Qi training.

At this moment, his complacency reached its peak, and he felt more and more that his decision was right.

Just like that, after some selection, Gao Sixing and Gray Bone Taoist initially chose Corpse Taoist and Black Hearted Old Man as helpers. Compared with Corpse Taoist, Black Hearted Old Man was more extreme in his behavior, robbing and doing all kinds of evil, and every time he took action, he would kill everyone without leaving a single person alive.

It was precisely because of this that Gao Sixing chose him, as he wanted someone who was ruthless and merciless.

After receiving the news, the middle-aged Taoist Jia Ming, who was originally talking with Jiang Chen, suddenly changed his attitude and was no longer perfunctory as before.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen guessed something, and it was at this time that Jia Ming spoke again.

"Fellow Daoist, are you familiar with the Taiping Sect?"

There was a hint of inquiry in his words as Jia Ming watched Jiang Chen's reaction.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was quite surprised, but his face showed three parts of impatience, three parts of confusion, and three parts of curiosity.

"Is it the one from Qinghe County? It seems they caused quite a stir before. I've heard of the Taiping Sect, but I've never dealt with them, so I'm not very familiar with them."

After a brief pause, Jiang Chen gave the answer.

Looking at Jiang Chen like this, Jia Ming nodded.

"If that's the case, then it's easy to say. If you really want the Wrathful Evil Grass, then you need to kill the Taoist Priest Taiping, Jiang Chen. After that, I will give you two stalks of Wrathful Evil Grass. Of course, you don't have to worry too much. This time, a cultivator who has achieved a minor level of Qi training will take action. You just need to provide some help."

In a low voice, Jia Ming finally revealed the true content of the transaction.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen felt strange. He didn't expect that someone would ask him to kill him.

"If you have any concerns, you can consider it carefully. However, if you refuse, please stay on Yanhui Island for another month. As compensation, I will give you fifty spirit stones."

Looking at Jiang Chen who seemed a little conflicted, Jia Ming added a sentence. At this moment, a cold aura spread out, as if warning Jiang Chen.

Sensing this aura, Jiang Chen knew that the other party was not lying and that there really was a cultivator who had achieved a minor level of Qi training targeting him.

"There really is everything in this world."

Sighing in his heart, the expression on Jiang Chen's face changed again.

"I've made this deal, but just in case, you must give me a piece of the Wrathful Devil Grass in advance."

The voice was low and Jiang Chen's face was full of ruthlessness.

Seeing this, Jia Ming was not surprised but happy, and immediately agreed to Jiang Chen's request. It was normal to ask for a deposit for doing dirty work. As for taking the things and leaving, that was also possible, as long as you had the ability to do so.

Moreover, even evil cultivators have to keep their word at certain times, otherwise they will have a hard time after the news leaks out. Take this time for example, one of the main reasons why Jiang Chen and Black Hearted Old Man were selected was that they had good credibility.
