Stepping onto the path to immortality, it all begins with buying the daughter of a disgraced officia

"Fiveteen hundred spirit stones!"

At this moment, everyone was shocked. No one expected that Wang Rou would drive the price down to this level!

One thousand five hundred spirit stones per stone, totaling seven thousand five hundred spirit stones, is enough to buy several decent low-grade magic artifacts. Most people wouldn't be willing to spend that money to buy five pills!

Bai Ye's back teeth were practically grinding to powder!

"Wang Rou! I'll remember what happened today. Let's go!"

He finished speaking.

Bai Ye angrily waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the private room, leaving the black market.

en route.

His subordinate reported, "Young Master, we've identified the person in the top-tier private room. According to our information, the Qi Gathering Pill being auctioned was sold by this person!"

An alchemist?!

Bai Ye's expression changed slightly. He was glad that he hadn't offended the other party too much. Competing with Wang Rou would only result in losing face. If he had really offended an alchemist, it would have brought huge trouble to his family!

"No! This is a serious matter; I must go back and inform my father immediately!"

Thinking of this, Bai Ye immediately rushed to the Bai family, not daring to slack off in the slightest!

clatter--

With Mingya bringing down the gavel, the auction came to a close.

"Mr. Mu, all your spoils and medicinal herbs have been stored in your storage bag. We welcome you to visit us again!"

Meng Ziling respectfully handed the storage bag to Su Mu, her words laced with a hint of flirtation. However, Su Mu was unmoved by her advances, took the storage bag, and turned to leave.

The more this happened, the more interested Meng Ziling became in Su Mu. Watching his departing figure, she murmured, "Mr. Su Mu, I've got you all to myself!"

As luck would have it, Su Mu had just left the top-tier private room when he ran into Wang Rou and her group at a corner.

"This person..."

Su Mu wore a mask and a black cloak, completely concealing his face and even his aura. Therefore, when Wang Rou looked at him, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Old Zhao, did you feel it?" Wang Rou asked in a low voice, watching Su Mu's departing figure.

Standing beside her, Elder Zhao nodded. "This person's strength is considerable; it's highly likely she's stronger than me!"

brush--

Wang Rou was momentarily stunned. She knew that Elder Zhao, as one of the Wang family's retainers, was a mid-stage expert at the fifth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. Even in Pingyang County, he was a formidable figure. And the person who had just passed by was even stronger than him?

"Miss, there's one more thing. The Qi Gathering Pill you won at this auction was made by this very person!"

"What?!"

Wang Rou was even more surprised and couldn't help but whisper, "When did such a mysterious and powerful figure emerge from Pingyang County?"

"Having roamed the martial world for many years, as far as I know, to refine a flawless quality pill, the alchemist's rank must be at least fifth-grade!"

Fifth-grade alchemy master?

This has never happened before in the entire Pingyang County!

Wang Rou's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange expression appeared on her usually cool and pretty face. "Quickly, back to the manor! I need to tell Father about this!"

After they left.

Meng Ziling just walked out from around the corner.

A maid followed behind her.

"Hehe~ It seems the weather in Pingyang County is about to change!"

"..."

Seven thousand five hundred spirit stones were obtained.

Su Mu was not in a hurry to return to the village. Instead, he took this opportunity to visit various stalls in the black market, looking for opportunities to purchase some magical artifacts.

Although the Annihilation Sword given by Shi Lei is of good quality, it is still a mortal weapon. It is only passable against ordinary martial artists, but it will definitely be at a disadvantage if it encounters a cultivator of the same realm!

Finally, he came to a vendor's stall, his gaze falling on a row of magical artifacts on display, and began to examine them.

Talismans, magic beads, swords, knives...

"Oh! Sir, what kind of magical artifact would you like? May I recommend one?" The stall owner forced a smile and said very solicitously.

Su Mu pondered for a moment, then pointed to the items on the stall, "One sword and one shield, all these talismans wrapped up, and this..."

At this moment, his gaze fell on the pale gold crossbow on the far left. Just as he was about to ask a question, the stall owner spoke first:

"Sir, you have excellent taste! This is the Heavenly Mystery Crossbow, and like this Azure Edge Sword and the Mysterious Steel Shield, it is a low-grade magic weapon! As long as it is activated by magic power, it can be fired instantly, and its power is comparable to a full-force attack from a Qi Condensation Realm Level 3 cultivator. If used properly, it can be fatal in one strike!"

This is a good thing!

However, Su Mu showed no emotion, his tone indifferent: "Name your price."

"One price, ten thousand spirit stones, how about it?"

"..."

Su Mu remained silent, only turning around repeatedly.

"Hey hey hey!"

Seeing this, the stall owner hurriedly stepped out of his stall and grabbed Su Mu, "Hey, fellow Daoist, doing business is all about give and take, why don't you try to bargain?"

"Bargaining?"

"That's right! Bargain!"

Su Mu couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, thinking to himself, "You said those words yourself, so don't blame me for being impolite!"

"One price, five thousand spirit stones. If you ask for one more, you can wait for someone else who is destined to receive it."

"..."

The stall owner's lips twitched; he wanted to slap himself. "You shut-up! What the hell are you talking about?!"

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Just as Su Mu turned around, the stall owner's voice rang out: "Deal! Five thousand spirit stones it is, consider it making friends!"

Hearing the sound.

Su Mu smiled.

With a wave of his hand, the storage bag flew into the other person's hand. The stall owner took the storage bag, probed it with his divine sense, and immediately beamed with joy, "Fellow Daoist, you are so generous!"

Immediately.

After the stall owner took the spirit stones, he returned the storage bag to Su Mu and presented him with several magical artifacts.

"Fellow Daoist, please take care!"

"..."

soon.

After shaking off his tail, Su Mu left the black market, found a secluded place, changed out of his black clothes, and once again appeared old, before heading towards Qianxiang Tower.

With his current cultivation level and the magic weapon he possesses, ordinary cultivators are no match for him. Even if he is not that strong, he at least has the ability to protect himself!

Not long after!

Su Mu entered Qianxiang Tower, went to the private room he had used before, and summoned the top courtesan, Liu Meier.

"This humble servant greets Your Excellency!"

Holding a pipa and dressed in a light gauze dress, Liu Meier bowed slightly to Su Mu, her exquisite figure subtly revealed, especially her proud breasts, which were half-hidden and half-revealed. Any ordinary person would surely be aroused to the point of being thirsty.

"Has the Green Snake Society made any moves recently?"

Su Mu poured himself a glass of wine and pushed it toward Liu Meier, his tone calm and indifferent.

Liu Meier picked up her wine cup and drank it down in one gulp, then replied softly, "My lord, according to the information I've gathered, something serious seems to have happened within the Green Snake Society. All eight hall masters have been recalled, and the entire Green Snake Society is tightly shut..."

Upon hearing this news, Su Mu raised an eyebrow. No wonder the Eagle King's men hadn't come looking for trouble as the deadline approached. It seemed that something had truly happened within the Green Snake Society.

"Anything else?"

"I know nothing else, but there is one strange thing: recently, the Green Snake Society has been inexplicably kidnapping people from the surrounding villages, and those they have taken are all young boys and girls!"

"..."
