Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

In Li Guanqi's understanding, these stone pillars in the Land of Eternal Silence had existed for a long time, and no one knew what they were for.

They only knew that the stone pillars would seal off this world, preventing outsiders from entering.

Of course... they also wouldn't let the people inside leave.

They were like caged birds trapped by the three thousand stone pillars and the chains of the firmament.

The Land of Eternal Silence was dark and sunless, shrouded in heavy dark clouds all year round, which also caused many people's skin to appear a morbid pale.

Moreover, the resources of many people and cultivators were very scarce, otherwise they wouldn't have kept the empty shells of immortal crystals.

And no one knew how long the Land of Eternal Silence had existed.

Anyway, he had killed so many people before, and none of them knew.

Li Guanqi woke up from his cultivation state, glanced at the sky, and then put on a black robe and walked out of the tavern.

Candlelight flickered in the ancient city, and shadows flickered, but it was quiet enough to be frightening.

Clearly, there were many people walking on the streets of the ancient city, but no one spoke. Occasionally, someone would stop in front of a stall, but only used sign language.

The old, weak, women, and children were all like this.

Li Guanqi walked silently on the streets of the ancient city, but he noticed that occasionally he could still hear people talking!

However, these people spoke in very low voices, and the voices were hoarse, sounding particularly strange.

Li Guanqi's eyes flickered, and he went to another stall, casually looking at the things on the ground.

They were all gadgets that cultivators carried with them, or fragments of some magical artifact that still had spirituality.

His divine sense swept over the cultivator, and there was a line of blood on the other party's neck.

The edge of the blood line wound from bottom to top still had... wood chips?

Moreover...

Li Guanqi discovered that the other party's vocal cords were not flesh and blood, but some kind of strange wood-based spiritual object replaced the vocal cords.

The stall owner in front of him probably saw Li Guanqi's intention, and the withered old man patted his hand.

The dry, large hand slowly made a few hand gestures under the cover of his clothes.

"You want Voice-Eating Vine?"

Seeing the other party's sign language, Li Guanqi calmly asked in sign language.

"Do you have a way?"

Originally, Li Guanqi was just curious as to why the other party could speak.

But now that the old man took the initiative to ask him, he was a little curious.

If possible, he would also like to install one, being able to speak was just a trivial aspect.

More importantly, this could make him look more like a 'local'.

The old man didn't waste any time and made a few gestures.

The general meaning was that he could help connect him.

Li Guanqi nodded slightly. Seeing this, the old man took out a storage bag and directly collected all the things on the ground.

As for why the old man would take the initiative to say this...

Li Guanqi looked down at the three storage rings on his hand, and casually tore off two of them.

The old man put away the storage bag, got up and led Li Guanqi through the dark alley towards the north of the ancient city.

Li Guanqi was shrouded in a black robe, and he became more and more curious about this Land of Eternal Silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Guanqi came to a very hidden tavern under the guidance of the old man.

The old man didn't know what he said to the shopkeeper. The fat shopkeeper with a bloated figure glanced at Li Guanqi, and then nodded slightly.

The old man bowed and saluted, looked back at Li Guanqi and beckoned him to go to the second floor.

Li Guanqi nodded silently. This Silent Market was a bit like the black market outside.

However... in the Land of Eternal Silence, the Silent Market seemed to be even more mysterious.

As soon as he stepped into it, countless curious eyes fell on the two of them.

Li Guanqi also felt many powerful auras!

Just the guardians hiding in the dark of this Silent Market were not low in cultivation realm, two True Immortals in the sixth level!

Moreover, most of the cultivators setting up stalls here were Celestial Immortals, and there were very few Profound Immortals.

The circular building street occupied nearly three hundred feet.

Many white lanterns floated in the dark sky of the Silent Market.

Li Guanqi looked back, and a light gate stood between two shops.

And there were more than ten entrances like this.

The light gate flickered, and many cultivators who concealed their auras walked into the Silent Market from other light gates.

The old man led Li Guanqi straight to a shop with a not-small storefront.

The shop was filled with many natural treasures and spiritual plants.

Looking at those heaven and earth spiritual objects, Li Guanqi thought it was a Treasure Pavilion from the outside world.

The spiritual objects were of high rank and extremely high quality!

The boss was a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue robe.

He had neat short hair, dark skin, and straight features.

A pair of tiger eyes fell on the old man and frowned slightly, making a few casual gestures.

Li Guanqi swept his divine sense and knew that the old man owed people money.

The old man smiled apologetically and made gestures repeatedly.

The man glanced at Li Guanqi in surprise. The man was slightly startled the moment their eyes met.

"If you're here to see about your eyes, I can't help you."

Li Guanqi heard the man's voice.

Li Guanqi shook his head, pointed to his throat and whispered.

"I want Voice-Eating Vine."

The man's face immediately showed a smile when he heard this.

He glanced at the old man and waved him away.

The old man didn't even dare to ask Li Guanqi for a reward and hurried away.

"Old Zhang owes me a lot of money, but don't give him money, the old guy is not a good person."

Li Guanqi smiled. It was a little strange to hear words of 'concern' in this place.

It was this inexplicable concern that raised Li Guanqi's vigilance to the extreme.

"My name is Fan Ming, you can call me Uncle Ming."

"Come in with me, replacing the Voice-Eating Vine is relatively simple, and it can be done quickly."

Li Guanqi followed the other party to the room behind the shop.

A stone bed seemed particularly abrupt.

Fan Ming turned around and came to the wall to embed a jade pendant. The formation flowed, and a wooden box popped out.

Fan Ming carefully took the wooden box and placed it on the stone bed.

After opening it, there was a section of emerald green vine inside.

The surface of the vine looked soft and had some sticky liquid, like flesh and blood.

The man casually took a pill and handed it to Li Guanqi and said.

"Let's make it clear first, this Voice-Eating Vine is valuable, do you have the money to pay for it?"

Li Guanqi took the pill, and his divine sense swept over it but found nothing unusual, but he still kept an eye out, clenched it in his palm and smiled.

"What do you want, tell me."

The man then made a few gestures, and Li Guanqi frowned slightly.

This guy's appetite is not small... The other party meant that he needed at least 60 million first-grade immortal crystals!

Li Guanqi's eyes flickered, and then he took out three precious spiritual plants.

"Is it enough?"

"Enough, enough, enough! Eat the pill and we'll start."

Li Guanqi lay on the stone bed and swallowed the pill.

Soon the hidden toxins of the medicinal power instantly spread throughout his body!

Li Guanqi felt a burst of numbness, and the man's rustling voice came from his ear.

The cold, sharp touch was actually cutting his throat little by little.

But the other party stopped moving after cutting a two-finger-wide wound.

Raising the dagger, Li Guanqi felt that the other party's dagger was aimed at his eyes!
