Chapter 103 Black Market (seeking a monthly pass)
Fang City.
Ever since he knew that there might be clues to the foundation building Dandan formula in the black market, Liang Sheng has been paying attention to this news.
As he observed the activities of Fangshi for so many days, he finally got something today. Someone in the east of Fangshi seems to be related to the black market.
On this day, Liang Sheng turned around a few alleys in a low-key manner, and his appearance was slightly adjusted every time he came out. After a few times, he was completely different from his original appearance.
When he arrived in the East District of Fangshi, Liang Sheng found his target at first glance, because in front of a stall, the stall owner with a black cloth hanging over one eye was very recognizable.
Five levels of Qi training.
The stall owner's cultivation base is not too high, but his appearance looks a bit fierce, so there are actually not many people staying in front of his stall.
At this time, Liang Sheng didn't stare at the other party closely, but set up a stall opposite him not far away.
Liang Sheng put a few low-level talismans such as Vajra Talismans and Qingxin Talismans on the booth, and then began to close his eyes and meditate.
People in other booths couldn't help but glanced at Liang Sheng when they saw the talismans, and then stopped paying attention. After all, it was just a casual practice of the third level of qi training, and there was really nothing worth noting.
Liang Sheng didn't care about it, this was the effect he wanted, and his perception had always been on the one-eyed monk.
In the afternoon, there were occasional people buying things at the one-eyed monk's booth. During the conversation, Liang Sheng didn't hear any clues about the black market.
However, Liang Sheng was not in a hurry, and even sold a few talismans during this period, and harvested two low-grade spirit stones.
Looking at the setting sun, Liang Sheng stood up first and put away the stalls. Then he wandered around a few stalls, and then he exited a stall neatly as if he didn’t see anything of interest.
On the second day, Liang Sheng changed his appearance as yesterday, and entered the booth again, but he didn't know if he came too early, and the one-eyed monk did not appear.
Liang Sheng was a little helpless seeing this, but he was not in a hurry, and continued to set up a booth, but he didn't expect that after two days, the one-eyed monk did not show up.
It wasn't until the third day that the other party showed up. Liang Sheng was relieved, but the other party's spirit was vaguely bad, which made Liang Sheng pay more attention.
Ordinary monks would not be so tired, unless they had consumed too much in the past three days, they might have this kind of reaction.
Moreover, he found that all the things on the Cyclops booth had been changed, and there was even a one-year-old spiritual herb.
After all, some of the spiritual herbs in the outskirts of the mountains and forests around Fang City have long been found by casual cultivators. It is not easy for the one-eyed cultivator to have a year-round heart-nourishing grass in his hands.
Seeing this, Liang Sheng immediately felt that he had not gone in the wrong direction. Maybe the other party did have clues to the black market, otherwise, where did this nourishing grass come from?
Liang Sheng thought for a while, then got up, and walked to the booth of Cyclops, "How do you sell this heart-nourishing grass?"
Cultivator Cyclops slightly raised his head to glance at Liang Sheng, and said hoarsely, "Thirty low-grade spirit stones."
Liang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, a little unbelievable, and then said softly: "I wonder if it can be cheaper?"
Brother Cyclops didn't raise his head at this time, "No bargaining."
Liang Sheng pretended to be a little hesitant, a little hesitant, and finally sighed, "It's a pity that there is no chance."
Liang Sheng shook his head and left, Cyclops didn't care, and other immortal cultivators didn't react when they saw this.
After all, how many people can easily get 30 spirit stones?
There are quite a few casual cultivators who know how to make alchemy in Fang City, but most of them are at half the level. A hundred-year-old heart-nourishing grass can make a lot of elixir, but who is sure that alchemy will be successful?
But no one saw that when Liang Sheng turned to leave, a piece of talisman paper had already stuck to the one-eyed monk, and then disappeared instantly.
This is the tracking talisman that Liang Sheng had previously refined. With his cultivation base, the talisman was almost instantly attached to his body.
Cultivator Cyclops cannot escape his pursuit.
…
The other side.
Chen Mo has been in a bad mood for the past few days, because with Liang Sheng's reminder, he naturally found the tail behind him.
It turned out that someone was actually following him secretly.
But he looks the same as before, but he is thinking in his heart, who wants to plot against him.
The Consonance Grass has already been handed over to Ding Yizhen. Is there anyone else who is planning to replace the resources obtained from Ding Yizhen by himself?
Chen Mo didn't know about this, but Liang Sheng had been in seclusion for the past few days, and he hadn't been seen for several days. In addition, he seemed to be in trouble, so he simply didn't bother too much.
It is understandable that he avoids Liang Sheng. After all, Liang Sheng is only a casual cultivator in the third level of Qi training, and it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
If he was in Liang Sheng's situation, he might choose the same choice as Liang Sheng, but Chen Mo doesn't need to worry too much about his own safety for the time being, after all, there is generally no danger in Fangshi.
Ding Yizhen is not pretending that the three sects and six sects maintain the safety of Fangshi, but they all have the same attitude. This is actually the bottom line of Fangshi.
If casual cultivators really have a life-and-death grievance, then they can leave Fangshi, no matter what they do, no one will care.
Chen Mo was annoyed, so he simply stopped going out, and used these few days to stabilize the sixth level of Qi training.
In this way, Chen Mo stayed in Fangshi and did not go out, but it made the other party a little impatient.
Qian Yongjian actually didn't expect Chen Mo to have no intention of leaving Fangshi after breaking through the barrier, so he couldn't help getting anxious.
For this small piece of spiritual land that might exist, he was bound to win it, and then he waited patiently for a while, and found that Chen Mo still had no plans to leave Fangshi, and finally made up his mind to meet Chen Mo.
On this day, Liang Sheng refined talismans at home as usual, and went to the east area of Fangshi in the afternoon. At this time, the fire ball talismans and water ball talismans in his hand were successful one after another.
Liang Sheng was naturally delighted. Presumably, as long as he was given enough time, he would be able to achieve a 100% success rate for these two talismans.
Just when he was about to draw other kinds of talismans, Chen Mo came to the door suddenly, holding a jade slip in his hand, which made Liang Sheng a little strange.
"Qian Yongjian sent someone to contact me yesterday, saying that he wanted to invite me to have a cup of tea."
Qian Yongjian?
Is it so straightforward?
Liang Sheng naturally knew who the other party was. After all, he followed the other party's cave back then, so how could he not inquire about the other party's origin.
"Then you are going to meet him?"
Chen Mo nodded when he heard the words. Now he also wants to know why the other party followed him, and what is there on his body that deserves his attention?
After all, Qian Yongjian, who is at the eighth level of Qi training, is an unattainable existence in his eyes. He doesn't know how long it will take for him to break through the eighth level of Qi training.
Before Chen Mo finished speaking, he was rejected by Liang Sheng, "Chen Daoyou, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I don't have big ambitions, otherwise I wouldn't need to enter Fangshi as a talisman maker.
I know that my fortune is not enough, so I just want to practice and live with peace of mind. Everything else has nothing to do with me. Cultivation depends on fate after all. "
Hearing Liang Sheng's words, Chen Mo couldn't help being a little moved. He didn't expect Liang Sheng to be so temperamental, but he felt more relieved at this moment.
It's a pity that no matter how much he persuaded, Liang Sheng just refused to accept the jade slip in his hand, "Chen Daoyou, let's just open the skylight and speak honestly.
I'm just a casual cultivator at the third level of qi training, I don't want to get into trouble, so don't hurt me.
Furthermore, today I saw fellow Daoist's complexion is ruddy, and the sky is full, and he doesn't look like he has a fierce face, so don't worry about it. "
Seeing this, Chen Mo finally stopped being reluctant, but he still sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have the Xuantie Token of Hua Tianzong, otherwise I can give it to fellow Taoists.
Since fellow daoists are so indifferent to their ambitions, they can actually live with the secular world in mind, so they don’t have to worry about their own safety. "
Hearing this, Liang Sheng didn't know whether Chen Mo's words were unintentional. Seeing Liang Sheng's appearance, Chen Mo patted his head again.
"Look at me, and forget that you don't understand many things. This is no secret in Fangshi. Outside the dense fog in our Fangshi, there is actually a passage to enter the secular world.
The three sects and six sects all have this route, but the corresponding secularism is affiliated with Huatianzong, so only Huatianzong will go to the secularism every once in a while.
As for us casual cultivators, we can’t go there, we will get lost in the thick fog, and there should not be many people who are willing to go to the secular world.
It is rumored that hundreds of years ago, people from secular dynasties entered Huatianzong's shop with black iron tokens, and there are even rumors that people from secular dynasties decades ago were accepted as closed disciples by Huatianzong.
But thinking about it, this is just a joke. How could the secular royal family have such a blessing to cultivate immortality? So everyone didn't care about it.
But the secular world is filthy, and everyone wants to succeed in cultivating immortals, becoming immortals and becoming ancestors, so who would really want to die? "
Chen Mo suddenly became a little rambling, Liang Sheng also realized at this time, Chen Mo should be a little nervous because he wants to meet Qian Yongjian.
After all, he was missed by a cultivator who practiced eight levels of qi, how many people can not care about it, and maintain a normal mind as usual?
Fortunately, Chen Mo finally adjusted and regained his composure. Seeing Liang Sheng's resolute refusal, he simply stopped pushing and put the jade slip back into his cave.
However, after this incident, he felt more at ease with Chen Mo. This kind of heart and mind can indeed make friends deeply, and he will not cause trouble if he is afraid of trouble.
It's just that he can't be so free and easy, he still wants to fight for that first chance, and he will succeed in cultivating immortality.
Chen Mo left the cave to meet with Qian Yongjian. Liang Sheng didn't stay in the cave at this time either, he was going to continue to test for clues on the black market.
It's just that after so many days, he finally summed up the pattern of the appearance of the one-eyed dragon monk. It seems that every seven days, the one-eyed dragon monk will disappear for three days, and when he returns, there will be new things on his booth.
This seems to be the same as other casual cultivators, going out to find resources for cultivating immortals, but in fact this situation is a bit weird.
After all, which casual cultivator can guarantee that he will gain something every time he goes out?
Liang Sheng this time left a message outside the cave to prevent Chen Mo from coming to find him after nothing happened, and then he quietly left the cave. He has an attribute panel to hide, so naturally no one noticed that he had left the cave.
In fact, even Ding Yizhen couldn't monitor the whole city all the time, because Liang Sheng had already tested this situation.
Outside Fang City.
This is the first time that Liang Sheng has left the area of Fangshi. He hid in the mountains and forests to the east. This is the location where monk Cyclops leaves Fangshi every time.
With the bright moon in the sky, the one-eyed monk finally appeared in Liang Sheng's sight. The other party walked slowly all the way, looking left and right, cautiously.
He turned a few corners at this time, and finally went around a circle and returned to the same place. He even used a probe to check the surrounding situation.
Finally, after he finally confirmed that there was nothing abnormal behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Liang Sheng couldn't help sighing secretly, the other party was indeed a cautious person.
At this time, Cyclops took out a cloak from his backpack, which concealed his face and breath.
Then he speeded up, and even used a light body talisman, and the person disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Because Liang Sheng has an attribute panel, as long as he does not appear in front of the opponent, the opponent cannot find him.
So although monk Cyclops was careful, how could Liang Sheng, who was at the tenth level of aura, lose track of him?
After waiting for more than half an hour, monk Cyclops finally stopped, but in front of him was a cliff.
The next moment, the one-eyed monk didn't even stop. He moved forward without any hesitation, and then his whole body merged into the cliff.
This turned out to be an illusion!
Liang Sheng couldn't help being surprised when he saw this. Could it be that the master behind the black market is still a magician?
Because he saw the one-eyed dragon monk disappear in front of his eyes, he concentrated on carefully inspecting the cliff in front of him, and only then discovered the strangeness of the cliff in front of him.
If it weren't for this situation, Liang Sheng might really not be able to find the abnormality here under his usual carelessness.
Fortunately, this is not the method of a master foundation builder. Although the opponent's formation is brilliant, the aura of arranging the formation is still in the Qi training state.
Liang Sheng couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, but he didn't dare to act rashly. Facing the illusion formation, how could he act recklessly?
No wonder the one-eyed monk had put on a cloak to hide his breath before. Not surprisingly, this cloak may have also burned the formation.
It is indeed the black market behind Fangshi. If the people behind the scenes did not have such means, I am afraid that the black market would not have existed for so long without any major problems.
Liang Sheng still didn't act rashly at this time, quietly hiding around, and in the next three days, many cloaked people entered the cliff, Liang Sheng carefully counted the number of people who entered, and waited quietly.
Three days later.
There was a burst of ripples at the cliff illusion formation, and a cloaked man with a nine-level qi training appeared, and his cloak was completely different.
He stood aside motionless, and then every once in a while, a man in a cloak appeared, and the total number of people who came out was more than what Liang Sheng had counted before.
That is to say, before Brother Cyclops, there should have been people who entered the black market. This time, Liang Sheng had a little confidence in the investigation.
The cloaked monk who has just appeared at the ninth level of Qi training, judging from his behavior, seems to be guarding the order of the black market. When everyone leaves, he returns to the black market, and then there is no movement.
And Liang Sheng waited for another hour, and when there was no more movement on the cliff, he took a look at the cliff disguised by the illusion formation, and then suppressed his curiosity, and quietly returned to Fangshi again.
This black market seems to be more mysterious than I thought, and I don't know if it is dangerous to enter it rashly, so this matter seems to have to be discussed in the long run.
Liang Sheng was not in a hurry at this time, because time didn't matter, the most important thing was his own safety.
Loose cultivators have to fight for a chance, and they only need to wait for the opportunity.
Cultivating Immortals, don't worry yourself.
However, within a few days, Liang Sheng got a piece of news.
Chen Mo disappeared.
