"Senior, I'm so grateful."
Cen Ming walked halfway and suddenly saluted Li Mu, bent his knees and immediately knelt down.
Li Mu raised his hand, holding him up with his true energy, and said calmly, "This is your own choice, why do you need to thank me, haha."
Cen Ming said with gratitude, "Without my seniors, I might have been captured by the Zhang family and have to be their slave for the rest of my life."
"Didn't you do it before? It's just not the case now. I hope you are worthy of your choice." There was a bit of encouragement in Li Mu's eyes.
"Senior's words must be remembered by this junior." Cen Ming bowed.
Before they reached the door of Renxintang, the shopkeeper and several waiters came out to welcome them, bowing their heads respectfully and saying, "Welcome, senior."
Li Mu shook his head, "Don't bother, I will take care of it myself."
The shopkeeper repeatedly said yes and bowed to invite Li Mu into the hall. Cen Ming and Cen Ming also changed from waiters to honored guests, and were served respectfully.
Compared to Guiyi Pavilion, the goods here are very messy. In the huge hall, there are hundreds of shelves, stacked on top of each other, in a messy manner. On the shelves, many jade bottles are placed in a prepared formation, waiting for a price.
Li Mu walked slowly among the shelves, letting go of his consciousness and exploring them one by one.
After walking around, he felt quite disappointed. Although the elixirs here were of good quality, they were basically third- and fourth-level pills, with none of them being fifth-order.
"Sir, are all the elixirs here?"
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, "They are all here. Senior, if you have any that you like, the store can give you some for free."
Li Mu shook his head and smiled, "Are there any elixirs for sale?"
The shopkeeper was stunned. Said continuously. "This is really not possible. Our store is only a small profit, but the prescriptions cannot be sold. This is the rule of our industry, and it cannot be violated. If seniors must have needs, they can go to Guiyi Pavilion or Qingxinlou."
Some cold sweat broke out on his face, fearing that Li Mu would rely on his cultivation to forcefully buy the elixir.
For a small shop like theirs, Danfang is the basis of maintenance and must not be leaked. Not even death.
Li Mu saw his panic and comforted him slowly, "Don't worry, shopkeeper. I don't need the elixirs here. I want to ask, do you have any elixirs that can't be refined?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and let out a sigh of relief, "Senior is joking. How can a small store like ours have such a prescription?"
Li Mu nodded. "Sorry for bothering you."
He took Cen Ming out of Renxintang and walked into Fangshi.
We passed many stalls and shops along the way. Regardless of whether it is a magic weapon shop or a talisman shop, Xu Mu will use his spiritual consciousness to carefully detect them, but most of them are disappointed.
Treasure, it’s not that easy to pick up.
After walking out of another shop, Cen Ming looked at Li Mu and whispered, "Senior, are you looking for a fifth-level elixir?"
Li Mu was slightly surprised, "Yes, how do you know? I seem to have looked at every store carefully, right?"
He had already deployed spiritual defenses around him, so it was impossible for the Pulse Condensing Realm cultivators to detect their conversation.
Cen Ming said hesitantly, "I see that when senior is looking for magic weapons or jade slips, his expression is casual, as if he has no fixed purpose. It is different when he is looking for elixirs. His expression is focused, and senior is a cultivator of the Golden Core Realm. The elixirs below the level are ineffective, and I am afraid that only the fifth level can meet the requirements. But I can’t understand, wouldn’t it be better to go to Guiyi Pavilion Qianxin Tower for this kind of elixir?”
"You are very thoughtful."
Li Mu couldn't help but praise, "I am indeed looking for a fifth-level elixir. Since you guessed it, I don't have to hide it from you. If you have any good places to recommend, just tell me."
Cen Ming said solemnly, "Senior, don't worry. Since senior doesn't want others to know, junior will never tell anyone."
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction.
Cen Ming thought for a while, "There are countless people searching for treasures here every day. If the things that seniors need are on the open shop stalls, they will be found and bought soon. To find it, it seems that the only way to find it is to try it in a dark store. Yes. There are two black shops in Fang City, and I know one of them. Senior, would you like to go?"
"Black shop?"
"Senior, this is no longer the kind of black shop that robs people."
Cen Ming explained, "It is a hidden shop that few people know about. It specializes in buying and selling goods with unknown origins, such as treasures obtained from murders and thefts. Many treasures are obtained from sects or special secret realms." Come on, it is easy to cause trouble by setting up shop, and even be pursued by the sects, so we go to such shops to take action. These shops are also called black shops by cultivators, and the prices are really dark and very expensive."
Li Mu pondered for a while, "Okay, just take me to the black shop."
Cen Ming nodded and led Xu Mu into the crowd.
After twists and turns, he passed through an unknown number of streets, passed through the back doors of many shops, and finally stopped in an alley.
The alley is deep and strange. Even in the daytime, it is so dark that it is impossible to see. It is obviously because of the many formations arranged.
"Uncle Yu, Uncle Yu!"
Cen Ming called softly twice.
With a creak, a door suddenly opened on the wall of the alley. A stooped old man slowly appeared, holding a lantern.
The old man glanced at Cen Ming, and then his eyes fell on Li Mu. A flash of light flashed across his eyes, showing some surprise.
"Uncle Yu, I'm bringing guests to see things."
Cen Ming shouted repeatedly.
"Come in, you're lucky to find such a customer, Xiao Cen." Yu Bo turned around and staggered deeper into the alley.
The lanterns flickered on and off, and along with the sound of footsteps, the atmosphere became even more eerie.
"Senior, that's enough. Let's follow." Cen Ming, with a bit of joy, trotted over and followed Yu Bo.
Li Mu didn't move. Like Yu Bo, he also had a lot of surprise in his eyes.
This inconspicuous old man, Uncle Yu, turned out to be a cultivator in the Golden Core Realm, and his cultivation level was obviously still higher than that of Li Mu!
It is true that it is hidden in the city.
"With such strength, no wonder you can open a black shop in a place like this. It's interesting and worth visiting." Li Mu smiled and walked in with an indifferent expression.
The alley looked only a few dozen meters long, but it took a full half-quarter of an hour to reach the end.
In front of him was a stone wall that looked extremely thick, but Yu Bo walked in without stopping, and his body actually passed through the stone wall, as if he was stuck in it, which was very strange. Cen Ming had obviously seen a lot, so he followed in without caring.
Li Mu stayed by the wall, looking slightly puzzled. With Chao Yazhu around, he knew clearly that this effect was not caused by an illusion.
"Come in." Yu Bo's voice sounded from behind the wall.
"coming."
Li Mu smiled and took a step forward. He soon understood.
The parts of this stone wall that come into contact with the body instantly soften and evaporate, turning into smoke-like gas that can be passed freely.
"It's a gadget, made out of boredom. It only blocks people's ears and eyes, but it makes fellow Taoists laugh."
Li Mu shook his head and smiled, "It's amazing. I guess it won't change even if fellow Taoists don't let it change, right? This wall is enough to be considered an excellent magic weapon."
"Haha, fellow Taoist came to my shop, what are you looking for?"
Yu Bo smiled brightly, showing his white teeth, which stood out in the dark night.
