"What do you have for sale here?"

The second Ji Mian asked the question, he felt a chill in his heart.

The way this shop appeared was so mysterious. The two people in front of them seemed harmless, but who knew what they really looked like.

He had trusted the mysterious two people so easily!

Ji Mian frowned and silently used his magic power, his eyes wandering around.

Although Zhuo Li didn't understand what was going on, he became wary when he saw his friend's expression.

"Don't be so nervous. We are a conscientious shop and we won't do anything to our customers."

Lin Yuan smiled gently, tapped his fingers on the counter, and two cups of tea slowly floated in front of Ji Mian and Zhuo Li.

"This is the House of Fate, you can buy everything you want." Lina said softly.

Her soft voice was like a clear spring, washing away the uneasiness in Ji Mian and Zhuo Li's hearts.

"Sorry." Ji Mian caught the tea cup, took a sip, secretly said it was a good tea, and said, "Do you really sell everything here?"

"Kung Fu, secret books, elixirs, blood, or life span, wisdom, companions... We sell everything you can imagine. Of course, we will also charge a corresponding price." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

This is the spiritual world. He has the authority of the spiritual world and is close to the creation god here. Naturally, he has the confidence to speak like this.

"Forget about martial arts and elixirs, how can something as ethereal as wisdom be bought and sold?" Zhuo Li said doubtfully.

Lin Yuan shook his head, took out a glass bottle and placed it on the counter. A neat chip was suspended in the glass bottle.

"Treading on the Stars"

"This is an auxiliary brain chip derived from a certain technological civilization. It can be completely integrated with your brain. It will improve the quality of your brain cells in all aspects, help you learn knowledge quickly and improve your wisdom."

"Of course, customers can also choose more high-end products and get it right in one step. However, that is not what you can afford now."

Zhuo Li looked at the sci-fi chip surrounded by electric light and couldn't help but swallowed. This shop seemed to be playing tricks on him.

"What price do we need to pay to buy the goods?" Ji Mian asked solemnly.

He doesn't believe that pie will fall from the sky. There must be gains and losses, and such a magical product must have an unusual price.

This child of fortune is a pragmatic person.

Lin Yuan looked at Ji Mian with admiration and said:

"Lifespan, cultivation, emotions, etc. Guest, you can use everything on your body to pay the price. So guest, what do you need to buy and what are you willing to pay?"

Lin Yuan's words were like the whispers of a devil. Ji Mian took a deep breath and said, "Two of our companions were captured by the mushroom people here. What is the price to pay for rescuing them?"

"It's very simple." Lin Yuan waved his hand, and a black scale the size of a car appeared in front of the two of them.

A white light group appeared at the left end of the scale, and suddenly the entire scale tilted severely.

"On the left is the product you want, and on the right is the price you are willing to pay. When the balance is balanced, it means the transaction can be completed. Once the transaction is confirmed, your two companions will appear in front of you immediately."

"I see."

Ji Mian walked to the right end of the scale and meditated on his cultivation.

On the 1st, 2nd, and 4th level of Qi training, the yellow light group on the tray changed from the size of a grain of rice to the size of an egg, but the balance did not change.

Ji Mian gritted his teeth and silently thought about his life span.

10 years, 20 years... When Ji Mian added the weight of life span to 80 years, the balance finally slowly returned to balance.

"Guest, are you sure about the deal?" Lin Yuan asked.

"No. Please let us think."

Ji Mian took a step back, the weight on the tray returned to his body, and his aging face became young again.

"Ji Mian, this store is too evil. Besides, who knows if they will honor the deal." Zhuo Li walked to Ji Mian and said fearfully.

"Sigh, it's hard for us to have such a good opportunity again. Zhuo Li, Daoist Master Lu and the others have been trapped for almost three days, and the situation is very dangerous." Ji Mian sighed.

"But even if we share it, each of us will lose half of our cultivation and 40 years of life, which is tantamount to destroying our future! I'm not saying we won't save them, we can think of a better way." Zhuo Li persuaded.

Ji Mian glanced at his friend. What he said was ugly, but very realistic. Isn't the reason why they abandoned everything and came to this strange world just to pursue the ethereal immortality?

If they were more selfish, they wouldn't even have to save Lu Qing and Xie Changhui. They would use their few chips to buy other things in this store. I believe they would be able to make great progress in their cultivation.

Ji Mian suppressed the terrible thoughts in his heart, and after pondering for a few minutes, he walked back to the balance.

This time, the white light group at the left end of the scale suddenly shrunk by a large circle, and Ji Mian's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, his idea was feasible. The cost of directly rescuing a friend is too high, but if the store manager is invited to help and assist in the rescue, the cost is much less.

Ji Mian walked to Zhuo Li, and the two discussed each other for a while, and jointly put their own chips on the scale, each with a life span of 30 years.

"Guest, are you sure about the deal?" Lin Yuan asked again.

"Yes, we are sure." Ji Mian and Zhuo Li said at the same time.

Two light balls flew out from their foreheads and flew lightly towards the counter. Lina picked up a glass bottle, reached out and grabbed it, and stuffed the two light balls into it.

Be careful, hey, that's a 60-year lifespan!

Zhuo Li felt weak and stared at the glass bottle in the girl's hand. He knew that his life was irrevocably lost. This is the instinctive feeling of the body. The feeling of powerlessness coming from every cell is enough to be unforgettable.

"The deal is completed. Then, I will fulfill my agreement and assist you in rescuing your companions on your way forward," Lin Yuan said.

"Then, I'll leave it to the shopkeeper." Ji Mian said weakly.

The surrounding area gradually fell into darkness, and when it lit up again, Ji Mian found that they had returned to the previous passage.

The blue-purple fluorescence from the glowing mushrooms illuminated the rough cave walls, and the mushroom people disappeared. Ji Mian turned around and saw his confused friend and Lin Yuan behind him.

"Go forward, I will point out the dangers on the road for you." Lin Yuan said.

Ji Mian nodded and set off with Zhuo Li again.

After passing through the long passage, another hole appeared in front of everyone.

"Those damn mushroom spores again." Zhuo Li said angrily as he looked at the mushrooms on the roof of the cave.

"These are soul-seeking mushrooms, which always grow in places with strong spiritual power. They will sense the passing spiritual creatures and release spores. When you are contaminated by the spores, a special spiritual power wave will be stimulated. That’s why the mushroom people found you.”

Lin Yuan walked up to the two of them, pointed at the mushroom and explained. He stamped his left foot on the ground, and a cluster of crystals broke through the soil and grew out.

It continued to expand and deform, forming a transparent spherical crystal cover that enveloped the three of them.

"Look what I'm doing, step on it." Lin Yuan stretched out a leg, stepped on the wall of the crystal ball in front of him, and said to the two of them.

"ah?"

Ji Mian and Zhuo Li originally thought that this mysterious shopkeeper would use some magical power to eliminate spores, but they didn't expect that he would be so simple and unpretentious.

The three of them moved their legs, and the crystal ball rolled all the way through the hole. A large number of spores fell and were all contaminated on the crystal ball, without causing any fluctuations.

"It's really good." Zhuo Li opened his mouth wide and looked back at the empty space with mixed emotions.

The three of them continued to move forward, encountering various unexpected situations and strange creatures along the way.

There are giant earthworms with sharp-toothed heads at both ends, which can kill a mushroom man in one bite. There are also death mire that looks like flat ground but is actually more than 80 meters deep. There is also a nail-sized earthworm that lies on the wall of the cave inconspicuously. In fact, it can Poison to death the rot beetles in the Qi refining stage.

While Lin Yuan helped them overcome the dangers, he also gave a detailed introduction to these dangers. This was an eye-opener for Ji Mian and Zhuo Li, and they also lamented that these 30 years of life were well spent! Otherwise, they have to rely on themselves. I'm afraid even three more lives won't be enough.

A few hours later, tired and cold, Ji Mian and Zhuo Li finally arrived at the end of the passage, a huge underground cave!

Colorful moss clings to the cave walls, dispelling the darkness. Mushrooms of various shapes and colors stand on the ground, forming a huge mushroom forest.

Everyone looked down from the passage on the cliff.

I saw mushroom men walking slowly in the middle of the mushroom forest, carrying earthworms, frogs, big birds and other prey from time to time, and throwing them into a large pit on the ground.

"Is this the Mushroom Kingdom? What are they doing?" Zhuo Li stared in disbelief.

"Daozhang Lu and the others must be in that big pit! Let's go and rescue them quickly!"

After experiencing so much suffering, the goal was right in front of him. Even Ji Mian could not restrain his excitement, and his blood boiled all over.

Lin Yuan watched the two people gearing up to slide down the cliff, and couldn't help but have a weird look on his face:

"I said, you two are not just going to rush over like this, are you? Then I think you two are indispensable in the pit."

Ji Mian and Zhuo Li retracted their steps in embarrassment. During this time together, they had been completely impressed by this mysterious store manager Lin.

"Manager Lin, what should we do?" Ji Mian humbly asked.

"We have concentrated our mana, and we have a barrier to protect the spores. These mushroom people can't find us at all." Zhuo Li said uncertainly.

"Since this is the base camp of the mushroom people, how come there are only mushroom people? Look over there." Lin Yuan pointed at the mushroom forest and said.

The two of them looked along and saw fluffy hydrangeas fluttering slightly among the colorful mushrooms. They were very beautiful under the fluorescence.

"There's nothing to worry about, it's just some huge flowers... Damn it!" Zhuo Li's heart trembled mid-sentence.

He finally discovered the incongruity. There is no wind in the mushroom forest, and those hydrangeas as big as houses are squirming on their own!

"They are hydrangea, the guardians of the mushroom forest. They have the strength of the middle and late stages of Qi refining. If idiots like you just rush in, the only outcome will be to be swallowed and absorbed by them."

"But you don't have to worry. After all, you paid the money, and I, the store manager, will naturally not put you in danger. Just eat it."

Lin Yuan said with a smile, took out two pills and threw them to the two of them.

Half an hour later, two strange mushroom men appeared in the mushroom forest.

They moved forward crookedly, falling all the way and knocking down many mushroom people.

"Manager Lin, we have paid after all, don't we have better pills for leather sheaths?"

Zhuo Li felt like he was soaked in glue. Not only was his movement sluggish, but it was also extremely difficult to maintain stability. He would fall twice every time he took a step. The only advantage is probably that the field of vision is not affected by the mushroom holster.

"Some of them are very useful. What kind of bicycle do you want? Look at Ji Mian, he has no complaints and even falls further than you." Lin Yuan said angrily.

Then you should also get a leather holster, your cultivation level is amazing.

Zhuo Li glanced at the handsome and handsome Lin Yuan who was strolling aside, but he didn't dare to say what was in his heart.

He was afraid that he would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Ahead, Ji Mian fell and rolled further and further. The corner of Zhuo Li's mouth twitched: "You Ji Mian, you are so good at rolling. You rolled me to death!"

With a sigh, he also rolled up.

The mushroom people along the way sensed the physical signs of the two people and found that they were of the same race, so they ignored their strange movements.

The two rolled over mushrooms, climbed over slopes, and finally arrived at the edge of a large pit in the middle of the forest.

"Taoist Master Lu?"

"Thank you, uncle?"

Ji Mian and Zhuo Li stood by the pit, unable to believe their eyes.

The companion they were thinking of rescuing was sitting in the palace at the bottom of the pit, surrounded by fruits and food. Their faces were extremely rosy, and they did not look like they were in deep crisis.

In comparison, covered in mud and grassroots, they looked like two clowns.

"Manager Lin, is it still too late for me to return the goods?" Zhuo Li looked back at Lin Yuan and said.

"You're thinking about eating peaches." Lin Yuan struck mercilessly.

Zhuo Li's transformed mushroom immediately softened.

"Let's go down and see what's going on. This mushroom man surrounded us before, and it doesn't look like a friendly invitation." Ji Mian said.

The depth of the pit is more than 30 meters, and there are several obscure slopes on the edge.

Fortunately, the leather cases provided by Lin Yuan did not cut corners, and Ji Mian and Zhuo Li could secrete mucus like normal mushroom men and slide down the slope slowly.

When they arrived at the bottom of the pit, the two of them discovered what the dropped prey was used for.

They were piled up haphazardly, with countless mushrooms growing on them, greedily absorbing nutrients. After enough nutrition, these mushrooms grew arms and legs and became new mushroom people.

The palace at the bottom of the pit is not luxurious, just a simple earthen platform. The pillars are characteristic mushroom pillars.

Lu Qing and Xie Changhui sat on seats made of biological bones, and their cultivation levels had improved by one level.

"Huh? It's not the time for sacrifice yet." Lu Qing looked at the mushroom man climbing up the palace and asked in confusion.

"Maybe he got lost?" Xie Changhui said.

"Daozhang Lu, Uncle Xie, it's us! Ji Mian and Zhuo Li!"

The two took off their mushroom leather jackets and were very excited.

"Ji Mian! Zhuo Li! How did you get here?" Lu Qing asked in surprise.

He was brought to the underground kingdom by the mushroom people, but he clearly knew how dangerous it was along the way. Let alone the 4th level of Qi Refining, even if he has reached the 6th level of Qi Refining, he still has no confidence in trying it again.

"Hello, I am Lin, the manager of Yuanzhiwu. Your companions made a deal with me. Now it seems that you are doing well." Lin Yuan slowly appeared and said.

The image of the Patriarch of Immortality was another boy he had fabricated, so Lu Qing did not recognize Lin Yuan's vest.

Lu Qing and Xie Changhui looked at Lin Yuan solemnly. Based on their cultivation, they could not tell any details about store manager Lin.

Sensing that the atmosphere had become heavy, Ji Mian quickly stood up and gave an overview of the previous situation, which made the two of them sigh.

"This world is too mysterious." Lu Qing shook his head and sighed.

"Daozhang Lu, what's going on with you?" Ji Mian asked curiously.

"Let's let Fellow Daoist Xie talk about this."

Lu Qing stepped aside and Xie Changhui came in front of everyone.

After his narration, everyone understood. It turns out that after being kidnapped to the underground kingdom, the mushroom man discovered the specialness of the two people's magic powers.

Especially the modified Changchun Sutra practiced by Xie Changhui himself, its effect is simply a ripening tool for mushroom people. The mushroom man that originally took one year to mature was shortened to one month.

After discovering the usefulness of the two of them, Lu Qing and Xie Changhui immediately transformed from prey to kings, with any cultivation resources at their disposal. The king who was responsible for secreting ripening mucus was immediately removed from the stage.

And mushroom people are not as stupid as imagined, they can also communicate through spirit. Lu Qing even taught them some human languages.

"With such good conditions, I want to stay." Zhuo Li whispered.

But he knew that Ji Mian would not be able to stay. Ji Mian had always been a person who looked up to the sky.

"Then, Taoist Lu and Uncle Xie, are you going back? With the help of Manager Lin, the mushroom people can't stop us." Ji Mian asked.

Lu Qing looked at the spiritual fruits around him, took a long breath, and his eyes became firm: "The stairs of the Patriarch of Immortality lead to this world. As the master of the Immortality Temple, how can I not follow in the footsteps of the Patriarch? I Choose to leave.”

Everyone looked at Xie Changhui again, with a very troubled look on his face.

After Lu Qing leaves, he will be the true king of the Mushroom Kingdom, and he will decide everything here! But the world on the ground is also extremely beautiful!

A few minutes later, Xie Changhui sat heavily on the throne of the palace: "I am just a casual cultivator, and I am very satisfied with the adventure I have now. Everyone, let's say goodbye here."

The three of them looked at Xie Changhui in silence. Although everyone knew that there is no banquet in the world, they still felt sad when parting came.

In the end, several people handed over to each other, said "take care" to each other, and set off towards the ground under the leadership of Lin Yuan.

"There is no one who is not lonely when cultivating immortality."

In the fluorescent underground kingdom, Xie Changhui sat alone on the Bone Throne, staring blankly at the empty seat next to him, muttering to himself in a low voice, as if to strengthen his determination.
