Qi Mingchen left the chamber of commerce with satisfaction wearing the mask given to him by the third steward.
This is a faceless mask with a dark and smooth surface. It is also made of a special material. Wearing the mask can see the outside world without any obstruction, but others can only see the mask on his face.
And this mask is not an arithmetic machine. It is just made of a special material and was placed on the second floor. It has been there for a long time without being sold.
When the third steward saw that he liked it, he decided to give it to him directly.
Qi Mingchen, who could be considered penniless, did not refuse. This mask was very useful for him who needed to hide his identity. The shabby black robe and faceless mask gave people a mysterious feeling at first glance.
Because the auction would start tomorrow morning, he was not in a hurry to go back, but planned to stay nearby for one night.
Spiritual cultivation avenue is a very special place. All the streets where monks trade in the world are called spiritual cultivation avenue. There are also some casual cultivators living in it. There are also two or three idle forces and monk families, and the third-class forces Canglong Paibina It's completely incomparable.
Few of these forces have reached the Core Formation Stage, and most are in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Their ability to survive here depends on how much value they can provide to the Canglong Sect.
It is said that brother Liu Minghua comes from a monk family. In addition to the spiritual stones provided by the sect, he also has many assets provided by the family.
While Qi Mingchen was wandering around, a figure suddenly pounced on him. There were still hidden wounds on his body due to the need to repair the high-level elixir.
This pounce almost pushed him to stagger.
"I'm sorry, sorry!" A dirty child apologized quickly. After apologizing, he turned around and ran away before he could reply.
Qi Mingchen stretched out his hand to grab the child's collar, and said coldly: "Take it out on your own initiative, or I'll search it myself."
Facing the dark mask, the child trembled with fear, "Sir...sir, I don't know what you are talking about!"
"Really?" He didn't talk nonsense. He found his own cloth bag from the child's sleeve. Just as he was about to take it back, the child grabbed him tightly.
The child said with tears in his eyes: "Sir, please, my mother needs treatment, please help me!"
Qi Mingchen smiled, put the person down and said, "Can I help you? Of course."
The child showed a surprised expression, "Thank you..."
Just as he was about to thank her, he was interrupted, "Since you want me to help you, of course you can, but she is your mother but not mine. I have no reason to help, right?"
"Adult..." The child was about to cry again.
"I need you to pay some price. Since you want to save your mother so much, it doesn't matter if you pay some price!"
"What price do you want?"
Qi Mingchen showed a smile that no one could see, stretched out a finger, pointed to the alley aside, and said: "It's very simple, you kneel there, fan yourself a hundred times, and then I can save you." Mother, how is it?"
The child was stunned. She had no idea that someone could do this to the poor child.
"What's the matter? Don't you really want to save your mother? You can't even do this."
"..." The child struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and ran to the side of the alley, knelt down, and fanned himself.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Perhaps because he was afraid that he would be dissatisfied, the sound of the slap was not soft, but sounded very crisp.
Qi Mingchen stood aside, folding his arms and watching silently as she fanned herself.
"stop!"
The child had slapped himself less than twenty times when a sharp female voice came from behind. Then the person quickly ran to Qi Mingchen and grabbed the child's hand to prevent her from hurting herself further.
The person who came had a high ponytail and was dressed in a smart outfit. She looked very neat. She looked like a big sister, mature and full of momentum.
She said angrily to Qi Mingchen: "What are you doing to a poor child!"
"I'm just conducting a consensual transaction." He replied calmly, showing no unnecessary emotion towards the unexpected person.
"Deal? What I saw was you forcing a kid to hurt himself!"
Qi Mingchen stood aside and said nothing, and the woman kept accusing him, "You have done such an outrageous thing. If you don't compensate this child, I will never let you go!"
She talked for a long time, until her mouth went dry, and she didn't react. The person being accused stood quietly aside without giving any reaction.
"Why are not you talking?"
"You want me to talk?" He seemed to have a smile in his words, and then he stepped forward and approached the woman, gradually getting closer to her.
The woman was panicked by the sudden approach, and her cheeks instantly turned red.
"You...what do you do?"
"Snapped!"
Her answer was a merciless slap.
When the other party was shocked, Qi Mingchen shook his wrist and said: "If you want to help this child, then it would be best to slap her on her behalf!"
"Mother!"
The child yelled and rushed towards him, punching and kicking him, "Don't hit my mother!"
"Haha." Qi Mingchen laughed and picked up the child, "It is indeed a gang. There are probably people lying in ambush nearby. Let me think about it...is it targeting the casual cultivators who left the Star Chamber of Commerce?"
He looked around and said, "As expected, there are people in the alchemy stage among them who are waiting to take action, just waiting to lead me to a place with few people."
The woman covered her face and before she could get angry, she was shocked by this series of words, "How did you know..."
However, he doesn't know what the highest level of strength is, so he can't fall into the trap at will.
At least he knew that this woman's strength must not have reached the core formation stage, and she could only build up to eight levels of foundation.
Anyway, this spiritual avenue, this gang will not take action in the street, the Canglong faction is not a vegetarian.
He sneered, raised his hand and slapped the woman again, threw the child aside, turned and left.
Walked into a very shabby and remote tavern.
After this period of investigation, it was found that this tavern was the only place on the entire Spiritual Avenue where gold and silver money could be used.
He placed a piece of broken silver on the table, took out the wine gourd, and said, "Fill it with wine!"
The boss neatly packed the wine and handed it to Qi Mingchen.
He took it, smelled it, frowned and said, "Boss, why does this wine taste wrong?"
"This wine is home-brewed, so why does it taste weird?"
The boss smiled, but his eyes seemed a little unkind.
"Crash!"
Qi Mingchen understood something and in front of the boss, he turned the wine gourd upside down and the wine inside spilled all over the floor.
"you!"
The boss tensed up, his eyes filled with anger!
"I didn't expect that I could meet your group twice at once. I'm pretty lucky."
It's just that in other people's territory, there is probably no way to avoid fighting.
"A place like this is indeed worthy of your worth!"
His spiritual power circulated throughout his body and he took the lead!
