"I heard that in addition to various commodities, your Treasure Pavilion can also buy and sell news?"
After deducting 10,000 medium-grade spiritual stones, Gu Qingcheng was still in no hurry to settle the general ledger.
Her golden-brown pupils were shining brightly, and she asked curiously: "Is it okay to hunt for people and treasures?"
"sure!"
"As long as this person and this thing are still in Wuzhou Continent, we at Zhenbao Pavilion will have a way to find them or find out their whereabouts."
The shopkeeper said confidently.
Gu Qingcheng raised his head and glanced at Pei Yan, who looked doting on her and let her make the decision.
When Gu Qingcheng saw this, he did not discuss it any further, but directly expressed his request according to his own ideas:
"Okay, then I want to know where Lingxiao Sect Lu Ming is!"
"Lingxiao Sect Lu Ming?"
The shopkeeper's expression was slightly subtle.
Gu Qingcheng & Pei Yan: ...Oh, there's something going on!
The complexity in the shopkeeper's eyes flashed across his face, and he soon returned to his shrewd businessmanlike demeanor.
He stretched out a finger and said, "One thousand middle-grade spiritual stones!"
"The spiritual stone doesn't matter, what matters is whether the news you told me is worth the price!"
Gu Qingcheng continues to maintain her character setting of a "pet-loving and arrogant" little cat.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist! Our Zhenbaoge products are genuine and genuine!"
The shopkeeper is still confident.
If they dare to raise a price, it means that the product (news) is worth the money.
"That's good!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded, agreeing to the price.
This is not a place for "secret conversations", so the shopkeeper led one person and one cat up to the third floor.
Arriving at a relatively private room, the shopkeeper set up a barrier after entering, and then invited Pei Yan and Gu Qingcheng to take a seat.
After the two of them sat down, the shopkeeper started to get straight to the point:
"The two fellow Taoists must also want to search for the whereabouts of Demon Lu Ming."
Devil?
A shocking statement!
Gu Qingcheng and Pei Yan were both shocked.
Gu Qingcheng raised his little head, while Pei Yan lowered his head. Their eyes met in mid-air——
Gu Qingcheng: ...It seems that in the past three hundred years, we have been busy training in the outer sea monster realm, and your brother Lu's life is also very "exciting".
Pei Yan: ...Indeed!
Three hundred years ago, Lu Ming was still a direct disciple of the famous Lingxiao Sect of the Nth generation of Immortals.
Three hundred years later, he transformed into a "devil".
Is he possessed?
Or is there another origin?
"Things must start two hundred years ago..."
The shopkeeper received the spirit stone and worked extra hard.
He recounted Lu Ming's experience: "Lu Ming raised a demon cat——"
When he said this, the shopkeeper paused subconsciously and glanced at Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng: ...oh, is it related to the heroine?
Gu Qingcheng soon realized that, yes, the heroine looked like a white cat, but she was actually the ancient mythical white tiger.
A nice silver gradient.
Such an auspicious beast can be said to be a peerless treasure.
The crime of holding a jade is especially obvious in the world of immortality.
Has the heroine’s identity been revealed?
Lu Ming was framed because he was pregnant with an exotic treasure?
Or, because the heroine was hurt, he was so angry that he directly fell into the devil's path?
Gu Qingcheng's kitten's head was filled with all kinds of nonsense about cultivating immortals, and his golden brown eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Lu Ming's half-brother Lu Li discovered that there was something abnormal about the white cat, and designed an experience to try to force the cat demon to reveal its true form."
"In the formation, the cat demon's bloodline was awakened, and it turned out to be the only remaining ancient mythical beast in the world, the white tiger."
"What's even more unexpected is that Lu Ming
He actually sacrificed his life to break the formation in an attempt to save his demon pet. "
"...Sigh, Lu Ming was trapped in a chain of formations and almost lost his soul. At the critical moment, Bai Hu broke through the confinement and tried his best to save the savior."
"And Lu Ming probably tried his best to break through regardless, but in the end, he accidentally awakened the demonic species in his body——"
When the shopkeeper talked about this big news in the world of immortality, his tone was quite emotional.
Perhaps in his opinion, although Lu Ming is a devil, he is also a temperamental person.
He will awaken demon seeds and fall into the devil's path, mainly to save people.
And his demon pet lived up to his deep friendship and risked his life to save him.
One person and one beast will never be at odds with each other.
"Demon seed? Isn't Lu Ming a descendant of the Lu family in Xihai? How could he have a demon seed?"
Gu Qingcheng turned into a qualified audience. Hearing the wonderful passages, he subconsciously asked.
"Lu Ming is indeed the young master of the Xihai Lu family, but the ancestor of the Xihai Lu family was once the disciple of Demon Lord Mo Yuan——"
The shopkeeper is indeed a qualified businessman. After receiving the spirit stone, he will do his best to answer customers' questions.
In order to satisfy customers, he did not hesitate to talk about the past thousands of years ago.
"Demon Lord Mo Yuan was originally an immortal king, but he became a demon because of greed."
"When Demon Lord Mo Yuan was still an Immortal Lord, he had three direct disciples, and the ancestor of the Xihai Lu family was one of them."
"The world doesn't know if there is a contract between them, but the demon seed in Lu Ming's body does come from Demon Lord Mo Yuan."
"It's just that this demon seed has been sealed. Logically speaking, Lu Ming should not be possessed by the demon."
"... After Lu Ming became a demon, the Yaoguang Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect had some speculations. He suspected that Demon Lord Mo Yuan must have a secret hand and set up a certain formation. Once triggered, the demon species would be resurrected. .”
The shopkeeper explained slowly.
Gu Qingcheng's heart was already filled with turmoil——
Demon Lord Mo Yuan?
Such a familiar name.
When Gu Qingcheng first came here, he witnessed a battle between immortals and demons.
Above the clouds, nine immortal kings fight against the demon king wearing black armor.
And that demon king seems to be called "Mo Yuan".
There are also many undead souls that Gu Qingcheng saved on the battlefield of immortals and demons after the war, including immortals and demons.
However, except for a slightly "weird" white shadow, Gu Qingcheng did not find any remaining souls related to Demon Lord Mo Yuan.
Of course, it is possible that Demon Lord Mo Yuan was sealed. He did not die, but just lost his freedom.
However, Gu Qingcheng always felt that something was not right.
Demon Lord Mo Yuan is a demon, and demons are cunning, so he will definitely leave a backup plan for himself!
Demonic species!
It was the back-up he left for himself.
The demon seed in Lu Ming's body should be a move laid by Demon Lord Mo Yuan.
As for the resurrection of the demon species mentioned by the shopkeeper——
Gu Qingcheng felt slightly guilty, but she had not forgotten that she once entered a cave in order to get the "revenge" promised by the senior in white.
Perhaps, the demon species was awakened the moment Gu Qingcheng took away the pile of spirit stones.
And Lu Ming's destiny of becoming a demon has also begun!
"...Well, this should be destiny. Even if I weren't there, someone else would accidentally enter the cave and accidentally trigger the formation."
"What's more, the awakening of the demonic species in Lu Ming's body has nothing to do with the shadow in white."
All of this is just Gu Qingcheng's random thoughts.
After all, until now, Gu Qingcheng didn't know whether the white shadow was a fairy or a demon.
Gu Qingcheng tried her best to comfort herself, but there was still a lingering guilt in her heart.
Pei Yan had been paying close attention to his Aqing's every move, every frown, and every smile. When he saw a slight dodge in her beautiful cat eyes, he knew that Lu Ming's matter might have something to do with her.
so what?
Even if A Qing made a mistake, it was unintentional.
Not to mention, it’s not necessarily wrong!
Everything in the world of immortality has a certain cause and effect.
Maybe this is the will of heaven itself, and Aqing is just "following the trend."
Pei Yan is definitely an eccentric person who helps his relatives but not others. He will subconsciously defend his Aqing.
"No one in the world knows how Lu Ming awakened the demon species, but it is a fact that everyone knows that he became a demon."
"The battle between immortals and demons more than two thousand years ago was so tragic. The nine immortal sects suffered heavy losses. Their teachers and fellow sects all fell. The surviving immortal sect masters will not allow another demon to appear in Wuzhou Continent!"
The shopkeeper didn't know what Gu Qingcheng and Pei Yan were thinking. He continued to tell the story:
"Lu Ming has become a demon and is not tolerated by the nine immortal sects in the Five Continents."
"Lu Ming was besieged by the nine immortal sects, and Xihai City was also overthrown."
"Lu Ming was seriously injured. At a critical moment, he was rescued by his demon pet, the ancient mythical beast, the white tiger."
"Since then, Lu Ming's whereabouts are unknown!"
"Some people say that Lu Ming went to the demon world and really became a demon king."
"Some people also say that Lu Ming was hidden by the Yaoguang Ancestor of the Lingxiao Sect and hid in a corner to retreat and recuperate."
"Some people say——"
The shopkeeper was nagging and recounted all the rumors about Lu Ming in the world.
Gu Qingcheng raised his eyebrows, "It's just rumors? Your Zhenbao Pavilion shouldn't follow what others say."
The shopkeeper was not angry after hearing Gu Qingcheng's slightly provocative words.
He slightly raised the corners of his lips, "Of course not!"
He was full of arrogance, "Our Treasure Pavilion is spread across the five continents, so we are naturally well-informed."
"Those rumors in the market, Zhenbao Pavilion will eliminate the false and keep the true, and follow the clues..."
After some investigation, Zhenbao Pavilion actually found some traces of Lu Ming.
"The battlefield of immortals and demons!"
The shopkeeper raised his head and looked at the little cat intently, "Jinbao Pavilion heard the news that someone once saw a man and a cat in the fairy city near the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons——"
"One person and one cat? Haha, one person and one cat means that it is Lu Ming? Doesn't it match the situation for me and little Pei Yan?"
However, Gu Qingcheng laughed twice and immediately made trouble.
Shopkeeper:...
The shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion, who had always been confident and eloquent, was choked by Gu Qingcheng and was speechless.
Uh, okay, Gu Qingcheng was right, their pair of main pets were really a bit like the devil Lu Ming.
If you have never seen Lu Ming's monk, you will definitely admit your mistake just by looking at this combination of "one person and one cat".
wrong person?
Gu Qingcheng and Pei Yan thought together, and the cats looked at each other again——
Gu Qingcheng: ...So, the "best" female cultivator at the city gate is not just mentally ill, but she recognized the wrong person?
Pei Yan: ...Aqing is right!
etc!
The female cultivator admitted her mistake once, and she will probably do it a second time.
If she were free, would she "shake people"?
