"Ah!~~~~"
A long sigh of relief came from the mouth of an eyebrowless man with sunken cheeks and dry wrinkled skin.
Of course, what is more eye-catching are the large characters "Niu Niu is afraid of difficulties" above his bald head.
If Niu Niu didn't have this name today, he would probably not be able to recognize him even if he was so close to him that he wears a pair of pants.
Niu Niu is also aware of the change in his appearance, and he has no regrets about it, and is even happy with it.
Time goes back to two days ago, when [Niu Niu is afraid of difficulties] received the news of starting a faction war with a confused look, and found out that the faction war had ended in just two hours.
He then asked Xia Jinyu about the Underworld Corpse Cult, and then they chatted about some of the differences in martial arts and techniques.
The road to martial arts requires one step at a time, that is, there are some techniques that absorb other people's skills that can improve oneself in a short period of time, and then more resources and time will be spent to stabilize the foundation.
Otherwise, the acquired skill will be like a castle in the air. You cannot fully control it and you don't know when hidden dangers will arise.
(Of course, this situation does not exist for the man named Qin who was cheated by a certain Tiandao himself.)
The road of magic is different. It can overtake in corners. Of course, you will lose as much as you want to gain.
When talking about this, Xia Jinyu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Because some losses for ordinary people are not suitable for the aliens themselves. With their immortal bodies that can be constantly resurrected and their 100% pain-free physique, they can completely find new ways to achieve the greatest results with the smallest losses!
So when Xia Jinyu proposed an uncertain plan, [Niu Niu is afraid of difficulties] was moved.
Niu Niu, who immediately decided to specialize in Yin attribute magic, began to withstand the erosion of Yin elements bit by bit under the guidance of Xia Jinyu.
Then his hair began to fall out, and his body became thinner and thinner. Even his cheeks were sunken, like a mummy that had just crawled out of the cemetery.
He knew that his appearance had become very ugly, but he didn't care about it. After all, no matter how bad he was, he was still a man. With the Wugen Magic Pearl and Jade in front of him, he felt that he was still far away.
Therefore, he was willing to accept Xia Jinyu's various experiments!
Although he felt a little flustered as he watched the blood limit continue to decrease, he learned a few Yin-type spells.
He realized that blood volume was of no use. As a master, the most important thing was having more blue. With blue, he would be invincible!
And in just two days, he felt like he could compete with his old self.
Unfortunately, this experiment that just started ended temporarily today because they arrived at their destination, the secret place of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
This is the headquarters of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. When he entered it, [Niuniu Afraid of Difficulties] was a little disappointed because he didn't see any so-called mountains of gold and silver, only seven towering peaks.
After being introduced by Xia Jinyu, he knew that these were the Seven Peaks of Tongtian. The person in charge of each peak was a shopkeeper, and they were arranged in order according to the height of the peak.
The highest mountain peak belongs to the Great Shopkeeper, and the lowest one belongs to the Seventh Shopkeeper, Liu Lisha.
Of course, the height of this mountain is not always constant. Every time the year-end accounting is carried out, the height of each mountain will change due to the profit status of each shopkeeper.
[Niu Niu is afraid of difficulties] He doesn't quite understand this principle, and the existence of the secret realm itself has greatly increased his understanding of the upper limit of the power of this game.
According to his observation, there is still a huge gap between the seven peaks. First of all, the highest peak is like a pillar reaching the sky. Using the word "peak" to describe it is a blasphemy!
Then there is the second peak, which is also so high that the top cannot be seen, but from the outer contour of the peak, it can be vaguely judged that after using the [Niu Niu is afraid of difficulties] technique, the limit of the enhanced eyesight is only a short distance away.
Then the third to fifth peaks can already allow Niu Niu to see the top of the mountain, and the height difference between them is not too big.
But the last 6th and 7th peaks are a bit stretched. They feel like two hills with a height of several hundred meters. It will take decades at least to catch up with the 5th peak.
Immediately after Xia Jinyu arranged Niu Niu to one of his subordinates, he went to a hall at the foot of the first peak.
Niu Niu, who stepped into the fourth peak, was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear because of the prompt that popped up in front of her.
[Absorb the yin and yang elements of the five elements, strengthen the affinity of the elements, and increase the upper limit of mana value by 1! 】
[Absorb vitality to temper your body, the upper limit of your health is +3! 】
[Due to the excessive erosion of the Yin element, the player will fuse the Yin attribute independently, with the upper limit of health value -2 and experience value +100 (double experience bonus)! 】
These three interfaces will pop up at the same time every few seconds, and Niu Niu even discovered that if he uses meditation + visualization, he can greatly increase the values of the three items.
So when the guide sent him to a guest room, Niu Niu began to practice crazily, howling happily while watching the numerical value increase.
On the other side, Xia Jinyu, who was about to go straight into the main hall, raised his eyebrows when he looked at the woman walking out of the main hall.
The palace dress the other party is wearing outlines his curvy figure, and the fine cherry blossom petals embroidered on the skirt corners add a bit of elegance to his temperament.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the smiling eyes, especially when the eyes are narrowed into a crescent shape, I believe that 90% of the men in the world will be moved by them.
But unfortunately, she ran into one of those 10%.
"Hey, isn't this Aunt Liu!"
Xia Jinyu unfolded the folding fan, and a breath of nouveau riche hit his face, instantly breaking the elegant and tranquil side of the other party.
Liu Lisha's smile that had always been hidden in her eyes disappeared. She quietly clenched her fists, stared at Xia Jinyu and said:
"Believe it or not, I'm dragging you to death now!"
Xia Jinyu curled his lips, he didn't believe that they would die together.
But if the other party breaks a jar and destroys it for him without any scruples, or scratches his face twice to make him look bad, he will be a little panicked.
Looking at his slender nails, Xia Jinyu changed the subject abruptly.
"Are you leaving?"
Liu Lisha took a deep breath. After her chest rose and fell, her expression calmed down and she said:
"Well, the boss is not here, and the second boss is in charge of this meeting, so I will go back first."
"Oh? Can I leave too?" Xia Jinyu raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively.
Liu Lisha said expressionlessly:
"What do you think?"
Xia Jinyu shrugged helplessly, and then looked towards the main hall. Although the main hall door was closed, he felt that there were several people inside looking straight at him through the door.
"It's so stressful."
While saying this, Xia Jinyu pulled Liu Lisha to the corner.
Then he waved his right hand, and a soundproof barrier was formed.
The originally flirtatious look on his face disappeared without a trace, and the seriousness in his eyes, especially the aura exuding from his body, was more in line with his status as the fourth shopkeeper of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
"We are considered our own now, why don't you reveal it?"
"One of our own?" The smile appeared in Liu Lisha's eyes again, but it was more cunning than the gentleness before.
"I know what you are rushing to do. After all, I am the master of Wangyou Ghost City. Besides, there are no conflicts or personal grudges between you and me."
"Liu... eldest... mother..." Liu Lisha gritted her teeth and revealed the key to their personal grudges word by word.
"Ahem, I swear I will never call you that again!" Xia Jinyu looked serious and quickly raised his hands to promise.
Liu Lisha looked into the other person's eyes, her eyes were indeed serious, but she knew Xia Jinyu so well that she couldn't believe a word unless she made a vow.
But she didn't hold on to this at this time, even though Xia Jinyu's teasing names would cause tons of psychological damage to her, an older woman.
But the other party was right about one thing. She, the seventh shopkeeper, had no conflict with Xia Jinyu, the fourth shopkeeper.
Especially after Ye Di sent her a letter, asking her to go to Wangyou Ghost City and join Ye Fu's name to participate.
The two are already the best allies who can benefit from each other and make progress together at the same time.
"The opening of this meeting was initiated by the third child. The eldest brother abstained. The second child, as the person in charge, did not participate in the voting. The remaining fifth, sixth and I all voted in favor."
Xia Jinyu said helplessly: "You must have screwed up. If I am rejected here, you will be even more helpless in the ghost market."
Liu Lisha curled her lips: "If it hadn't been for opening a temporary meeting to trip you up, that Night Emperor wouldn't have been able to find me! Besides, it's useless even if I vote against it."
"Then what do you think I should do next?"
"You just have to bite yourself to death to avoid crossing the line. Besides, you should understand that the real purpose of this meeting is to trap you, especially at this time after the Death Cult was destroyed."
Speaking of the last sentence, Liu Lisha's tone was slightly low. If Xia Jinyu had not received Qin Fan's letter, he might not have noticed her emotional changes at this moment.
"This way I have a base. By the way, except for the boss who is not here, are everyone else here?"
Liu Lisha shook her head:
"I didn't see the sixth one. He might have left early. After all, it's enough to just come and talk to the second one about a fruitless meeting. If you stay here all the time, you'll lose a lot of money."
"Then according to what you said, apart from the second child who is responsible for this matter, the third and fifth children are determined to fight with me to the end even if they spend their time making money."
A cruel look flashed in Xia Jinyu's eyes.
"Fighting to the end won't hurt, but it will temporarily prevent you from helping the ghost market.
Think carefully about how many times you have stepped outside the line over the years. Even if you follow the rules of the Chamber of Commerce and let you calm down for a few months and copy books, it is considered a light punishment. "
Frankly speaking, Liu Lisha now hopes that Xia Jinyu can escape this punishment.
After all, Xia Jinyu's status as a master in the ghost market will be of great help to her, and the two of them are old acquaintances, which can ensure mutual help and mutual benefit to maximize profits.
But the Emperor of the Night, who turned a blind eye to the divine dragon's various advances, made her feel very troubled.
Then, after the Underworld Cult was destroyed, he contacted himself during this critical period.
Although it can be suspected that this matter was because Xia Jinyu was stuck in the meeting and needed an expert to help, there are still many uncertain factors involved.
But on the one hand, Liu Lisha had no choice. Among the two major sects originally standing behind her, the Underworld Corpse Sect was destroyed first, and the Ten Thousand Poison Palace was in danger. She could not further borrow the power of the Ye Mansion for her. Its protection.
If this continues, the position of the seventh shopkeeper may not be guaranteed.
Then she thought about the grudge between the Ghost Market and the Ten Thousand Poison Palace, and the more she thought about it, the more her head grew bigger.
And perhaps sensing Liu Lisha's tangled state of mind at the moment, Xia Jinyu suddenly said:
"You can ask Ghost Lord for help."
"Um?"
"It's a little weird that Ye Di invites you to participate in the ghost market."
"Um."
"There is a possibility that he could take advantage of you."
"Um."
"The only one who can help you in the ghost market is Guizun."
"..."
But Qin Fan destroyed the Underworld Corpse Cult, and the next step would be to destroy the Ten Thousand Poison Palace, and even kill his own father. Liu Lisha couldn't say this.
"This is for you." Xia Jinyu handed the master suit to Liu Lisha, "Although the real master is only me, with the power of this mask, you can at least protect yourself without worries.
By the way, I heard that in this operation to eliminate the Underworld Corpse Cult, only the Ghost Lord and the powerful men of Ye Mansion took action. No matter it was my side, Jiji Palace or Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion, they were all kept secret. . "
"What do you mean?" Liu Lisha took over the mask and robe. Before she could express her gratitude for the other party's generosity, she was attracted by another topic.
"I just feel that things are a bit strange. The Ghost Lord has always made decisions beforehand, and his behavior is not so flamboyant. Otherwise, his strength would not have been exposed as a last resort during the battle between beasts.
And the Underworld Corpse Cult was destroyed just before the Ghost Market was opened to the outside world. It seemed like they were deliberately trying to make the Ghost Lord famous. Of course, the word should be changed - praise and kill! "
"Do you think that Emperor Ye took the lead in that operation, and at the end, he deliberately put the Ghost Lord on the line?"
"Who knows." Xia Jinyu shrugged, "Anyway, I have given you the idea and the things. The rest is up to you."
After Liu Lisha was silent for a moment, she nodded, and solemnly thanked Xia Jinyu and expressed that she owed him a favor.
Xia Jinyu waved his hand freely and then entered the hall.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Liu Lisha also frowned.
She felt a little frightened by Xia Jinyu's overtures. Although the two were not directly competitive, the always slanderous Fourth Master Xia didn't seem like a benefactor who would take care of her.
But when she thought about the complicated relationships in the ghost market, she realized something.
There is a Night Emperor who is hiding in the dark and no one knows his true identity now. He commands all the killers in the world and is well versed in the tricks of the old Yin.
The reputation of a ghost spread throughout the Kyushu, and the previous beast tide war proved that he had great strength. Therefore, he and the ghost master named Yun Yu Cangmiao were regarded as the two greatest prodigies in the world.
In addition, she was the first eldest princess to seize the position of power of the Huanghuang lineage from the Xuanhou faction, and she was a woman who was not inferior to men.
There is also the Master of the Clever Palace, who usually seems to be laughing and joking, but actually has no idea how far he has attained in the artifice. He is recognized as the best craftsman in the world, and is also known as the best weapon in the world.
Oh, by the way, there is also a business genius who can counterattack from the position of seventh shopkeeper to fourth shopkeeper in more than ten years. He is also known as the business genius who can make money.
Before entering the ghost market, Liu Lisha could imagine that there would be intrigues and even tragic and thrilling scenes.
As for the idea of using herself to break into the ghost market and benefit from the Ten Thousand Poison Palace, she gave up completely after it only appeared in her mind for a moment.
The current Ten Thousand Poison Palace is almost disgusting to people, and any relationship with it may lead to the loss of the position of the seventh shopkeeper.
In addition, she was afraid of even facing the Night Emperor. If she provoked a few other monsters, it would be more fun for her to wipe her neck, so she didn't want to stir up the entire ghost market on her own.
Liu Lisha then grasped the master's mask, which was perhaps the only thing that could add some confidence to her heart.
At the same time, she also understood Xia Jinyu's deeper intention. As one of the five parties, he must show his presence in the ghost market, which is also related to the distribution of interests.
Although she is not the real master, wearing the mask of the master can keep his name in the ghost market.
"It's really tricky."
Liu Lisa sighed, but her pace did not slow down even a minute. After that, she directly rented the fastest locomotive in Jiqiao Palace and sped towards the ghost market.
On the other side, after some wrangling, Xia Jinyu had to stay in the Tongtian Secret Realm for three months.
Although he is not prohibited from communicating with others, the experts under his command are not allowed to interfere in anything that has nothing to do with the business aspects of the ghost market, and some behaviors that step outside the line are even more forbidden!
Upon hearing the news, [Niu Niu is afraid of difficulties] was immediately ecstatic.
...
Forget about the ghost market.
After finishing all matters, Qin Fan also received a letter from Xia Jinyu.
After knowing that his psychological hints and various remarks about Liu Lisha had been completed, Qin Fan looked at Feng Mo beside him with a satisfied expression.
"How long until the martial arts tournament finals?"
"Two days."
