"You are really comfortable! You are here drinking tea and reading a book, while I am running errands outside until my legs are broken, and you are disgusting me in all kinds of ways..."
Complaining angrily, Wang Xiaojie walked over quickly and threw a token on the table: "Here, take it. If you lose it, don't look for me."
"What is this?" Shi Chishang picked up the token and looked at it. It seemed to be made by Western alchemy. The formation patterns engraved inside faintly revealed space fluctuations. It should be some kind of key to activate the channel.
"A few days ago, a caravan discovered a floating barrier near the human world. They did not dare to go too deep, but it is certain that there are a large number of corpses of angels from the heaven inside. It should be a medium-sized tomb of gods."
Wang Xiaojie sat down on the side and continued to explain: "There are also a certain amount of light angel corpses. Currently, a total of 21 quota tokens have been issued in the virtual market. After three days, token holders can collectively enter the complex. Realm, of all the gains from exploration, the virtual market will take back 30%."
"So many?" Shi Chishang said in surprise.
"Is this still too much?" Wang Xiaojie looked helpless and said angrily, "The barrier was discovered by Xu Shi, the passage was opened by them, and the quota was given by them. It's already good to only take 30%."
"I am also unlucky. Something seems to have happened in the heaven recently. Guangming suddenly closed the interior, and the resources that were normally produced externally were also cut off. Otherwise, I would have gotten you a light spiritual object. This token I spent a lot of effort to get it. Do you want it? If not, wait another month and I should be able to get the light spiritual object."
Shi Chishang thought for a while, put away the token, nodded and said, "Okay, but when we get inside, I have to check the specific situation. If there is no light spiritual object, you have to find it for me."
"Okay!" Wang Xiaojie glared at him and gritted his teeth, "In two months, you spent me a total of twenty yuan in sixth-grade spiritual items and nearly one billion Shengtang coins... If you delay it any longer, I will go bankrupt... No, I’m already bankrupt!”
Shi Chishang shrugged: "This is what we agreed to, and I didn't break the agreement anyway."
"I know! You don't need to remind me!" Wang Xiaojie gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take you with him in three days." Then he turned and walked out of the bookstore.
Seeing Wang Xiaojie turn around and go out with resentment, Shi Chishang smiled, seemingly unintentionally lowering his head and continuing to read, but deep down in his heart, he was already extremely careful.
He and Wang Xiaojie were rivals when they first met. Today, several years later, they have not completely gotten rid of this hatred. It is just that the other side needs the stone tablet and they need the other side's channels, so they have reached a reluctant harmony.
But I spent twenty yuan on Wang Xiaojie to read here, so just listen to it. No matter what, the boss here is Wang Xiaojie's teacher. No one knows whether the money was paid in the end.
But no matter what, no one can say whether the other party will fall out after they get the stone tablet.
While flipping through the book, Shi Chishang felt a jade slip inside the ring buzzing and trembling. He took it out and looked at the message inside, and raised his eyebrows unconsciously: "This is quite a coincidence. I can't say anything. They are probably talking about the same thing..."
Muttering, Shi Chishang sent his location, and after a while, Master Yin Scorpion walked in from outside the store and looked at him with a strange face: "Are you reading here? How long have you been reading?"
"Two months!" Shi Chishang put down the book and stretched, "Since we separated that day, we have been here. What should I say?"
As a local snake, Mr. Yin Scorpion didn't know how expensive this bookstore was. He was immediately surprised and said: "Then you are not bankrupt?"
"Well, someone helped me pay for it," Shi Chishang smiled and did not continue the topic, "Have you also found a light spiritual object?"
"Yeah?" Looking at him suspiciously, Young Master Yin Scorpion said, "A few days ago, a caravan discovered a barrier. It is said that there are many specialties from the heaven inside. Do you want to go in and have a look? If so, I I’ll go to my senior brother later and ask for the token.”
At this time, Shi Chishang began to have some doubts about Wang Xiaojie's identity. He also knew about the barrier. Wang Xiaojie obviously knew more than Young Master Yin Scorpion, and his channels were obviously more convenient. Young Master Yin Scorpion also needed When he relied on connections to get the token, Wang Xiaojie had already gotten him one.
Rubbing the corners of his mouth, Shi Chishang took out the token and gestured: "I already have it."
"Where did you get it?" Mr. Yin Scorpion looked shocked and confused, "This thing is very difficult to get. I don't know what happened to the Heaven Realm recently. All the caravans in the past were repatriated. As a result, the prices of Tian Realm products are now very low. It has increased several times. When the news of this enchantment came out, many people took advantage of this opportunity and wanted to get rich overnight."
"I got it from Wang Xiaojie," Shi Chishang thought for a while, "There was someone who was in the Yu Hongyan team with you before. You should recognize him, right?"
"Second Senior Brother?" Young Master Yin Scorpion was startled and laughed, "You actually got it from him. Do you know him?"
Shi Chishang was shocked when he heard this: "He is your second senior brother? He is also the disciple of San Jue... senior? Then this bookstore is opened by San Jue senior?"
"This bookstore?" Mr. Yin Scorpion was confused. He looked around and suddenly came to his senses. He shook his head and said, "The second senior brother is the master's registered disciple. In fact, he has another disciple. I heard before that it seems to be a virtual store. A senior executive, well, so to speak, this store is opened by his real master?”
"You and he are fake senior brothers, right? Don't you even know? But this is too confusing..." Shi Chishang shook his head and said helplessly, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, there is light in the barrier Is it a spiritual thing?"
Mr. Yin Scorpion nodded: "I heard that I saw the corpses of light angels. Their godheads are considered to be other kinds of spiritual beings. Can you use them?"
"Is it divine?" Shi Chishang thought for a while and said in deep thought, "After all, I haven't seen it before, and I can't say for sure. It's best if it's possible. Otherwise, will I have to wait a month?"
"You also know this?" Mr. Yin Scorpion blinked his eyes and looked enlightened, "That's what the second senior brother told you, right? It's almost the same. Although it is said that the light will be closed tomorrow and the foreign trade routes are temporarily cut off, the virtual market has been found. On the replacement trade route, there will be light spiritual creatures arriving in another month."
"Then let's go take a look inside the barrier first!" Shi Chishang wondered, thinking, "If you can't find it inside, just wait another month."
Young Master Yin Scorpion nodded, and told him everything he knew about the barrier before he left quickly.
Although he was also being coerced, compared to Wang Xiaojie's unwillingness, Mr. Yin Scorpion was obviously much more tolerant, at least in many aspects he did not deliberately conceal anything and seemed to be more cooperative.
Secretly complaining about Wang Xiaojie's "poor performance", Shi Chishang continued to immerse himself in the sea of books.
*——*——*
Three days later, Shi Chishang met up with the hurried Young Master Yin Scorpion, and under his leadership, arrived at the location of the chamber of commerce where the floating barrier was discovered.
On the way here, Shi Chishang also inquired about the situation of other people from Mr. Yin Scorpion.
This operation was relatively secretive. The exploration operation started within three days of issuing the token, so most of the people who got the token were locals, or they just happened to be at the top of the virtual market.
In addition to Shi Chishang, Young Master Yin Scorpion, and Wang Xiaojie, those who received the tokens include Crocodile Lord, the eldest disciple of Sanjue Boy, Abe Yingying, the son of the grand master of the Cambrian Dynasty, Ji Zhao, the contemporary chief of Ruo Shuihai, and others, either with extraordinary backgrounds Strong, or they are the followers of these powerful masters. Anyway, except for Shi Chishang, there are not many casual cultivators on the surface.
As soon as he stepped into the chamber of commerce, Shi Chishang immediately felt that the atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely solemn. He raised his head and glanced around, and saw that more than ten people in the courtyard were faintly divided into three piles. There were six people on one side, headed by Abe Taka, and four people on the other side. Led by Wang Xiaojie and a muscular man, the rest were obviously a temporary team of individual travelers. They all kept their distance from each other, and they didn't look like they were acquaintances at first glance.
When the two came in, Abe Taka's team and the last wave of individual visitors were facing off in the distance, and the leader of the individual visitors' team was surprisingly the contemporary chief Ji Zhao of Ruoshui Hai.
The sound of the two people stepping into the station also alarmed the parties who were secretly confronting each other. When they saw clearly that it was Master Yin Scorpion and Shi Chi Shang, the muscular man raised his thick eyebrows and had a pair of tiger eyes, Hong said. He said: "Third Junior Brother is too late."
"We're picking someone up," Young Master Yin Scorpion stepped forward with a smile on his face and introduced, "Elder brother, this is Hun Ting, a friend I made in the Underworld."
Seeing the strong man looking over, Shi Chishang's heart was slightly frightened, but his face was calm, he cupped his fists and said, "San Xiu Hun Ting, I have met Mr. Crocodile."
That sturdy man was none other than Crocodile Lord, the fourteenth one on the list of geniuses. He was famous in the Santu Valley for his Xumi Bipolar Strength. He was also the eldest disciple of San Jue Tongzi, the master of Guangyin Mountain, and the senior brother of Wang Xiaojie and Young Master Yin Scorpion.
To be on the list of geniuses, Crocodile Lord's strength is already at the peak of the Underworld Emperor. If he doesn't use all his trump cards, it will be difficult for Shi Chishang to win under this person.
After looking Shi Chi Shang up and down, Crocodile Lord nodded and waved his hand to signal the two of them to join the team.
With the arrival of Shi Chishang and Young Master Yin Scorpion, the twenty-one monks who had received the tokens had already arrived at the scene. The Chamber of Commerce had arranged for officers to check the authenticity of the tokens when they entered the venue, so when they saw everyone present, they quickly Opened the teleportation platform next to it.
As bursts of energy surged up, the void above the array was torn apart. Under the vast light waves, an oval-shaped portal was forcibly opened by the array, and rich magical elements overflowed from it. But when he came out, he was restricted by the formation restrictions and could not penetrate outside.
Staring at the door of light, Shi Chishang's eyes flickered. The surging magical elements were the exclusive specialty of the Western Heaven. It was mixed with various elements such as fire, wind, and thunder. What excited him was the distinct presence in it. There are elemental fluctuations of light and dark elements.
