"I would like to invite fellow Taoists to explore this cave of the ancient Zifu monks together!" Kong Xin said calmly.
"Ancient Monk's Cave..."
Ye Jin's eyes moved slightly and he repeated.
"Yes, the head of the Zhao family and I made a preliminary exploration of that cave. Due to the existence of restrictions, we were not able to actually enter the cave, and there were some puppet beasts outside the cave. But Daoyou Zhao and I were very capable. Difficult to explore.”
"This time I invite you, Brother Shankui, to explore this cave together. The treasures obtained will be distributed according to work."
Ye Jin's eyes did not change, he smiled, and suddenly asked:
"I have just broken through to transparency, and I am still a demon cultivator. How could Fellow Daoist Kong think of inviting me? There are many masters among the second-level monks present just now. Fellow Daoist Kong, if you invite just one of them, it would probably be better than inviting me who is only in the early stages of enlightenment. Is it a lot?"
Speaking of this, Ye Jin's expression was somewhat meaningful.
Obviously, the meaning of Ye Jin's words is that you, Kong Xin, are probably killing people and seizing treasures in the name of the ancient cave.
Kong Xin was not a fool, so he naturally understood what Ye Jin meant.
His face did not reveal the slightest expression, but he said straightforwardly: "One of the reasons why I invite you, fellow Taoist Shankui, is because of Master Mingpo. You can be favored by Master Mingpo. Naturally, It’s trustworthy.”
"Another reason is that it is precisely because you, Brother Shankui, are only in the early stage of enlightenment, so I am relieved to invite you to explore this ancient cave together."
Speaking of this, Kong Xin's pale face looked very calm, and the content of his words was also quite straightforward.
It is precisely because you, Ye Jin, are only at the early stage of enlightenment that I invite you. If it were another mid- to late-stage second-level or even perfect practitioner, Kong Xin would not dare to invite you to explore this ancient cave together.
After all, everyone knows the nature of casual cultivators, and it is commonplace for people to take advantage of others.
Kong Xin himself is only at the mid-level cultivation level of the fifth level of foundation building. The head of the Zhao family is about the same level as Ye Jin, and may even be a little lower than Ye Jin. After all, he is also a second-level person who has just succeeded in building the foundation. Newcomer.
If we invite second-level perfect masters such as White Tiger Demon and Moro Child Elder to go to the ancient cave, once the treasure is discovered, infighting will almost 100% happen.
There is a high probability that he will be stabbed in the back by such a person.
On the contrary, monks like Ye Jin and the head of the Zhao family, who are in the early stages of foundation building, have similar cultivation levels, but they are afraid of each other and explore peacefully.
Of course, being able to gain Ming Po's trust was also one of the important reasons why Kong Xin chose Ye Jin.
After listening to Kong Xin's words, Ye Jin didn't feel any discomfort. After all, his own cultivation level was in the early stage of enlightenment. As for the actual combat power, who can't say for sure if he doesn't fully display it?
Ye Jin smiled, nodded and said:
"Since Fellow Daoist Kong has said it so straightforwardly, why should I refuse?"
"I wonder when you plan to leave?"
Seeing that Ye Jin agreed, Kong Xin showed undisguised joy on his face and said in surprise: "That's great! With the help of fellow Taoist Shankui on this trip, we will definitely gain a lot."
After speaking, Kong Xin patiently explained:
“The next time to explore the cave is scheduled for three months later, and the location is at Chiba Pier.
I think there is a very powerful restriction outside that ancient cave, and we need to prepare some means to break it. "
Ye Jin nodded: "Okay, I will make an appointment in three months."
"In that case, Kong will be waiting for Fellow Daoist Shankui at Chiba Pier in three months' time."
After that, Ye Jin and Kong Xin left one after another under the arrangement of the old host. Kong Xin left first, and Ye Jin stayed at the end.
Seeing Kong Xin's back disappearing through the stone door, Ye Jin cupped her hands and said to the old man beside her:
"Thank you for taking care of me at this trade fair, senior. I'm afraid I will bother you a lot more in the future."
At this trade fair, the old man showed more or less concern for him, whether it was because he was introduced by Ming Po to dispel the ill intentions of other second-level practitioners, or he was later willing to pay a high price of 200,000 spiritual stones to buy him. From "The Netherworld Sutra", one can see the old man's care for himself in these aspects.
Moreover, Ye Jin discovered that this kind of underground trading would have an advantage, that is, there would be a lot of good things.
Such as Youluo Yunzhou, high-grade spiritual stones, etc., are all rare and good treasures, at least they are much more real than the stalls in the "Panjiayuan" Tianyuan Market.
Although most of them may be dirty, to practitioners like Ye Jin, what does it matter whether they are dirty or not?
As long as the thing is good, it counts
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's not a problem. How can I not entertain the guests introduced by Master Ming Po?"
Ye Jin originally wanted to ask the mysterious old woman Ming Po about her background, but after thinking about it, she decided against it.
"I won't disturb you, senior. I'll take my leave now."
The old man nodded, took out the black jade token given by Ming Po from his arms and gave it back to Ye Jin, saying:
"This token is a communication order. When the trade fair is held later, it will be revealed on the token. The location is still here. You can come directly."
Nodding and accepting the black jade token, Ye Jin said goodbye:
"Next time I come to bother senior, I'll take the first step."
"Go." The old man waved goodbye with a smile.
After saying goodbye, Ye Jin left through the secret passage. When he came out, he found that it was not the stone house he came in, but an alley, which showed the old man's caution.
After walking out of the alley, to be cautious, Ye Jin spread her spiritual consciousness first to see if there was anyone ambushing her around.
The night is dark and moonless.
Immortal cultivators are also inevitably affected by the fact that mortals work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Unless necessary, they rarely move around at night and return to their rented caves for meditation.
The streets that were still bustling with activity during the day were now silent.
Except for the occasional watchman, there was no one else walking on the street.
Following the street to the south of the "mortal area", Ye Jin raised his eyes to check the direction. Ye Jin was about to activate the small flying talisman to go back.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a huge figure suddenly appearing at the end of his sight.
Looking around, Ye Jin couldn't help but let out a soft sigh after seeing the figure's face clearly:
"It's actually him?"
This huge figure is tall and majestic, with a long elephant trunk hanging on its face. It is the elephant demon at the trade fair not long ago!
"He hasn't left yet?"
Ye Jin couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Logically speaking, this elephant demon should have left the south part of the city half an hour ago. Why did he look like he had just left at this time?
At this time, the elephant demon was doing something that was inconsistent with his burly body. He was cautious, turning his head three times with each step, his eyes were extremely alert, like a timid mouse.
After leaving the southern part of the city, the elephant demon activated the small flying charm to blend into the night and quietly fly in a certain direction.
Ye Jin has sharp eyes and knows that this direction is the direction away from Qianye City.
Thinking back to Xiang Yao's eagerness to buy the Jingshen Pill, could it be that one of Xiang Yao's friends whose spirit was damaged was settled outside the city?
But why outside the city?
Wouldn’t it be good to rent a cave in Chiba City?
In this way, with the existence of Qianye Hall, although secret assassinations cannot be stopped, at least those casual cultivators who lick blood at the tip of their swords do not dare to blatantly plunder.
"Reincarnation Paradise"
unless……
Xiang Yao’s best friend can’t even enter Chiba City!
Ye Jin's eyes moved slightly and he quickly figured this out.
Only those who have offended Qianye Hall, or are wanted by Qianye Hall, dare not enter Qianye City.
It seems that the soul-damaged friend behind the elephant demon has a somewhat unusual identity...
Ye Jin felt a little emotional for a second, then his eyes suddenly condensed.
I saw that shortly after the elephant demon left, the space at the end of the street squirmed, and a vague figure appeared, and then it turned into a faint light and disappeared in a flash.
Seeing this scene, Ye Jin couldn't help but look thoughtful.
It seems that I have encountered a murderer to seize the treasure?
Stand there and think for a moment.
One of the purposes of Ye Jin's trip to the trade fair was to catch some fish.
However, under the care of the old man from the trade fair, the casual cultivators who might have had ill intentions towards Ye Jin had to put their minds aside.
An unexpected combination of circumstances also caused Ye Jin's fishing plan to go to waste.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Jin took out his small flying talisman and followed him.
The figure behind the elephant demon is absolutely unexpected, with a mantis stalking a cicada, and an oriole behind it.
In order to ensure that the oriole was him, Ye Jin released his spiritual consciousness with all his strength and scanned the surroundings for signs of trouble.
Because he has practiced the "Yamfu Refining Divine Art", Ye Jin's soul strength is not much worse than those practitioners in the middle stage of foundation building, unless he is one level higher than him, or he has the "Turtle Breath Condensing Qi Art" 》Such a method of concealing aura, otherwise, even a second-level perfect master would not be able to avoid the scanning of Ye Jin's spiritual consciousness.
After repeatedly confirming that no one was following him, Ye Jin fell far behind the shadow and followed the elephant demon and the shadow away.
Time passed, and the three of them hid themselves out of Chiba City.
While following, Ye Jin suddenly discovered that the dark figure quietly following the Elephant Demon was actually the masked man competing with the Elephant Demon for the Jingshen Pill.
This person's purpose of following the elephant demon is obvious.
At that time, the masked man simply gave up the Jingshen Pill, and Ye Jin didn't notice that he had evil intentions. As expected, it was a biting dog that never barked.
The masked man followed the elephant demon carefully, and he never expected that there would be a companion.
One person and two demons formed a strange formation, leaving Qianye City one after another and entering a chaotic swamp outside the city.
Mud bubbles bubbled in the swamp.
The mist rolled in and the trees cast heavy shadows.
The elephant demon walked straight to the west. His speed was not fast, and his escape method was not very sophisticated. After all, he was a demon cultivator. The masked man and Ye Jin followed easily.
The masked man was very patient and did not rush to take action after leaving Chiba City. He followed the elephant demon silently into the depths of the deserted swamp.
Like the Elephant Demon, the masked man is also in the middle stage of foundation building, but his aura is stronger than that of the Elephant Demon, and he does it mentally and unintentionally. However, the lion still needs all his strength to fight the rabbit, so it is best to wait until everything is guaranteed before taking action.
One hit kill.
He was waiting for the moment when the elephant demon relaxed its vigilance.
The elephant demon was not completely vigilant. He looked back from time to time during his flight and left some hidden restrictions, but they were easily discovered and avoided by the masked man and Ye Jin.
The silence of the night makes the swamp even darker.
A quarter of an hour later.
The masked man chased into a forest, but his figure suddenly stopped. He lost track of the elephant demon.
The ancient trees in this forest are not dense, and the nearby space can be seen at a glance. The aura of the elephant demon just now kept coming straight to this place, and then suddenly disappeared without any warning.
The masked man let go of his consciousness and searched, but found nothing.
The night wind gradually picked up, and everything was as usual.
The elephant demon seemed to disappear out of thin air, disappearing completely without leaving any trace.
Not far behind, Ye Jin was lurking on a tree crown, also paying attention to this place secretly.
Because there was a distance between them, Ye Jin didn't notice how the Elephant Demon disappeared. Like the masked man, he couldn't tell where the Elephant Demon was hiding, so he used other means to avoid their tracking and had already flown away. .
"I underestimated the elephant demon..."
Ye Jin frowned secretly and pondered for a moment. He was not in a hurry to show up and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.
The masked man is never without any means.
As Ye Jin expected, the masked man searched for a while and failed to find the elephant demon, but he did not show any signs of anxiety. Instead, he sneered secretly and took out a round mirror-shaped magic weapon.
The fingers of this person's right hand were joined together, and spiritual power surged, and he quickly drew on the round mirror.
Strange runes were integrated into the mirror, and the mirror began to show a gleam of light. Gradually, the light became more and more dazzling, like a full moon.
However, these rays of light were covered by the masked man, and nothing leaked out.
The last stroke fell.
The masked man shouted, "Get up!"
The round mirror flew out of the man's palm, flew straight up into the sky, and turned into a bright moon embedded in the night sky. The surrounding fog was driven away by the 'moonlight'.
The clear light spread all over, instantly illuminating all directions as bright as day.
The next moment, the man suddenly turned his head and looked to the left, and saw an extremely illusory shadow moving slowly between two ancient trees. Who could it be if it wasn't the elephant demon?
The elephant demon didn't know what method it used to hide in the darkness, its aura was perfectly concealed, and it was slowly escaping.
At this time, he happened to be on the edge of the 'Moonlight'. If the masked man moved slower, he would be able to escape.
Unfortunately there is no if.
Just in case, Xiang Yao had left a back-up here in advance, but he did not expect that there was really someone with evil intentions behind him, and that he could easily defeat his arrangement.
Suddenly his figure was reflected in the round mirror, and the elephant demon was horrified, and the hair on his back stood up.
He knew in his heart that the person who could follow him here silently and easily find him must have far better methods than him.
What Xiang Yao fears most is that the city guards of Qianye Hall discover his true identity.
He didn't dare to look back. He didn't even know who he had offended. His figure suddenly turned into a ray of light and he tried his best to escape.
