"Are you Kong Xin?!" Ye Jin looked at the person in front of him in surprise.
Under the qi-watching technique, the Dantian of the person in front of him was filled with strong ghost energy.
I saw that his whole body was covered in a black robe, and only one face was exposed. Compared with five years ago, this face had a pale complexion and looked like a dead person.
However, Ye Jin then thought about it. Kong Xin practiced the "Secret Sutra of Ghost Ghosts" and turned into a human ghost. If he became a ghost cultivator, wouldn't he be a dead person?
But Ye Jin didn't expect that Kong Xin would appear in Qianba Island.
After all, although ghost cultivators are not as popular as demon cultivators and evil cultivators, they are still different from human cultivators and usually do not appear in places where humans cultivate.
Kong Xin also had a smile on his face and said politely:
"Fellow Taoist Shankui is safe and sound. I would also like to thank Taoist Shankui for avenging Kong."
"It's just a trivial matter, but you, fellow Daoist Kong, how did you come to Qianye Island?"
Ye Jin waved his hand casually and asked curiously.
At first, Kong Xin's ghost transformation was not yet stable, and he almost fell into the foundation building. Unexpectedly, five years later, not only did he completely transform into a ghost cultivator, but his cultivation also returned to his peak, with the fifth level of foundation building.
"Kong is returning to Qianye Island with Master Mingpo this time. The beast tide is approaching, and Qianye Island is not so repulsive to other practitioners."
Seeing Ye Jin's doubts, Kong Xin explained patiently.
Ye Jin nodded when he heard the words, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. Could it be that Ming Po went to a ghost cultivation place in the past five years?
Although he had some guesses in his mind, Ye Jin did not ask, but changed the topic:
"Did Fellow Daoist Kong also come to Master Lu to refine weapons?"
Speaking of this, Ye Jin pointed to the Weapon Refining Pavilion behind him.
Unexpectedly, Kong Xin shook his head and said, "Kong specifically asked Master Mingpo about your whereabouts, fellow Taoist Shankui, and came here to find you."
"Looking for me?" Ye Jin pointed at herself with a puzzled look. When Kong Xin nodded, she couldn't help but have some questions:
"I wonder why Fellow Daoist Kong is here to find you?"
Kong Xinwen said sternly: "To be honest, Kong is here specifically to thank you, fellow Taoist Shankui."
Ye Jin became even more confused after hearing this:
"Fellow Taoist Kong has already said that this is just a casual act, not for the sake of fellow Taoist."
Ye Jin did not name Li Changhai. After all, he was in a busy market, so it was better to be cautious.
Kong Xin shook his head repeatedly and said:
"If it had been any other Taoist fellow at that time, I'm afraid that Kong might not have been able to leave peacefully. In any case, I still have to make a special trip to thank fellow Taoist."
It turned out to be thanks to myself for not killing.
Ye Jin suddenly realized, smiled and said:
"Not to mention that I am not a murderous person, but just for the sake of Lord Ming Po, I will definitely not do this."
Kong Xin still had a look of gratitude on his face, and while nodding, he handed out a wooden token with both hands and said:
"Fellow Shankui, there will be an underground exchange meeting at the old place in seven days. The beast tide is approaching. Maybe there will be something you need at the exchange meeting."
The old place naturally refers to the grocery store in Chengnan District. Ye Jin met Kong Xin at the underground trade fair last time and learned about the essence of Wutu.
Ye Jin naturally would not refuse this, and he also planned to see if he could trade the Netherworld Qi to upgrade Youluo Yunzhou to the level of a top-grade spiritual weapon.
During this period, Ye Jin had inquired at all the major shops in Chiba City, but there was no Netherworld Qi for sale.
Ghost cultivators are more exposed to such extremely yin energy.
Since it was Kong Xin's personal invitation, I thought that in addition to human cultivators and demon cultivators, there should also be ghost cultivators appearing at this underground exchange meeting.
Unexpectedly, after Kong Xin finished speaking, he changed the topic and said:
"This underground exchange meeting, in addition to the apparent transaction, actually also had a help meeting afterwards."
"Help meeting?" Ye Jin was confused.
Kong Xin nodded and said:
"Yes, there will be some fellow Taoists who will ask for help at the help-seeking meeting, or explore dangerous places in the cave together, or hire protection, etc. There are many high-rollers who will offer high-priced treasures for help."
"I heard that there will be many good treasures appearing at the help-seeking meeting. I hope I can be of some help to you, fellow Taoist Shankui."
Asking for help definitely requires a certain amount of strength. Kong Xin naturally knew Ye Jin's strength well.
When he came to Chiba Island, he also heard the news that Shan Kui defeated Tang Lilin, the young master of Point Star Villa.
Kong Xin was unfazed by the news and even wanted to laugh a little.
Being able to kill the half-true disciple of the Jinyang Clan who was on the eighth level of the foundation building, with sword energy and thunder, and the young master of Dianxing Villa, it was not difficult for Taoist Brother Shankui to kill him on the spot, let alone defeat him.
Ye Jin nodded after hearing this, and then realized that he had not participated in an underground trade fair for five years.
Although there are a lot of Qi threads on his body now, Ye Jin will never have too many spiritual objects that can refine Qi threads.
And five years have passed, and it’s time to collect the essence of the Five Elements from the "Five Elements Ruyi Stick". Let’s see if there is any at this underground exchange meeting.
Thinking of this, Ye Jin took the token and thanked him:
"So, thank you Daoist Brother Kong for making a special trip to tell me about this."
"It should be what it should be. If it's not enough, it's just a matter of effort."
The two chatted for a while, until the sky turned completely dark, and then they said goodbye.
Seven days later, Chengnan Grocery Store.
When Ye Jin arrived at the underground trade fair again, there were already many people in the hall.
Compared with the last underground trade fair, this time it was larger in scale, more people attended, and more secretive.
All participants were covered in black robes, hiding their whereabouts, and covering their entire bodies. As the tide of beasts got closer and closer, there was an impetuous atmosphere in the entire Cangnan Sea, and many murders and treasure grabbing took place. .
Therefore, most casual cultivators have become increasingly cautious.
Even those who don't wear anything, show their faces, and swagger can't be trusted. There are many magic weapons or spells that can transform and simulate appearance in the world of immortality.
At this time, there were many people sitting in the hall, but it was extremely quiet. Everyone was patiently waiting for the exchange meeting to begin.
Ye Jin looked around and couldn't recognize who Kong Xin was for a moment, so she simply stopped looking and found an empty seat to sit on, closing her eyes and resting.
Later, more and more people entered the hall.
Halfway through Hai hour.
The seats in the hall were already 70% to 80% full, and fewer and fewer people entered the hall. After waiting for a while, a sudden fluctuation appeared in the darkness behind the high platform.
The monks in the hall were all refreshed and stood up in unison, and then they saw a middle-aged monk wearing a brocade robe, sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes appearing.
Not the white-haired old man from last time?
Ye Jin was a little confused, but did not ask.
This middle-aged monk is also very powerful. He has built nine levels of foundation and is only one step away from completing the foundation building.
This person steadily stepped up to the high platform, paused briefly, clasped his fists as a gesture, and said in a strong voice: "I, Gao Yi, am the host of this exchange meeting. I will host the exchange meeting this time. If there is any negligence, I will Please don’t blame me, fellow Taoists!”
As soon as Gao Yi finished speaking, a burst of compliments immediately sounded in the hall.
Ye Jin guessed that this was not the first time that this person had hosted a swap meet. It seemed that a lot of things had happened in the underground swap meet in the five years since Ye Jin didn't come, but he didn't know if this place was still under the control of the underworld.
The standards of this underground exchange meeting are quite high. They are all in the second level, and the weakest ones are all in the middle of the second level. Ye Jin's cultivation in the middle of the transparent middle level just falls into the "weakest" group. .
"Okay, without further ado, here's the first item, the high-grade spiritual weapon [Blood Flame Fork]!"
As Gao Yi finished speaking, a fork-shaped spiritual weapon appeared in everyone's field of vision. The object was blood red and had two very sharp teeth, only as long as an adult's hand. However, everyone knew that this was not the true appearance of the spiritual weapon.
Once this thing is activated, it will definitely not be this small.
Just listen to Gao Yi's continued introduction:
"The blood flame fork, once it is activated, thousands of shadows of the fire fork fly together. As a confusion, the main body is hidden in the shadow of the fork. Of course, if that is all, the blood flame fork cannot be placed here. The real killing move It is a kind of poisonous fire sealed in the Blood Flame Fork. Once the opponent's spiritual power is touched, the poisonous fire will spread all over the body like maggots on the tarsal bones..."
Ye Jin secretly thought that it was true that it was not easy for a high-grade spiritual weapon to be put on the exchange meeting. With the poisonous fire sealed in the spiritual weapon, the value of the Blood Flame Fork was far higher than that of the same level.
Gao Yi explained and demonstrated the ability of the Blood Flame Fork. Finally, all the shadows of the fork disappeared. Gao Yi put the Blood Flame Fork back on the tray:
"The owner of the Blood Flame Fork reported that he would like to exchange this object for a spiritual weapon that can conceal the aura. It is a spiritual weapon with a special function."
He exchanged the blood flame fork for a spiritual weapon that concealed his aura. It seemed that the owner of the blood flame fork also knew how to save his life. However, the spiritual weapon that concealed his aura was more expensive and Ye Jin didn't think he could exchange it.
As for the spiritual weapons with special functions, it is more widespread, and I’m afraid it’s hard to say.
Ye Jin happened to have two items that echoed the above requirements, one was [Youluo Yunzhou] and the other was [Breaking Forbidden Ruler].
The former one perfectly echoes what Gao Yi said about concealing the aura, and is more capable of saving lives. Although it is only a middle-grade spiritual weapon, it is more valuable than ordinary high-grade spiritual weapons.
Needless to mention the latter, under the [Breaking Forbidden Ruler], the third-level forbidden array has a restraining effect. Isn't it a spiritual weapon with a special function?
Of course, Ye Jin has no shortage of offensive weapons, so naturally he would not trade [Youluo Yunzhou] and [Breaking Forbidden Ruler] for the Blood Flame Fork.
Ye Jin looked down on him, but other practitioners took a fancy to it. After all, the Blood Flame Fork was considered a high-level existence among high-grade spiritual weapons.
A practitioner sitting not far in front of Ye Jin liked this thing very much. Unfortunately, there was no spiritual weapon that could hide the breath or have a special function. He quickly asked loudly:
"Fellow Taoist Gao, does the Taoist who entrusted this thing have any idea whether it can be exchanged for spiritual stones?"
"Unfortunately, Gao also asked about this, but this fellow Taoist made it clear that he did not need spiritual stones." Gao Yi shook his head and said.
Hearing that the person did not want the spiritual stone, this person was obviously a little frustrated, and finally had to sit back in his seat with regret.
In the end, it was an old Taoist who exchanged a imprisonment spiritual weapon similar to a fairy rope for the Blood Flame Fork, which made this person jealous.
After that, treasures were auctioned one after another, and the atmosphere of the exchange meeting finally began to become anxious. There was even an extremely fierce competition for some treasures. Ye Jin had clear goals and remained calm. One was a spiritual object that could refine Qi silk; It is the essence of the five elements, and the third is the energy of the netherworld. Other than that, Ye Jin has no other needs.
"Xin Ming Guo!"
Gao Yi's voice was also filled with passion and bewitchment. He lifted up the red cloth and showed everyone a purple fruit in the tray.
This fruit is very similar to a plum. The peel is extremely thin, and you can clearly see the liquid that seems to be flowing inside. There is a layer of prohibition sealed on the surface to prevent the loss of medicinal properties.
Seeing the Xinming Fruit, Ye Jin's eyes flashed.
This thing, like the [Soul-nourishing Fruit], is an elixir for healing the soul.
At this moment, Ye Jin was surprised to see the strong man in the corner suddenly straighten up his upper body, clutching his thighs with both hands, and staring directly at Xin Ming Guo.
Although there was a mask blocking it, Ye Jin could still tell the identity of this person at a glance. Wasn't it the person who participated in the trade fair five years ago and purchased the Jingshen Pill? Wasn't he the pet elephant demon of Zifu monk Ye Lingyun?
"Xin Ming Guo, change to a flying sword type spiritual weapon."
As soon as Gao Yi finished speaking, the elephant demon shouted anxiously: "Can I only exchange it with the flying sword? Can I use other elixirs?"
Hearing this, Ye Jin couldn't help but be a little confused. Didn't Ye Lingyun buy the [Soul-nurturing Fruit] at the Jiazi Auction five years ago? Unexpectedly, the soul has not been cured yet?
It seems that Ye Lingyun's soul trauma is more severe than she imagined...
Gao Yi frowned slightly and said regretfully: "The owner of Xinmingguo only wants Feijian."
In the end, the Heart and Mind Fruit was exchanged by a female monk, and she had no intention of exchanging it with the Elephant Demon. It seemed that the Heart and Mind Fruit was the elixir she desperately needed.
In response to this, the elephant demon couldn't help but sit slumped on the chair, extremely frustrated.
Seeing this scene, Ye Jin guessed that Ye Lingyun's treatment may have reached a critical stage, otherwise the elephant demon would not be so urgent, and it would be far more urgent than five years ago.
The auction was not interrupted because of the Elephant Demon, and items were auctioned one after another. Unfortunately, there was no elixir with similar efficacy to the Heart Ming Fruit.
"The next item! A bottle of [Netherworld Qi]!"
Gao Yi's passionate voice cheered up Ye Jin.
He finally waited for this moment, and the Netherworld Qi finally came!
I saw an exquisite porcelain bottle placed on the tray. In order to show the authenticity, Gao Yi opened the mouth of the bottle. A wisp of gray-brown air like an earthworm was pulled out by Gao Yi. He felt the same as Youluo Yunzhou. Ye Jin finally confirmed that this thing was the aura of the netherworld!
"Ten wisps of Netherworld Qi have assisted the cultivation of many fellow ghost cultivators. Gao will not go into details. The owner of the Netherworld Qi requires exchange for a ghost cultivator that can directly point to the third level. Or practice evil practices!"
Third level ghost cultivation or evil cultivation technique?
It seems that the owner of this Netherworld Qi has probably reached the second level of perfection, or is even close to breaking through the third level, so he is in urgent need of a third level skill.
Ye Jin's eyes moved slightly and he quickly calculated the value of these ten strands of Netherworld Qi.
