The divine crystal was stimulated by the stone pillars to give off a gleaming luster, and the luster spread along the stone pillars bit by bit.
"Uncle-senpai, let's go in!"
Xu Ziling took Chen Fei to the place where the formation was to be activated. Xu Xinping turned the stone pillar and then the formation patterns on the ground shone with light, covering the bodies of the three of them.
The light was dazzling for a moment, and Chen Fei accurately captured the fluctuations in spatial ability.
Appearing again, the three of them had appeared in a stone room underground somewhere.
"One-way moving formation!"
Noticing that there were no formations similar to the ones above in the stone room, Chen Fei could conclude that this was a one-way movement formation.
And underground, there must be more than one moving formation that connects to the outside world.
"Let's go, senior!"
Xu Ziling shouted cheerfully and quickly walked into the passage from the stone room.
There are many luminous stones of different sizes on the stone walls of the passage. Their presence fills the passage with warm yellow or green light.
After walking along the passage for some distance, my eyes suddenly opened up.
What appeared in sight was a small town of considerable size, with neat houses. The tallest building was three or four stories high.
The top of the head looks like a huge stalactite cave with spikes hanging from it.
In the center of the cave ceiling is a huge yellow spar, which emits a warm yellow light, dispelling darkness and bringing warmth at the same time.
Going down the stone stairs and looking into the distance, you can see that there are many more passage stone stairs like this. If they are not connected to other large stone chambers, then they are all connected to multiple internal and external moving formations.
"Senior uncle, this is Fangshi, and the place connected to the passages on both sides is our residential area."
Xu Ziling was very interested, just like a little sparrow chirping in front of her.
Walking in the streets of Fangshi, with a casual glance, I can tell that half of the people here are just ordinary people, and they are the lowest-level labor force living here.
There were bursts of shouts in his ears. The prosperity here was far beyond Chen Fei's imagination. It was already equivalent to the shopping street in Xinglan City.
Occasionally, they would greet Xu Xinping when they met some people. When their eyes fell on Chen Fei, Chen Fei's image made them full of doubts.
Most of them were thinking about why Xu Xinping brought back a beggar. He couldn't be a slave or something like that.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, let's go to the Scorpion Mountain to hunt the Water Jade Scorpions together. The Jinmiao Weapon Refining Shop is collecting materials at a high price. It is said that they have accepted the commission to refine the magic weapon with the power of water."
The man walking towards him was tall and burly, and although his facial features looked rougher, his eyes were as pure as Xu Xinping's.
The two have collaborated several times before and have initially established a certain amount of trust.
The casual cultivators in this underground city need to go hunting together in Scorpion Mountain if they want to survive. Having a reliable teammate is the guarantee that they can return safely every time.
"Brother Zhang, I just came back from outside. Let's work together next time!"
Zhang Zelin helplessly spread his hands:
"That's a pity. Both of us are majoring in the power of gold. The two of us can produce stronger combat power by joining forces. Let's work together again next time we have the opportunity."
"Hey? Is this girl Zi Ling? She's getting more and more beautiful. The little girl with yellow hair back then has grown into a big beauty in the blink of an eye!"
After being praised, Xu Ziling said hello shyly and politely.
Zhang Zelin joked with Xu Ziling before striding away. He still needed to invite two more people to go hunting with him.
Looking at Zhang Zelin's back, Xu Xinping shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Until today, he didn't know the meaning of the saying, a friend in need is a friend indeed. You can't tell a person's character from ordinary interactions, and you don't know whether he is a true brother or a hypocrite.
Xu Xinping and An Zhijie had hunted together twice before. An Zhijie was usually the team leader and was relatively fair in the distribution.
But this time when faced with a life and death crisis, Xu Xinping finally recognized the true face of An Zhijie, who would do anything to survive.
He can bring troubles to other people, and will sacrifice his companions when he is in a certain death situation. Such a person must never consider cooperation again.
Xu Ziling is so innocent that she can be described as ignorant and fearless, but Xu Xinping has some experience.
Because they didn't care about Fangshi, Xu Xinping and Xu Ziling took Chen Fei through Fangshi quickly, and then entered a cave network that was half as complex as the eight extraordinary meridians of the human body.
After walking to the end of the fish intestine-like passage, we arrived at the cave house where the two lived.
There are traces of formation fluctuations inside and outside the cave entrance.
"Senior, please don't mind if the residence is simple."
Xu Xinping made a respectful gesture of invitation.
I came here on a whim, originally I just planned to come to the market to look at some materials for sale.
But I never thought that the purchase price of some things here would be far higher than the highest selling price of the four major chambers of commerce.
The selling price of some materials is even exaggerated to one-half of the price charged by the chamber of commerce.
The most valuable ones are elixirs, magic weapons, and divine crystals.
Because there is a certain degree of danger in traveling to big cities, and the journey takes a long time, unless it is some chamber of commerce, no one will waste time and risk leaving here.
This has resulted in a backlog of some materials, as well as a huge demand for consumables and necessities such as elixirs, magic weapons, and divine crystals.
On the second day after arriving in this underground city, Chen Fei took Xu Ziling to visit some large shops.
Then I directly rented a remote shop to collect materials, and by the way, I bought some low-level elixirs and magic weapons made by upgrading the alchemy and weapon refining sub-professions.
There is a huge market for these low-level elixirs and magic weapons in this remote place.
According to the prices paid by some outside chambers of commerce in the past, Chen Fei was only slightly higher than them, and he got the users of casual cultivators here.
Low-level spiritual herbs and weapon-refining materials can be directly exchanged for low-level elixirs and magic weapons.
Slightly higher prices are traded with divine crystals.
Xu Ziling and Xu Xinping became part-time workers for Chen Fei, and the few days they spent were much more than what they would get from going out for adventure.
During this period, Chen Fei met two powerful men at the level of gods who came to test the details.
In this underground town, the strongest ones are those at the level of gods.
Chen Fei's appearance broke the balance maintained by the city, and some people would be unable to sit still if their interests were touched.
When Chen Fei said that he would naturally leave in five days, the two god-level experts smiled and exchanged a few words before leaving.
After getting along for a few days, Chen Fei was very satisfied with Xu Xinping and Xu Ziling, brothers and sisters.
It gave him new ideas on how to arrange things next.
"I will arrive in Kuixing City in about a month and intend to open a shop there. If you are willing, you can leave with me."
