The deep night was like a dark curtain, covering the entire dark street.
There is only a little light coming from the shops on the streets of Nuoda, making it look even more eerie at night.
Walking on the dim street, Lin Shen looked at the shops on both sides and pursed his lips.
This is already his third time on the underworld.
The previous two times were to purchase the essence condensation fluid, but this time it was mainly to get back the deposit pawned at Qian Shen.
In order not to appear too abrupt, Lin Shen deliberately waited five days after Zhou Zhihai's death before going to Hidden Snake again.
He remembered the location of the alley very clearly, and soon came to the iron door and reached out to knock on the door.
After some questions and answers, the man guarding the door turned sideways and let Lin Shen in.
It was still the dark bar, with as few customers as ever, only seven or eight.
Behind the bar was the same bartender who had served him last time, meticulously wiping the transparent glass.
Lin Shen went straight to the bar, knocked on the bar, and said in a hoarse voice:
"The information on mission Ding 2201 is wrong!"
The bar stopped wiping, glanced at him, took out a piece of information from under the bar, flipped through it for a while and then nodded:
"The information is indeed wrong, but the mission does not need to continue. The publisher has died. According to regulations, 30% of the mission deposit will be given to you as compensation."
Lin Shen frowned: "If the information is wrong, shouldn't I be compensated for half of the deposit?"
The bartender glanced at him but said nothing.
Damn profiteers!
Lin Shen cursed secretly and said: "Deposit and compensation!"
The bartender quickly counted the spiritual coins and handed them to him.
Lin Shen counted it and found that 30% of the deposit actually contained a full 45,000 spirit coins.
"Is the deposit half of the task reward? Damn profiteer!"
After scolding Qian Shen again, Lin Shen collected the spirit coins and left the bar without looking back.
After walking out of the alley, Lin Shen did not leave the black street immediately, but rushed towards the shop selling Ningzhen Liquid.
After breaking through to the eighth level of pneumatics, the improvement in cultivation progress per 100 ml of condensation fluid has dropped sharply to less than 1%. On average, every 300 ml of condensation fluid can increase the progress of cultivation by 1%.
Lin Shen now only has less than 12 liters of Condensation Liquid left in his hand. After absorbing all of it, he can increase his cultivation progress by up to 40%, which is far from enough to make another breakthrough.
There is still a huge gap in cultivation resources, and he needs to purchase a large amount of Condensation Liquid.
Shadowed corner of the alley.
Hao Tu leaned against the wall and stood with his arms folded, tapping his arms with his fingers, his eyes filled with impatience.
A few minutes later, a figure suddenly appeared not far away. After looking around for a while, the figure seemed to have discovered Hao Tu's existence and slowly approached him.
After seeing the other party's face clearly through the moonlight, Hao Tu couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
"When did you come here? What were you doing again?"
"Calm down, wasn't I looking for a target?"
Dai Geng had a smile on his face, and then he couldn't help but complain.
"I don't know what my elder brother is thinking, but he actually asked us to go to the black streets to catch prey. The practitioners here are all smart, how can they be so easy to catch?"
Mentioning this, Hao Tu's anger, which had been mostly dissipated, suddenly came back again, and he cursed in a low voice:
"You still have the nerve to say this?"
"If you hadn't killed a student from Huailiu Academy some time ago and caused us to be targeted by Zhiwu Hall, why would we have gone to such a remote place to look for prey?"
Dai Geng shrank his neck and said: "How did I know that boy is a student of Huailiu College?"
After a pause, he showed an indignant look.
"Speaking of this, another student from Huailiu Academy died a few days ago. Damn it, the Zhiwu Hall actually suspected that it was us. Damn it, don't let me know who dared to frame us, otherwise I will definitely let him suffer.
I can’t walk around in circles!”
Hao Tu snorted coldly.
"Mind your own business first, don't forget what brother said, if you can't hand over the prey tonight, you and I will be the ones to make up for it!"
Dai Geng was so excited by his words that he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Seeing this, Hao Tu felt contempt in his heart and did not continue to scare him, but said coldly:
"You just said you were looking for a target. Did you find a suitable one?"
"have!"
Dai Geng nodded quickly, motioned for Hao Tu to follow, and turned around to lead the way.
Not long after, the two came to a shop more than 200 meters away.
"The target is inside now."
Dai Geng pointed at the shop. Through the crack of the open door, he could vaguely see a figure moving inside.
Hao Tu looked at it carefully and quickly recalled that this was a shop selling elixirs. He had visited it several times before, and Dai Geng was a frequent visitor here.
"When I came here to buy elixirs a few times, I had a casual chat with the shopkeeper inside. He told me that a guy came twice to buy more than ten liters of essence condensation liquid. Although the guy used the disguise elixir, most of it was
The same person, so he was very impressed!"
"The target you are talking about is the person who buys the condensation liquid?"
"That's right!"
Dai Geng nodded heavily, with a sinister smile appearing on his face.
"The only ones who can use the Ningzhen Liquid are Qi Dynasty practitioners. If the two of us join forces, it will be easy to deal with that person!"
Hao Tu pondered slightly, a faint light flashed in his eyes.
Ningzhen Liquid is a by-product of the Ningzhen Pill, and indeed only practitioners in the Qi Dynasty Realm will use it to assist their cultivation.
And because of its side effect of shortening lifespan, only those practitioners who have been stuck in the ninth level of pneumatic energy for many years and have no hope of breaking through will take the risk of using it to make a fortune. If they can break through to the long-breath realm, their lifespan can be extended.
In other words, the target in Dai Geng's mouth is most likely a practitioner of the ninth level of Qi Dynasty!
And he and Dai Geng were both at the ninth level of Qi Dynasty. If they were two against one, it would not be difficult to kill that person.
As his mind raced, Hao Tu quickly came up with a plan in his mind and nodded decisively.
"Just do as you say!"
"We'll wait until the target leaves the underworld before we take action!"
The black street is a gray area with chaotic order, which is very suitable for killing people late at night, but it is precisely because of this that Hao Tu does not want to do anything in the black street.
Who knows if a oriole will pop out after a mantis catches a cicada?
Don't work so hard that others will benefit from you.
Just in case, it's better to do it outside the black street!
Dai Geng naturally knew this and nodded heavily when he heard this.
After deciding on the goal, both of them felt a little more relaxed.
Recently, the higher forces have been approaching, and they are in urgent need of a large number of corpses of practitioners. However, they are hiding in various places because of the pursuit of Zhiwu Hall, and there is no time to find prey.
In the end, I had no choice but to run to the underworld.
And the target in front of them is the first prey they look for after coming to the underworld!
As long as they capture this prey and hand it over to the higher ups, they can relax for a while.
Thinking of this, Hao Tu and Dai Gengju secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When they looked at the store again, their eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
