After a while, an old man with gray beard and hair came out, looked at Lu Chen and the two of them, and said, "I am Wu Ziqing, the elder of the World Business Alliance. It is a great thing for us that you two can kill Hu Gang.
So the reward of 20,000 yuan will definitely not be small, but this matter is a bit special, I would like to ask, how did you two kill Hu Gang?"
Lu Chen said calmly: "Will the World Business Alliance still care about how others complete their tasks?
As long as you can do it, that’s fine, right?”
Of course he wouldn't say that he beat a group of people alone. That would be hard to believe. In the eyes of others, it would seem like bragging, so he simply didn't say it.
"Having said that, this matter is a bit special, so I want to ask.
Originally, this was a private matter of the guest, and we are not in a position to interfere, but our Tianxia Merchant Alliance was robbed of an important item by Hu Gang, and the higher-ups are chasing after it urgently, so we need to know the clues."
Wu Ziqing explained patiently.
As one of the seven major sects, the Tianxia Business Alliance has no shortage of experts. However, every time they want to send experts to capture Hu Gang, they are unable to catch him. There is not a single person to be seen, so there is nothing they can do.
"What clues do you want to know?"
Lu Chen asked.
Hu Gang was dead, so even if there were any clues, there would be no clues. However, Lu Chen was very interested in the important item lost by the Tianxia Merchant Alliance, so he asked.
"We can't tell you what items are missing."
Wu Ziqing shook his head, "As far as we know, the lost item from our World Business Alliance was not robbed by Hu Gang himself, but was related to Hu Gang's group. These people's whereabouts are secretive and difficult to detect. We spent a lot of time
With great efforts, I only got the identity of Hu Gang. Hu Gang should also have a sworn brother, whose specific name is unknown. If you can catch that person, our World Business Alliance can reward you with 100,000 crystal stones, but
Must be captured alive."
"One hundred thousand crystal stones is indeed a lot."
Lu Chen smiled, but he did not agree rashly.
This matter is confusing. The enemy doesn't know who they are, so it is naturally not easy to handle. Moreover, it is much more difficult to capture the bandits alive than to kill them. According to his current understanding of the bandits, they are all desperadoes.
Lu Chen's strength is not difficult to kill, but it is still very laborious to capture him alive.
"If I can provide some clues about that person, what reward can the World Business Alliance give me?"
Lu Chen continued.
"Can you provide a clue?"
Wu Ziqing's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask: "What clues are there about the origin of that group of thieves?
If we can find out their lair, it will be easy, and there will be a heavy reward from the World Business Alliance."
Lu Chen took out a gleaming thick-backed knife, which was the trophy seized from Hu Gang.
"This knife is Hu Gang's side weapon."
Lu Chen said.
Wu Ziqing looked a little disappointed: "What kind of clue is a sidearm?
It would be great if he could be captured alive, but Hu Gang is extremely cunning and will not show up at all when encountering a master. When a warrior with a lower level of cultivation encounters him, let alone capture him alive, he cannot even save his life."
Wu Ziqing sighed repeatedly.
Lu Chen said: "This knife is already the best clue. I believe that with the ability of the World Business Alliance, we can find out something."
"How do you say this?"
Wu Ziqing asked puzzledly.
Lu Chen said: "I can see that this sword was recently refined, no more than two months ago. It should be a spiritual weapon that Hu Gang asked someone to forge. How many shops in Longshan City can create high-grade spiritual weapons?
Maybe there will be clues if you look it up."
Lu Chen himself is a master of weapon refining, so he can naturally tell at a glance that this sword was refining not long ago. This thick-backed sword is superior in its hard material and heavy weight, which is in line with Hu Gang's brave fighting style. It should be the weapon shop for him.
Tailor-made.
His speculation has a certain basis, but he himself is not omniscient and omnipotent, so the answer to this kind of matter can only be obtained after verification.
Wu Ziqing looked shocked: "How do you tell that this sword has not been refined for a long time?"
Lu Chen smiled and said: "This is easy. I have some experience in the art of refining weapons. I just judge based on experience."
In fact, he could see more things, and he could even determine what material the knife was made from. A rare material mixed in the knife aroused his great interest.
Of course, even an ordinary weapon-refining master cannot achieve this kind of vision and ability, so there is no need for him to show off too much.
"Okay, if we can really find out the clues, our merchant alliance will definitely reward you heavily."
Wu Ziqing turned around and said to a subordinate next to him: "Take this sword and see which weapons shop it was forged by. If you have any news, report it immediately."
"yes."
The man in Tsing Yi immediately walked out of the business alliance.
Wu Ziqing said to Lu Chen again: "You can be regarded as a distinguished guest of our World Business Alliance. Come, please sit inside."
Lu Chen and Su Xuan followed them to the lobby of the Tianxia Business Alliance. Not long after, Wu Ziqing brought up the 20,000 crystal stones that Lu Chen deserved.
Chase Lu put the 20,000 crystals in his bag and asked, "Elder Wu, may I ask if your business alliance has any top-quality fire herbs for sale?"
As the most famous chamber of commerce in the entire continent, the Tianxia Commercial Alliance does not do any business, but after all, this is just a branch of the Tianxia Commercial Alliance, and it is hard to say whether there are top-quality herbs.
When Wu Ziqing heard Lu Chen's inquiry, he couldn't help showing a look of satisfaction on his face: "What herbs do you need?
The World Business Alliance does not dare to be modest in this regard. As long as you can afford the price, our alliance has everything, and even if our branch does not have it, we can transport it from the main helm for you."
Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It would be best to use kylin grass or purple fire grass that is more than two thousand years old. I wonder if there is one?"
Wu Ziqing smiled slightly and said: "These two kinds of herbs are not cheap. The Kirin Herb Branch does not have them at the moment. If you need it, I can inform the Chief Helmet to deliver it. There are a lot of Purple Flame Herbs, but those that are more than two thousand years old will cost at least fifteen years."
The price of a Ten Thousand Crystal Stone plant and the Kirin Grass is higher than that of the two thousand-year-old Purple Flame Grass."
Lu Chen looked normal when he heard this, but Su Xuan couldn't help but open his mouth: "150,000 crystals, this..." Even if the two of them could get 50,000 crystals together by selling iron, that would be pretty good.
One hundred and fifty thousand is really too far off.
Lu Chen said calmly: "I don't have so many crystals now, but I will have them in a short time. I can't afford Purple Flame Grass for the time being. Are there any fire herbs worth about 40,000 crystals?"
To lift the curse in the body, he does not necessarily need fire herbs such as Kirin grass and Purple Flame grass. However, he is practicing the Lihuo Divine Art. With these two herbs, he can immediately increase the Lihuo profound energy to unlimited
Close to the level of real fire.
So even if he can't afford such herbs for the time being, he will still come back to buy them when he collects enough crystal stones later.
"Herbs worth 40,000 crystal stones."
Wu Ziqing thought for a while and said, "There is a herb called Earth Fire Ganoderma. I don't know if it meets your requirements. This herb is produced in the Dead Sea Desert and is worth about 40,000 crystal stones."
Chase Lu's expression perked up, he stood up and said, "This is the best, I need Earth Fire Ganoderma now."
The purpose of his coming to the Dead Sea Desert was to search for the Earth Fire Ganoderma, but he couldn't find it for a while, so he came to Longshan City.
In fact, given the value of Ganoderma lucidum, there are definitely many people looking for this herb. Lu Chen just went to the desert to try his luck. Unfortunately, his luck was not that good.
Then, Lu Chen followed Wu Ziqing to a large store and bought the Ganoderma lucidum.
I spent all the crystal trophies I got from the thief Hu Gang and the 20,000 crystals reward offered by the World Business Alliance. I also paid thousands of crystals to buy an Earth Fire Ganoderma.
However, Lu Chen was still very satisfied. This trip had achieved his greatest goal.
He asked Wu Ziqing for a room in the upper room, sat in the room and began to refine herbs to dissolve the curse in his body.
After directly swallowing the Earth Fire Ganoderma, Lu Chen used the Lihuo Divine Art with all his strength, and the Qingmu Dafa in his body also began to flow. The Qingmu Xuanqi was transformed into Lihuo Xuanqi according to the principle of the five elements' mutual generation. The fire attribute Xuanqi all over his body was immediately like lit hay.
, the flames burned fiercely on his body, making him look like he was in a sea of fire, and the whole house became hot.
Under the refining of this fierce fire power, the Earth Fire Ganoderma quickly transformed into abundant fire-attribute spiritual power. It was like pouring a large basin of oil on the fire, and the Lihuo Xuanqi increased violently.
The trace of curse hidden in Lu Chen's body was gradually resolved under the refining of abundant Lihuo Xuanqi.
Not only that, this trace of curse was re-refined by Lu Chen and turned into a powerful and pure spiritual energy.
You must know that no matter what kind of curse, it is essentially transformed from spiritual energy, but this kind of cold curse is mostly transformed by the spiritual power of Yin evil spirits. It is naturally not suitable for practicing fire-attribute skills. It is like water and fire being incompatible.
principle.
However, Lu Chen's Pulseless Divine Art can completely accommodate all kinds of mysterious energy. The sea is open to hundreds of rivers, and its capacity is great. Lu Chen's body is like the sea and rivers, and will not reject any mysterious energy.
Water and fire, two completely different mysteries, can easily lead to obsession in other people's bodies, but Lu Chen can make water and fire work together, taking him to the next level.
In this way, the curse placed on him by Nangong Lingxiao turned into a boost for his cultivation.
After all, Nangong Lingxiao is a first-rate master. This trace of pure cursed mysterious energy greatly strengthened Lu Chen's profound energy cultivation, allowing him to directly break through from the first level of innate to the second level, and reach the mid-level level of the second level.
Chase Lu stopped his efforts. This trip to the Desert of Death can now be regarded as a successful achievement.
However, he is not in a hurry to return to Nebula Sect. After all, the affairs of the World Business Alliance are not over yet, and there may be some unexpected surprises.
Walk out of the room.
Su Xuan was standing outside, practicing swordsmanship out of boredom.
"Brother Chen, has the curse in your body been resolved?"
Su Xuan asked.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Yes, there has been some progress in cultivation."
Being able to resolve the curse and solve a hidden danger is naturally good news. Not only that, but there is also a small breakthrough in cultivation, which is even more worthy of celebration.
At this time, a man who looked like a waiter hurried over and said, "Two distinguished guests, Elder Wu Ziqing is kind to you."
