Ever since he learned that there might be clues about the foundation-building pill recipe on the black market, Liang Sheng had been paying attention to this news.
As he has been observing the movements of Fangshi for so many days, he finally got something today. There is someone in the east of Fangshi who seems to have connections in the black market.
On this day, Liang Sheng walked around several alleys in a low-key manner, and his appearance was slightly adjusted every time he came out. After a few times, he looked completely different from his original appearance.
When he arrived in Fangshi East District, Liang Sheng found his target at first sight, because in front of a stall, there was a stall owner with a black cloth hanging over his eye, which was very recognizable.
Five levels of Qi training.
The stall owner's cultivation level is not too high, but he looks a bit fierce, so there aren't many people staying in front of his stall.
At this time, Liang Sheng did not stare closely at the opponent, but set up a stall not far away from him.
Liang Sheng placed several low-level talismans such as the Vajra Talisman and the Pure Heart Talisman on the stall, and then began to close his eyes and meditate.
People at other stalls couldn't help but glance at Liang Sheng when they saw the talismans, and then stopped paying attention. After all, he was just a third-level Qi-training casual cultivator, so there was really nothing worth noting.
Liang Sheng didn't care about this. This was the effect he wanted, and his perception had always been focused on the one-eyed dragon monk.
Then in the afternoon, people occasionally bought things from the Cyclops Monk's stall. During the conversation, Liang Sheng did not hear any clues about the black market.
However, Liang Sheng was not in a hurry, and even sold a few talismans during this period and harvested two low-grade spiritual stones.
Seeing that the sun was setting, Liang Sheng stood up and put away the stalls first. Then he wandered around several stalls, and then exited a stall cleanly as if he didn't see anything of interest.
The next day, Liang Sheng changed his appearance like yesterday and entered yesterday's stall again. However, he didn't know whether he came too early, but the one-eyed monk did not appear.
Liang Sheng was a little helpless when he saw this, but he was not in a hurry and continued to set up the stall. However, he did not expect that after two days, the one-eyed dragon monk did not show up.
It wasn't until the third day that the other party showed up, and Liang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. However, the other party's spirit was vaguely bad, which made Liang Sheng pay more attention.
Normally, monks would not be so tired. Unless they have consumed too much in the past three days, they would have such a reaction.
Moreover, he discovered that all the items on the One-Eyed Dragon stall had been replaced, and there was even a spiritual grass that was a year old. Although it was just an ordinary heart-nourishing grass, it was a rare thing that was only a year old.
After all, the spiritual grasses on the outskirts of the mountains and forests around Fang City have been found by casual cultivators for a long time. It is not easy for the one-eyed dragon monk to have a six-year-old annual heart-nourishing grass in his hands.
When Liang Sheng saw this, he immediately felt that he was not looking in the wrong direction. Maybe the other party did have clues about the black market. Otherwise, where did this heart-nourishing grass come from?
Liang Sheng thought for a while, then stood up and walked to the one-eyed dragon's stall, "How can I sell this heart-nourishing grass?"
The one-eyed monk raised his head slightly, glanced at Liang Sheng, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thirty low-grade spiritual stones."
Liang Sheng was stunned for a moment, a little in disbelief, and then said softly: "I wonder if it can be cheaper?"
The one-eyed dragon monk didn't even raise his head at this time, "I won't negotiate the price."
Liang Sheng pretended to be hesitant, hesitant, and finally sighed, "It's a pity that we didn't get the chance."
Liang Sheng shook his head and left. The one-eyed dragon didn't care, and the other immortal cultivators had no other reaction when they saw this.
After all, how many people can easily get thirty spiritual stones?
There are many casual cultivators in the city who are good at alchemy, but most of them are only half-level. The century-old heart-nourishing grass can refine a lot of elixirs, but who is sure that the alchemy will be successful?
But no one saw that when Liang Sheng turned around and left, a piece of talisman paper had been stuck to the one-eyed dragon monk, and then disappeared instantly.
This was the tracking talisman that Liang Sheng had refined before. With his cultivation, he could almost instantly apply the talisman to his body. When the sun went down, Liang Sheng would close the stall and go home.
The one-eyed dragon monk cannot escape his pursuit.
…
The other side.
Chen Mo was in a bad mood these days, because with Liang Sheng's reminder, he naturally discovered the tail behind him.
It turns out that someone is really following me secretly.
However, on the surface, he remained the same as before, but in his heart, he was thinking about who wanted to plot against him.
The Rhizome Rhizome itself has been handed over to Ding Yizhen. Is there anyone still thinking of replacing the resources obtained from Ding Yizhen?
Chen Mo didn't know about this, but Liang Sheng seemed to be in seclusion these days. He hadn't been seen for several days. In addition, he seemed to be in trouble, so he simply didn't bother him too much.
It is understandable that he avoids Liang Sheng. After all, Liang Sheng is only a casual cultivator at the third level of Qi training, and it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
If he were in Liang Sheng's situation, he would probably have the same choice as Liang Sheng, but Chen Mo didn't have to worry too much about his own safety for the time being. After all, there was generally no danger in Fang City.
Ding Yizhen did not just arrange for the three sects and six sects to maintain the safety of Fang City, but they all had the same attitude. This was actually the bottom line of Fang City.
If the casual cultivators really have a life-and-death grudge, they can leave the city, and no matter what they do, no one will care about them anymore.
Chen Mo was so upset that he simply stopped going out and used the past few days to stabilize the sixth level of Qi training.
As a result, Chen Mo stayed in Fangshi and did not go out, but it actually made the other party a little upset.
Qian Yongjian actually didn't expect that Chen Mo had no intention of leaving Fangshi after his breakthrough, so he couldn't help but become anxious.
He was determined to win this small piece of spiritual land that might exist. After waiting patiently for a while, he found that Chen Mo still had no intention of leaving Fangshi, so he finally made up his mind to meet Chen Mo.
On this day, Liang Sheng was refining talismans at home as usual, and in the afternoon he went to the east area of Fang City. At this time, the fireball talisman and water ball talisman in his hand were successful one after another.
Liang Sheng was naturally delighted, thinking that as long as he was given enough time, he would be able to achieve a 100% success rate with these two talismans.
Just when he was about to draw other types of talismans, Chen Mo suddenly came to the door with a jade slip in his hand, which made Liang Sheng a little strange.
"Qian Yongjian sent someone to contact me yesterday and said he wanted to invite me to have a cup of tea."
Qian Yongjian?
So straightforward?
Liang Sheng naturally knew who the other party was. After all, he had followed the other party to his cave. How could he not inquire about the other party's origins?
"Then are you ready to meet him?"
Chen Mo nodded when he heard this. Now he also wants to know why the other party is following him. Is there anything in him that is worthy of his concern?
After all, Qian Yongjian, who is at the eighth level of Qi training, is an unattainable existence in his eyes. He doesn't know how long it will take for him to break through to the eighth level of Qi training.
"This is the jade slip that opens the door to my cave. With it, you can enter and exit my cave freely. Fellow Daoist Zhou, if I can't come back..."
Before Chen Mo could finish speaking, he was rejected by Liang Sheng, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I don't have great ambitions, otherwise I wouldn't need to enter the market as a Talisman Maker.
I know that I am not blessed enough, so I just want to practice and live with peace of mind. Everything else has nothing to do with me. Cultivation is ultimately about fate."
Hearing Liang Sheng's words, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a little moved. He didn't expect that Liang Sheng had such a good nature, but he felt more and more relieved at this time.
It's a pity that no matter how much he tried to persuade, Liang Sheng refused to take the jade slip in his hand, "Fellow Daoist Chen, let's just open the skylight and speak frankly.
I'm just a casual cultivator at the third level of Qi training. I don't want to get into trouble, so don't hurt me.
Moreover, I see today that your Taoist friend's face is rosy and the sky is full, and he doesn't look like he is in danger, so you shouldn't worry unfoundedly."
Seeing this, Chen Mo finally stopped trying, but still sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have the Huatian Sect's Black Iron Order, otherwise I could give it to fellow Taoists.
Since fellow Taoists are so indifferent to their aspirations, they can actually live in the secular world, so that they don’t have to worry about their own safety."
Hearing this, Liang Sheng didn't know if Chen Mo's words were unintentional. Seeing Liang Sheng's appearance, Chen Mo patted his head again.
"Look at me, and forget that you don't understand many things. This is not a secret in Fangshi. Outside the thick fog in our Fangshi, there is actually a passage to enter the secular world.
The three sects and six sects all have this passage route, but the corresponding secular world is affiliated with the Huatian Sect, so only the Huatian Sect will go to the secular world after a period of time.
As for us casual cultivators, we can't go there because we will get lost in the thick fog. Besides, there probably aren't many people who are willing to go to the secular world.
It is rumored that hundreds of years ago, there were people from the Secular Dynasty who entered the Huatian Sect's shop with the Black Iron Order. There are even rumors that there were people from the Secular Dynasty who were accepted as closed disciples by the Hua Tianzong decades ago.
But when you think about it, this is a joke. How can a secular royal family have such a blessing of cultivating immortality? So no one cares about it.
But the secular world is dirty, and everyone wants to succeed in cultivating immortals and become immortals and ancestors, so who would really want to go to the secular world?"
Chen Mo suddenly became a little chatty, and Liang Sheng also realized at this time that Chen Mo was probably a little nervous because he was going to meet Qian Yongjian.
After all, how many people can ignore being cared about by an immortal cultivator at the eighth level of qi training, and remain normal as usual?
Fortunately, Chen Mo finally adjusted and regained his composure. Seeing Liang Sheng's decisive refusal, he simply stopped pressing and put the jade slip back into his cave.
However, after this incident, he felt more and more reassured about Chen Mo. Such people could indeed have a close relationship with each other, and he would not cause trouble if he was afraid of trouble.
It's just that he can't be so free and easy. He still wants to fight for the chance to succeed in cultivating immortality.
Chen Mo left the cave to meet Qian Yongjian. Liang Sheng was not staying in the cave at this time. He was ready to continue to explore the black market for clues.
But after so many days, he finally concluded the pattern of the appearance of the one-eyed dragon monk. It seemed that every seven days, the one-eyed dragon monk would disappear for three days, and then when he came back, something new would appear in his stall.
This seems to be like other casual cultivators who go out to find resources for cultivating immortals, but in fact this situation is a bit strange.
After all, which casual cultivator can guarantee that he will gain something every time he goes out?
This time, Liang Sheng left a message about the retreat outside the cave to prevent Chen Mo from coming to find him if nothing happened. Then he quietly left the cave. He had an attribute panel to hide himself, so naturally no one noticed that he left the cave.
In fact, even Ding Yizhen cannot monitor the entire city all the time, because Liang Sheng has already tested this situation.
Outside the city limits.
This is the first time Liang Sheng has left Fangshi. He is hiding in the mountains and forests to the east. This is the direction where the one-eyed dragon monk leaves Fangshi every time.
With the bright moon in the sky, the one-eyed dragon monk finally appeared in Liang Sheng's sight. He walked slowly all the way, looking left and right, cautiously.
He turned a few corners at this time, and finally went around in a circle and returned to the same place. He even used a detection charm to check the surrounding situation.
Finally, after he finally confirmed that there was nothing abnormal behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Liang Sheng couldn't help but secretly sigh that the other party was indeed a cautious person.
At this time, the one-eyed dragon took out a cloak from his backpack. This cloak actually concealed his face and breath.
Then he increased his speed and even used a lightening charm to make the person disappear in the blink of an eye.
Because Liang Sheng has an attribute panel, as long as he doesn't appear in front of the other party, it's impossible for the other party to detect him.
Therefore, although the one-eyed dragon monk is careful, how can Liang Sheng, who is at the tenth level of spiritual energy, lose track of his opponent?
After waiting for more than half an hour, the one-eyed dragon monk finally stopped, but there was a cliff in front of him.
The next moment, the one-eyed dragon monk didn't even stop. He moved forward without hesitation, and then his whole body merged into the cliff.
This is actually an illusion!
Liang Sheng couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this. Could it be that the person behind this black market is still an array master?
Because he saw the one-eyed dragon monk disappear before his eyes, he concentrated on carefully examining the cliffs in front of him, and then he discovered something strange about the cliffs in front of him.
If this were not the case, Liang Sheng might not have noticed the abnormality here due to his normal carelessness.
Fortunately, this is not the method of a foundation-building master. Although the opponent's formation is superb, the aura of the formation is still in the Qi-training realm.
Liang Sheng couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw this, but he didn't dare to act rashly. How could he act recklessly in the face of the illusion formation?
No wonder the one-eyed dragon monk had previously put on a cloak that concealed his aura. Not surprisingly, this cloak probably also had the formation engraved on it.
It is indeed the black market behind the market. If the people behind the scenes did not have such means, I am afraid that the black market would not have been able to exist for so long without major problems.
Liang Sheng still did not act rashly at this time and hid quietly around. In the next three days, many cloaked people entered the cliff. Liang Sheng carefully counted the number of people who entered and waited quietly.
Three days later.
A ripple appeared at the cliff illusion formation, and a cloaked man with a ninth level of Qi training appeared. His cloak was completely different.
He stood aside motionless, and then every once in a while, a cloaked man appeared. The total number of people who came out was more than what Liang Sheng had counted before.
In other words, before the one-eyed dragon monk, there should have been people entering the black market. This time, Liang Sheng was somewhat confident.
Judging from his behavior, the cloaked monk who had just appeared at the ninth level of Qi training seemed to be guarding the order of the black market's departure. When everyone left, he returned to the black market, and there was no movement after that.
Liang Sheng waited for another hour, until there was no movement on the cliff, and then took a look at the cliff disguised by the illusion formation, then suppressed his curiosity and quietly returned to Fang City again.
This black market seems to be more mysterious than I thought. I entered it hastily and I don't know if there is any danger, so it seems that this matter needs to be considered in the long term.
Liang Sheng was not in a hurry at this time, because time did not matter, the most important thing was his own safety.
Rogue cultivators have to fight for a chance of survival, and all they have to do is wait for the opportunity.
You don’t have to worry about cultivating immortality.
However, within a few days, Liang Sheng received news.
