In a foggy and dark cave living room, a man with a trace of black energy lingering all over his body was sitting on a wooden chair, staring at a spherical flower bud with orange leaves in his hand.
A spiritual grass wrapped in light yellow spiritual flames.
"Okay! Sure enough, it's the heart-burning grass. In terms of years, it's longer than I thought. Not bad!"
A look of satisfaction flashed in the man's eyes, and he laughed.
"How dare this disciple forget the mission assigned by Master Tian, but..." Liu Ming, who was standing by, saw this and hurriedly replied.
"Don't worry, I will definitely not break my promise to you! The whereabouts of the Void Monster are all recorded on this map. However, the place is very dangerous and it may not be easy to succeed. I would like to advise you to make more preparations.
It’s not too late to start again.”
"In addition, this monster has the cultivation level of true elixir. It's better for Master Liu to be careful. If you don't get this beast, it will become a delicious meal in his belly." Elder Tian was still staring at the spiritual grass in his hand, his head
He continued without raising his hand. At the same time, he raised his other hand and an old scroll was thrown out.
"Thank you, Master Tian, for reminding me!"
Liu Ming took the scroll, scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, carefully put it into the Sumeru Ring, and then thanked Elder Tian with clasped fists.
"Okay, if there is nothing else to do, please leave first." After Elder Tian got the spiritual grass, he hurriedly issued an order to expel the guests, as if he didn't want to be disturbed by too many people.
Seeing this, Liu Ming wisely said goodbye and left the cave.
Afterwards, he returned to the cave, hung up his thank you order, and concentrated on studying the map in his hand.
Two months have passed by in a blink of an eye.
During this period, Jialan came to Liuming Cave several times.
However, the two of them only exchanged some cultivation experiences every time and basically kept silent about the engagement. Afterwards, the woman left without saying much else, as if they were just ordinary friends.
In the eyes of those who were unaware of these scenes, they would naturally think that Liu Ming and Jialan had a close relationship and a very good relationship.
And Wen An didn't dare to have Jialan's idea anymore. Whenever he passed near Luoyou Peak and Piaomiao Peak, he would take a detour and never meet Liu Ming Jialan again.
On this day, Liu Ming checked on Xie'er and Fei'er again.
It turned out that although the two of them had recovered from their injuries, their auras still seemed a little weak, and they slept most of the day. It seemed that these two spiritual pets were unable to help with the search for the void beast.
.
After some thought, Liu Ming decided to leave the two of them in the secret room of the cave to recuperate. He casually gave them some instructions, opened all the restrictions inside and outside the cave, and left his cave. With a pinch of his sword, it turned into a golden light.
It flew away, and after a moment, it disappeared into the vast mountains.
A few months later, somewhere in the northwest of Zhongtian Continent.
Looking around, the ground is covered with luxuriant tall grass. When a gust of wind blows, it will ripple like sea water. The climate is extremely dry and cold.
At the end of the grassland is a large stretch of dark red mountains, layer upon layer. Looking to both sides, you can't see the edge at a glance.
At the entrance of a certain market on the edge of the mountain range, a golden light came through the sky. After the light faded, a young man in green robe fell from the sky.
After taking a few glances at the nearby guards, he walked out of the circle calmly and walked toward the nearby streets.
This young man is Liu Ming.
After he arrived here through the map given by Elder Tian, more than a dozen times and several months of traveling, he found that the nearby mountains were very huge and filled with all kinds of miasmas. Even if there was a map mark, if he wanted to find this void-type monster, he would have to find it.
It's not easy either.
Fortunately, before he set off, he read from the sect's classics that areas where void demon beasts were found were often accompanied by a rare second-level demon beast, the Amethyst Marten, which was born with an unusually sensitive sense of smell and especially liked the odor emitted by void-attribute demon beasts.
It has a strange smell that humans cannot detect, so it can effectively help monks track the exact whereabouts of void beasts.
Although the Amethyst Marten has a low level of cultivation, it is timid and cunning, and has several mysterious ways of concealing itself to save its life, so it is not easy to capture.
In addition, the amethyst mink is only half a foot long and has a very cute appearance. The hair on its body is soft, and it will glow with a faint layer of purple crystal light under the sunlight. It looks very gorgeous, so it is very popular among female nuns.
Like it, some female disciples from aristocratic families are even proud to have an amethyst marten as a spiritual pet.
As a result, in the market, as soon as the amethyst marten appears, it is often taken away by many female cultivators at a high price, making it even more difficult to see.
Half a month ago, Liu Ming found out that there was a shop called "Bai Lie Zhai" in this city that had sold amethyst mink many times, so he immediately rushed here without stopping.
There are not any big sects or families near this city, so there are not many people coming and going, and most of them are low-level casual cultivators who are only in the spiritual disciple stage and the liquid condensation stage. Occasionally, you can see a few
A person dressed like a member of a sect or family.
Therefore, in order not to attract attention, he put on an ordinary green robe and suppressed his aura to the point where he was only in the early stage of crystal transformation.
Liu Ming walked around for a while, then stopped at the intersection of two streets, in front of a small wooden attic four to five feet high.
But outside the attic window, there was a large white triangular flag hanging, and the three slightly crooked black characters "Bai Lie Zhai" were clearly visible.
After Liu Ming took a look, he smiled slightly and walked in without hesitation.
As soon as Fang stepped into the store, he was greeted by a tall man wearing tiger skin and snake boots, dressed like a barbarian.
"Senior, you are coming to the shop. Is there anything I can do for you?" The burly man glanced at Liu Ming and hurriedly clasped his fists in surprise and asked.
"I heard that you often sell amethyst martens here, are they still available now?" Liu Ming glanced at the various monster materials hanging in the store and asked directly without politeness.
"This amethyst marten was indeed sold in our store before, but this monster is not easy to catch..." Hearing this, the burly man hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice.
"Humph, what's the point of hesitating? As long as there is this beast, you will not lose any spiritual stone." Liu Ming felt happy in his heart, but on the surface he snorted and said coldly.
"Senior, please don't blame me. I don't have this beast in my shop anymore. However, I happened to hear that a friend caught one yesterday. It probably hasn't been sold yet. Senior, can you please sit down and wait for a while, so I can summon you and ask."
The big man only had the initial level of liquid condensation. After being glanced at by Liu Ming, he felt a thrill all over his body and he didn't dare to hesitate at all before replying immediately.
"There's no need to sit down. I'll be waiting here. Once the deal is concluded, your benefits will naturally be indispensable." Liu Ming said without thinking.
Hearing this, the burly man nodded hurriedly, and then walked to a secret room at the back of the store.
In fact, Liu Ming had already found out the details of this Baiyue Zhai. The owner of this shop was not a kind person. He did not keep the rare materials and monsters in the shop, but often used excuses such as being temporarily out of stock, price, and market to raise prices and seek huge profits.
Presumably the so-called friends are just words.
However, as long as he could successfully purchase the Amethyst Sable and some spiritual stones, Liu Ming didn't care.
After a while, the burly man walked out of the secret room and said with a smile on his face.
"Reporting back to senior, my brother does have an amethyst marten in his hand. He is willing to sell it to senior at a low price of 500,000 spiritual stones! However, it is not in the market, but is stored in his cave."
"Five million spirit stones?" Liu Ming's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he glanced coldly at the burly man.
This price is far from the around 200,000 spirit stones he inquired about before.
"Senior, what I don't know is that there are not many amethyst marten in the first place, and most of the places where they are caught are in dangerous areas where void monsters are infested. Four or five people often wait carefully and wait for several months before they can catch one.
Just. But since senior really wants it, I will make a suggestion for my friend and give him some discounts. How about 400,000 spirit stones? The 100,000 will be my tribute to senior on behalf of my friend. I hope senior can visit our store more and occasionally
I can also take care of you." The burly man said with a grin.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about the price anymore. Four hundred thousand is four hundred thousand, but how long will it take for your friend to deliver this amethyst marten?" Liu Ming asked sharply with his eyebrows raised.
"My friend lives in the nearby mountains. You can pick him up in three days, senior." The burly man was overjoyed and replied hurriedly and respectfully.
"Okay, I'll come back to you in three days! Hey, if you don't see this beast by then..."
After Liu Ming said a few words, he walked out of the store with a hey.
When the burly shopkeeper heard this, his face turned a little pale.
After Liu Ming left the shop, he randomly found a nearby inn specifically for monks to rest and stayed temporarily. He left Fangshi in a flash and returned to the inn where he stayed.
And just a short time after he left the Hundred Hunting House, a monk with a clear face and a rather handsome young man in white clothes walked in.
"Sir, what do you need? Our store has all kinds of materials related to monsters." The burly man hurried forward to greet him and said with a smile on his face.
"Is there any Amethyst Marten?" The monk in white asked straight to the point without talking nonsense.
"This... I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. We only have one amethyst marten in our store, and it was booked by a crystal-forming senior this morning." Hearing this, the burly man said in a daze.
"You call a mere crystal a senior, so who am I? I'm really a blind person!"
The monk in white looked cold when he heard this, and after a "boom" sound from his body, a powerful aura of the true elixir realm emitted without reservation.
The burly man who was only in the liquid condensation realm, although he was tall, could not withstand the shock of such spiritual pressure. With a "pop", he sat on the ground unprepared and there was no trace of blood on his face. (To be continued.)
