After a while, Shi Mu stepped into the courtyard and walked towards one of the houses, which was where he used his talisman room.
"Shitou, after all, we have been in this city for more than a year. It's so boring to stay in this place all day. With your current strength, are you sure you can escape when you meet Ao Kui?" Cai'er
complained.
"No, with my current strength, I may be able to barely fight against an ordinary mid-level earth-level person, but it will be difficult for me in the late-level earth level. Besides, Ao Kui is also the leader of the clan, so he must have some trump card, but I'm not sure he can.
You can run away." Shi Mu said.
"It would be great if Boss Yanluo was willing to take action." Cai'er said.
"Don't think too much, be careful around you and tell me if anything happens." Shi Mu said and continued walking towards the Talisman Room.
"Then how long do we have to stay here?" Cai'er said a little dejectedly.
"The city lord should have informed the top management of the Barbarians about the situation outside Rikang City or thought of other methods. The Barbarians will never allow this situation to continue. Otherwise, once the news spreads, other demon clans will follow suit.
That situation is not good for the barbarians," Shi Mu said.
"If that's the case, then I'll go." Cai'er said, fluttering her wings and flying into the air.
Shi Mu opened the door of the Talisman Room and walked in.
These days, Yanluo asks for spirit stones more and more frequently. In a few days, he will probably come to take the spirit stones, so he must prepare them in advance.
However, in this way, he also accumulated a lot of strange green flowers in his storage ring.
Two days later in the afternoon, Shi Mu left his residence and headed towards the shop of Ellamu, the owner of Nongmei Shop.
Walking on the street, Shi Mu looked at the crowd around him and frowned slightly.
Many people on the street looked strange and hurriedly gathered towards some restaurants and other crowded places, as if something had happened.
"Shitou, why do these people in the city feel a little weird today?" Cai'er also noticed something strange.
"It's indeed a bit strange." Shi Mu nodded. At this moment, he had walked to Ellamu's shop built of dark boulders.
"I'm going to sell the talisman first, and you go check around and see what happened." Shi Mu pondered for a moment and then ordered.
"Put it on me." Cai'er agreed and flapped her wings to fly.
Shi Mu stepped into the store, Ellam was standing behind the counter, and there were a few customers lingering in the store browsing.
"This fellow Taoist is here to visit our shop, but what does he need?" As soon as Shi Mu stepped into the shop, Ailamu immediately saw him, and the joy in his eyes flashed, but his attitude was tepid.
"I want to buy a batch of monster materials. The quantity is large. Is there any discount on the price?" Shi Mu said.
"No problem. Fellow Taoist, please move to Yage to discuss in detail." Ellamu nodded, asked the store clerk to take care of the business, and walked inside with Shi Mu.
The two entered a side hall. Ailamu waved his sleeves, and a burst of white light lit up the four walls of the side hall, opening a white barrier.
"Fellow Taoist Mu, please sit down." At this time, Ellamu's expression had changed.
The code words used by the two of them just now were used to prevent others from noticing Shi Mu's identity.
"You're welcome, these are the quota for this time." Shi Mu took out a stack of talismans and handed them to the other party.
Ailamu's face was filled with joy, and he hurriedly took it over, counted it, and his face became even more happy.
Among the talismans this time, there are more high-level talismans than last time.
The price of high-level talismans is much higher than that of mid-level talismans, and the quantity is very small, so the profit is extremely high, and he can earn a lot more spiritual stones.
"Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Mu. This time there are a lot of high-level talismans. According to the price we agreed on, there are a total of 21,000 spiritual stones." Ellamu said.
Shi Mu had already calculated this and nodded after hearing this.
"Fellow Daoist Mu, wait a moment." Ellamu walked out and came back soon, holding a small cloth bag in his hand and handing it to Shi Mu.
Shi Mu scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and found a small pile of mid-grade spiritual stones inside, the quantity was just right.
He put away the cloth bag, said hello to Elamu, and was about to walk outside.
"By the way, the atmosphere in the city seems a little strange today. Everyone seems to be in a hurry. Does the shop owner know what happened?" Shi Mu paused and asked.
"Oh, fellow Taoist Mu, haven't you heard about it?" Ailamu looked a little surprised when he heard this.
"What did you hear? I have been cultivating behind closed doors for the past few days and have basically not gone out," Shi Mu said.
"That's no wonder. In fact, there was a rumor in the city today, saying that Ao Kui, who had been entrenched outside the city for more than a year, had left a few days ago for unknown reasons, and is nowhere to be found," the shop owner said.
"Is this true?" Shi Mu was shocked when he heard this.
"I dare not judge whether it is true or not. However, it is said that the Lord of Youcan City has sent people out of the city to search for it, and it seems that there is really no trace of Ao Kui." The shopkeeper said.
"This is good news." When Shi Mu heard this, he suddenly showed a hint of joy.
"Is Fellow Daoist Mu also planning to leave the city?" Ailamu noticed Shi Mu's expression and asked.
"Yes, I've been here for such a long time, so it's time to leave." Shi Mu nodded.
"Fellow Taoist Mu, please take care of yourself. If you have the chance to pass by Rikang City again, don't forget to come and see me, an old friend!" Ellamu said with some regret.
Shi Mu obviously stayed here because of Aokui's siege. Otherwise, with his skills in making talismans, he probably wouldn't have stayed in this small town for so long. Once Shi Mu left, his business would not be possible.
.
However, he has already made a fortune during this period. The reason why he can establish himself in this city and expand his business is because he is a contented person.
"Haha, if Mu has the opportunity to come to Rikang City again in the future, he must come to visit Shopkeeper Ai. We still have opportunities to cooperate." Shi Mu said with a smile.
He and Ellamu chatted for a few more words, then quickly walked out of the store.
"Shitou, I heard some big news! Guess what it is!" As soon as he left the shop, Cai'er flew down on his shoulder and shouted.
"I've also heard that Ao Kui left, right?" Shi Mu said.
"Not bad! Many people who are trapped in the city are now forming groups and want to go out of the city together. We might as well take this opportunity to go out. We are really bored to death after staying here for so long." Cai'er said excitedly.
Shi Mu looked thoughtful, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"It's better to be cautious. Whether Ao Kui has really left is still unknown at this moment. Let's investigate clearly first."
With that said, he walked towards Tianwu Baoxuan.
Tianwu Baoxuan is well-informed and may know more about the situation outside the city.
…
While Shi Mu was talking to Ellam in Tianwu Baoxuan, Tianwu Baoxuan also welcomed two special guests.
In a side hall of the shop, there were several people sitting there divided among the guests of honor.
One of them, a tall old man in a green robe with upturned white eyebrows, was sitting on the main seat. Shopkeeper Shi, who had previously received Shi Mu, was standing behind the old man with a respectful expression.
The green-robed old man exuded a grand and steady aura, as if he was also an earth-level being.
There were two people sitting on the left-hand seat. One of them, a majestic middle-aged man wearing a purple gold crown, was none other than You Can, the lord of Rikang City.
Next to Youcan was a beautiful young woman in a gray dress, who was Pangyu, the leader of the branch of the Mingyue Sect in Kangcheng.
"Haha, I am deeply honored that Lord Youcheng and Lord Pang Tan came to our store at the same time." said the old man in green robe.
"You're welcome, Elder Wu. The two of us are here to chat. First of all, we want to say thank you to Elder Wu. Ao Kui outside the city will suddenly leave this time. It must be the handiwork of your chamber of commerce, right?" You Can's eyes flashed and he said with a smile.
.
"Lord Youcan City, you are overly praised. Our Tianwu Chamber of Commerce is just an ordinary chamber of commerce in Xihe Continent. We only do business. How can we have such great ability." The old man in green robe said calmly.
Youcan smiled and did not continue to dwell on the matter. He continued with a solemn expression:
"As for the other matter, after much deliberation, I can only leave it to the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce."
"Master Youcheng, please speak." The old man in green robe and shopkeeper Shi looked at each other and said.
"I want to entrust the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce to send a batch of things to Cangxu City and hand them over to the Lord of Cangxu City." You Can said.
"Cangxu City? Is it that big barbarian city about 20,000 miles west of here?" the old man in green robe asked.
"Exactly." Youcan nodded.
"Although Ao Kui has left now, as far as I know, before he left, he sent another earth-level monster from his clan to control the monsters outside the city. Leaving the city at this moment cannot ensure safety." The old man in green robe pondered.
After a moment, he said.
"Mr. Wu is being humble. With the name of Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, as long as you show your name, there won't be many people in Xihe Continent who dare not buy it. No matter how it is said that every injustice has its owner and its debtor has its owner, he, Mr. Ao Kui, may not be willing to do it.
This matter offends your Tianwu Chamber of Commerce." Youcan said.
The old man in green robe did not speak, but looked at Youcan calmly.
"As for the reward, don't worry, Mr. Wu, I will definitely satisfy you." Youcan continued.
"May I ask Lord Youcheng, what are you transporting?" The old man in green robe pondered for a moment and asked.
"Here is the list of items. Please take a look at it, Mr. Wu." Youcan said, with a flash of green light in his hand, he took out a jade slip and handed it to the old man in green robe.
The old man in green robe took it, and a trace of his spiritual consciousness penetrated it. His white eyebrows raised slightly, seeming a little moved.
"Okay, I will take care of this matter with the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce." The old man in green robe thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay! Then I'll leave it to Elder Wu. By the way, Fellow Taoist Pang Yu also happens to have something to send to the mainland, and I want to entrust it to your Chamber of Commerce." Youcan said, turning his eyes to Pang Yu beside him.
"Exactly, but the little girl entrusted less things. The location is a small city near Cangxu City. This is the list of items and the reward for escorting. Please take a look at it, Elder Wu." Pang Yu also took out a jade slip and handed it over.
