"Brother Shi, good news!" Yu Yi walked into the room and said slightly excitedly.
"But is there any news about the lava pool?" Shi Mu asked.
"I asked around and found that there are currently no extra lava pools for rent in the City Lord's Mansion. However, I asked the deacon of Xianhuoju in Chiyan Palace today. Among the dozen lava pools under the name of Xianhuoju, one of them was because of
The underground fire veins are unstable and the refining room has not been built, so it is currently vacant." Yu Yi continued.
"Would you consider renting out the lava pool in Xianhuoju?" Shi Mu's eyes lit up and he asked.
"The deacon said that we can consider it, but in exchange, they need to meet one condition." Yu Yi said.
"What are the conditions? Let me tell you." Shi Mu asked, feeling relieved in his heart.
It's a good thing to have conditions, so there will be a breakthrough.
"I need a demon elixir from the Fire Crown Demon Snake." Yu Yi hesitated and said.
"Fire Crown Demon Snake?" Shi Mu looked stunned. He had never heard of this kind of monster.
"This is an earth-level monster that lives deep in the Hundred Thousand Volcanoes. The main reason is that the valleys it lives in are often filled with fire miasma, making it impossible for ordinary people to approach. However, Brother Shi, you have a way to restrain the poisonous mist of fire miasma and sneak into the fire.
There should be no problem in the Miasma Valley," Yu Yi said.
Shi Mu nodded slowly. With his left hand, the fire miasma and poisonous mist did not pose much of a threat to him. However, this environment must be beneficial to the fire attribute monster. But he should be careful and find a fire at the early stage of the earth level.
The Crown Demon Snake shouldn't be a big problem.
"Why do the people of Immortal Fire Residence need the demon elixir of the Fire Crown Demonic Snake?" Shi Mu pondered for a moment and then asked.
"Brother Shi can rest assured. In fact, this matter is not a secret in Chiyan City. The son of Mr. Gongxi of Xianhuo Residence got seriously ill some time ago and needs a demon elixir from a powerful demon beast in the Hundred Thousand Volcanoes as a medicine.
Only in order to survive. The Immortal Fire Palace has offered a reward a few months ago. Anyone who can obtain this demon pill will receive a heavy reward from the Immortal Fire Palace. I also think that with Brother Shi’s strength, he should be able to obtain the Fire Crown Demonic Snake.
Demon Dan, just now went to ask the deacon of Xianhuoju about renting the lava pool." Yu Yi seemed to see Shi Mu's concerns and said.
"I see, Brother Yu is worrying about my affairs." Shi Mu's face softened after hearing this.
"Brother Shi, you're welcome." Yu Yi waved his hand quickly.
"However, this matter is important. It's not that I don't believe Brother Yu, but I hope to have a direct interview with the people from Xianhuo Ju." Shi Mu said.
"Of course. Since Brother Shi intends to take over this task, I will contact the people in Xianhuo Ju immediately." Yu Yi said with joy on his face, stood up, and walked out again in a hurry.
"Shitou, this Yu Yi is really enthusiastic about your affairs." Looking at Yu Yi's figure walking out of the courtyard, Cai'er said pointedly.
"Perhaps if I complete this task, he can get some benefits from it, but it doesn't matter. As long as we can successfully rent a lava pool, it is a trivial matter." Shi Mu said.
As Shi Mu said this, he took out the ancient book and continued to read it.
…
Early on the next morning, Shi Mu and Yu Yi arrived at a busy street in the inner city.
There are tall shops on both sides of the street, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians on the street. The two of them are in front of a five-story gorgeous loft building.
The attic building has red tiles and white walls, the door is open, the foyer is wide, and it looks very grand. There is a large plaque with gold characters on a black background hanging on the door, with the three characters "Xianhuoju" written on it.
On this bustling street, this Xianhuoju shop also feels like it stands out from the crowd.
Shi Mu and Yu Yi paused briefly at the door, then stepped in.
In the attic is a large hall, which is very wide, with a length and width of twenty or thirty feet. There are rows of white jade shelves, on which are placed various kinds of shining weapons, hundreds of them, impressively.
Each one is a magic weapon, and they all appear to be of intermediate level or above.
The business in the store is booming, and there is a green-clothed attendant standing next to every shelf, explaining the performance of various magical instruments on the shelf.
Shi Mu took a deep breath and secretly sighed at Xianhuoju's great effort.
"Seniors, what kind of magic weapon do you want? I can recommend you two." A green-clothed attendant came over with a smile on his face.
"We are not here to buy weapons." Yu Yi said, taking out a red jade charm from his arms and waving it.
"It turns out that the distinguished guests have arrived. Please follow me." Seeing this, the servant in green clothes said respectfully and led the two of them upstairs.
The second floor is a smaller exhibition hall. There are also several wooden shelves placed in it. However, these wooden shelves are all covered by formation restrictions. There are many spiritual weapons placed in it, and there are as many as 20 or 30 pieces.
.
In the exhibition hall, there were four or five people walking around and looking at each other. From the manners and manners of these people, it could be seen that their identities were unusual.
Shi Mu's heart moved, and he had a new understanding of the strength of Xianhuoju.
The three of them did not stay on the second floor, but walked directly towards the third floor and came to a small independent side hall.
"Two distinguished guests, please wait here." The attendant in green clothes gave them a cup of spiritual tea and walked out quickly.
Shi Mu and Yu Yi sat in silence, neither speaking.
After a while, the door to the side hall was pushed open, and an old man in black walked in.
This man looks to be in his fifties or sixties. Although there are some wrinkles on his face, his body looks extremely strong, and his hands and feet are thick. It seems that his palms are a little yellow because he is often close to the fire.
The old man in black robe stood upright, his eyes were sharp, and the aura he exuded was that of an earth-level being.
The black-robed old man was accompanied by a red-robed middle-aged man, who was the deacon of the Immortal Fire Residence who was in the Chiyan Palace yesterday.
"Master Gongxi! Steward Wan!" When Yu Yi saw the old man in black robe walking in, he stood up quickly with a respectful look on his face.
Shi Mu also stood up and looked at the old man in black robe.
The old man in black robe glanced at Yu Yi, then moved his gaze away and landed on Shi Mu. He looked up and down and frowned.
"This is the candidate you told me about? How can you achieve anything with only late-stage Xiantian cultivation! Boy Yu, are you looking to make me happy?" The old man in black robe looked at the middle-aged man in red robe, his voice was low.
The middle-aged man in red robe looked at Shi Mu, feeling a little annoyed. He stared at Yu Yi and asked:
"Brother Yu, what's going on? Didn't you say yesterday that you found a master and were 50% sure that you could get the Fire Crown Demonic Snake's elixir?"
"How dare I talk nonsense? This fellow Daoist Shi is my good friend. Although his cultivation level is only at the late stage of Xiantian, he is very powerful. I saw with my own eyes yesterday that he easily killed a red-winged tiger monster single-handedly. Moreover, Brother Shi still has means to restrain it.
The fire miasma and poisonous mist will definitely be able to successfully complete the mission." Yu Yi said hurriedly.
"Killed the red-winged tiger demon!" Hearing this, the old man in black robe and the middle-aged man in red robe looked at each other wildly.
"What can this fellow Taoist prove?" the red-robed middle-aged man looked at Shi Mu and asked.
Shi Mu didn't say anything. He waved his hand and a fist-sized crimson elixir appeared in front of him, emitting powerful waves of vitality. It was the demon elixir of the red-winged tiger demon.
The expressions of the two old men in black robes changed slightly, but the old man in black robes did not loosen his frown.
"Even if there is a demon pill, it can't prove that it was you who killed me." The old man in black robe asked.
Shi Mu chuckled lightly, and with a thought, he activated the power of the totem in his body, and a powerful aura emanated from his body.
The aura is so strong that it has reached the earthly level.
"I'm sorry, it turns out that your Excellency is also an earthly being, but I made a mistake." The casual expression on the face of the old man in black robe suddenly disappeared, and he cupped his hands and said.
Yu Yi was dumbfounded and looked at Shi Mu blankly.
Shi Mu had given him too many shocks in the past few days, but he had actually hidden his strength before.
"Mr. Gongxi, you're too polite. I'm used to restraining my aura on weekdays, so please don't be offended," Shi Mu said.
"Haha, this is human nature and there is nothing wrong with it." The old man in black robe waved his hand and said.
"However, Fellow Taoist Shi's secret technique of concealing aura is really brilliant. I asked myself that the power of induction is not weak, but I didn't notice it at all." The old man in black robe then took a deep look at Shi Mu and said.
"Mr. Gongxi, thank you. Since I have fulfilled Master Gongxi's request, how about we talk about the specifics of the mission? Since you want to hunt down the Fire Crown Demon Snake, do you have any clues about this beast?" Shi Mu Saran
Smiled and said.
"Of course." The old man in black robe said quickly and glanced at the middle-aged man in red robe.
The latter quickly agreed, took out a jade slip from his arms and handed it to Shi Mu.
"I have been sending people to explore the Shiwan Volcano these days. Last month, I finally found a fire-crested demon snake in the early stage of the earth in a fire-stricken valley. I have sent several groups of experts before and after, but this snake
It was quite cunning, and due to the fire miasma, no one succeeded, and several fellow Taoists died inside." The old man in black robe sighed.
Shi Mu raised his eyebrows, took the jade slip, and put it on his forehead, his spiritual consciousness seeping into it.
In the jade slip is a map of one hundred thousand volcanoes, with a place marked on it.
Shi Mu has studied a lot of information about Shiwan Volcano in the past two days. Naturally, he has also seen the map of Shiwan Volcano. This location is thousands of miles away from Chiyan City and is already deep inside Shiwan Volcano.
Well, luckily Master Gongxi was able to find it.
"Now that we know the location, I'll go there now and I'll definitely come back in a week with the Fire Crown Demonic Snake's elixir." Shi Mu put away the jade slip and said.
"If fellow Taoist Shi can really bring back the demon pill, I will definitely abide by the agreement and rent a lava pool under the gate of Xianhuo Residence to fellow Taoist Taoist for five years, and the rent will only be half." The eyes of the old man in black robes showed hope, and his expression
Said solemnly.
"Okay, it's settled." Shi Mu said with joy in his eyes.
Shi Mu quickly said goodbye and left, walking out of Xianhuo Residence with Yu Yi.
"Brother Yu, I'm going to set off now. I've given you a lot of trouble these past two days." After walking out of Xianhuo Residence, Shi Mu said to Yu Yi.
"Shi...Senior, there's no need to be polite. What I'm doing is just some trivial things to pull the strings, so it's nothing to worry about." Yu Yi said with a respectful expression.
"Brother Yu, you and I are old acquaintances, there is no need to be so alienated," Shi Mu said. (To be continued.)
