Half an hour later, Shi Mu arrived at the gate of the courtyard where the demon tribe rested.●⌒,
He paused briefly at the door, then stepped in.
"Qingcang, you came back a little late today."
As soon as he entered the courtyard, a tall monster with the head of a bear and the body of a bear came towards him. When he saw Shi Mu, he said hello.
Shi Mu glanced at the other person, said nothing, and walked straight past him.
In the past month, through Cai'er's secret observation, he has investigated the names of all the monsters in the courtyard. The man in front of him from the Barbarian Bear Tribe is the most cultivated among the monsters who came to Scarlet Flame City.
One, headed by the demons, is one of the few people who occasionally interacts with Qingcang.
The man from the Barbarian Bear Demon Clan didn't care when he saw this. Qing Cang was withdrawn and had a weird temper. He was sometimes cold and hot towards his leader.
He glanced at Shi Mu's walking back and frowned, as if he felt something was wrong, but then he shook his head and put the thought away.
Shi Mu walked through several corridors in the courtyard, returned to Qingcang's residence, and closed the door heavily.
Several demon clans living nearby heard the slamming of the door and frowned, feeling displeased, but they didn't say anything.
Shi Mu sat down on the bed in the house, closed his eyes and rested.
Cai'er is staying outside at the moment. Through the sharing of vision, every move of all the monsters in the courtyard is under his control.
From the current point of view, no one should be aware of his identity. Otherwise, with his current level of cultivation, it would be extremely easy to deal with one or two demon clans without anyone noticing.
After a while, Shi Mu opened his eyes and took out Qingcang's storage bracelet. After the blood sacrifice, his spiritual consciousness penetrated into it.
The space inside is not big, much smaller than his Miaochen Ring, and most of the space inside is already filled with things.
Shi Mu waved his hand, and a bone jade slip appeared in his hand. This was the list of supplies Qingcang was ordered to purchase this time.
Most of the supplies in the bracelet were what was listed on the list. He checked and found that he had basically bought them all, with some mid-level talismans still missing.
Shi Mu chuckled lightly and did not dare to say anything else. He naturally had as many talismans as he wanted.
He casually took out a stack of talismans and put them into his bracelet. After thinking about it, he took out a few more high-level talismans and stuffed them in.
The Earth Snake Tribe has allocated few spirit stones for this procurement mission. It is not easy to buy all the materials listed in it. However, the reason why Qingcang is willing to take it is because if he can complete the task well, he will eventually be selected by the tribe.
The chances of participating in the Transformation Ceremony will be increased.
This is the news that Cai'er and Yu Yi got from the other demon clans. Those demon clans took on tasks from their respective clans and came here for this purpose.
Shi Mu was thinking in his mind, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated the bracelet again.
Although the goods inside are fully purchased, the quality is not very good.
Shi Mu secretly made up his mind.
In the next half month, Shi Mu, as Qingcang, frequently visited major shops in Chiyan City.
Half a month later, the time limit for the return trip finally came. All the monsters in the courtyard packed up and arrived at the teleportation hall at the top of the Black Flame Peak in the center of the city.
The teleportation hall is very large, an open hall with a length of forty to fifty feet.
In the center of the hall is a white circular high platform with an area of four or five sheets. Countless ancient runes are engraved on it, forming a grand formation.
Surrounding the high platform are stone pillars with golden runes on them, which are connected with the formation runes on the ground to form a majestic teleportation formation.
The magic circle emits a scorching golden light, and the mana fluctuations emanating from it can be clearly sensed from a distance.
This was Shi Mu's first time here, but he didn't look around, he just looked at the ground. Cai'er stood on his shoulder, looking around like an ordinary parrot.
Although the surrounding demon clan felt a little strange about Cai'er's sudden appearance, they couldn't ask more questions if Shi Mu didn't say anything.
After all, there are many demon clans who keep spiritual pets. There are shops specializing in selling such spiritual pets in Chiyan City, and other demon clans don't find it strange.
There are several stone tables in the main hall, and behind the stone tables are sitting five or six red-robed barbarians. Judging from their clothes, they are people from the Lord's Mansion of Chiyan City.
A tall figure walked out of the group of monsters. It was the man from the Barbarian Bear Clan. He stepped forward to negotiate with the men in red robes and handed over a bag of spiritual stones.
Shi Mu has stayed in Chiyan City for three years. Although he has never been here, he still asked Yu Yi specifically for information about teleportation.
From here, you can teleport to Hell City, with a maximum of fifty people at a time. The fee is based on the person's head, and each person has one thousand spirit stones. It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either.
There were only about twenty people in this group of monsters. After paying the fee, they waited aside. After waiting for about half an hour, another group of monsters and a few barbarians came, and then they gathered fifty people and boarded.
Climb up to the white high platform.
With a flash of dazzling golden light, Shi Mu and others' vision recovered, and they appeared in another hall of similar size.
"I was exhausted from this trip. I'm finally back. Let's go." The man from the Barbarian Bear tribe stretched his body and said as he walked out of the main hall.
The expressions on the faces of the other demon tribes were much more relaxed at this moment, and they were walking side by side in twos and threes.
Shi Mu was alone, walking step by step behind everyone, and quickly left the hall.
The Teleportation Hall is built on the top of a huge black tower that is a hundred feet high. This giant tower is the landmark building of Hell City, just like the Black Flame Mountain of Scarlet Flame City.
From here, you can have a panoramic view of everything in Hell City.
Compared with Chiyan City, the buildings here are more wild and rough, with obvious demon characteristics.
At a glance, most of the people in the city are half-transformed monsters, and the human and barbarian races are almost invisible.
Shi Mu and others did not stay at the top of the tower any longer, and each used their own methods to fly downwards.
…
Three months later, the Earth Snake Tribe was in a huge tent somewhere.
A young demon man in a gray robe with the head of a snake and the body of a snake was reporting something to an old demon man sitting on the chair with a respectful expression.
The young man from the demon tribe is Shi Mu.
"Uncle An, you always said before that you wanted to buy more high-grade magic weapons. However, there are not many supplies in Chiyan City recently. I spent a lot of effort to get the quantity together. Then I used the remaining spiritual stones to make my own decisions and bought them.
I want you to test some high-end talismans first." Shi Mu said, handing over a crude storage bracelet.
Master An took the bracelet and raised one hand, and a large number of various things appeared in the room.
He only had a quick glance at the magical weapons among them. When he saw a stack of talismans of different colors, his expression condensed and he began to examine them carefully.
"This is the Thunder Cloud Storm Talisman... and the Frost Sky Water Blade Talisman!"
After a while, Master An touched his beard, nodded with satisfaction, and said:
"Haha, Qingcang, you're good at it! You always surprise me every time you go out."
"Thanks to Master An, I was lucky enough to meet someone who was in urgent need of spiritual stones, so I bought these two high-level talismans for only a few spiritual stones, as a way of honoring Master An." Shi Mu said.
"Okay, okay, you can teach me! I don't need to inspect the remaining goods. Speaking of which, you have saved a lot of spiritual stones for this clan these few times! Even the clan leader praised you highly. Hehe
"Why haven't I discovered such a talent like you before!" Master An put away the two high-level talismans without politeness, and then said with a smile.
"Master An is so complimentary." Shi Mu was overjoyed and said modestly.
After leaving the tent, Shi Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked toward the edge of the tribe, in the direction of the small tent where he lived.
Since joining the Earth Snake Clan, the several purchases he has been responsible for were not only completed quickly and well, but also came with several high-level talismans drawn by himself from time to time.
Due to some innate reasons, most of the demon clan are not good at magic, so there is also a large demand for powerful and easy-to-use talismans.
These actions of Shi Mu are naturally of extraordinary significance to these demon clans that have been at war all year round, especially for small tribes like the Earth Snake Tribe that are dependent on the three major demon clans.
Although I put in a lot of spirit stone materials for this, it was all worth it.
Through private inquiries, I found that the honors he had accumulated in the clan over the past few months were enough to rank among the top three. Judging from what I learned so far, the higher-ups in the clan, including the clan leader, had begun to take notice of him.
In the Lingtian Peak Transformation Ceremony one month later, the Earth Snake Division will have ten places to participate. If nothing else happens, they will definitely have their own share.
As a result, early the next morning, Shi Mu received a message from someone saying that it was the clan leader who had summoned him.
Upon hearing the news, Shi Mu left his residence without saying a word and walked quickly towards the largest tent in the center of the tribe.
As soon as he entered the tent, Shi Mu found that there were already many Xiantian people from the Snake Clan standing on both sides of the tent.
Seeing Shi Mu walking in, many people turned their heads.
Speaking of which, Qing Cang was not very popular among the tribe. Most people just glanced at him and immediately turned back, obviously not knowing Qing Cang.
Shi Mu naturally wanted this. At this moment, he regained Qingcang's indifferent expression, found a corner, and sat down cross-legged.
After a while, the leader of the Earth Snake tribe and four elders including Master An also came to the meeting hall.
The leader of the Earth Snake Tribe is an old man who looks a little thin. His cultivation level is in the middle of the Earth Level. Most of his body has been transformed, but there are still some snake scales on his face and arms.
The clan leader walked directly to the depths of the tent and sat in the middle, while the four elders took their seats on the left and right.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let me make the story short. I have called everyone here this time to announce something important that affects the rise and fall of the clan." The clan leader said.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the whole place became tense. Everyone looked at the clan leader and stopped talking.
"You must all know that the Lingtian Peak Transformation Ceremony, which is held once every ten years, will be held at the beginning of next month. Now there is not much time left. This clan also has ten quotas. As for the selection issue, I and several clan members
After discussion among the elders, a preliminary decision has been made." The patriarch paused, looked to the right, and made a gesture.
Next to him, a young-looking elder with gray hair took out a scroll. After unfolding it, there were ten people listed on the list, and Qingcang was on the list, and he was ranked tenth.
Everyone looked at the list and started talking. Some were happy and others were sad for a while. Everyone knew what it meant to participate in the Transformation Ceremony. For the innate demon clan, if they could obtain the Transformation Pill in the competition, they could advance to the next level.
The Earth Level is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for a small tribe like them.
"What a risk!"
Shi Mu smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect that with the honor of ranking third in the clan, he could only be ranked tenth. However, it didn't matter what the ranking was, as long as he could go, otherwise his plan would have to be done again this time.
There were a lot of twists and turns.
Suddenly, he saw Master An glance at him and nodded slightly.
Shi Mu's heart moved. It seemed that his previous filial piety was not in vain. It seemed that Master An had earned his tenth place.
"Okay, those on the list can go back and prepare for departure in three days." The leader of the Earth Snake Tribe said.
"Disciple is not convinced, why can Qingcang go? Disciple thinks he is no worse than him in terms of strength and qualifications!" A tribesman in black suddenly shouted. (To be continued.)
