Yin Corpse Sect, Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Spirit Severing Nail

Heavenly Sound Sect actually sent people to explore the ruins, but I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Many times in the past, several large sects would meet each other, and then join forces to block the entrance to the ruins, prohibiting unrelated monks from entering to pick up leaks.

If this really happens, the casual cultivators nearby can only stare and consider themselves unlucky.

Xiao Chen is now a casual cultivator and has no personal connections in Eastern Domain. Of course, he does not want to encounter such a situation.

So it was inevitable that I would pay more attention to it.

As a result, Cao Mingjie happened to see this scene.

He glanced at the southeast corner and shook his head slightly. "Daoist Jinguang, you have to be careful. I heard that the female cultivators from the Heavenly Sound Sect have bad tempers."

"There have been cases where some casual cultivators were beaten until they vomited blood and were seriously injured because they stared at them."

Huh?

Xiao Chen looked back. "Is there such a thing?"

I'm afraid this is more than just a bad temper, right?

"That's a lot. Similar situations happen almost every year."

Cao Mingjie said with a hint of schadenfreude in his tone, "Especially Heavenly Sound Sect, the contemporary chief Fairy Su Ruo, who has a high level of cultivation and is ruthless. I heard that he has ruined the lives of several casual cultivators."

"But it seems like she didn't come. There should only be a few sect stewards sitting there."

"By the way, there is one more thing that Daoist friends should be careful about."

Cao Mingjie lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Heavenly Sound Sect female cultivators particularly like the art of keeping one's face."

"Although they seem to be quite young, they may be older than you and me."

Most monks don't particularly care about their appearance. After all, once they reach a high level of cultivation, they will definitely not be ugly as long as there are no obvious congenital defects.

At the same time, he does not deliberately control the changes in his appearance, so he can roughly judge his age based on his appearance.

Except for monks who have taken Youth Preservation Pill, their true age cannot be seen just from their appearance.

While talking, bursts of discussion suddenly came from the door.

"Is that a disciple of the Yin Corpse Sect?"

"It seems to me like, why would a normal person cover up his whole body?"

"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear it. No, why did he come this way?"

The casual cultivators at the table at the door immediately lowered their heads to eat, almost burying their faces in their bowls.

Soon Xiao Chen saw Zhi Ke at the door of the restaurant, walking in with three special guests.

The leader is Black Robe Youth Cultivator with a gloomy face and cold eyes.

Behind him were two companions whose whole bodies were wrapped tightly in black cloth strips, with their eyes and noses not exposed.

"There is an empty table here, please sit here."

Zhike greeted the other party and sat in the northwest corner of the hall, next to Xiao Chen and others. The two sides were about six feet apart.

This is not intentional, mainly because there have been too many guests in the past few days, and the hall is basically full.

However, even though the three of them were seated together, they only saw the young man ordering three dishes alone and only pouring himself a cup of tea.

Although the other two companions sat down together, their backs were straight and their seats were upright.

His hands naturally dropped to his sides, his fingers and knees were together, and then he remained motionless and did not speak.

Such a special situation immediately attracted Xiao Chen's attention.

Including the other monks in the hall, they all looked over here intentionally or unintentionally.

However, the young man seemed to be used to being looked at by others, and he still drank tea alone with an expressionless face.

"What bad luck, let's go!"

Suddenly a charming female voice sounded, and the three female nuns from the Heavenly Sound Sect stood up.

One of them went to pay the bill with the shopkeeper, while the other two frowned and glared at the young man in black robe.

Then he quickly went to the door to wait for his companions, as if he didn't want to stay in the same room for any longer.

Then there was a faint comforting voice. "Senior sister, don't be angry, let's eat somewhere else."

"Forget it, there's no appetite for food. Bringing dead people to the table is just a bunch of perverts."

Huh?

Xiao Chen looked at the two monks wrapped in black cloth again. They were still motionless and seemed to have no reaction to what was happening around them.

The young man in black robe frowned slightly when he heard this.

But he glanced at the female nun's purse in the store and didn't say much.

However, many monks, especially those who came from the Inner Sea for the relics, opened their eyes in surprise.

Hiss~!

Xiao Chen couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The main reason is that Eastern Domain claimed a long time ago that the demonic cultivators have disappeared and there will no longer be any chaos caused by the demonic sect.

So he really hadn't thought in that direction before.

Who knew that Yin Corpse Sect was really not hiding at all, raising Corpse Puppet openly, and even dared to bring it out on the street in broad daylight.

No, isn't this considered a magical way?

If it were Southern Domain, it would have been notified to the nearest sect by now, and manpower would be mobilized to start Exterminate Demons and Defend the Dao.

Then Xiao Chen realized that Lightless Sea's most powerful sect was Yin Corpse Sect.

Ah, this... isn't right either. What about other righteous sects?

No one cares?

Especially Demon Slayer Sword Sect, what are you doing?

Xiao Chen I really can't figure it out, but since the facts are right in front of me, I guess there must be some special secret in it.

Looking back, Inner Sea had no idea about this at all.

It seems that this level of secrecy is not something that ordinary Golden Core cultivator can have access to.

"Daoist Jinguang Have you eaten yet?"

Yu Zhenyang asked in a low voice, "How about we leave first."

As Heavenly Sound Sect took the lead, two more tables of monks also stood up to pay.

However, they did not dare to discuss it and left in a hurry.

Of course, there are also monks who hang out with the Outer Sea all year round but don't care and continue to eat and drink.

"I'm done eating, let's go."

Xiao Chen nodded, and the five of them went out together, turning directly across the street before stopping.

"After many years, I have to visit some old friends first and see if I can get some news. How many days will we meet again?"

Qiu Fanghui spoke first and seemed to be acting alone.

"No problem, Daoist Qiu you have many old friends, it's time to meet them."

Yu Zhenyang smiled and asked, "Then let's meet on the boat in three... five days?"

The ruins were about to be opened, and he was counting on the other party to help.

"It's been a bit stressful for five days. It's not like you don't know that I have a lot of friends here."

Qiu Fanghui pretended to be worried. "Try my best, I'll try my best to come here in time, but I can't say I'll be available."

Cao Mingjie immediately smiled and said, "We can all understand that a person like Daoist Qiu will of course have friends wherever he goes."

Yu Zhenyang also echoed, "Daoist Qiu, although we are busy, we will use this time to prepare well."

"Five days is not enough, then six or seven days. In short, we will wait for you on the boat."

Qiu Fanghui felt proud and had a bright smile on his face, "Don't worry, I will try to join you as soon as possible."

"After all, I am also very greedy for the treasures in the ruins."

.

After watching Qiu Fanghui leave.

Yu Zhenyang looked at Xiao Chen: "Daoist Jinguang, we are going to go back to the spirit ship to make some Talisman for later use."

"Should we go back together to prepare, or should we meet up later?"

As he said that, he patted his head. "Look at my memory. I don't know yet, which kind of Dao Arts has my fellow Daoist practiced at the same time?"

Xiao Chen shook his head. "I studied Pill Dao for a while in my early years, but then I was busy and didn't bother to continue studying. It's not worth mentioning."

"I just want to hang out nearby, why don't we meet again in a few days."

Yu Zhenyang nodded. "That's fine, then let's make an agreement and see you on the boat in five days."

"If you don't plan to go far away, fellow Daoist, you can also go back to the boat to rest at night."

Cao Mingjie waved goodbye, but did not forget to warn, "Daoist Jinguang, Outer Sea is a bit chaotic, so be more careful when you are alone."

"Be especially careful not to go to Blackwater Zone, there are a lot of Bandit Cultivator there."

Xiao Chen also waved. "Okay, I understand."

But if you know you know it, you should definitely go and see it.

You are here, you are not allowed to go out to see how the fish are doing.

If you can meet Third-tier Sea Fish, even Demon Core hairtail meat is a good thing.

Of course, before that, Xiao Chen plans to take a tour inside East Market and compare the prices of the Outer Sea.

I visited a few stores a little bit.

I have to say that the prices of things here are obviously polarized.

The price of various spiritual objects, especially the natural spiritual objects related to the sea, is generally more than 20% lower than Inner Sea.

On the contrary, the price of some magic pills, Spirit Artifact, is much more expensive.

Anyway, Xiao Chen looked at hundreds of Spirit Artifact, and none of them were priced lower than 150,000 Spirit Stone.

If you can make good use of this gap, you can make a lot of money Spirit Stone by switching supplies back and forth between the two sides.

Of course, judging from the results, only a few chambers of commerce are relatively stable and have the ability to fight against Bandit Cultivator along the way or bear losses.

"East Market's things don't seem to have any special features."

Xiao Chen is a little disappointed. Most of the things here are also sold at the Inner Sea. In short, there are no surprises.

What's more important is that there are no stores that recycle Spirit Artifact and Spirit Herb at high prices.

I got a lot of Spirit Artifact from the Southern Lao Sea before, but it was not convenient to sell them locally.

Now that Outer Sea is here, Xiao Chen naturally wants to get rid of it and replace it with Spirit Stone.

However, the highest recycling price for East Market is only Fifty Thousand Spirit Stones, which is directly cut in half. This is really too low.

He thought for a while, "Let's go to West Market first to see the situation of the street stalls."

Besides, he is now a casual cultivator, and setting up a street stall is very consistent with his current status.

So Xiao Chen turned around and came to the west side of the island, and then saw a cluster of buildings and various exquisite signboards.

How can I put it, this place looks at least ten times more prosperous than East Market!

Looking around, you can't see the imagined scene of a group of vendors setting up stalls.

On the contrary, they are all large lofts that are more spacious than Hundred Herbs City, and each one has been built seven or eight stories high.

If it weren't for the nine-story Formation Tower in the middle as a restriction, Xiao Chen doubts that these houses would be built higher.

Hiss~!

What is this situation?

He walked into the nearest store, called Rare Weapon Workshop.

As expected, there are numerous Spirit Artifacts for sale, arranged in rows and rows on the shelves.

However, Xiao Chen soon discovered that except for Spirit Artifact placed in the outer row.

Many of the Spirit Artifacts on the shelves at the back have obvious battle marks.

Some of them even look like antiques dug out of a certain Secret Realm at first glance. They look like they are hundreds of years old.

But don't mention it, something like this is more in line with Xiao Chen's inherent impression of street stalls.

It's just that now it's specially placed in a house for sale.

Another difference is that there are no Zhike to receive guests here.

Except for a steward at the front and back door who is responsible for collecting money, there is not even a person in charge of maintenance in the middle.

Xiao Chen On one of the rows of shelves, I saw Spirit Artifact that had been obviously messed up by previous customers.

But I didn't see anyone coming to clean it up or organize it.

"Can I accept Spirit Artifact here?"

"Turn right on the second floor and look for Old Song."

The so-called Old Song is a small, thin old man with a goatee.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the Bright Silver Red Tassel Spear, Narrow Blade Spirit Combining Saber, etc. that Xiao Chen took out.

"Of these things you have, this Embroidered Landscape Seal is pretty good. I can give you 120,000 Spirit Stone."

Old Song touched the tip of his beard and said, "A total of 470,000 Spirit Stone will be given to you. I will write the deed right now as to how many pieces you are willing to sell."

From beginning to end, he only checked the quality and condition of Spirit Artifact itself.

He didn't ask any questions about the origin of these Spirit Artifact, nor did he just make innuendoes.

"All sold!"

Xiao Chen didn't hesitate. He didn't need these things anyway, so he might as well cash them out directly.

"Four hundred and seventy thousand Spirit Stone, you can count it clearly."

Old Song handed over a Spirit Stone Pouch and pointed at the sandalwood door. "Go back through this door. Our store will not be responsible for any missing items."

Good guy, why does this sound like a black shop?

Xiao Chen heard this and counted it carefully Spirit Stone: "Wait a minute, why are there only 446,000 yuan here Spirit Stone."

"How can such a big man be illiterate?"

Old Song stretched out his right hand and pointed at the notice on the wall on the right. "You come here to sell things, you are not allowed to charge handling fees!"

"Okay, don't forget it. Draw one out of twenty, it's not expensive."

He said and turned the contract in front of him, "In addition, the old man will charge you five hundred Spirit Stone as a signature fee. If you are not willing, just sign this Transaction Contract yourself."

Xiao Chen looked down and saw that the contract was the Transaction Contract contract issued by the Yin Corpse Sect.

When it is required to trade Spirit Artifact within the scope of the Lightless Sea, the buyer and seller must sign and retain the certificate to facilitate the tracing of unknown items.

But according to Old Song, if you pay five hundred Spirit Stone, you don't need to sign.

Good guy, you can't even act with such open and honest deception.

Objectively speaking, five hundred Spirit Stone is actually a lot, but Xiao Chen still chose not to leave any writing. "Then you'd better help me sign for your troubles."

After all, it's not much to him.

"It's okay if you mind."

Old Song took the contract back, lay down on the rocking chair and picked up the tea cup. "Okay, if you have nothing else to do, just leave. The door is open and you don't have to close it."

From Rare Weapon Workshop, Xiao Chen also transferred to West Market.

He has now understood that East Market is just the appearance of the Yin Corpse Sect.

West Market is the real Outer Sea market.

In some spirit medicine stores, Xiao Chen directly saw Third-Rank Strange Poison and Third-Rank Soul Confusion Incense for sale publicly.

Of course, the corresponding antidote is also sold nearby, and the sales are very good.

Even if they don't want to poison, many monks will buy an antidote and take it with them just in case something unexpected happens.

.

In another Talisman Shop, Xiao Chen saw Spirit Severing Talisman, which was specially used to restrict monks from using Law Technique.

Once this Talisman is attached to the Mingmen point on the monk's back, the other party will not be able to mobilize the true energy and Law Power for the next day.

Spirit Severing Nail has a similar effect, which can be effective when nailed directly to the spine.

Although the prerequisites for these things are not low, they are generally difficult to achieve.

But no matter what, it's quite outrageous that something like this can be sold openly.

But having said that, Lightless Sea's chaos is also famous in the entire Eastern Domain.

From this perspective, it seems reasonable for these things to appear here, even a little too civilized.

Of course, Xiao Chen soon overturned this idea of his.

In the center of West Market, he saw a seven-story, dark attic.

This building does not have a single window, and there are several guards at the door, which is rare.

"Treasure Gathering Pavilion?"

Xiao Chen curiously walked over to take a look, but was stopped directly at the door. "I'm sorry, fellow Daoist, you look a bit unfamiliar."

The bearded guard looked him over. "Please let me see your Treasure Gathering Token."

Huh?

Xiao Chen asked in reply, "If there is no Treasure Gathering Token, will you not be allowed in?"

The guard's tone became colder. "We only accept distinguished guests here, you can go somewhere else."

Good guys, membership is required, right?

I didn't expect that this trick is still being played here.

Of course, this has something to do with Xiao Chen's cultivation and background. If he were Nascent Soul True Lord, the guards with only Mid-stage Golden Core's cultivation would certainly not dare to stop him.

If he has a certain background, the so-called Treasure Gathering Token is not difficult.

To put it bluntly, we just don't accept ordinary monks here.

"Oh, Daoist Zhang, you are here!"

The guard suddenly changed his smile and took the initiative to bow to a young man walking next to him.

The other party's face was pale, she was dressed in rich clothes, and she was holding a beautiful female cultivator named Mid-stage Golden Core in her arms.

He didn't even pay attention to the guard on the side and walked in without hesitation.

This should be the kind with a background.

Next to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion is a very familiar organization-Morning Radiance Pavilion.

Xiao Chen simply came here, ready to buy information about New Ruin.

Perhaps because there have been a lot of people buying this kind of information recently, the other party directly took out two ready-made envelopes. "We have a basic version and a detailed version here. Which one do you want?"

The price is written on the envelope. The former costs one thousand Spirit Stone, while the latter costs five thousand Spirit Stone.

"Why is it so expensive?"

Xiao Chen asked, "Can I know where the extra four thousand dollars were spent?"

The other party shook his head. "I'm sorry, I can't reveal any unnecessary information."

"But I can use Morning Radiance Pavilion's reputation as a guarantee. This information is very crucial for exploring the ruins. Your Spirit Stone will never be in vain."

The most important thing for an intelligence organization is its reputation.

So Xiao Chen decisively chose the detailed version, and by the way asked for the latest Faction Intelligence about the Lightless Sea.

He specifically requested. "Please detail some important practices Lineage and Golden Core Realm casual cultivators who often appear nearby."

The other party skillfully took out a thicker envelope again. "The original price of this message is one thousand Spirit Stone, but if you buy it this month, you will be charged two thousand Spirit Stone."

"In addition, New Ruin may cause bias in intelligence."

"Please consider this carefully. Information sold is non-refundable and non-refundable."

Xiao Chen asked, "The price increase is because of the ruins, right? I have already purchased information related to the ruins, can it be cheaper?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, then put away the envelope. "Please wait a moment."

Then he left for a while and said, "Sorry, the shopkeeper told me that this is the price to buy now."

Xiao Chen thought for a while, "Okay, let's all have one."

Spirit Stone This kind of thing should be saved and spent.

I just made a fortune selling Spirit Artifact, so there is no need to deduct the money for this information.

After coming out of the Morning Radiance Pavilion, not far to the west, there is a tall pink building, with a group of coolly dressed Kun Xiu standing at the door and posing.

To the left and right of the tall building is a row of neat small courtyards.

Behind it are the real street stalls.

Most of the people here are casual cultivators at the lowest level, or monks passing by, and they don't even bother to build small wooden houses.

Just find a piece of cloth and spread it out, and set up a stall selling spiritual items on the spot.

It focuses on two features.

The first is that the price is cheap enough, much lower than that of various stores.

Of course, there is no guarantee of quality, it all depends on the monk's own vision.

The second is that you can pick up missing items. Some items come from such wild sources that stall owners only dare to sell them with a bamboo hat.

Under normal circumstances, buyers will also hide their identities, and some even deliberately speak with a high voice.

Anyway Xiao Chen Looking around, many monks here are covering their faces or wearing masks.

He took a casual glance and saw a small jade bottle with an open mouth, containing a Foundation Establishment pill.

Although the elixir looks very round, its luster is very dull.

According to the visual inspection of Xiao Chen, this thing is most likely a Failed Pills.

Even if there are residual medicinal properties, it is difficult to say how much effect it will have.

There was a Qi Refining Cultivator next to him who happened to be asking the price, "Senior, how do you sell this Foundation Establishment pill?"

"This one?"

The hawker looked at his clothes up and down. "It's cheap. If I give you one thousand Spirit Stone, you can take it."

When Qi Refining Cultivator heard the price, he was obviously a little moved.

After checking it carefully, we started haggling over the price.

And in the next stall, another Foundation Establishment Cultivator was holding a side of Top-Grade Magical Shield and was discussing with the stall owner. "Your Law Artifact is already old, give me another two hundred Spirit Stone."

Xiao Chen glanced at the shield.

Relying on Illusion Breaking Spirit Eye, he immediately saw traces of splicing in the middle of the shield.

Obviously, this is most likely a fake, or at least a shoddy product.

Similar situations abound here and are shocking.

Of course, it's not that there are no genuine products at all. A little further back, Xiao Chen saw a bamboo pergola.

There were three rows of monks standing crookedly inside. There were twelve people in the front row, all of whom were Foundation Establishment Cultivation.

The last two rows are all Qi Refining Cultivator, a total of sixty-seven people.

Five of them had their hands tied and Spirit Severing Nail nailed on their backs.

The remaining people were not tied up, but they all stood there with dull eyes, showing no intention of running away or asking for help.

There are signs hanging on these people, with prices ranging from five hundred Spirit Stone to ten thousand Spirit Stone.

Mainly based on the level of cultivation, there are only two naturally beautiful Qi Refining female cultivators, who are two hundred Spirit Stone more expensive than monks of the same level.

I noticed Xiao Chen standing in front of the pergola, and the round-faced Golden Core cultivator on the side came over immediately.

He greeted warmly, "Fellow Daoist, these are all clearly marked with prices. Which one do you like to take away?"

Before Xiao Chen could say anything, a middle-aged man in black robe walked up next to him.

"Old Jin, give me two more."

He turned around and saw that the person was wearing Magic Robe with the Yin Corpse Sect mark.
