C527 Mysterious Black Market(2)
"What should I say?"
Liu Yi frowned, as if he didn't know what to say. After hesitating for a long time, he said uncertainly, "I saw this old man once ten years ago, because it was my first time entering the black market. Because of that, I have a deep memory of everything that happened at that time, and I also have some impression of this old man"
"His white hair was meticulously combed, the wrinkles on his forehead, he wore a black robe, and his expressionless face was cold and indifferent. Ten years have passed, but this old man doesn't seem to have changed at all"
"Isn't that normal?" Liu Fei, who had been standing up straight and listening to the conversation between the two, heard it and weakly leaned against the side wall. He said with a disappointed look, "For us cultivators, it's not strange for us to maintain the same outfit for ten years. Brother, aren't you the same? Ten years have passed, apart from becoming more familiar with each other, I'm still dressed in this green outfit."
"What do you know!" Liu Yi was very dissatisfied with his younger brother who dared to question his words. He glared at him fiercely and only withdrew his gaze in satisfaction when he saw him shrink his neck in fear.
"Mr Yang, I also don't know what is going on. However, if I remember correctly, whether it was his face, the wrinkles on his forehead, or the tone of his expression when he spoke. This old man is no different from ten years ago. He looks exactly the same. "
"Exactly the same?" Yang Xuan confirmed.
"Yes, it should be exactly the same, right?" It was obvious that Liu Yi was not confident enough. He looked like he was not confident at all.
However, this information was enough for Yang Xuan.
In fact, before entering the carriage, Yang Xuan had secretly checked the condition of the old man's body.
Not only his physical condition, but also the old man's cultivation base.
It wasn't that Yang Xuan was reckless, but that the aura of the old man was erratic and unpredictable. However, it was not worth mentioning to Yang Xuan, who had just obtained the incomplete bewitching skill from the Barbarian Cultivator.
After all, the bewitching skill was a technique passed down from the ancient times. It was said that when one cultivated it to a profound level, it could confuse one's heart and mind. Even the Black Panther admired this secret technique.
Although Yang Xuan had never had the chance to cultivate the bewitching skill since he obtained it, it was enough for him to gain a lot of benefits just by studying it in his free time.
With just a glance, Yang Xuan had seen through the cultivation base of the old man who had specially cultivated a secret technique to conceal his aura - the peak of the Third Stage.
This was a very subtle realm. To rogue cultivators, a peak Third Stage was enough to be called a high grade cultivator, and it had a certain weight in the group of rogue cultivators.
For example, Liu Yi, who was a famous herb-picking person in the group of rogue cultivators. In the beginning, Liu Yi was only at the intermediate Third Stage. After a series of fortuitous encounters, he finally managed to break through to the peak of the Third Stage. Anyone who saw him would have to call him an expert.
Therefore, the old man's cultivation base wasn't considered weak.
But...
Yang Xuan keenly noticed that there was something unusual about the old man's body.
It was not that there was something wrong with the old man's body or that he was suffering from internal injuries. On the contrary, the blood and Qi in the old man's body were surging. His muscles were strong and his body was full of vitality.
However, for an old man who was past his prime, being full of vitality was the greatest anomaly.
A peak Third Stage warrior had yet to reach the realm of reversing life and death. Thus, as one aged, one's body would inevitably weaken. Even if the cultivation fruit was special and the secret technique could barely maintain his condition, it was still not comparable to a young man's body.
However, the old man broke this rule.
What surprised Yang Xuan even more was the Spiritual Force in the old man's body.
Although the Spiritual Force in the old man's body was pure and strong, and the Qi Wheel was much more stable than an ordinary Third Stage warrior, the Spiritual Force in the old man's body didn't have the vitality that an ordinary Spiritual Force should have. It was lifeless.
Yang Xuan had once felt a similar feeling from the soul of the Mong family. The Spiritual Force in the old man's body was even more rigid than the one in the soul of the Mong family.
The heroic soul of the Mong family was a dead man who had died a long time ago, and only his soul remained in the Spirit Pagoda. What could be even more deadly and deadly than the Spiritual Force of a dead man?
There was only one explanation. The old man driving the carriage was most likely not a living person.
However, this did not make sense.
If the old man was not a living person, why was he still able to talk to Yang Xuan?
According to Yang Xuan's observation, although the old man's tone was expressionless and cold, and his words were also stiff, his words were very logical. He was obviously rational.
Yang Xuan was puzzled, but after asking Liu Yi, he couldn't get any more information from Liu Yi, so he could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart.
"Let's talk about the Hundred Spirit Fruit!" In order to prevent Liu Yi and the others from becoming suspicious, Yang Xuan changed the topic to the Hundred Spirit Fruit. To the three of them, the Hundred Spirit Fruit was definitely the most welcome topic.
Sure enough, once the Hundred Spirit Fruit was mentioned, Liu Fei and Lau Qing, who had been unable to say anything, became excited. Although Liu Yi, who was more experienced, tried his best to keep his face calm, his eyes still flashed with a fiery look.
The reason why the three of them risked their lives to sneak into the depths of the Northern Mountain Range, even when facing the threat of a Fourth Stage great cultivator like Chalham, gritted their teeth and fought with their lives on the line, wasn't it for the Hundred Spirit Fruit?
To Liu Yi and the other two, the Hundred Spirit Fruit was the key to their advancement on the path of cultivation.
"Actually, we have already found out about it last time." The first to speak was Lau Qing.
Lau Qing's eyes were excited and she said with a look of longing, "Normally speaking, there are three ways to deal with rare treasures like the Hundred Spirit Fruit."
"The first way is through the black market's official auction, because the owner behind the auction house is Black Market Owner. The first way is through the black market's official auction house. Furthermore, the cultivators participating in the official auction are the most numerous, so there's no need to worry about not being able to sell it for a good price. However, the disadvantage is that you have to pay a certain amount of spirit stone as an auction fee."
When Yang Xuan heard this, he said, " Oh? In that case, it seems that the three of you are not going to make a move through the government?"
In the previous idle chat, Liu Yi had expressed his desire more than once to refine the Hundred Spirit Fruit into a Hundred Spirit Pill. Liu Fei and Lau Qing did not raise any objections. Clearly, they had the same thoughts as Liu Yi. Therefore, it was basically impossible for the three of them to choose to sell the Hundred Spirit Fruit.
Lau Qing smiled sweetly when she heard this, and said in a magnanimous manner, "That's right. We really didn't plan to sell the Hundred Spirit Fruit. After all, the Hundred Spirit Fruit is the key to whether we can advance further on the path of cultivation!"
As a cultivator, unless it was absolutely necessary, no one was willing to give up on cultivating.
"I've discussed it with Big Brother Liu and the others. The Hundred Spirit Fruit must be refined into a Hundred Spirit Pill, so we chose the second method - to trade with the Barbarian Cultivator."
Another Barbarian Cultivator?
Yang Xuan's heart shivered.
