Chapter 21 Underground
Zhou Ruyang opened his eyes when he heard this. Everyone saw Zhou Ruyang take out a jade slip from his arms and throw it at Chujiang, but he didn't know what was recorded on it.
After receiving the jade slip, Chu Jiang put it on his forehead and looked carefully for a while, then nodded and said respectfully:
"I can trust my seniors."
Then he drove the spiritual power and sent the wooden sword to Zhou Ruyang's position.
Zhou Ruyang took the wooden sword and checked for a moment. A hint of joy flashed through his eyes. He nodded and closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Everyone was amazed at the deal. Even Gong Quan looked at Chu Jiang thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking, but Gong Yi's eyes flashed and he didn't say a word.
The exchange meeting continued again. When it was Gong Quan's turn, he asked for a foundation-building pill. However, except for Zhou Ruyang, all qi-training cultivators present, how could there be such a valuable thing?
The foundation-building pill is the key to foundation-building. Taking this pill during foundation-building can increase the chance of 30 to 40% out of thin air. It is very precious. It is a treasure that qi-cultivating monks pursue throughout their lives.
However, he knew it was not realistic, so he simply changed his words to exchange for the whereabouts of the Foundation Establishment Pill. There were several voices of communication with him, but in the end he did not reach a deal.
As a result, about ten transactions were conducted, each with something to gain. Chu Jiang also exchanged a large number of talismans treasured by Li Changchun for a technique called "Water Dragon Diamond", which was also considered a technique that could be used openly.
After the exchange meeting, everyone discussed the Tao on the spot and shared their experience in practicing. Zhou Ruyang also said a few symbolic words, which benefited everyone a lot. Chu Jiang was fascinated by listening and gained a lot, and deeply felt that it would be of great benefit to his future practice path.
After an hour, the sky gradually darkened and everyone said goodbye and left.
Just as Chu Jiang and the two monks of the Gong family walked out of the hut together, a powerful voice suddenly passed through his ears:
"Fellow Fellow Daoist Chu!"
Chu Jiang paused, looked around with a puzzled expression, as if he wanted to find out who sent him a message.
Seeing that Chu Jiang was like this, the voice transmitted another voice:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, named Li Chuan, is the first time he has participated in this exchange meeting, just like fellow Daoist."
When he talked about Li Chuan, Chu Jiang remembered it. This man was the man who was staring at him at the beginning. His cultivation was not weak, and he had at least the seventh level of Qi training. I wonder what would happen if I called him at this time, so he asked vigilantly:
"Fellow Daoist Li asked to live here, what's the matter?"
The sound came slowly:
"Li is a casual cultivator. The exchange meeting invited all the monks recognized by the two major families of Zhou Palace. However, there are still many casual cultivators hiding in Yundu, so we secretly organized an underground trade fair. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chu is interested?"
“Underground Fair?”
"Yes, this underground trade fair was temporarily organized by some of us and other casual cultivators who live here in seclusion. All fellow Taoists participated anonymously. Except for the organizers, they would never reveal their identity. They could trade some things that could not be taken at the exchange meeting at will, so some more valuable treasures will also appear in the meeting. I heard that some fellow Taoists wanted to take action to build a foundation inheritance this time..."
Chu Jiang frowned and thought for a moment when he heard this. Although he exchanged for a magic trick in the meeting, he still did not achieve his goal. Moreover, he also had some things that needed to be replaced with spirit stones in urgent need of hand.
Thinking of this, he had made up his mind and replied without hesitation:
"I wonder when this underground trade will be opened and how to join?"
Li Chuan smiled, as if he was happy to join in, and said in a voice:
"Fellow Daoist Chu asked well, I have a good reputation in the trade fair. With Li as a guarantee for Brother Chu, I will definitely be able to join Brother Chu. Brother Chu doesn't have to worry, as for time..."
“It’s to be held tonight.”
Chu Jiang said in surprise:
"It'll be held tonight?"
"That's right, what? Brother Chu still has something to do?"
The voice was slow.
Chu Jiang stood there and pondered for a moment, looked up and bowed to Gong Yi, and said apologizing:
"Brother Gong, I still have some things to deal with tonight. I'm afraid I'll lose my companion. What will happen if you and I see each other again tomorrow?"
Gong Yi looked a little unhappy when he heard this. He knew the origin of Chu Jiang the most. What could he have to do if he was alone?
But at this moment, he couldn't have an attack and frowned:
"It was getting late at this time, and the exchange meeting had just been held. Although most of them had clear origins, there were no cultivators who were secretly hiding his heart. Brother Chu should think twice."
Chu Jiang naturally heard what Gong Yi meant, but the underground trade fair was really important, so he had to bite the bullet and offend the Gong family once.
Seeing that he still insisted on dealing with something, Gong Yi was unhappy, but he couldn't get angry. He could only snort coldly, and said, "Brother Chu, take care of him" and walked away.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Li Chuan, who looked like a big man, walked to Chu Jiang and secretly sent a message to Chu Jiang:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, let's go!"
The two of them used the light body technique for half an hour and walked to a wilderness where small piles of soil were everywhere. Stone tablets in front of the pile were inserted on the ground. From time to time, one or two randomly abandoned corpses could be seen on the road.
This is the mass grave outside Yundu City. It is night, and even the corpse collectors will not come here at night.
If there were ordinary people beside him, you would definitely see a surprising scene. Li Chuan led Chu Jiang to a larger tomb. He took out a jade pendant, and his spiritual power urged the jade pendant, emitting a faint light and placed it on the stone tablet. After a moment, the stone tablet also emitted a faint light. Then the tomb was strangely split into two halves, presenting a passage that went straight to the underground!
Chu Jiang followed Li Chuan into the grave all the way, looking at the gloomy and terrifying scene expressionlessly.
Anyone who practices the truth is definitely a person with great perseverance, otherwise he would not have achieved success in his cultivation. Ordinary cultivators wander around to fight for that ray of opportunity, often walking between life and death. Ordinary people may still be afraid of such a scene, but there is no turmoil in the mind of the truth.
Chu Jiang followed Li Chuan for about 500 meters. He probably arrived at a underground palace somewhere underground. In front of him was a huge stone gate. Li Chuan took out his jade pendant and said to it:
"Iron face, I'm here, this time I brought a new fellow Taoist."
After a while, the huge stone door slowly opened, revealing a huge underground palace. The space inside was very large, and the corridor spread to the darkness and could not be seen clearly.
I saw a figure walking out of the corridor. The figure was wrapped in a black robe, wearing a black mask made of pure iron and without a facial features. This should be the "iron face".
Iron Man saw the two of them, looked at Chu Jiang slowly for a moment, and said coldly:
"Since it is a fellow Taoist invited by 'Brute Power', I won't ask more questions."
"This fellow Taoist, have you told me the rules of this department and fellow Taoist Martial Power?"
Chu Jiang nodded slowly without saying anything. When the iron face saw Chu Jiang, he reached out and snapped his fingers. He saw candles suddenly lit up on both sides of the corridor, making the dim underground palace illuminate. There were many masks and black cloaks hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, which looked strange and gloomy against the backdrop of the candles.
He said indifferently:
"This fellow Taoist has the ability to hide one's cultivation. In order to ensure the fellow Taoist's secret, go and pick a mask and put it on."
Chu Jiang looked at both sides and saw a mask with twisted facial features upside down. The mask looked a bit weird and funny against the candlelight.
