After an incense stick of time, Hu Sailei appeared from the door and nodded towards Shi Mu.

Shi Mu understood, and followed in.

After a while, Shi Mu appeared in a room with relatively simple decoration.

A white-faced, beardless middle-aged man in a gray robe sat on a sandalwood chair, his eyes swept over Shi Mu in front of him, and returned to Husseile at the side again.

"Deacon Quan, this is the senior Mu I just mentioned below. He belongs to the Qiancheng branch and has a close relationship with me. This time I passed by Picheng and chatted with me about going to sea. The matter of going to sea has always been summed up. I immediately remembered that Deacon Quan has a lot of hands and eyes, and I have many friends in the main altar of our church, so I introduced him to the deacon." Hu Sailei cupped his hands at the white-faced middle-aged man, flattering.

Shi Mu cupped his hands at the white-faced middle-aged man with a smile on his face, then took out the Mingyue Token and handed it over.

He covered up his warrior aura, but he didn't hide his warlock cultivation. At this time, his whole body was faintly exuding the mana fluctuations that only star-level warlocks had.

"Oh, it turned out to be Fellow Daoist Mu. It's a pleasure to meet you. If I'm not mistaken, you plan to go to sea to patrol and hunt sea beasts, right?" The white-faced middle-aged man glanced at the Mingyue Token in Shi Mu's hand, and didn't reach out to take it. .

"Deacon Quan Mingjian, it is indeed so." Shi Mu put away the Mingyue Order and said.

"It's nothing to go out to sea to hunt. As long as you register in Quyang City, you can take the giant boat that is taught every two months to go out to sea. But, the situation has changed recently. I advise you not to go, so as not to run in vain. A trip." Said the white-faced middle-aged man.

"How do you say that?" Shi Mu was taken aback.

"This matter is related to some unannounced matters in the general forum, so it is inconvenient for me to say more." The white-faced middle-aged man shook his head. Make a look of helplessness.

"Fellow Daoist Quan, this matter is very important to me. If you can give me some pointers, I will be very grateful." Shi Mu took out ten low-grade spirit stones from the Dust Miao Ring, and gently placed them on the white-faced middle-aged man's table superior.

"Forget it, this matter is not particularly confidential, and you are not considered outsiders..." The white-faced middle-aged man flicked his sleeves lightly, and calmly put the spirit stone in front of him into his sleeves, and after a moment of pondering, he said said, lowering his voice a little.

Seeing this, Shi Mu and Hu Sailei hurriedly moved closer, pretending to be listening attentively.

In the next time. Through the narration of the white-faced middle-aged man, the two finally understood the whole story.

It turns out that the senior management of the Mingyue Sect recently decided to send people to explore the Xihe Continent on the other side of the West Sea. It is said that there are far more resources for cultivation than in the Dongzhou Continent. In addition, there are a large number of monsters to sacrifice.

However, the number of places for this operation is limited, and after deliberation, the middle and high-level teachers decided to pass the competition. Come to select two hundred elite disciples, and in order to cooperate with this operation, the recent sea trips will be suspended.

Half a year later, the general election will be held in Quyang City, the capital of the ancient Xixia Kingdom.

Before the general election, primary elections will be held in sub-altars of more than a dozen cities, and Picheng is one of the primary election locations.

a month later. The primary election in Picheng is about to begin. The winners will then go to Quyang City together.

After listening to the white-faced middle-aged man's explanation, Shi Mu quickly got up to thank him. And after some courtesies, he left the room with Husseile.

Soon, the two reappeared on a certain street in Picheng. At this time, there were not many pedestrians on the street.

"What do you think about this selection?" Shi Mu asked Husailei with a look.

"Senior Mu seems to intend to participate in this selection, right?" Hu Sailei asked.

"Not bad." Shi Mu nodded.

"With all due respect, for such an important selection competition in the teaching, the identity will be strictly checked during the preliminary round. It is not enough to rely on the Mingyue order alone. Seniors, why not join the Mingyue school first?" Hu Sailei took two steps forward and suggested in a low voice road.

"Joining the Mingyue Sect is not that simple, is it?" Shi Mu asked.

"You only need to participate in a ceremony to worship the Lord of the Underworld, and the soul will be baptized during the ceremony." Hu Sailei said.

"I don't want to join the Mingyue Sect. Think again, is there any other way?" Shi Mu shook his head and asked.

"That's right! According to the situation in previous years, although the primary elections of this kind of competition are set up in various sub-cities, they are all supervised by special envoys directly sent by the general altar. It's not difficult to ask Deacon Quan to help you set up a line, spend some spirit stones, and directly buy a primary election spot. As long as you can enter the primary election list, you won't have to check your identity during the re-examination." Hou Sailei pondered for a while After that, he opened his mouth again.

Shi Mu thought for a moment, then nodded.

In the following time, he took Hussere to look for a place in the city.

Half an hour later, Shi Mu rented two ordinary rooms in an inn in the east of the city.

The guest rooms are not big, but each room is equipped with a barrier to isolate the consciousness, and the price is also very astonishing. The daily rent for two rooms is as high as 10,000 taels of silver.

Husseile was taken aback by such an expensive price.

Speaking of it, this is still related to this sea competition.

Although the Mingyue Sect General Forum has not officially announced this matter, many people may have learned of some rumors in advance through various channels, so they poured into these cities with sub-fields from all directions early.

Among them are mainly the disciples of the Mingyue Sect, and there are also some non-sectarians who want to make a fortune.

Picheng is not big at all, but now that there are so many people rushing in, the rooms in all the inns have become tight, and the prices have naturally risen accordingly.

However, Shi Mu now has more than ten thousand spirit stones in his pocket, so he doesn't care about this expense.

Five days later, in the evening.

In a remote alley in Picheng.

Dressed in a gray robe, Shi Mu stood at the door of a dilapidated residential compound, and the same was true for Husseile behind him.

It turned out that two days ago, Husseile got a message from the church members in the city.

Because a large number of insiders and outsiders have flooded into Picheng, a certain faction in the city is planning to take this opportunity to hold an underground trade fair. It is said that there will be many things that are rarely seen by the outside world. After hearing this, Shi Mu is naturally very interested. . That's why we made this trip.

Hu Sailei stepped forward and knocked on the door, Shi Mu followed behind him unhurriedly.

"Boom... boom... boom boom boom" two long and three short. There were five knocks in total.

After a while, the door opened with a "squeak".

The courtyard door opened, and there were two young men with bare upper body and green trousers standing behind the door with vigilant expressions, looking at Shi Mu and Hu Sailei.

Shi Mu scanned the two of them with his spiritual sense, and found that both of them were acquired Dzogchen warriors.

Before the green-robed youth opened his mouth, Husailei took out a jade token with mana fluctuations and waved it in front of the two of them.

After a while. Shi Mu and Hu Sailei appeared in an underground space under the resident compound. At this time, both of them wore black robes with hoods, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Shi Mu's eyes moved, and he looked around.

The underground space here is quite wide, with a size of a hundred feet. In the circular open space in the middle, there is a long stone table nearly ten feet long.

at this time. Three to four hundred people have gathered in the secret room, and many of them have a strong aura, and they are all innate warriors or star-level warlocks.

However, because the black robe that covers the body is relatively large and has a certain effect of isolating consciousness, so apart from the difference in height, everyone looks similar.

Shi Mu is quite satisfied with this arrangement.

Although it can't be compared with the scale of the Immortal Auction in Tianyu City, there are quite a few strong ones here. A trade fair in a while. There should be a lot of things that make him excited.

He took Husseile with him, and sat down in a seat in the back row. Be patient.

Within half an hour, after another hundred people came in one after another, the underground trade fair finally started.

"Ahem, it's almost time, all the fellow daoists who should come have arrived, and the fair will start now." An old voice rang out from behind the long stone table.

At some point, a figure in a green robe appeared behind the long stone table.

The discussion among the people in the underground secret room gradually stopped, and everyone's eyes showed excitement, and they all looked at the long stone table.

"There are no restrictions in this fair. Rare materials, medicine pills, magic tools, exercises, etc. can be traded, but all items can only be priced with spirit stones. During the fair, each person can only be on stage once. As long as the transaction is completed , both parties to the transaction must take 3% of the transaction price as a commission." The green-robed man spoke again.

As soon as this person finished speaking, there was a buzz of discussion in the underground secret room.

Shi Mu nodded secretly.

No wonder the forces in the city want to hold such an underground trade fair. There are nearly 500 people here. The trade only recognizes Lingshi, and each transaction requires a 6% commission. I am afraid that they can earn a lot of money overnight. wealth.

Moreover, in this kind of underground trade fair, the organizer can also take the opportunity to collect a lot of rare resources.

However, in this kind of trade fair, the privacy and security of both buyers and sellers are relatively guaranteed, so everyone is willing to pay such an expensive transaction commission.

"Fellow daoists, I'm impatient, so I'll throw bricks to attract jade first." Before the discussion subsided, a thin man in black robe came to the long stone table with a few ups and downs.

The following five or six people who were a step late could only retreat resentfully.

...

Two hours later, Shi Mu returned to the inn.

In this underground trade fair, apart from a "Qian Tian Talisman" handed down from the Mingyue Sect, there was nothing particularly valued by it.

According to the original owner, dozens of high-level talisman secret techniques are recorded in this tome.

With his current star-level magician's skills and skills, coupled with the blessing of spiritual eyes, he has long wanted to try high-level talismans.

So after a lot of competition, he finally spent nearly 1,500 spirit stones to win one of them.

This move caused a lot of side-eyes and ridicules at the scene.

After all, talisman master is a very expensive profession, without the support of a big sect behind it, relying on one's own strength, I am afraid that even the elementary talisman may not be able to practice well, let alone the higher-level ones.

And some high-level talisman masters in the sect who are capable of drawing high-level talismans will naturally not lack such talisman classics.

So this kind of talisman classics handed down from the sect seemed a bit tasteless.

Of course, there are some people who are interested in hunting, or who have a hobby of collecting.

Shi Mu was obviously classified as the latter type of people by the crowd.

Shi Mu naturally didn't care about this.

He carefully took Cai'er who was still asleep from his arms and put it aside, then sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, pasted the gray jade slip that recorded the "Qiantian Talisman" on his forehead, and read it carefully. (to be continued ~^~)
