Xiao Minghui sneered, "President Ji, are you joking? Your Thunder Wind Trade Association is only offering one billion, who's going to pay the remaining nine billion? You have many trade associations behind you, you should at least pay eight billion. We'll figure out a way to pay the remaining two billion. "
"That's right!"
Xun Zhiming nodded in agreement, "The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Almost all of the merchant guilds in Southfire City are here. Eight billion is child's play. "
Ji Lin: "..."
He immediately lost his temper and sighed, "You two, I see you're not sincere enough to scheme against me at this time. The situation is no longer between you and the Merchant Union, we should all work together to deal with the Big Dipper Sect. If the Big Dipper Sect grows, I'm afraid their first step will be to swallow you all up. Our Thunder Wind Trade Association may be weakened, but we are still one of the seven leaders of the Merchant Union. Do you think the Big Dipper Sect will dare to go to war with us? As for this ten billion, I will discuss it with the Merchant Union, and we will bear five billion. If the two of you are still not willing, then this matter will be dropped, and I, Ji, will go home. "
Xun Zhiming and Xiao Minghui's eyes darkened. What Ji Lin said was right. He had poked at their weak spots. After exchanging glances, Xun Zhiming said in a low voice, "Alright, then we'll split the responsibility.
Xiao Minghui glanced at the wandering martial artists and frowned, "What about these people? Can't we make them pay a drop of blood and get the benefits for free? "
Ji Lin sneered, "Do you expect to extort a single yuan stone from these paupers?" He turned and went to discuss with the Merchant Union associations.
Xiao Minghui shook his head helplessly, those wandering martial artists indeed wouldn't pay. He immediately discussed with Xun Zhiming and the two began to wrangle endlessly, hoping the other party would pay a bit more.
The overall efficiency was quite high. Everyone was afraid that the Big Dipper Sect would snatch the yuan stones first, so they didn't bother with the odd bits and pieces. Soon, they collected ten billion mid-grade yuan stones and handed it over to Li Yunxiao.
Li Yunxiao was surprised, "You really brought so many yuan stones with you? Tsk tsk, looks like I was too kind. The Merchant Alliance and the local tyrant are indeed rich. Next time, don't be so polite. "
Ji Lin was enraged. "Li Yunxiao, don't cross the line. They are afraid of you, but our Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce isn't!"
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I understand. Let's go." He turned to Jin Xuan and said, "Jin Xuan, let's go down together. I will be worried if you stay outside."
Jinxuan's heart warmed, but she still felt bad. "I'm sorry, Young Master Yun. I've been a burden to you all this time."
Li Yunxiao laughed and said, "Haha, how are you a burden? It's all thanks to you and me that we earned so many Essence Stones. Tsk tsk, ten billion, I hope you can drag me down a few more times. "
Everyone followed behind him. Their faces were filled with black lines, and their eyes were gloomy.
Under Li Yunxiao's lead, everyone entered the cave in a single file. It was pitch-black inside, but it didn't affect their vision. Moreover, the cave was very wide and not as narrow as they had imagined. The entire passage was made of huge stones. When they stepped on them, it was the rank four material, Diamond Jade. It was the same material used in the Big Dipper Sect's arenas. Moreover, the passage was more than two meters high. Some of the burly men didn't feel crowded.
Li Yunxiao said, "Looks like it really is the North Scorpion Sect's treasure. This maze must have cost a lot of resources to make it so majestic." He touched the surrounding walls and said, "These were cut by sword energy. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so smooth. Looks like the North Dou Sect used a large number of martial practitioners to build this passage. "
Xun Zhiming said, "Not bad. From the construction, the cost wouldn't be lower than the ten arenas. Look at these skeletons. Judging from the time, it does seem like the time when the North Scorpion Sect took out the treasure. I just don't know if there are any left. "
Everyone looked at the broken bones in the passage that led to the pitch-black depths. Desolation surged in their hearts. They didn't know if they would be the next one. After stepping on the path of martial arts, they had long been prepared to die at any time.
The atmosphere in the passage gradually became oppressive. Hundreds of people passed through, but other than the sound of walking, there was no other sound.
"Something's wrong!"
Li Yunxiao suddenly shouted and stopped in his tracks.
The people around him were startled by the sudden voice. Ji Lin frowned and said, "What, did we go the wrong way?"
Li Yunxiao said solemnly, "No, we definitely didn't go the wrong way. I remember the route on the map clearly. It's just that the passage is wrong!"
"What do you mean the passage is wrong?"
Xun Zhiming said, "It's okay if you remember it wrong. Just walk again."
Li Yunxiao shook his head and said, "I felt strange along the way. Something is wrong. Look at how many people are left."
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what was going on. Ji Lin and the other two looked back and were immediately shocked. They cried out, "How can it be? Where are the people? "
The group behind them was actually reduced by more than half. At a glance, there were only about fifty people.
"Magnetism!"
Xiao Minghui sucked in a cold breath and said in shock, "How can this be?"
This time, everyone was shocked, especially those at the back. They were originally standing at the front of the group, but now they were at the back. They didn't even realize what was happening to the people beside them.
Jin Xuan also felt a chill in her heart. She hurriedly grabbed Li Yunxiao's arm and felt a trace of warmth and security.
Ji Lin also felt a little scared. He said in shock, "What is going on?"
Li Yunxiao said, "Didn't I say it already? The passage is wrong."
Ji Lin said, "… Can you explain it more clearly?"
Li Yunxiao said, "Ten billion yuan stones! I am only responsible for leading the way. I am not responsible for spreading knowledge."
Everyone, "…"
Xun Zhiming suppressed the urge to slap him to death and said, "Young Master Yun, aren't you being too unkind? Everyone's personal belongings have been taken by you. Even the Thunder Wind Merchant Guild isn't as unscrupulous as you! "
Ji Lin said angrily, "Old Man Xun, are you seeking death?"
Li Yunxiao said, "Alright, I will take a loss to the end. I hope that when we find the treasure, everyone will give me more on account of my efforts. "
Xun Zhiming's forehead was full of black lines. He said, "Hurry up and say it. We will definitely give you more."
Li Yunxiao said, "In the east region, there is a very interesting martial skill called 'Changing Acupoints'. Have you heard of it?"
Xun Zhiming nodded and said, "Of course. This is not a profound martial skill. I think everyone here knows it. It is just circulating origin energy and changing the meridians and acupoints in the body. But what does this have to do with the passage?"
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "If you know this martial skill, it will be easier to explain. This passage is equivalent to the hundred extraordinary meridians in the human body. Those people were moved away by changing acupoints. "
"What?"
Everyone was shocked, and their faces were filled with confusion. They couldn't understand what this meant at all.
Ji Lin frowned and said, "Why would the passage change acupoints?"
Li Yunxiao said, "Because this passage is alive!"
"Alive passage?"
Everyone was shocked. Xun Zhiming sneered and said, "Young Master Yun, I know you like to be weird, but this joke is not funny at all!"
Li Yunxiao said seriously, "The reason why it's not funny is because it's not a joke. This passageway is alive!"
His words were resolute and decisive, causing everyone to tremble in fear. Jin Xuan's grip on his arm involuntarily tightened.
Li Yunxiao continued, "This passage is actually a formation. The southern fire crystal gold mine is the energy source, and it has been operating for tens of thousands of years. That map should be incomplete. If we cut off the surrounding ore veins, we can use the map to continue. But the formation is constantly operating, so a map of death is useless. "
Xun Zhiming said, "Then what should we do? Cut off the ore veins now? "
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "The Changing Acupoints has already been executed. Can you still walk out?"
Xiao Minghui said, "Then what should we do? Young Master Yun doesn't look nervous at all, so he must have a way. But will the people who have been switched be in danger? "
Li Yunxiao said, "I am not nervous because I have ten billion yuan stones on me. It is enough for me to use for more than ten years."
Xiao Minghui said, "… Young Master Yun, don't joke around."
Now, everyone had the urge to strangle Li Yunxiao to death, but they could not do so.
Li Yunxiao smiled gently and said, "Everyone, follow me. Follow closely. Don't get teleported away again. If you get teleported to another passageway, I won't be able to do anything." He explained, "These passages rely on the center of the formation absorbing the southern fire crystal gold mine. All the energy comes from the center of the formation. As long as we feel the energy fluctuation and combine it with the map in my mind, it is not difficult to find the center of the formation."
"Energy fluctuation?"
Ji Lin said in shock, "You can feel such a weak energy fluctuation?"
Li Yunxiao said, "Of course I can't feel it in the air, but the aura of the diamond jade itself is disturbed by the southern fire crystal's energy and will change. If we follow these changes, we will reach the center of the formation."
Xiao Minghui was secretly shocked and praised, "Young Master Yun is indeed a seventh rank Alchemist!"
Everyone remembered that this person in front of them had an even more terrifying identity – a seventh rank Alchemist.
Looking at the age of this person in front of them, thinking about his shocking battle strength and his identity as a seventh rank Alchemist, everyone felt extremely depressed and despondent. Such a huge gap was simply unbearable.
Li Yunxiao slowly felt the fire elemental fluctuations coming from the wall and began to slow down his pace.
At this time, the martial artists behind him all took out their weapons in order to not be left behind. They held tightly to the front and back and did not separate from each other. Finally, more than fifty people did not fall behind and slowly moved forward.
After a cup of tea's time, the passage suddenly widened and a strong heat wave hit them. The entire world turned bright red. It was actually the liquid southern fire crystal gold flowing in front of them.
