"The environment here is quite good." Liu Ming looked around and nodded his head as he spoke.
The courtyard in front of them looked rather spacious, but it was a little shabby. It seemed like it hadn't been repaired for a long time.
"Senior is wise. This was originally the ancestral residence of the Yan Clan, which wasn't a small clan in the city. It was rumored that there was a demonic source of decent quality here. Unfortunately, the Yan Clan declined, and their descendants rebuilt this place into several individual courtyards. They were specially rented out to high-level demons who liked seclusion. "The brown-robed youth spoke frankly.
When Liu Ming heard this, he nodded slowly.
As the two of them were conversing, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes walked out of the Emerald Bamboo Residence.
"Shopkeeper Yan, I brought business for you. This senior wants to rent a temporary residence here." When the brown-robed youth saw the man in luxurious clothes, he immediately shouted out.
Liu Ming glanced at the man in luxurious clothes. He was only at the intermediate stage of the Crystal Level. No wonder the brown-robed youth said that his family declined.
"Senior came at the right time. My Emerald Bamboo Residence is only left with one courtyard." The man in luxurious clothes looked at Liu Ming. Seeing that Liu Ming's cultivation wasn't weak, his face immediately piled up a flattering smile and nodded repeatedly.
When Liu Ming heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face.
According to Mo Tian, the Devil Abyss Mystic Realm should be relatively hidden. Why did it feel like a large group of demons were flocking here before the time was up?
"Don't feel strange. Apart from the central royal clan and the four prestigious clans, there are plenty of major forces that also possess the Devil Abyss Key. However, most of them hold it together. In order to conceal themselves, most of the major forces would disguise themselves. Once they arrive, they would book several residences and wait for the opening of the mystic realm. "Mo Tian's voice sounded indifferently.
"Alright, let's take a look first. If the residences are suitable, I will rent them." When Liu Ming heard this, he thought about it and said so.
"Alright, senior, please come in." The man in luxurious clothes smiled and led the way in front.
The three of them walked into the Emerald Bamboo House. Sure enough, it was just as the brown-robed young man had said. It had been modified into several independent caves. They were not close to each other. There were about five or six of them.
"May I ask senior's name? How long are you going to stay in Moon City?" The middle-aged man carefully looked at Liu Ming as he walked.
His cultivation was not high, but his eyesight was not bad. Although he could not sense Liu Ming's cultivation, his intuition told him that Liu Ming should be an existence at the Jin Dan stage.
"My surname is Ye. You don't need to know anything else. If the place is suitable, I will rent it for one or two years. You will have to pay for it," Liu Ming said lightly.
"Yes, yes …" The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.
Not long after, under the lead of the finely dressed man, Liu Ming and the brown-robed young man arrived at the depths of the courtyard. It was a courtyard built against the mountain.
The well-dressed man took out a white token and shook it. A white light shot out from the token and landed on the door.
With a creak, the gate slowly opened, revealing a small courtyard.
"Senior Ye, please come in." The well-dressed man made a gesture to invite him in first.
Liu Ming did not decline modestly and stepped in.
There was a verdant bamboo planted in the courtyard. When the breeze blew, the bamboo leaves suddenly made a soft "hua hua" sound. It seemed abnormally quiet.
At the back of the courtyard were a few cave residences and stone rooms. Most of them were equipped with all the necessary training facilities, and there was even a small Earth Fire House.
Liu Ming walked around the inside and outside of the cave. Although the magic qi here was not very strong, the environment was indeed quite good.
"Well, I will rent this place for two years." Liu Ming nodded and said.
"Good, good, senior, the rent here is 50,000 magic crystals a year. If it is two years, it will be a total of 100,000 magic crystals." The well-dressed man said with a happy face.
When the brown-robed young man heard this, his face changed. The cost was really not low.
Liu Ming turned his hand and took out a small cloth bag. He threw it directly to the well-dressed man.
The well-dressed man quickly caught it and swept it with his spirit sense. His face suddenly showed a trace of joy. There were ten high-grade magic crystals in the cloth bag. They were emitting a strong black light.
"Thank you, senior. From today on, this cave is yours. This is the passage token. Please keep it." The well-dressed man smiled and handed the white token to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming received the token with a blank expression.
When the brown-robed young man saw this, his face was also relieved. It was good that Liu Ming was satisfied with the environment here. In this way, the black long blade already belonged to him.
The well-dressed man talked about the restrictions of the cave again. Then, he tactfully said goodbye and left.
The brown-robed young man originally planned to say goodbye, but he was stopped by Liu Ming.
"Senior, do you have any other orders?" The brown-robed young man looked at Liu Ming in awe and asked carefully.
Liu Ming could take out 100,000 magic crystals without hesitation. He was definitely not an ordinary demon. He was most likely in the later stage of the Jin Dan State.
For a low-rank demon of the Spirit Apostle Stage like him, the condensation period and crystallization period were all existences that he had to look up to, let alone the demon of the Jin Dan State.
"What's your name?" Liu Ming asked.
"I am Lu Quan." The brown-robed young man replied hurriedly.
"Lu Quan … I think you are also a relatively smart person. Here is a deal. From today onwards, you will collect the information you see in the city, especially those unfamiliar faces. Report to me once a day. 20 magic crystals each time. If you do well, I will give you a set of high-grade magic armor." Liu Ming said with a faint smile on his face.
When Lu Quan heard this, his face suddenly showed a look of excitement.
For a person like him like Hyacinth to lead the way, even if he was lucky, he would only earn a few low grade magic crystals after a day of hard work. Twenty magic crystals was definitely not a small amount to him. Furthermore, a high grade magic weapon level armor was a treasure even for a Crystal Level Demon Dweller.
Lu Quan's cultivation was low, but his mind was quite active. He took a deep breath, cupped his fist, and said to Liu Ming, "Reporting to senior, my cultivation is low, so I can't follow you …"
"You don't have to follow them. You just need to report the situation in the city to me every day. You don't have to do anything else." Liu Ming waved his hand and said.
"Really? Then I will definitely do my best to do as senior instructed. "Lu Quan's face was overjoyed, and he nodded repeatedly.
Liu Ming smiled slightly. He took out a white disk array and handed it to Lu Quan. He said, "In the future, you can use this to contact me."
"Yes, yes." Lu Quan quickly nodded and kept the white disk array.
Liu Ming gave a few more instructions, and Lu Quan quickly left.
Liu Ming stood in the small courtyard for a moment. He took out the white token and shook it gently. The door slowly closed. At the same time, a layer of milky white restriction array appeared in the cave abode.
He scanned with his Divine Sense and revealed a trace of surprise. The restriction array of the cave abode was quite brilliant. Not only did it have the effect of isolating Divine Sense, but its defensive ability was also quite strong.
After activating all the restrictions of the cave abode, Liu Ming walked into the secret room of the cave abode. With a wave of his hand, several rays of light shot out and landed everywhere in the cave abode, opening up a green light curtain of the formation.
After doing all this, Liu Ming let out a breath of relief. He walked to the praying mat in the secret room and sat down.
"What can a Spirit Apostle Stage Demon Person do? He can only gather some superficial information for you." Mo Tian's figure appeared and spoke with disdain.
"You previously determined that the Liu Clan would secretly search for my traces. Since that is the case, it is better for me to stay in seclusion for more than a year. I will leave a spy outside. As long as he can understand the general situation in the city, it will be fine. "Liu Ming curled his lips and acted as though he didn't care.
"Kid Liu, aren't you too timid? A mere Liu Clan can scare you to this extent …" Mo Tian let out a mischievous laugh and spoke with some ridicule.
"The less trouble, the better. If something were to happen to me now, wouldn't Senior's plan to condense the Demon Body be ruined?" Liu Ming didn't get angry and spoke with a smile instead.
Mo Tian snorted and waved his hand. A White Jade Slips flew in front of Liu Ming.
Liu Ming reached out his hand to catch it and raised his brows.
"This Jade Slips contains the places that I visited in the Devil Abyss previously. They have all been drawn into a map. There are also some of my experiences in the Devil Abyss. You can take it for reference." Mo Tian spoke indifferently.
Liu Ming was delighted when he heard the statement and said with cupped hands, "Many thanks, Senior."
Mo Tian snorted again and moved, turning into a black light and entering Liu Ming's body.
Liu Ming played with the Jade Slips in his hand and didn't look at it immediately. Instead, he waved his hand, and a green square-shaped array board appeared in front of him.
He then turned his hand, took out a silver talisman, and placed it on the array disc. Then, he muttered an incantation, and a burst of green light appeared on the green array disc. The light wrapped around the silver talisman, and condensed into a green array formation that was about a foot in size.
A moment later, the green array had a flash of radiance, and a blurry figure appeared.
"Clan Head?" A voice echoed from the small green figure, and it sounded like Qing Gu.
"Elder Qing Gu, is the clan doing well now?" Liu Ming's expression changed as he asked.
"Is it really the Clan Head? That's great. Ever since the battle of Black Wind Gorge and the news of the Liu Clan's betrayal spread out, we have been very worried about you. "Qing Gu spoke with some excitement.
"I am doing very well now. Have you all left the Tibetan Province?" Liu Ming felt warmth in his heart as he spoke.
"Back then, when I heard that there was an unforeseen event on the battlefield, I immediately brought my clansmen and left the Tuo Zang Mountain Range. After I contacted Qing Fang, I followed your instructions and immediately migrated the entire clan. Now, our Qing Clan has settled in a place near the Yan Yun Mountain Range in the Quan Province." Qing Gu said.
Liu Ming's expression relaxed when he heard the statement. The Quan Province was in the central region of the Ten Thousand Demon Continent and wasn't far from the Yu Province. If the Qing Clan moved there, they should be safe.
"Alright. All of you should recuperate there for a while. I might need some time before I can return. The Ten Thousand Demon Continent is in a state of turmoil now. All of you should try not to stir up any trouble. Wait for me to return before making a long-term plan." Liu Ming thought for a moment and instructed.
"Yes." Qing Gu quickly responded.
In the following period of time, Liu Ming inquired about the clan's situation and ended the communication with the Qing Clan.
Now that the Qing Clan was doing well, he could be at ease and put all his attention on this trip to the Devil Abyss.
After Liu Ming kept the green array board and spirit talisman, he flipped his hand and took out the Jade Slips that Mo Tian gave him. He released his divine senses to probe it and studied it carefully.
