Half an hour later.
In a foggy living room of a cave house that was not very bright, a man with a trace of black gas was sitting on a wooden chair. He was staring at a spiritual herb with orange-leafed ball-shaped flower buds in his hand that was wrapped in pale yellow spiritual flame.
"Good! It really is the Burning Heart Grass. It's older than I thought. Not bad! "
A hint of satisfaction flashed in the man's eyes as he laughed.
"How would disciple dare to forget the task that Master's Uncle Tian gave me, but …" Liu Ming who was standing aside hurriedly replied when he saw this.
"Don't worry, I will not go back on my words since I promised you! The whereabouts of the void beastkin are recorded on this map. However, this place is very dangerous. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get it. Let me advise you, it's not too late to make more preparations before you set off. "
"In addition, this beastkin has the cultivation of the Jin Dan realm. Liu, you have to be careful. Don't become a delicious meal in its stomach instead of getting this beast. " Elder Tian still stared at the spiritual herb in his hand and continued to speak without lifting his head. At the same time, he raised his other hand and threw out an old scroll.
"Thank you for the reminder, Master's Uncle Tian!"
Liu Ming took the scroll and scanned it with his Divine Thought. He carefully put it into the Sumeru Ring and thanked Elder Tian with a fist salute.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can leave first." After Elder Tian got the spiritual herb, he hurriedly asked Liu Ming to leave as if he didn't want to be disturbed.
Seeing this, Liu Ming immediately bid farewell and left the cave house.
After that, he returned to the cave house, hung up the 'No Guests' sign and focused on studying the map in his hand.
Two months passed in a blink of an eye.
During this period, Calan came to Liu Ming's cave house several times.
However, the two of them only exchanged some cultivation experiences each time. They basically didn't talk about the engagement. After that, the woman didn't say much and just left as if the two of them were just ordinary friends.
In the eyes of those who didn't know what was going on, they naturally thought that Liu Ming and Calan had a close relationship.
As for Wen An, he didn't dare to do anything to Calan anymore. Every time he passed by Fallen Serene Peak and Misty Peak, he would take a detour. He didn't want to meet Liu Ming and Calan again.
On this day, Liu Ming once again checked on Scorpion and Fei 'er's condition.
In the end, he discovered that although their injuries had mostly recovered, their auras were still a bit weak. They spent most of their time sleeping every day. It seemed like these two spirit pets wouldn't be able to help in the search for the Nether Beast.
After thinking about it, Liu Ming decided to leave the two of them in the secret room of the cave house to recuperate. After casually instructing the two of them, he opened all the restrictions inside and outside the cave house and left his cave house. He made a sword gesture and turned into a golden light that tore through the sky. After a while, he disappeared into the vast mountains.
A few months later, somewhere in the northwest of the Middle Sky Continent.
As far as the eye could see, the ground was full of tall grass. When a gust of wind blew, it would ripple like the sea. The weather was dry and cold.
At the end of the grassland, there was a large dark red continuous mountain range. Looking at both sides, there was no end at a glance.
At the entrance of a market on the edge of the mountain range, a golden light broke through the air. After the light faded, a young man in a green robe fell from the air.
After taking a few glances at the nearby guards, he calmly walked out of the magic circle and walked to the nearby streets.
This young man was Liu Ming.
Using the map given by Elder Tian, he came to this place after a dozen teleportation and a few months of travel. However, he found that the nearby mountain range was very huge. There were all kinds of miasma and dangerous places. Even with the map, it was not easy to find this Nether Beast.
Fortunately, before he set off, he checked from the ancient books of the Sect that in the area where the Nether Beastkin appeared, there was a rare level 2 Nether Beast, Purple Crystal Marten. It was born with an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and it especially liked the strange smell that humans couldn't detect from the Nether Beast. Therefore, it could effectively help cultivators track the whereabouts of the Nether Beast.
Although the Purple Crystal Marten's cultivation was relatively low, it was timid and cunning. It also had several mysterious means to hide and save its life, so it was not easy to catch.
In addition, the Purple Crystal Marten's body length was only half a foot. It looked quite obedient and pleasant. The fur on its body was soft. Under the sunlight, there would be a faint layer of purple crystal light. It looked very gorgeous, so it was deeply loved by female cultivators. Some female disciples of aristocratic families were proud to raise a Purple Crystal Marten as a spiritual pet.
As a result, in the market, as soon as the Purple Crystal Marten appeared, it was bought by many female cultivators at a high price, so it was even more difficult to see it.
Half a month ago, Liu Ming heard that there was a shop called "Hundred Hunting House" in this market. It had sold Purple Crystal Marten many times, so he immediately rushed here.
There was no big Sect or Family near this market, so there were not many people coming and going. Most of them were only low rank casual cultivators of the Spirit Apostle Stage and the Condensation State. Occasionally, he could see a few people dressed like they came from the Sect or Family.
Therefore, in order not to attract attention, he changed into an ordinary green robe and suppressed his aura to the early stage of the Crystallization Period.
After Liu Ming walked around for a while, he stopped at the intersection of two streets, in front of a small wooden pavilion with a height of forty to fifty meters.
Outside the window of the attic, there was a large white triangular flag. The words "Hundred Hunts House" were written in black, slightly crooked characters.
After Liu Ming glanced at it, he smiled slightly and walked in without hesitation.
As soon as he stepped into the shop, a tall and burly man dressed in tiger skin and snake boots greeted him. He was dressed like a barbarian.
"Senior, what can I do for you?" The burly man glanced at Liu Ming, and he hurriedly cupped his fist and asked in surprise.
"I heard that you often sell Purple Crystal Marten here. Do you still have it now?" Liu Ming's gaze swept across the various demonic beast materials that were hung all over the shop and asked bluntly.
"This Purple Crystal Marten was indeed sold in this shop, but this beastkin is not easy to catch …" The burly man hesitated for a while when he heard the words, then he replied in a low voice.
"Hmph, what are you hesitating for? As long as you have this beast, you won't lose any spirit stone." Liu Ming was delighted, but he snorted and said coldly.
"Senior, please don't blame me. I don't have this beast in my shop, but I happened to hear that a friend caught one yesterday. It shouldn't be sold yet. Can senior sit down and wait for a moment? Let me send a message to ask. " The burly man only had the cultivation of the Condensation Period early stage. After being glanced at by Liu Ming, he only felt a chill all over his body. He didn't dare to hesitate and immediately replied.
"There's no need to sit. I'll wait here. Once the deal is done, you will naturally get your benefits." Liu Ming said without hesitation.
The burly man hurriedly nodded when he heard the words, then he walked to a secret room at the back of the shop.
Liu Ming had actually already inquired about the details of this Hundred Hunting House. This shop owner was not a kind person. Those rare materials and beastkin were not placed in the shop. He often used the excuse that there was no stock and there was no market to raise the price to make huge profits. The so-called friend was probably just an excuse.
However, as long as he could successfully purchase the Purple Crystal Marten, Liu Ming didn't care about some spirit stones.
After a while, the burly man walked out of the secret room and said with a smile.
"Reporting to senior, my brother does have a Purple Crystal Marten in his hand. He is willing to sell it to senior at the low price of five hundred thousand spirit stones! However, it is not in the market, but in his cave house. "
"Five hundred thousand spirit stones?" Liu Ming's face suddenly turned gloomy when he heard the words. He glanced at the burly man coldly.
This price was a far cry from the two hundred thousand Spirit Stones that he had heard before.
"Senior might not know this, but there are not many purple crystal marten in the first place. There are many places to capture it. In the dangerous area where the beastkin appears, there are often four or five people carefully waiting for it. They can only catch one after waiting for a few months. But since senior really wants it, I will make a decision for my friend and give senior some discount. How about four hundred thousand spirit stones? Consider the hundred thousand spirit stones as my gift to senior on behalf of my friend. I hope senior can visit our shop more often and take care of us occasionally. "The burly man said with a grin.
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to talk about the price anymore. Four hundred thousand it is. But how long will it take for your friend to deliver the Purple Crystal Marten?" Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and asked sternly.
"My friend lives in the nearby mountain range. Senior can come and get it in three days." The burly man was overjoyed and replied respectfully.
"Okay, I will come back in three days! Hehe, if I don't see this beast by then … "
After Liu Ming said this, he walked out of the shop with a chuckle.
Hearing this, the burly man's face suddenly turned pale.
After Liu Ming left the shop, he found an inn for cultivators to rest in and stayed there for the time being. He left the market in a flash and returned to the inn he was staying at.
Not long after he left the Hundred Hunting House, a cultivator with bright eyebrows, dressed in a white shirt with the demeanor of a gentleman walked in.
"Mister, what do you need? We have all kinds of beastkin related materials in our shop. "The burly man hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Do you have the Purple Crystal Marten?" The cultivator in white clothes didn't talk nonsense and asked straightforwardly.
"This … I'm afraid I have to disappoint mister. There is only one Purple Crystal Marten in our shop. It was reserved by a Crystallization Period senior this morning." The burly man said with a slight surprise when he heard the words.
"You call a mere Crystallization Period cultivator senior, then what am I? You're really blind!"
The cultivator in white clothes looked cold when he heard the words. After a "boom", a powerful aura of the Jin Dan State radiated out unreservedly.
Although the burly man who was only at the Condensation State was tall, he couldn't withstand such spiritual pressure. "Putong", he sat on the ground on the spot. There was no trace of blood on his face.
