In an inconspicuous shop next to the main street of East County City, Gu Fei stood in front of the counter. He had already changed his appearance and figure. This was a transformation of his flesh and bones. It was not a disguise technique, so no one could see through Gu Fei.
Behind the counter, the old Taoist was sweating profusely. He was just a cultivator at the Imperial Void Realm. How would he dare to offend someone at the level of Gu Fei?
This young man was unfathomable. He might even be an Immortal God.
"Well, if Senior really wants this human-shaped stone, then Senior will probably just have to pay some immortal crystals." The old Taoist did not dare to offer a price because he did not know the unknown value of this dark and swarthy human-shaped stone.
If he were to offer a random price, he might offend someone.
"Hmph! You're quite a clever guy! " Gu Fei glanced at the old Taoist and said indifferently. This old Taoist was very shrewd. He was a wily old fox.
The strange aura emitted from the broken stone man was very faint. Gu Fei believed that he was the only one among the Martial Emperors of the same level who could sense it.
Gu Fei really wanted to break this stone man and see what was hidden inside.
He pondered for a moment, then took out an immortal crystal the size of half a palm and threw it to the old Taoist. He then directly took the stone man from the counter.
When the one-foot-long stone man was taken by Gu Fei, Gu Fei was surprised to sense an extremely weak fluctuation of life.
Gu Fei was taken aback. Could it be that this stone man was actually a living thing?
The fluctuation of life on the stone man was faintly discernible. Even with Gu Fei's Divine Will, he could only sense it when it was in his hand.
When the old Daoist caught the piece of Immortal crystal that Gu Fei threw out, he cried out in shock and jumped up from the ground. It was as if he had caught a piece of red-hot divine iron.
"Pa!" With a thud, the crystal fell onto the counter. Then, a cloud of green smoke rose up, and a hole was burned out of the counter by the crystal before it fell down.
"This is …"
The old Taoist was surprised and happy. This time, he had made a fortune, and a big one at that. It was an immortal crystal that contained the essence of fire. It was as red as blood and surrounded by the power of fire.
Immortal Crystal of Fire. Such an Immortal Crystal contained pure fire-elemental essence Qi. It could already be called a supreme-grade Immortal Crystal. This piece of Immortal Crystal of Fire was half the size of a palm. It was worth at least 50,000 kilograms of ordinary grade Immortal Crystals.
There were as many cultivators in the Heaven Realm as there were hairs on an ox, but all the cultivation resources were in the hands of the great sects. The immortal crystal mines were even monopolized by all the great powers.
Immortal crystals were extremely important to cultivators. Immortal crystals contained the essence of heaven and earth, and were condensed from the essence of heaven and earth. Most importantly, absorbing the essence contained within Immortal crystals was a hundred times faster than absorbing the essence that drifted in the world.
The jade box was engraved with runes and there was a spiritual light flowing on it. However, the essence of fire still seeped out from the jade box.
The jade box was engraved with runes and there was a spiritual light flowing on it. However, traces of fire essence still seeped out from the jade box.
"Thank you, senior!"
The old Taoist was overjoyed. This immortal crystal was enough for him to exchange for a large number of ordinary immortal crystals. With the support of a large number of immortal crystals, his cultivation was expected to break through to the Demigod Realm.
The Heaven Realm did not lack spiritual lands and spiritual veins. However, some small sects did not have any decent spiritual lands and spiritual veins at all. These areas were occupied by the great powers. Outsiders would be killed even if they peeped at them from the outside, let alone entering.
Therefore, immortal crystals became an indispensable thing for ordinary cultivators.
If one had tens of thousands of immortal crystals, it would be equivalent to carrying a spiritual energy source that could continuously provide spiritual energy. Even if one could not absorb spiritual energy from the outside world, one could still cultivate for a long time.
The old Taoist was just a disciple of a small sect in the Eastern County City. This small sect was attached to the Profound Heaven Holy Land. In the eyes of the Profound Heaven Holy Land, such a small sect was like a group of slaves that could run errands for them.
Not only would they not provide any cultivation resources to such a small sect, but they would also make these small sects pay tribute regularly.
"Alright!"
Gu Fei nodded and put away the broken stone man. Then, he turned around and walked out of the inconspicuous little shop. Gu Fei did not expect to see something that interested him here.
Not long after Gu Fei left, a few cultivators with unfriendly expressions appeared outside the little shop. They did not say anything and directly rushed into the shop.
Soon, these people walked out of the shop.
The old Taoist sat behind the counter in the shop. His face was ferocious and horrifying. Black blood flowed out of his seven orifices. His eyes were wide open, and he was no longer breathing.
The old Taoist was dead. Extreme joy turned to sorrow. He obtained a top-grade immortal crystal, but he died before he could enjoy it. The person who killed him probably had his eyes on his immortal crystal.
People came and went on the streets of the Eastern County City. There was no lack of cultivators among them. Gu Fei did not think too much and took out the fire-element immortal crystal. He also did not seal the immortal crystal's aura. The cultivators passing by outside the shop would definitely be able to sense the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the immortal crystal.
After Gu Fei left, those people made their move.
After Gu Fei turned a few streets, he discovered that he was being followed. He did not make a sound and continued to wander around the city. He discovered that there were two people following him. Furthermore, their cultivations were in the Void Controlling Realm.
Gu Fei could not help but wonder how he was being followed.
He had already changed his appearance and restrained his aura. Even if Hei Tian, Xiaoqing, and the others were in front of him, they would not be able to recognize him, let alone others.
"Hidden Moon Pavilion?"
Gu Fei stopped in front of a pavilion next to the main street in front of the City Lord's Mansion. The liveliest and most prosperous place in the Eastern County City was near the City Lord's Mansion.
This was the center of the Eastern County City. There were many pavilions here. Those who could own property here had some background and were not to be trifled with.
The two people who were secretly following Gu Fei peeped from afar. They seemed to have some misgivings and didn't dare to get too close. When one of them saw Gu Fei walk into the Hidden Moon Pavilion, he immediately turned around and left, leaving only one person to follow him.
Gu Fei walked directly into the Hidden Moon Pavilion. The moment he stepped through the door, he felt as if he was passing through a layer of void. There was actually another world inside.
"Using power to magnify a void several times?"
What entered his eyes was a dazzling sight. The people who came and went were not ordinary people, but cultivators with cultivation. Even the women who came out to greet the guests were cultivators.
"What kind of place is this?"
As Gu Fei was thinking, a woman in white came to greet him.
After a simple conversation, Gu Fei learned that this Hidden Moon Pavilion had a total of thirteen floors. Each floor was a place to receive different cultivators.
The higher the cultivation of the person, the higher the level of the reception.
With the cultivation that Gu Fei had displayed so far, he could only go up to the third floor. This made Gu Fei a little interested. This rule of the Hidden Moon Pavilion was a bit interesting.
The first floor of the Hidden Moon Pavilion was the main hall. It was a void with a radius of a thousand feet and could accommodate hundreds of people.
Under the guidance of the woman, Gu Fei walked up to the third floor of the Hidden Moon Pavilion. He saw that this place was also a void that had been magnified by at least one time using spiritual power.
The furnishings here were different from the first floor's hall. The decorations here were antique and very elegant. The woman guided Gu Fei to a seat by the window.
After sitting down, the woman retreated.
Then, an even more beautiful woman stepped forward. This woman was even more beautiful than the woman in white from before, and she had an otherworldly aura about her.
"A female cultivator of the Imperial Void Realm?"
When Gu Fei saw this woman in a light green dress, he couldn't help but be surprised. A female cultivator of the Imperial Void Realm was actually a waitress here. This was really surprising.
How could such a female cultivator be willing to be a waitress?
The more Gu Fei thought about it, the more he felt that this Hidden Moon Pavilion was different. Even with his cultivation from the outside world, he could only reach the third floor. It should be known that this Hidden Moon Pavilion had thirteen floors!
Could it be that the floors above the thirteenth floor were used to entertain Monarchs?
The woman in the light green dress handed over a booklet. Gu Fei took it and opened it, only to see the details of the Hidden Moon Pavilion written on it.
The Hidden Moon Pavilion could be said to be a shop, but it could also be said to be an immortal's restaurant. In Eastern County City, it was a very special existence.
Every six months, this Hidden Moon Pavilion would hold an auction. During this time, the cultivators near Eastern County City would gather in Eastern County City to participate in the Hidden Moon Pavilion's auction.
Even some hidden experts would appear at the Hidden Moon Pavilion's auction from time to time.
"The Hidden Moon Pavilion's auction is in ten days?"
When Gu Fei saw the date on the booklet, he couldn't help but mutter to himself. Would there be anything that would interest him at this auction? He continued to flip through the booklet in his hand.
"Another golem?"
The booklet introduced many things that would be auctioned in ten days. Gu Fei saw the image of a black and swarthy golem. From the introduction on the side, he knew that this was a golem that was unearthed from an ancient ruin in the Heaven Realm.
The golem was only a foot tall and seemed to be carved from a single piece of black stone. However, it also seemed to be formed naturally, giving people a feeling that it was made by the heavens.
Moreover, this golem was much more complete than the one that Gu Fei had obtained from the old daoist. There were almost no signs of damage.
When Gu Fei bought the broken golem, he never imagined that his immortal crystal would end up killing the old daoist.
An intact golem was a great attraction to Gu Fei. No matter how good the other items were, they couldn't attract Gu Fei.
Would this golem also have a strange aura? Gu Fei was looking forward to it!
