Wu Ming was very patient.
To wait for Bao Bujue to make a name for himself, he hid outside Bao Bujue's house and followed him day and night for a month.
With his general-level power, Bao Bujue naturally did not notice anything wrong.
In fact, afraid of any interference, he even sent Hou Yong and Zuo Linling away and operated on his own.
"Bao Bujue, time to work!"
"Okay, okay!"
…
After a busy day, Bao Bujue carried a bottle of old wine and sauntered back to his bare house.
In reality, this was just a rented house. Every few days, the landlord would come to his house to collect debts. It looked quite pitiful.
But Wu Ming noticed something different.
"Hmm … This Bao Bujue's daily life is quite routine, like a new spirit controller. He does odd jobs in the city, earns spirit coins, and buys fine wine. He gets drunk day and night …
"But … his skills are not bad. Even though it is rough work, he earns ten percent more than a normal spirit controller apprentice, and he seems to be in cahoots with the wine seller. He secretly swaps the fine wine for inferior wine. Is he saving money in secret to prevent the enemy from sabotaging his business? Is he pretending to be weak? No wonder he is the future king of assassins! His mind is as deep as the sea, and his heart is as dangerous as the mountains and rivers! "
He watched silently as Bao Bujue got drunk and was humiliated daily, but he cowered like an honest man. A chill rose in his heart.
Unfortunately, no matter how cunning this king of assassins was, he was no match for Wu Ming because he was facing an enemy who knew his background and was going all out against him!
"One month … Even if the Star Moon Empire has not found out my identity, they should know my general location. The enemy should be here by now, right?"
Wu Ming was slightly anxious. The time advantage that he had gained through the Golden Eagle was slowly slipping away, but the prey had not fallen into the trap.
This was a competition of patience. Without a doubt, the first to lose patience would be the loser.
His eyes darkened as he looked at Bao Bujue, who appeared to be asleep, and his figure slowly disappeared.
…
Three days later.
Pa!
A slap landed heavily on Bao Bujue's face, causing him to spin and fall to the ground. It was as if a dye shop had opened on his face.
"Haha … Bao Bujue, you didn't expect this, did you? Back then, your talent surpassed mine, and so did your fortuitous encounters. That was why you were able to step on my head. But now, you are just a dog!"
On the other side, a Soldier Level Spirit Controller released his foot that was stepping on Bao Bujue's face and opened his legs. "If you don't want to die here today, crawl under my crotch!"
"I … No! No!!! "
Bao Butong pretended to be in a difficult position, but in his heart he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He thought to himself, "Even if there's a knife in the word 'endure', I still have to endure! I will remember everything that happened today! One day, I'll make you pay me back tenfold or hundredfold! '
"Oh?"
The spirit controller seemed to have seen something interesting. He smiled and said, "As long as you go through, I'll buy you a pot of good wine. What do you think?"
"Wine?!"
The muscles on Bao Bujue's face twitched, and his eyes seemed to glow. Finally, he could not resist the urge to stand up and slowly crawl forward.
"Haha … Haha … This is my reward for buying you wine! You're useless, and you'll be useless for the rest of your life! "
After venting his anger, the spirit controller threw a small bag of spirit coins at Bao Bujue and strode away.
"Look! That's Bao Bujue! "
"He's the shame of us Soldier Level Spirit Controllers!"
"He's not just a Soldier Level Spirit Controller. He's the shame of all Spirit Controllers!"
…
A large crowd surrounded them, pointing and laughing. Bao Bujue's face was expressionless. He walked forward to pick up the bag of spirit coins and went to a tavern. "Owner, give me a pot of Ice Jade Wine!"
"F * ck! This drunkard really knows how to enjoy life … "
"He used the spirit coins that he got from crawling under someone else's crotch to buy wine. This person's skin is so thick that he's invincible!"
The customers around him laughed sheepishly.
"You again … Give me the money and get out of here!"
The owner of the tavern, Hyacinth, walked out and snatched the coins from Bao Bujue's hand. He threw the half-empty pot of wine on the table. "I don't have a whole pot. This bit of money is only enough for half a pot. Get out, or else I'll beat you up!"
Inadvertently, the two of them looked at each other.
"Haha … Good job, owner!"
"Hyacinth, you're such a kind person. If it were me, I'd take the money and chase him away …"
…
Amidst the laughter, Bao Bujue's face showed cowardice, and he ran away.
"No! I can't take it anymore! "
At night, a shadow flew out from his residence. "With today's money, I've collected enough spirit coins. I'll go buy an Illusionary Spirit now!"
For a Spirit Controller to stand out, they had to contract at least an Elite Spirit.
Wu Ming had done business before, so he knew that Elite Spirit Eggs, even if they were Illusionary Spirit Eggs, could easily be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands. Especially the small ones, they could be sold for hundreds of thousands!
"For the sake of our friendship, this will be the last time!"
In the back alley of the tavern, Hyacinth sneaked out and handed a bag of spirit coins to Bao Bujue. He gave him some instructions and then turned to leave.
"Don't worry! There won't be a next time! "
Bao Bujue clenched his fists tightly.
The night was dark.
He walked quickly and took out a large number of spirit coins and crystal cards from the gaps and hidden compartments.
"Tsk tsk … Good fellow, at least seven or eight thousand, right? I wonder how many years he's been saving up … "
Wu Ming followed closely behind him, and his heart was filled with excitement. "This person definitely took out spirit coins to buy a second Illusionary Spirit … Could the key to the Phantom Seer's transformation be here?"
In his memory, when the Phantom Seer appeared, it was a Warrior-level Illusionary Spirit, and it was not in the form that he had observed before.
It was obvious that this change might happen today!
"If he wants to buy an Illusionary Spirit Egg, he will choose … the black market!"
Wu Ming came to this conclusion. He was not surprised to see Bao Bujue change into a new set of clothes, cover his face tightly, and rush toward the outskirts of Central State City.
"I knew it! Even though his money came from a legal source, if he went to the shops to buy it openly, he would be killed by his enemies the next day, so this is the only choice … "
Zhongzhou City was a large commercial city, and there was a black market.
The items sold here did not care about the origin, only the price. There were many fakes, but of course, there were many rare items. Furthermore, once one walked out of the black market, one would not be responsible for their safety.
Naturally, such a market would not be inside Zhongzhou City but in the suburbs.
Bao Bujue found the black market with familiarity, and without checking his identity, he entered directly.
Boom!
At the bottom of the dilapidated building was a large underground cavern. Many shops were lined up, and the lights were bright. The later it was, the more lively the place became.
"Here we go again … the black market …"
A trace of sadness appeared on Bao Bujue's face, but he pulled himself together and quickly scanned the shop that sold Illusionary Spirit Eggs.
"Big Bad Wolf? Normal species, don't want it!
"Gale Eagle, elite species! Unfortunately, the tail is damaged … Give up!
"Sun Flower Demon? Excellent attributes, but too expensive … I can't afford it … "
…
Wu Ming followed behind Bao Bujue, and when he saw that Bao Bujue was lingering in the shop that sold the young Spiritual Beasts, he gritted his teeth and went to the shop that sold Illusionary Spirit Eggs.
Compared to the young Spiritual Beasts, the price of the Illusionary Spirit Eggs was naturally lower, but the risk was higher, and the Spirit Controller had to be careful.
On the shelves, the Illusionary Spirit Eggs were as white as jade, and they glowed brightly.
Bao Bujue suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to the other corner.
Over there, there were some Illusionary Spirit Eggs that were not in good condition, and some had not even been appraised.
"This is …"
He picked up one of the Illusionary Spirit Eggs, and a complicated light suddenly shone in his eyes. "… It can sense my Illusionary Spirit … What kind of egg is this?"
Then, Bao Bujue seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned the egg over, and he saw a mark that looked like a star. "As I expected … there is one!"
He took two steps back, and he mumbled to himself.
In his mind, he was instantly reminded of the Illusionary Spirit Egg that he had cursed a million times.
"The same location … the same mark … Is it a coincidence?"
Even though Bao Bujue had some talent, he did not have a good teacher, and his ability was average. Otherwise, he would have become rich a long time ago, and he would not have had such a hard time.
The reason why he had gambled on that Illusionary Spirit Egg was that he had a fortuitous encounter and had read Jia Kongming's notes.
His teacher, the old ranger who had brought him into the Spirit Controller's Hall, was not very powerful, but he was very knowledgeable. Among his belongings, there was a page that was said to be one of Jia Kongming's manuscripts!
Even though the manuscripts were mostly broken, the latter half recorded one of the characteristics of a certain Illusionary Spirit Egg from the Divine Underworld, and it was this star mark!
Unfortunately, the manuscripts were broken. He only knew that this mark was most likely an Illusionary Spirit from the Divine Underworld, but he did not know what kind it was or what kind of ability it had.
But it was because of his blind obedience to Jia Kongming that he had gambled once. Now, was he going to gamble a second time?
"How much is this Illusionary Spirit Egg?"
He asked in a hoarse voice after hesitating for a moment.
"This is an Illusionary Spirit that we appraisers are not sure about. It is very likely that it has other special abilities. Only one thousand Spirit Coins!"
The waiter said with a smile. The expression on his face made Bao Bujue feel like he had returned to the past.
"One thousand?"
This was not a small number. Even though he could afford it, the budget for buying an Elite Illusionary Spirit Egg would be greatly reduced.
Also, did he really have to gamble on this?
Without the savings of one thousand Spirit Coins, he might lose the chance to meet the Illusionary Spirit that he truly desired!
He hesitated, put the Illusionary Spirit Egg back on the shelf, walked two steps away, and looked at the other counters.
"Chi chi!"
At this time, on his wrist, a circle of black lines appeared. The harmless Illusionary Spirit had automatically communicated with his soul, and through the contract, it sent a reluctant emotion.
"Wait a minute! Maybe I shouldn't give up! "
Bao Bujue turned around, as if he had made up his mind, but he suddenly found that the Illusionary Spirit Egg was already in the hands of another customer.
