Star Luminous, who stood beside Tan Xiu with a gloomy expression, slowly said, "How many experts did the Everlasting Palace send? Are there any outstanding characters? "
Yue Tian turned to glance at Star Luminous and slowly shook his head. "I don't know exactly how many experts have come. But according to my observation, there should be at least a few hundred people, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to stay in this Hundred Joy Building. As for outstanding characters, there is one. "
"What's it called?" Star Luminous asked.
"I heard from others that he's a Perfected Golden Immortal called Toad Monster," said Yue Tian. He's very powerful. Back then, the experts who came to the Hundred Joyous House to look for girls were all beaten out by him. "
Toad monster?
Star Luminous and Star Peng glanced at each other, hatred flashing across their faces. If it weren't for the fact that they knew each other's strength, they would have rushed out and killed them.
Tan Xiu asked lightly, "What? Do you have a grudge against him? "
"I'm just asking casually." Star Luminous hurriedly shook his head and said, "After all, many forces came to the Hundred Joyous House to have fun, yet they were all driven away by the Everlasting Palace's people. The more we know about the Everlasting Palace's people, the earlier we can guard against them when we arrive at the Secret Palace in the future. "
Tan Xiu nodded slowly, satisfied with Star Luminous's answer. Hiding their identities and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. Only by knowing how to endure could they survive and compete with the other party again and again. It seemed that his teachings to these two little fellows back then had not been in vain.
Eight days later.
When the caravan passed by a teahouse, Yue Tian introduced, "The Immortals of the Inner Pill Sect live here. There are hundreds of them, and I heard that their leader is Venerable Hundred Refined Immortal, a terrifying Supremacy Stage powerhouse. Rumor has it that this Inner Pill Sect is a great alchemy sect in the Immortal World. This time, they even brought a large number of pills with all kinds of miraculous effects. Thus, they are sought after by countless forces. I'm afraid that Hundred Refined Immortal Sovereign will be grinning from ear to ear. "
Tan Xiu said lightly, "You wait outside, we'll go in and buy the pills."
Finished.
The moment he stood up, he pressed his hands on Star Luminous and Star Peng's shoulders. Their eyes were filled with killing intent as he floated to the teahouse's door. His eyes swept over the four Golden Immortals guarding the door and lightly said, "I want to buy some Immortal pills."
The four of them cupped their fists, and one of them asked, "What is your background?"
Tan Xiu casually made up a name and entered the teahouse with Star Luminous and Star Peng, who had calmed down. A white-haired old man came to greet them and asked, "Do you have the Purple Fragrance Pill?"
The old man sized up Tan Xiu a few times and said with a smile, "There are still some Purple Fragrance Pills left. Honored guests, please follow me."
Tan Xiu and the other two followed the old man to the second floor and stopped in a corner of the hall. The old man opened the cabinet door, turned around and asked, "How many Purple Fragrance Pills does the esteemed guest need?"
"Give us 10, please," said Tan Xiu.
The old man faintly smiled and picked a cyan jade bottle. He handed it to Tan Xiu and smilingly said, "There are exactly 10 Purple Fragrance Pills in this porcelain bottle, for a total of 10 million Immortal Crystals."
Tan Xiu took out 100,000 Crystal Essences and handed it to the old man, asking, "Do you have any Thunder Pills?"
"Thunder Pills?"
The old man's expression slightly changed. After receiving the 100,000 Crystal Essences, he cautiously observed Tan Xiu and the other two a few times. Then, he solemnly said, "We do have some Thunder Pills here, but only a few. The price of each Thunder Pill is also very expensive. Do you really want to buy them, Honored Guest? "
"How much?" asked Tan Xiu.
"5 million Crystal Essences," answered the old man.
"Give me one!" Tan Xiu nodded. "It's inevitable to run into some terrifying Perfected Golden Immortals during this trip to the Secret Palace. I can use this Thunder Pill to escape if I'm caught in a desperate situation."
The old man nodded and said, "Please follow me to the third floor."
Star Luminous and Star Peng followed behind the old man and Tan Xiu. Their expressions were a bit strange and they secretly transmitted their voices to each other.
"Senior Brother, not only did this Great Tang Heavenly Emperor come here with a fake name, but he's also very generous. He even dares to buy a Thunder Pill. He's definitely not a simple character, so we need to be more vigilant against him. "
"My opinion is the opposite of yours. Since he's willing to buy a Thunder Pill, it proves that he has the ability to kill a Perfected Golden Immortal. The power of the lightning core could even kill an early-stage Perfected Golden Immortal expert if he was caught off guard. Even a late-stage Perfected Golden Immortal expert would be severely injured if he was caught off guard and struck by the lightning core. If he wants to harm us, he can directly kill us with just a single Thunder Pill. Hence, he doesn't need to use any tricks on us. "
"You're right."
Soon after.
Tan Xiu bought a Thunder Pill and paid 5 million Crystal Essences, he also saw most of the third floor of the teahouse and gained some understanding of the Inner Pill Sect inside. He also firmly remembered their appearances in his mind.
After leaving the teahouse.
Tan Xiu looked at Yue Tian and lightly said, "Take the sixth road on the left and go straight back to the city gate. We'll be several times faster there. "
"Understood!"
Yue Tian didn't know why Tan Xiu changed his mind, but he still respectfully drove the two Windrunner Beasts back according to Tan Xiu's instructions.
A day later.
As the caravan passed by the Everlasting Palace's Hundred Joyous House, Tang Xiu looked at the weapon shop in the opposite direction and lightly said, "Let's go inside and pick some handy immortal weapons. Wait for us here!"
Yue Tian hesitated and said, "Senior Immortal, you can find Blacksmith Old Yue inside if you really want to buy immortal artifacts here. Looking at the time, he should be busy inside. The price of immortal artifacts will be cheaper if you look for him. "
"Your surname is Yue, and the blacksmith you mentioned is also surnamed Yue. Are you a family?" Tan Xiu raised his brows.
"He's my father," said Yue Tian with a dry smile. Usually, my father would forge some weapons in his own shop. But in recent years, he's been called here for three days every ten days to help the people here forge some gadgets. "
"Got it."
Tan Xiu casually replied and led Star Luminous and Star Peng into the shop's entrance.
Thousand Hammer Sect.
It was an equally famous artificer sect like the Artificer Sect and also had a Supremacy Stage powerhouse overseeing it. Moreover, he was also a Grandmaster Artificer who could refine ninth-grade immortal artifacts.
"What do you need to buy, Honored Guests?"
A young man in the shop greeted them with a smile and asked.
"Just take a look around. You can go and busy yourself first," said Tan Xiu lightly. "We'll naturally call you over if we see a weapon we like."
"Understood!"
The smile on the young man's face immediately disappeared and he turned to leave.
After entering the shop, Tan Xiu went straight to a shelf on the second floor. He only glanced at the immortal artifacts placed on it and then ignored them. His eyes swept through the windows of the opposite building and silently memorized the faces of some people inside.
Half an hour later.
Tan Xiu turned and left. After returning to the carriage, he lightly said, "We can go now."
Star Luminous and Star Peng saw Tan Xiu's behavior and a huge mystery arose in their hearts. They followed Tan Xiu this time and noticed some clues.
"Did you notice it, Senior Brother? This Great Tang Heavenly Emperor is very suspicious, "said Star Peng with a voice transmission.
"You're right. He's indeed suspicious," replied Star Luminous. "After we came to the Boundless City, he only stopped at two places except for the guide at the city gate. The first place is the Hundred Joyous Pavilion, where the Everlasting Palace is located. The second place is here, opposite to the Inner Pill Sect. Also, we saw clearly that he didn't come here to buy immortal artifacts but to observe the situation of the Everlasting Palace. "
"I also noticed that," said Star Peng. "What I'm wondering now is what his true identity is? Why is he secretly observing the Everlasting Palace and the Inner Pill Sect? "
A glint flashed in Star Luminous's eyes and he said, "I'm sure that he's not one of us because we've never seen him in the past seven or eight hundred years. Unless his current appearance isn't his real appearance and his aura has changed. "
"I think he should be one of us, Senior Brother," said Star Peng. "But I don't know which side he belongs to. Else, he wouldn't have given us immortal artifacts and pills for no reason, nor would he have kept us with him. He wouldn't have secretly observed the Everlasting Palace and the Inner Pill Sect if he wasn't one of us. I don't know if you've noticed a detail or not. "
"What detail?"
Star Luminous's expression shifted and he immediately asked with a voice transmission.
Star Peng said, "When we were outside the Inner Pill Sect, we wanted to kill the people of the Inner Pill Sect, but he directly stood up and pressed his hand on our shoulders."
Star Luminous fell into silence.
He didn't pay attention to it before, but after hearing Star Peng's words, he immediately realized that it was absolutely abnormal.
"Did he discover our true identity?" asked Star Luminous in disbelief after a long time.
"I don't know," said Star Peng with a forced smile.
Inside the city gate.
Tan Xiu took out 10 Immortal Crystals and casually threw them to Yue Tian. Then, he lightly said, "You've performed well these days, so this is your reward. Remember, we're strangers from now on. You've never seen us before. "
"I understand!"
Yue Tian's heart trembled, and he immediately said respectfully.
After returning to the Myriad Golden Sail with Star Luminous and Star Peng at the fastest speed, Tan Xiu halted his pace on the second floor. He looked at Star Luminous and Star Peng with a tranquil expression and lightly said, "The harvest this time is pretty good. You two should have inquired about some information you want to know. So you should know who you should pay attention to avoid when you go to the Secret Palace later, right? "
"I got it."
The two nodded.
"We'll set off in a month and a half," said Tan Xiu.
Upon seeing that Tan Xiu wanted to go to the third floor, Star Luminous hurriedly asked, "Great Tang Heavenly Emperor, can we ask you something?"
Tan Xiu had his back to them and didn't stop his pace. Instead, he lightly said, "You've already guessed it, so why bother asking? Some things will lose their meaning once they're revealed. "
