Obviously, the surrounding people did not believe this old Daoist at all. It seemed like he had a bad record.
"Sure, since someone is treating us, we are naturally happy."
Xiao Chen had seen the eighth heavenly stele before, but it was wordless and was sealed in the deepest part of the world of death.
"Wait, what did you say?"
Not long after, the crowd dispersed. Xiao Chen's group walked up and asked casually. They did not pay much attention to it.
It had to be said that this ancient city was very lively. There were people coming and going on the streets. There were all kinds of strange races. For example, there was a ten-meter-long centipede queen, a furry snowman, a demonic bat god from hell. Comparatively speaking, there were only a few humanoid cultivators.
"Not selling!"
"I know you won't believe me. Come, come, come, I will tell you in detail. How about we find a restaurant and talk while eating?"
The restaurants of Coldmoon City were naturally not ordinary restaurants. The food they sold was all refined from the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, which could increase one's cultivation. Naturally, the price was ridiculously high. One needed to exchange for natural treasures. Money was useless.
The old Daoist formed hand seals as he spoke, displaying a mysterious divine seal technique.
The old Daoist bowed and said, "Naturally, I will not let you suffer a loss. I will definitely buy it at the fairest price."
They went to the fifth floor, the highest floor, and entered a sealed room to prevent others from eavesdropping. The old Daoist earnestly told them about the brick's origin.
The goat spirit's eyes immediately widened. The two horns on his head flickered with cold light like two scimitars. His goatee curled up three times before he said in a disdainful voice, "Country bumpkin, you have no knowledge. This is the authentic Immortal Meat. It has been growing for almost ten thousand years. I won't trade for it unless it is a rare treasure."
In the end, the Killing Wolf was beaten out of the room.
"The story you made up is not very pleasant …"
"Can you let me take a look first? I will pay a reasonable price as well …"
Xiao Chen was very straightforward.
The old Taoist hesitated for a moment before saying, "My primogenitor, the Little Stone Emperor, once comprehended a supreme mysterious technique from the Holy Brick. Unfortunately, my descendants only learned the slightest bit of it. I can display part of its essence as proof."
"Very well, this old Daoist will treat you today. Let's form a good relationship."
At this point, he formed a seal with one hand and immediately displayed a supreme mystical seal that had never been seen before.
"Legend has it that in ancient times, my ancestor was invincible …"
"Just in case, it's better to wait for me to recover a little so that nothing goes wrong."
"You've been smashed with a black brick, yet you're still so particular about it. I think that your ancestor, the Little Stone Emperor, must have had his head smashed. Did he worship the brick?"
The old Taoist was incomparably embarrassed and didn't reply for a long time. After a long time, he said, "Indeed, I've been worshiped and studied day and night …"
Although Xiao Chen could not make a move against that Ninth Heaven Ancestor God, he needed to know his every move. Not only did Shi Wuya want to make use of this person in the future, but Xiao Chen also wanted to use him to find out the location of Little Stone Monarch's tomb.
The old Taoist muttered to himself.
Could it be that the Little Stone Emperor from the Archaic Era had truly been suppressed by a stone tablet that descended from the heavens, and had obtained a portion of the mental cultivation method on it? If it was true, then it was highly possible that it was the ninth Heavenly Stele that had never appeared in the world!
Shi Wuya was extremely cautious. It was not without reason that he was able to survive until now.
"Eh? That's not right. It's different from the holy brick in the records."
Xiao Chen and the others had just entered the city when they met a demonic god formed from the essence of a goat. He had a goat's head and a human's body. He was holding a piece of rotten meat and hawking it for sale. Everyone couldn't help but think of that saying: Hanging a goat's head to sell dog meat.
The old Taoist regained his calm and unperturbed appearance.
"Little friend, you still don't believe me? Let me show you the last two moves."
"How do you prove it?"
"Later on, my ancestor kept the brick and spent every day researching it. He kept it as a family heirloom …"
"You're willing to take the beating, but who told you to trust him?"
"Know the heaven and earth, calculate the past and present, eternally hidden secrets, shocking news, sell it for a price …"
"See, this isn't the holy brick that Luo is looking for …"
Xiao Chen squatted on the ground and stared at him. "Then let me ask you, do you know where the Little Stone Emperor's tomb is?"
Although his words were very crude and made others look down on him, he had asked a crucial question. This was something that the others also wanted to confirm.
"It's over, I know how the Little Stone Emperor fell. Someone completely smashed his head, he died of stupidity!"
"Later on, my ancestor, the Little Stone Emperor, fell mysteriously, and that holy brick disappeared along with him."
He had already grasped the mystical technique of the six Heavenly Steles. As for the seventh Heavenly Stele, although he hadn't obtained it completely, he had a rough understanding of it. However, the divine imprint that the old Taoist displayed was definitely not within this scope.
"You're asking for a beating, right?"
"Whatever you want to know, I'll sell it to you."
The old Taoist calmed down and regained his sage-like appearance.
"There's no need to look at me like that. If you don't believe me, you can ask the others in Coldmoon City. Everyone knows that I'm from the bloodline of the Little Stone Emperor. However, to be honest, even though we're his descendants, we don't know the true location of the tomb."
"A phoenix egg, a real phoenix egg. It was stolen from the sun and the planet Venus by a hair's breadth of survival. It can hatch into a powerful divine phoenix and requires three complete Demonic God Battle Techniques in exchange."
"You old swindler, you're swindling us again …"
"Your words are very unpleasant to hear, but that's indeed the case."
"This information is extremely valuable. I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it."
"Are you here to sell information, or are you here to investigate our origins?"
There were very few humans in the ancient city. After all, this was a region ruled by the Demonic Race, so the ones who appeared the most were naturally Demonic Gods. As for the humanoid creatures, they weren't necessarily humans either. It was extremely likely that they were transformed from a powerful non-human race.
"Kill the wolf, open its mouth."
King Yanluo asked. He wasn't taking it seriously; he was just asking casually.
"That's right. I say, brother, why don't you sell me 80 kilograms? Tonight, I'm going to use a black wok to cook black dog meat …"
"Could it be that the holy brick really was buried in the tomb of my ancestor, the Little Stone Emperor …?"
The old Taoist was very gloomy. He didn't know where to start. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he was saying that the grand Little Stone Emperor was just a commoner who had been beaten up by someone and smashed with a black brick. It was a far cry from his glorious image.
This legendary expert from the Archaic Era was a hero who ruled over the world. During his lifetime, he had countless glorious accomplishments. Many people were very interested in his tomb and wanted to find out just what kind of treasures he had left behind.
"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point and explain the cause and effect."
"Of course I know, because I have a great deal of karma with this brick."
Xiao Chen stopped in his tracks and asked, "Do you know its origin?"
"It's no problem to take a look."
"What are you talking about?"
"Who told you to eat black dog meat? Go to hell …"
"What happened after that?"
The old Taoist was calm and indifferent. He had an aloof appearance, but when he looked at Xiao Chen, he was startled and said, "You have a brick in your sleeve …"
"Brat, you want to buy black dog meat?"
Kill the Wolf looked as if he was asking for a beating.
"Immortal Meat, Immortal Meat …"
"This old Taoist is definitely not lying. What I said is all true."
There was a banner erected at the side of the road. There were four big words written in bold calligraphy on it — Calculate the World's People and Events. An old Taoist was sitting cross-legged below the banner. He looked like an immortal with a hint of otherworldly charm. There were many cultivators surrounding him.
This was Stone Crow's reminder to Xiao Chen. The Immemorial Calamity was very vengeful. After knowing that Lu Zhan had designs on him, he was destined to fight to the death.
At this point, Xiao Chen completely believed that this old Taoist's ancestor had definitely come into contact with the Heavenly Tablet Mysterious Technique!
The goat spirit was furious and said, "Have you heard of this thing called the taisui fungus? This is the real ten-thousand-year-old taisui fungus. Just smelling it will increase one's lifespan by ten years. Just eating it will increase one's lifespan by a thousand years. At the same time, one's cultivation will also improve. "
"I say, Brother Goat, you are too unscrupulous. Your dog meat is about to stink, and you still have the cheek to sell it here?"
The group of people arrived at the restaurant. It was completely carved out of amethyst and divine jade. Its whole body was flickering with purple light and dense spiritual energy. Only the Great Desolate Heavenly Realm could have such a style.
"Wuliang, that ancestor, I have sinned. This poor Taoist forgot himself …"
"I think you are a swindling swindler …"
"The ten-thousand-year-old chalcedony is cheap. You only need a stalk of Nether Flame Divine Bamboo to exchange for it."
"Don't worry, I'm not using it to slap you."
"What's the point of saying so much? Even if the Holy Brick is in our hands, it doesn't belong to your clan anymore …"
Killing Vanquisher Wolf, who was wiping his saliva as he spoke, turned his head around. When he saw a black dog head on top of a human body, he was immediately dumbfounded. Following that, his vision blurred. That was because a huge fist had landed on his eye socket, turning it black on the spot.
"A branch of the Divine Tree of Life. It is filled with powerful vitality. If it is inserted into the soil, it will transform into a new Divine Tree of Life. Such a divine item requires a dragon pearl to exchange for."
Xiao Chen controlled the Heavenly Tablet and it really appeared in his hand like a brick.
"When did I say that I know the location of the tomb? I only said that I know the relevant information. For example, I know who discovered the tomb …"
Another two huge fists landed ruthlessly on Killing Vanquisher Wolf's black eye socket.
"Stop, don't brag about his glorious achievements. We have already heard about it a hundred times.
Killing Vanquisher Wolf rubbed his swollen eyes as he walked over.
Killing Vanquisher Wolf agreed first. Tenax glared at him, but Xiao Chen did not stop him. Although this old daoist had reached the Ancestor God realm, there was nothing to fear.
"The fruit of the Divine Orchid is a nine thousand years old top-grade sacred fruit. Those who are interested can use the Golden Spirit Flower to exchange for it."
"What do you need to exchange for this information?"
"Because it is a piece of Holy Brick passed down in my family."
Xiao Chen drank a cup of wine brewed from the Vermillion Fruit and said, "How absurd."
However, Xiao Chen was startled. He had to find the Stone Emperor's tomb no matter what. If the ninth Heavenly Tablet was there, it would be incomparably significant!
Within this several million miles radius of the demon race's territory, there were only seven or eight ancient cities. They were specially used by cultivators to exchange for spirit treasures and sacred medicines.
"Brat, do what you need to do. However, don't make a move on that Ninth Celestial Layer ancestor god. We will be of great use to him at that time."
"Little friend, take care. Don't hesitate to ask. No matter how great the price is, I want to exchange for this stone brick."
As they walked forward, Xiao Chen and the others suddenly heard this kind of voice. This was different from the cultivators exchanging for natural treasures. This was information that someone was making a move.
"Don't tell me it's useless. I don't care if he's a Taisui or a eunuch. There's no need. Big Brother has already become immortal. The Fire Essence Fruit is supposed to increase cultivation, but in the end, it turned me into a human-shaped torch. I say, Brother, let's be serious. Do you have authentic dog meat? It would be best if it was the real meat of a black dog that turned into a spirit.
I'm almost drooling … "Frost Moon City was very lively. It made Xiao Chen and the others feel like they had entered a human market. These cultivators were all hawking their wares, attracting the attention of others in exchange for what they needed.
"Damn it, are you kidding me? Just because I want to buy black dog meat, I get beaten up. Is there still any justice in this world …"
Being looked down upon like this, Killing Vanquishing Wolf felt indignant. He said, "Who are you trying to fool? Look at how rotten it is. Seriously speaking, do you sell dog meat here?"
Killing Vanquishing Wolf looked askance at him. It had to be known that many major powers in the outside world were trying to find out the whereabouts of the Little Stone Emperor's mausoleum. This fellow actually dared to say such things. Was he not afraid of others finding trouble with him?
Unexpectedly, the calm and elegant old Daoist suddenly cursed. It seemed like he had endured Killing Vanquishing Wolf for a long time. He said, "F * ck you!"
This was a huge blow to him. It had to be known that ordinary people could not cultivate the Heavenly Monument Secret Technique. That Little Stone Emperor was really an extraordinary person.
"You can't speak irresponsibly. As long as you can pay the price, I can naturally provide you with the relevant information.
Xiao Chen asked.
The old Daoist picked up a piece of thousand-year-old Taisui Meat with his chopsticks. It was the kind of rotten meat that Killing Vanquishing Wolf had encountered earlier. However, it was far from the ten-thousand-year-old Immortal Meat. It looked like rotten meat, but at this moment, it was giving off a sweet fragrance. The old Daoist swallowed the Taisui Meat and continued, "In the past, a brick fell from the sky and knocked my ancestor unconscious."
Everyone was speechless. This old Daoist really had the potential to cheat.
"I don't know. You were trying to fool us just now."
The old Daoist spoke from behind.
The old Daoist sucked in a breath of cold air and asked in surprise, "Who are you guys?"
"To tell you the truth, I am the descendant of the Little Stone Emperor. This brick has great karma with me and our clan."
Xiao Chen was startled. He had never seen this kind of divine seal before, but he felt it was very familiar. This … seemed to really belong to the Heavenly Monument Secret Technique!
Killing Vanquishing Wolf stopped him and said, "You mean, a brick fell from the sky and knocked down the Little Stone Emperor, almost killing him and making him fall limp on the ground?"
The two old antiques chattered and studied for a long time. They were pondering which kind of formation to use to wear down Lu Zhan. As for this kind of sinister formation, they had a few choices.
"I don't think there is anything on you that is worth it."
The Lunhui King was very dissatisfied.
The two living fossils looked at each other. The light in their eyes was surprisingly the same. They both wanted to kill Lu Zhan!
Cold Moon City was shaped like a crescent moon. It was completely different from those square ancient cities in the mortal world. Its layout was peculiar, and it didn't have any city walls. That was because it was equivalent to an empty shell for practitioners.
The old Daoist seemed very serious.
Just at this moment, Killing Vanquishing Wolf's collar was grabbed from behind.
The Lunhui King stared at him intently.
Xiao Chen said like this. He was about to leave with the others, but just at this time, the old Daoist suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Give me that brick, I can exchange for the information you want to know …"
Tenax stared at him fixedly.
"You are the descendant of the Little Stone Emperor?"
The old Daoist didn't get angry. He still seemed very calm.
Xiao Chen's heart tightened. Could it be that this old Daoist had seen through the Heavenly Monument?
The old Daoist revealed a surprised expression. He looked at the ancient patterns on the Heavenly Monument in doubt.
The old man agreed wholeheartedly. Even if he believed in the power of the evil formation, he had no choice but to take precautions. If by any chance Lu Zhan rushed out, the consequences would be disastrous. Everyone would die!
"What kind of information are you selling?"
"What kind of karma do you have with it?"
Xiao Chen really wanted to slap the brick on his face. This was too outrageous. The dignified Heavenly Monument was your brick? Who did you think you were?
After suffering a beating, Killing Vanquishing Wolf felt extremely wronged. However, it wasn't good for him to cause trouble here. That was because this was the rule. It was fine to cause trouble on a small scale, but if he dared to disturb the order here, he would be hunted down by everyone in the city.
Killing Vanquishing Wolf said in a very rude manner.
"F * ck, are you scolding me?"
"What happened after that? Do you know who smashed the black brick? "
"This old Daoist can see that this little friend is very talented, you are definitely not an ordinary person. I think you should have some harvest after obtaining the sacred brick."
Killing Vanquishing Wolf rubbed his pair of jet-black swollen goldfish eyes as he spat out endless anger.
The old Daoist was very calm. He didn't care about everyone's evaluation just now.
Xiao Chen, Tenax, and Killing Vanquishing Wolf arrived at an ancient city called Cold Moon. They chased after the clues left behind by Keke.
The old Daoist said very seriously.
"Then tell me, what kind of karma does this brick have with your family?"
"… …"
Xiao Chen and the others ignored him and continued to walk forward.
