"Miss, are you alright?"
Not far from where Gu Zheng was, in another private room, a strong man and a small old man were inside. There were also some dishes on the table. Although they were not as luxurious as Gu Zheng's, they were still expensive.
Moreover, if Gu Zheng were here, he would be able to tell at a glance that they were the two fellows who had been besieged when he was asking for directions. At this moment, the two of them were eating heartily and happily.
"What miss? Call me Lord San Shun now." The small old man frowned and reprimanded the man.
The man just chuckled. "Yes, miss. No, Lord San Shun."
When the other party raised his hand, he immediately changed his words. One had to know that it was still very painful when the other party hit him, especially now that his injuries were still faintly hurting.
"Hurry up, we've been here for a long time. When we get out of the city, we'll find a place to rest and heal our injuries. We'll continue on our way." San Shun instructed him.
After they used the things they left behind to escape, they quickly came to this city. It was not that she wanted to spend a lot of money to come here, but there were some things in this place that could speed up the recovery of injuries. It was safer, so she chose this place.
As for the cost, she still had some things on her that were enough to pay for this trip.
"If we knew there were so many good things over there, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state. Unfortunately, the situation has become like this. It's too late to inform Lord Jin." The man said with some regret.
"How many times have I said it? We don't have anything. It's so chaotic outside now. We have to pay more attention to our own safety. If we didn't have something to hide, we would have died long ago." San Shun gritted his teeth and glared again, his teeth itching with hatred.
This person who had always followed her, except for his loyalty, was not good at anything else. He was stupid, weak, and did not keep his mouth shut. He was simply useless. Now that the other party knew about the things in his hands, the danger he faced was infinitely magnified.
Although she complained in her heart, she also knew that loyalty was more important than anything else here, especially in this turbulent period.
The man listened to San Shun's complaints and kept nodding. At the same time, his mouth did not stop and he swallowed the rest of the food.
"Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat. Hungry ghost." San Shun looked at the other party and complained again. Seeing that the other party did not think much of it, he sighed in his heart. "We'll leave after eating."
In a private room not far from them.
At that moment, Gu Zheng was still trying to figure out what was going on with the Ji Qi. He kept grabbing from the air, but he only managed to grab a small amount each time. This thing was very hidden, and under normal circumstances, most people would not be able to find it.
After trying for a long time, Gu Zheng could not even condense it to the size of a grain of sand. Seeing that the other party had once again merged into his body, Gu Zheng temporarily gave up on continuing his research. He had a hunch in his heart that if he could solve the mystery of the disappearance of the Qi, he would be able to understand what had happened that day.
This Qi was very similar to the black Qi in the past.
Putting aside the matter at hand, Gu Zheng saw a wine pot made of black stone in front of him. He poured himself a cup, and the dark liquid gradually filled the cup. It looked different from ordinary wine, and a faint sound began to spread in the air. Just by smelling it, one would feel refreshed, as if they were surrounded by condensed wine.
"It is said that this is a hidden underground river here. After removing the impurities in it, some special methods were used to brew it. It is the specialty of this place. Other than here, there is no other place like this, and it is very expensive."
Before Gu Zheng drank it, Xiao Ye had already introduced it eagerly.
Putting down the wine pot, Gu Zheng raised his head and looked at the other party's detailed introduction. It was even more detailed than the dishes. He waited for the other party to finish before he spoke.
"Isn't the owner of this shop very powerful?"
"Yes." Xiao Ye nodded. She even subconsciously glanced around and lowered her voice. "I heard that the strongest person who opened this shop has a strength at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm. He also has extremely powerful subordinates under him. Ordinary people don't dare to offend him. I heard that even the residence has invited him."
"Therefore, many people here do not dare to act rashly. Some people used some reasons to make trouble, but they never saw him again."
"Yes."
Gu Zheng nodded noncommittally. He was full of interest in this cup of wine. Then, he raised the cup, took a sip, and closed his eyes.
Fragrant!
As soon as the wine entered his mouth, an explosive fragrance filled his mouth. He could even vaguely feel a hint of sweetness, which was just right to make the fragrance even sweeter. He didn't need to swallow it as the wine automatically slid down his throat. It was as clear as spring water, with a refreshing feeling, wantonly spread out in all directions from the inside.
It refreshed the heart!
He felt as if he was soaking in a warm hot spring, and the hot spring was full of sweet wine. Just this small cup gave him a feeling of intoxication.
He felt the wine continue to spread through his stomach. His entire body felt as if it had drunk that cup of wine.
"Good wine!"
After a long time, when the fragrance in his mouth faded a little, Gu Zheng opened his eyes and praised.
Something that could make him praise was definitely not ordinary. The taste left a lingering charm, and he continued to be immersed in the other party's artistic conception.
It also contained a special power. Originally, when Gu Zheng came here, he directly landed at a place that could be said to be at the edge. After traveling for five or six days, he really felt a little irritated in his heart. He also knew that, so he patiently allowed the other party to accompany him.
He did not expect that after drinking this cup of wine, the slight frustration in his heart would disappear. Even his mind became much sharper.
It was a pity that this wine was only effective for ghostly cultivators. If Gu Zheng drank it, it would only have an unparalleled taste and some effects that could cleanse his soul.
"Here, let me give you a cup."
Gu Zheng saw the envy in the other party's eyes. He directly picked up the wine pot and filled the other party's cup, not giving the other party a chance to speak.
"Thank you, sir! It's just that I can't drink it now. I need to find a quiet opportunity. Only then can I not waste it. " Xiaoye was very touched. He could see that the other party did not have any ulterior motives. After all, he was just a small character. Even if he died, he would not be worthy of this cup of wine. He did not even know his name. In the past, he had only vaguely mentioned it. It was enough that everyone knew. Otherwise, when he introduced himself, he would have said it directly.
Looking at the small cup of wine in front of him, and then quickly glancing at Gu Zheng, who was different from ordinary people. He even felt that he had suffered so much in the past, and that was why he had met this sir.
Although he did not know Gu Zheng's cultivation, he was definitely a big shot. He did not know that the other party had also fallen here. He felt that the other party had just arrived here, and there were many things that he did not know, or perhaps he knew very little.
As for the spatial treasure and those things on him, some powerful ghost cultivator probably wanted to take advantage of him not long after he came down. In the end, he did not manage to do so, and instead died at the hands of Gu Zheng. Naturally, the things on him became the other party's spoils of war.
With his experience, he naturally did not dare to imagine that the other party had come down from the outside world.
This was a place that the outside world avoided like the plague. How could someone take the initiative to come down here? Let alone him, no one would have thought of this.
Gu Zheng naturally did not know that the other party had thought so much in such a short time. However, when he thought of the other party's cultivation, he understood why the other party was not drinking now. He nodded in agreement.
Xiaoye carefully took out a wooden bottle from his bosom and poured the contents of the bottle to the side without any hesitation. He then rinsed it with clean water at the side. Only then did he focus on picking up the wine cup and pouring it into his own bottle.
Gu Zheng saw the other party's expression as if he had obtained a treasure and smiled. Then, he picked up the wine bottle and prepared to pour another cup. However, the entire wine bottle stood upright. Other than a few drops, no more wine was poured out. When he took a closer look, it was already empty.
"Sir Gu, I think it should be because this thing is precious. In addition, there are only the two of us, so they only gave us such a small portion. Of course, it could also be that it is best to drink one portion. Drinking more would not be beneficial." Xiaoye did not know either. After all, he had only heard of these things and had never seen them with his own eyes. Therefore, he could not be sure.
"Forget it. Go and help me see how much the other party has. If possible, buy all the wine in this shop. If there is still a good one, buy it. Don't be afraid that I don't have money." Gu Zheng was like a nouveau riche as he said to Xiaoye.
He had a lot of good things in his hands. No matter how expensive it was, he would be able to afford it.
"Alright." Xiaoye immediately stood up. Even though there were still more than half of the things on the table that had not been touched, when he walked to the door, he still reminded Fang Xingjian, "Sir, perhaps you can change into something similar."
Gu Zheng nodded slightly. When the other party went out, he had already changed into an exquisite black top. It was not as eye-catching as before. Although being eye-catching could bring more attention, it could also bring more trouble. Especially since there were too many changes here compared to the last time, there was a feeling that he could not understand. Somehow, he would not be as free as before.
Now, there were two things in his heart that he wanted to do.
First, he wanted to see if Yang Du was still here. Second, he wanted to find You Zhu and Sen Lu. As long as he could take one of them, Sen Yan would be able to speak. Only then would he be able to find the location of the Devil God. After killing the Devil God, he would be able to find out where Xiang Xiang had gone.
Of course, Gu Zheng felt that the latter was still very hopeful. After all, there was still a lot of time for the changes here. If it were to fully evolve, he was afraid that he would be powerless now.
Since he had nothing to do, Gu Zheng continued to study Ji Qi while waiting.
.....
After Xiaoye left the room, he walked downstairs. When he saw the woman who was resting, he immediately walked towards her. Before he could take two steps, the woman walked over quickly and smiled at Xiaoye.
"My friend, do you need anything else?"
As the person in charge here, the woman naturally had her own eyesight. Moreover, her cultivation base was extraordinary. She was at the Heavenly Immortal Stage. With one look, she could tell who was the master and who was the servant. She was already giving Gu Zheng face by addressing him as' Lord 'and' servant 'to him as' friend '.
Xiaoye naturally felt the same way. He also knew that if he did not rely on Gu Zheng, she would not even be qualified to come here, let alone be a friend. She would not even be able to smile at him now.
After thinking for a while, Xiaoye directly asked, "That wine just now?"
At this point, Xiaoye dragged out the last word of his sentence.
"It's the Fine Cloud Wine," the woman said very cooperatively.
"Yes, it's the Fine Cloud Wine. How much do you have here? Do you have any wine of the same grade?" Xiaoye did not mind that he had never heard of it. After lamenting about the good name in his heart, he quickly asked.
"What do you mean by 'friend'?" The woman raised her eyebrows when she heard Xiao Ye's words. She was a little surprised when she saw Xiao Ye's ordinary appearance.
"If you have any more, no matter how much you have, my Lord will take all the wine of the same grade." For once, Xiaoye said generously.
He felt that he should be especially handsome at this moment. Unfortunately, this was probably the only time this kind of thing would happen.
"My Lord is really generous. We do have quite a lot of wine in stock here. As a large batch was only shipped in a few years ago, I wonder if you can take all of it?" The woman's smile became even more charming as she smiled at Xiaoye.
Why hadn't she left yet? It was because of these headache-inducing drinks. There wasn't a lot of drinks left, and the rest were all high-end drinks. The low-end drinks had long been dealt with here. They had been rushing to pack them up a while ago, and they would leave in two days after they finished packing.
Who would have thought that a place that used to be incomparably prosperous would start to fall in such a short period of time?
Even so, the woman had a headache because it was not easy to transport these things. After leaving the designated storage environment, in her mind, at most half of them would be returned. As for the remaining half, the quality would be greatly reduced. They could only be sold as low-end wines. Perhaps, their fate in the future would also be to be digested internally.
In between, she had to spend a lot of effort to take care of them. However, even though she knew the outcome, she could not just throw them away casually. It had already become a sore point in her heart. She did not expect that before she left, such a big customer would come. How could she not be overjoyed?
However, she still calmed her mind. After all, these things were not cheap. She did not know if the other party could buy them all.
"Wait!" Xiao Ye also understood what the other party meant. She immediately turned her head and ran toward the private room.
The woman originally wanted to go with the other party, but the other party ran very quickly. She could not express her desire and forcibly stopped in place. She was already thinking about what price to offer. If it was too high and scared the other party away, or if it was too low, it would be a little disappointing.
However, if it was too low, she would not be able to explain it to her side. Just as she was thinking about it, Xiao Ye returned again.
"Take these as a deposit. Take me there." Xiao Ye directly threw a package over. At the same time, she waved her hand. A very ordinary-looking jade bracelet was inside. She spoke to the woman with slight shock.
The woman hurriedly received it and opened the simple package. 20 Resentment Cleansing Fruits were randomly piled up inside.
"No problem. Please follow me." The woman's eyes lit up. She handed the things in her hand to the subordinate next to her and invited Xiao Ye.
Just now, she was still thinking about how the other party was going to transport them. The other party took out a spatial equipment. She had been too busy and worried too much.
Since the other party was willing to spend so much money and buy all of them, the other party had naturally thought of how to transport them. In particular, the other party's bracelet looked like it had not been used for a long time. She was even more shocked. She also knew how to treat the other party.
The woman called a few people to follow her and took Xiao Ye to a distance. There was not much stock here. Most of them were still packed in the storage area in the distance.
After walking a few blocks, they soon arrived in front of an equally imposing house.
This house was a warehouse. There was nothing novel about it except for the big and rough house. When the guard saw the woman, he quickly opened the door and let them in.
"Our things are all here. It will take some time for us to pack them up. Why don't you wait for a while?" The woman said enthusiastically.
The other party bought all of these and helped her a lot. One had to know that these were originally going to be sold for decades. After all, few people were willing to drink them. Moreover, it was best to drink one cup a day.
This place was empty. Other than some messy junk, the things that were once here had been moved away. However, the wine was not seen. Xiao Ye also knew that such good things would not be left outside. Just as he was about to let the other party start moving, he suddenly thought of a problem.
"I still have something to do. You guys pack them up and leave them here. I'll be back soon."
The woman only pondered for a moment before agreeing. However, she still reminded him, "You can't stay for more than two hours. Otherwise, the quality of these wines will drop."
Xiao Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'll be back in at most five minutes."
"Just in time. Then I'll wait for you here."
Xiao Ye nodded and then strode out of the place.
"What are you waiting for? Quickly go down and move the things out. Be careful, be careful," the woman shouted at the others.
When they started to move in an orderly manner, Xiao Ye had already quietly rushed back to his house.
When he arrived, he realized that this place was only one street away from his house. It could be said that it was very close. Previously, when he was in a rush to leave this place, he forgot that he still had an important thing at home. He could take advantage of this opportunity to get it.
When he got close to his house, Xiao Ye was very alert and looked around for a while. When he found that there was nothing suspicious, he went to the back of his room and opened a secret door to enter.
His house was very simple. Like most people, it was a house that was neither big nor small. Inside, there were some stone furniture that he had polished himself. There was not even a bedding. It was like a coffin. Other than the door, there was not even a window. It was enough to have a place to shelter him from the wind and rain.
After entering, he quickly glanced around. Some details that he only knew about had not been changed. Obviously, those debt collectors had not come in yet. This made him heave a sigh of relief. He quickly went to the corner and opened a secret compartment. Inside, there was a simple box made of wood.
When he saw the box, a trace of nostalgia appeared on Xiao Ye's face. Then, he opened the box. An old silver necklace appeared in the box.
Xiao Ye put the necklace in his arms and then put the things back. He carefully put the place that he had touched back in place. Only then did he go out from the secret door. He quickly glanced around, then lowered his head and quickly walked towards the warehouse.
When his figure disappeared from the street, two people walked out from a shadowy corner.
"You go and inform the boss that Ye Tian's traces have been found. I'll go and follow him. We can't let him escape."
"Good. He owes us a lot of money and wants to leave safely like this. Wishful thinking."
The two people immediately separated. One of them quickly ran in the opposite direction of Ye Tian. The person who spoke first followed behind Ye Tian and began to track him.
