As soon as Qu Wuming entered the store, he didn't need to say anything to the waiter who came to greet him. He waved a metal sign in his hand in front of the waiter, and the waiter respectfully let Qu Wuming to Tianyue Tower.
In the backyard, he said "please help yourself" and turned to leave.
Qu Wuming seemed to be very familiar with this place and walked straight to another small building in the backyard.
"Hey, isn't this Senior Qu? Please come in quickly!" At the door of the small building, a waiter with a cultivation level of about the early stage of foundation building came out from a distance.
"Miao Dong, it has only been a few days, and your cultivation level has actually increased by one level? Not bad!" Qu Wuming glanced at the waiter and said with a smile.
"This is really thanks to you. If it weren't for the Foundation Building Pill you rewarded me last time, I would still be stuck at the peak of the Qi Refining Stage, unable to make any progress." Miao Dong, the second waiter, replied respectfully.
"That's because your qualifications are acceptable, you just need that one last step." Qu Wuming said nonchalantly, "Has anything big happened in the snowy city these days? When I came here, I noticed that there seemed to be a lot of cultivators in the city.
A lot."
"You are right." Xiaoer Miaodong let Qu Wuming into a private room on the second floor, and while making tea for Qu Wuming, he said, "Didn't you go to the north last time?
?I also found that the monsters over there are moving again. Recently, Snowy City has sent out a lot of spies, and they have discovered that the monsters in the north are showing signs of growing in size. I am afraid that they will rush over soon. So in the next few days,
The city has recently sent troops over, this is one of them. In addition, I heard that the underworld is about to appear again. During this time, many seniors in the Void Refining Stage and the God Transformation Stage have come to the city. Many of them are going to
We are rushing to the far north. However, because of the beast tide, we don’t dare to go there for the time being. We will only wait for the beast tide to pass before setting off.”
"Have you ever heard of anyone who is in the Void Refining Stage?" Qu Wuming asked.
"I don't know exactly how many people there are, but those who have come to our Tianyue Building for dinner include people from the Qiankun Sect, the Alchemy Sect, the Tiandao Sect, and the Blood Evil Sect." Miao Dong, the second-in-command, recalled for a while and said, "
The rest is unclear. After all, many sects have their own properties in Snowy City, especially those seniors in the Void Refining Stage. Even if they come, they may not come out to hang out."
"That's true. If such a big thing hadn't been started in the Underworld, those people wouldn't have come out so easily." Qu Wuming nodded and said, "It's still the same as before, braised Snowy Beef Bones, Braised Ice Bear Palms, Red Chains
Demon snake soup, red flower snow lotus cake, and a jar of Xuanyu ice wine."
"Okay, wait a minute!" Xiao Er Miao Dong wrote down the dishes Qu Wuming ordered, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qu Wuming again.
"By the way, give me a copy of the recent auction arrangements of the major auction houses in the city and the latest news from the market." As he said that, Qu Wuming threw a high-level spiritual stone to the waiter Miao Dong.
"Okay, I'll bring it to you in a moment." Xiaoer Miaodong took the spirit stone, turned and left happily.
Not long after, the waiter Miao Dong pushed in the door again. First, he placed a jar of fairy wine exuding a faint spiritual power and a cold aroma on the table, as well as the side dishes given by the store to go with the wine.
He took out seven or eight booklets and a piece of paper filled with text from the material ring and placed them in front of Qu Wuming, and said: "Senior Qu, these are all the booklets that have been auctioned in the past ten days, and there are two companies among them.
After setting an approximate auction date, if you have something you want to sell, you can ask them to put it up for auction within five days. This list is the location and time schedule of the recent markets that I copied. If you are interested, you can go
Go shopping! Because there are more people coming from outside recently, a lot of good things have come to the market. Especially the ghost market in the big willow tree the night after tomorrow is the most worth visiting. As for why, you know why, hehe."
"Well, that's natural," Qu Wuming nodded and said, "I do have a bunch of things on hand that I want to sell, and I will go shopping the night after tomorrow."
"Then you have to go there earlier, at least half a day in advance. Things are different now than in the past. If you go late, you may not even be able to occupy the stall." Miao Dong, the waiter, reminded hurriedly.
"Is it so popular?" Qu Wuming asked a little surprised, "In the past, I could always squeeze in a place to come out."
"Hey, you don't know something about this." Xiaoer Miaodong said with a smile, "Nowadays, the number of people going to the Da Liushu Ghost Market has at least doubled compared to before, but the place where stalls are set up is still so big, even if there are
The city guards maintain order, and every time before the market opens, there are fights over territory."
"This is quite new. I'll go get a place earlier then. Thanks for reminding me!"
"Senior Qu, why are you being polite to me? I'm going to prepare the dishes for you. You drink first, haha." Waiter Miao Dong respectfully poured a glass of wine for Qu Wuming, then turned and left.
Qu Wuming was pouring himself some food and drinking when the door suddenly opened with a creak and a figure flashed in.
"Brother Qu!"
"Here you come? Sit down, sit down!" Qu Wuming did not get up, but directly took an empty wine cup and filled one for the visitor.
"I didn't expect Brother Qu to return to Xueyu City so soon. I thought Brother Qu would have to come back in a few years." The visitor was not polite, picked up the wine cup and touched Qu Wuming's head, and raised his head.
Drink it all in one gulp.
"Originally, I planned to come back for a visit in a few years, but if I don't plan to keep up with the changes, do I plan to go to the Underworld?" Qu Wuming said with a slight smile.
"The Underworld Realm?" The visitor was obviously a little surprised, and his expression changed slightly. "Brother Qu, the Underworld Realm is full of dangers. I know that Brother Qu is an expert and brave man, but after all, Brother Qu is still in the stage of transforming into a god. What are these ten thousand things?"
one……"
"It doesn't matter, I had some adventures not long ago, and I'm already in the late stage of transformation. As long as I'm careful, I can still run away even if I encounter someone who is in the middle stage of Void Refining, but I can't beat him."
"This... how long have we been apart, Brother Qu has actually crossed two small realms in a row?!" The visitor obviously felt a little unbelievable, "No wonder I can't see Brother Qu's realm now."
"Haha, brother, isn't this what this technique is like? Sometimes you upgrade a few levels, and sometimes you don't necessarily get any further after a hundred or two hundred years." Qu Wuming said with a smile, "I heard that the beast tide is really coming soon? You guys?
How are you preparing? Is there anything you can help me with?"
"Brother Qu, there is no need to worry too much. Thanks to Brother Qu and others who went deep into the Far North to inquire about information, we have made full preparations in advance. Although this beast wave came a few years earlier than previously expected, but now
The nine cities in the rear have arranged large armies to support the three cities of Snow, Frost, and Winter. At the same time, they have strengthened the troops of the six cities in the middle. No matter how many monsters come, we will ensure that none of them can break out of the northern border! "Who is coming!
He said with full confidence, "What's more, because of the opening of the Underworld Realm, there are now thirty-two people in the Void Refining Stage gathered in the city, and at least sixty people in the God Transformation Stage, most of whom we also
We all said hello, and they agreed to help kill those high-level monsters when necessary."
"So, this beast wave may be the easiest to deal with in these years?" Qu Wuming laughed when he heard this.
"It's very possible." The person who came here also said with a smile on his face, "otherwise, how could I come to see Brother Qu as soon as I got the news? If it had been in the past, I would have been so busy right now."
"My dear brother, I have been in charge of the defense of the Snowy Great Wall for decades. I have a heavy responsibility and a lot of hard work. Come, let me toast you to my brother!" Qu Wuming suddenly raised his wine cup and said seriously.
"Thank you, Brother Qu!" The visitor also picked up a wine cup and bumped into Qu Wuming.
The person who came was none other than a deputy commander of the Snow Dragon Army, one of the three major defensive armies of Snowy City in the Northern Territory. His name was Geng Liqiu. Although he was only at the fourth level of the God Transformation stage, he had a lot of strength.
But it is not weaker than the ordinary peak of the god transformation stage. The two have known each other for decades, and the first time they met was during a beast wave in the snowy city in the northern border.
At that time, Qu Wuming was a mercenary member temporarily employed by the Snowy City defenders, while Geng Liqiu was just a partial general in the Snow Dragon Army, with only a hundred people under his command. During a counterattack against a monster, Geng Liqiu
Liqiu accidentally went too deep into the Northland, and unfortunately encountered a fourteenth-level monster - a powerful monster equivalent to a monk in the early stage of Void Refining.
Geng Liqiu fought with it, but soon found himself at a disadvantage. Just when the situation became precarious, Qu Wuming arrived in time and suppressed the monster with a sneak attack with a bronze tripod. Geng Liqiu not only saved the day from danger, but also succeeded
Kill it.
Since then, the two have often gone deep into the northern section of the Hengduan Mountains together, specializing in sneak attacks and hunting high-level monsters. In battle after battle, the two have forged a deep friendship and have become able to trust each other with their backs.
best friend.
At this moment, although the two met again not long ago, they still seemed to have endless things to say. Gradually, the topic turned to those outside the Void Refining Stage.
"Brother Qu, not long ago I heard people from Frost City and Winter City say that there are probably more than 20 foreign refining stages gathered in those two cities. If I guessed correctly, their target
It should also be the underworld."
After Qu Wuming let out a long sigh, he said in a deep voice: "Well, it seems that there will be about fifty or sixty people in the Void Refining Stage that we need to be wary of in the underworld in the future."
"It's not 'almost', it should be 'at least', right?" Geng Liqiu shook his head and said, "That's why I always wanted to persuade Brother Qu to give up this idea. The underworld is already full of dangers. After these dozens of Void Refining Periods, all
I don’t know how many will come back in the end. But Brother Qu, you said you have a reason to go, which really makes me a little worried! Brother Qu, why do you have to go? Is it also because of the Supreme Alchemist Order?"
"Brother, do you know how my brother suddenly broke through to the seventh level of the Divine Transformation Stage?" Qu Wuming did not answer directly, but suddenly asked with a mysterious smile.
"Oh? Is it possible that there is another story here? Is it related to Brother Qu's desire to obtain the Alchemy Master Order?" Geng Liqiu asked, turning his head.
"Brother Xian, you guessed it right." Qu Wuming nodded and said, "Even though I haven't been away for a long time, I have experienced a lot of things. Well...I said this to the little brother who became my new sworn brother.
