After staying in the forest near the ghost ruins for a month, Gu Chen seemed to be focused on practicing, but every night in the silence, he often felt inexplicable fear.
He was worried about whether his mother had left Tiannan City safely, and whether Elder Nangong was still alive.
This information can only be obtained in a crowded place, and in the jungle, there is no one to accompany you except the white ape.
The magical power has been mastered, and the spotlight of the search must have passed, so Gu Chen decided to leave.
After taking a quick bath in the mountain stream, Gu Chen took out a clean warrior uniform from the storage ring and put it on.
This suit of clothes was knitted by my mother herself. The materials are exquisite. It is very comfortable to wear and makes you look energetic.
Hanging the Hanxing Sword on his back, Gu Chen said goodbye to the cave where he stayed for a month, dressed in simple clothes, and set out on his way out.
The white ape is still by his side, and Gu Chen has become accustomed to its company.
This little guy was not tall, so before leaving, he packed up a bunch of forest-white crystal stones that he brought out from the ghost market and carried them on his shoulders, treating them like treasures.
Greedy and greedy, lawless, but extremely talented, this is Gu Chen's evaluation of Bai Yuan.
Over the past month, not only has he made progress, White Ape has been eating and playing all day long, but his strength has also improved.
It even watched him perform the five-finger fire-catching technique, and learned it within a few days.
Gu Chen was not surprised by this. The little guy's ability to learn and imitate was extremely powerful.
One person and one ape were walking in the forest, going straight in one direction.
Gu Chen has never left Fenglin Mansion before and knows very little about the outside world. At the moment, he can only find a place where there are people inhabited before deciding where to go.
Elder Nangong originally wanted to take Gu Chen to Nanling, but now that he is gone, Gu Chen must find a way out on his own.
…
"This is different from the original agreement. If you promised me, you should abide by the agreement!"
"Tsk, what a risk you have to take to go to a place like Guixu. The reward from your Huang family is far from enough."
"In that case, why didn't you refuse directly at the beginning? Why did you say such a thing when you were already here!"
Gu Chen was walking, his consciousness dispersed, and suddenly several conversations fell into his mind.
He raised his head in surprise and looked to the west. The source of the sound was two hundred meters away, separated by a dense jungle.
After staying in the forest for a month, this was the first time he heard human voices.
I never expected that someone would come so close to the ghost market.
He looked thoughtful, and felt that there seemed to be a lot of people there, and he didn't know what they were doing.
He eavesdropped curiously, and the use of his spiritual consciousness was really useful. He didn't need to see it with his own eyes, but the outlines of a group of people appeared in his mind.
Two hundred meters away, a group of people were gathering together.
A beautiful woman in her twenties, wearing red clothes and with an angry face, was arguing with a middle-aged Taoist priest.
There were about ten people on the Taoist side, and there were only two guards around the beauty. The two groups seemed to be having a fierce argument over whether to enter the ghost ruins.
The middle-aged Taoist priest with the highest cultivation level among the group of people had just stepped into the supernatural realm under the influence of Gu Chen's spiritual consciousness. As for the others, they were all in the physical realm.
Gu Chen found it a bit funny that such a group of warriors wanted to step into the ghost ruins, maybe they were going to die, right?
"Taoist Master Lin, what on earth do you need to do to make you willing to lead your men into the Ghost Ruins and help me find the Nine Yin Stone as originally promised?"
Seeing that the other party refused to change her mind after arguing for a long time, the beauty bit her lip and whispered.
"Well, Concubine Huang, how can I say that Pindao and the Huang Family Master know each other well? If I can help, can I not help? It's just that the risk of entering the ghost market is too great. Even if Pindao is willing, Pindao and the other brothers
Do you want to?"
Daochang Lin looked troubled.
"If you have any conditions, Taoist Master, just tell me!"
The beauty named Huang Fei showed a trace of disgust deep in her eyes. She knew that the other party was deliberately raising the price, but she had no choice but to do anything.
The Nine Yin Stone is extremely important to my grandfather and cannot be lost.
"This... you put it this way, there is indeed something you can do to help Pindao."
Taoist priest Lin touched his chin, his eyes lingering on Concubine Huang's sizable chest for a while.
Concubine Huang noticed his gaze and felt ashamed and angry, but she could not get angry. "What are you busy with? Master Taoist, please don't waste your time. When it gets dark, you won't be able to enter the ghost ruins."
Daochang Lin still looked embarrassed, but his subordinates picked up the topic.
"Miss Huang, my Taoist priest is embarrassed to say it, let me say it for him! It's like this, the Taoist priest was conspired by a villain some time ago and was poisoned by a strange poison. The miracle doctor of the Valley of Rejuvenation said that he needs to find someone whose Yuan Yin has not been broken.
Only a woman who practices dual cultivation can detoxify!"
"The Taoist Master has been kind to us. If you can help him with this, we will naturally have no hesitation. We will go to the Ghost Ruins and find the Nine Yin Stone for you no matter what!"
After the subordinate finished speaking, the other dozen companions nodded quickly, with excitement in their eyes.
Concubine Huang's face suddenly turned pale. How could she not understand the so-called dual cultivation?
"What nonsense are you talking about! What are you planning? Do you think we can't see it?"
"It's too much, taking advantage of others, despicable and shameless!"
Huang Fei's two guards became angry on the spot.
This Taoist Master Lin has always been famous for his lechery, and my young lady was forced to ask him for help. She didn't expect that he would go against the will and end up doing this.
What kind of bullshit guy who is under the influence of strange poisons can believe this, these people are clearly acting and planning something evil!
"Ahem, don't talk nonsense. Pindao has always been a gentleman and will not force others."
Daochang Lin looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
"As long as Huang Fei helps Pindao detoxify from this poison, the originally promised reward will be doubled, and Pindao promises to enter this ghost market and find the Nine Yin Stone for you even on the mountain of swords and under the sea of fire!"
Concubine Huang looked at his coquettish appearance and suddenly gave up and sneered.
"Taoist Lin, please stop pretending. After all this time, you actually don't dare to enter the Ghost Ruins!"
"I was really in a hurry and went to the doctor. I actually thought of asking you for help. That's all. Forget it!"
As she said this, she turned around and left with the two guards.
Daochang Lin didn't expect her to refuse so simply, and his face turned red and blue.
It was so hard to trick this enchanting woman into such a remote place. What a pity it would be if she were allowed to escape?
"Stop!"
His voice became colder, and with a glance, more than a dozen of his men surrounded Concubine Huang and her guards!
"Lin, are you trying to force yourself? Are you afraid that my grandpa will cause trouble for you?"
Huang Fei threatened angrily, her proud breasts rising and falling with anger.
"Hey, don't use your grandfather to oppress others. If I was still worried a few years ago, but now no one in Tanlang City knows that your grandfather is nearing his end of life. If you take action, you will lose half of his life."
