People are in Xianwu, there are small games

Chapter 331 Raven
Black Star is arid and barren, with no rain all year round.

Walking on the dry land, Lu Ming stopped after a while.

Look up into the distance.

Then I saw in the distance, a city made of steel and concrete, with tall buildings rising into the clouds.

There are flying boats flying in the sky above the city, and the neon lights in the city are colorful.

A large number of light and shadow technologies, whether magical or technological, are projected into advertising curtain walls, making the entire city wrapped in bright light and shadow, looking gorgeous but a little exaggerated and dazzling.

Suddenly, a roar sounded from above his head, causing Lu Ming to look up.

Then I saw a huge oval spaceship passing through the sky and landing in the direction of the city's airport.

The faint voice was heard by Lu Ming.

[This journey has arrived at the final stop ahead, Bota City. 】

Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, and the synthetic mechanical sound sounded again in his ears.

When Lu Ming's feet officially stepped into the boundary of this city, there was suddenly a synthesized mechanical sound in his ears.

But we can also see some unique customs and customs.

[The Great Immortal Palace of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss creates a dream journey tailor-made for you. 】

This place is called Bota City, one of the thirteen cities in Black Star.

[Not nine hundred and eighty, not ninety-eight, just ninety-eight yuan, take the Foundation Establishment Pill home...]

The perception was released as soon as it was released, because Lu Ming received a warning.

[Thank you all passengers for taking this flight...]

The city is divided into five major districts, which may not seem large, but the buildings in Porta City have extensively applied space Xumi technology, making the city's capacity much higher than it seems.

Humans, monsters, demons, and all kinds of random races that Lu Ming could not recognize were walking on the streets. Some were walking in a hurry, while others were leisurely and carefree.

I randomly found a roadside cafe, paid with spirit stones, and ordered some coffee and snacks.

This scene in this city reminded Lu Ming of the prosperous scene of past and modern times.

It wasn't until he finished reading all the information in his personal terminal that Lu Ming looked up, only to find that the round mechanical city guard had already walked away.

【Eat electronic elixir and enjoy cyber cultivation. 】

[Welcome to Bota City, the unknown strong man. 】

Holding the personal terminal, Lu Ming briefly operated it and found that it was very different from the smartphone in his previous life.

This made Lu Ming couldn't help but smile, feeling that there was indeed something here, but there was no need to commit crimes against the wind.

[Please receive your personal terminal. 】

The defense of this city is completely inconsistent with the appearance of an open city. The tightness of the defense is probably far beyond any ancient monk city I have ever seen.

At this moment, Lu Ming was walking on the street, admiring the scenery. From time to time, the sound of advertisements came from everywhere and fell into his ears.

[Three warnings constitute a crime. 】

An electronic map is attached to the personal terminal, and free networking capabilities are provided.

[The first warning is completed. 】

[Are you still worried about not having a panacea? Are you still regretting that you don’t have any skills? Join Qingfeng Security Company and realize your dream of becoming a strong person. 】

There are indeed a lot of rules, but overall they are relatively loose.

As Lu Ming walked toward the city, the surrounding buildings became taller.

Of course, there are also taboos in the city - for example, you are not allowed to fight in the city, you are not allowed to use forbidden magic or martial arts (such as searching for souls, and forced control that violates humanitarianism), you are strictly prohibited from attacking the mechanical city guards, and you are not allowed to racially discriminate. Mortals, wait, wait...

[To protect the personal privacy of residents in this city, Bota City prohibits external sensing. Please pay attention to your behavior. 】

Looking around again, since this place is a suburb, there are not many pedestrians around, and the buildings are generally low.

Lu Ming smiled brightly.

……

Everyone has different levels of cultivation. Some are pure mortals, but there are also those who form the core of Yuanying. Even with the spread of Lu Ming's perception, he can sense the aura of a true fairyland in a nearby building.

Lu Ming stopped in place according to the mechanical sound, but felt a shiver in his heart.

Lu Ming reached out and took the so-called personal terminal. With a flash of spiritual energy in the terminal, a large amount of information was automatically imported into Lu Ming's mind.

There were more and more speeding pedestrians, and the noise became more and more harsh, forcing Lu Ming to close his hearing and part of his vision before he felt much better.

[Please wait where you are, the Mechanical City Guards will send you a personal terminal. 】

Just a few minutes later, a round metal lump slid from the street and stopped in front of Lu Ming.

Lifting his legs, he walked towards the city.

Just like a student surfing the Internet, Lu Ming wandered in the ocean of the Internet to absorb the information he needed. After about a few hours, Lu Ming put away his personal terminal and sighed.

The metal knot opened its mouth automatically, and a mobile phone-like device flew out from it and landed in front of Lu Ming.

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, the synthesized mechanical sound sounded again.

"Essentially, he is nothing more than a black market star, and he is quite scary and mischievous..."

……

That's right, the essence of Bota City and even Black Star is actually a huge black market.

Even the lightless star field where it is located is the largest black market trading star field under the rule of Qingluan Immortal World!

The Aluminum Star Territory is nominally under the rule of the Qingluan Immortal Realm, but its location is adjacent to the Bahuang Realm.

It is located on the border between the two, which makes it difficult to supervise and facilitate the circulation of illegal goods. Thousands of years ago, the Aluminum Star Territory was a famous no-care zone, and those who came and went were all lawless people from the Qingluan Immortal Realm and the Bahuang Realm.

But thousands of years ago, the Aphotic Star Realm was integrated.

The person who integrated the lightless star field was nicknamed the Gardener.

The name may seem ordinary, but it is actually powerful and mysterious.

No one knows whether this person is an immortal or a warrior, but they all know that the gardener's strength is at least at the level of the Immortal King and the Dharmakaya, otherwise it would be impossible to subdue these lawless thorns in the Lightless Star Territory.

After the Gardener integrated the Aluminum Star Territory, the essence of the black market in this Star Territory remained unchanged, but its foreign policy changed - becoming more "civilized", with more rules and order.

Civilization, rules, and order are necessary conditions for doing big business. Therefore, over the past few thousand years, the black market business in the Aluminum Star Territory has become bigger and bigger, and its reputation has spread widely, even opening up the Qingluan Immortal Realm and the Bahuang Realm. The official relationship has become an open black market star field that is semi-recognized by the government.

The Gemini Galaxy is a star system under the Aluminum Star Field, mainly composed of two living planets: Black Flare Star and Shirakawa Star.

The managers of the two stars are two of the eighteen flower gods under the Gardener's Seat, the Black and White Twins.

According to what is said on the Internet, both the black and white twins have reached the perfect state of the Immortal King, but together they can barely escape with their lives in the hands of the weakest Immortal King, which shows how powerful the two are.

"But it doesn't matter how strong you are."

Lu Ming muttered like this.

When he came this time, he did not regard Devouring World as his primary goal.

In other words, they will not regard black stars or even twin galaxies as their primary targets.

Putting away his personal terminal, Lu Ming folded his hands and thought quietly.

What he was thinking about was his own application of the virtual world.

"I had some problems with the idea of ​​using the virtual world before. Or should I call it, imperfect."

"I shouldn't use the virtual world as a backup inner world, but should use the virtual world as the teleportation coordinates!"

Yes, after what happened in the Demon Court Realm, Lu Ming reflected and concluded that it would be a bit petty to regard the virtual world as the inner world.

The real use of the virtual world should be as a coordinate for Lu Ming to explore the universe - after all, the universe is so big and there are inexhaustible living planets. It is more than enough to satisfy the seventy-two orifices of a warrior. There is no need to follow each virtual world one by one. Acupoint practices take action.

"But with Black Star's technical level now, it can meet my needs."

Lu Ming is currently fully capable of exploring the universe physically.

It's just that in the vast universe, there are always a few living planets. It is not easy to physically explore the location of living planets, and the time it takes is even more exaggerated.

The Black Star already has cosmic routes to alien planets. Through the super teleportation array created by Qingluan Immortal Realm, it can easily reach other living planets in a short time.

However, there are still some details that require further exploration by Lu Ming.

For example, if you return to the main world from an alien planet and activate the virtual world again, the place where you appear is the place where you returned, or the Black Star under your feet...

Another example is the issue of time flow rate.

"But let's leave these things to think about later, right now..."

With such muttering, Lu Ming stood up and left the cafe. He rummaged through his storage bag in a deserted place on the street and took out the token engraved with the word "Raven".

Blood energy was poured into it, and the token glowed slightly.

An address automatically emerged from the token and landed in Lu Ming's mind.

……

Bota City, central area, Gaoxing Technology Building.

The entire building is one thousand meters high, with a total of 133 floors. Xumi Cave Technology is used extensively, making each floor of the building a miniature cave, enough to accommodate an entire Mahayana sect.

However, public facilities still retain a sense of technology.

Lu Ming arrived here and took the elevator straight to the 52nd floor. As the slight tremor subsided, the elevator arrived and the elevator door opened. A beautiful-looking woman wearing a skirt and black stockings had been waiting for a long time.

"Welcome, Mr. Liehu."

Among the Ravens, Liehu's code name is Liehu, which is a bit like changing his name but not his surname.

Lu Ming used Liehu's identity token, and naturally what he inherited was Liehu's name.

But this doesn't matter.

Raven doesn't care about the true identity of its ordinary members, and impersonation doesn't matter - the so-called ordinary members are actually not much different from customers.

Lu Ming nodded slightly, chatted for a few words, and was led deep into the place by the woman.

This is the Raven's office in Bota City. Although the Raven is a black organization and the entire organization is wanted by Qingluan Immortal Palace, the foundation of the Aluminum Star Territory itself is not clean, so as long as the Raven pays, it can An aboveboard existence in the city of Porta.

Step inside slowly.

The woman was in front and Lu Ming was behind. There were many lights along the way, and the space was abundant and spacious. Even though they were in a cave, there was still a natural-like curtain wall created by illusion outside the window.

The overall scene looked a bit like the headquarters building of a large group that Lu Ming had seen in his previous life.

People come and go in the building, and the staff do not hide their appearance, they all show their true colors.

Occasionally, if you encounter someone who is pretending like Lu Ming, they are undoubtedly guests.

Under the guidance of the woman, Lu Ming came to a room similar to a reception room. After serving hot tea and snacks, the woman turned and left. After waiting for about a stick of incense, a light screen suddenly unfolded in front of Lu Ming, and a stream of light appeared in front of him. A man wearing a crow mask and unable to tell the difference between male and female spoke from the screen. "Mr. Liehu, what do you need?"

The voices were equally gender-neutral and were undoubtedly disguised. Lu Ming didn't care about these little things and just expressed his needs.

"Boundary stones, sky-supporting trees, and brocade grass."

"It's best if it's already available. If not, I need clues about these three things."

The first two of the three objects are used to practice the Eight Desolate Realms, and the latter are used to practice the Three Phases of Heavenly Mind.

In fact, Lu Ming's need for the three items was not urgent. What he urgently needed was a large amount of immortal jade and world core... But Raven couldn't solve these two things, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

When Lu Ming finished speaking, the man in the crow mask simply lowered his head, as if searching for information, then raised his head and spoke for a moment.

"We don't have any in stock here, and we don't have any information about the Heaven-supporting Tree, but we do have clues about the Boundary Stone and the Golden Heaven Grass. Do you need it?"

Lu Ming nodded.

"A total of five thousand low-grade immortal jade."

Raven's services are expensive, but they are reliable enough.

Five thousand low-grade immortal jade was just drizzle to Lu Ming.

After spending money on Demon Court's immortal jade reserves, Lu Ming became rich. The reason he needed the immortal jade was because the escape method consumed too much, but it didn't mean that Lu Ming was really a poor man...

After taking out fifty pieces of middle-grade fairy jade and placing them on the table, the man in the crow mask immediately spoke.

"There are currently three boundary stones in the Aluminum Star Field."

"One is in the hand of the Eighteen Flower God General, Mugunghua."

"The remaining two will appear in the Aluminum Star auction a year later."

Lu Ming frowned.

Althea is the eighteen-flower god general under the gardener. His strength is slightly inferior to the black and white twins, but he is also a perfect fairy.

It was not feasible to snatch the boundary stone from his hand, not because he was afraid of the hibiscus flower, but because he was afraid of the gardener behind him.

However, the Matte Star Auction is indeed worth a visit - the Matte Star is the main star of the Matte Star Territory and the absolute core of this black market star territory. The gardener is stationed at the Matte Star all year round.

To put it bluntly, as long as you have money, boundary stones are not hard to come by.

But Lu Ming is short of money now...

The man in the crow mask didn't care about Lu Ming's financial situation, and just continued: "As far as we know, there is only one Golden Sky Grass in the Aluminum Star Territory."

"Located in the treasure house of the Li family of Tiannan Star, it is a heirloom passed down by the Li family for many generations."

"The Li family of Tiannan Star?" Lu Ming asked like this, and he wisely took out ten more middle-grade immortal jades, and then heard the crow masked man continue: "The Li family of Tiannan Star is the Immortal Lord Family, one of the three major families of Tiannan Star. This The Jin Tiancao was prepared by the Li family for their ancestors to survive the Immortal King Tribulation. No matter what the cost, they would never give it away. "

Lu Ming nodded understandingly.

As the saying goes, when a person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven.

Once the ancestor of the Li family can truly become the Immortal King, the influence of the Li family in Tiannan Star will inevitably grow explosively - you must know that in the entire Aluminum Star Territory, there is only the Gardener, the Immortal King.

Due to emotions and reasons, the Li family must hold on to this Jin Tiancao to death.

Lu Ming fell into a long thought, and then asked again after a long time: "Is there any mission related to the Li family of Tiannan Star?"

The crow masked man nodded: "Yes, and a lot."

After speaking, the screen in front of Lu Ming flashed, and a large number of tasks appeared in front of Lu Ming.

These are all tasks that Raven has at hand related to the Li family of Arisaema.

Some of the tasks cannot be accessed at the level of the Fierce Tiger Token, some require a deposit, but some require nothing.

After a long time, Lu Ming clicked on one of them and looked at it carefully.

Posted by: Li Minqian, the third daughter in the fifth room of the Li family.

Mission requirements: Protect Li Minqian’s safe return to the Li clan land of Tiannan Star.

Completion reward: Depends on the strength of the participant and the dangers encountered along the way.

Requirements and deposit: None.

Raven's note: This matter may involve internal strife within the Li family, and the mission risks are uncontrollable. Please accept it with caution.

Looking at the last line of remarks, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile.

But he accepted the task without saying a word.

He needs a channel to contact the Li family of Tiannanxing.

As for contacting the Li family through a mission, it may not be the best choice, but it's not bad either.

"No matter how bad the situation is, you can still get a free ferry ticket, right?"

……

That night.

Corner bar.

All races gathered together, twisting their bodies crazily under the light of wine and lights, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

In stark contrast to the noisy first floor, is the second floor of the corner bar.

In the largest box on the second floor, six people were seated, with clear priorities and silence.

The people in charge are one man and two women, both of the human race.

The man is handsome and young, wearing a set of loose casual clothes, and has a rather proud and condescending look on his face.

And its strength also matches this pride - in the early stage of the True Immortal Realm, the proper Immortal status.

Although he was only a casual cultivator, the words "True Immortal Realm" were enough for this person to receive the courtesy he deserved on most occasions.

Beside him, two women were beautiful.

One person has an oval face, long straight hair, and big, sparkling eyes that are endearing. His whole body exudes a delicate temperament, which can arouse the desire of others to protect him.

This person is the person who issued this mission, the third daughter of the fifth room in the Li family, Li Minqian.

The strength is not strong, only about the early stage of integration.

The other woman has more charming facial features and an even better figure. She has wavy curly hair and wears a secretary's outfit, revealing two straight long black legs.

This person is Li Minqian's best friend and secretary, Jiang You, whose strength is also at the early stage of integration.

At this moment, Jiang You was chatting with the real immortal named Situ Rengang. The two were talking and laughing in an ambiguous atmosphere. However, Situ Rengang's eyes drifted towards Li Minqian from time to time, as if Li Minqian's appearance and temperament were more beautiful. It suits Situ Rengang's taste.

Looking down, he saw that the other three people were either monsters or demons.

The human race is a monk, with a slovenly appearance and the smell of alcohol on his body.

The demon is a snake demon who transformed into a woman. She has a good appearance, a feminine temperament, and a pair of vertical pupils that shine with cold light.

The demon is a fire demon. He is three meters tall in a suit. His exposed skin is dark red and exudes the smell of sulfur.

All three are conscripted protectors, and their strength is at the level of the Mahayana stage.

The hands of the clock on the side moved slowly, and it soon reached nine o'clock in the evening.

When the bell rang, Li Minqian sighed softly and said softly: "The time is up, it's probably these people."

Of the four candidates, one is a true immortal and the third is a Mahayana.

This power may be strong or weak, but when time is limited, it is not easy to attract these people.

Just when Li Minqian wanted to say something more, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang You stood up and opened the door, and a person came into view.

He is young, has good facial features, a smile on his face, and is dressed in sportswear, as if he is a student still in college. He is carrying a large bucket of milk tea in his left hand and a McKinsey Big Mac burger in his right hand.

Seeing Jiang You, Lu Ming smiled brightly and brightly.

"Are you still short of people here?"

Jiang You looked Lu Ming up and down, but still couldn't tell Lu Ming's level of strength. He changed his mind and gave Lu Ming a seductive smile.

"Of course there is a shortage of people, this..."

"Lu Ming, just call me Lu Ming."

"Well, Mr. Lu Ming, please come in."

Lu Ming sipped milk tea and ate a hamburger while sitting next to the snake demon girl. He noticed everyone's eyes glancing at her. Lu Ming finished the food with a big mouthful and smiled at everyone present.

"Lu Ming, a first-grade warrior."

Then everyone withdrew their eyes and focused on Li Minqian again.

Listen to Li Minqian speak softly.

"Everyone should be aware of this mission."

Everyone nodded.

Jiang You took over the conversation and added: "The goal is simple. Send my lady back to the land of the Li family in Tiannan Star. The task will be completed after arriving. I guarantee on behalf of the Li family that the reward will satisfy everyone."

"What about the risks?"

Yan Mo asked in a deep and deep voice, and heard Jiang You give a quick answer: "The risk is unknown. We don't know what we will encounter, or there may be no danger at all... But the only thing we can be sure of is Yes, there must be someone in the clan who doesn’t want to see my young lady return to the Li clan, so we have this mission.”

Everyone nodded in unison. This situation was clearly written in the mission instructions. The Balrog just wanted to see if there could be any unexpected gains.

Suddenly two voices sounded at the same time.

"This mission is not difficult. Don't worry, Miss Li. Situ Rengang will definitely keep you safe."

"When it comes to the internal fighting in the Li family, are we really enough?"

The voices came from Situ Rengang and Lu Ming respectively.

But everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Ming instead.

Li Minqian smiled awkwardly, and Jiang You also smiled dryly and spoke.

"Mr. Lu Ming, you may have misunderstood. It is an exaggeration to say that the internal strife in the Li family is just a conflict between the younger generations, so the danger is actually not great."

After speaking, he looked at Situ Rengang and said sweetly: "And since Mr. Situ is here, our trip is probably just a formality."

Everyone else nodded in unison, especially Situ Rengang, who looked even more proud.

Instead, Lu Ming glanced at Li Minqian, then at Jiang You, his eyes flashed and he smiled.

"If you say that, I'll feel relieved."
