Mortal: Fight monsters and upgrade, I will enjoy immortality!

Chapter 397 Xiao Laoer
Four years later, the Jin Dynasty conquered the capital and the city of Xifang.

Ye Ming was in an ordinary densely built area. After turning left and right on familiar roads, he came to a private house.

On the door, "Duo, Duoduo..." three long and two short, and after a period of regular knocking, they waited quietly.

After a while, the door opened a crack, and a skinny old man stuck his head out and glanced outside.

After seeing Ye Ming, the old man hurriedly walked out with his whole body, stretched out his hand and said respectfully:
"Senior, welcome to my humble home, please, senior!"

After finishing speaking, the old man should move first and lead the way.

Ye Ming followed this person expressionlessly.

After passing through several long corridors and turning through several small doors, Ye Ming followed the old man into a somewhat dark hall.

The furnishings in the hall have remained the same as before. A man in black is sitting behind a jet black counter about a foot long. He has the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation.

The man in black glanced at Ye Ming with his consciousness, and was immediately shocked to find that the person who came was actually a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage.

"Tell the important point!"

"The surname is Xiao! Rogue cultivator..." Based on Ye Ming's description, the man in black immediately recalled relevant information in his mind.

Ye Ming said calmly: "This person is a casual cultivator. He should have the early stage of Nascent Soul. His surname is Xiao. He may be good at escape techniques and has good escape skills. Can you locate who he is based on these characteristics? And where is it? Can this person be found?"

However, he did not say it immediately. Instead, he pretended to think and quietly observed Ye Ming with the corner of his eyes.

"Thank you, senior, for your approval!" The man in black smiled.

Ye Ming did not hide his cultivation this time, but he changed his face.

He couldn't entertain customers of Ye Ming's level a few times a year, so he behaved very politely.

Generally speaking, he no longer dresses up in disguise when walking in the world of immortality, but the place he came to this time is a bit special. This is a place that specializes in selling information. He still doesn't plan to let others see anything, otherwise, his news will soon be will be trafficked by these people.

"Oh? Your Excellency, please tell me, we may not know much about places outside Dajin, but as long as they are within Dajin, we absolutely know and will ensure your satisfaction." The man in black promised, regardless of whether he could do it or not, he agreed first Say it again.

This great cultivator was very familiar. He didn't look like any of the elders from the major forces, nor was he one of the four major casual cultivators.

Ye Ming nodded slightly and said calmly: "I heard that you have many sources of information and are relatively accurate. I admire them very much."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, look at my mouth, I don't have any control over what I say."

"What? You have no news about this person?" Ye Ming's face sank when he saw that the person in front of him had not spoken for a long time.

Seeing Ye Ming looking at him coldly, he had no choice but to continue:
"Xiao Zuo is quite famous among casual cultivators. It is said that this person is capable of cheating and kidnapping. Many fellow Yuan Ying practitioners have suffered from this person. However, because of his extraordinary means of escaping, many want to find him. The troublesome people all return in vain..."

He immediately threw the jade pendant he was playing with on the counter and said politely:
"Welcome to our Dark Spirit Pavilion. This pavilion sells various information such as heavenly materials, earthly treasures, monuments and relics. May I ask what you need."

Seeing Ye Ming showing signs of anger, the man in black suddenly realized and said: "Ah, I remembered, you should be talking about Xiao Zuo, Mr. Xiao!"

Seeing that he was still not getting to the point, Ye Ming interrupted the long-winded man in black.

Could it be that some force recently promoted a new great monk? The one who hasn’t had time to make the news public yet?
The man in black couldn't help but guess this.

The man in black laughed dryly, and then said: "Old Xiao should have arrived in Jinjing City recently. If you want to know his whereabouts, I will ask someone to check it for you, but this spiritual stone..."

"I am here this time to ask you about someone!"

With a "pop" sound, Ye Ming threw a small bag on the counter without saying a word.

The man in black picked up the bag, scanned it with his consciousness, and then put it away with satisfaction.

Then he turned around and started tinkering in front of the screen at the back. After a while, a platform several feet wide was revealed under the counter, with a miniature magic circle carved on it.

The magic circle suddenly lit up with a white light, and when the light dissipated, a blue jade slip was revealed.

The man in black reached out and took the jade slip in his hand. He looked inside and felt that it was OK, then used his magic power to send it to Ye Ming.

"This is the latest news about Mr. Xiao, including where he is, who he may be with, etc. Please check it!"

Ye Ming took the jade slip and looked at it carefully.

After a moment, he calmly put away the jade slip, then turned and walked out of the house.

When the man in black saw this, he waved his hands in farewell.

"Your Excellency, please go slowly. Welcome to come again next time. I will definitely make you feel satisfied!"

After Ye Ming's figure disappeared, he thought to himself: "This person should not be a Dajin monk! That's right, the big auction that happens once in ten years is about to begin, and some outsiders are normal. I just don't know that this person is looking for Xiao Lao'er What's the matter, seeking revenge? Or hunting for treasure..."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter what he does. I'm just selling information, and everything else is none of my business." After a while, he shook his head again, lay down on the chair, and continued to play with the jade pendant.

……

Xiao Zuo is a short, average-looking, skinny old man with a few sparse broken beards on his chin. His eyes are rolling and he looks a bit philistine.

He has been active in Longzhou for a long time and is a famous local casual cultivator. Since entering the path of cultivating immortals, relying on cunning, cunning and good opportunities, I was lucky enough to reach the early stage of Nascent Soul.

Not long ago, when he was out on a trip, he accidentally met an injured Nascent Soul monk. After carefully observing and calculating, and making sure plans, he decisively chose to kill and seize the treasure.

After a fierce fight, he successfully killed the man and gained a lot of benefits from him.

This harvest is undoubtedly an exciting thing for Xiao Zuo, who has been trapped in the early stage of Nascent Soul for many years.

However, if you want to turn these benefits into cultivation, you have to rely on chance. After all, there are not many things that can increase your cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage, and they are hard to come by.

At this time, Jinjing's ten-year auction is about to begin. By then, there will definitely be a large number of immortal cultivators in Jinjing City, especially high-level immortal cultivators. This made it very likely that various rare elixirs that rarely appeared in the world would appear in Jinjing and auctions, so Xiao Zuo took his disciples to Jinjing.

Unfortunately, after nearly a month of visits and exchanges, he found very little and no such items at all, which made him very depressed.

On this day, Xiao Zuo and his disciples were going to attend a small exchange meeting. As he was walking through the door of an exquisite teahouse, a strange voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I heard that you are currently looking for various spiritual objects to improve your cultivation. I have something in my hand that may interest you. Can you come upstairs to talk about it?"

"Who?" Xiao Laoer glanced around with vigilant eyes, and then suddenly raised his head to look above the teahouse.

I saw a young man in white sitting by the window, holding a teacup and raising his hand to signal to him.

"Master, what's wrong?" A young man in blue next to him asked in confusion when he saw the master's behavior.

After Xiao Laoer's expression changed for a few times, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay. Go to the restaurant in front and keep an eye on what's going on here. So... so..."

"Yes, master!" The young man in blue took the order and left.

After Xiao Laoer quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, he finally gritted his teeth and walked into the teahouse.

The interior of the tea house is quite elegantly decorated. The entire first floor is divided into small compartments. There are many tea guests inside, leisurely sipping spiritual tea. The whole environment looks quiet and elegant.

Xiao Laoer took a casual glance and found that the tea guests on the first floor were basically monks below the elixir formation stage.

So he walked directly to the stairs on the second floor.
