In the afternoon, Hou Xiaowu spent two hours to arrive at another city thousands of miles away.

When he appeared in the Qizhen Pavilion in this city, Xiao Wu had already changed his appearance and turned into an octogenarian, with his back hunched, and a bamboo basket that was almost inclined to be carried on his back. The bamboo basket looked very ordinary, but after years of wind and rain, it changed from its true colors to its soy color.

But the old man's eyes were very bright, and his momentum was a bit like the old man in a large sect. However, he was concerned about the world and saw through some things that were disturbed by mediocre people in the world, and seemed to have a unique wisdom formed.

Therefore, the person in charge of receiving Hou Xiaowu did not dare to neglect him and invited him to the counter.

Hou Xiaowu casually asked a shopkeeper nearest: "Give me two air-dried mushroom grass, one that has been picked and hung for no more than half a year, one portion of jade flower liquid squeezed from jade flowers, and one portion of earth magic stone powder."

The shopkeeper said that they had all these things and would arrange them immediately.

Hou Xiaowu was calm and breeze: "How many spirit stones?"

Enjoying this feeling of being treated with courtesy, Hou Xiaowu secretly thought no wonder the elders of the outer sect would feel superior when facing him. If he had a higher status than others, he would probably have to do this.

Well, just take advantage of the moment, and spend the spirit stones given by that mysterious real person to enjoy the feeling of being respected by the master, and enjoy it once more.

"Customer, the amount of jade flower liquid and earth magic stone powder is the standard amount, right?" the shopkeeper asked politely.

After receiving a positive answer, the shopkeeper immediately made a calculation and also knew that the old man was an alchemist. He probably came here by traveling or collecting spiritual medicines and came in to buy some of the things needed for alchemy.

"Customer, the price of the spirit stones of these four items is 5,500 spirit stones. Can you ask if the spirit stones are commonly used in our Qizhen Pavilion?"

Crystal cards, whether they are ordinary crystal cards, silver crystal cards or amethyst cards, or higher-grade crystal cards, can enjoy many different discounts after being presented, and at the very least, it can help buyers save money.

The old man frowned: "Medium-grade spirit stone settlement."

The implication is that the other party is not up to the point and even takes down the spirit stone to settle the settlement.

"Yes, this is for you." The shopkeeper laughed and thought to himself that he had made a small mistake. The other party was an alchemist. When he came in, he ordered the things he wanted to buy. He did not bargain or ask about the price carefully. He was a wealthy alchemist. The other party probably wouldn't use high-grade and low-grade spirit stones.

"There are 51 medium-grade spirit stones in total." The shopkeeper replied.

"Give it to you, hurry up." The old man urged the shopkeeper to quickly get all the things he bought.

If you didn't get the item, you paid the fee first. There were not a single customer, but it was only a few. The shopkeeper felt that his judgment was not wrong and the other party was indeed rich.

"By the way, I asked you in the branch pavilion in other places before. I took a somewhat defective Three God Alchemy Furnace to exchange for the Breaking Divine Stone in your Qizhen Pavilion. Have you changed your mind now?"

The old man seemed to suddenly remember this and asked indifferently.

"Have the guest mentioned this to our Qizhen Pavilion before?" The shopkeeper was surprised. After all, the other party mentioned the Three Gods Alchemy Furnace.

He hasn't heard of this from his colleagues yet, and I think the other party has made such a transaction request recently.

"Yes." The old man nodded.

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Customer, I have not heard that Qizhen Pavilion has plans to sell the Breaking Knight Stone."

At first, he knew that Qizhen Pavilion had no reason to sell the Killing Stone that the twelve major sects handed over to Qizhen Pavilion for safekeeping.

Secondly, whether the senior management's ideas about this have changed is not something that he, a small shopkeeper, can know. He does not intend to report to the master or deputy master of the branch pavilion to ask the two adults about the situation. This will not do anything good for him, and may also cause a scolding, saying that he is asking nonsense and wasting the time of the two adults.

"Okay, Qizhen Pavilion is unwilling to be sold, and I can't do forced buying and selling, you go." The old man waved his hand.

The shopkeeper left with a smile. When he heard the old man behind him laughing, "Hehe, I still feel like he is losing money when I exchanged the Three Gods Alchemy Furnace? I don't know the goods."

The shopkeeper pretended not to hear it and shook his face. This person commented that Qizhen Pavilion didn't know the goods, so how could he know that the transaction idea he proposed was simply a fantasy?

However, some of the guests next to the old man couldn't help but look at the old man a few more times, and even wanted to ask the old man to talk about the Three Gods Alchemy Furnace with shamelessness. After that, they could use this chat experience as a topic of conversation. But then they found that the old man looked at them one by one with a cold expression. The idea of ​​taking the initiative to chat with the old man was immediately gone.

First of all, this person looks hard to mess with. Secondly, if he has the Three Gods Alchemy Furnace, his status will definitely be not low. There is no need to deliberately draw it close to the other party.

As for ambushing this man, snatching the treasures and seizing the Three Gods Alchemy Furnace? They don’t have this idea. Let’s not talk about the other party that may not necessarily bring the Three Gods Alchemy Furnace with them. Their own strength is originally mediocre. They took the risk of taking action because of greed, but it’s not as simple as “I didn’t eat mutton and even got a slut”, but it would lose my head!

Hou Xiaowu is a human being. How could he not see the thoughts of the guests sitting next to him? He couldn't help but feel proud. He was respected and became a big shot. He didn't even need to show anything extra, but he could only rely on one body.

If you can make others cautious guesses or even deliberately avoid them, it is better to be a big shot.

"No wonder someone still feels that it is not enough after becoming an outer sect deacon. He wants to be an outer sect elder. After becoming an outer sect elder, he still wants to climb up and become an inner sect elder."

Hou Xiaowu talked to himself secretly, but then suddenly remembered that his pattern and thoughts were a little wrong, and he was not that kind of material. He could just enjoy the feeling of being a big shot because of this opportunity. When the tide faded, he would return to his original state.

What's more, the mysterious Yuanying real person who gave him such an opportunity has a much higher status than him, and he is not arrogant when talking to him, and he shows superiority everywhere.

"My situation is still small. Perhaps the more powerful a person is, the less authority it will be in front of ordinary people. If it were me, I would have wanted to take the initiative to find those outsiders who are not as good as mine and catch them to show my power."

Hou Xiaowu felt that he had to learn from that mysterious real person.

As he thought about it, Hou Xiaowu found that the old man had returned and brought four small wooden boxes.

Hou Xiaowu took a brief count, nodded and confirmed, put the small wooden box into the storage ring, and turned around and left.

The sudden departure really made the shopkeeper unexpectedly. The shopkeeper originally wanted to talk to the other party and try to know the other party's origin, but when he chased him, he had already left the door of the hall.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper had to turn back. He had a sharp ear and heard a guest talking about the Three Gods Alchemy Furnace. He had only taken a few steps and was asked by a guest.

"Shopkeeper Sun, is this three god alchemy furnace very powerful? Is it really worth it to exchange for the Breaking Divine Stone of Qizhen Pavilion?"

Suddenly, the other guests started to discuss it. Although the shopkeeper did not participate, he was embarrassed to stop it. After all, these people were not offending Qizhen Pavilion, and did not verbally insult or belonging to Qizhen Pavilion.

Hou Xiaowu's goal was achieved again.

Both branches of the pavilions have guests involved, and they will definitely talk to people around them about the Three Gods Alchemy Furnace trying to exchange for the Breaking Divine Stone.

Moreover, in the branch pavilion just now, he played the good friend of the alchemist named Liu. At least now, someone will believe that there is a very old alchemist in the spiritual world who owns a three-god alchemist and is eager to trade with Qizhen Pavilion in exchange for the Breaking Kowloon God Stone.

Of course, the method used to increase the value of the Sky-Breaking Divine Stone is to compare and set off another treasure, but only the Three Gods Alchemy Furnace is definitely not enough.

Hou Xiaowu knew that the method he used now was enough to meet the requirements, that is, he only needed to reuse this method.

"Let the news spread first, and I will continue to make the news tomorrow afternoon."

Hou Xiaowu did not return to Qizhen Pavilion, but continued to set off to rush forward when dusk was approaching. He stopped at almost three o'clock in the evening. The city he arrived at was almost four thousand miles away from the afternoon one!

After a full rest, Xiaowu continued to travel in the morning the next day and arrived at his destination in the afternoon.

This city called Hecheng has a trading market that is open day and night. When practitioners who are not clear about the situation go, they can basically trade things on the table. Only those who are familiar with the situation can trade things from real sellers or organizations in the trading market, which have unknown origins but high value.

It is naturally a gray or even black area to be able to trade things of unknown origin, so there are also things like purchasing information, entrusting practitioners to take on various tasks, etc.

When Hou Xiaowu chose this place, he naturally understood the market and had a universal jade slip that was not bound to his specific identity. If he held this jade slip, only this person knew who he should look for after entering the market, so he could talk to the other party about shameless things under the table.

Hou Xiaowu's outfit is a young cultivator in his forties. He is almost the same as his original situation, but he has made a big change in appearance.

He walked into the market in broad daylight. Some trading stall owners at Charming Hui Market welcomed him and walked straight forward, walked and walked, and arrived at the middle of the market. He walked in from the side alley of a store with closed doors and arrived at the back door of the store.

The back door was also closed tightly, but it didn't matter. Hou Xiaowu knew where he was, so he reached out and slapped the wooden door twice, paused for a second, paused for three times, paused for another second, paused for four times.

After taking the fourth shot, the wooden door creaked open. Standing inside was also a middle-aged man of about the same height as Hou Xiaowu and was about the same age, looking at Hou Xiaowu with expressionless face.

Hou Xiaowu didn't talk nonsense, took out a gray jade slip without saying a word, and threw it over directly.

He had a rude or even provocative action towards this, but the other party had no intention of being angry at all. He took it with both hands and injected mana into the gray jade slip. When the jade slip was glowing under the action of mana and a bull's head appeared on the surface, he nodded and used the same action to throw the gray jade slip back.

"Welcome to Evil Niufang, please here."

The middle-aged man smiled, and a scar on his cheek seemed more three-dimensional, and he smiled more fiercely and violently than when he was stern.

Hou Xiaowu knew that this evil bull shop would not be as courteous as the Qizhen Pavilion treats guests. He came here just to talk directly. No one was willing to make friends with people or say some nonsense, so he walked in.

After the hall, Hou Xiaowu said directly to a fat headed man who walked out: "The master entrusted me to come here and use a Xinghai Han Bow and Qizhen Pavilion to trade to get a broken air stone. Can the forces behind the Evil Niufang promote this transaction?"

"No." Fatto Tuo directly answered, not even giving the reason.

Evil Niufang naturally cannot handle it with its own strength. After the rumor of the power behind it has risen step by step, its biggest backer is a certain sect of the twelve major sects. But Fatto Tuo didn't even think about it and could not accept such orders. Obviously, he could give a very positive answer without asking his superiors.

Hou Xiaowu nodded and changed his head: "If you entrust you to get a divine stone that breaks the sky, the starry sea bow will still belong to you."

After saying that, Hou Xiaowu showed off the top-grade spirit stone, "The master said that if you can do things, you can pay some spirit stones in advance as deposit."

But Fatto Tuo still shook his head: "I can't do it. Our people's strength is not yet at the point where we can go to Qizhen Pavilion to snatch treasures without any hesitation."

"Okay, say goodbye." Hou Xiaowu didn't say nonsense from beginning to end. Seeing that he couldn't handle the entrustment, he chose to leave directly.

Fatto Tuo couldn't help but ask behind: "Is it appropriate for your master to entrust our Evil Niufang for something like this?"

"Is the shopkeeper not confident in his evil bull shop?" Hou Xiaowu turned around, with a little joke.

"It has nothing to do with this, I said jokingly that your master doesn't seem to be very smart." Fatto Tuo replied, refusing to suffer a loss.

The other party's master wants to get the Knight-Breaking Divine Stone. Whether it is taking the path of fair trade or taking the dark path of robbery, the Knight-Breaking Divine Stone is bound to the Tang Divine Stone. If he were the master, he would never put his hope on the Evil Niufang.

Of course, when the other party saw that he refused, he left immediately without revealing anything unusual. The evil giant shop would not be involved in any trouble, which also made him feel relieved and would not think that the other party came to the door with an ulterior motive.

It is precisely because of this that I don’t need to set defense on the other party that I asked more questions before the other party left.

"Don't talk nonsense," Hou Xiaowu rebuked coldly, "My master has found that it is useless after searching for other ways, so he sent me to take a different approach and try to find more forces to do this. Moreover, if the shopkeeper is well-informed, he should know that recently an alchemist wants to exchange a three-god alchemy furnace for the Breaking Divine Stone. My master has an extra opponent, so he naturally has to hurry up and try more."

"I understand." Fattoo no longer asked.

It turned out that I was afraid that the alchemist would take the lead, so the other party's master was eager to try it out. To put it bluntly, doing so is destined to be useless. It is tantamount to hope to achieve a breakthrough by relying on this way.

Hou Xiaowu turned around and left, without saying anything more.

But Hou Xiaowu did not leave the trading market, but went to a shop not far away. The owner of the shop, like Fattotuo, was also engaged in shameful trading affairs in the market.

The same method was made, Hou Xiaowu let the other party know that someone was willing to take out a very ancient special holy weapon such as the Star Sea Han Bow to try to trade to get the Breaking Stone.

If you only say this to one person and two people, the news may not be spread too widely, and it may be digested internally and ended abruptly. Hou Xiaowu knew about this, so he visited five stores in this market in one breath, and each visit was very short.

Hou Xiaowu knew that at least thirty or forty people would know about this in the five stores, and the trading market itself gathered well-informed people. It won’t take long before the news would be taken out by some people here and spread from all directions.

Of course, there are only two precious treasures, Star Sea Han Bow and Three Gods Alchemy Furnace, which have not yet created obvious popularity. There will be no discussions on the Breaking Divine Stone, so there is still a need to continue to hype to increase the value of the Breaking Divine Stone.

Hou Xiaowu learned from that friend who was a senior auctioneer in the auction house. When there is a hot discussion about the Killing Stone in a short period of time, Qizhen Pavilion will definitely know it. Moreover, with the judgment of the senior management of Qizhen Pavilion, they will suspect that someone is deliberately speculating on the value of the Killing Stone. However, the experience that Hou Xiaowu learned is that even if Qizhen Pavilion is so suspicious, he still can't help but think that taking advantage of the highest value of the Killing Stone, it may be a good choice to sell at high prices.

The reason is that the Breaking Divine Stone has attracted a lot of attention. If you have attention, it means that Qizhen Pavilion, which owns the Breaking Divine Stone, has the initiative and can take advantage of this good time to make the Breaking Divine Stone a sky-high price!

As long as Qizhen Pavilion is moved, it is possible to act.

Of course, whether Qizhen Pavilion will take out the Breaking Divine Stone to trade as the wish of the Yuanying Real Person, depends on Qizhen Pavilion's choice. But at least that person's plan will work.

In the next two days, Hou Xiaowu returned to Qizhen Pavilion General Pavilion, which made many people see him doing serious things and would not think that he had been doing strange things recently. After staying in the Pavilion for a long time, he left again and went to other places to release several messages using similar methods.

All the news involves a very powerful treasure and the Breaking Divine Stone, creating an atmosphere where people are eager to get the Breaking Divine Stone, but they are not willing to let go of Qizhen Pavilion and have no chance to negotiate with Qizhen Pavilion. However, as long as Qizhen Pavilion is willing, they can immediately sell the Breaking Divine Stone for a sky-high price.

At this point, Hou Xiaowu spent four days to complete the first task assigned to him by the mysterious Yuanying Real Person.
Chapter completed!
