"I would like to invite fellow Taoists to explore this cave of the ancient Zifu monks together!" Kong Xin said calmly.

"Ancient Monk's Cave..."

Ye Jin's eyes moved slightly and he repeated.

"Yes, the head of the Zhao family and I made a preliminary exploration of that cave. Due to the existence of restrictions, we were not able to actually enter the cave, and there were some puppet beasts outside the cave. But Daoyou Zhao and I were very capable.

Difficult to explore.”

"This time, I am inviting you, Brother Shankui, to explore this cave together. The treasures obtained will be distributed according to work."

Ye Jin's eyes did not change, he smiled, and suddenly asked:

"I have just broken through to transparency and am still a demon cultivator. How could Fellow Daoist Kong think of inviting me? There are many masters among the second-level monks present just now. Fellow Daoist Kong, if you invite just one of them, it would probably be better than inviting me who is only in the early stage of enlightenment.

Is it a lot?"

Speaking of this, Ye Jin's expression was somewhat meaningful.

Obviously, the meaning of Ye Jin's words is that you, Kong Xin, are probably killing people and seizing treasures in the name of the ancient cave.

Kong Xin was not a fool, so he naturally understood what Ye Jin meant.

His face did not show the slightest expression, but he said directly: "I invite you, Taoist friend Shankui. One of the reasons is because of Master Mingpo. You can be favored by Master Mingpo. Naturally,

It’s trustworthy.”

"Another reason is that it is precisely because you, Brother Shankui, are only in the early stage of enlightenment, so I am relieved to invite you to explore this ancient cave together."

Speaking of this, Kong Xin's pale face looked very calm, and the content of his words was also quite straightforward.

It is precisely because you, Ye Jin, are only at the early stage of enlightenment that I invite you. If it were another mid-to-late second stage or even a perfect practitioner, Kong Xin would not dare to invite you to explore this ancient cave together.

After all, everyone knows the nature of casual cultivators, and it is commonplace for people to cheat on others.

Kong Xin himself is only at the mid-level cultivation level of the fifth level of foundation building. The head of the Zhao family is about the same level as Ye Jin, and may even be a little lower than Ye Jin. After all, he is also a second-level person who has only recently succeeded in building the foundation.

Newcomer.

If we invite second-level perfect masters such as White Tiger Demon and Moro Child Elder to go to the ancient cave, once the treasure is discovered, internal fighting will almost 100% happen.

There is a high probability that you will be stabbed in the back by this kind of person.

On the contrary, monks like Ye Jin and the head of the Zhao family, who are in the early stages of foundation building, have similar cultivation levels, but they will fear each other and explore peacefully.

Of course, being able to gain Ming Po's trust was also one of the important reasons why Kong Xin chose Ye Jin.

After listening to Kong Xin's words, Ye Jin didn't feel any discomfort. After all, his own cultivation level was in the early stage of enlightenment. As for his actual combat power, who can't say for sure if he doesn't fully display it?

Ye Jin smiled, nodded and said:

"Since Fellow Daoist Kong has said it so straightforwardly, why should I refuse?"

"I wonder when you plan to leave?"

Seeing that Ye Jin agreed, Kong Xin showed undisguised joy on his face and said in surprise: "That's great! With the help of fellow Taoist Shankui on this trip, we will definitely gain a lot."

After speaking, Kong Xin patiently explained:

"The next time to explore the cave is scheduled for three months from now, and the location will be at Chiba Pier.

I think there is a very powerful restriction outside that ancient cave, and we need to prepare some means to break it."

Ye Jin nodded: "Okay, I will make an appointment in three months."

"In that case, Kong will be waiting for Fellow Daoist Shankui at Chiba Pier in three months' time."

After that, Ye Jin and Kong Xin left one after another under the arrangement of the old host. Kong Xin left first, and Ye Jin stayed at the end.

Seeing Kong Xin's back disappearing through the stone door, Ye Jin cupped her hands and said to the old man beside her:

"Thank you, senior, for taking care of me at this trade fair. I'm afraid I will bother you a lot more in the future."

At this trade fair, the old man showed more or less concern for him, whether it was because he was introduced by Ming Po to dispel the ill intentions of other second-level practitioners, or he was later willing to pay a high price of 200,000 spiritual stones to buy him.

From "The Netherworld Sutra", you can see the old man's care for himself in these aspects.

Moreover, Ye Jin discovered that this kind of underground trading would have an advantage, that is, there would be a lot of good things.

Such as Youluo Yunzhou, high-grade spiritual stones, etc., are all rare and good treasures, at least they are much better than the stalls in the "Panjiayuan" Tianyuan Market.

Although most of them may be dirty, to practitioners like Ye Jin, what does it matter whether they are dirty or not?

As long as the thing is good, it counts

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's not a problem. How can I not entertain the guests introduced by Master Ming Po?"

Ye Jin originally wanted to ask the mysterious old woman Ming Po about her background, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.

"I won't disturb you, senior. I'll take my leave now."

The old man nodded, took out the black jade token given by Ming Po from his arms and gave it back to Ye Jin, saying:

"This token is a communication order. When the trade fair is held later, it will be revealed on the token. The location is still here. You can come directly."

Nodding and accepting the black jade token, Ye Jin handed over his hand and said goodbye:

"Next time I come to bother senior, I'll take the first step."

"Go." The old man waved goodbye with a smile.

After saying goodbye, Ye Jin left through the secret passage. When he came out, he found that it was not the stone house he came in, but an alley, which showed the old man's caution.

After walking out of the alley, to be cautious, Ye Jin spread her spiritual consciousness first to see if there was anyone ambushing her around.

The night is dark and moonless.

Immortal cultivators are also inevitably affected by the fact that mortals work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Unless necessary, they seldom move around at night and return to their rented caves for meditation.

The streets that were still bustling with people during the day have now become silent.

Except for the occasional watchman, there was no one else walking on the street.

Following the street to the south of the "mortal area", Ye Jin raised his eyes to check the direction. Ye Jin was about to activate the small flying charm to go back.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a huge figure suddenly appearing at the end of his sight.

Looking around, after seeing the figure's face clearly, Ye Jin couldn't help but let out a soft sigh:

"It's actually him?"

This huge figure is tall and mighty, with a long elephant trunk trailing from its face. It is the elephant demon that was at the trade fair not long ago!

"He hasn't left yet?"

Ye Jin couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Logically speaking, this elephant demon should have left the south part of the city half an hour ago. Why does it look like he just left at this time?

At this time, the elephant demon was doing something that was inconsistent with its burly body. He was cautious, turning his head three times with each step, his eyes were extremely alert, like a timid mouse.

After leaving the southern part of the city, the elephant demon activated the small flying charm to blend into the night and quietly fly in a certain direction.

Ye Jin has sharp eyes and knows that this direction is the direction away from Qianye City.

Thinking back to Xiang Yao's eagerness to buy the Jingshen Pill, could it be that one of Xiang Yao's friends whose spirit was damaged was settled outside the city?

But why outside the city?

Isn’t it good to rent a cave in Chiba Castle?

In this way, with the existence of Qianye Hall, although secret assassinations cannot be stopped, at least those casual cultivators who lick blood at the tip of their swords do not dare to blatantly plunder.

unless……

Xiang Yao’s best friend can’t even enter Chiba City!

Ye Jin's eyes moved slightly and he quickly figured out this point.

Only those who have offended Chiba Hall or are wanted by Chiba Hall dare not enter Chiba City.

It seems that the soul-damaged friend behind the elephant demon has an unusual identity...

Ye Jin felt a little sigh in his heart for a second, then his eyes suddenly condensed.

I saw that shortly after the elephant demon left, the space at the end of the street squirmed, and a vague figure appeared, and then it turned into a faint light and disappeared in a flash.

Seeing this scene, Ye Jin couldn't help but look thoughtful.

It seems that I have encountered a murderer to seize the treasure?

Stand there and think for a moment.

One of the purposes of Ye Jin's trip to the trade fair was to catch some fish.

However, under the care of the old man from the trade fair, the casual cultivators who might have had ill intentions towards Ye Jin had to put their minds aside.

An unexpected combination of circumstances also caused Ye Jin's fishing plan to go to waste.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Jin took out his small flying talisman and followed him.

The figure behind the elephant demon is absolutely unexpected, with a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind it.
