"Hehe, our Tianwu Baoxuan is already subordinate to the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, if Mu Daoyou was a distinguished guest of our Chamber of Commerce, he will naturally be our old customer. However, can you show some proof? The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded and said.

Shi Mu didn't say a word, flipped it with one hand, and took out an orange jade plaque from the dust ring, which was engraved with a monster pattern of eight songs and eight sides, which was exquisitely clear and lifelike.

This is a token sent to him by Xu Luzi afterwards in the branch of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce in Quyang City, after Shi Mu entrusted the task, so that he could keep it.

The shopkeeper took the jade plate, carefully identified it, and then looked up and said:

"Yes, it is indeed a VIP order of our Chamber of Commerce. However, this item seems to have been distributed by the Dongzhou Continent, could it be that Your Excellency is from the Dongzhou Continent?"

"That's right, I once stayed in Quyang City in the ancient kingdom of Western Xia for a period of time, and I had some business dealings with Elder Xu Luzi, and he gave me this thing. Shi Mu nodded.

"It turned out to be Master Xu's old friend, disrespectful! Mu Daoyou is a guest of honor, please move inside to speak. When the shopkeeper heard this, he was obviously much closer to Shi Mu between his words.

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Shi turned around and walked to a side door next to the room, stopped and turned around, and made a gesture of invitation to Shi Mu.

"Courteous. Shi Mu said and walked into the side door.

Under the leadership of Shopkeeper Shi, the two came to an elegantly furnished private room, and tea was served by the attendant.

"Does Shopkeeper Shi know Master Xu Luzi?" asked Shi Mu.

"Master Xu is a well-known refining master in our society, so he naturally knows it. More than ten years ago, when Master Xu came to the Xihe Continent, he had asked him for some advice on refining. Shopkeeper Shi said with a smile.

"Mu heard that there seems to have been a great turmoil in the Western Xia Kingdom a few days ago, but I don't know what the situation is there now?" Shi Mu asked.

"Mu Daoyou refers to the Tongtian Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect joining forces to attack the Eastern Sect of the Dark Moon, but I have heard of this matter a little. After this battle, the Eastern Sect of the Dark Moon was destroyed, and now Quyang City is also unrecognizable, and if you want to restore the past prosperity, you don't know what year it will be. Shopkeeper Shi sighed and said.

"Isn't the branch of your Chamber of Commerce in Quyang City ......," Shi Mu said.

"Oh, that's not going to happen. Our Tianwu Chamber of Commerce has always only done things related to trading since ancient times, and has never participated in disputes between various forces, so most of the forces will still give a little face. Today, the Chamber of Commerce's business in Quyang City is still under the control of Master Xu. Shopkeeper Shi said with a smile.

"I see, that's a lot of worry. In fact, Mu came here today, in addition to asking about the auction, he also wanted to ask if the previous commission had been completed. Shi Mu said this, but his heart became more and more curious about the background of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce.

"Of course, I also ask Mu Daoyou to sit here for a while and have some tea. Shopkeeper Shi nodded, and walked out with Shi Mu's orange jade plate.

Shi Mu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, a contemplative look appeared on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Shopkeeper Shi walked back, with a slightly strange expression.

"I wonder if Mu's commission has been completed?" Shi Mu frowned slightly and asked.

"Mu Daoyou's commission is to deliver a letter to a woman named Zhong Xiu, right?" asked Shopkeeper Shi.

"Not bad. Shi Mu replied.

According to the records of the meeting, this letter has been delivered safely, and Taoist friends can rest assured. Shopkeeper Shi said.

"That's good. I don't know if I can ask your chamber of commerce to help check again, what is the situation of this Zhong Xiu now, has it been affected by the war?" Shi Mu said.

"It's a bit of a tricky thing to do. For some reason, all the information about this woman has been sealed by the Chamber of Commerce, and I tried to inquire before I went down, but I found that I couldn't find the slightest information about her. Shopkeeper Shi said with some embarrassment.

"Why is this, does Shopkeeper Shi know the reason?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why, but I'm just telling you the truth. Shopkeeper Shi said.

Shi Mu's brows furrowed, looking at the appearance of this shopkeeper, it didn't seem to be a fake.

"Does this often happen to your Chamber of Commerce, or what would make your Tianwu Chamber of Commerce seal a person's information so much?" he was silent for a moment, and changed his roundabout question.

"This situation should be extremely rare, and it is the first time I have encountered it. However, the Zhong Xiu that Mu Daoyou is looking for should be safe for his life, perhaps because he was involved in something related to the Chamber of Commerce, which caused the information to be sealed. Shopkeeper Shi said.

"Then is there a way to unseal Zhong Xiu's information, how many spirit stones do you need?" Shi Mu still asked with some reluctance.

"Impossible, the rules of our association are extremely strict, and for the sealed information, even if you take more spirit stones, you will be helpless. Shopkeeper Shi shook his head.

"Okay, if there is any change in Zhong Xiu's situation, please be sure to inform me, it doesn't matter how many spirit stones you need. Shi Mu smiled bitterly and said.

"This is natural, Mu Daoyou can rest assured. By the way, the auction held by the Chamber of Commerce will be held in two days, and if Mu Daoyou is interested, he can come and participate, this is a pass. The shopkeeper said, took out a golden card-like thing and handed it to Shi Mu.

"Is there the essence blood of high-level ape demon beasts at the auction?" Shi Mu took the card and asked.

"Ape Essence Blood? The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

Shi Mu was a little depressed in his heart, his luck seemed to be quite bad today, and he didn't hear anything.

Since there was nothing he wanted, there was no need to participate in the auction.

He was about to get up and say goodbye and leave, when his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he remembered something, and asked:

"One more thing, I wonder if your chamber of commerce can help?"

Mu Daoyou said that it didn't matter, as long as the meeting could do it, he would naturally not refuse. Shopkeeper Shi said.

"Mu wants to rent a fire room in Rikang City, I wonder if you can help?" Shi Mu asked.

"Fire Room, those are all controlled by the Flame Snake Department and the people of the Dark Moon Western Sect, and our Tianwu Chamber of Commerce is not involved in the forging and alchemy industry in Rikang City. There is nothing that can be done about this matter. Shopkeeper Shi said apologetically.

"Your Tianwu Chamber of Commerce doesn't claim to be omnipotent, why did Shi ask three things in a row, and you all shirked for such and such reasons!" Cai'er, who had been staying quietly on Shi Mu's shoulder, suddenly shouted.

Shopkeeper Shi showed a look of surprise on his face, glanced at Cai'er, groaned slightly, and asked:

"What is the use of Mu Daoyou's fire room? Could it be that he wants his own refining weapon, alchemy, or other uses?"

"No, Mu's cultivation is special, and he needs an environment of the Fire Yuan Spirit Land, so he needs to rent a fire room. Shi Mu said.

"If that's the case, there is another way, maybe it works. Shopkeeper Shi said.

"What way?" Shi Mu's eyes lit up.

Mu Daoyou waited. Shopkeeper Shi turned and walked out of the room, this time a full quarter of an hour before he returned, holding a somewhat worn book.

"Mu Daoyou, please take a look. ”

Shi Mu took it, and a few quaint seal characters of "Qimen Array Map" on the cover of the classic book came into view.

He flipped through it, and was a little pleasantly surprised to find that there were several kinds of magic arrays recorded in this thin booklet, one of which was called the Yinghuo Array, which could use a large number of fire stones combined with fire attribute spirit stones to build an environment with a strong fire attribute aura like a volcano.

"Speaking of this formation, it was originally specially researched by a senior in the Chamber of Commerce who tried to cultivate a top-grade fire attribute spirit grass to artificially create a suitable environment. Unfortunately, the resources consumed by this move were too large to outweigh the losses, so I gave up. Fortunately, this formation has been passed down, and it should be helpful for Mu Daoyou's situation. Shopkeeper Shi said.

"This Yinghuo Array is really useful to me, I don't know how many spirit stones are needed for this tome?" Shi Mu asked.

"The magic circles recorded in this book "Qimen Array Map" are quite remote and unpopular, but no one has cared about them for many years, Mu Daoyou needs it, even if you are five hundred spirit stones. Shopkeeper Shi said.

Shi Mu happily paid the spirit stone and left Tianwu Baoxuan.

Back at his lodgings, he couldn't wait to carefully study the Flame Formation.

According to the records, the number of Fire Gang Stones and Fire Spirit Stones required for this formation has indeed reached an astronomical amount, and the intensity of the fire attribute vitality in the Fire Spirit Land created by it is indeed good.

Shi Mu did have some fire spirit stones on his body, but compared to the amount required to arrange the formation, it was far from enough.

The Huogang Stone is mainly used to stabilize the magic circle and prevent the excessive dissipation of fire vitality, although the price itself is acceptable, but the amount required is too large, and the amount of spirit stones spent is not a small amount.

Coupled with the consumption of a large number of fire attribute spirit stones, I am afraid that all the savings on his body now will only last for a period of time.

So far, he is trapped in the city, and he doesn't know how long it will take to get out, if he can build a fire room to practice the eighth layer of the Red Ape Fire Sutra, then everything is worth it.

But before that, we need to find a suitable place.

Two days later, Shi Mu found a remote and secluded mansion through Fangyazi in the city.

Located in the north of the city, this house is quite large and not expensive.

"According to Senior Mu's requirements, the room here is definitely enough. And in the middle of nowhere, absolutely no one will bother you. A man in gray said.

This person looks a little roe-headed rat-eyed, but he is quite enthusiastic about Shi Mu.

Shi Mu glanced at the somewhat deserted mansion and nodded slightly.

It's nothing remote, he mainly doesn't want to be disturbed.

"This is it. Shi Mu said, and immediately paid the spirit stone.

The gray-clothed man showed joy on his face, received the spirit stone, and immediately hurried away.

"Stone, since this house is haunted, why do you want to buy it?" Cai'er stood on Shi Mu's shoulder and looked left and right, and said a little timidly.

"It's cheap and secluded!"

"There's a ghost, a ghost, you know?"

"If there is a ghost, catch it, and besides, isn't there still you?"

"What? You want me to help you catch ghosts? I can't do this, I don't do it, I don't do it, I don't do it......"

"That's fine, then let's live with the ghosts, I don't mind anyway. ”

"I think you're crazy!"

Shi Mu was teasing with Cai'er while observing the house.

There is a rumor in this house that many of the people who used to live here have mysteriously disappeared for no reason, and over time, the locals have spread rumors that the house is haunted.

Shi Mu naturally didn't care about this kind of rumors, but because of the color of those rumors, Cai'er, who was not very bold, was frightened. (To be continued.) )
