Chapter 382: Quid pro quo

"Brother Shi, good news!" Yu Yi walked into the room and said with a little excitement.

"But there's news of the lava pool?" Shi Mu asked.

"I inquired, there is currently no extra lava pool for rent in the City Lord's Mansion, but I asked the deacon of the Immortal Fire Residence in the Red Flame Hall today, among the dozen or so lava pools under the name of the Immortal Fire Residence, one of them has not been built into a refining room because of the unstable underground fire veins, and it is currently vacant. Yu Yi continued.

"Is this lava pool in the Immortal Fire Residence considered renting it out?" Shi Mu's eyes lit up and he asked.

The deacon said it was okay, but in exchange, they had to meet one condition. Yu Yi said.

"What conditions, let's hear it. Shi Mu asked, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It is a good thing to have conditions, so that there will be a breakthrough.

"I need a demon pill of a fire-crowned demon snake. Yu Yi hesitated for a moment and said.

"Fire-crowned demon snake?" Shi Mu was stunned, he had never heard of this kind of demon beast.

"This is a kind of earth-level demon beast entrenched in the depths of a hundred thousand volcanoes, mainly because the valley where it is entrenched is often filled with fire miasma, and ordinary people can't approach it at all. However, Brother Shi, you have a way to restrain the fire miasma poisonous mist, and there should be no problem in sneaking into the fire miasma valley. Yu Yi said.

Shi Mu nodded slowly, with his left hand, the fire miasma poisonous mist was not much of a threat to him, but this kind of environment must be beneficial to the fire attribute demon beast, but be careful yourself, it should not be a problem to find a fire-crowned demon snake in the early stage of the ground level.

"Why do the people of the Immortal Fire Residence want the demon pill of the Fire-crowned Demon Snake to do?" Shi Mu groaned for a moment and asked.

"This Brother Shi can rest assured, in fact, this matter is not a secret in Chiyan City, the son of Mr. Gongxi of the Immortal Fire Residence was seriously ill some time ago, and he needs a demon pill of a powerful demon beast in a hundred thousand volcanoes as a medicine to survive. The Immortal Fire Residence had already offered a reward a few months ago, and anyone who could get this demon pill could get the heavy reward of the Immortal Fire Residence. I also felt that with Brother Shi's strength, he should be able to obtain the demon pill of the fire-crowned demon snake, so I went to ask the deacon of the Immortal Fire Residence about renting the lava pool. Yu Yi seemed to see Shi Mu's concerns and said.

"I see, for my sake, I bothered Brother Yu. When Shi Mu heard this, his face softened.

"Brother Shi is polite. Yu Yi hurriedly waved his hand.

"However, this matter is very important, and I don't believe Brother Yu, but I want to talk to the people of Immortal Fire Residence directly. Shi Mu said.

"Of course, since Brother Shi intends to take on this task, I will immediately contact the people of the Immortal Fire Residence. Yu Yi said with a happy face, stood up, and walked out again.

"Stone, this Yu Yi is really enthusiastic about your affairs. Watching Yu Yi's figure walk out of the courtyard, Cai'er said pointedly.

"Maybe he'll get some benefit from this task if I complete it, but it doesn't matter, as long as I can successfully rent a lava pool, it's a small matter. Shi Mu said.

Shi Mu said, turned over his hand and took out the book just now, and continued to flip through it.

......

Early in the morning of the second day, Shi Mu and Yu Yi came to a bustling street in the inner city.

The streets are lined with tall shops and pedestrians, in front of a five-storey loft building.

The attic building has red tiles and white walls, the door is open, the entrance hall is wide, it looks very atmospheric, and there is a large plaque with gold characters on a black background hanging on the door, which reads "Xianhuoju" three big characters.

On this bustling street, this Xianhuoju shop also has a sense of standing out from the crowd.

Shi Mu and Yu Yi paused at the door for a moment, and then walked in.

In the attic is a large hall, the area is very wide, the length and width are twenty or thirty zhang, and there are rows of white jade shelves placed in it, on which are placed all kinds of flashing weapons, there are hundreds of pieces, each of them is a magic weapon, it seems that they are all intermediate level or above.

Business in the store is booming, and there is a Tsing Yi attendant standing next to each shelf, explaining the performance of various magic weapons on the shelf.

Shi Mu took a breath of cool air, and secretly sighed in his heart that the Immortal Fire Residence was very generous.

"Two seniors, but what kind of magic weapon do you want? A Tsing Yi attendant walked over with a smile on his face.

"We're not here to buy weapons. Yu Yi said, took out a red jade talisman from his arms, and waved it.

"It turns out that the distinguished guests have arrived, so please come with me. Seeing this, the Tsing Yi attendant said respectfully, and led the two of them upstairs.

On the second floor is a smaller exhibition hall, and there are also several wooden shelves in it, but these wooden shelves are shrouded in the formation prohibition, and there are one spirit weapon after another, and the number is enough to look like twenty or thirty pieces.

In the exhibition hall, there are four or five people walking inside and watching, and from the demeanor and behavior of these people, it can be seen that the identity is not ordinary.

Shi Mu's heart moved, and he had a new understanding of the strength of the Immortal Fire Residence.

The three of them did not linger on the second floor, but walked directly towards the third floor and came to a small independent side hall.

"Wait a minute, two distinguished guests. The Tsing Yi attendant served a cup of spiritual tea to the two of them and walked out quickly.

Shi Mu and Yu Yi sat silently and did not speak.

A moment later, the door to the side hall was pushed open, and an old man in black walked in.

This man looked to be fifty or sixty years old, and although his face was a little wrinkled, his body looked extremely tough, his hands and feet were thick, and his palms seemed to be a little yellowish because he was often close to the fire.

The black-robed old man stood straight, his eyes were sharp, and the aura he exuded was like a ground-level existence.

The black-robed old man was also followed by a middle-aged man in a red robe, who was the deacon of the Immortal Fire Residence who was in the Red Flame Hall yesterday.

"Master Gongxi!Deacon Wan!" Yu Yi saw the black-robed old man walk in, and hurriedly stood up, with a respectful look on his face.

Shi Mu also stood up and looked at the black-robed old man.

The black-robed old man glanced at Yu Yi, then looked away, fell on Shi Mu, looked up and down, and frowned.

"This is the candidate you told me? Only the cultivation of the late stage of the congenital stage, how can it be successful!Yu boy, are you looking for the old man to be happy?" The old man in the black robe looked at the middle-aged man in the red robe, and his voice was slightly deep.

The red-robed middle-aged man looked at Shi Mu, and was also a little annoyed in his heart, his eyes glared at Yu Yi, and he asked:

"Brother Yu, what's going on? Didn't you say yesterday that you found a master, and you are fifty percent sure that you can get the demon pill of the Firecrown Demon Snake?"

"How dare you talk nonsense, this Shi Daoyou is a friend of Xia, although his cultivation is only in the late stage of congenital, but his strength is strong, and he saw it with his own eyes yesterday, he easily killed a red-winged tiger demon single-handedly. Moreover, Brother Shi still has the means to restrain the fire miasma and poisonous mist, and he will definitely be able to successfully complete the task. Yu Yi hurriedly said.

"Killed the Red Winged Tiger Demon!" Hearing this, the black-robed old man and the red-robed middle-aged man glanced at each other.

"This fellow Daoist, what can I prove?" the red-robed middle-aged man's gaze at Shi Mu changed a little and asked.

Shi Mu didn't speak, and with a wave of his hand, a fist-sized crimson demon pill appeared in front of him, exuding bursts of powerful vitality fluctuations, which was the demon pill of the Red Winged Tiger Demon.

The faces of the two black-robed old men changed slightly, but the frowning brows of the black-robed old man did not loosen.

"Even if there is a demon pill, it can't prove that it was killed by Your Excellency. The black-robed old man asked.

Shi Mu chuckled, and his mind moved, stimulating the totemic power in his body, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

The breath is so strong that it has reached the level of the ground level.

"Disrespectful, it turns out that Your Excellency is also a ground level existence, and the old man has lost his eyes. The casual look on the face of the black-robed old man suddenly disappeared, and he arched his hand.

Yu Yi was dumbfounded, looking at Shi Mu blankly.

Shi Mu has shocked him too much in the past few days, but he has hidden his strength before.

"Mr. Gongxi is polite, he is used to restraining his breath on weekdays, please don't be surprised. Shi Mu said.

"Hehe, this is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it. The black-robed old man waved his hand and said.

"However, Shi Daoyou's secret technique of concealing his aura is really clever, and the old man's power of induction is not weak, but he didn't notice it at all. The black-robed old man then glanced deeply at Shi Mu and said.

"Mr. Gongsai has won the award. Now that we have met Master Gongxi's request, let's talk about the specific matters of the mission, since Your Excellency wants to hunt down the fire-crowned demon snake, I don't know if there is a clue to this beast?" Shi Mu smiled and said.

"Of course. The black-robed old man hurriedly said and glanced at the red-robed middle-aged man.

The latter hurriedly agreed, took out a piece of jade slip from his arms, and handed it to Shi Mu.

"The old man has been sending people to explore the 100,000 volcanoes these days, and last month he finally found a fire-crowned demon snake in an early stage of the earth in a fire miasma valley. The old man has already sent several batches of masters before and after, but this snake is quite cunning, and because of the fire miasma, none of them succeeded, and several Taoist friends fell inside. The black-robed old man sighed.

Shi Mu raised his eyebrows, took the jade slip, and pasted it on his forehead, and his divine sense penetrated into it.

In the jade slip is a map of 100,000 volcanoes, which indicates a place.

Shi Mu has studied a lot of information about the 100,000 volcanoes in the past two days, and the map of the 100,000 volcanoes has naturally been seen, this location is a place thousands of miles away from Chiyan City, and it is already a place deep in the 100,000 volcanoes, thanks to this Gongxi master being able to find there.

"Now that I know the location, I will go here, and I will definitely come back with the demon pill of the fire-crowned demon snake in a week. Shi Mu put away the jade slip and said.

"If Shi Daoyou can really bring back the Demon Pill, the old man will definitely abide by the agreement and rent a lava pool under the Immortal Fire Residence to Daoyou for five years, and the rent will only be half of it. The black-robed old man's eyes showed a glint of hope, and he said with a solemn expression.

"Okay, that's a deal. Shi Mu's eyes were happy and he said.

Shi Mu quickly said goodbye and left, and walked out of the Immortal Fire Residence with Yu Yi.

"Brother Yu, I'm going to set off here, I've bothered you for the past two days. Walking out of the Immortal Fire Residence, Shi Mu said to Yu Yi.

"Stone ...... Seniors don't have to be polite, what they are doing is just some small things that lead the bridge, so why worry about it. Yu Yi said respectfully.

"Brother Yu, you and I are old acquaintances, so you don't have to see each other like this. Shi Mu said. (To be continued.) )
