The sun was thin, and dusk was approaching, and in the sound of the teahouse servant, Gu Cheng walked out of the tea pavilion.

Of course, he was alone.

Walking to the door, he involuntarily stopped, turned around at the same time, looked back at the three-story teahouse again, and then couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

"I really didn't expect it, hehe......"

Gu Cheng really didn't expect it, on the one hand, he didn't expect that this so-called "old man" would be Ao Jiaojiao, and on the other hand, he didn't expect that he finally agreed to Ao Jiaojiao's request for cooperation, which is really ...... It was completely unexpected.

Before an hour, who told him that he would cooperate with Ao Jiaojiao, Gu Cheng would definitely scoff, with the relationship between him and Ao Jiaojiao, if he didn't fight immediately, it would be a strange thing, let alone work together.

But in fact, he has indeed agreed to cooperate with Ao Jiaojiao now.

It's not because I'm afraid of Ao Jiaojiao, it's not because I have no other choice, but because Ao Jiaojiao's conditions he really can't refuse.

Fire Spirit Bead, Fire Treasure Essence, if he can get his hands on it, it will play a vital role in his future development, not to mention the rest, just the effect of assisting cultivation, it can be compared with the Purple Gold Furnace mastered by the Lord of Purple Mountain, or even better, of course, the role of Fire Spirit Bead is far more than that.

Just as Ao Jiaojiao has always been persistent in the water spirit bead in Gu Cheng's hand, Gu Cheng will not give up easily when he learns the news of the fire spirit bead.

Of course, it's not just Gu Cheng, any fire cultivator with a little knowledge, in the face of such a situation, he will definitely make the same choice as Gu Cheng.

"Fire Spirit Bead, Nine Hidden Mountains. Unexpectedly, the Fire Spirit Bead was hidden in the deepest part of the Nine Shadows Mountain. ”

"I originally planned to go to the Nine Shadows Mountain to collect experience, but now that I'm here, it's really a bit too coincidental...... Perhaps, with a bit of luck, the two goals can be accomplished together. ”

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

Experience points that can be upgraded to the skill level. He naturally had to take the time to collect it, and the Fire Spirit Bead, he couldn't give up either, if the two could be done together, it was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

"And with Ao Jiaojiao working together, maybe the process is ...... It will go a little smoother than what I originally planned, and Ao Jiaojiao is also a strong person in the infant transition period......"

Thinking of this situation, Gu Cheng's mind was working, and he couldn't help but start thinking about it. How to maximize the use value of Ao Jiaojiao, after all, there are not many such opportunities.

If it was an ordinary situation, Gu Cheng naturally didn't dare to do this, and he didn't even dare to get too close to Ao Jiaojiao.

An infant transformation powerhouse, it is not something he can deal with now, if Ao Jiaojiao suddenly bursts out, he may not be able to resist it, or even run away. There are not necessarily opportunities.

Although he escaped successfully in the first two times, he even took Ao Jiaojiao with him. It also brought Ao Jiaojiao an unfathomable feeling, but Gu Cheng knew very well in his heart that he was just lucky the first two times, if the same situation happened again, even if the rabbit in the water spirit bead came out to help, he might not be able to take advantage of anything.

But now it's a different story. The two had already signed the contract, and feeling the power of the contract faintly surging in the dantian, Gu Cheng could be completely relieved that Ao Jiaojiao would not do anything to him until the transaction was completed.

Because once the contract is made, it acts on both parties. Gu Cheng is limited by the power of the contract, and Ao Jiaojiao is the same, if anyone violates it halfway, no one can resist the power of the contract of the riot.

This is the domineering and mysterious power of the contract scroll, and it is also the fundamental reason why Gu Cheng can rest assured that he can cooperate with Ao Jiaojiao.

The only pity is that this kind of contract scroll is too rare, and there is no price, otherwise, Gu Cheng really wants to get a few in his hands, even if he can't use it now, he can keep it for later use.

"Forget it, I don't want to."

"While it's still dark, go to the shops in the city and buy some spare things by the way."

Gu Cheng quickly left the Xiangming Pavilion and walked towards the street without looking back.

And Ao Jiaojiao stood in front of the window of the box on the second floor, and saw Gu Cheng's figure disappearing into the flow of people, she held the purple sand tea cup, took a shallow sip of tea, and her moving eyes narrowed slightly.

I just don't know if I'm sighing at the fragrance of the tea, or if it's because of something else......

……

Half Moon Shop

Looking at the name of the plaque hanging on the shop in front of him, Gu Cheng was slightly stunned.

But soon, he recalled that this Half Moon Shop seemed to be the unified name of the Half Moon Merchant Alliance's store.

Although the Half Moon Business Alliance is not a super power, nor is it a prominent existence like the Moon Tower, its overall strength is also a bit extraordinary, especially in terms of doing business, and it can even be said to be one of the most well-known commercial institutions in the Central Plains.

Among them, not only many pure merchants, but also many sectarian forces that are not weak, although the organizational composition of the Half Moon Business Alliance is not strict, and the members are relatively scattered and messy, but the overall influence is quite not low, and even has begun to spread to areas outside the Central Plains, and the annual profit from earning spirit stones is also an astonishing figure.

In the Central Plains, almost as long as the city is a little larger, you can see the shops of the Half Moon Business Alliance, and Maple Forest City is naturally no exception.

Compared with those ordinary individual shops, the stores of the Half Moon Business Alliance are not only much larger, but also more formal in other aspects, at least there are many fewer cases of fake or cheating.

Gu Cheng thought about it, and without hesitation, he stepped in.

The things he wants are not necessarily available in ordinary small shops, but large shops like the Half Moon Shop should have them in stock.

"Welcome."

"What do you need?"

As soon as Gu Cheng stepped into the door of the store, a young maid with a beautiful figure greeted him with a smile.

Her cultivation is not high, she is only in the Qi refining stage, but she is obviously professionally trained, and she has a good set of treating people and things, with a sweet smile, and a posture above the horizontal line. The first impression is quite good, and if you change to a young person who is not deeply involved in the world, you may be fascinated at the first sight.

I have to say that the Half Moon Business Alliance can expand so quickly, and it does have some ability.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Gu Cheng.

"Take me up to the second floor."

Gu Cheng was familiar with the rules of the Half Moon Shop. There was no nonsense, so he just opened his mouth directly.

Hearing his words, the young maid was slightly stunned at first, and then her eyes couldn't help but light up.

Gu Cheng can say this, which means that he is a regular customer.

The scale of the half-moon shop is so large, the number of stores cannot be counted, naturally there is a corresponding set of rules, the purchase and sale of ordinary goods are on the first floor, and you can go up to the second floor. Either it is to trade precious things, or it is a large amount of trading, in layman's terms, small transactions are on the first floor, and large transactions are eligible to go up to the second floor.

Since Gu Cheng took the initiative to say so, the young maid naturally wouldn't allow it, and immediately said respectfully, "Please go this way, senior." ”

Between words. Her attitude was noticeably more respectful and humble.

If you want to be honored, you must either have strength. Either there is money, this is the same principle no matter what world it is, and the capable and the rich will enjoy certain preferential treatment.

Led by the young maid, Gu Cheng passed the stairs on the left. Soon came to the second floor.

At this time, in addition to the people of several shops on the second floor, there was also a customer who was trading.

It was a young man in a short shirt.

This person's breath is very cold, and his expression is quite indifferent, which is even more noticeable. He has only one eye open, but the other eye is blind, and perhaps because of this, he feels quite unapproachable, even if he is far away, you can feel his indifference.

Beside him, there was a demon wolf with white hair lying on the ground, obviously the demon pet of this one-eyed young man, full of demonic energy, even if it was deliberately restrained, it still gave people a very dangerous feeling, it turned its head to look at Gu Cheng, which actually made Gu Cheng a little creepy, as for the young maid who was in front, she couldn't help but scream, obviously startled.

"What are you doing!"

"Don't disturb the guests, don't get out of here!"

Hearing her scream, an old woman sitting on the second floor suddenly looked cold, and immediately scolded in a deep voice.

Her status is obviously not low, hearing her scolding, the young maid's pretty face turned white in an instant, she didn't dare to hesitate, immediately apologized again and again, and at the same time retreated downstairs in a hurry.

Even Gu Cheng, a guest, she didn't have time to take care of it.

"Sorry to disturb you." The old woman stepped forward and apologized to Gu Cheng and the one-eyed young man.

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Cheng waved his hand and didn't care.

As for the one-eyed young man, he didn't even raise his head.

Gu Cheng couldn't help but glance at the white demon wolf again, if he hadn't misjudged, the cultivation strength of this white demon wolf should have been about to break through the realm of the transformation stage, and in terms of the cultivation level of a human cultivator, it would be the peak realm of Jindan, which was much higher than Gu Cheng's cultivation.

As for the one-eyed young man, although Gu Cheng couldn't completely see his depth, but the demon pets all had cultivation that was close to the transformation stage, and it was naturally impossible for him to be worse as the master, and it was very likely that he would ...... It has broken through the realm of infantile mutation.

An infant transformation monk was nothing in the Central Plains, but this one-eyed young man gave Gu Cheng a rather familiar feeling, as if he was someone he had known before, of course, not someone he knew in this world, but someone he had known in the game in his previous life.

But after thinking about it for a while, Gu Cheng didn't have a clue, after all, he had seen so many people in his previous life, and after such a long time, he couldn't remember them all.

"Strange."

Gu Cheng frowned slightly.

And at this time, the one-eyed young man had already completed the transaction, and a hoarse voice sounded,

"Let's go."

He patted the white demon wolf's head and gave a faint order, and then, one by one, the wolf walked downstairs like this.

During the whole process, he didn't look at Gu Cheng at all, as if Gu Cheng didn't exist at all......

"Who is he?"

Gu Cheng turned to the old woman and asked.

The old woman was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect Gu Cheng to ask such a question, she hesitated for a moment, but she still replied, "An official disciple of the Battle Demon Palace." ”

The name of the trader cannot be disclosed, this is the rule of Half Moon Building.

It's just that Gu Cheng stood aside and asked in person, and she couldn't be perfunctory, so she reluctantly said so much.

However, this is enough for Gu Cheng.

"It turned out to be him!"

Gu Cheng had already remembered who this one-eyed young man was, the official disciple of the War Demon Palace, he may not be too famous now, but in a few decades, he would become one of the core disciples of the Battle Demon Palace, and he had a lot of fame in the entire Central Plains, maybe not a Tianjiao figure, but it was definitely not much worse.

Of course, not only his own fame, but also his demon wolf pet beast is also not small.

"How did he end up here......"

Thinking of this question, Gu Cheng couldn't help frowning slightly, as far as he knew, Fenglin City was not the active territory of the Battle Demon Palace.

"What do guests need?"

The old woman naturally didn't know what Gu Cheng was thinking, so she quickly asked.

She is a businessman, doing business is what she cares about, and the rest is none of her business.

Gu Cheng suddenly woke up.

This is the Half Moon Shop, and he came here to buy things.

"Jian Yuan Crystal, I don't know if your store has stock?" Gu Cheng asked straight to the point.

"Sword Yuan Crystal?"

The old woman seemed a little surprised, but it was only a flash, and soon she collected her expression well, and asked with a smile, "We not only have Sword Yuan Crystals in our store, but also upper, middle, and lower qualities, I don't know which one the guests need?" ”

"Sure enough, it's a half-moon shop, what is the price of a high-quality sword yuan spar?"

Hearing the other party's words, Gu Cheng couldn't help but praise.

"One piece of ten thousand spirit stones." The old woman quickly quoted a price that made Gu Cheng feel painful too.

As if she was afraid that Gu Cheng would misunderstand that their shop was too dark, she immediately explained, "This top-grade Sword Yuan Crystal comes from the Ruthless Sword Cliff, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed, although a piece of ten thousand spirit stones is not cheap, it is not expensive." ”

"It turned out to be a product of the Ruthless Sword Cliff, so it's really not expensive." Gu Cheng nodded slightly, the Ruthless Sword Cliff is the number one sword sect in the mainland, and the Sword Yuan Crystal they produce is almost synonymous with good quality.

Gu Cheng thought for a moment and said directly, "Bring me two hundred yuan." ”

As he spoke, Gu Cheng directly took out two million spirit stones, of course, in exchange for high-grade spirit stones, it was only two hundred pieces, and it was not a lot to pile up on the table.

The five million spirit stones that he had just obtained from Ao Jiaojiao were reduced by nearly half all at once. (To be continued......)
