Perhaps it was because of the sufficient preparations made before coming, the journey from Shanzhai to Shacheng was unusually smooth, and there were almost no unexpected situations, except for the easy handling of a few waves of blind robbers, and there were no other obstacles and delays.

At dusk on the eighth day, the team arrived outside the large oasis where Shacheng was located, and did not rashly step into an unfamiliar area, but just cut wood and stone at the edge of the oasis according to the instructions of the old man in the Taoist robe, and built a camp for temporary rest.

The Gobi Desert outside the Shacheng Oasis is made of large and small stones on the upper floor, and the solid soil on the lower floor, and there are fewer harsh sandstorms.

There was still half a month before the time of the auction of the lava spirit essence, and the team spent three days to rest the camp, and the old man in the Taoist robe asked Liu Yi to stay behind, and he took the red tiger and twenty clever demon kings to Shacheng to inquire about the situation.

By the way, the materials carried on the body were exchanged for the demon crystal for auction, the demon crystal is of great help to the cultivation of the demon king of the Chongmai realm, and the effect on the demon saint is much smaller, not to mention the demon venerable like the old man in the Taoist robe.

For them, the effect of the demon crystal is minimal, it is just a thing used to restore physical strength, and they usually don't bother to collect a large number of treasures, but they have accumulated a lot of various heavenly and earthly treasures, and they are so poor that they are also rich at the same time.

But the Demon Venerable is a rare commodity here after all, like a third-rate race that auctions off the lava spirit essence, the strongest ancestor is only a high-level demon saint, there are very few demon saints in the clan, and the huge number of demon kings is the mainstay of the development of the race.

In order to prevent the uneven valuation of treasures, avoid causing conflicts among bidders, and also to benefit the demon kings in the clan and save the trouble of secondary exchange, the third-rate races that held the auction deliberately used the demon crystal as the quasi-price of the auction.

Items, including the lava spirit essence, can only participate in the auction through the demon crystal, a small number of people are a little dissatisfied with this, but more people are happy to accept it, since the old man in the robe has decided to obtain it through an open auction in the normal way, it is also worth accepting the rules set by others.

The Red Tiger is a genuine peak demon saint, the demon venerable is too shocking in a remote place, and the old man in the Taoist robe also hides his breath to the level of a low-level demon saint, which also allows the red tiger to reduce his breath, so as not to attract the attention of people with a heart.

However, with two Demon Saint beings personally leading the team, and twenty peak Demon Kings following, the strong strength of the entire team has already made the surrounding crowd jealous and respectful of them.

The team carried a lot of supplies, although many people were hot at this, felt their strong breath, and couldn't help but be discouraged, reason overcame greed, no one really had brain cramps, and ran out to die.

Guarding the city gate were the ten demon kings, who paid a lot of money to enter the city, and the team entered the sand city smoothly, and the twenty peak demon kings who followed them, after entering the city, dispersed as planned, mixed into those places that seemed to be crowded, and each inquired about the news.

The old man in the robe and the red tiger took the materials and went directly to the commercial area in the center of the city, the cottage used to have trade in Shacheng, the red tiger was no stranger to this, the number of heavenly treasures was too much, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the two decided to divide it into three days and nine times, and trade in three different chambers of commerce every day.

The first two transactions are no problem, the Chamber of Commerce has an appraiser who specializes in valuation, and the old man in the robe also weighs his own things, and the other party gives the price, if he is satisfied, he will deliver the goods to the demon crystal, and the transaction will be reached.

If you feel that the other party's price is too low, you can also bargain, and then make another discussion, the old man in the robe is rich and in a hurry, if the other party gives a slightly lower price, it doesn't matter, so that the people in the first two chambers of commerce are very happy, and the attitude is good when trading.

The shops in the city are lined up on both sides, the open gate is facing the gate, the old man in the robe has been trading on the same side for the first two times, and finally went to the opposite shop, and the shopkeeper of the opposite shop saw the actions of the two in his eyes, knew his chance, and thought that they were fat sheep to slaughter.

When the third transaction was carried out, the shopkeeper pressed the price of the treasure to a very low price, and the two did not agree to turn around and leave, but the greedy shopkeeper released cruel words, saying that his store had a quasi-second-rate race as the backstage, and he was full of domineering confidence, so that the two of them should not make mistakes.

Chihu didn't speak, Venerable Mei smiled, released his breath slightly, and the shopkeeper knelt on the ground without the slightest resistance, the old man in the Taoist robe picked up a Ganoderma lucidum casually, and asked: "The old man heard that the Lingzhi medicine is extraordinary, but it is worth a hundred demon crystals, I don't know if it's true?"

The most expensive spirit-level herb in the outside world, the price is only a few dozen demon crystals, and the old man in the Taoist robe is obviously a lion with a big mouth, but the shopkeeper is in a cold sweat, nodding his head like a chicken pecking rice, and hurriedly replied: "What the adults said is extremely true!"

Subsequently, the shopkeeper swallowed all the remaining treasures with ten times the demon crystals of the materials, and the savings of half a lifetime were instantly reduced by half, and the whole face was about to wrinkle into a bitter gourd.

Even so, he could only laugh with him, and sent the two out respectfully, before leaving, Chihu, who had been silent for a long time, spoke, leaving a message for him not to make mistakes, so angry that the shopkeeper almost spurted blood, and his face turned purple.

But he still didn't dare to attack, and at the same time knew what Chihu meant, and there was a smile on his face: "Don't worry, my lord, the little one has never seen two adults!"

It wasn't until a long time after the two left, in the closed shop, that they remembered the crackling sound of breaking, and the shopkeeper vented his aggrieved emotions and sat weakly in the broken bottles and cans, his face changed from anger to distortion to calm and numbness.

Lust provoked such an existence, he could only blame himself for being blind, he didn't think about finding a backer to cry, but he knew in his heart that it would not help at all, he was fortunate to have seen the old ancestor of the clan, and the aura exuded by the other party was incomparable even to the old ancestor.

If this matter really comes to the table, the store's reputation is lost, and the closure is a trivial matter, and if you accidentally anger the existence and implicate the backer behind it, it will be a real disaster.

Chihu looked at the shop at the entrance of the street, but he didn't see anyone come out to ventilate, and the closed shop also reopened to continue trading, as if nothing had happened, and the fat figure of the shopkeeper appeared in sight, and he slowly retreated......

The night fell quickly, the world fell into darkness, the two found an ordinary inn in the city, paid the rent for three days, and at night there were constantly scattered demon kings to come to the door to inform them of the news they had found.

During the day, they went out to trade materials, sorted out the collected information at night, made all kinds of proper plans, and the three days ended quickly, and all the materials brought were replaced with demon crystals, and the team gathered again, ready to leave Sand City, return to the station, and wait for the auction to open.

Although the old man in the Taoist robe acted in a low-key manner, and he would choose different shops for the replacement of materials, the frequent entry and exit of the Chamber of Commerce still attracted the attention of people with a heart, and when he left Shacheng, he was attacked by a team of masked people.

There are about fifty masked people, all of them are demon kings of the Chongmai realm, and the leader of the team is a hidden demon saint, if it is really replaced by a team led by two demon saints, it will definitely suffer heavy losses in the general sense, but it is a pity that those people miscalculated the opponent.

The dense woods at the edge of the oasis, twenty-two people when they entered, twenty-one people when they came out, and the fifty people who were ambushed inside all disappeared, and there was only one high-level demon king in the team, who was accidentally hit by a poisoned arrow and died on the spot, and the two demon kings were slightly injured.

Returning safely to the camp outside the oasis, the old man in the robe informed the three demon saints who stayed behind of the news collected on this trip, in addition to the massive demon crystals that were traded, the biggest gain from this trip to Sand City was these seemingly inconspicuous news.

Including the specific time of the auction of the lava spirit essence, the specific information of the main participants, the strength of their respective net worth, the tricky bandit fanatics nearby, the movements of the Venerable who sits in Sand City, and even the more advantageous fire attribute cultivators, and so on.

From this chaotic information, the old man in the robe can eliminate the indiscriminate ones, find the competitors who really threaten him, and formulate corresponding solutions, make follow-up layouts, and avoid unexpected situations.
