Half a month later.

Under the blue night, the stars are like night pearls, inlaid in the sky and shining.

On the eastern edge of the Guzhou Plain, in front of a slope hundreds of miles away from the Terran station, a pale cyan light galloped in, and then slowly landed.

This grassy slope is only a radius of dozens of zhang in size, the aura is thin and pitiful, except for a small piece of grass and trees, there are bare gray rocks, it is really a landform that can be seen everywhere on the plain.

"Senior Xue, this is where the secret city is located."

After the light dissipated, a thin old man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes was revealed, and pointed to the small hillside, and said in a respectful tone.

"Your master is really cautious enough to set the place of the exchange meeting in such a remote place."

The person who said this was beside the old man, a blue-robed male cultivator with an ordinary face.

And the old man just laughed dryly and said: "The master likes to be clean on weekdays, if it weren't for the need to exchange for some resources this time, he wouldn't have bothered the seniors to come." ”

"Who dares not to give Master Ke's face?"

The blue-robed male cultivator smiled and groaned.

He is none other than Chen Ping, who has already participated in the medium-sized auction.

More than ten days ago, he changed his appearance and assumed the pseudonym of Monk Xue, and frequently made a move at the auction to buy the six fourth-order ores that appeared in the field.

At the end of the scene, a monk from the late Yuan Dan period took the initiative to find him.

After this person reported to his home, Chen Ping was overjoyed.

The famous prospecting master in the sea area of Jianding Sect, Ke Zifeng.

Half of the high-grade ore in this auction was consigned by him.

Ke Zifengguan Chen Ping was very interested in high-grade ores, so he invited him to participate in the exchange meeting organized by a private organization, and the threshold was at least Yuan Dan Monk.

Chen Ping, who was eager to take out the spirit of the fire element from the golden bead, did not hesitate and agreed directly.

After waiting for a while, he met the usher at the agreed place.

That is, the old man in front of him.

The old man's full name is Ke Ji, and he is one of Ke Zifeng's domestic servants.

Speaking of which, although Ke Zifeng is a casual cultivator, he has raised a group of men and women, old and young slaves.

This kind of slave keeping is relatively rare.

According to the grapevine, before Ke Zifeng set foot on the fairy road, he was a young master from a large family in the secular world.

When he was fourteen or five years old, he was detected by the immortal master and brought into the cultivation world, so he also retained part of the style of the mortal world.

"Please come with the old slave."

At this moment, Koji flew around the hillside and fell towards a pile of gray rubble.

Chen Ping, who was following him, saw this, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes.

If he wasn't mistaken, there were no traces of prohibitions or formations around here.

"Knock Knock"

Kogi was already standing on a boulder, and struck it several times in a certain position.

"Squeak"

A moment later, the boulder suddenly cracked to both sides, revealing a black hole that was about to be a foot in size.

"Senior Xue, please!"

Kirgi jumped down first, turned around and shouted hello.

Chen Ping nodded indifferently, and the person jumped in.

He had already swept around in advance with his divine sense.

There were only a dozen Yuan Dan monks in the underground hall, as well as seven or eight Zhuji, and there was nothing that could threaten him.

Inside the entrance of the cave, a jade staircase that sloped down was excavated, which was actually made of third-order ore.

Ke Zifeng is worthy of the name of the master of ore seeking, and the small venue is arranged in a very luxurious way.

Next to the stairs, there was also a young maid with a convex and backward curve, who also had a cultivation in the middle of foundation building.

"Welcome seniors to my master's exchange party, I hope that seniors can buy what they need in it."

As soon as the proud maid saw Chen Ping coming in, she immediately said with a smile, showing neither humility nor arrogance.

Chen Ping nodded slightly carelessly, and took the lead to walk down.

In order to prevent the demon beasts from discovering the abnormal aura here, there was no formation guard here, but an underground hall was simply opened.

Ke Zifeng's trick went the other way, and the effect seemed to be good.

After walking a short distance along the stairs, Chen Ping's eyes lit up.

Inside is a square hall, and in the center is a large hollow round table five feet long.

Twenty thick stone chairs were scattered around the table.

At present, most of the chairs are already occupied by monks.

After a little silence, Chen Ping strode over to an empty stone chair and sat down steadily.

"Xue Daoyou can come, the old man is not very happy."

Above, an old Taoist with a sallow face and dressed in Confucian clothes said to Chen Ping, and his tone was full of kindness.

"Master Ke will take a few more pieces of high-grade ore later, Xue has recently prepared to smelt a few Dao weapons, and he is worried about the problem of materials."

Chen Ping arched his hand over there and replied with a single thought.

This person is the organizer of this exchange meeting, prospector Ke Zifeng.

And the identity he fabricated for himself was, of course, a refiner living in seclusion in a small corner of the Inland Sea.

Otherwise, the acquisition of various high-grade ores for no reason is very easy to make people suspicious.

"Hehe, Daoist friends will prepare enough spirit stones."

Ke Zifeng raised his eyebrows lightly and said confidently.

"Master Ke, just let the horse come."

Seeing him look so confident, Chen Ping's mood also relaxed, and he joked.

There were still two drops of ore essence left in the golden bead space, plus the six ores in the storage ring, he still had to buy at least twelve.

Because it would take five fourth-order ores to take out one Fire Element Spirit, four Fire Element Spirits would be a full twenty pieces.

If you can, it's best to buy an extra piece and keep it in the gold bead space so that you can enter and exit at any time.

Looting thirteen pieces of fourth-order ore on Ke Zifeng's body was Chen Ping's main target.

"The old man liked the rabbit when he was young, but when he was older, he saw it, but there was no difference."

Ke Zifeng's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, as if he was in a serious and joking way.

"Master Ke has rich experience, and Xue admires it."

Looking at this person's old appearance, Chen Ping felt a chill rise from behind him.

is worthy of being a young master who grew up in a wealthy family in the mortal world, and he can get involved in any weird hobbies.

After the two broke off chatting, Chen Ping looked around at the others on the stone chair quietly.

The dozen or so Yuan Dan who were sitting naturally also looked at him.

Although they felt that Chen Ping's face was very unfamiliar, no one showed a strange expression.

Because almost all the cultivators used their means to cover up their true faces.

However, under Chen Ping's divine sense, it can be broken at a glance, and there is no difference between covering his ears and stealing the bell.

There were only five people who caught his attention.

Including four Yuan Dan Dzogchen monks, and a fake Dan monk sitting on Ke Zifeng's left hand side, wrapped in a cloud of pale green mist.

This graceful and elegant beautiful woman with a good face is Pan Qianning, one of the seven false pills in Yanning City.

"Ke Daoyou, when will the exchange start?"

Looking up at the entrance of the passage, Pan Qianning frowned and asked.

"I've been tired of waiting for a long time, and the last Taoist friend has not arrived, and if he hasn't shown up after half a pillar of incense, the old man will seal the entrance."

Ke Zifeng hugged his fists and said with a smile.

He is the initiator of the exchange meeting, so he naturally knows the identity of the woman, so he does not dare to slack off in the slightest.

"It doesn't matter."

Pan Qianning is not salty or light.

Half a pillar of incense, time flies.

Chen Ping's expression moved, and he glanced up.

I saw a flash of inspiration in the grassland in the distance, and a frightening storm shot out, and after a while, it reached the sky above the hillside, and one fell in a circle.

"I'm sorry, Ban was entangled by a group of demon beasts on the road, and I was a step late, I hope you don't feel surprised."

The light shot straight into the hall from the passage, and after a while, an old man in a yellow robe with a fairy wind appeared in front of the round table, arching his hands at everyone with an apologetic expression.

"Where don't we meet in life, it really is!"

Seeing the old man in the yellow robe who was belated, Chen Ping couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth, and suddenly became smiling.

Isn't this person the loose cultivator of the Smelting Fire Alliance's sea area, Ban Tiande, who once worked with him to clear the spider demon lair!

Decades have passed, and Ban Tiande's cultivation has also improved from the middle of Yuandan to the late Yuandan period.

Although it can't be compared to him, it belongs to the normal advanced speed.

After the two split the treasure at that time, he also invited Ban Tiande to merge the spiritual veins for Haichang Island.

But Ban Tiande has never appeared, no matter what the reason is, the unhappiness in Chen Ping's heart has never decreased by half a point.

"Ban Daoyou, please take a seat!"

Ke Zifeng motioned to the servants to close the passage, pointed to a few empty seats, and said with a smile.

Looking around, Ban Tiande quickly chose a location.

And the monk seated to his left was Chen Ping, whose face did not change.
