Chapter 991: Blackstone Castle
"Hey, it's here, come down!"
Underneath the circular stone platform, two guards of the Jindan period were shouting at me.
I jumped off the round platform and looked out at the black continent around me.
Blackstone Fort is exactly what its name suggests.
As far as the eye could see, there were black mounds and brown rocks, and the wind blew through the black sand, and the miasma floated up into clouds and mist, obscuring the sun.
The monks and ordinary people who walked among them wore coarse cloth clothes and wrapped thick scarves around their heads to avoid inhaling sand and dust.
I walked aimlessly through the streets of Blackstone Fort, flanked by low, sturdy buildings, as if to protect myself from the endless wind and sand.
The doors and windows of the shop were tightly closed, and only a faint light came through the cracks of the doors, making the whole Blackstone Fort even more depressing.
It's not an exaggeration to describe such a strange place as poor.
I don't understand, why do these monks have to gather in a dead place of black sand if they don't want to put the vast land of the immortal realm.
No matter, I'll find Murphy first, and then I'll take her out of this hellish place.
I took out the compass from the space inside my body and threw a spell into it, tracking Murphy's breath.
The entire Black Stone Fort occupies a radius of thousands of miles.
But anyone who is Murphy within these thousands of miles can be searched by the compass.
The compass spun in a circle, and suddenly the hands began to tremble violently, and exploded into pieces with a thud.
The explosion sounded, and the people walking on the street looked at me in unison.
I embarrassedly picked up the debris on the ground and hurried away with my head down.
The geomagnetic field near Fort Blackstone is too strong for the compass to be used properly.
This sucks.
The compass could not pinpoint Murphy, and the next time he used the jade slip to communicate, he would have to wait at least a month.
A month is not a long time, but the spiritual power in the Black Stone Fort is extremely chaotic, and ordinary monks can't absorb it at all.
Murphy is a newcomer again, not to mention that his cultivation is shallow, and he wants to leave words on the communication jade slip, which also consumes spiritual power.
I estimated that the string of texts she sent me last time would have to accumulate spiritual power for a long time.
Instead of waiting for her to contact me, I took the initiative to find someone.
I took out my pen and paper, drew a portrait of Murphy, and after some inquiry, I arrived at a shop on Fort Blackstone, directly across from me.
The shop is not large, there are two rooms in total, and there is a plaque hanging at the door "Bao Inquire".
The door was wide open, and a middle-aged man in his thirties stood in front of the counter.
He was dressed in a gray robe, his face was thin, and his eyes were dripping and straight, revealing a sense of cleverness.
Seeing me walk into the store, the man greeted me with a smile, "Objective, are you inquiring about things, or are you here to sell information?"
"Inquire about things."
The man stretched out his hand, "No matter what you ask, a piece of the lower grade spirit crystal will speak."
Before he opened his mouth to ask for money, this guy is really good at business.
I pulled out a low-grade spirit crystal and slapped it on the table along with Murphy's portrait.
"I'm looking for this woman named Murphy. She's at Blackstone Castle, but she doesn't know where to go."
Suddenly, the man's expression was a little strange.
"This man is your friend?"
I said, "Yes. As long as you can find someone, the price is negotiable."
The boss pondered for a moment, looked around at no one, and then lowered his voice and said, "For the sake of your payment, I will tell you something fatal."
"The Murphy you are looking for, the young son of the Chen family in the west of the city, who killed the young son of the Chen family in the west of the city, is now on the run."
"Chen Wenji, the master of the Chen family, spent ten high-grade spirit crystals with me to capture Murphy."
"Just providing information about Murphy's escape is worth a medium-grade spirit crystal."
I chuckled in my heart.
Murphy, how come this guy just arrived in the fairy world and started to cause trouble!
I'm in a hurry
"How's she doing?" he asked. Are you hurt?"
The boss shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific situation."
"However, she was able to escape successfully under the pursuit of the Chen family, and there is a high probability that she was not seriously injured."
I hurriedly asked, "What is the origin of this Chen family?"
I've just dealt with the Master of Dustless, and I still have lingering palpitations.
In case this Chen family is also at the level of a dustless master, I will have to accompany Murphy to play again.
The boss held out his hand again, "You've already asked about Murphy."
"If you want to inquire about the Chen family, you have to pay another price."
I happily threw down two pieces of low-grade spirit crystals, "Explain things clearly, your benefits are indispensable."
The boss was overjoyed, and reached out to grab the two spirit crystals on the table, "You're really asking the right person. I know all too well about the Chen family."
"The Chen family is a big family that has been inherited for 500 years. The head of the family, Chen Wenji. He is a strong man in the middle of the Yuan Infant."
"The young son who was killed by Murphy was a monk in the early days of Jindan."
"It's strange to say, when Murphy first came to Blackstone Castle, he didn't even have the Jindan realm, how did he escape after killing someone......
My heart was pounded again.
Murphy is a calm and thoughtful man, and he has never liked to be overbearing.
When she first arrived, she killed a Jindan monk and fled in an unfamiliar place, which was definitely not in line with her style.
I guess she must have been humiliated by the Chen family!
I held back the anger in my chest, gritted my teeth and asked, "How did Murphy and the Chen family end up with a feud?"
The boss said with a little regret, "I really don't know about this."
"That's all I know, I suggest you listen to it, don't go to the trouble of the Chen family."
"The Chen family is a Yuan Infant Monk alone, and there are two of them."
"If you touch the mold, it's the same as sending you to death."
"As for the fact that you are a friend of Murphy, since I have received your money, I will never reveal half a word."
Are there only two infant monks......
I breathed a sigh of relief, and took out a full hundred high-grade spirit crystals from the space in my body.
"This money is kept with you for the time being."
"Whoever can provide reliable information, this spirit crystal belongs to him."
"If I can find someone, I'll give you another top-notch spirit crystal."
"When the deed is done, I will reward you with a piece of the best spirit crystal."
The boss looked at the spirit crystals on the table and was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Mom, it's developed now!"
"Childe, an ordinary Jindan realm cultivator would never have such financial resources, who are you sacred?"
I whispered, "You don't care who I am. When you put out the list, just say that Murphy is my friend, and no one is allowed to hurt her!"
The boss looked worried, "That's ...... What are you going to do with the Chen family?"
