Black Shine Star is arid and barren, with no rain all year round.

Walking on the dry earth, Lu Ming stopped after a while.

Look up into the distance.

I saw the distance, the reinforced concrete made the city, and the high-rise buildings in the clouds were lined up.

The sky shuttles in the city, and the neon in the city is full of colors.

A large number of light and shadow technologies that I don't know whether it is fairy law or technology are projected into a series of advertising curtain walls, so that the whole city is wrapped in bright light and shadow, which looks gorgeous but a little exaggerated and dazzling.

Suddenly, a roar sounded from above his head, causing Lu Ming to look up.

A huge oval-shaped spaceship swept through the sky and fell into the direction of the city's airport.

The faint voice was listened to by Lu Ming.

[This journey has arrived at the station, and the final station in front of us, Porta City. 】

[Thank you for taking this flight......]

Lu Ming smiled.

This scene of this city reminded Lu Ming of the prosperous scene of the past and the modern era.

When Lu Ming's feet officially stepped into the boundary of this city, there was suddenly a synthetic mechanical sound in his ears.

[Welcome to Porta City, unknown powerhouse.] 】

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, the synthesized mechanical sound sounded again.

[Please wait where you are, the mechanical city guard will deliver your personal terminal.] 】

Lu Ming stopped and stayed in place according to the mechanical sound, but his heart was pang.

The garrison of this city did not match the appearance of an open city at all, and the garrison was probably far stricter than any ancient monk city he had ever seen.

Just a few minutes later, a round metal bump slid from the side of the street and stopped in front of Lu Ming.

The metal bump opened automatically, and a device similar to a mobile phone flew out of it and landed in front of Lu Ming.

Lu Ming hesitated slightly, and the synthesized mechanical sound in his ears sounded again.

[Please pick up your personal terminal.] 】

Lu Ming stretched out his hand to take over the so-called personal terminal, and with the flash of aura in the terminal, a large amount of information automatically merged into Lu Ming's brain.

……

This place is called Porta City, which is one of the thirteen cities of Black Shining Star.

The city is divided into five districts, which may not seem like much, but the buildings in Porta City make extensive use of spatial Sumeru technology, making the city's capacity much higher than it seems.

An electronic map is included in the personal terminal, and free internet access is available.

Of course, there are also taboo matters in the city - for example, no fighting in the city, no use of forbidden spells or martial arts (such as soul searching, forcible control against humanitarianism), no action against mechanical city guards, no racial discrimination, no discrimination against mortals, etc......

There are indeed a lot of rules, but overall they are relatively loose.

It wasn't until he finished reading the information in his personal terminal that Lu Mingfang looked up, only to find that the round mechanical city guard had gone away.

Looking around, because this is a suburb, there are not many pedestrians around, and the buildings are generally low.

But there are also some unique customs that can be seen from it.

Humans, demons, demons, and all kinds of chaotic races that Lu Ming couldn't recognize walked on the streets, some walked in a hurry, and some were leisurely.

Each person's cultivation is different, there are pure mortals, but there are also the likes of the Yuan Infant of the Jiedan, and even under the diffusion of Lu Ming's perception, he can also sense the breath of a true fairy realm in a nearby building.

The perception was put away, because Lu Ming received a warning.

[In order to protect the privacy of the residents of this city, Porta City prohibits the release of perception, please pay attention to your behavior. 】

[The first warning is over.] 】

[Three warnings are considered a crime.] 】

This made Lu Ming smile, feeling that there was indeed something here, but there was no need to commit crimes against the wind.

Raise your legs and walk towards the city.

At this moment, Lu Ming walked through the streets, watching the wind and enjoying the scenery, and from time to time, the sound of advertisements came from everywhere and fell into his ears.

[Eat electronic elixir, enjoy cyber cultivation immortals. 】

【Bliss Pure Land Great Immortal Palace, tailor-made for you to create a dream journey. 】

[Are you still worried about the lack of elixir? Are you still regretting that you don't have exercises? Join Qingfeng Security Company and realize your dream of being a strong man. 】

[Don't want nine hundred and eight, don't want ninety-eight, just nine pieces eight, Tsukidan takes it home......]

As Lu Ming walked towards the city, the surrounding buildings also rose.

There were more and more pedestrians in the speeding car, and the noisy sound became more and more harsh, forcing Lu Ming to close his hearing and part of his vision, so that he felt much better.

I found a roadside café at random, paid with spirit stones, and ordered some coffee snacks.

Holding the personal terminal, Lu Ming briefly operated and found that it was very similar to the smartphone in the previous life.

Just like a student rubbing the Internet, Lu Ming wandered in the ocean of the Internet to absorb the information he needed, and after about a few hours, Lu Ming put away his personal terminal and sighed.

"In essence, it's nothing more than a black market star, and it's scary and scary......"

……

That's right, the essence of Porta City, and even Black Shining Star, is actually a huge black market.

Even the Lightless Star Domain where it is located is the largest black market trade star field under the rule of the Qingluan Immortal Realm!

The Visionless Star Domain is literally under the rule of the Qingluan Immortal Realm, but its location is adjacent to the Eight Desolations Realm.

It is located on the border of the two, resulting in the difficulty of regulation and the circulation of black goods, thousands of years ago, the Lightless Star Domain was a famous three-way zone, and the people who came and went were lawless people in the Qingluan Immortal Realm and the Eight Desolation Realm.

But thousands of years ago, the Lightless Star Field was integrated.

The one who integrates the Lightless Star Field, nicknamed the Gardener.

The name may seem ordinary, but it is actually powerful and mysterious.

No one knew whether this person was an immortal or a martial artist, but they all knew that the strength of the gardener was at least at the level of the immortal king and the law body, otherwise it would be impossible to subdue the group of lawless thorns in the Darkless Star Domain.

After the Florist integrated the Lightless Star Field, the essence of the black market in this Star Field remained the same, but the foreign policy changed - it became more "civilized", with more rules and order.

And civilization, rules, and order are the necessary conditions for doing big business, so in the past few thousand years, the black market trade in the Lightless Star Domain has become bigger and bigger, and its reputation has spread widely, and it has even opened up the official relationship between the Qingluan Immortal Realm and the Eight Desolation Realm, becoming an official and semi-recognized public black market star field.

The Gemini Galaxy is a star system under the Lightless Star Field, which is mainly composed of two living planets: Black Flare Star and Shirakawa Star.

The manager of the two stars is the second of the eighteen flower gods under the Florist's seat, the black and white twins.

According to the Internet, the black and white twins are both in the realm of the Immortal King's consummation, but the combined efforts of the two can barely escape in the hands of the weakest Immortal King, which shows the strength of the two.

"But it doesn't matter how strong it is."

Lu Ming muttered like this.

He didn't come here with the Realm Eater as his primary target.

In other words, Black Flare or even the Gemini Galaxy will not be the primary target.

Putting away his personal terminal, Lu Ming clasped his hands and thought quietly.

What I am thinking about is my own application of the void.

"I had some problems with the idea of using the Void before. Or should I call it, imperfect. ”

"I shouldn't use the Void as a backup Inner Heaven and Earth, but as a teleportation coordinate!"

Yes, after the matter of the Demon Court Realm, Lu Ming made a reflection and summary, and felt that treating the Void Realm as an inner heaven and earth was a bit petty.

The real usage of the Void Realm should be as the coordinates for Lu Ming to explore the universe - after all, the universe is so big, the life planet is inexhaustible, and the seventy-two tricks of the martial artist are more than enough, and there is no need to act according to the practice of one void realm and one trick.

"And right now, with the technical level of Black Shining Star, it can meet my needs."

Lu Ming is currently fully capable of exploring the universe in the flesh.

It's just that in the vast universe, there are always a few living planets, and it is not easy to explore the location of living planets in the flesh, and the time taken is even more exaggerated.

And Black Yaoxing already has a cosmic route to aliens, and through the super teleportation array created by the Qingluan Immortal Realm, it can easily reach other life planets, and it takes a short time.

However, there are still some details that need to be further explored by Lu Ming.

For example, when the alien returns to the Overworld, after activating the Void again, will he appear where he returned or the Black Shining Star under his feet......

Another example is the speed of time.

"But that's for later, ...... now."

Muttering like this, Lu Ming got up and left the café, rummaged through the storage bag in a no-man's area on the street, and took out the token engraved with the word raven.

Blood is poured into it, and the token glows slightly.

An address automatically emerged from the token and fell into Lu Ming's mind.

……

Porta City, Central District, High Star Technology Building.

The entire building is 1,000 meters high, with a total of 133 floors, and a large number of Sumeru cave technology is used, so that each floor of the building is a miniature cave sky, which can accommodate an entire Mahayana sect.

However, the public facilities still retain a sense of technology.

Lu Ming came here, took the elevator to the 52nd floor, with a slight tremor receding, the elevator arrived at the elevator door opened, and a soft-looking woman wearing a skirt and black silk had been waiting for a long time.

"Welcome, Mr. Liehu."

In Raven, the code name used by Liehu is Liehu, which is a bit of a taste of not changing his name and sitting without changing his surname.

Lu Ming used the identity token of the Fierce Tiger, and the name he inherited was naturally the name of the Fierce Tiger.

But it doesn't matter.

Raven doesn't care about the true identity of the ordinary members under his command, and the impersonation doesn't matter - the so-called ordinary members are not much different from customers.

Lu Ming nodded slightly, chatted a few words, and was led into the depths of this place by the woman.

This place is the Raven's office in Porta City, although the Raven is a black organization, and the entire organization is wanted by Qingluan Immortal Palace, but the foundation of the Lightless Star Domain itself is not clean, so as long as the Raven pays the money, it can also exist openly in Porta City.

Walk in slowly.

The woman is in front of Lu Ming in the back, the lights are bright and clean along the way, the light is abundant and the space is spacious, even if she is in the cave, there is still an imitation natural curtain wall made by illusion outside the window.

The overall scenery is a bit like the headquarters building of a large group that Lu Ming had seen in his previous life.

People come and go in the building, and the staff do not hide their faces, and they all show their true faces.

Occasionally, if you encounter someone like Lu Ming with a disguise, you are undoubtedly a guest.

Under the guidance of the woman, Lu Ming came to a room similar to a hospitality room, after serving hot tea and snacks, the woman turned around and left, waiting for about a pillar of incense, Lu Ming suddenly had a light screen in front of him, and a crow mask made it impossible to distinguish between men and women from the screen.

"Mr. Liehu, what do you need?"

The voice is also male and female, undoubtedly disguised, Lu Ming didn't care about these little things, he just said his needs by himself.

"Boundary Stone, Supporting Heavenly Wood, Jintiancao."

"It's best to have ready-made ones, and if you don't, I need clues to these three things."

The first two of the three things are used for cultivating the Eight Desolation Realm Gates, and the latter are used for cultivating the Three-Phase Heavenly Heart Technique.

In fact, Lu Ming's need for the three things was not urgent, what he urgently needed was a large number of immortal jade and realm cores...... But these two things ravens can't solve it, so they have to retreat to the secondary.

After Lu Ming finished speaking, the crow masked man simply lowered his head, as if he was inquiring about information, and raised his head for a moment to speak.

"We don't have any spot here, and we don't have any information about the Heavenly Tree, but there are clues about the Boundary Stone and the Golden Grass. Do you need it? ”

Lu Ming nodded.

"A total of five thousand lower grade immortal jade."

Ravens are expensive, but credible.

And five thousand times of immortal jade is just a drizzle for Lu Ming.

After taking out the immortal jade reserve of the Demon Court, Lu Ming has a lot of wealth, and the amount of immortal jade that needs to be consumed is just too much for the demarcation method, which does not mean that Lu Ming is really poor......

Taking out fifty medium-grade immortal jades and placing them on the table, the crow masked man immediately spoke.

"There are currently three boundary stones in the Lightless Star Field."

"One is in the hands of the Eighteen Flower Gods, Hibiscus Flowers."

"The other two will appear at the Aluminous Star Auction in a year's time."

Lu Ming frowned.

Hibiscus is the eighteen flower gods under the gardener, and his strength is slightly inferior to the black and white twins, but he is also the consummation of the immortal monarch.

It was not feasible to snatch the boundary stone from his hands, not because he was afraid of the hibiscus flower, but because he was afraid of the gardener behind him.

However, the Lightless Star Auction is indeed worth visiting - the Lightless Star is the main star of the Lightless Star Field, and it is the absolute core of this black market star field, and the gardener sits on the Lightless Star all year round.

To put it bluntly, as long as you have money, boundary stones are not rare.

But Lu Ming is now very short of money......

The Raven Mask Man didn't care about Lu Ming's economic situation, but continued: "As far as we know, there is currently only one Jintiancao in the Lightless Star Domain. ”

"Located in the treasure house of the Li family in Tiannanxing, it is a family heirloom that has been passed down for many generations for the Li family."

"The Li family of Aracea?" As soon as Lu Ming asked like this, he took out ten more medium-grade immortal jades, and then listened to the crow mask man continue: "The Li family of Tiannanxing is the Immortal Monarch family, one of the three major families of Tiannanxing, this Jintiancao was prepared by the Li family for their ancestor to cross the Immortal King Tribulation, no matter what the price, they will not be able to give this thing away." ”

Lu Ming nodded clearly.

As the saying goes, a person who has attained the Tao and a chicken dog ascends to heaven.

Once the ancestor of the Li family can really achieve the immortal king, the influence of the Li family of Tiannanxing will inevitably grow explosively - you must know that in the entire Dullless Star Domain, there is only the immortal king of the gardener.

It is reasonable to be reasonable, the Li family must kill this golden rosegrass.

Lu Ming fell into a long thought, and only after a long time did he say again: "Is there a task related to the Li family of Tiannanxing?" ”

The Raven Mask Man nodded, "Yes, and a lot." ”

After speaking, the screen in front of Lu Ming flickered, and a large number of tasks appeared in front of Lu Ming.

These are all tasks related to the Li family of Tiannanxing on the Raven's hand.

Some of these quests are not available at the level of Tiger Tokens, some require a deposit, but some require nothing.

After a long time, Lu Ming clicked on one of them and looked at it carefully.

Publisher: Li family's five rooms and three daughters, Li Minqian.

Mission Requirements: Protect Li Minqian and return safely to the Li clan land of Tiannanxing.

Completion Rewards: Based on the strength of the participants and the dangers encountered along the way.

Requirement & Margin: Neither.

Raven's note: This matter may involve the Li family's infighting, and the risk of the mission is uncontrollable, please take it with caution.

Looking at the last line of notes, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile.

But without saying a word, he took over the task.

He needed a channel to get in touch with the Li family of Tiannanxing.

And contacting the Li family in the form of a task is not necessarily the best choice, but it is not bad either.

"No matter how bad you are, you can get a free ticket, right?"

……

Night.

Corner bar.

All kinds of races gathered together, writhing wildly under the reflection of drinks and lights, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

In stark contrast to the noisy first floor is the second floor of the corner bar.

In the largest box on the second floor, six people are seated in a row, with clear priorities and silence.

On the throne of the Lord were one man and two women, both of whom were human races.

The man was handsome and not very old, wearing a loose casual suit, and his face looked a little proud and condescending.

And its strength also matches this pride - in the early stage of the True Immortal Realm, a proper immortal fruit position.

Although he was only born in casual cultivation, the three words True Immortal Realm were enough for this person to get the courtesy he deserved on most occasions.

And beside him, the two women are beautiful.

A goose egg face has long straight hair, big eyes are shining, and he exudes a weak temperament all over his body, which can arouse the desire of others to protect.

This person is the publisher of this mission, the Li family's five rooms and three daughters, Li Minqian.

The strength is not strong, only about the early stage of the combination.

The other woman had more charming facial features and a better figure, with wavy curly hair and a secretary's outfit, revealing two straight black silk legs.

This person is Li Minqian's best friend and secretary, Jiang You, and his strength is also in the early stage of the combination.

At this moment, Jiang You and the true immortal named Situ Rengang were chatting, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere of talking and laughing between the two, but Situ Rengang's eyes drifted towards Li Minqian from time to time, as if Li Minqian's appearance and temperament were more in line with Situ Rengang's taste.

Looking down again, I saw that the other three people had demons and demons.

The Terrans are monks, sloppy and old-fashioned, and their bodies exude the smell of wine.

The demon is a snake demonized into a woman, with a good appearance and a feminine temperament, and a pair of vertical pupils that are shining.

The demon is a flame demon seed, wearing a suit but three meters tall, and the skin that leaks out is dark red, exuding a sulfur smell.

All three are recruited protectors, and their strength is at the level of the Mahayana period.

The hands of the clock on the side moved slowly, and soon it was nine o'clock in the evening.

When the bell rang, Li Minqian sighed lightly and said softly: "When the time comes, it's probably these people." ”

Of the four applicants, one is a true immortal and the third is a Mahayana.

This strength is not strong or weak, but in the case of limited time, it is not easy to pull these people.

Just as Li Minqian wanted to say something more, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang You got up and opened the door, and a person came into view.

He is not very old, with good facial features, a smile on his face, dressed in sportswear, like a student boy who is still in college, carrying a large bucket of milk tea in his left hand and a McKenzie Big Mac burger in his right hand.

Seeing Jiang You, Lu Ming grinned, sunny and cheerful.

"Are you short of people here?"

Jiang You looked Lu Ming up and down, but he couldn't see Lu Ming's strength level, and he showed a seductive smile to Lu Ming after a slight turn of his mind.

"Naturally there is a shortage of people, this ......"

"Lu Ming, just call me Lu Ming."

"Well, Mr. Lu Ming, please come in."

Lu Ming sat next to the snake demon girl while munching on a hamburger with milk tea, and when he noticed everyone's eyes sweeping, Lu Ming finished eating the food and smiled at everyone present.

"Lu Ming, a first-class martial artist."

So everyone's eyes retracted and gathered on Li Minqian's body again.

Let's listen to Li Minqian's soft voice.

"This mission should be clear to everyone."

Everyone nodded.

Jiang You took over the conversation and added: "The goal is simple, send my young lady back to the Li family land of Tiannanxing, and after arriving, the task is completed, I guarantee in the name of the Li family, and this reward will definitely satisfy everyone." ”

"And what about the risks?"

The Flame Demon asked in a deep and deep voice, and listened to Jiang You's quick answer: "The risk is unknown. We don't know what to expect, or if there's no danger...... But the only thing we know for sure is that there must be people in the clan who don't want to see my young lady return to the Li clan's land, so this mission is coming. ”

Everyone nodded in unison, this situation was clearly written on the mission instructions, and the fire demon only wanted to see if there could be an unexpected gain.

Suddenly, two voices rang out at the same time.

"This mission is not very difficult, Miss Li, don't worry, under Situ Rengang, I will be able to keep you safe."

"When it comes to the Li family's infighting, are we really enough?"

Voices came out of Situ Rengang and Lu Ming's mouths respectively.

But everyone's eyes were instead focused on Lu Ming.

Li Minqian smiled awkwardly, and Jiang You also smiled dryly.

"Mr. Lu Ming, you may have misunderstood, saying that the Li family's infighting is too exaggerated, at best, it is just a contradiction between juniors, so the danger is not great."

After speaking, he looked at Situ Rengang again, and said sweetly: "And with Mr. Situ here, if you want to come to our trip, it's probably just a formality." ”

Everyone else nodded in unison, especially Situ Rengang's proud expression.

On the contrary, Lu Ming glanced at Li Minqian, then at Jiang You, and said with a smile when his eyes flashed.

"If you say that, then I'm relieved."
