Volume 1, Born Lonely and Cold Chapter 29, Acquaintances
On the underground square, Xu Bing looked at Niu Zhuang beside him coldly, waiting for the other party to explain to him.
Seeing this, Niu Zhuang hurriedly put on a flattering smile and said to Xu Bing, "Senior brother, don't misunderstand, this ring is just a way in this Thunder Immortal Bazaar, even if the junior brother doesn't have enough cultivation to participate now, but in the future, the junior brother's cultivation will be improved, and you can also come here."
Niu Zhuang said and pointed to a corner in the distance, and then said, "Senior brother, look, there is a ring over there, and there, there", as he spoke, he pointed to the four corners of the square. "The ring next to us is a four- to six-fold competition ring in the southeast corner, one to three in the southeast corner, seven to nine in the southwest corner, and finally the ring in the northwest corner, no matter what cultivation you do, you can go up to compete, and you can bet on the ring competition, just like a casino in the mortal world."
When Xu Bing heard this, he had a general understanding, but even the ring with the lowest cultivation requirements was not something he could participate in now. He turned his gaze to the rest of the square, and saw that in this square, there were still some people with some things on the ground, and he was meditating on the side, so that he looked like the vendors setting up stalls in the mortal market, and it was no wonder that Niu Zhuang called this place the Lei Xian Market.
Seeing Xu Bing looking elsewhere, Niu Zhuang beside him hurriedly said, "Senior brother, look at this Thunder Immortal Market, in the middle of this market, there are many stalls set up by fellow disciples and brothers, if you have enough spirit stones or other valuable things, you can exchange them for what you need." Although the things here are not too precious, they are better than all-round, there are magic scrolls, low-level pills and herbs, and some magic weapons."
Xu Bing heard the words and walked forward and looked, he even saw that there were people setting up stalls to sell some food, and in the conversation of the people next to him, Xu Bing learned that the food sold was actually made by the seller himself, and he could smell a burst of fragrant fragrance when he passed by, even more delicious than some mortal restaurant chefs.
Xu Bing turned around for a while, and also asked about the price of some magic weapons, but it surprised him. The magic weapon, which looked indistinguishable from the long sword in the mortal dust, was actually sold for fifty spirit stones, and this was the cheapest one he asked. He even saw two monks bargaining for an axe, and from their words, Xu Bing learned that this extremely ordinary-looking axe was sold for more than two hundred spirit stones.
After turning around for a while, Xu Bing stopped, looking at everything in front of him, he realized that he was so poor, which suddenly aroused his desire to make money.
You must know that when he was in Fancheng, Xu Tianrong's status could even be on an equal footing with the city lord, but as the young master of the Xu Mansion, Xu Bing had never lacked money, but at that time he was obsessed with martial arts and did not have much to use money. What he didn't expect was that one day he would worry about money, and the reason for his worries turned out to be cultivation, but what he cultivated was no longer the martial arts of mortal dust, but cultivation.
Thinking of this, Xu Bing turned to look at Niu Zhuang and said, "Thank you Senior Brother today, but now there is nothing to thank Senior Brother in Xia, and when I have a spirit stone in the future, I will definitely not forget Senior Brother in Xia."
When Niu Zhuang heard this, he said to Xu Bing with a smile, "What did the junior brother say, from the first time I saw the junior brother, I knew that the junior brother will definitely be the dragon among people in the future, and then I will give a little benefit to the senior brother."
The two talked for a while, and then Xu Bing left and returned to the peak of Shizun.
And just after Xu Bing left, Niu Zhuang, who was originally smiling honestly, suddenly changed into a sinister face, turned around and walked towards the exit of the Thunder Immortal Market.
The Outer Sect of the Thunder Immortal Sect, the first peak in the west, near the top of the mountain, there is a cave here. Unlike the other caves on the mountain, this cave is more like an attic carved from mountain stone, and in this attic, a figure sits on a stone bench.
It was a man in his twenties, dressed in a long robe, holding a teacup in his right hand, while the left sleeve hung straight down his shoulder, and his left arm was clearly gone.
The man turned his back to the gate of the cave, raised his right hand and took a sip of tea, then turned his head to look at his left arm, and then he froze there.
Xu remembered about the loss of his left arm, the expression on his face that faced the man in the room slowly became hideous, and at the same time, with the force of his right hand, the teacup in his hand was directly crushed by him, the fragments fell on the table, and the tea flowed on his arm, but he didn't seem to be aware of it.
At this moment, a man walked in from outside the cave, he walked behind the one-armed man, called "Senior Brother Chen", and the one-armed man turned around when he heard the sound.
It was the face of a young man, the same age as the person who had just come to the cave, if Xu Bing was here, he would definitely be no stranger to these two.
The one who had just entered the cave was Niu Zhuang who had taken him to the Lei Xian Bazaar before, and this one-armed man was none other than Young Master Chen, Chen Jiusheng, who had one of his arms cut off by Xu Bing in the Nanshan Village of Nanyun Mountain a year ago.
Chen Jiusheng looked at Niu Zhuang and asked, "How are things going?"
When Niu Zhuang heard this, he immediately smiled flatteringly and replied, "Senior Brother Chen, don't worry, you don't know what I'm doing, it must be nine out of ten." Saying that, he took another step forward, lowered his voice and continued, "Senior Brother Chen, that kid surnamed Xu is now less than the first level of the mortal realm, with your cultivation of the fourth peak of the mortal realm, it is not easy to clean him up."
When Chen Jiusheng heard this, he smiled coldly, looked at the outside of the cave, and said as if he was talking to himself, "No, I won't compete with him head-on, I want him to slowly understand what despair is, and finally appear in front of him, so that he can understand that the root of his despair is me, haha......" The laughter was very light and cold, but it was mixed with a trace of lighter sadness.
Chen Jiusheng glanced at Niu Zhuang, reached out and took out a few spirit stones from his waist, handed them to him, and said softly, "You did a good job this time, take these spirit stones and use them first, and your benefits will be indispensable in the future."
Niu Zhuang took the spirit stone, hurriedly thanked him, and then left with an excited face, leaving Chen Jiusheng sitting here alone, the expression on his face became cold again.
He looked outside the cave and muttered, "The revenge of the broken arm, if I don't avenge it, I will not be a person, Xu Bing, you wait, I must torture and torture you, so that you can also have a good taste of this."
For all this, Xu Bing naturally didn't know. Chen Jiusheng had entered the Thunder Immortal Sect a year ago, and his master was none other than the Outer Gate Elder of this mountain, named Fang Jiu.
It is said that this elder is in the middle stage of the Void Realm, which is not far from the late stage, and his name is not his real name.
A hundred years ago, there was originally a castle at the foot of the mountain southeast of the North Boundary Mountain, and the city lord's surname was Fang, so people called it Fangcheng. This Fang City Lord had nine heirs, and Fang Jiu was the youngest one, and his name was Fang Yi at that time.
One day, an immortal came to Fang Cheng and said that he was looking for a successor, but he only chose one person. This Fang Yi was the youngest of the nine sons, and although he had some outstanding features, he was much worse than the previous brothers.
The immortal originally chose a day for the nine of them to test their skills, will, and wisdom, but who knew that Fang Yi used means to kill all his other brothers the day before the competition, and he was the only one left on the day of the competition.
That immortal was already unable to find other disciples because he had an incurable injury in his body, and at this moment, seeing that Fang Yi was ruthless, he actually passed on his own exercises, spells and magic weapons to Fang Yi.
Later, the immortal died, and Fang Yi's father was also depressed because Fang Yi killed the rest of his brothers, and finally died of illness. At that time, Fang Yi was the only one left, leaving Fang City, wanting to go out to find a suitable place to practice, and renamed himself Fang Jiu, and later he was favored by the Great Elder of the Thunder Immortal Sect and brought back to the sect.
As for Chen Jiusheng, a year ago, he was taken by Fang Jiu, who went out, and because of his good qualifications, he was accepted as a disciple and brought back to the sect.
