Chapter 54: The Legend of the Blue Ghost

...

Wuxiao City.

As soon as you enter the city, you will find the streets and alleys bustling with activity.

Unlike Yongdao City, here there are not only guards at the city gates, but also children wearing family costumes guarding the shops and patrolling back and forth. The public security is more rigorous than that in Yongdao City.

Seeing these family disciples, Jiang Ming understood why Liang Tao said that the system of Wuxiao City was strict and even entry and exit required relatively strict restrictions.

With guards like these, plus patrols by family disciples, who would dare to act rashly in this city?

The other side.

Tang Qiuyue, who was walking in front, lost his chivalrous demeanor as soon as he entered the city. He became extremely curious about the surrounding stalls, gadgets, and so on.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Then he glanced in that direction, as if thinking about something.

However, after strolling around for a while, Jiang Ming finally set his sights on a shop selling masks and slowly walked over.

"What would you like to order, sir? The quality of the masks here is the best in the whole Wuxiao City, and I think you look familiar. If you like any of them, I can give you a discount!" said the boss politely.

"I'm afraid you tell everyone you look familiar." Jiang Ming smiled faintly.

The boss just smiled and said nothing.

Jiang Ming really wanted to buy a mask. After all, sometimes one cannot act openly, and a mask can also hide one's identity.

His identity cannot be discovered by others until those evil sects reveal their true colors.

At this time, Jiang Ming's attention fell on a green ghost mask.

This mask is very peculiar. It clearly looks like an evil ghost, but it does not have any ferocious expression in its making. Instead, it has an approachable feeling.

Looking at Jiang Ming holding the Green Ghost Mask in his hand, the boss's eyes lit up.

"My dear guest, you have good taste. This mask actually has a story." The boss said, rubbing his hands.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Jiang Ming was a little curious.

"The prototype of this mask is actually a ghost called 'Blue Ghost'."

"It is said that this Green Ghost, although a ghost, never hurts the weak. He only kills those evil people such as the tyrants and ruffians who bully the weak. However, because the Green Ghost is ugly, even if the people get his help, they still avoid him. Instead, they notify the strong people in other places to get rid of him."

"So later, Qing Gui started a war with many powerful people. Qing Gui had nowhere to escape and eventually couldn't escape the fate of being killed."

At this point, the boss also sighed, as if he had a hint of regret.

Listening to this story, Jiang Ming nodded with interest and became even more interested in the mask in his hand.

"You seem very regretful?" Jiang Ming asked.

"Of course. The legendary Green Ghost is a good monster that eliminates harm for the people. In my opinion, those people are simply ungrateful!" said the boss with disdain.

"If you see the Green Ghost in person, you might have the same idea as them." Jiang Ming smiled.

"This... Hey hey hey! Do you want this doll?" The boss frowned.

Jiang Ming nodded and said, "Buy it, but I don't have money."

The boss rolled his eyes and was about to start cursing.

At this time, Jiang Ming gently placed a spirit stone on the table.

"I don't have any money, how about using this in exchange?" Jiang Ming asked.

Seeing this, the boss didn't know what to say for a moment.

He pinched his thigh hard, then he realized it was not a dream.

But this is a spiritual stone!

The spiritual energy emitted by the spirit stone cannot be faked. The price of spirit stones is now so high in the secular world that one spirit stone can buy all the masks in his shop, let alone a mask!

Whose family is this young man from? He is so generous!

"Not enough?" Jiang Ming asked.

"Enough, enough, enough! I said I was not mistaken. The young master is really generous!" The boss held the spirit stone in his hand and smiled with his mouth wide open.

"Well, I'll take this then." Jiang Ming said.

As he spoke, Jiang Ming pointed his hand, and the Green Ghost Mask turned into a ray of golden light and was stored in the storage bag.

As soon as he raised his head, Jiang Ming saw Tang Qiuyue's surprised expression.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ming asked.

"You just buy a mask and give someone a spirit stone? Are you crazy?" Tang Qiuyue felt like she was dreaming.

"Are spirit stones valuable now?" Jiang Ming frowned.

"I really doubt whether you have stayed in the mountains for hundreds of years. You don't even know the value of spirit stones. How could there be a prodigal like you in the world?" Tang Qiuyue explained helplessly.

Jiang Ming finally understood after this explanation.

In today's Cang Xuan Continent, not only is the spiritual energy depleted, but even things like spirit stones have become extremely scarce.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If a cultivator wants to improve his strength, elixirs are indispensable, but the most important thing is spirit stones!

Spirit stones are rich in spiritual energy. A top-quality spirit stone is an extremely scarce resource for any cultivator.

Like Tang Qiuyue.

He can only receive three low-grade spirit stones every month from Lingyun Sect, which shows how scarce they are.

After hearing this news, Jiang Ming felt deeply about the difficulties in the current cultivation world.

When he was practicing, spirit stones were mixed with stones after all, and the spiritual energy inside them was no match for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so they basically used spirit stones only as currency for transactions.

I didn’t expect that spirit stones are so useful nowadays!

"I should have ordered it for Lin Tianyi and the others earlier." Jiang Ming thought to himself.

After all, he now had hundreds of millions of top-grade spirit stones in his storage bag, but they were of no use to him.

"I'm really curious about where you came from? You don't even know this common sense." Tang Qiuyue sighed.

Just now, when she looked at the quality of the spirit stone, she estimated that it must be a top-grade spirit stone.

She has never obtained a spiritual stone of that quality.

So Jiang Ming gave a top-grade spirit stone to a merchant just to buy this mask?

She really didn't know what to say to Jiang Ming.

"Junior Sister Tang."

Suddenly, three figures came to Jiang Ming.

The three people's attire was somewhat similar to Tang Qiuyue's, so they were probably from Lingyun Sect as well.

"Senior Brother Hao, I didn't expect you to arrive so early." Tang Qiuyue replied.

"Well, who is this?"

Hao Shangtian noticed Jiang Ming standing aside and couldn't help but ask.

"This is a friend I met by chance. His name is Jiang Ming. He also wants to join Lingyun Sect. I plan to recommend him to join the sect after I finish the task here." Tang Qiuyue said.

Hao Shangtian nodded.

Then he looked at Jiang Ming.

From his point of view, Jiang Ming's strength is only at the middle stage of Qi training. There are many people with this level of strength in the sect, and they are the lowest level ones.

Joining a sect basically means just eating and waiting to die, which is nothing.

However, out of courtesy, Hao Shangtian still stretched out his hand and said, "Junior Brother Jiang Ming, you must work hard. If you don't improve your strength early, even if you join our sect, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the future."

Jiang Ming nodded, but did not extend his hand: "Thank you for the reminder."

Seeing this, Hao Shangtian withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly, and his favorable impression of Jiang Ming greatly decreased.

This guy, although not very strong, is quite arrogant!
