"Have you heard? It seems a powerful relic has been discovered inside the Blazing Light Volcano."

"Oh, you mean this? I've heard about it before. I even know that none of the people who went in recently have come out. It's really eerie inside."

"What's going on? Tell me. I was planning to go in and take a look in the next couple of days. Maybe I'll get lucky and find something good."

"Come on, with your late-stage Qi Refining cultivation, you haven't even reached the middle level yet. You might be dead by now. Stop bragging."

"How am I bragging? Can't I be lucky enough to receive the inheritance inside?"

"You? You're dreaming."

"What do you mean? You look down on me and want to fight?"

"Fine, let's fight! Who's afraid of you? Come on, let's go to the arena."

"Go if you want, whoever doesn't is a coward."

In Baizhang City, the nearest large city to the Fiery Light Volcano, Lu Li and Shushu were enjoying a leisurely meal in a private room at the First Restaurant when they heard a commotion erupt at a table downstairs.

In the end, the two who had started arguing simply stopped eating and decided to go to the arena to fight.

The most outrageous thing is that the other people at their table, upon hearing this, not only did not stop them, but were also eager to join in the fun.

This scene startled even the millet and sweet potato makers upstairs, who blinked and stared at the group of people who had already walked away, their faces full of confusion and bewilderment.

Weren't we talking about the Blazing Light Volcano? How did we suddenly start fighting? She was quite curious about what strange things were happening inside the Blazing Light Volcano.

These people only say half of what they mean, practically keeping you in suspense. Suddenly, Shushu felt that the food in front of him was rather tasteless.

Her obvious lack of interest was immediately noticed by Lu Li, who was sitting next to her and keeping a close eye on her. Knowing why she was in a bad mood, Lu Li offered words of comfort without even thinking.

"Junior Sister, don't rush, let's eat first, and then we'll go to Qinghong Pavilion."

After saying that, he picked up the spare chopsticks and added some more dishes for her, all of which were Shushu's favorites.

To prevent her from remaining depressed, Lu Li cleverly controlled his spiritual energy, subtly sending the aroma of the food towards her, a gesture full of coaxing.

Sure enough, the sweet potatoes, attracted by the aroma, quickly took the bait and stopped being curious about what the others were saying. They buried their heads and happily began to eat.

Of course, she didn't forget to thank Lu Li: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

In response, Lu Li gently patted her head, while keeping an eye on adding food to her bowl and secretly releasing his divine sense to gather useful information.

As for feeding millet and potatoes rice, that's really unnecessary.

Don't let the fact that Shushu is a baby fool you; because she's a cultivator, her little hands are incredibly nimble, and she can feed herself without anyone's help.

Soon, the whole table of food was almost completely devoured by the millet and sweet potatoes, and the previous annoyance had long been squeezed out by the food.

Patting his bulging belly, Shushu leaned back in the soft chair and sighed contentedly, "So delicious."

This adorable, lazy pose made Lu Li's lips curl into a smile. He gently rubbed her full belly to help her digest, making Shushu feel drowsy.

Fortunately, just a second before Shushu was about to fall asleep, they received the extra food they had ordered in advance, which they were prepared to take away. Lu Li also paid the bill very quickly and decisively, then picked up Shushu and left the restaurant.

Then, after finding a secluded and deserted place, he transformed the glutinous rice into a little mouse and carefully tucked it back into his clothes.

Lu Li then took out a black robe that could isolate divine sense and aura, wrapped it from head to toe, and then put on a mask before quickly using a teleportation talisman to leave the spot.

When he reappeared, he was in another inconspicuous hidden place. After walking for a short while, he came to a shop that looked ordinary on the outside.

After showing his token to the waiter who came to greet him, Lu Li was led to a private room in the backyard.

After he paid the entrance fee to the waiter, a teleportation talisman instantly lit up in the private room, and Lu Li stepped inside without any hesitation.

As the light from the teleportation array flickered on and off, Lu Li's figure disappeared from the private room once again and appeared in the ghost market of Baizhang City.

The Ghost Market, as the name suggests, is a market that cannot be seen in the light of day. Here, whether they are buyers or sellers, almost everyone is dressed similarly to Lu Li, and no one shows their true face.

After all, most of the items that can be sold in the ghost market are of questionable origin and cannot be sold openly.

However, Lu Li did not come here to buy anything this time, but was heading to Qinghong Pavilion, which was establishing the Ghost Market.

Yes, Qinghong Pavilion is the behind-the-scenes force that established the Ghost Market in Baizhang City, and is also the underground boss of Baizhang City, the undisputed local emperor.

In addition, he also has his own mercenary group, with countless guides and mercenaries, who are responsible for leading people in and out of the Fiery Light Volcano while searching for and collecting resources within the Fiery Light Volcano to sell.

Because the Fiery Volcano is an absolutely dangerous place on the Rainy Continent, although it is extremely dangerous, its resources are indeed super rich, many of which are not found in other places.

Therefore, every year, tens of thousands of cultivators come from all over the Rainy Continent, either to train or to search for certain spiritual plant resources.

Those who are just going in for training are fine, but those who are going in to find resources really need guides, and that's how the Azure Rainbow Pavilion came about.

They are hired to take their employers in and out of the Blazing Volcano, searching for resources while also selling information about the volcano.

After all, as a force that has been entering and exiting the Blazing Volcano for many years, their understanding of the Blazing Volcano is truly clearer than anyone else's.

Lu Li's purpose in coming here was to buy information about the Fiery Light Volcano.

As for why he knew about the existence of Qinghong Pavilion, it was naturally because he had been here before.

Moreover, he and the young master of Qinghong Pavilion could be considered friends who became acquainted after a fight.

Just thinking about how talkative the other party was, and to avoid him coming to bother him to death after finding out he was there, Lu Li ultimately just got an ordinary token and sneaked in to buy information.

Unfortunately, he hadn't been to the Blazing Volcano for a long time and wasn't very clear about its current situation.

In addition, he also had to rescue people. For Lu Li at this moment, buying information was obviously better than figuring it out slowly.

Therefore, Lu Li barely glanced at anything in the Ghost Market before heading straight for the main hall of Qinghong Pavilion, located at the highest point of the Ghost Market.

However, the moment he saw the figure in the center of the lobby, he wished he could turn around and leave immediately.
