Zhao Xi was shocked: "Aren't they supposed to be protecting the demon beasts?"
"That's ancient history from tens of thousands of years ago. How could such a thankless task last long? Those immortals are the people in the entire immortal realm who have the most contact with rare and precious spirit beasts. Of course, they would be watched by people. They have long been infiltrated by those merchants."
Brother Qian said mysteriously, "And another thing, these True Immortals are good at putting on a show, and they also have eyes that can see a thousand miles and ears that can hear the wind. If anyone carelessly speaks ill of a demon cultivator, their true essence will be roasted by the Samadhi True Fire. Everyone in this City of Ten Thousand Laws is in danger!"
No wonder!
Zhao Xi wanted to ask, "I want to sneak in, Brother Qian, do you have any ideas?"
Brother Qian glanced at them: "She's only in the late Golden Core stage. You can't tell her level, so it probably isn't very high. Don't go and throw your life away. Maybe if you get plucked, you... what are you again?"
Zhao Xi paused for a moment, then said, "A monkey?"
Brother Qian: "If she gets her feathers plucked and you end up balancing bowls in a circus, it'll be a huge loss!"
Zhao Xi thought: "..."
Tongyue: "..."
Just then, someone came over who wanted to buy Meng Po pills.
Zhao Xi and Tong Yue wanted to make way for him and step aside.
The man was dressed like an ordinary cultivator from the lower realms. He was dawdling and even suspected that Meng Po pills must be sold elsewhere, so he wanted to get more information about the sect from Manager Qian.
Zhao Xi was anxious to find Xiao Jia and didn't want him to waste the shopkeeper's time, so she praised Huangya Sect: "Other places may have similar sects, but Huangya Sect is the biggest. With more disciples, you can gather more resources from the mountains to collect spiritual plants and fight monsters. The facilities are the best, and the cultivation techniques are the most complete. Even if a small sect has more resources, the cultivation techniques might not be suitable for you. You're unfamiliar with the area, so you'll have to find them yourself. In your current state, you have no money and your spiritual energy is weak. You might have been kidnapped on the road and turned into a fairy servant. Yet you dare to run around on the road."
The man hesitated: "Have you eaten yet?"
Zhao Xi tried to continue her deception without changing her expression: "I ate it, and I'm waiting for it to take effect. I'll be sent away after it takes effect! Can't you tell my cultivation level now? That's the effect of the Meng Po Pill."
Manager Qian and Tongyue looked at her.
The cultivator, unsuspecting, asked for the Meng Po Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
His expression went from serious to dazed, and finally to a relaxed, silly grin, all in just a few breaths.
He turned to look at Zhao Xi, puzzled: "Fellow Daoist, how come my medicine takes effect faster than yours?"
Zhao Xi thought, "My cultivation level isn't as high as yours, so the effect will be slower. You go first; if you master it first, you can even become my senior brother!"
"Junior sister, then senior brother will take his leave first!" The cultivator cheerfully slipped into the Huangya Sect's teleportation artifact and disappeared from the pharmacy.
Shopkeeper Qian: "…………"
When doing business, you should of course remove the silencing barrier.
The immortals in front of the pharmacy all heard her bluff and turned to look at her in shock.
Amidst the admiring gazes of the others, Zhao Xi calmly reopened the barrier and bowed deeply to Brother Qian: "Brother Qian, do you have any other information that could help us infiltrate the Ten Thousand Demon Palace?"
*
The two young demon cultivators obtained everything they wanted to know, left Wanfa City, and headed to the Wanyao Palace on Qinghong Mountain.
"What an interesting little girl."
After talking with her, Manager Qian was in a great mood.
It's almost time for the spirit pets to eat.
He released the garlic turtle from the beast-taming ring and also saw the vegetable dumpling that Zhao Xi wanted to keep in the ring.
His pet eats very slowly, but its advantage is that it's not picky about food and will eat anything.
Give me a crystal block and I can crush it to pieces with a snap.
These transparent, fluorescent green vegetable dumplings look quite cute; I'll use them to feed my spirit pet.
"Eat quickly, hurry up, don't dawdle!"
Shopkeeper Qian threw a whole vegetable dumpling into the water tank of the beast-taming ring, then looked for turtle food in his ring.
"That's strange, did they run out of turtle food?"
While I was still searching, I turned around and saw Garlic Turtle swimming in the beast-taming enclosure. As if it had been activated, it quickly swam to the side of Vegetable Dumpling and opened its big turtle mouth.
"Glug—"
Garlic Turtle, who is usually slow and deliberate in his eating, actually swallowed the whole vegetable dumpling.
"???"
Manager Qian rubbed his eyes.
Is the sun rising in the west today, or is this spirit pet finally reaching the end of its life?
Immediately afterwards, some green spiritual energy wafted out from the large swollen lump on the back of the garlic-headed turtle.
The garlic buds, which looked like artificial flowers for thousands of years, actually...
It actually bloomed!
A pink aura permeates the air, carrying a subtle fragrance.
The garlic-shaped turtle poked its head out and stared at its owner, seemingly waiting for him to feed it the next one.
"What's going on?!"
Manager Qian was shocked.
Is this all thanks to these vegetable dumplings?!
*
"How about I go in alone, and you stay outside and gather information?"
"No, I want to go with you."
Looking at Tongyue's resolute expression, Zhao Xi hesitated, "What if Xiaojia doesn't go in?"
Tongyue: "If he hears the news, he will definitely go to save his relatives."
"That works too."
Zhao Xi glanced at her appearance, but was still not reassured. He found some dog skin plaster, smeared it on her face, heated it over a fire, and then covered her face with a veil.
Think of Elisa...
She was a cat demon with outstanding looks...
It just so happens that the celestial servants all wear similar-looking clothes.
The ring contained clothes for working. The Ten Thousand Demon Palace had many demon cultivator slaves, so no one would care about their attire.
Snake Feather Grass has a strong snake demon scent that can mask its true form.
