Chapter 80 Mirage
Leaving the little spirit beast in the store, Xu Qiuqian called Yun Yi and asked Yun Yi to help look after the store.
Afterwards, he and Yin Shican went to the City Lord's Mansion.
On the way, Xu Qiuqian asked curiously, "What do they want from me? Do they want to buy something?"
Yin Shican sighed.
“In fact, last night, Uncle Linchun took us into Hong’an Street to investigate. But after walking a few steps, when our consciousness became increasingly confused, Uncle Linchun asked us to withdraw first. A quarter of an hour later, Uncle Linchun came out with a heavy face.
I don't know what Master Linchun went through at that moment, I only know that when Master Linchun came out, his aura was a little chaotic, and then Master Linchun had a private chat with the City Lord's Mansion, so he asked me to come over and ask Manager Xu to come over. "
Xu Qiuqian frowned.
Even the Jindan Zhenren can’t do anything about it, so is it possible that the dark yellow gas in Hong’an Street cannot be solved?
If this is true, what will happen to her business? Although she can still do business during the day, the dark yellow gas is always a hidden danger.
I came to the City Lord's Mansion with a worried mood.
The City Lord's Mansion looks ordinary from the outside, but it is actually a world of its own inside.
In particular, the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion and the City Lord's residence were actually suspended in the air, with a clear lake below, making it look like a small island built in the air.
We boarded the flying crane from the City Lord's Mansion and reached the island.
Entering the meeting room, Xu Qiuqian saw Master Linchun, a beautiful female cultivator, and Xia Qin next to the female cultivator.
The female cultivator looked visibly tired. Xia Qin, who was next to her, saw her and nodded slightly.
Xu Qiuqian also nodded.
"Manager Xu, please sit down."
Xu Qiuqian sat down as he was told.
"Manager Xu, I'm the mayor of Youling City, my last name is Tan."
"City Lord Tan."
Without waiting for City Lord Tan to speak, Master Linchun asked her, "Manager Xu, can you sell me the formation in your store?"
The defense system in her store?
Then I figured it out.
Master Linchun must have seen Li Shiqian practicing Qi yesterday, but nothing happened to her as she stayed in the store at night.
Xu Qiuqian shook her head.
"Only that one."
She had thought about it before, but the system told her that the defense system could only be used in the store under her name and could not be sold.
So there’s nothing I can do.
At this time, City Lord Tan continued, "I called Manager Xu here today because I have something to ask of you. Last night, after True Man Linchun and the disciples of Wen Ji Sect entered Hong'an Street, they found that the mirage was really powerful. Even with a treasure that can calm the mind, it is impossible to keep one's mind clear. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the impact and the faster it will be.
So after discussing with Master Linchun, I decided to invite you to explore Hongan Street tonight."
Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
"Mirage?"
In interstellar space, the gas emitted by the corpse of the space eclipse beast is called "mirage".
It's just too much of a coincidence.
"Yes, because after inhaling this gas, some strange phantoms will appear in the consciousness, like a mirage, so we decided to call it mirage gas."
Xu Qiuqian was silent.
"What strange phantom?"
Master Linchun shook his head: "I can't remember it after I woke up."
Xu Qiuqian continued to remain silent.
Everyone thought she was afraid.
"Manager Xu, don't worry. We will prepare defensive magic weapons and robes for you. Even if others attack you while unconscious, they will not be able to harm you."
The gas on Hong'an Street is very special.
The higher the level of cultivation, the faster and greater the impact.
Master Lin Chun originally wanted to investigate on his own last night, but before even a quarter of an hour had passed, his mind had already begun to become confused. Those things that could calm the mind and spirit were of little use at all. Only the Three Soul Bell was somewhat useful.
He almost couldn't get out, and when the sound of the Three Soul Bell woke him up, he broke out in a cold sweat.
That's why he didn't dare to explore further.
"I……"
"If Manager Xu agrees, once this matter is resolved, half of the spiritual stones given by Xianwu Pavilion in connection with this matter can be given to Manager Xu, and the other half can be given to Wen Ji Zong."
"How much?" Xu Qiuqian asked subconsciously.
"One million."
Half of one million, that is, five hundred thousand!
“Don’t even ask Ji Zong.” Master Lin Chun said.
He had come all this way, but now he could only rely on a mortal with a damaged spiritual vein, and had to put the other party in danger. This was really against the rules of the Wen Ji Sect. Even if he solved the problem, he would feel guilty.
That's a full million, 100,000 points! "I agree!" Xu Qiuqian's eyes lit up.
This is 100,000 points! How many transactions does she have to complete to get it! And this matter concerns her store.
What's more, she also wanted to know whether this mirage was the same gas as the mirage in the interstellar space.
Xu Qiuqian planned in his mind to spend 10,000 points to buy something to save his life, so that even if something happened, he would be able to escape at the first opportunity.
Seeing that she agreed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After Xu Qiuqian agreed, the news spread like wildfire and instantly reached the ears of several other major families.
Several major families sent people to come.
From the Xiao family and the Xie family, Xie Manqing and Xiao Pingyue came in person.
"Manager Xu, what do you think? Why did you agree to this?" Xie Manqing looked puzzled. "Although the mirage is harmless to mortals, who knows what will appear on Hong'an Street at night."
"You are a mortal, it is too reckless to be so." Xiao Pingyue also looked disapproving.
Xu Qiuqian shook her head.
"The mirage must be resolved."
Because this is not only related to her store and her business, but also to understanding the confusion in her heart.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, the two had to give up trying to persuade her.
Xiao Pingyue took out a jade slip.
"This jade slip records the situations and consequences of several major families and the City Lord's Mansion entering Hong'an Street several times. It should be of some use to you."
"Thanks."
Xu Qiuqian took the jade slip and checked the contents on it after the major families left.
Several major families have conducted dozens of in-depth investigations into Hong'an Street, but the consequences have become more serious each time, because the people they sent have become more powerful each time.
There were also independent cultivators with high cultivation levels who formed teams to complete this task and obtain spirit stones, but the end result was always failure, and their cultivation levels even regressed.
After losing nearly a hundred disciples, several major families finally gave up Hong'an Street.
However, the loss of a hundred people did reveal something.
Xu Qiuqian looked at it carefully, and the more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.
After nightfall.
Xu Qiuqian put the things that Wen Ji Zong and the City Lord's Mansion gave her to save her life into the storage bag.
Standing outside Hong'an Street.
"Manager Xu, after you and the disciples of Wen Ji Zong enter Hong'an Street, if you don't come out within half an hour, I will go in to look for you." Zhenren Lin Chun said.
Xu Qiuqian thought, don’t get yourself involved by not finding the person.
But she said nothing, just nodded.
The people who entered Hong'an Street with Xu Qiuqian this time were several disciples with the lowest cultivation levels in Wenji Sect, a total of seven people, and one was Yin Shican, because Yin Shican had persisted the longest in the previous two times he entered.
The purpose of sending Yin Shican in was to reassure the other disciples, so that they would not feel that they were just pawns.
"Manager Xu, you guys have to be careful. The City Lord's Mansion and several major families have sent people here before, but they couldn't find the source of the problem no matter what they tried." Xia Qin looked worried.
"I know."
Xu Qiuqian's eyes flickered as she thought of the contents on the jade slip.
If the mirage on Hong'an Street is the same gas as the mirage emitted from the corpse of the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast.
So, what is the source of the mirage in Hong'an Street? Is it also the corpse of the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast?
