Shopkeeper's Trade
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"As expected of me, the Son of God Yuncang. I, Yuncang, will definitely be in the top ten this time."
The leader laughed loudly, and the psychic who was delivering the message below also breathed heavier when he heard it.
Resources, the top ten rankings represent countless resources.
In this way, with resources tilted towards the upper level, they can now get more, and perhaps, breaking through the level will not be a problem.
"Well done, go down and get your reward."
After the psychic left, the hall became quiet again.
Inside the hall, a shadow that was changing between real and unreal floated out from the seat and came to the first white jade lotus pillar. Then it stretched out its hand and took down a white jade lotus from the pillar.
There was a slight ripple in the space. If there had been no water flow, one would have doubted the scene in front of him, wondering if it was an illusion or if it was extremely easy to take out.
But how could a pillar made of white jade have aquatic white lotuses?
The leader of the Shadow Alliance grabbed the white lotus and suddenly asked, "Do you think there is a Son of God in Tianhai?"
The white lotus was as crystal clear as jade, its petals emanating an icy chill, and a white mist filled the hall.
“I don’t know.”
The leader of the Shadow Alliance did not want Bai Lianhua to answer.
"I have already done what I promised to do this time, so let's see when the strange land will be opened."
As soon as these words were spoken, the snow-white lotus instantly turned blood red, and blood beads rolled down the petals, unfolding a picture.
"In a month."
"Oh."
The leader snorted and waved his hand, and the lotus flew out of his hand and returned to the pillar.
…
River area.
The vast ocean was rolling with waves, a drizzle began to fall from the sky, and the sky and sea were shrouded in a thin layer of mist. The boatman was hurrying back home in time.
"The waves are rising again."
The ordinary boatman looked at the sky and sighed.
The river is close to the sea, and the vast sea is the source of livelihood for many fishermen.
It is also a resource place for those with water-related abilities.
Even though no one has ever known what is in that place deep in the sea and shrouded in mist, it does not stop people from going out to sea every day.
As for whether you can get it back or not, it depends on your greed.
Generally speaking, it is enough to find some breakthrough resources, but the sea is so far that human technology cannot explore it even before becoming a superpower.
Now it was drizzling, the waves were rolling, and the mist was slowly extending to the coast.
Several figures stood in the wind and rain, letting the rain wet their clothes.
He has a solemn aura and there are very few fishermen here.
These psychics came to the shore, neither avoiding nor giving way, but looking straight at the increasingly thick sea fog in the distance.
"The fog is very heavy. I'm afraid it will be dangerous for Master and his crew to go out to sea."
The tall woman in the middle spoke with a cold voice.
"Master, are they crazy? Do we have the power to interfere in this place?"
These people came to confirm the traces.
But when they saw white fog rising over the sea, they knew that their master and his companions had no hope either.
"etc……"
The junior brother who was lagging behind at the back was about to turn around and leave, his pupils widened and he spoke hurriedly.
"I think I saw the master and his ship!"
"What?!"
A tattered ship emerged from the mist, with most of its flag missing, like claw marks left by something.
The hull was covered in blood, and as the rain washed it, the blood dripped onto the sea surface.
When they were still five hundred meters away, a fishy smell rushed straight to the top of their heads.
“Stand back!”
The tall woman in the middle was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed quickly and she spoke sternly.
The three of them retreated quickly.
When we retreated to a safe distance, we found that the ship had stopped.
Although the flag was mostly torn, a sparse black flame logo could still be made out.
It was the boat their master used to go out to sea.
but--
The question is, are the ones who came back the master and his friends?
The three of them narrowed their eyes, alarm bells ringing in their hearts.
“Ahem…”
A cough was heard, and then a skinny hand lifted the curtain on the deck of the ship, and a listless and hunchbacked old man slowly walked out and appeared in front of the three people.
Describes a person who is haggard and in old age.
It looks like he is about to die.
But he is indeed their master.
"Cough, cough, cough—traitor!" The old man coughed hard, as if he wanted to cough out all his internal organs, "Why don't you help me go back!"
"Master, is it really you?"
"nonsense!"
Old man Wang glared at him. How could the three traitors suspect him after coming back from a trip out to sea?
"When you were three years old, you wet the bed and I was the one who kept you in check. When you were five years old, you still needed milk powder..."
A series of dark histories came out of the old man's mouth.
That junior fellow student never expected that his reputation would be destroyed here.
"Master! Stop talking!"
A quarter of an hour later.
The three of them finally confirmed that this was their master, but for some reason, he looked half as old as when he went out to sea before, and needed help to walk.
"Master, are you talking nonsense? Where are the gods in the world?"
After returning to the house and listening to Old Man Wang's story, the three disciples had only one impossible and outrageous thought left in their minds.
Old Man Wang was furious: "Why would I lie to you, old man? It's not that there are no such things in the world, it's just that we haven't reached that level yet and can't touch them at all!"
He spoke with great conviction and expression.
The three disciples looked at it with half belief and half doubt.
God? How could there be a god? Could it be some weird impersonator from somewhere?
Thinking of this, the three of them looked at each other tacitly.
"Master, then tell me, what is it like on the God's side?"
The three disciples asked tentatively.
Old man Wang also knew that no one would believe him if he just said it.
But he did go through it.
The Jiang area is named after the river. Within this vast area, there are numerous water systems, lakes and ponds crisscrossing each other, and there is a faint smell of water vapor in the air.
What's more, there is a sea next to the river, an endless sea that seems to have no end.
Therefore, the supernatural beings that appear here are also related to the water system.
No one knows where the sea came from. All we know is that from the day when the weirdness was born and the moment the world changed, a new sea appeared within the Jiang area.
The sea is extremely rich in resources, but also contains unspeakable horrors.
Most people with special abilities only explore the outskirts of the sea and do not dare to go deeper.
The same goes for Old Man Wang. He wants to go out to sea because he has obtained a treasure map, which shows that there are various places outside the sea where treasures may be hidden.
There are very few strange things in the sea. It’s not that there are no strange things, but there are sea beasts in the sea.
Every sea beast is born with terrifying strength.
You can imagine what a terrifying race this is.
Old man Wang didn’t think too much about it. After going out to sea, he followed the rules and went out to sea with a team.
But no one expected that there would be fog on the sea.
In the blink of an eye, without even noticing the danger, the boatman and crew on the deck suddenly disappeared.
Old man Wang showed a trace of fear. The vast sea fog and wisps of bloody smell rushed into his nose. There were even people with special abilities who committed suicide because they didn't know what they saw.
Old man Wang was sleeping in the room on the deck at that time, but he managed to escape the disaster.
He saw the scene outside from the cave entrance and didn't dare to go out.
He was unconscious due to fear.
Blood, brain... It felt like something was gnawing at his body all the time. Old man Wang would never forget the excruciating pain...
I finally understand why some people choose to commit suicide.
Just when he was unconscious and even Old Man Wang thought he was going to die on the deck, a voice appeared.
"It meets the standards and can be traded."
For a moment, Old Wang felt hot and painful. In this brief moment, he understood the meaning of the words.
A deal is a deal.
“I want to live!”
This was what Old Man Wang was thinking at the time.
"If you put in two-thirds of your effort, the deal will be successful."
“I agree, I agree!!”
His consciousness became so clear that it seemed as if he was not on the waves. He saw an extremely terrifying shop with many things hanging on it. Everything was shrouded in a layer of fog and no one could see clearly.
The black crow on the table looked over coldly.
It was like a terrifying and monstrous Dharma image that was looking over from across thousands of spaces.
Old man Wang broke out in cold sweat.
"The owner is not here, the deal is in effect."
Shop owner, shop owner!
He felt a spiritual fear towards the black crow, but the shop owner was not here...
The crow's gaze shattered everything, the sea fog dissipated, and he walked out onto the deck again, and what he saw were his three disciples in front of him.
When Old Man Wang talks about it now, he still feels a lingering fear.
"Master, you should take a rest first."
The apprentice interrupted his master to continue.
The main reason is that it sounds more and more mysterious as time goes on. After all, they didn't even see a human figure, and then their master said he saw a god.
Who would believe such a thing?
A black crow. They would rather believe that it is a monster transformed from an unknown force.
Only after they left Old Man Wang's sight did the three disciples relax.
"If it was weird, why did you save the master?"
"What do you mean by that?"
The tall woman looked over.
The junior brother touched the back of his head and said, "I just feel it's a bit weird. There have been cases of strange transformations before. Although we have entered the city now, I hope there is no problem with the magic mirror."
There would be no problem with the magic mirror, of course, as they had always believed in the mirrors hanging above major cities.
As long as you enter the city, you cannot do without the monitoring of this mirror.
Unless it has reached a nightmare level or above.
"Master, he really believes in God. If this happens, I don't know what to do."
"I think we don't need to worry about it. As long as our master is safe, there shouldn't be any strange things sneaking in..."
The three of them walked and talked, not worrying about causing any heated discussion.
The saying of gods is not unheard of by those with special powers, otherwise where would the divine realm come from?
But for such top-level matters, the people below cannot know more of the truth.
A figure passed by them and glanced at the three disciples.
Found it.
Jiangyu Special Management Bureau.
A huge and clear projection was projected in front of everyone, with another projection on top.
The figure of an old man in his seventies is lifelike, and all the information about the old man is listed next to him.
The apprentices here will definitely recognize that this is their master.
"This is the eighth incident involving a god this month. All the witnesses said they met a shop owner and were able to trade with him. In the minds of these people, they already regarded the shop owner as a god."
"From what we can see so far, all the witnesses are human. No pollution was found on their bodies and their mental seas are stable. However, some of them have experienced a decline in strength. According to what they said, this is because transactions require a price. They have to pay a price for what they want to get, and the price can be big or small. No one knows what the price is behind their request."
"□□, souls, mental power, supernatural powers, treasures, props... etc., all tangible and intangible costs can be traded. As long as you pay the price, it can even turn into a nightmare-level, fatal-level, or even a disaster-level that we have imprisoned and sealed in the lowest level in an instant."
The vigorous old man lowered his voice, and the psychics below were shocked when they heard the latter part.
It seemed as if they were also learning the specific content of the transaction for the first time.
"Mr. Ren! Is this true or false?"
A person with special abilities asked anxiously.
As if to verify something.
Mr. Ren silently scanned these psychics and sensed a hint of urgency in almost all of them, an urgency to know the answer.
Only a small number of people are born frightened.
Those people are all masters among the supernatural beings, so naturally they don't want anyone else to break the balance.
But having reached a high level, who wouldn’t want to go further? These people…
Mr. Ren sighed in his heart, if not for this, why would he say it.
This kind of secret cannot be kept.
"real."
Let Mr. Ren speak out.
The breathing of the psychics became heavier.
"But..." Ren Lao looked at them with a cold gaze, "If you need something, you have to pay a price. You want to trade, but don't forget, can you afford the price?"
As soon as these words were spoken, some psychics had already thought of it. The psychic who was imprisoned in the lowest level had lost half of his soul. This psychic could not control the psychic power in his body at all, because the soul is closely related to the sea of spiritual sea.
For the vast majority of people with special abilities, their spiritual sea and soul are actually separate. Their spiritual sea can feel expanding, but the soul is too illusory. Over the years, apart from the appearance of a Taoist priest named Wusheng on the Heavenly Ranking, no other people with special abilities have awakened any mysterious power in their souls.
It can be seen that when this psychic was making the transaction, he had been bewitched by the apparent strength, so much so that he was too greedy and possessed power that he could not control.
The power backfires, and the catastrophic level power hits the brain, and in the end, it will slowly degenerate into an irrational beast.
"cost."
Many people's eyes flickered, and when they thought of the mad psychic they had jointly arrested before, some of them began to back down.
Mr. Ren didn't care about that. He said it now to let these people know that there is no such thing as a free pie in the sky.
If it does, it's poisonous. Can your body withstand it?
"From all the current clues, this shop owner is here to make a deal. His strength is unknown, and he tends to be in a chaotic position..."
A brand new report has just come out.
The psychics captured the information they knew and slowly added profiles to the report.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper..."
This thought flashed through the minds of many psychics.
If you want to know whether it is a real god or a weird one, you just need to go for a transaction and you will find out.
But the problem is that they don't know how to meet the transaction conditions.
"But these people have no connection in life or experience. They are from different places. If it weren't for this incident, they would never have known each other. They have too little in common."
A psychic who was in charge of profiling people's personalities had slightly glowing green eyes, and he obviously wanted to trace the past with the help of the experiences of several eyewitnesses.
But there is no way.
There was no trace of emotion in them, as if they had never experienced that incident.
"It can be seen that the transaction matching conditions are very random..."
Even after this rare meeting was over, many people with special abilities were still reluctant to leave and wanted to know more about the transactions in the shop owner's store.
The three disciples were also puzzled.
They were also skeptical before.
But after learning about the Special Management Bureau's actions, he also found out that there were several people who had the same experience as his master, and his master didn't know them, so it was naturally impossible for them to reach a situation of collusion and deception.
So everything happened by accident, and because the conditions were met, I was able to do business with the store owner.
"Master, it turns out that what you said is true."
After experiencing what happened in the Special Management Bureau, they actually began to believe it.
If the master is the only one there, then at most they will just have another topic for small talk.
But with so many people with special abilities involved and such a huge mobilization, it doesn't look fake at all.
"Hehe, of course it's true, you're the only ones who don't believe it. It's not so easy for you to make a deal with gods."
Old Man Wang glanced outside and heard that many people also wanted to look for God, so he sneered.
"Those few people encountered the transaction when they were not in danger. One was in his sleep, and the other was in the same dangerous situation as Mr. Wang..."
"But there are a few who are from wealthy families, who have no worries about food and drink, and even have the resources to practice. How could such people also need power?"
The junior fellow was puzzled.
The brothers and sisters folded their arms and looked outside. Many people with special abilities left. After they left, they didn't know how many people would secretly want to make a deal with the store owner.
Hearing this, "Junior brother, human desires are like greedy snakes and elephants. When they are poor, they want to have enough food and clothing. After having enough food and clothing, they want to be richer. After being rich, they want to pursue power. After having power, how can they not want to be the best? In my opinion, the words said by the superiors may not be a warning to them."
"It's just a pity..."
This kind of transaction, even if it is fake, they all want to see what the store owner can trade...
“How terrible.”
An invisible thought arose in the minds of several people.
They had seen the miserable state of Old Man Wang when he returned from the sea. After losing his power, Old Man Wang behaved no differently from a retired old man.
If that shop owner is really a god...
They felt a chill run down their spine.
"Now that we have more people, if we want to find traces of the store owner, with these people around, the cost of trial and error is much lower."
"But we don't know if the shop owner will notice our thoughts and won't show up?"
Several people with special abilities stood beside Mr. Ren and expressed their doubts.
Ren Lao chuckled and said, "If you were gods, how could you care about the methods of small ants?"
Several people frowned and couldn't help but ask, "But Mr. Ren, didn't you say..."
If you don't say it in front of them, it's very likely just a weird disguise...
Old Ren looked up at the dome with a deep gaze. A picture began to hang upside down on it. This picture was activated only after those psychics left.
The galaxy was spinning, and countless planets in the world exploded in an instant.
What a stunning moment captured.
Only Mr. Ren can see the true appearance of this painting.
Several psychics have also gotten used to Mr. Ren's habit of looking up at the sky. As a high-level psychic, he has been in contact with the weird for many years, and his spiritual sea is different from that of ordinary psychics, so it is normal to have some problems.
"I'm just stating a hypothesis."
What if?
Several people felt chilled in their hearts.
I don’t think what came out of Mr. Ren’s mouth is just an assumption.
But, why can this be confirmed, and why——
After asking Mr. Ren at this moment, their doubts not only did not decrease, but increased instead.
Not far from Jiangyu, several large areas also slowly discovered this incident.
The universe is too vast, and there are too many living beings.
Not only humans, but also other races have found traces of transactions.
But most of them just kept it to themselves and started searching quietly in secret.
Therefore, only some people with special abilities can feel the undercurrent surging below, as if something is slowly breaking through the water and appearing before their eyes.
The sky and the sea are calm.
Even if you know that there are transactions between several people.
I also accepted with peace of mind that this was all caused by the young man.
God cannot be present.
This is an idea that was born out of their long-term contact.
There cannot be two gods existing in the same world at the same time.
And from the beginning to the end, Tianhai has now slowly gotten used to the scenes he sees from Linfeng's side.
After Blind Eyes arrived there, he quickly integrated into the group.
He is just blind and not mentally retarded.
Everyone immediately realized that this new guy was no ordinary person. He had no background or origins. His fake identity was well forged, but it was riddled with errors and omissions. Anyone with supernatural powers who could trace back would find that it was also blank.
"It's a puppet."
The snake's pupils moved and it spoke.
Then other people don't care.
Now, let’s not talk about anything else. There are too many extraordinary people in Linfeng.
Maybe the owner of the place where you eat is also a man with hidden secrets, and his background is not simple.
In this case, who wouldn’t be a person of great background?
The blind eye faithfully followed the instructions in his memory, and all the images were slowly transmitted to where the blind eye was.
"It's a nice place with beautiful scenery, chirping birds and fragrant flowers."
This place, which is valued by the people of Wuling, is also of great significance in the eyes of those with special abilities.
At the very least, it was not a hill chosen randomly.
Located here, you can overlook almost the entire Linfeng. It is the dragon head and the beginning of all things.
The phantom also saw the mystery and was really surprised that there was such a person among the Night Owl group.
"Blind eyes, do you see Him?"
"none."
"Forget it, just stay over there."
The phantom cut off contact.
He saw that the hill was indeed very powerful, and he also saw the force that loomed over there.
That’s where the aura is.
"I hope so."
…
Wuling Square.
Senior Brother Liu Feng was taking out his own painting and appeared in the classroom.
Because after getting started, you just practice on your own.
Liu Feng took out the scroll now because it could be used to test the abilities of this group of new disciples.
Although two-thirds of these newcomers have ulterior motives.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as we keep up the appearance, no one will say anything.
