Chapter 750 The Heroine Is Not a Human (Part 44)
"I heard that in addition to various commodities, you can also buy and sell information at your Treasure Pavilion?"
After deducting 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones, Gu Qingcheng was still not in a hurry to settle the bill.
Her golden brown eyes sparkled as she asked curiously, "Is it okay to look for people and treasure?"
"sure!"
"As long as this person and this thing are still in the Five Continents, our Treasure Pavilion will be able to find them or find out their whereabouts."
The shopkeeper said confidently.
Gu Qingcheng looked up at Pei Yan, who had a doting look on his face, as if letting her make the decision.
Seeing this, Gu Qingcheng did not discuss anything further, but directly stated her request according to her own ideas: "Okay, then I want to know where Lu Ming of Lingxiao Sect is!"
"Lu Ming of Lingxiao Sect?"
The shopkeeper's expression was a little subtle.
Gu Qingcheng & Pei Yan: ...Oh no, something’s happening!
A complex expression flashed across the shopkeeper's eyes, and he soon returned to his shrewd businessman's demeanor.
He stretched out a finger, "One thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"
"Spirit stones don't matter. What matters is whether the news you mentioned is worth the price!"
Gu Qingcheng continues to maintain her character setting of a spoiled little cat.
"Don't worry, my friend! Our Treasure Pavilion sells genuine goods at fair prices and we never cheat anyone!"
The shopkeeper is still full of confidence.
The fact that they dare to offer a price shows that the product (news) is worth the money.
"That's good!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded, agreeing to the price.
This was not a place for "confidential talks", so the shopkeeper led the man and the cat to the third floor.
They arrived at a relatively secret room. After the shopkeeper entered, he set up a barrier and then invited Pei Yan and Gu Qingcheng to take a seat.
After the two people and the cat sat down, the shopkeeper began to get straight to the point: "My two fellow Taoists, I believe you also want to search for the whereabouts of the demon Lu Ming."
Devil?
Such a statement was earth-shattering! Gu Qingcheng and Pei Yan were both shocked.
Gu Qingcheng raised his little furry head, while Pei Yan lowered his head, and the eyes of the cat and the man met in mid-air——
Gu Qingcheng: ...It seems that in the past three hundred years, we have been busy training in the outer sea monster territory, and your brother Lu’s life is also very "exciting".
Pei Yan: ...Indeed! Three hundred years ago, Lu Ming was a disciple of the famous Lingxiao Sect, a great Nth generation immortal.
Three hundred years later, he suddenly transformed into a "devil".
Is he possessed by a demon?
Or is there some other origin? "The story begins two hundred years ago..."
After the shopkeeper received the spirit stones, he worked extra carefully.
He recounted Lu Ming's story: "Lu Ming raised a demon cat——"
When he said this, the shopkeeper paused subconsciously and glanced at Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Oh, is it related to the heroine? Gu Qingcheng soon realized that, yes, the heroine looks like a white cat, but in fact, she is an ancient mythical beast, a white tiger.
It's definitely a silver gradient.
It is no exaggeration to say that this auspicious beast is a rare treasure.
The idea of possessing a treasure is particularly evident in the world of immortal cultivation.
The identity of the heroine has been revealed?
Was Lu Ming framed because he was in possession of a rare treasure?
Or, because the heroine was hurt, he was so angry that he fell into the devil's way? Gu Qingcheng's little cat's head was filled with all kinds of melodramatic plots in immortal cultivation literature, and his pair of golden brown eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Lu Ming's half-brother Lu Li discovered that the white cat was abnormal and designed a training to try to force the cat demon to reveal its true form."
"In the formation, the cat demon's bloodline was awakened, and it turned out to be the only ancient mythical beast white tiger left in the world."
"What's even more unexpected is that Lu Ming actually sacrificed himself to break the formation and tried to save his demon pet."
"...Alas, Lu Ming was trapped in a chain of formations and almost lost his soul. At the critical moment, Baihu broke through the confinement and tried his best to save his master."
"Lu Ming probably risked everything to make a breakthrough, but he unexpectedly awakened the demon in his body—"
When the shopkeeper talked about this big news in the world of immortal cultivation, his tone was quite emotional.
Perhaps in his opinion, although Lu Ming is a devil, he is also a man of character.
He would awaken the demon species and fall into the devil's way, mainly to save people.
And his demon pet did not let him down and risked its life to save him.
One man and one beast, never let each other down.
"Demon seed? Isn't Lu Ming a descendant of the Lu family of Xihai? How could he have a demon seed?"
Gu Qingcheng turned into a qualified listener. After hearing the wonderful passages, she subconsciously asked questions.
"Lu Ming is indeed the young master of the Xihai Lu family, but the ancestor of the Xihai Lu family was once the disciple of the Demon Lord Mo Yuan—"
The shopkeeper is indeed a qualified businessman. After receiving the spirit stones, he will do his best to answer the customers' questions and resolve their doubts.
In order to satisfy the customers, he did not hesitate to talk about old stories that happened thousands of years ago.
"The Demon Lord Mo Yuan was originally an immortal, but he fell into evil because of greed."
"When Lord Mo Yuan was still an immortal, he accepted three disciples as his own, and the ancestor of the Xihai Lu family was one of them."
“The world doesn’t know whether there is a contract between them, but the demon seed in Lu Ming’s body is indeed from Demon Lord Mo Yuan.”
"However, this demon seed has been sealed all the time. Logically speaking, Lu Ming should not be possessed by the demon."
"...After Lu Ming became a demon, Lingxiao Sect's Yaoguang Patriarch had some guesses. He suspected that Demon Lord Moyuan must have left a hidden trick and set up a certain formation. Once triggered, it would cause the demon to 'revive'."
The shopkeeper explained slowly.
Gu Qingcheng's heart was already in turmoil.
Demon Lord Mo Yuan?
What a familiar name.
When Gu Qingcheng first came here, she witnessed a battle between immortals and demons.
Above the clouds, nine immortal kings fought against the demon king wearing black armor.
And that demon king seemed to be called "Mo Yuan".
After the war, Gu Qingcheng saved the souls of many undead in the battlefield between immortals and demons, including both immortals and demons.
However, apart from a white shadow that looked slightly "weird", Gu Qingcheng did not find any residual soul related to Demon Lord Mo Yuan.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Of course, it is possible that Demon Lord Mo Yuan was sealed. He did not die but just lost his freedom.
But Gu Qingcheng always felt something was wrong.
Mo Yuan is a demon, and demons are cunning. He will definitely leave a trick for himself! Demon seed!
This is the backup plan he left for himself.
The demon seed in Lu Ming's body should be a move made by Demon Lord Mo Yuan.
As for the shopkeeper's resurrection of the demon species -
Gu Qingcheng felt a little guilty, but she had not forgotten that she had once entered a cave in order to get the "reward" promised by the senior in white.
Perhaps, the moment Gu Qingcheng took away the pile of spirit stones, the demon seed was awakened.
And Lu Ming's destiny of becoming a demon also began! "...Well, this should be destined by heaven. Even if I wasn't there, someone else would have mistakenly entered the cave and accidentally triggered the formation."
"What's more, the awakening of the demon in Lu Ming's body has nothing to do with the white-clothed shadow."
All of this was just Gu Qingcheng's fantasy.
After all, until now, Gu Qingcheng still didn't know whether the white shadow was a fairy or a demon.
Gu Qingcheng tried hard to comfort herself in this way, but she still felt guilty deep down.
Pei Yan had been paying close attention to his own Ah Qing's every move, every frown and smile. When he saw that there was a hint of evasion in her pretty cat eyes, he knew that Lu Ming's affairs might have something to do with her.
So what?
Even if Aqing was wrong, it was unintentional.
Not to mention, it’s not necessarily wrong!
Everything in the world of immortal cultivation has certain cause and effect.
Perhaps this is the will of heaven, and Aqing is just "going with the flow."
Pei Yan is definitely a biased shit-shoveler who only helps his relatives and not others. He will subconsciously make excuses for his own Ah Qing.
“No one in the world knows how Lu Ming awakened the demon species, but it is a fact known to everyone that he has become a demon.”
"The battle between immortals and demons more than two thousand years ago was so brutal that the nine major immortal sects suffered heavy losses. Their teachers and fellow disciples all perished. The surviving immortal sect masters will not allow another demon to appear on the Five Continents!"
The shopkeeper had no idea what Gu Qingcheng, Pei Yan and the other two were thinking, so he continued to tell the story: "Lu Ming has become a demon, and is not tolerated by the nine major immortal sects in the five continents."
"Lu Ming was besieged by the nine major immortal sects, and Xihai City was also overthrown."
"Lu Ming was seriously injured. At the critical moment, he was rescued by his own pet, the ancient mythical beast, the white tiger."
"Since then, Lu Ming's whereabouts have been unknown!"
"Some people say that Lu Ming went to the Demon Realm and really became the Demon Lord."
"Some people also said that Lu Ming was hidden by Lingxiao Sect's Yaoguang Patriarch and hid in a corner to recuperate."
"Some people also say that—"
The shopkeeper kept on talking, telling all the rumors about Lu Ming in the martial arts world.
Gu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow, "It's just a rumor? You guys at Zhenbao Pavilion shouldn't just follow the crowd, right?"
The shopkeeper was not angry after hearing Gu Qingcheng's slightly provocative words.
He curled the corners of his lips slightly, "Of course not!"
He was full of pride, "Our Treasure Pavilion is spread all over the five continents, so we are naturally well-informed."
"As for the rumors circulating in the market, the Treasure Pavilion will separate the true from the false and follow the clues to get to the bottom of it..."
After some investigation, the Treasure Pavilion actually found some traces of Lu Ming.
"The battlefield of immortals and demons!"
The shopkeeper raised his head and looked at the little cat steadily. "The Treasure Pavilion heard that someone saw a man and a cat in the fairy city near the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons—"
"One person and one cat? Haha, one person and one cat means that it is Lu Ming? Doesn't that also apply to me and little Pei Yan?"
Gu Qingcheng just laughed twice and directly ruined the show.
Shopkeeper: ...
The owner of the Treasure Pavilion, who was always confident and talkative, was choked by Gu Qingcheng and became speechless.
Well, okay, Gu Qingcheng was not wrong, this pair of main pets of theirs really looked a bit like that devil Lu Ming.
If a cultivator has never seen Lu Ming, he would definitely make a mistake just by looking at the combination of "one man and one cat".
Wrong person? Gu Qingcheng and Pei Yan thought at the same time, and the cat and the person looked at each other again——
Gu Qingcheng: ...So, the "top-notch" female cultivator at the city gate is not just mentally ill, but she recognized the wrong person? Pei Yan: ...Aqing is right!
etc!
The female cultivator admitted her mistake once, and there will probably be a second time.
If she were free, would she "want someone"?
