True Immortal of the Netherworld

Hearing what shopkeeper Li said, Xu Yang murmured in his heart, he would not let the secret of his flame spirit be leaked out like this. If the elder of the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance was as interested in wealth as Ouyang Cheng, he would be in trouble again, and he couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Shopkeeper Li saw this and understood. He smiled and said: "Master Xu, please rest assured that the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance will keep the identity secret of any guest appraiser. Even if the law enforcement elders come, they will not be allowed to see the true face of the master. As for I, Lao Li, have already been banned by the Merchant Alliance. With my seven-year reputation as the shopkeeper and my life as a guarantee, I will naturally keep my mouth shut. If someone is found to have leaked relevant information, the punishment from the Merchant Alliance will be extremely severe. After recommending Young Master Xu to become an appraiser, the monthly remuneration will also increase. That’s why I actively persuade Young Master Xu.”

"This Yuanchang Merchant Alliance has thought so carefully. In this case, please ask Shopkeeper Li to invite the deacons and elders of the Merchant Alliance to come." Seeing that Shopkeeper Li was sincere and the method was safe, he agreed.

"Master, please wait a moment, Lao Li, I'll be back soon."

After a cup of tea, there was a knock on the door of Xu Yang's room, and then shopkeeper Li's voice came: "Sir, Lao Li is back."

"Please come in."

Immediately afterwards, the door creaked open, and shopkeeper Li pushed the door open and walked in.

Shopkeeper Li had a tray in his hand. The tray was covered with a piece of red silk, and five pills were placed on the red silk.

"Master Xu, the elder deacon is already in the outer hall. Among these five pills, one is of inferior quality, and the other four are of good quality. As long as Master identifies the inferior one among them, it will pass this test."

After speaking, he placed the tray on the table in front of Xu Yang.

Xu Yang took the five pills in his hand one by one and looked at them carefully. The attributes of the five elixirs are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. In the end, what was certain was that the two elixirs of fire and earth were normal.

Xu Yang smiled awkwardly and laughed at himself: "There is a 30% chance, just leave it to fate." Then he randomly took one of the water attributes, handed it to Shopkeeper Li, and said, "This is it."

Shopkeeper Li took the pill with a smile and backed out.

Not long after, shopkeeper Li returned to the room with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations to Mr. Xu for passing the test."

"It's a fluke, it's just a fluke." After saying this, Xu Yang's ears turned red.

Shopkeeper Li took out a white jade token and handed it to Xu Yang: "Congratulations to Master Xu for becoming the guest appraiser of this alliance. This token is the identification of Mr. Xu as the guest appraiser of Yuanchang Merchant Alliance."

"Thank you, shopkeeper Li."

After saying that, he took the token and looked at it carefully. This token is made of white jade, rectangular in size, moist and white all over. The two characters "Yuan Chang" are engraved on the front, and the four characters "Business Prosperity" and a row of strange symbols indicating identity are engraved on the back. A faint spiritual vibration emanated from the jade tablet.

Xu Yang carefully put the jade plaque away and then said goodbye to Shopkeeper Li.

I took the jade token and bought some alchemy materials and other items from several Yuanchang Merchant Alliance stores in Pingyun Gufang City, and I really enjoyed some discounts.

It was getting late, and Xu Yang, who had gained a lot, decided to return to Tiangui Sect.

Before leaving the street in front of the main entrance of Fangshi, Xu Yang found that someone seemed to be following him. Xu Yang deliberately stopped and looked back. He found that the person following him was wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat on his head. The bamboo hat was held down so low that his face could not be seen clearly.

Seeing Xu Yang looking back, the man immediately pretended to buy something and turned his back to a nearby stall.

Xu Yang couldn't help but murmur in his heart. After what Shopkeeper Li said, wasn't the banditry eliminated by the merchant alliance? Why are there still people so sneaky?

When Xu Yang looked up, he happened to see several people wearing purple and black brocade uniforms at the entrance of Fangshi. The word "Shang" was embroidered on the back of each person's coat. Xu Yang smiled slightly, thinking carefully.

Xu Yang strolled towards one of the tall business alliance deacons.

He clasped his fists slightly, and then whispered: "Brother, please excuse me. I am a guest appraiser from the Merchant Alliance, and I have something to tell you." After saying that, he handed over the jade plaque that symbolized his identity.

This person glanced at the jade token in Xu Yang's hand and said with a smile: "It turns out that fellow Taoist is a guest member of the Merchant Alliance. It's all my family members who have something to do, but it's okay to say it."

"There's someone behind me who's been following me. It's the one wearing a bamboo hat over there. Judging from his sneaky appearance, I'm afraid he's a bad guy." Xu Yang whispered, and then glanced behind him.

The tall law enforcement officer followed Xu Yang's gaze and saw the man wearing a bamboo hat.

"Follow me." He said, waving to the other two deacons around him.

The other two deacons immediately came over.

"Go over and have a look."

The three men aggressively surrounded the man wearing a bamboo hat.

Not long after, Xu Yang, who was standing there, saw three deacons surrounding the man wearing a bamboo hat, and they started arguing with each other. Seeing this, Xu Yang smiled proudly. He strode out towards the entrance of Fangshi without looking back.

Not far from Pingyun Valley, a forest appeared in front of us.

"Isn't this the place where I met the two thieves who called themselves the Two Ghosts of Mangshan? I wonder what happened to the big black guy who was injured by me." Seeing the familiar scenery in front of him, Xu Yang thought to himself.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, a circle of spiritual energy rippled in his palm. Then there was a flash of red light, and a spiritual bird with red feathers and long tail stood in Xu Yang's palm.

"This bird fairy is suffocated to death." A'Zhu said, stretching his wings.

"Ahem, A'Zhu, I order you to lead the way." Xu Yang coughed twice and said deliberately.

A'Zhu spread his wings lightly and flew to the sky above Xu Yang's head. He circled in the air and then flew back to Xu Yang.

"Xiaoxian, I found a group of passing merchants ahead."

"There are merchants passing by, which means there is no banditry ahead. We can move forward with confidence." After Xu Yang finished speaking, he took out a spiritual nut and threw it into the sky.

"How do you like the nuts I just bought for you?"

A'Zhu quickly swooped down, stretched out his beak and pecked, took the nut in his mouth, and swallowed it.

"The outside world is really nice, and there are delicious nuts to eat." A'Zhu said with satisfaction. Then it flew happily onto Xu Yang's shoulder.

Not long after, a group of merchants came forward. A tall black horse pulled a cart of goods behind it. The driver was an old man with white beard and hair and a thin body. Followed by several sturdy men riding the same black horse.

Although the road was very wide, Xu Yang still leaned against the roadside. Standing sideways on the roadside, waiting for the caravan to pass by.

When the white-haired old man driving the car saw this, he smiled and nodded towards Xu Yang on the roadside. Xu Yang also smiled at the old man knowingly.

When the caravan passed by, Xu Yang looked back at the caravan's retreating back and said: "The business scene here is the same as that in Qingshi Town. I don't know how the business of the wine shop at home is going. Mom must be suffering alone. "

After saying that, Xu Yang took off the wine gourd from his waist and pulled out the stopper. He raised his neck, and two big mouthfuls of "eighteen fell" fell into his stomach.

"Xiaoxian, you must be homesick."

"It's not time to go home yet, there's still a long road ahead?" After saying that, he licked his lips, raised his brows, and strode forward along the trade road.

"There is another section of the road to the inn. You can take the teleportation array at the inn and return to Tiangui Sect." Xu Yang said.

"Compared to the Tiangui Sect, I prefer the feeling of freedom outside." A'Zhu said.

At this moment, a gust of wind passed by, kicking up a cloud of yellow dust that blocked the view of the road ahead.

"Xiaoxian, it seems someone is coming."

The dust cleared, and three figures blocked the middle of the road.

The three people in front of them were wearing ordinary clothes, but each of them had a black scarf covering their face, making it difficult to see their faces, which only added to the disgust. The leader is a big man who is two feet tall, the other is short and thin, and the last one is slightly fat.

Xu Yang's consciousness swept away and he could not clearly see the cultivation level of the other three. He secretly complained in his heart that the cultivation of these three people was at least in the Void Realm. If he fought one against three, he would probably suffer a loss.

I was pounding in my heart, but I didn't panic on the outside.

"Three good men, I'm just an ordinary passerby, not a wealthy businessman. If you want to steal money, I'm afraid you've found the wrong person."

"Boy, your name is Xu Yang." One of the strong men said sternly.

Xu Yang couldn't help but was startled, and said quickly: "Brother, you have recognized the wrong person. I am not Xu Yang. My name is Ashun, and I am just an ordinary casual cultivator who went to Pingyun Gufang City to make purchases. Some spiritual fruits, ready to return."

As he spoke, Xu Yang took out three fist-sized spiritual fruits from his storage bag.

"It's such a hot day. You three brothers must be thirsty. Let's eat some fruit to quench our thirst."

After speaking, he threw the fruit towards the three people opposite.

One of the three people on the opposite side, a thin road bandit, waved his single palm, and a strong palm wind swept past him, knocking down the three spiritual fruits thrown by Xu Yang to the ground.

Watching the spirit fruit bones roll down into the weeds on the roadside. Xu Yang said distressedly: "It's a pity that you don't know good people's hearts. It's such a good fruit."

"What kind of fruit? You treat us three brothers like sticks. If you put some poison on the fruit, wouldn't we be able to catch you without mercy? The three of us brothers have been following you for most of the day. How can we be wrong?" One of them had a tall figure. The slightly fat road bandit said.

"My second brother is right. Boy named Xu, it's not my brothers and three who are making things difficult for you. It's just that you have offended someone who shouldn't be offended. As soon as you left the Tiangui Sect, my three brothers followed you all the way. Unexpectedly, you were followed all the way. There are too many people and we have never had a chance to take action. Now that you are alone, it is time to take your life." said the thin road bandit.

When I left the Heavenly Ghost Sect, there were indeed several fellow disciples along the way, and they left separately after arriving at the inn. After coming out of the post station, there were other casual cultivators or merchants on the way to Pingyun Valley, but these three people were not found. Perhaps these three people disguised themselves and mingled among ordinary merchants, and they all blamed themselves for their carelessness. Since you first entered Tiangui Sect, have you never made any enemies? Could it be Chen Kang, or him? Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come, so we can only resort to tricks.

Thinking of this, Xu Yang changed the topic and said sternly: "Looking at the wretched looks of the three of them, they must be veterans of robbing families. Look what I have in my hands!"

With that said, Xu Yang took out the jade token of the Merchant Alliance and flashed it in front of him.

"Brother, this seems to be the identity card of the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance." said the thin road bandit.

The strong man took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the token of the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance. Before he came, the man didn't tell us what relationship this boy had with the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance. The Yuanchang Merchant Alliance is very powerful and not easy to mess with. Friends in the underworld will give it some face. A look of hesitation suddenly appeared on his face.

"Brother, there is no need to talk nonsense with this kid. So what if he is a member of the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance? After our brothers complete this business, it will be enough for us to find a small sect and live in seclusion for a few years."

After hearing this, the strong man who was called the eldest brother nodded, and then coldly snorted: "Do it!"

"Wait!"

Seeing that the three of them were about to take action, Xu Yang shouted loudly.
