an hour later.

Li Yao was walking alone on the street intoxicated by the night wind, thinking of He Lianlie's face full of lobsters, scallops and sea cucumbers, running away with his tail between his legs, he couldn't help it anymore, and burst out laughing.

His life had unexpectedly undergone such a wonderful reversal in one day and one night, within no more than thirty hours!

A day ago, when he faced He Lianlie, he was like a rabbit facing a hungry wolf. He had no room to resist, and he couldn't even breathe easily.

A day later, he made He Lianlie fall into a shit, forcing the "male god" of Chixiao No. 2 Middle School to run away.

If the girls in school who are obsessed with He Lianlie saw it, they would all be so shocked that their jaws would dislocate!

Is there a more miraculous reversal in the world than this

As for Zheng Dongming's warning, he didn't take it to heart.

From the depths of Li Yao's bone marrow, an inexplicable self-confidence infiltrated faintly. He believed that even if he was not Helian Lie's opponent right now, as long as he practiced for a period of time, he would definitely be able to open up an infinitely broad world and make Helian Lie Step on it hard!

"Helian Lie, yesterday you called me 'garbage', and today you want to slap me. I will keep these two things firmly in my heart."

"There are only three things. If you are honest, tighten your bones and tuck your tail to be a man, don't provoke me again. I have a lot of adults, and I don't bother to take care of you."

"But if you persist in your obsession and still dangle in front of me, 'Vulture Li Yao', your end will not be as simple as it is today!"

Unknowingly, Li Yao's body was surrounded by the chilling aura from a powerful ancient cultivator 46,000 years ago.

He originally planned to go back and take a good rest, and go to the underground ghost market to buy counterfeit strengthening potions tomorrow, but at this moment, he suddenly changed his mind and walked towards the lifting platform leading to the ground.

There are only ninety-nine days left before the college entrance examination.

He has to race against time, seize every bit of time to practice, and become a blockbuster in the college entrance examination!

"Helian Lie, didn't you say that the students in our ordinary class are all trash and garbage? If I, this 'garbage', actually get better grades than you in the college entrance examination, then you—— What is it?"

The underground ghost market is a unique landscape belonging to the civilian class in every big city in the federation.

Comprehension 40,000 years was not peaceful, the wars between Zhengdao and demons, humans and monsters, and various forces never subsided, and the Star Federation was also in a state of war for a long time.

Every major cultivation town in the Federation dug thousands of feet of land when it was first established to build shelters, air-raid shelters, sewers, and ventilation shafts.

Various underground facilities communicate with each other and are intricately composed, like dark battle castles and underground city pools in a maze, and store a large amount of food, water and survival necessities, sealed with spiritual shields, and always kept in the freshest state.

In the most extreme situation, even if the ground is completely occupied by the monster army, humans can still retreat to the underground fortress, and various supplies are enough to support hundreds of thousands of people for more than ten years.

And the magic weapons and flying swords hidden in the most secret place "underground arsenal" can organize an army of 100,000 in an instant, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

However, in the Tianyuan Realm, right now is the golden age of great prosperity for humanity. The Xingyao Federation has continued to expand its territory for hundreds of years, destroying mountains and temples, and aggressively attacking. The former military town on the border has gradually become the hinterland. The underground fortress also unknowingly lost its military significance.

I don't know since when, many poor classes have slowly eroded the underground space and survived and multiplied underground.

Perhaps at the beginning, they were forced by the high housing prices on the ground and the high cost of living, and had no choice but to flee underground, but they soon discovered that the underground world is well-equipped and spacious, which is better than the slums on the ground much.

In this way, more and more people live underground. After hundreds of years of development, the underground world has been built into a "paradise" that is less prosperous, but far more noisy and lively than the ground.

This is a gray area wandering on the edge of the law, with a unique order and style.

To put it simply, in the underground ghost market, the origin of the goods may be a little bit unknown, the living environment may be a little bit worse, theft may be a little bit more, and the food may be a little bit unhygienic.

But as long as you can ignore these insignificant "a little bit", you can enjoy the extremely low cost of living, and thousands of styles that are completely different from the ground world.

"Bang bang bang," the ancient psionic lift trembled violently, making a monotonous crashing sound, and descended towards the underground ghost city hundreds of meters deep.

The air gradually became a little cloudy, mixed with the intoxicating smell of a few wisps of cheap perfume.

Li Yao took a deep breath, like a fish that had been bouncing on the shore for a long time returned to the water, his whole body "lived".

Compared with the "Upper East Side", he prefers to hang out in the underground ghost market. If it is not for the convenience of picking up waste in the tomb of magic weapons, he will definitely choose to rent a house directly in the underground ghost market, and the rent can be half cheaper.

Three minutes later, the psychic elevator stopped at the entrance of a crowded market. Li Yao forcefully pulled open the rusty iron fence. A mass of ecstatic burnt fragrance.

The structure of each underground ghost city is similar, following the original military fortress rules, and marking the area with numbers.

What Li Yao entered was area 59.

This is a very famous gourmet street. The ingredients of dubious origin are cooked into the famous "ghost food" through various unimaginable methods. As long as you don't delve into the production method, it is guaranteed to be so rare that you can even swallow your tongue.

Steaming lard paste rice cakes... Golden fried stinky tofu... Blood sausage made of garlic, pig blood and horse meat. Go to the black crystal salt powder that is a special product in the Northwest Monster Wilderness. Take a quick bite while your mouth is hot. Shutai, every pore emits milk, it really wouldn't change for a big Luo Jinxian!

It is said that many cultivators can't help the desire of "ghost eating", and often come here to eat in a different way.

Even though he had just eaten a sumptuous buffet an hour ago, Li Yao couldn't help but twitch his index finger. He bought five skewers of fried blood sausage in mutton oil, and stood in front of the stall, squinting his eyes to enjoy it.

A lady in her thirties with a baby in her arms squeezed over and greeted him in a low voice: "Young man, do you want jade slips?"

The eldest sister took out a cowhide bag from under her swaddling baby, reached in with her fat hand, grabbed three jade slips, and spread them in her palm.

These three jade slips are crystal clear, radiant, aura lingering, and colorful ripples, which converge into three names in front of Li Yao's eyes:

"Female Cultivator Bai Jie", "Young Sword Fairy Abin", "The Cunning Master of Alchemy".

"Too old, I've seen it all." Li Yao glanced at it, unmoved.

"It's different. This is a high-definition version re-refined by powerful practitioners. Each jade slip contains hundreds of thousands of divine thoughts. The clarity is ten times higher. Every hair can be seen clearly. Guaranteed Boy, you can’t forget it when you see it, and you want it even more!” the eldest sister enthusiastically introduced.

"... Forget it, I'm really sorry I came out to hang out without any money, and I will definitely take care of my eldest sister's business later."

After finally dismissing the eldest sister who sold the jade slips, and finishing the five skewers of blood sausage, Li Yao wiped his mouth contentedly, and walked into the public toilet in the corner of the food street without haste.
