After Chu Mo sat down, he ordered a jug of wine and two small dishes, and then listened to the conversation of the people in the tavern with his ears up.
"Hey, have you heard? Recently, a fairy beast at the peak of the Mahayana stage appeared on the Nanling Mountains. It is said that the fairy beast is full of treasures, but it is very fierce. No!"
"What is that? An ancient relic was unearthed at Dongguan? It's a real ancient relic! It's a pity that it was occupied by people from the Nether Ancient Sect, and no one can enter."
"I've also heard about this incident, it seems that something amazing was found there!"
"Who knows, there are actually many ancient relics in our fairyland, but most of them are of little value. After all, the ancient times are too far away, and there are even fewer things that can survive today!"
"But any thing that can survive to this day is extraordinary!"
"That's true, but who dares to snatch things from the Ancient Nether Cult?"
"Hehe... also."
At the next table, there were several monks in Taoist robes, all of whom seemed to be in their forties or fifties. His face is full of the vicissitudes left by the years, and his realm is not particularly high at first glance. The strongest one has just entered the stage of refining gods.
The others are all Nascent Soul stage monks.
Chu Mo secretly judged in his heart that these people should all be casual cultivators in this fairy world.
At this time, one of the monks in the Nascent Soul stage suddenly lowered his voice, and whispered to the people at the same table: "Do you want to go to that ancient ruins?"
"Are you looking for death? If people from the Ancient Nether Sect find out, there is still a way to survive?" Another Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly said with fear, "We haven't lived enough yet."
"Nonsense, I haven't lived enough!" The Nascent Soul cultivator who just spoke raised his eyebrows: "I mean... If I have a way to get in, do you want to go?"
"What do you mean? Tell me." The cultivator at the stage of cultivating gods finally spoke, with a look of excitement in his eyes.
"That's right, I have a friend who is a disciple of the Nether Ancient Sect. Two days ago, he told me that the ancient ruins he discovered were quite huge! It is simply a small world inside! If you want to thoroughly explore such a place, Not only does it require a lot of manpower and material resources, but it also needs to take great risks!" The monk in the Nascent Soul realm whispered.
"Risk? What kind of risk will there be in the ancient ruins? Eternal ages have passed... Even if there is anything, it is already dead, right?" someone said.
"No, the small world of the ancient ruins is a small world that can operate on its own, and there are many creatures in it. But most of them are not powerful, but... there are still dangers. I heard from my friend that the people they sent in earlier , There have already been casualties." said the Nascent Soul cultivator.
"You mean... the Ancient Nether Sect wants to find someone from outside to explore the ancient ruins? But why is there no news?" asked the cultivator at the stage of refining gods, frowning.
"This is inside news! I guess they will release the news soon." Nascent Soul cultivator said: "I mean, if you have ideas, I can arrange for us to go in first through my friend. Otherwise , when the news comes out, I am afraid there will be a lot of people responding."
The people at the wine table all became pensive.
They didn't question their companions' words, such as why there were so many responders when there was danger. Of course, there are huge benefits in this!
If there is no benefit, no one will go even if there is no danger. If there are huge benefits, even if they may die inside, there will be a large number of responders!
There are countless casual cultivators like them in the fairy world, and those who are capable will naturally find various resources by themselves. But more people... The resources at hand simply cannot meet the consumption caused by their cultivation. So what to do
Either go around and rob other weak practitioners. But this kind of thing will be caught sooner or later. Once you encounter a powerful one, it is a dead end.
Either join a certain sect, or enter a certain family, but in this way, it is tantamount to losing freedom. Moreover, their cultivation base is not too high, even if they join the sect and enter the family, they will not be taken seriously. In some dangerous times, they will still be used as cannon fodder.
Therefore, this group of people would rather be a free casual cultivator. Although resources are scarce, freedom is better. No one will force them to do anything.
Loose practice has the benefits of casual practice, but it also has a lot of troubles. Therefore, they usually would not give up the opportunity of being hired to explore ancient ruins.
Afterwards, the cultivator at the stage of refining gods finally asked, "How to divide?"
"Yijiu." Nascent Soul cultivator said: "This is already the greatest benefit that my friend can win for us! When the news is announced, I'm afraid there will only be some fairy crystals as rewards!"
"One nine...not high!" The cultivator at the stage of refining the gods sucked his teeth, with a helpless expression on his face.
"It doesn't seem high, but judging by how much they value it, there should be something good in it!" Cultivator Nascent Soul said, "If there is really a special magic weapon, or a scripture, or a formula of alchemy Such things, the value... is far beyond what Immortal Crystal can measure! If it is a prescription or a scripture, we can even write it down secretly! When the time comes... "
He didn't continue to say anything, but everyone present understood that if this was the case, then they were really developed!
Although this may be just a good wish or even just a fantasy, but people are alive... If there is no wish at all, it is too boring.
"Okay, it's done, you go and tell your friend." The cultivator at the stage of refining gods said, and glanced at the people around him.
The conversation between them did not use sound transmission, and naturally many people in the tavern heard it.
Some people also showed emotion on their faces.
Sure enough, as soon as the cultivator in the refining stage finished speaking, a big bearded man in the tavern stood up and clasped his fists at their table: "Fellow daoists, can you take me with you? I'm Nascent Soul At the peak level, if a few fellow Taoists are willing to take me in, I am willing to offer a hundred pieces of immortal crystals!"
As the bearded man said, he took out a small storage bag from his body, opened it, and there was a burst of energy fluctuations inside. Then he asked, "How?"
"One hundred celestial crystals..." The eyes of this cultivator at the stage of refining the gods were a little straightened.
The bearded man over there mistakenly thought that he was too small, frowned, and said: "That's all I have on me, so how about it, if I can gain something from it, I can give you another tenth!"
"Ah? Seriously?" The cultivator came back to his senses immediately, and looked at the bearded man in surprise.
The bearded man said: "My lord, Li Fu, if you have lived here for a long time, you should have heard of my name. I always keep my word."
"So you are fellow Taoist Li Fu, and you have been famous for a long time!" After hearing this name, the cultivator at the stage of cultivating gods stood up and cupped his fists at Li Fu.
A smile appeared on Li Fu's face: "So, is it okay?"
The cultivator at the stage of refining the gods took a look at the Nascent Soul cultivator who claimed to have a brother in the Nether Ancient Sect, and the latter nodded immediately: "No problem!"
"Boss, can you bring me one?"
"I also have fairy crystals... can you add me, brother?"
"I don't have so many fairy crystals, but if I gain something in it, I'm willing to give half of it to express my gratitude to a few fellow daoists."
"Senior..."
In the tavern, there were only dozens of people, almost half of them, and they all became restless.
