C2612 Suspected Old Man's Trace
So bustling, it really is the holy land's qi image! This was the first feeling that Lin Bai and Zhuo Cai had after arriving at the market.
Before this, when he was still in the secular world, Lin Bai had also participated in the trading event that was held at the Gem Gate, as well as in some of the secret trading events. However, compared to the market, those trading conferences were nothing.
To be more accurate, by the standards of the secular world, the Gem Gate and the underworld trade fair were more like a small shop, while the Wanxiang Market was a large chain shopping mall. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
However, what made Lin Bai surprised was that after he, Shang Zhuo, and Jin Bao Hong arrived at the entrance of the city square, the two disciples guarding the gate wouldn't charge him any fees at all. Ever since he had entered the Immortal World, he had plundered and extorted money. Lin Bai had seen many cases of this. However, this was the first time he had encountered someone who didn't want money even though he had brought it to his side.
Although Lin Bai brought Shang Zhuo to a clothing store in the Divine City before they arrived at the marketplace and picked out two sets of clothes that were of extraordinary quality, he did not think that these two gatekeeping disciples would not charge the entrance fee just because of the clothes.
Just as Lin Bai was filled with doubt, from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the two guards in front of him. Although their expressions were normal, a trace of fear was clearly reflected in their eyes as they looked into the depths of his gaze.
Seeing this trace of fear, Lin Bai immediately understood why this kind of money was delivered to his hand, yet he still refused to accept it. It was not because they knew what had happened to the two gatekeeping disciples that they were guarding the Divine City. They also knew from someone else the relationship between Lin Bai and the Heaven's Desire and the Ten Thousand Year Holy Maiden. Thus, they did not dare to take money.
Other people's money would be taken away once they received it, but the spirit stones that Lin Bai took out were like hot potatoes to them. From their point of view, although Lin Bai was determined to pay the entrance fee, if any conflicts were to occur, the two of them would end up like Sun Kong and Sha Jing, having their front teeth broken by Lin Bai and would have nothing to complain about.
After understanding this, Lin Bai did not insist. He chuckled and brought Shang Zhuo and Jin Baohong into the city square. Moreover, he clearly saw that as soon as he entered the marketplace, the two gatekeeping disciples even let out a long sigh of relief, as though a boulder had dropped from their hearts.
His cultivation and status determined everything in the Immortal World! Looking at the two of them, Lin Bai was also deeply moved in his heart. Even though the mortal world was essentially the same as the Immortal World, it wasn't much different. But at least there is morality and the bondage of the law, and nothing dares to go too far. However, the Immortal World tore off all the masks, and revealed the most basic of things to the people.
This kind of world was the most cruel. If it was before he had entered the Divine City, if Lin Bai's cultivation was not good and he did not have a way to deal with it, he would be a dead man by now. However, if it was not by chance, he had a relationship with Thoughtless Seeking, and even if he managed to escape the calamity at the entrance of the Divine City, countless disciples of the Heavenly Passage would scrape him.
And the more it was like this, the more certain Lin Bai was that he had to do everything possible to increase his own strength. Otherwise, what awaited him in the Celestial Realm would be endless danger and death.
Although he sighed in his heart, Lin Bai's footsteps were not slow. Very soon, he entered the marketplace. Although the sky outside the market was somewhat dark now, it was unknown what method the Myriad Manifestation Paradise had used. Although there were no lights in the market, the light was like day and it caused one to be unable to feel the attack of the dark night.
Moreover, the large number of people in the market was beyond one's imagination. There were many stalls and there were quite a number of people walking back and forth in front of each stall. There were a large number of people walking back and forth.
Lin Bai was in no hurry to buy anything. Instead, he brought Shang Zhuo and Jin Baohong along as he continuously scanned the stalls, wanting to see what was different from the secular world and if there was anything that could attract people.
From what he saw, the majority of the people who set up the stalls were people of the Huiyang realm, and the items they laid out were mostly used by those of the Huiyang realm. It could be said that they were very few in number, and those that he thought were not bad were often set up at a high price.
Why was the Immortal World like this? However, after Lin Bai entered the Immortal World, the suspicion in his heart became deeper and deeper. Before, when he was in the mortal world, he had some complaints about the existence of the Celestial Realm. However, that was only due to the personality of the people in the Immortal World. He believed that the resources in the Immortal World should be thousands of times more profound than those in the mortal and hidden realms.
As far as he was concerned, everything was not as he had anticipated when he was still living in the mortal world. Although the Celestial Realm had plenty of spiritual energy, it seemed to have very few resources. Some of the more common things that could be found in the hidden worlds could be considered as treasures even in the Celestial Realm. Many people viewed them as treasures and set them up for sale at a high price.
However, this doubt was quickly answered by Lin Bai after a short moment. All of this was caused by the Immortal World's innate law of the jungle. Because of this sort of cruel competition, it created a situation where the rich and the poor were divided.
With your power and status, you will be able to occupy more resources in the Immortal World. If your cultivation is low and your status is low, you will not be able to obtain enough resources to increase your cultivation. Such a mechanism caused the stronger ones to become stronger and the weaker ones to become weaker. Even protecting themselves became a problem, so how could they have any extraordinary accumulation?
The poor became poorer, the weak became weaker, and even their descendants were poorer. Unless they had extraordinary encounters or extraordinary talent, it was impossible to change all of this. This situation was very similar to some countries in the mortal world that were undergoing changes. It was even more brutal than some countries.
"Motherf * cker, this time we really have bad luck!" After working hard for a few years, he had finally accumulated some things. He had originally wanted to wait until the opening of the market and come over to exchange for some things, but he did not expect that he would run into a dead liar along the way. "F * ck, after all this bluffing, he actually tricked all of my savings. I really want to pay my respects to his eighteen generations of ancestors!"
"Bro, you're not the only one who got tricked by that damn swindler. As far as I know, at least dozens of people who came to participate in the gathering all fell at the hands of that swindler, including some Qianyuan experts!" Is he pretending to be a senior expert of the Non-Phase Realm so that he could give you a great deal of luck and sell you at a high price for a few amazing hidden treasure immortal diagrams? "
"Who else could he be other than that damn swindler? But that bastard is really strange. He even told me about me peeing on the brick bed when I was young. I can't believe it!" "Bastard, don't ever fall in my hands in the future, otherwise, I will definitely pull your tendons and skin out, and then blow you up in a frying pan!"
Just as Lin Bai was pondering, he heard a faint wave of angry curses. From their words, it seemed like they had been ruthlessly cut by someone, tricking even their accumulated savings.
And looking at the crowd, it seemed like there were quite a few people who had been tricked by the swindler. However, as far as Lin Bai was concerned, the reason why a swindler could swindle others was due to the swindler's skill and skill, and the second reason was probably because of their greed. If these people were not so greedy, how could they have fallen for swindlers?
Liar, the matter of peeing on the brick bed is easy to fool! Lin Bai's heart tightened all of a sudden when he heard these people talking at once. The image that these people depicted was very similar to Wu Liang, that heartless person. Furthermore, as far as Lin Bai was concerned, only Wu Liang, who could fool even a living Buddha, could deceive these people.
However, what confused Lin Bai was that according to what these people said, apart from his sharp tongue, most of the reason why that swindler could deceive them was because he had revealed a method similar to that of a Formless Stage expert. As far as he knew, Wu Liang was good at deceiving others in the future, but he didn't have the ability to do so.
However, this couldn't be ruled out. After entering the Immortal World, Wu Liang must have gotten some sort of special treatment.
"Fellow daoists, I wonder if the swindler you're talking about is a twenty-year-old young man with a wretched appearance and sharp tongue?" Whether it was Wu Liang or not, it was obvious with a single question. Lin Bai pondered for a moment before moving closer to those people.
"A twenty year old young man?" After those people who were blaming the swindler heard this, they shook their heads in astonishment and said, "Although that damn swindler did say that, with his sharp tongue, he is not a young man. Instead, he is an old man with a full beard and white hair.
It didn't seem to be Wu Liang anymore. He was just a young lad, how could he possibly have wrinkles on his face? When Lin Bai heard this, he immediately felt a little disappointed.
"What? Fellow Daoist, you've been tricked by a young swindler. What did he trick you with?" Among them, Lin Bai's expression was gloomy. He immediately felt as if they were both in the end of the world. He comforted, "Brother, don't worry about it. It's just a matter of money being taken care of."
When Lin Bai saw this, he could only make up some nonsense and say that the young swindler had cheated him of a low-grade spirit stone. When they heard his words, these people became even more indignant. As they angrily shouted at him, saying things like "the world is going down and people's hearts are not the same as in the past," they firmly decided that once they caught the dead swindler, they would skin him alive.
Lin Bai laughed involuntarily upon hearing this. A swindler could cheat, so naturally they were smart. Since they had succeeded, how could they hide from the eyes of others?
"Senior Mu, there's someone selling Dark Abyssal Rocks …" At this moment, Jin Baohong rushed over. Although he had lowered his voice, his voice was filled with an unconcealable joy.
