Chapter 239 Xu Bai: Start the Show (8000)

The black bottle was open. From Xu Bai's angle, he could see the dark liquid inside.

After the Ten Thousand Poisons were integrated into the Ten Thousand Miscellaneous Arts, it had the level of entering the first level of the Saint.

Now, the potion in front of Xu Bai was mixed with various strange poisons, which were quickly analyzed in his sight.

When various strange poisons were mixed together, they would form a certain commonality and finally reach the level of a chronic poison.

If you take this potion without taking the antidote regularly, you will suffer from the pain of digging your heart, and it will not kill you, but will continue to hurt.

At first, he thought that the ceremony of entering the Mofa Pavilion was too simple. Now it seems that the other party really has a back-up.

Ordinary extraordinary masters would not be able to bear it after drinking this kind of medicine, and this is the key to the Mofa Pavilion controlling these people.

If you can betray when you are poisoned, it is simply a fantasy.

Seeing that Xu Bai did not move, the middle-aged man shook the two small mustaches on his nose: "Drink it. If you don't drink it, get out of here and get out of this city."

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and took the bottle of medicine in his hand: "Everyone drank it, did you drink it too?"

The middle-aged man touched his beard and sneered: "If you want to live and get resources, you have to pay a price. Everyone drank it, even the controller of this branch drank the potion. If you want resources, you can only drink it. If you don't drink it, don't stay here."

The meaning has been explained very clearly, Xu Bai didn't ask any more questions, and drank it directly.

Wanban Zashu has reached the first level of entering the saint. Although this poison can make the strong people in the extraordinary realm fall into it, it is useless to him.

After the poisonous potion entered the body, it turned into mist and tried to drill into Xu Bai's heart, but then, under the surge of true energy, this layer of mist quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Well, you can go after drinking it. This is a book about the rules here. Hurry up and read it. If you haven't finished reading it before the mission comes, then read it during the next break." The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently. After handing the book to Xu Bai, he turned his head to look after the herbs on the corpse.

Xu Bai didn't waste any time. He left the room and found a corner in the yard outside to read it carefully.

He read it very quickly. In a moment, he had understood all the contents of the book.

Most of what the book said were rules and regulations.

In the Mofa Pavilion, all members will get a part of the resources every month. These resources are randomly distributed, and the amount distributed is not high.

But each member will undergo regular assessments. If the assessment is satisfactory, there will be more resources.

This is easy to understand. Xu Bai thought about it for a while and thought, isn't this the difference between basic salary and commission?

The more you do, the more you get, and the less you do, the less you get.

There are evaluation methods for various categories, but in Xu Bai's opinion, this so-called evaluation method is the most unfair to people in the combat category.

The resources obtained by fighting outside are the same as those obtained by leisurely in the city.

Of course, Xu Bai does not pay attention to these things, because everything here will disappear in front of him.

He focused on the content at the end, and the content at the end is about various rules about the combat category.

Anyone who belongs to the combat category should not leave the city when they have nothing to do. If there is a task that needs to be assigned, the big bell in the city will be rung, and anyone who hears it can rush over, and then the person who issues the task will choose it by himself.

The rest is not important.

Xu Bai put the book away casually, and thought of another question.

This place does not seem to provide food and accommodation. Food is not a big deal, but accommodation is estimated to cost resources.

Xu Bai mainly wants to see what the so-called tasks are, and whether he can find useful clues along this task.

So far, the gains from entering this place are the first few books, but after he finished them, they did not bring him much growth.

His main purpose is to explore the various secrets of the golden finger, but now it seems that there is no clue at all.

"Come along, go outside for a walk."

Xu Bai did not find any clues, so he wanted to wait for the next mission to be released, so he went out of the building and wandered around the streets.

Although no one cleaned the streets here, there were crowds of people, and both sides were crowded with people from all walks of life. This scene cannot be seen in the human world.

Xu Bai stopped in front of a stall for a while and found that the various items on it were clearly marked with prices, and the amount of resources required was also clearly written.

He walked to a few more stalls, each of which was the same, but he was not in a hurry, but went from stall to stall to look for it.

Unfortunately, at this time, the resources have begun to run out, and no one regards the secret book as a treasure, so he did not find anything related to the progress bar.

After walking for nearly half an incense stick of time, there was still nothing. When Xu Bai was about to give up, he suddenly heard a shout from the corner in front.

"Help! Help!"

A woman cried.

Xu Bai looked in the direction of the voice and saw a disheveled woman with horrible wounds crawling on the street.

But the woman's screaming did not spread too far before she was stopped by a strong man. The strong man grabbed the woman's ankle and dragged her into a room like a dead dog. Soon, a shrill scream came from the room.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the stalls around.

Every person in the industry seemed not to see it and was still doing their own things, as if the scene just now was commonplace here.

"Well... the resources are exhausted, so a lot of nature is exposed?" Xu Bai thought.

Of course, this is just his guess, but it was soon confirmed by others.

"Before the resources were exhausted, this woman was once a woman of extraordinary masters." A voice sounded from behind.

Xu Bai turned his head and found that it was Gao Guan in white clothes and tall hat.

Gao Guan walked slowly and continued: "Later, the resources were exhausted, and the extraordinary master died on the spot due to the competition for resources. This woman lost her source of resources and found a way out in the Mofa Pavilion."

"She first rented herself out, but later found that the speed of resources was not fast, so she sold herself out, and the person who beat and scolded her just now was the one who bought her."

"Why did you run away?" Xu Bai frowned.

After listening to Gao Guan's words just now, Xu Bai understood. Isn't this a disguised business? The only difference is that this woman sold herself as a commodity.

"When you're here, never believe what you see." Gao Guan laughed, "This woman is not a pushover. She wanted to kill the man in bed and get his resources, but she never expected that the man would buy her back and only make her a resource."

"In short, it's a very complicated matter. You're new here. You just need to know that no one in the Mofa Pavilion deserves your sympathy, because they can come in with blood debts on their hands."

Xu Bai laughed, "Are you the same?"

Gao Guan shrugged, "Almost. Let's go. I'll take you somewhere."

After that, Gao Guan led the way.

Xu Bai didn't ask why, but followed behind. After walking for about an incense stick of time, they came to a teahouse-style place.

"Two people, a pot of good tea." Gao Guan said, "There are no resources today. I've spent them all. How about I give them to you after I get paid this month?"

The boss was a chubby middle-aged man. After hearing Gao Guan's words, he nodded and agreed.

Gao Guan turned around, waved to Xu Bai, and found a seat to sit down.

Xu Bai also sat opposite Gao Guan. Not long after, a waiter came with a teacup and a teapot and put them on the table.

It looked shabby, but Xu Bai just heard that even drinking tea here requires resources.

"Top-quality medicinal materials. The boss here is a tea master, which is an auxiliary type of business. This thing is also a resource, so it needs to be exchanged with resources."

"The Mofa Pavilion allows these businesses here. After all, the resources they get may not be suitable for themselves, so they can just form a transaction."

While talking, Gao Guan poured a cup of tea for Xu Bai and another cup for himself, and then drank it carefully.

Xu Bai also drank a sip. As the tea entered his stomach, he felt that the true energy in his body was running a little faster.

There are many teas of this quality in the world, but it has become a scarce thing here, which shows how exhausted the resources are.

"Let's talk business!" After Xu Bai finished drinking the cup of tea, he put it down and looked at Gao Guan with interest, saying calmly: "There is no such thing as a free lunch. You are buying tea here on credit, so it may not be as simple as drinking tea."

Gao Guan nodded, without any hesitation, and said directly: "I just want to ask you for advice on how to control corpses."

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

How did this guy know that he could control corpses?

This time period is completely different from the previous time. Logically speaking, the two have not even met.

"It's strange, isn't it?" Gao Guan said: "Here, everything about you can't escape the eyes of the Mofa Pavilion, such as your strength, the things you change your appearance, and the fact that you killed so many people."

Xu Bai was slightly shocked.

The words Gao Guan said just now revealed all the things he had done before.

But he did it very secretly, and his soul scanned it, and he didn't sense that there were outsiders.

Why was he discovered?

Even in the end, the people he killed did not leave any trace.

Seeing that Xu Bai did not answer, Gao Guan came to the window and pointed to the building that Xu Bai had just visited: "There is a holy treasure there, and it is a holy treasure based on the soul, which can sense everything around, and this is in the hands of the city lord."

"So when you killed those people and entered the city, you had attracted the attention of the city lord, but for some reason, the city lord did not care about these things."

Xu Bai frowned more and more tightly when he heard this: "Why do you know?"

If according to what Gao Guan said just now, there is a holy treasure here, then it can indeed detect me.

After all, my real strength has not reached the level of a saint, but what Gao Guan meant just now is that he also knows about this.

To give a very simple example, the city lord knows what he has done, but he may not tell others, because neither the guards nor the middle-aged man with two mustaches know about his situation.

Only Gao Guan knows, and he also called him here for tea, so what is Gao Guan's intention? Or what is his identity?

Gao Guan turned his head and said solemnly: "I am one of the city lord's concubines."

"Puff!"

Xu Bai couldn't help but spit out the tea he had just taken.

"I owe you this for drinking. Don't waste it." Gao Guan looked at the tea sprayed on the ground and said with a distressed face.

Xu Bai coughed twice and interrupted: "Don't mention the tea first. What did you say just now? Concubine? The city lord is a woman?"

The so-called concubine, to put it bluntly, means male favorite and male concubine.

If this is the case, Gao Guan can be regarded as the city lord's bedside man, and it is normal to know this news.

But the question is why such a concubine, who is still "one of them", was assigned to the combat category?

With this identity, he should have been assigned to other categories without danger, and it is impossible to take this risk.

Gao Guan seemed to see what Xu Bai was thinking, and said, "There are always times when I am not favored. I did something wrong, so I was punished to this category."

"For those of us in this line of work, the most unbearable thing is that the bodies are not buried, so I buried those who died in the battle. Because of the burial, these bodies cannot be used to grow herbs, so it has become the current situation."

Xu Bai: "..."

Good guy, this is an occupational disease, right?

Gao Guan continued: "I have been trapped in this realm for a long time. After knowing that you can control the corpse, I think this is an opportunity for us to communicate. To be honest, I didn't know it when I led you before. It was only after you entered the room that the city lord suddenly told me."

"By the way, you will definitely not be able to sense her appearance, because she carries the sacred treasure of the soul, so she is not afraid of the soul's detection."

Xu Bai touched his chin, and did not answer the discussion with Gao Guan about the corpse control method, but thought about what Gao Guan said just now.

The divine soul treasure, it sounds like it is not the one-time divine treasure given by General Mu before, this thing should be quite powerful.

Including now, I am communicating with Gao Guan here, and it is estimated that the city lord knows it.

But the question is, why doesn't the city lord come to see him?

Logically speaking, after doing such a big thing, there should be some action, but he did not feel any abnormality.

"It's strange, it's strange to me, but she just won't come to you." Gao Guan shrugged and said, "Or, let's discuss the method of controlling corpses."

"Not interested." Xu Bai shook his head.

With this kind of thing, how can he have other interests?

Xu Bai is now in the ruins, everything here is unsafe.

Although he has not encountered a master of the divine level yet, the city lord of this branch has the divine treasure.

At present, he only knows that it is related to the divine soul, but he doesn't know anything else.

For example, the level of this treasure.

If it was only the first level of the Saint, it would be nothing, but what if it was higher?

The most important thing was that the city lord didn't seem to come to him. How should he deal with it now?

The more Xu Bai thought about it, the deeper he got. He had no clue. It was useless to think about it.

"I want to see the city lord."

After thinking for a long time, he raised his head.

Gao Guan was stunned and didn't understand what this meant.

"The city lord has many lovers. You wouldn't think..."

"I just want to see him." Xu Bai said.

He suddenly thought of something just now. The city lord told Gao Guan about his situation. It must not be accidental. He did it on purpose. Gao Guan approached him. It was probably the city lord's doing.

In this case, he might as well meet him directly and see what the situation is.

After all, if he didn't take action at the first time, there would be other things.

Gao Guan frowned: "Do you really want to see him?"

Xu Bai nodded to confirm.

Gao Guan looked at Xu Bai with a complicated look. After a moment, he turned around and said, "Come with me."

Xu Bai didn't waste any words and followed Gao Guan.

The two of them went back to the previous building one after the other. This time, with Gao Guan's guidance, they came to the backyard of the building without any effort.

"Wait here for a while, I'll knock on the door." Gao Guan said.

As he said that, he came to the door and knocked on the door gently.

A moment later, a soft female voice came from inside.

"Bring him in."

It seemed that he already knew that Xu Bai was coming, which was normal, after all, he had the treasure of the soul.

The door was pushed open by Gao Guan, who stretched out his hand to lead it in, meaning to let Xu Bai in.

Xu Bai nodded and walked in. At this time, Gao Guan closed the door from the outside.

Because it was broad daylight, the room did not seem dark. When Xu Bai walked in, he saw a woman.

The woman was wearing a light gauze, without clothes inside, and could vaguely see some things that should not be seen.

There was no one else here except this woman. Xu Bai knew that this woman should be the city lord, so he bowed.

"Meet the city lord."

"Just call me City Lord Si." The woman was barefoot, and her smooth and white instep was slightly arched, forming an attractive arc.

"Come here."

Xu Bai did not move.

City Lord Si smiled, but was not angry, and stood up.

As she stood up, the veil on her body swayed, a little loose, and more scenery could be seen.

"It seems that you have made up your mind." City Lord Si came to Xu Bai and smiled.

"I know what you want to know, so I will tell you the truth."

"I deliberately revealed this news to Gao Guan, just to see your reaction and whether you have the courage to come to see me."

"If you didn't think of coming to see me, it proves that you are not smart enough. If you thought of it but didn't come, it proves that you are not brave enough."

"Now that you are here, that's enough."

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes: "Since I am here, I have to make some things clear. I don't know what the city lord means?"

Sure enough, there is a trick, and the final result is to lead himself here.

City Lord Si put his hands on Xu Bai's shoulders: "You killed so many people by yourself, your strength makes people look sideways. I have a business to discuss with you now. As long as you do it well, you can use my resources at will."

"Including me."

As he said, City Lord Si licked his lips.

Xu Bai had no interest in this City Lord Si, let alone those so-called resources. He was only interested in the progress bar and the secrets about the ruins.

As for the Si City Lord, I'm sorry, he has two exclusive luxury cars at home, and he doesn't want to take this bus.

"Tell me about it." Xu Bai moved the hand of the Si City Lord on his shoulder away: "As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."

The Si City Lord took two steps back, turned around and came to the drawer in the room, took out a map from the drawer, unfolded it and put it on the table.

"Here is a hilltop 200 miles away from this city. It is said that a master of the Saint level died here, so many resources are left here."

She stretched out her finger, pointed to a location on the map, and said slowly.

"This information was obtained from the headquarters, and it is absolutely reliable. After all, there are three masters at the level of Saints in the headquarters."

"And the reason why this master died was because of the headquarters. It was a pity that he was not killed on the spot. He ran away and hid in this mountain. He died because of his serious injuries."

"But this Saint master was good at formations. Before he died, he used all his resentment to set up a formation. Even if a Saint wanted to enter, it would take a lot of energy. Now the resources are exhausted, it is not cost-effective."

After hearing this, Xu Bai had sorted out the whole story.

"You don't think that I can break the formation set by a Saint master who counterattacked before his death?"

City Lord Si shook his head and said, "Of course I didn't ask you to break the formation. After so long, the formation has been worn out a lot. I thought I could get it smoothly, but I didn't expect that the fallen Saint master thought of this."

"He changed the formation into a split form. Once the formation is worn out to a certain extent, it will explode, and all the resources inside will extend and scatter in all directions."

"The headquarters is facing a problem now, and the Saint master will not come out, so we will mobilize people from the branch."

"Although all the resources obtained will be handed over, we have the final say on how much to hand over."

As City Lord Si spoke slowly, Xu Bai also understood what he was thinking.

In simple terms, he wanted to get kickbacks.

Get some resources, then only hand over a small part, and keep the rest for yourself.

"But if it scatters everywhere, I can't catch much by myself."

That's what he said, and that's the truth. He doesn't know how to split himself, so how can he catch it?

City Lord Si stretched and said, "Who said I asked you to get it? There is a route from getting the resources to handing them in, and what we have to do is to cut off the handed-in resources in the middle, so that we can get the real benefits."

After hearing this, Xu Bai exclaimed, "What a guy."

He originally thought it was a kickback, but he didn't expect it was a black-on-black fight.

This woman has a big heart and is very greedy.

If this is true, then the resources obtained are really too much.

Think about it carefully, the people in other branches grabbed the resources, and then gathered together to prepare to hand them in to the headquarters, and they took a lot of effort.

But on the way, they were robbed by others, and all the efforts were gone.

On the other hand, City Lord Si returned with a full load.

"How about it, my method is good, right?" City Lord Si said, "There are too many rubbish in our branch, and you are very strong, just competent, don't worry, after you finish this, I will erase all traces and will never let you expose it."

Xu Bai sneered in his heart, but did not show it on the surface.

This woman has a lot of plans, and they are very clear.

Will never expose him?

This sentence is just for talk.

If it is really released, everyone who hears it will be a fool.

If this thing succeeds, Xu Bai can be used as a scapegoat and pushed out by City Lord Si.

But... he is interested.

Of course, it is not just the so-called saint resources.

Xu Bai pretended to be serious: "When do we leave?"

"Don't worry..." City Lord Si said: "Before you go, you have to do one thing."

While speaking, City Lord Si stretched out his hand to touch his hair, and a green hairpin emerged and pierced towards Xu Bai's eyebrows.

Xu Bai grabbed City Lord Si's wrist with his backhand: "This is the soul-type saint treasure, it's really good."

It looks like an ordinary hairpin, but Xu Bai can feel that there is a terrifying energy in it.

"Let me prick you once, let me leave a mark in your soul, so that you and I can rest assured." Although the wrist of City Lord Si was taken away by Xu Bai, he was still calm, as if he was very confident in the treasure in his hand.

Xu Bai stared at the hairpin and said, "You can't use it all the time, after all, you are not strong enough."

City Lord Si did not speak, just looked at Xu Bai.

"At the beginning, I didn't understand whether this treasure had other functions, but I can see from your use just now that it can only attack the soul." Xu Bai's tone became lighter.

City Lord Si's face gradually became colder.

Xu Bai ignored the expression on Si Chengzhu's face and continued, "You are very smart and your guesses are correct. I came here to confront you, but more to talk about your strengths and weaknesses. Now, I have found out."

"If you can directly activate this holy treasure, you may not need to say so much to me, just control me directly, but you have to say so much, which proves that with your strength, you can't activate it directly, but need a certain process."

"The time you spent talking just now should be enough for you to perform, right?"

At this point, Xu Bai saw that Si Chengzhu's face was already cold.

"Hehe..." Si Chengzhu gently rotated the hairpin with his fingers, and didn't seem to worry about being seen through by Xu Bai at all.

"It's too late. You just found out now, but I have successfully activated it, and you just said a lot to me, which gives me more time."

There was a bright green light flashing on the hairpin, making people dizzy.

"Gao Guan said that you can't trust anyone, and he was right." Xu Bai suddenly let go of his hand.

This action made Si Chengzhu stunned. He couldn't figure out why he suddenly let her go. Was he going to give up?

Si Chengzhu was very suspicious. Xu Bai's open arms made her hesitate.

Xu Bai smiled and pointed at his head: "Come on, go here, use your greatest strength to destroy my soul, or control my soul."

In fact, this is Xu Bai's biggest reliance.

When he knew that Si Chengzhu's treasure was a treasure related to the soul, he had already made this plan.

Soul?

Sorry, even the white-robed prime minister of the Great Yue Kingdom, a master at the peak of the sainthood, can't do anything to me in terms of the soul?

You are a small treasure of the sainthood, can you compare with the master at the peak of the sainthood?

Come on.

Do me!

Xu Bai looked sarcastic, making people want to step on his face.

Lord Si was ridiculed by Xu Bai repeatedly, and finally couldn't control himself.

"Okay, since you want to be controlled by me so much, I will fulfill your wish."

Saying this, Lord Si continued to activate the green hairpin.

The next moment, it was very quiet.

Xu Bai felt something drilled into his mind, but it was soon swallowed by his soul.

Lord Si: "..."

Xu Bai: "..."

Well, it turns out that this holy treasure is not even qualified to let Xiao Jin out.

"What grade is this thing?" Xu Bai asked.

"First grade..." City Lord Si answered subconsciously in panic.

There was no way. This was the first time he felt panic. According to common sense, even if the self-protection of the holy level was only first grade, it should be a crushing blow to the extraordinary level, but now it was abnormal.

Xu Bai sighed: "That's still too low."

The skill of Wanban Attack has been upgraded to the first level of the holy level.

He is indeed only the strength of the ninth grade of the extraordinary level now, but his skills are at the first level of the holy level, and there is a skill in the Wanban Gongfa, which is the skill of soul killing.

This was the skill that Xu Bai used to activate the golden finger, and it has a powerful soul attack and defense ability.

Now it seems that the two seem to cancel each other out.

"Take it!" Xu Bai stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the green hairpin fell directly into his hand.

Although it is only at the first level of the Saint, a mosquito is still meat no matter how small it is. Giving this hairpin to Chu Ling and Ye Zi can increase their safety.

"Give it back to me!" City Lord Si shouted.

But the next moment, she felt something flowing in her soul and soon became sluggish.

"Without this hairpin, you are really a waste, but you are still useful now, and I have to keep you." Xu Bai put away the green hairpin and looked at the controlled City Lord Si with a slight smile on his face.

Now, this city is no longer in danger.

I, Xu Bai, started.

The soul spread, covering the entire city with a very terrifying trend.
