The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Lu Liang had just finished wiping halfway when he was caught. He felt extremely embarrassed, but his expression remained the same as usual.

Lu Liang turned his head and looked at Li Mei. He gritted his teeth and said in a tough tone, "I don't need you to interfere in my work. I have brought the catalog. I hope there are good things in it. This is related to my reputation as a young master."

What Lu Liang said was different from what Li Qing said, but he had no choice. Now that his identity as the second generation of immortal might have been discovered, he could only make up for it.

Unfortunately, Lu Liang didn't know that Li Mei had already known what he said to Wang Ming. She was a junior of the Jindan cultivator just a moment ago, and now she was the junior's servant.

These contradictory words made Li Mei even more convinced that there was something wrong with Lu Liang.

Hearing this, Li Mei's face froze for a moment, but immediately returned to normal, she smiled, walked forward, and handed over the catalog in her hand: "Sir, these are all the second-level wind spiritual objects in this building. They are all extremely helpful to wind-attributed monsters."

Originally, the atlases were all reproduced in jade slips, and one could know all the contents with just a scan of the divine sense. However, considering that this second-generation immortal was just a mortal, she had a lot of trouble finding this atlas.

Lu Liang quickly put his clothes in order without blushing or beating his heart, took the catalogue, and immediately glanced at the second-level treasures in the catalogue.

Both of them tacitly concealed the matter and no one mentioned it again.

Thanks to the efficacy of the spiritual tea, Lu Liang was able to remain calm, perfectly suppressing his panic and responding calmly. Otherwise, his expression would have shown something strange, exposing his true colors.

In fact, Li Qing had already told Lu Liang what he wanted to buy. He asked for the catalog only because he didn't want others to know that he came here specifically to buy spiritual objects.

At this moment, Li Mei began to doubt the authenticity of Lu Liang's identity, and she also had some guesses about what had just happened in the private room, but it was not a good idea to do so in Wanbao Tower.

Seeing the mortal in front of her looking at the album seriously, Li Mei finally had the opportunity to take a closer look at his figure and appearance.

The robe was gorgeous, but just an ordinary item, with a piece missing from the hem. He didn't wear any spiritual objects on his body. He had an ordinary appearance and was probably in his fifties. It looked like he had never taken any anti-aging pills. His expression was arrogant, but a little unnatural.

I didn't notice it at first, but now I'm beginning to suspect it. The more I look at Li Mei, the more suspicious things seem to me.

"What this person said is different from that dead guy Wang Ming. His identity is definitely not a direct descendant of the Jindan family. If he is a servant... could he be a mortal who got lucky?" Li Mei thought to herself.

But then I thought of the perfect first-level demon bird that Wang Ming mentioned. Even if I was lucky, I wouldn't be able to control a first-level demon beast.

Could it be that he is hiding his cultivation level?

Just as Li Mei was becoming more and more confused, Lu Liang's voice rang out, interrupting her thoughts.

"Give me a Wind-Chasing Grass and a Swift Wind Fruit." Lu Liang was now certain that he might have been suspected. He quickly glanced at the catalog and began to say what spiritual objects he needed. He now just wanted to finish his business quickly and leave.

"Well, do you have a second-level teleportation talisman? Or a life-saving item like the Yin Lightning Bead that has a one-time power and is extremely powerful."

"Yes, I'll get it for the customer right away," Li Mei responded subconsciously after hearing Lu Liang's words. She was about to leave, but when she came to her senses, she paused and asked, "Does the customer need anything else?"

"Also, bring a bottle of various elixirs that second-level monsters eat. Oh, and a second-level monster-refining grass." Lu Liang did not hide anything and listed all the spiritual items he needed at once.

Then he took out dozens of exquisite porcelain bottles from his arms and threw them to Li Mei, saying nonchalantly: "Exchange these third-level monster blood essences for spirit stones, and the cost will be deducted from them."

Li Mei used her magic power to take over the dozens of bottles of blood, opened one of them, and began to estimate its value.

In his heart, he was even more certain that Lu Liang was up to something. This porcelain bottle was just an ordinary object. A third-level monster could rival a Jindan cultivator. If a Jindan cultivator had obtained it, he would never use this porcelain bottle to preserve blood.

But it’s not a good time to get angry now, so let’s just do business honestly first.

In less than a moment, as a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, Li Mei immediately recognized that this was the blood of a third-level Sky-roaming Falcon, and said carefully: "Sir, this blood can be exchanged for 34,000 spirit stones. Are you satisfied?"

"Okay, bring up what I need." Lu Liang said casually with an arrogant look on his old face.

Hearing this, Li Mei was delighted.

This guy didn't bargain!

If she manages well, she can get a lot of spirit stones from the suppressed price.

Originally, such a large business order should have been notified to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper had just been transferred from above and was devoted to his cultivation and rarely took care of things.

With this opportunity, for the sake of immortality, Li Mei had already reached a tacit understanding with several other fellow disciples who were also serving as receptionists. They did not interfere with each other and became blood-sucking insects on the giant beast of the Beast Taming Sect.

Of course, it is completely impossible to hide some things from the foundation-building cultivators, so this will require future filial piety.

After leaving the private room, Li Mei hurriedly took out what Lu Liang needed from the warehouse and put them all in a storage bag.

Seeing that they could benefit from this transaction, Li Mei and Lu Liang now have the same idea, both wanting to complete the transaction as soon as possible.

As for whether or not to capture this old man, he had to wait until he left Wanbao Tower and then discuss it with Wang Ming.

Before Lu Liang had to wait long, Li Mei returned to the private room and took out all the contents of the storage bag in front of Lu Liang.

First there were two spiritual herbs and a spiritual fruit, a second-level teleportation talisman and a second-level Yin Thunder Pearl, and then five bottles of pills, ten pills in each bottle. The effects of each were also carefully introduced to Lu Liang one by one.

"Finally, there are these spirit stones. After deducting the cost of spiritual objects and elixirs, there are a total of two thousand spirit stones left. I have already exchanged them for twenty medium-grade spirit stones for the guests. This storage bag is a gift, please keep it well." After Li Mei introduced the things, she put them back into the storage bag and handed it to Lu Liang.

Lu Liang nodded slightly and didn't find anything wrong.

However, Lu Liang asked him to take out a medium-grade spirit stone and put it into his sleeve, and then he took the storage bag and put it in his arms.

At this time, he had finally completed the transaction and could leave. Without wasting time talking to Li Mei, he just walked out with the storage bag.

In this way, Li Mei sent Lu Liang to the door of Wanbao Tower and watched Lu Liang leave with Wang Ming who was waiting at the door.

During this time, Li Mei's eyes flickered, and she quietly communicated with Wang Ming through divine thoughts.

He recounted Lu Liang's behavior in Wanbao Tower.

Lu Liang on the side was still unaware of anything.

Walking on the street, Wang Ming seemed to be nothing special. He continued to chat with Lu Liang enthusiastically and asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you satisfied with the treasures in Wanbao Tower?"

"Not bad. This is a reward for you." Lu Liang just nodded, took out a medium-grade spirit stone from his sleeve and threw it to Wang Ming.

Wang Ming, who took the spirit stone, smiled even more broadly, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

But he was not at peace now. If the guess that Li Mei had just conveyed was true, then he would have to think carefully about whether he should take a risk to seek wealth and fame.

"It's getting late. We'll discuss the residence order tomorrow. You can leave now. I need to find a place to rest."

Lu Liang told him to get rid of the man directly, and Wang Ming didn't know how to say anything, otherwise it might alert the enemy. Anyway, his old lover had already planted a mark on this person.

Wang Ming disappeared into the crowd in a few seconds. Lu Liang silently observed the direction in which this person walked until he disappeared.

At this time, Lu Liang had completely seen the world of immortals, but he did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly ran towards the city gate, and his calm temperament disappeared.

But Lu Liang didn't notice that a pair of greedy eyes in the crowd were staring at him.

Wang Ming looked at Lu Liang who was walking hurriedly towards the city gate. He was completely sure that there was something strange about this person. His initial actions revealed many suspicious points.

In the shadow of the street corner, Wang Ming licked his lips and a smile appeared on his face.

If the benefits are great enough, many seemingly kind and harmless cultivators would be willing to play the role of a robbery cultivator, and Wang Ming is no exception.

But he was not in a hurry to chase after him. He still had to find someone to act with first, otherwise he might end up in trouble.
