Demon's Diary
chapter-1314

“The environment here is quite good.” Liu Ming looked around, nodded, and said.

The courtyard looked quite open, but it was a bit dilapidated as if it had been disrepaired for a long time.

“Senior is right. This is originally the ancestral house of the Yan Family, a large family in the city. It is rumored that there is a demonic source of high quality in it. Unfortunately, the Yan Family gradually declined, then the later generations rebuilt it into several separate courtyards and rented them out to some high rank demons who like to be secluded.” The young man in a brown robe spoke eloquently.

Hearing this, Liu Ming nodded slowly.

As they were talking, a middle-aged man in fine clothes walked out.

“Shopkeeper Yan, I’ve brought you business. Senior wants to rent a temporary residence from you.” The young man in a brown robe immediately raised his voice when he saw the man in clothes.

Liu Ming glanced at the man in fine clothes. He was also at the Crystallization Period intermediate stage. No wonder the young man in a brown robe said that his family was in decline.

“What a coincidence, senior. There is only 1 courtyard left in Emerald Bamboo House.” The man in fine clothes smiled flatteringly after noticing Liu Ming’s high cultivation.

Hearing this, Liu Ming showed a contemplative look.

According to Mo Tian, the Demon Abyss should be relatively secretive, but before the secret realm was opened, a large number of demons were already waiting here.

“Don’t be surprised. In addition to the central imperial royal family and the 4 great families, there are still many forces who also own the Demon Abyss Key, but most of them own the key together. In order to cover themselves up, they will disguise themselves. When they come, they will reserve several residences and wait for the opening of the secret realm.” Mo Tian’s voice sounded faintly.

“Okay, let’s take a look first. If the place is suitable, I will rent it.” Hearing this, Liu Ming said so.

“Okay, senior, please come in.” The man in fine clothes led the way with a smile.

The three of them walked into the Emerald Bamboo House. As the young man in a brown robe said, it had been converted into several cave houses with separate courtyards, They were separated by a decent distance. There were about 6 of them.

“May I ask your surname, senior. How long are you going to stay in Guang Han City?” The middle-aged man in fine clothes asked Liu Ming carefully as he walked.

His cultivation level was not high, but his vision was not bad. Although he couldn’t sense Liu Ming’s cultivation level, according to his intuition, Liu Ming should be a Real Pellet State existence.

“My surname is Ye. You only need to know this. If the place is suitable, I can rent it for a year or two. I won’t pay you less.” Liu Ming said flatly.

“Yes, yes…” The middle-aged man in fine clothes nodded repeatedly.

Not long after, Liu Ming and the young man in a brown robe came to the depths of the courtyard. It was built on the hillside.

The man in fine clothes took out a white token from his arms, shook it, and a white light shot out from the token into the door.

The door creaked and opened slowly, revealing a small courtyard.

“Senior Ye, please come in.” The man in fine clothes invited Liu Ming in.

Liu Ming didn’t humble himself and walked in.

Green bamboos were planted in the courtyard. When the breeze blew, the bamboo leaves suddenly made a soft “shushing” sound, making it extremely serene.

At the back of the courtyard were several stone rooms. Facilities like training room were all available. There was even a small earth fire house.

Liu Ming walked around the cave house. Although the demonic qi here was not very thick, the environment was indeed quite good.

“Okay, I’ll rent for 2 years.” Liu Ming nodded and said.

“Okay, senior. The rent here is 50,000 demonic crystals for 1 year, so it’s a total of 100,000 for 2 years.” The man in the fine suit said with a smile.

The young man in a brown robe’s face changed when he heard this. The fee was really not low.

Liu Ming took out a small cloth bag and threw it at the man in fine clothes.

The man in fine clothes quickly took it and checked with Divine Thought. A gleam of joy appeared on his face. In the cloth bag were 10 upper grade demonic crystals emitting a strong black light.

“Thank you, senior. From today onward, this cave house is yours. This is the access token. Please keep it.” The man in fine clothes smiled and handed the white token to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming took the token with a blank expression.

Seeing this, the young man in a brown robe breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Liu Ming was satisfied with the environment here, the long black blade would belong to him.

The man in fine clothes talked about the enchantment of this cave house again, then he took his leave.

The young man in a brown robe originally planned to leave, but he was stopped by Liu Ming.

“Senior, is there anything you want?” The young man in a brown robe looked at Liu Ming in awe and asked cautiously.

This sir is able to take out 100,000 demonic crystals without hesitation, so he is definitely not an ordinary demon. He is mostly at the Real Pellet State later stage.

For him, a Spirit Apostle Stage demon, he had to look up to the Condensation Period and Crystallization Period demons, let alone a Real Pellet State demon.

“What’s your name?” Liu Ming asked.

“Junior is Lu Quan.” The young man in a brown robe replied hastily.

“Lu Quan… You are also a relatively clever person. I have a business for you. From today on, you will collect the information you see in the city, especially those unfamiliar faces, and report to me once a day. 20 demonic crystals each time. If you do well, I’ll give you another set of upper grade demonic armor.” Liu Ming said with a faint smile.

Lu Quan was excited upon hearing that.

A guide like him could only earn a few inferior demonic crystal after a day of hard work. 20 demonic crystals were definitely a lot of money for him, and an upper grade demonic amor was a treasure to the Crystallization Period demon.

Lu Quan’s cultivation was low, but his mind was quite clever. He took a deep breath and cupped his fist to Liu Ming, “Senior, my cultivation is low, so I can’t do things like spying and stalking…”

“You don’t need to stalk. You just need to report to me the situation in the city every day. You don’t need to do other things.” Liu Ming waved his hand and said.

“Really? Then junior will do my best to act according to senior’s instructions.” Lu Quan nodded with great joy on his face.

Liu Ming smiled slightly, took out a white disk array, handed it to Lu Quan, and said, “From now on, you will use this to contact me.”

“Yes, yes.” Lu Quan nodded hastily and put away the white disk array.

Liu Ming gave a few more instructions, and Lu Quan quickly took his leave.

Liu Ming stood in the small courtyard for a while, took out the white token, and shook it lightly to close the door. A layer of milky white enchantment emerged above the cave house.

He scanned Divine Thought with a hint of surprise. The enchantment of this cave house was quite ingenious. It could not only shield Divine Thought’s detection, but it also had a strong protection.

After turning on the enchantment, Liu Ming stepped into the secret room. He waved and launched several lights in the room to set up a green light curtain.

After finishing all this, Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the futon in the secret room, and sat down.

“What can a Spirit Apostle Stage demon do? At most, he can only collect some superficial information for you.” Mo Tian emerged and said disdainfully.

“You concluded that people from the Liu Family would secretly search for me. If that’s the case, I better stay indoor for this year. I just keep an informant outside to understand the general situation in the city. “Liu Ming curled his lips, looking indifferent.

“Boy Liu, you are too timid. A mere Liu Family scares you like this…” Mo Tian chuckled and said sarcastically.

“The less trouble the better. If something happened to me now, wouldn’t your plan to forge condense a demon body be ruined?” Liu Ming didn’t get angry at all, but he said with a slight smile.

Mo Tian snorted and sent a white jade slip to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming caught it while raising his eyebrows.

“In this jade slip are the places I visited in Demon Abyss last time. I have drawn it into a map. It also includes some of my experience in Demon Abyss. You can use them for reference.” Mo Tian said lightly.

Liu Ming was overjoyed upon hearing this. He cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, senior.”

Mo Tian snorted and returned into Liu Ming’s body.

Liu Ming played with the jade slip in his hand, but he didn’t look at it immediately. Instead, he waved his hand, and a green square disk array appeared in front of him.

He took out a silver talisman, put it on the disk array, and chanted. A burst of green light appeared and wrapped the silver talisman, then a green array about the size of a foot was formed.

A moment later, the light in the green array flickered, and a vague small figure emerged.

“Family master?” A voice came from the green figure. It was Qing Gu.

“Elder Qing Gu, is everyone doing well?” Liu Ming asked.

“Is it really family master? That’s great. Ever since the news of the Liu Family’s betrayal spread during the Battle of Black Wind Col, we have been very worried about you.” Qing Gu said with a slightly excited voice.

“I’m fine now. Have you left Zang State now?” Liu Ming said with a warm heart.

“At that time, as soon as I heard about the changes on the battlefield, I immediately brought our people and left the Tuo Zang Mountain Range. After connecting with Qing Fang, I followed your instructions and immediately moved our Qing Family into the Yanyun Mountain Range in the Quan State.” Qing Gu said.

Liu Ming was at relieved to hear that. Quan State was the central state of Thousands Demons Continent. It was not far from Yu State. Qing Family should be safe there.

“Okay, you will there for a while. I may not come back so soon. The situation in the Thousands Demons Continent is turbulent now, so try not to get into trouble. Wait until I return before making any decision.” Liu Ming ordered after thinking for a while.

“Yes.” Qing Gu hastily agreed.

In the following time, after Liu Ming inquired about everything in the family, he ended the communication with the Qing Family.

Since everything was fine with the Qing Family, he could rest assured and put all his thoughts on this trip to Demon Abyss.

After Liu Ming put away the green disk array and the talisman, he took out the jade slip that Mo Tian had just given him and read it with Divine Thought.
