chapter-2474
She looked up and saw Xianyin’s cold face, “Tomorrow, there will be a small-scale trade fair. There will be a trader who specializes in collecting the nine nether crystals. Sell it to him at the price of twenty time crystals. Then, bring the crystals back and quietly hand them over to me.”
Su Yu was slightly surprised. Was this selling the nine nether crystals dug up by the Tai Yi sect to outsiders?
Was this considered betraying the sect?
If they were discovered by the Tai Yi sect, they would definitely be severely punished.
No Wonder Xianyin had a cautious look on her face.“Why me?”Su Yu asked.
Xianyin praised, “During this month, I’ve been observing you newbies. You’re the only one who does things flawlessly. The rest are too careless and difficult to take on big responsibilities.”
So it was like that. Su Yu did not deny this point.
He completed the tasks that he should have completed every day beautifully. Even if he was as mean as Xianyin, he could not find a single fault.
On the other hand, the other rookies either had difficulty completing the tasks or had problems with the planting.
Only Su Yu had completed them perfectly.
“Alright, I agree,”Su Yu said.Xianyin nodded, she threatened, “First, you must keep this matter a secret. Otherwise, I have ways to make you wish you were dead! “Second, don’t even think about running away with the money you sold. The nearest shelter outside the Tai Yi Gate is half a year’s journey. You Can’t get there with just ten time crystals.”
Little did she know that Su Yu was not afraid of the power of the time domain at all.
If he wanted to leave, he could leave at any time.
“I understand!”Su Yu said.
Xianyin was satisfied just now and said, “Wait a moment, I’ll be right back.”
After returning to the ground for a while, she returned and threw a scroll to Su Yu. “Take it, with this scroll, you can avoid the drawing of lots!”
Sure enough, during the drawing of lots in the evening, Su Yu held this scroll in his hand. The three leaders really did avoid Su Yu’s drawing of lots and let him continue to stay at his original position.
In this way, he could stay for another month.
That giant nine nether crystal should be in his hands now.
The next day.
Su Yu was working when Xianyin gave him a look and said, “Su Yu, you performed well last month. I’ll give you a day off. Go!”
“Thank you, Sir!”Su Yu understood and left the underground mine to go outside.
After Su Yu came up, he immediately went down the mountain and left the sect.
The Tai Yi sect had never restricted the freedom of its disciples and slaves. Therefore, Su Yu left the sect without any hindrance and set off to the place where he was.
The Tai Yi sect was not far from there. It was only half a day’s journey and he could make a round trip within a day.
Su Yu slowly descended from the bottom of a broken cliff.
“Who is it?”Before he landed, he was enveloped by the pressure of Xuan Dao Master.
Su Yu was surprised. Even Xuan Dao Master was in the trade fair?
After checking that his disguise was flawless, su yu said calmly, “I was ordered to participate in the trade.”
“Okay, come down.”
As Su Yu landed, he could clearly feel that there were people looking behind him to see if anyone was following him.
At the bottom of the cliff, Su Yu finally saw where the trade fair was.
The group of six surrounded a bonfire that had been burnt out. They were all on guard against each other.
Almost everyone was like Su Yu. They had extremely deep disguises and were unable to identify each other.
“I’m merchant number nine. I’m in charge of this transaction,”a woman wearing a golden mask said to Su Yu.
Su Yu nodded and silently walked over, waiting for the golden-masked woman to speak.
“The old rule is one to twenty. Take out as many eighth stage nine Netherworld Crystals as you have,”the golden-masked woman said hurriedly.
This kind of trade was actually a disguised attempt to poach the Tai Yi sect. The risk was extremely high.
Once she was discovered by the Tai Yi sect, she would die without a doubt.
Everyone didn’t say a word. They didn’t even try to make a sound, afraid that they would expose themselves.
They just silently took out their own nine Netherworld crystals.
The woman took out a magical artifact that was exactly the same as the Tai Yi sect and weighed it.
“Seven taels, fourteen time crystals.”After the golden-faced woman confirmed the weight, she straightforwardly gave the other party seven time crystals.
However, she said, “Before the rest of you leave, please stay here.”
This was to prevent the Tai Yi sect from being alerted after the transaction.
The latter seemed to be an old hand and understood the rules very well. She quietly sat on the spot and meditated.
“Eight taels, sixteen time crystals.”
“One catty! Twenty time crystals.”The golden-masked woman’s voice was obviously higher, showing her emotional fluctuations.
“Three taels! Six!”
“Four taels! Eight.”
Finally, the golden-faced woman looked at Su Yu. “What About You? Take them out and have a look.”
Su Yu took out Xianyin’s first.
“One catty!”The golden-faced woman obviously let out a sigh of relief. She even smiled at Su Yu. “A total of twenty time crystals.”
As she spoke, she wanted to take out the time crystals and give them to Su Yu.
“Hold on! It Won’t be too late to give them after weighing these as well.”Su Yu took out another portion of the nine nether crystals.
They were all secretly dug out from the vegetable garden last month. It was about 12 catties.
“So Many?”The five people who were silently waiting for the transaction to end could not help but exclaim.
Su Yu took out a total of a few pieces. All of them were big fellows that were more than 1 catty.
The five of them were all secretly appointed by the supervisor to help supervise the transaction. Therefore, the quantity of each transaction was not much.
However, the person in front of them took out as much as 12 catties in one go.
Without a doubt, he must be a supervisor himself.
Only a supervisor could store so many nine darkness crystals in his hands.
The golden-faced woman was beaming with joy, she was full of joy. “Thank you for coming to my trade fair. I bought these nine darkness crystals at the price of one more space-time crystal per catty. I only hope that you will take care of my business in the future.”
She also misunderstood that Su Yu was a certain supervisor and treated him as a big customer, so she gave him a considerable discount.
“Of course.”Su Yu spat out two short words.
The golden-faced woman immediately gave Su Yu 253 time crystals.
Apart from the 20 time crystals that she had to give to Xian Yin, Su Yu received 233 time crystals in one go.
Such a number was equivalent to the salary of those official members for more than half a year.
After the transaction, the golden-faced woman took out six maps, she handed one to each of them. “This is the location of the next transaction. It will be in a month’s time. I hope you will be especially supportive. If you can bring someone trustworthy to the transaction, I will give you another reward.”
Everyone nodded silently, took the maps, and left.
Su Yu did not stay.
Such a transaction was indeed too dangerous. It was best to leave as soon as possible.
The golden-faced woman looked deeply at Su Yu, then immediately packed her things and prepared to leave.
She was in a good mood. Today’s harvest was comparable to the four or five transactions in the past.
However, just as she was about to leave, the golden-faced woman suddenly felt that something was not right. Her expression changed abruptly.
She did not even want the things on the ground. She directly crushed a jade Buddha.
The Jade Buddha shot out streams of spatial power and swept it away in an instant.
Almost at the instant she left, a huge palm appeared out of thin air and slapped on the spot where she had left, shattering the space.
If it had been any later, she would have been seriously injured even if she did not die.
“HMPH! At least you ran fast!”A cold snort rang out, and a bird-like expert with black wings broke through the air and came over.
He was none other than the three innkeepers of the Tai Yi sect!
His palm held a map that came from an unknown place, and he stared coldly at the place where the golden-faced woman had escaped.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh --
One after another, the auras of Xuan Dao Master rushed over and surrounded the third incharge.
“Third Incharge, are we still going to chase after them?”An expert asked.
The third incharge snorted, “How are we going to chase after them? These survivors are the most cunning. They have long prepared a complete escape route for themselves. If we don’t catch them on the spot, it will be impossible to catch up to them.”
He believed that after the golden-faced woman used the power of space to move to another place, she had already moved twice.
It was impossible for her to catch up to her.
However, if she couldn’t catch up, how could the people who participated in the trade not be able to?
“Catch them and torture them. which disciple instructed them?”The Third Incharge’s face was as dark as water.
It was no secret that the Tai Yi sect’s internal members colluded with outsiders to sell the sect’s nine nether crystals.
However, the merchants were very meticulous and rarely gave themselves away.
It was only after a slave exposed them that they were able to pinpoint the location of the trade. Unfortunately, they were a step too late, and the merchants were able to escape.
“Yes!”The merchants were able to escape, but the slaves lacked time crystals and had nowhere to go. They could only run back to the sect, so it was very easy to capture them.
Not long after, five out of the six people were caught and successfully captured.
“Sir, there’s still one person who hasn’t caught up.”A group of Xuan Dao Masters braced themselves and returned.
“Trash! He can even run away from a slave!”The third incharge rebuked angrily.
Xuan Dao Master, who was in charge of chasing, said embarrassedly, “I don’t know why either. That slave’s movement technique is extremely fast, much faster than mine.”
He was also very helpless.
It was clearly a slave with a low cultivation, but its speed was shockingly fast, easily shaking him off.
He did not know that if it was not for Su Yu’s fear of exposing his spatial domain, he would have already taken a step forward and returned to the Tai Yi sect.
“Immediately return to the sect and investigate for me. Dig three feet into the ground and don’t let a single fish slip through the net!”The Third Incharge said sternly, vowing to investigate this matter to the end.
When the group returned to the Tai Yi sect, the first thing they did was torture the five slaves to force out the mastermind.
Under such torture, the mastermind was quickly identified.
In the underground mine, Xian Yin was anxiously waiting for Su Yu’s return.
All of a sudden, more than a hundred Tai Yi sect members in black uniforms barged in from the stairway entrance. All of them had solemn expressions as they charged in with murderous intent.
Xian Yin’s heart skipped a beat, as if she had missed a beat.
The black-uniformed people were the law-enforcers of the Tai Yi sect.
Normally, they would not even make a move, let alone such a large-scale operation in front of them?
She immediately had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
Shua Shua --
On a mine not far from the vegetable garden that she was in charge of, more than a dozen law-enforcers rushed over and subdued the supervisor there on the spot.
A Stern law enforcer held a scroll in his hand and announced loudly, “Supervisor Yang Shan of Mine No. 3 colluded with outsiders to steal the sect’s nine underworld crystals. The evidence is conclusive. Kill him on the spot!”
With that said, he raised his hand and slashed down, beheading the supervisor on the spot.
Long streams of blood splashed into her vegetable garden, scaring Xianyin so much that her face turned pale and she didn’t dare to move.
Her heart, like a huge stone that had fallen into the abyss, kept sinking.
