Lin Mo glanced at Hu Ben who had left, then his gaze fell on the White Robed Youth, "This Netherworld Technique Secret Manual is still at the original price. I can guarantee that this manual will never end up in someone elseâs hands."
Luo Qi gave him a strange look and smiled, "Alright, but youâve offended Hu Ben, that person will probably not let it go easily, be careful."
The two exchanged the manuals and the Space Ring containing Netherworld Stone!
After speaking, Luo Qi turned and left, disappearing into the crowd.
Lin Mo also put away the Space Ring, turned around, and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment." As expected, a crisp voice came from behind, "Just now, I also helped you out a bit. How can you leave without even saying thank you? That seems quite rude."
Lin Mo stopped, turned his head, with a faint smile on his face, his deep black eyes staring at the young woman in front of himâslim figure, flawless skin, one of the top ten among the women he had encountered, with a smooth, white forehead adorned with a teardrop-shaped blue forehead ornament, her face smiling like a flower, with flower-like eyes holding a soul-stirring charm.
"Thank you, Lady, for your righteous words." Lin Mo clasped his fists and said.
"I havenât introduced myself yet, Iâm Yun Xi, you can call me Miss Yun or Lady Yun," the young woman said.
"Lin Tanyu," Lin Mo replied.
Yun Xi looked at Lin Mo, laughed softly, and said, "You must be a Netherworld Pattern Master, right? Youâre very smart, knowing how to make a name for yourself using this method just upon arriving in East City, so that those who need you can find you."
Lin Mo was momentarily stunned and laughed, "Miss Yun is a clever person, seeing through my little trick at a glance!"
"Arriving in East City and immediately putting up Netherworld Technique for trade was deliberately meant to provoke trouble from people like Hu Ben, so you could demonstrate some of your own strength. This is the quickest way to make a name for yourself; once you become famous, people will naturally come to you." Yun Xi slightly pursed her lips, seeming to be able to see through Lin Moâs thoughts.
Lin Mo nodded, "Miss Yun guessed correctly, but I wonder what Miss Yun wants from me. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Of course, itâs a good thing, involving Netherworld Pattern Masters. If you are willing to help, you definitely wonât lack benefits," Yun Xi said confidently, her clear eyes looking at Lin Mo.
"Involving Netherworld Pattern Masters? I hope I wonât be disappointed," Lin Mo smiled.
"Come back with me first, Iâll tell you the whole story," Yun Xi said as she turned to leave, Lin Mo touched his nose, looking indifferent, followed behind her.
From the moment he entered East City, Lin Mo had already figured out that to obtain information, he must make a name for himself. Thus, estimating the sale of Dark Phoenix Seal Netherworld Technique might provoke some trouble from people like âHu Benâ. Those who dare to act so flagrantly in East City generally have some reputation, and defeating these people with reputation is the quickest way to make yourself known.
This time, after driving off Hu Ben in the trading market, Lin Tanyuâs name would soon be known by quite a few people in East City.
Once you have a name, people will naturally come to you; this is the fastest way to obtain information. If you donât do this, trying to find out where treasures and relics are located in East City will take an unknown amount of time.
The Dark Demon Sea is filled with various dangers and opportunities, even if treasures are discovered, to obtain them with oneâs own power is impossible unless one has extraordinary means. Therefore, in cities at each gathering point, âadventure teamsâ appear, seeking suitable personnel to join the team, exploring dangerous areas searching for treasures.
"Kid, I didnât expect your strength to be so powerful, even Hu Ben suffered a loss at your hands. Earlier you pretended to be weak to catch him off guard, didnât you?" Fan Dong glanced at Lin Mo, smiled.
Lin Mo looked at him, just smiled.
Fan Dong whispered a warning, "But donât get too happy, Hu Ben is extremely vengeful, and he has a very protective big brother, Hu Lie. Be careful."
"Hu Lie? Thanks." Lin Mo nodded, now apart from Star Domain Level experts, he really wasnât afraid of regular Star System Level individuals.
"Miss Yun, are you sure you want this guy to join us?" Zhou Shiming, who was with Yun Xi, frowned and asked, without lowering his voice, as if deliberately wanting Lin Mo to hear.
Yun Xi said, "You saw his strength too, although he only has Star System Level Early Stage cultivation, his actual power is probably enough to rival Intermediate Star System Level. Moreover, he just arrived in East City, so his background should be clean."
"Even if itâs Intermediate Star System Level, so what? Heâs not on the Demon Domain Sky List." Zhou Shiming said with a hint of disdain.
Upon hearing this, Yun Xi didnât speak, instead, she quickened her pace.
Soon, everyone arrived at the grand and majestic Temple that Lin Mo first saw, which is the City Lord Mansion!
And the golden runes flowing in the sky like smoky rain formed a very large and solid Array, even if several Star Domain Level experts joined forces, they couldnât break this Array.
"Why is the formidable City Lord Mansionâs Array activated? Is there someone the City Lord fears?" Lin Mo raised his head and glanced at the Array, its operation consumes a lot of soul coins, generally wouldnât be activated without special circumstances.
"Young Master Lin Tanyu, please come in with me." Yun Xi glanced at Lin Mo, spoke softly. Somehow, she always felt Lin Mo wasnât simple, not only did he exhibit power surpassing usual Star System Level Early Stage experts, but his eyes, like a deep Star Sea, remained composed. Either he had adequate confidence and strength, or he had undergone very special experiences.
Upon entering the City Lord Mansion, Yun Xi had Fan Dong and Zhou Shiming leave, then led Lin Mo to a serene courtyard.
In the courtyard stood a Stone Forest, Yun Xi and Lin Mo took their seats, afterward two maids dressed in gowns presented fragrant tea.
"Miss Yun, what is it you wanted to discuss? If itâs not something Iâm sufficiently interested in, it may waste your time and mine." Lin Mo picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said.
Yun Xi paused, then revealed a charming smile, "I think Young Master Lin Tanyu will definitely be interested. Weâve discovered an ancient tomb left by a Netherworld Pattern Master. Weâre currently hasty to prepare manpower and explore it. As long as Young Master Lin Tanyu helps, we can offer you very generous rewards!"
"An ancient tomb of a Netherworld Pattern Master?" Lin Mo slightly squinted his eyes, and a glint flashed through his pupils.
"The Netherworld Era ended for unknown reasons, in that era almost every cultivator practiced Netherworld Patterns. In our Holy Era, whether itâs Netherworld Stone or Technique, they need to be obtained from some Secret Realms, ancient tombs, or ancient sects," Yun Xi explained slowly.
Lin Mo knew this long ago. Last time at the Ice Emperor Relics Thunder Mountain, he killed beasts to obtain Netherworld Stone due to the Ice Emperorâs preservation of a space belonging to the Netherworld Era. Achieving such feats were rare to come by.
Generally, Netherworld Stones are extracted from discovered ancient sect relics or mined from some special Secret Realms, making Netherworld Stones extremely precious!
