The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

Ye Xiao felt a little uneasy under Lao Zhou's gaze.

He couldn't help but ask.

"Old Zhou, what's wrong?"

Old Zhou finally couldn't help but say, "Even if you're going to make an excuse, at least make a decent one!"

"They're clearly after immortality, why bother with such a lame excuse?"

Now it was Ye Xiao's turn to be taken aback.

He wasn't making excuses.

And he was indeed looking for these three materials.

Ye Xiao said, "Old Zhou, I don't understand."

Old Zhou took it upon himself to accept the offer, considering the other party was his employer and had actually paid him.

He said patiently.

"Any one of these three materials you requested can be purchased directly in Lingtian Town!"

"Although these three materials are relatively rare, they are not priceless."

"You'd rather spend 1.5 million to hire us, why not just spend a million or two to buy us outright?"

"So you're not here for immortality? I have no way of believing you!"

Ye Xiao chuckled to himself.

He didn't know about this before he came!

Ye Xiao, of course, would not know.

The materials he needed could be purchased directly in Lingtian Town.

Because when Ye Xiao arrived in Lingtian Town.

It just so happened that the City of Shadows opened in the early hours of the morning.

He didn't even take a stroll around Lingtian Town.

They entered the Shadow Rift directly and arrived at this city of shadows.

Just then.

One of the bodyguards next to Lao Zhou suddenly pulled out a small storage bag.

It's about the size of a palm, resembling a money bag.

Without saying a word, he handed it directly to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao looked slightly surprised when he saw the other person.

"What is this?"

The other party said coldly, "The materials you requested."

Now.

Ye Xiao was a little embarrassed.

But he accepted it anyway.

I used my senses to explore the contents inside.

Indeed, it was the material he had just requested.

Ye Xiao hadn't expected this either.

These are materials that could clearly be bought for one or two million spirit stones.

As a result, he spent 1.5 million spirit stones to hire these five people to bring him in.

And this time.

Old Zhou gave Ye Xiao a deep look.

He said, "Alright, let's not beat around the bush. Since we're all here for the secret of immortality..."

"Then, when we take action later, I'll be laying down three rules with you."

"If we really find an immortal being, we will inevitably have to compete with others for it."

"If we're too busy taking care of ourselves at that time, don't blame us for not protecting you."

"Do you understand?"

Ye Xiao nodded: "I understand."

At this point, Ye Xiao had essentially completed his mission of arriving in the Shadow Rift world.

But new tasks also emerged.

He was also very curious about immortal beings.

It just so happens that Old Zhou and his group came here with the goal of finding the immortal seed.

Old Zhou continued.

"If we obtain an immortal species, we don't plan to keep this thing either."

"We'll have at most a month to recuperate and allow each of us to extend our lifespan by 10 years."

"Because, according to legend, the effects of incomplete immortal species are limited."

"If you want it, you'll have to pay us to buy it from us."

"Is there a problem with this?"

As for Ye Xiao, he held the black card given to him by Principal Wu Canglan.

The principal said that his card could be used without limit.

Ye Xiao naturally wouldn't refuse.

If something can be solved with money, then it's not a problem!

Ye Xiao nodded: "No problem, how much will it cost from you?"

Old Zhou glanced at the four people beside him.

They quickly discussed it.

"How about we have him give each of us 100 million?"

"Isn't one hundred million a bit too little?"

"This is a life-or-death business!"

"That means we have to compete with everyone, including the secret agents outside!"

"One hundred million is indeed too little."

"How about 300 million per person?"

"That's something we can consider. Three hundred million spirit stones per person. If we pull off this one job, it'll be enough for our cultivation for a lifetime."

"Three hundred million spirit stones, if we have enough talent, would be enough for us to break through to the Transcendent Realm."

"......."

Just as Lao Zhou and the other four were discussing things...

At that moment, Ye Xiao's voice suddenly drifted in from outside.

"How about 500 million per person?"

These words were spoken.

This directly interrupted the discussion between Lao Zhou and the other four people.

The moment these people heard the price.

Everyone was stunned.

They stared at Ye Xiao with wide eyes, incredulous.

"Are you kidding me?"

Do you know what 500 million yuan per person means?

"Can you come up with 2.5 billion spirit stones?"

"This is already equivalent to a year's tax revenue in some major cities!"

"......."

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said confidently, "I can produce it."

"If you don't believe me, why don't we just exchange money for goods at the time?"

After Ye Xiao finished speaking...

He persuaded Lao Zhou and four others.

"Okay, it's settled then."

Old Zhou and Ye Xiao made an agreement.

Just then.

A huge commotion came from the business district to their east.

First came a scream.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

"Monsters!!!! Help me!!!!"

Then, the screams abruptly stopped.

It was as if the person crying for help had been instantly annihilated.

Followed by.

A huge explosion was heard from the east!

Someone suddenly made a move!

The commotion instantly spread throughout the quiet city of shadows.

The entire city of shadows began to stir.

Ye Xiao and Lao Zhou immediately turned their gazes to the east.

Above the commercial district to the east, a burst of light shot straight into the sky!

The scene was spectacular and incredibly dazzling!

"A monster has appeared?"

Ye Xiao blurted it out.

Old Zhou's expression was serious: "Prepare for battle."

The other four people drew their weapons and went into combat alert mode.

Then, Lao Zhou stared at Ye Xiao.

"Take care of yourself."

"I can sense it! Something is resurrecting beneath the City of Shadows!"

Everything was just as Lao Zhou had said.

In the once silent city of shadows, a massive explosion suddenly occurred.

The tranquility of the city of shadows was shattered in an instant.

Beneath the city of shadows, something is awakening.

At first, the noise was just a rustling sound.

There wasn't much noise.

However, as the number of animals that move increases, the overall commotion also becomes increasingly significant.

"Something is awakening underground!"

This thought crossed the minds of everyone in the City of Shadows.

Countless people looked down.

Suddenly, at this moment, they discovered that the ground, which had previously cast no shadows, was now visible.

A dense array of all sorts of shadows appeared, enough to make one's scalp crawl!

Moreover, these shadows are not their shadows.

It is the shadow of an unknown creature!

These shadows began to roam wildly across the ground.

Then it gradually covered the walls of all the buildings!

Until the very end.

Every corner of the city, whether it's the ground or the walls.

Anywhere that can cover the shadow.

The shadows covered everything!
