The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Three days later.

The Green Rose Market once again displayed its former prosperity, with noise and crowds of people, as if the chaos of the previous day had never happened, like an illusory dream.

But the difference is that nowadays, when the immortal cultivators walking on the streets and alleys set their eyes on the towering black building, there will always be a deep awe in their eyes.

This mysterious building is still gloomy and solemn, but now it is full of vitality and vigor. Business is booming and guests are coming in. The former desolation is long gone.

Song Ren was wearing a mask and standing in the middle of the busy street with a slightly hesitant look on his face.

He looked around and finally raised his head, staring at the three large characters written in a flamboyant style on the plaque. After making sure that he was not in the wrong place, he stepped into the gate.

As he stepped into the building, Song Ren couldn't help but feel puzzled by the scene before him.

The Shadow Tower, which was supposed to be quiet and silent, was now crowded with many monks who concealed their own auras.

He wondered secretly, every time he came here to deliver a task, the building was always empty and silent.

Today's lively scene really made him feel a little at a loss.

After accepting the mission, he chose to complete it here because the location was close to the Green Rose Market.

Unexpectedly, the Ghost Shadow Building here was very different from what he remembered.

"Could it be that the area around the Green Rose Market is even more chaotic? Are there people coming here to hire someone to kill someone every day?"

Song Ren thought to himself.

At this moment, countless monks were crowding in front of the mysterious and strange eyeball, forming a long line.

Song Ren stood helplessly at the end of the line, sighing inwardly, but still waiting patiently.

However, he was unaware that the number of people here is actually relatively small nowadays.

Just two days ago, when the news that Shadow Tower was going to sell Shadow bracelets spread, people came in an endless stream. It could be described as a huge crowd. Even the area outside the market was crowded with people queuing up.

After observing for a while, Song Ren finally figured out why the building was so noisy.

It turns out that these people came here to buy the Shadow Bracelet!

What surprised him even more was that the Shadow Tower had so openly begun recruiting Soul Boundaries!

As a soul binder, he naturally knew the significance of the Shadow Bracelet. As long as he obtained a Shadow Bracelet, he could become a soul binder in the Shadow Tower.

Moreover, the Shadow Tower does not restrict the Soul Catcher's freedom; whether or not to accept a mission depends entirely on personal will.

In addition, you can also use spirit stones and shadow coins to exchange for precious spiritual objects that many casual cultivators dream of, such as foundation-building pills, five-element spirit fruits, and overcoming difficulties pills, etc.

Because of this, countless casual cultivators in the Sandbank area were eager to own a Phantom Bracelet. However, the reality was very cruel, and they searched hard but could not find a way to obtain the bracelet.

Moreover, the Shadow Tower is extremely secretive when selecting Soul Bound Messengers. There are no clear standards and everything is done in secret.

As a result, various conspiracies and tricks designed against the Soul Bound Messenger emerged one after another.

Hearing that the Shadow Tower was actually selling Shadow bracelets openly, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Obviously, something major must have happened inside the Shadow Building during this period of time to lead to this situation.

Thinking of this, his heart was filled with undercurrents.

Just as Song Ren was about to submit the task and investigate the cause, a figure suddenly walked towards him in the hall.

That person was also wearing a black robe, wrapping himself tightly. Even his face was covered by the black cloth. The aura around him was restrained to the extreme, as if he had merged with the surrounding environment.

When he came in, he looked around the hall. The man was chatting with other people, but he didn't pay any attention.

At this time, the man walked slowly in front of Song Ren and stopped abruptly.

The sudden change made Song Ren's nerves tense in an instant, his muscles stiffened, and the magic power in his body began to flow secretly. With just a thought, a powerful spell could be cast immediately.

Since becoming a Soul Binder, in just a few months, he has gradually become accustomed to this state of constant high alert.

Whenever he puts on this iconic black robe, he will unconsciously fall into a tense atmosphere, and any disturbance may trigger his violent reaction.

And these actions are completely instinctive and subconscious.

Just when Song Ren thought he was in trouble, a low and suppressed voice came into his ears.

"Senior, I have a stone with a picture of the Shadow Tower Master taking action. Are you interested in buying one?"

Hearing this, Song Ren's heart was shocked and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Many wandering cultivators in Shazhou have always been curious about the legendary owner of the Shadow Tower.

This mysterious figure, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, gave all casual practitioners hope of pursuing a higher realm.

Now that he heard the news about the owner of the Ghost Shadow Tower, how could he not be shocked?

"Are you telling the truth? No one has ever seen the true face of the Shadow Tower Master, so don't make up stories like that!"

Although he was extremely curious, Song Ren still remained a little wary and asked in a doubtful tone.

"It seems that Senior was not in the Green Rose Market a few days ago, and he is not clear about what happened that day."

"Senior, you should know the Holy Fire Sect's ancestor Pei Zhenjun, right?"

"Just three days ago..."

As the strange monk explained, Song Ren gradually became dazed.

He didn't expect that such a shocking event would happen in Green Rose Market during just the time it took to complete a mission.

Coming back to his senses, Song Ren said hurriedly:

"Quick! Give me a photo stone!"

The corner of the monk's mouth curled up under the mask, and he stretched out his hand, and a photo stone appeared.

"Two thousand spirit stones."

Song Ren was about to take the photo stone when his hand suddenly stopped. He cursed in his heart, but still took out two thousand spirit stones from his storage bag.

As his spiritual sense penetrated, Song Ren's expression became more and more shocked.

……

At this moment, Li Qing was in Longhaizhu, leisurely waiting for the return of the ghost slaves scattered in various towns and cities on the sandbar.

Not far from the Green Lotus Market, there was a round stone bead quietly sunk under the mud.

At this moment, a wisp of black mist slowly emerged from the void.

This wisp of black mist floated towards the stone bead silently like a ghost and penetrated into it in an instant.

The last ghost slave landed on the deck, opened its mouth wide, and souls began to emerge from its mouth, along with a storage bag...

After a moment, all the souls were refined by the ghost robe.

Li Qing nodded with satisfaction, and then he took out a storage bag from his arms and threw it lightly, and the storage bag fell accurately into the mouth of the ghost slave in front of him.

After the ghost slave swallowed the storage bag, he rushed out of Longhaizhu again and galloped in the direction he came from.
