At 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, Yi Gan had returned to the fairyland, the grilled fish stall had closed, but Xiao Chen came to the Jiuxian Incense and Candle Shop.

He was just an ordinary man who wanted to earn some extra money by working part-time at night, but he didn't expect that the things happening recently became more and more bizarre.

The powder that inexplicably floated from the customers' bodies into the bottle, Mr. Yi's green skin that occasionally showed up, many seafood that he had never seen before, and the boss's words that seemed to predict the future.

Today, Mr. Yi did not show his green skin, and he changed his clothes, no longer wearing all black. However, Xiao Chen always felt that there was something a little off about Mr. Yi, as if the person in front of him was not the real Mr. Yi.

Seeing the boss and Mr. Yi talking to each other with their arms around each other's shoulders made people feel a chill down their spine.

Yesterday he accidentally heard his boss telling Mr. Yi an address, and he decided to find out.

The wind was cold and the street lights were dim. The old Jiuxian Incense and Candle Shop was lit up with ghostly shadows. Xiao Chen swallowed and stood under the street light, hesitating.

"It's so late, they should be closed, right? Why don't I come back tomorrow morning?"

Xiao Chen thought.

Just when Xiao Chen convinced himself and was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly found someone standing behind him!

scare!

Xiao Chen was almost frightened to death!

"Whee!"

The person behind him was wearing a fox fairy mask and ancient short clothes, like a lively monster with a human body and a fox head.

Especially the giggle with the head slightly tilted, which made Xiao Chen's teeth chatter, his legs tremble, and he broke out in cold sweat.

"Hehe! First time at Nine Immortals Spirit Goods?"

A childish voice asked.

It was even more creepy in the dead of night at 2am.

Xiao Chen nodded, speechless.

"Nine Immortals Spirit Goods is open all day. The door is closed just to avoid scaring ordinary people. You can just knock on the door and go in."

After the childish voice finished speaking, it walked past Xiao Chen, walked to the front of the Jiuxian Incense and Candle Shop and knocked on the door.

knock knock!

A crisp knock on the door pierced the darkness, and the door immediately opened with a creaky sound, but Xiao Chen couldn't see anyone opening the door.

"Let's go, little rookie. Hee hee!"

The childish voice seemed to be teasing Xiao Chen, and with a wave of the hand, it pulled Xiao Chen over.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Xiao Chen shouted, flew over the street lights, flew across the streets, and flew into the open door of Jiuxian Incense and Candle Shop very accurately, then stood steadily in front of a pile of paper products.

"Whee!"

The childish voice was heard again, but Xiao Chen could no longer find the fox fairy mask.

Of course, no one was found to open the door.

The silver light that came from somewhere dimly illuminated the entire store, and the strong smell of incense ash calmed Xiao Chen down a little.

Once I entered the incense and candle shop, I didn’t feel as eerie as when I was standing under the street light.

Xiao Chen began to look around and everything was normal.

Only in the depths of the store there seemed to be human figures, and someone was talking inside.

After calming down, Xiao Chen became bolder. He walked deeper into the incense and candle shop and soon saw two people standing inside the shop.

A teller and a fox mask.

The teller handed Fox Fairy Mask a package. After Fox Fairy Mask put it in his arms, he thanked the teller:

"Thank you, see you next time, hehe!"

Then the fox fairy mask turned to look at Xiao Chen and said:

"And you, I look forward to seeing you again next time, hehe!"

A gust of black wind blew past, and the fox fairy mask disappeared.

The teller turned to look at Xiao Chen and said:

"You are the guy at the grilled fish stall opened by Elder Tao, right? What instructions does Elder Tao have?"

"Uh……"

Xiao Chen was stunned.

He knew his boss's last name was indeed Tao, and the other party also mentioned the grilled fish stall, so he must be talking about his boss. However...

Elder?

So Boss Tao is a practitioner?

Ever since spiritual power appeared throughout the world several hundred years ago, practitioners have emerged on the world stage.

At that time, because the world had never been exposed to spiritual power, 90% of the ordinary people in the world were blown up by spiritual power, causing the world's civilization to almost completely stop and even regress to the primitive age.

However, at that time, practitioners all over the world, whether they were immortal cultivators, warriors, magicians, shamans, priests, wizards, etc., all greatly increased their strength because they knew how to use spiritual power, and became the protectors of all mankind at that time.

They opened up the fairyland, transferred excess spiritual power there, took away many wild beasts that had mutated due to spiritual power, and even stood in front of ordinary people to resist the beast tide.

Some people have also studied ways to use spiritual power as energy, so now there are actually many things in the world that are powered by spiritual power, such as mobile phones, cars, etc.

Therefore, even ordinary people know the existence of practitioners.

The gap between ordinary people and practitioners is huge. Not only are their living habits completely different, but even their supernatural powers are incomparable to those of ordinary people. In the eyes of ordinary people, practitioners are omnipotent, like supermen.

Xiao Chen never thought that his boss was actually a cultivator.

"gentlemen?"

The teller saw that Xiao Chen was suddenly stunned and started to ask.

"Ok?"

Xiao Chen came back to his senses.

"What does Elder Tao want to tell us?"

the teller asked again.

"Uh... the boss asked... has a green person been here recently?"

Xiao Chen came here with the purpose of finding out what secrets there were between his boss and Mr. Yi. Now that he knew that his boss was the elder of a certain cultivation sect, he was very curious about Mr. Yi's identity.

"Oh! You mean a goblin, right? It was here yesterday."

The teller replied with a smile.

"Goblin!?"

Xiao Chen was surprised.

"Yes, it's a goblin... Well, it seems the elder didn't tell you what a goblin is."

The cashier knew that this was Xiao Chen's first time in a cultivator's store and that he probably had no experience with the cultivation world before. So he started to explain to Xiao Chen:

"Goblins are a type of magical creature commonly found in the magical continent. Their intelligence is comparable to that of humans, but they are driven by instinct. They have a weak sense of good and evil and often act according to their own desires, even to the point of seeking death."

"In the magical continent, goblins are usually slaves of magicians and are often used as experimental subjects. This goblin is likely to have escaped from the previous magician, or successfully redeemed himself and then crossed the ocean to Mud River City."

The teller said.

"Reply to Elder Tao that the goblins did come and exchanged 200 grams of salt for some supplies and equipment, and also bought some information about the magic continent. By the way, please ask Elder Tao if the price of exchanging 1 spirit stone for 1 gram of heart salt will increase?"

When Xiao Chen heard that he had to pass a message on behalf of the teller, he was immediately stunned.

If he really helped the teller to pass the message, wouldn't his secret investigation of the boss be exposed?

Cold sweat dripping down.
