No hope for eternal life

Seeing that Song Zhi also bet on him to be in the top three, Mu Changsheng said with a sneer, "If Miss Song loses, I won't pay for it."

"I believe you can make it into the top three. Even if you lose, you don't have to pay for it." Song Zhi smiled.

Mu Xun's mouth twitched slightly as he listened. He suddenly felt that he was a little redundant here.

So Mu Xun turned around and left the gambling den, but Mu Changsheng and Song Zhi soon caught up with him.

"Why are you walking so fast?" Mu Changsheng chased after Mu Xun and asked.

Mu Xun replied straightly: "I'm afraid I'll delay your good fortune."

When Song Zhi heard this, her cheeks suddenly turned red, but she did not say anything to object, which seemed to indicate that she was reluctant to accept the offer.

Mu Changsheng patted Mu Xun's back speechlessly and said quickly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mu Changsheng admitted that he had some feelings for Song Zhi, but he still needed to be cautious when it came to finding a Taoist partner.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng apologized to Song Zhi again: "Please forgive me, Miss Song. This guy has always been so outspoken."

Song Zhi shook her head slightly and smiled: "It doesn't matter. It is said that a sword cultivator can break all laws with one sword. It emphasizes only taking the straight path and not the crooked one. It is indeed very compatible with Master Mu's personality."

Afterwards, the three of them talked as they walked, and unknowingly arrived at a grocery market.

The reason why it is called a grocery market is because the things sold here are particularly diverse, including elixirs, spiritual weapons, spiritual medicines and even secret techniques, all of which are randomly set up on both sides of the road.

Moreover, this kind of street stall business is often very complicated. Unlike those shops where you can get away with selling fake things, the stalls here can be set up at any time and changed at any time. Once you buy fake things, it will be difficult to find the seller again. Therefore, this kind of grocery market is also called Taobao. Buying things depends entirely on your eyesight. If you are cheated, you can't blame others.

"Eh." Song Zhi exclaimed as soon as she entered the market. She stopped at a small stall at her feet, picked up a spiritual medicine on the stall, and asked, "How much is this spiritual medicine?"

The owner of this stall was an old man with sharp eyes, and he was very shrewd. When he heard Song Zhi's question, he raised his eyelids and said casually: "Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, no bargaining."

"Ten thousand?" Mu Changsheng frowned deeply as he watched from the side. It was just a second-grade spiritual medicine, but the price was indeed a bit expensive.

Song Zhi also frowned and said, "Your price is indeed too expensive."

Then, Song Zhi picked up another item on the stall and said with a smile: "How about this, I am willing to pay 10,000 low-grade spirit stones to buy the spirit medicine, but you need to give me this dead pill that has lost its medicinal effect."

Upon hearing this, the stall owner snatched both items from Song Zhi's hands, his eyes rolling around, and said, "You are quite experienced, little girl, but you are far from being able to show off your skills in front of me."

Then, the boss picked up the Death Pill with two fingers, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, saying: "What you really want is this Death Pill."

Mu Changsheng was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but look at Song Zhi. Did she really mean that?

"Let me tell you the truth." The stall owner continued, "I found this Death Pill in an ancient cave. It might have been a Divine Pill."

Song Zhi calmly asked, "Even if it was a magic pill before, it has lost its medicinal effect now. How is it different from an ordinary deadly pill?"

The stall owner narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "That's hard to say. Let's be frank. If you want this pill, you can take it for 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones."

"You should keep this death pill for yourself." Song Zhi turned and left. Seeing this, Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun had no choice but to follow.

Seeing that Song Zhi was about to leave, the stall owner lowered the price and said, "Five thousand, five thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

However, Song Zhi still did not look back.

After they walked away, Mu Changsheng couldn't help but ask: "Are you really not buying it?" He originally thought that this was just a way for Song Zhi to bargain, but he didn't expect that Song Zhi was really going to leave.

Song Zhi shook her head slightly after hearing this and said, "That Death Pill is indeed worth a bit, but let alone five thousand mid-grade spirit stones, it's not even worth a thousand. I think that man is just trying to cheat me. There's no point in saying anything more to him, let alone getting any benefit from him."

"I see." Mu Changsheng was somewhat surprised. He had not expected that the water here was so deep. He immediately praised Song Zhi: "I did not expect Miss Song to be good at appraising treasures."

"In my spare time, I just like to read some miscellaneous books." Song Zhi said modestly.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng and the other two walked and stopped along the way, but they were mainly for the purpose of gaining knowledge and did not buy anything real. Just when they were about to walk out of the grocery market, Mu Xun suddenly stopped.

"Do you also want to shop on Taobao?" Mu Changsheng asked Xiang Muxun doubtfully. He originally thought that Muxun was not interested in such things.

"No." Mu Xun's face flushed slightly, and he said with some difficulty: "It's my sword, it suddenly became a little out of control."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng hurriedly looked at the black sword in Mu Xun's hand and found that the black sword was trembling slightly, as if trying to escape from Mu Xun's palm.

Seeing this, Song Zhi couldn't help but have an unprecedented solemn look on his face. A sword could suddenly become out of control of its owner. There was only one possibility: there was a spirit in the sword!

Only a sword with a sword spirit can resist the control of its master, but as far as Song Zhi knows, generally only divine swords of grade six or above can give birth to sword spirits.

Mu Xun held the black sword tightly in his hands with both hands. This was the sword that Mu Qun had given him first, and he must not throw it away.

Just as the black sword was vibrating more and more violently, a black bead suddenly flew from a grocery stall closest to Mu Changsheng and the other two towards Mu Xun, and then tightly attached itself to the black sword. The black sword suddenly calmed down due to the arrival of the bead and stopped vibrating.

"My beads!" The owner of the black bead stall shouted when he saw this, and then quickly stood in front of Mu Changsheng and the other two, staring at the black sword and black beads in Mu Xun's hand, and said unkindly: "Give me back my beads."

At this time, Mu Changsheng and the other two were a little confused. First, the black sword was out of control, and then the black bead flew towards them on its own. All of this was a little unbelievable and beyond their comprehension.

At the same time, Mu Changsheng and the other three, as well as the stall owner, realized one thing, that is, the black bead was most likely extremely extraordinary, otherwise it would not have the ability to fly actively.

"I want to buy this bead." Mu Xun said firmly. He thought more than Mu Changsheng and the others. His black sword was given to him by Mu Qunxian himself, so it was very likely to be extraordinary. This black bead seemed to be closely related to his black sword, so he was determined to get the black bead.

"I don't want to sell it. Give the beads back to me." The stall owner refused directly, and his tone was extremely impolite. If fighting was not prohibited in Nansha City, he would have been unable to resist and snatched the black beads back.

"I used to think that the black bead was useless except for being hard, but I didn't expect it could actually fly by itself. It must be a treasure. Even if I sell it, I have to sell it at a very good price. These three guys are only at the Foundation Establishment stage, how many spirit stones can they give them?" The stall owner thought secretly, his calculations in his mind were already clattering.
