Mo Hei nodded slightly, and together with Jian Chen from the Blood Sword Hall, Yan Chixia from the Prince Yan's Mansion, Yun Xiao from the Qingcheng Yun family, and of course Ming Fang and others, they went to Zuixian Tower for negotiations.

Rather than saying it was a negotiation, it would be more accurate to say that Mo Hei was trying to be evasive and try every possible means to accept bribes and defraud spirit stones, making these people think carefully.

After that, Mo Hei really lived in Zuixian Tower, and there were endless visitors every day, all of whom were looking for Mo Hei to build relationships with him so that they could have a convenient time in the ruins of the Ice God Palace.

Mo Hei is naturally happy to see everyone and accepts everyone who comes.

"Fellow Daoist Jian Chen, have you made up your mind about this visit? I wonder how many spirit stones you have prepared as a deposit?"

After welcoming Jian Chen and the other two into the guest room where he lived in Zuixianlou, Mo Hei just closed the door and went straight to the point and asked for the exit.

Jian Chen asked this question with a forced smile, but instead asked:

"I wonder how many spirit stones Fellow Daoist Mo has received in the past few days?"

"Just like running a business, the most important thing is honesty and integrity. Fellow Daoist Jianchen, and everyone else, is it difficult to understand this?"

Mo Hei was not vague either. He took out a jade slip from his storage ring, which he had purchased with a spirit stone, and handed it over directly.

"As the saying goes, you can't afford to suffer a loss, and you can't afford to be deceived. Why don't you see it with your own eyes? It's worth a thousand words from me."

Jian Chen took the jade slip with suspicion in his hand, paused for a moment, and then placed it between his eyebrows. After a closer look, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he asked in disbelief:

"Shui Rou, the granddaughter of Deacon Shui Mo of Jubao Pavilion, as well as Wu Tai of the Wu family in Tianhe City, and the Ye family of Yanyue Sect, have all given fellow Daoist a deposit of 500 spirit stones?"

Mo Hei picked up the fragrant tea on the table, took a sip nonchalantly, and then said slowly:

"It is indeed as I have seen. Therefore, once we enter the Ice God Palace ruins, if we encounter these fellow Taoists, I will vouch for my integrity and will offer my full assistance."

"Brother Jian Chen, let me take a look too."

Jianxia, ​​a female cultivator who also came from the Saibei Blood Sword Hall, couldn't resist her curiosity. She took the jade slip and placed it between her eyebrows to examine it. Then, a hint of surprise appeared in her beautiful dark eyes.

The remaining male cultivator named Jian Tai also examined the jade slip and turned to look at Jian Chen, saying with some interest:

"Brother Jianchen, how about we also give this Daoist Fellow Mo some spirit stones as a deposit?"

Jian Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, but he saw Mo Hei was calm and composed, sitting quietly, sipping tea leisurely, and there was nothing wrong with him saying:

"The spirit stone deposit is easy to deal with, but if at the critical moment, Fellow Daoist Mo has taken all the spirit stones, how should we deal with them so that we can maintain an even hand?"

"Don't bother Fellow Daoist Jian Chen with this, since Shui Rou, Ye Feng, Wu Tai, oh! By the way, there's also Fellow Daoist Yan Chixia who came from Prince Yan's Mansion yesterday.

I've already paid a deposit of spirit stones. If you encounter me in the Ice God Palace ruins and need a Fire Sheep Dragon Beast to solve a problem, I will certainly oblige you."

Mo Hei spoke indifferently, then put down his teacup and said:

"Of course, if Fellow Daoist Jian Chen doesn't trust me and is unwilling to pay the spirit stone deposit, then if we meet in the Ice God Palace ruins, please don't blame me for being partial."

When Jian Chen and the other two heard this, they were filled with anger. Wasn't it obvious that this was just raising the price?

Just then, at an inopportune moment, there was a knock on the door.

Mo Hei's spiritual sense swept over and saw that it was the waiter of Zuixianlou, and asked calmly:

"What's the matter?"

The waiter replied respectfully:

"In reply to the guest's official message, Miss Mingfang from Mingjiabao is here to visit."

"Got it. Let her wait for a moment."

Mo Hei looked calm and spoke calmly, as if he had known that the other party would come.

"Yes."

The waiter immediately responded and left.

Jian Chen's face was very ugly, and he agreed deeply. This was the true face of Fellow Daoist Mo, who looked ugly and ferocious. It was obvious that he was using a tiger's skin as a banner.

Just like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten.

This is easy to understand. The Ice God Palace ruins are about to open. Compared with the future, these are just a few spirit stones, which are really too insignificant.

Even though we know that there is a possibility of failure, as long as there is even a slight chance, we will spare no effort to fight for it.

Otherwise, when the critical moment comes, you will regret it if you lose the big picture because of the small things.

After thinking it over again and again, Jian Chen placed a bag of spirit stones on the table and said meaningfully:

"As the saying goes, greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. Daoist Mo, please don't be too greedy, or you will end up spending your life after you have earned it."

Mo Hei was like a desperado, fearless, and shrugged and said:

"Fellow Daoist Jian Chen, I've heard so much of what he said that my ears are almost callused."

Jian Chen, who had no choice but to hand over a bag of spirit stones as a deposit, asked curiously:

"Oh! So there are other fellow Taoists who have said the same thing."

Mo Hei took the bag of spirit stones in his hand, weighed it, and sighed that he was indeed a wealthy second-generation man, and was very generous in his spending.

It was comparable to when he was still in the human world. After changing his mind, Mo Hei put it into the space ring and said:

"Of course. Wu Tai from the Wu family in Tianhe City once said the same thing to me."

"In that case, fellow Daoist, it's best to pray that your Fire Sheep Dragon Beast is worth these five hundred spirit stones. Otherwise, the spirit stones from my Saibei Blood Sword Hall are not so easy to come by. Farewell."

Jian Chen had no choice but to leave after saying these harsh words. It was obvious that he was very aggrieved and annoyed.

"By the way, fellow Daoist Jian, please return the jade slip to me. I need it to continue my business negotiations."

Seeing Jian Chen and others open the door and stride away, Mo Hei still sat safely and shouted casually.

Jian Tai couldn't help but be stunned, still holding the jade slip. After a pause, he couldn't help but get angry. He raised his hand, and the jade slip shot straight towards Mo Hei's face with a sound of breaking through the air.

"call out!"

Mo Hei was not angry when he saw this. He waited until it was in front of him, then he casually stretched out two fingers and pinched it.

But you have to know that this sword moss is also in the late stage of Qi Building, yet he can use all his strength to launch such a strike.

However, it was easily cracked by the ugly-looking Fellow Daoist Mo. This shows that this person is quite capable.

This forced Jian Chen to look at him differently and put away his contempt.

After showing off this skill, Mo Hei said calmly:

"Everyone, rest assured. Just like I accept money to do things for others, I still have a moral integrity. Otherwise, Shui Rou, Fellow Daoist Ye Feng and others would not be willing to pay the spirit stone deposit in advance to show their sincerity."

This is indeed true. If Jian Chen and others had not seen this scene, they would not have acted so decisively. This is just like how people tend to follow the crowd.

Moreover, the scene copied out by this jade slip does not seem to be fake. It seems to be a real scene that is presented entirely based on memory.

"So best."

Jian Chen had no choice but to leave angrily.

Shortly after the three people left, Mo Hei stood up and personally welcomed Mingfang into the room.

"It seems like you've received quite a few spirit stones these days!"

As Mingfang entered the room, there was a hint of mockery in her tone.

"I wonder how much spirit stone deposit you will give me?"

Mo Hei, however, asked calmly and calmly, sitting quietly by himself, showing no hospitality at all.

Mingfang didn't care, she just stood there in the guest room and said directly:

"I came here this time because my ancestor wanted to see you."

Mo Hei picked up the teacup, drank the tea leisurely and asked:

"Why do you want to see me? Could it be that your ancestor also wants to enter the Ice God Palace ruins?"

Mingfang shook her head slightly and said:

"I don't know about that. Maybe it's because I heard you talk about the Demon Child and the Holy Son that I became interested and wanted to meet you."

Mo Hei gently put down the teacup and said:

"I'm sorry, I don't have time to meet you right now. Let's talk about it after I come out of the Ice God Palace ruins."

Mingfang was obviously no longer in a negotiating tone, but said in a resolute tone:

"This is not up to you. My ancestor is at least a powerful being in the Infant Transformation Stage. I think it would be best if you could go with me to see him as soon as possible."

Mo Hei was slightly startled, knowing that those who came were not kind and those who were kind would not come, so he could only pretend to be polite and said with a smile:

"Then I shall have no choice but to obey."

As Mo Hei was speaking, he suddenly attacked and immediately used the Pi Xin Ba Bu. With a flash, he appeared behind Ming Fang like a ghost.

Before Mingfang could react, she was hit hard on the back of her neck. She suddenly felt a black screen in front of her eyes, her body went limp, and she fainted.

Although Mo Hei and Ming Fang are both in the Qi Building Stage, Mo Hei cultivates the Spirit Demon Qi, which is naturally slightly better.

What's more, Mo Hei's sudden and unexpected attack caught Ming Fang off guard, so he was hit hard and had no power to fight back.

"Bring it to you."

Mo Hei's attack was successful. He first took back the fire locust wings that Mingfang wore on her bun, and then he started to search her body and took away her storage bag.

Only then did he change his clothes, closed the door and left quietly.

When passing by the lobby on the first floor of Zuixianlou, Mo Heiyin noticed that the beautiful woman in the Root Establishment Stage named Chou Qianxue was sitting at the wine table in the lobby, talking and laughing with several people from Mingjiabao.

"Who is the ancestor of Ming Family Castle? Could he be that old man Ying's accomplice? It seems that I should go to Beiyang City first. I feel more confident with Xiaobaigu protecting me."

Mo Hei thought so and walked out of Zuixian Tower calmly. In the gray sky, braving the wind and snow, he headed straight towards Beiyang City.

It was not until Mo Hei had gone away for a while that Chou Qianxue felt something was wrong. Why had her young lady been upstairs for so long and still not come down?

Only because Mingfang repeatedly told me to do so did I stay downstairs and wait. But this was too long!
