Under Ghost City.
" The living, ten black crystals."
Just as the two of them reached the entrance of Ghost City, they were blocked by two ghost soldiers.
"Here."
Xia Ji took out 20 black crystals and handed them over. At the same time, she turned to Su Qing and explained," Black crystals are a special type of stone. They contain a special energy that can be used for cultivation. They are also the currency of Ghost City.”
Hearing this, Su Qing silently looked at the ring in his hand. If he was not mistaken, the black crystals in the ring seemed to have piled up into a small mountain.
Moreover, beside the black crystal, there were a few other crystals. They should be even more precious than the black crystal.
He would never have thought that Xia Ji was a rich woman in the ghost circle.
At the same time, he couldn't figure out why Xia Ji would give him so many black crystals.
Even if he were to protect her, he wouldn't have to pay so much.
While Su Qing was thinking, Xia Ji had already brought him into Ghost City.
Just like any other ancient city, there were streets in the middle and various buildings on both sides.
There were also many stalls selling goods on the street.
In short, at a glance, there were demons and ghosts everywhere.
For some reason, Su Qing felt her hands itch.
Endure!
Su Qing tried her best to control herself. She was afraid that she might accidentally shout.
Once he roared, he would be satisfied. He reckoned that the boss of Ghost City would come to kill him immediately.
In the past, he might have been able to do as he pleased. However, after learning about the Netherworld's strength from Darknight, he knew that there was always someone stronger than him. His strength did not allow him to be so high-profile.
"The Yao Core you want is a consumable item. You can go to the store or the auction house.”
At this point, Xia Ji smiled and continued," I know that you don't like ordinary demon cores, so we'll go directly to the auction house to see if there are any gains. As far as I know, there are many good things circulating here every time the market opens.”
Su Qing nodded. As long as there was.
After walking for about ten minutes, the two of them stood outside a special building.
It was completely black and extremely tall. There were two huge black lions tied outside the door. In short, it was obvious that it was not ordinary.
After entering the auction house and obtaining two tickets, the two of them directly entered the venue.
At this moment, there were already many demons and ghosts gathered at the venue. At a glance, there were almost no human-like people.
"If I'm not wrong, there shouldn't be only monsters from Tangzhong District here.”
Su Qing asked as she looked at the dense group of ghosts.
"Yes."
"Ghost cities are special buildings that can appear in different places at the same time, so there are likely ghosts from other places here.”
Xia Ji explained.
The two of them quickly chose their seats and sat down quietly.
The auction also began to proceed normally.
Perhaps it was because the big shot behind Ghost City did not encounter any trouble. Soon, a demon core was successfully auctioned off by Xia Ji.
Three hours later.
Outside the auction house.
"How is it? I told you this place is not bad.”
In three hours, the two of them successfully bought 50 demon cores.
Among them, there were the most demon cores of the great demon level, a total of 40, while there were only ten demon cores of the demon king level.
However, this was enough to satisfy Su Qing.
On average, a big demon's demon core could bring him about 700 units of black gas.
40 pills were equivalent to 28,000 units of black gas.
A demon core at the level of a demon king contained an average of 2,500 units of black gas, which was 25,000 units of black gas.
In total, there were more than 50,000 units of black gas. Including his remaining black gas, there were about 65,000 units of black gas.
If he worked harder, he would probably be able to activate the second level of the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
Thinking of this, Su Qing couldn't help but feel excited.
"If only I could come more often."
Su Qing could not help but sigh.
It is easy to go from simplicity to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to thrift.
Who would be willing to run around if they could save time and effort to obtain black gas?
"Don't think too much."
Xia Ji said from the side.
"Why do you say that?"
Su Qing turned around and asked.
" The Ghost Market is held once a year. I just happened to run into it this time, and it's also because of the recent changes in the world that have caused the overall cultivation of the ghosts and monsters to increase. Otherwise, there would only be a few demon cores at the level of a demon king in an auction.”
Xia Ji explained seriously.
Su Qing was a little disappointed when she heard that. It seemed that there was no way to pay to level up. She still had to rely on killing monsters to level up.
However, if he thought about it another way, there might not have been any black qi at all. Now that there was so much black qi out of thin air, it was already a pleasant surprise. There was no need to force so much.
Thinking of this, Su Qing looked up at Xia Ji and said softly," Tell me, what do you need my help with? I don't believe that an apology will make you pay so much.”
"Fifty Yao Cores is probably not a small amount, but it only cost a small portion of the black crystals in the ring. I don't believe you'll let me take such a huge fortune for free.”
Su Qing had already felt that something was wrong when she put the ring on her finger.
However, he didn't think too much about it at that time. Now that he thought about it carefully, there was no such good thing.
Moreover, he didn't think he was that close to Xia Ji.
Unless there was something else.
As expected, after hearing this, Xia Ji's expression changed significantly.
However, he quickly recovered.
"Don't think too much. You said you would protect me. How can you protect me if you don't become stronger? I'm doing this for myself.”
Xia Ji looked straight at Su Qing and said with a serious expression.
Protect him?
Su Qing lowered her head and thought for a moment. Suddenly, she was stunned.
She raised her head and asked," You're not asking me to protect you forever, are you?”
Other than this possibility, he couldn't think of anything else that could make Xia Ji pay such a huge price.
Xia Ji blushed slightly when she heard that. Although her expression did not change, her body's instinctive reaction betrayed her.
At this moment, Su Qing felt that the demon core in the ring was a little hot.
Good heavens, this was completely plotting against him.
However, he had to admit that the vixen was indeed powerful. This demon core was really difficult for him to reject.
"What's wrong? Do you want to go back on your word?"
At this point, Xia Ji could not help but say sadly," Indeed, men are all pig trotters. They are all scumbags.”
Su Qing was speechless.
"Alright, so be it. It's not a big deal.”
To Su Qing, protecting Xia Ji was as simple as protecting Guan Yue.
Whoever did it would be done. There might even be benefits to be gained.
Hearing Su Qing's words, Xia Ji's expression turned into a smile, as if the sadness just now was an illusion.
Su Qing looked at Xia Ji and shook her head helplessly.
At the same time, Xia Ji stole a glance at Su Qing.
"Should I be honest with him? It's too embarrassing.”
She was feeling very complicated. After all, things were not as simple as they seemed.
In the end, Xia Ji chose to wait.
He would tell Su Qing the truth when he found a good opportunity.
With the demon core in hand, Su Qing left Ghost City in a hurry because he was afraid that he could not help but be chivalrous.
"How are you going to deal with the school?”
After leaving the ghost market, the two of them no longer needed to hide and directly began to communicate like normal people.
"Do as you see fit. I don't have any objections even if you fire me.”
Now that his biggest wish had been fulfilled, there was no need for him to care about this anymore.
"Don't worry, it's impossible to fire him.”
Xia Ji couldn't help but ask," Logically speaking, you're so strong. If you reveal a little, you can avoid all of this. Why do you have to keep hiding?"”
Hearing this, Su Qing stopped in her tracks and turned around with a smile." I just want to be an ordinary person."”
Xia Ji was speechless.
Ordinary people?
With such powerful strength, it was simply a fantasy to still want to be an ordinary person.
Since ancient times, there had never been an expert who could be ordinary. This was because this world seemed to have a special power. The more special a person was, the more special things they would encounter.
However, she had nothing to say since she wanted to be an ordinary person.
