Sure enough, under the eyes of Tian Ming's eyes, after penetrating through the layers of skin, Qin Cheng saw clearly that inside the demon stone was a mixture of purple and gold spiritual energy.

This area is not large, just a little bigger than a palm, but the aura is really full.

And it’s purple-gold? This is the first time I’ve seen this color.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise, and Qin Cheng became interested.

The golden brilliance of the demon stone, the treasures inside are of the same level as the Huangming Jade Pendant and the Demon Clan Jade Slips, and the purple ones are the second-class treasures.

And this nod, is it another jade slip?

I really didn't expect that in this treasure pavilion, I actually picked up real treasures.

Qin Cheng's eyes flashed with excitement.

The location of this small demon stone is not far from Lu Chuan's specially arranged demon stone, only a few meters away.

In other words, if I hadn't discovered Lu Chuan's plan and walked here specially, I wouldn't have discovered the existence of this demonic stone.

I'm afraid the white-bearded old man doesn't know this either.

After all, generally if the demon stone is not opened, no one knows the texture and preservation condition of the treasure inside.

Even if he randomly finds thousands of demon stones and puts them here, there is still a possibility that a treasure will appear.

Above purple is gold. With this demonic stone, we will definitely win this competition.

But Qin Cheng was also a little curious.

This demonic stone is purple-gold in color. Is the quality of the treasure inside it somewhere between the two, or is there another mystery behind it?

After thinking for a few more seconds, Qin Cheng's eyes suddenly felt painful, like a needle pricking him, leaving two tears instantly.

I can't look at it anymore. Anyway, once I cut it open, everything will be known.

Qin Cheng didn't have any choice and directly installed the purple gold demon stone.

While Qin Cheng and Lu Chuan were selecting demon stones, the atmosphere on the first floor was somewhat strange.

The white-bearded old man sat cross-legged at the counter with a helpless expression. Opposite him sat Hu Ningyan and Yuan Qiuxia.

The six people stared at each other in silence.

Suddenly, the old man's ears moved.

"Two fellow Taoists, a friend has contacted me. If you don't mind, can you allow me to communicate with my friend?"

Originally, the old man didn't need to ask about these things, but he was frightened by Qin Cheng's illness before, and he was very afraid that the two of them would cause trouble again.

"Fellow Taoist, do whatever you want."

However, neither Yuan Qiuxia nor Yuan Qiuxia had any objections. If others wanted to transmit the message, they had no right to interfere, not to mention it had nothing to do with the competition.

After waiting for the answer, the old man picked up the jade slip with a smile.

"Fourth Elder, I sensed a vibration in the Treasure Pavilion before. The First Elder asked me to ask if there is anything wrong with the plan."

When the sound transmission was connected, a man's slightly nervous inquiry immediately came from the other side.

"It's okay, it's just a small accident. It won't affect the overall situation."

At this time, the old man's voice was a little cold, no longer as gentle as the shopkeeper's, and it had the air of a superior.

"Please rest assured, Great Elder. This matter is related to our Hidden Demon Society's ability to successfully approach Hu Ningyan and even infiltrate into the Fox Clan. We have been planning ahead for so long, so I will be extremely careful to ensure that no mistakes are made."

If these words were heard by the Ape Demon Emperor or other Demon Emperors, they would definitely be shocked.

Unexpectedly, the remnants of the Hidden Demon Society they were looking for not only did not hide in the dark, but even boldly approached the demon royal family.

"That's good. Thank you for your hard work, Fourth Elder. Our Hidden Demon Society has been dormant for so long. As long as we can win the trust and even the protection of the Demon Clan Princess and blend into it in the future, we will have the capital to make a comeback."

The voice on the other side was also smiling.

"Hmph, it's not just a comeback. When we accumulate enough strength, we will have to settle all the previous debts." The old man also sneered.

"By the way, I feel that Hu Ningyan has brought two strange monks today, and they look very unusual to me. Send someone to investigate and find out the identities of these two people as quickly as possible."

Although Hu Ningyan disguised herself and concealed her aura and appearance, the old man already knew the identity of Hu Ningyan, the princess of the Fox Clan, because of Lu Chuan.

As for being able to compete with Hu Ningyan without even a trace of fear, the old man was keenly aware that Yuan Qiuxia was probably not an ordinary demon clan.

Although it had no impact on the plan, the old man still planned to find out more.

"clear."

After that man learned some of the information he heard from the old man, he ended the message transmission.

At this time, Lu Chuan had returned to the first floor, and Qin Cheng also walked down to the second floor after grabbing two demon stones.

"Everyone, have you finished selecting the demon stones?"

Seeing the four people gathered on the first floor, the white-bearded old man smiled and regained his appearance as a friendly shopkeeper.

He was even very polite to Qin Cheng, who had cheated him before.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, these are the twenty demon stones we selected. Please use your formation to break them open."

Lu Chuan smiled slightly, having already sent a message to Hu Ningyan to confirm that everything was going well.

In this competition, they are sure to win.

"Of course there's no problem with that."

The white-bearded old man also smiled.

"etc."

But what a few people didn't expect was that someone questioned it again this time.

And it's not Qin Cheng, but Yuan Qiuxia.

"Fellow Taoist Lu, did you just address this fellow Taoist as shopkeeper Zhang?" Yuan Qiuxia frowned.

"But it seems that the shopkeeper never introduced himself from beginning to end."

"Is it possible that you have known each other for a long time?"

Noticing Yuan Qiuxia's doubtful gaze, Lu Chuan's expression froze.

Just now I was so proud that I seemed to blurt out the words.

The old man with white beard twitched his eyebrows and almost couldn't help but slap Lu Chuan.

This piece of rubbish really succeeds more than fails. It's almost finished. Why are you calling me by my last name?

"Fellow Taoists, my surname is indeed Zhang, but as I said before, maybe you didn't pay attention, and only Taoist friend Lu heard it." The white-bearded old man explained with a smile.

"Is that so?" Yuan Qiuxia thought about it carefully, but she didn't seem to have such an impression.

"It's true. Fellow Daoist Yuan, you are so focused on the demon stone that you may have overlooked it." Lu Chuan also quickly smiled.

"Stop wasting your time. Even if the two of them know each other, what does it matter? Could the demon stone still be fake?" Hu Ningyan waved her hand impatiently.

"Open these demonic stones directly."

"good."

The white-bearded old man was not willing to struggle with this issue, so he quickly stepped forward and brought the demon stones from both sides to the special formation.

"Fellow Taoists, although this formation is not small, it can only break through ten demon stones at most at one time. I wonder which of you will come first?" the white-bearded old man asked.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, I don't think we should open them all at once. Let's open five of them first to add a bit of suspense to the competition." Lu Chuan said with a smile.

"Two fellow Taoists, you probably don't have any objections either."

"casual."

Of course Qin Cheng had no objection to this. As for Lu Chuan's intentions, he could more or less guess it.
