C1266 The Owner of the Crystal

Boss, is it as exaggerated as you say? Although we are secretly mining rare ores here, although it violates the laws here, we are not the only ones mining here. At worst, we just have to escape with our things, I have no objections when dealing with the mining workers, but we can sell our things cheaply to outsiders. At this time, a young man about the same age as Yuan Meng asked.2

At that time, I thought we found a rare ore and was overjoyed for a while, but then I realized that this mine was actually connected to the City Lord's private ore vein. If I didn't look at the mine vein map, I wouldn't have known about this, and only discovered it in time. Yuan Meng looked at the young man in front of him and said coldly.

The young man's body quivered. He really did not know that he was feeling guilty at this moment, as his boss was doing everything for their own good. He should not have questioned his boss just now, but he was not the only one who was shocked.

After so many years, no one dared to oppose the mayor's decision, so his influence could be imagined. Even if he lent them 100 times the courage, they wouldn't dare to make an enemy out of the mayor, and now, they had taken his things. This was not a joke, if their boss hadn't discovered it in time, they really wouldn't have been able to escape the mayor's wrath.

Although we haven't been discovered for so long, we can't be lucky. Being discovered is something that will happen sooner or later, this time, because he doesn't know us and doesn't know the truth of the matter, so he dared to collect all of these things, and secondly, even if he was discovered, the mayor will naturally go and find trouble with him, and when he leaves, the mayor will also be lured away, and we might still have a chance of survival. So, we have to act quickly and receive the money and leave immediately. Although Yuan Meng was explaining to them, his ice-cold voice made them all tremble. They all obediently nodded their heads and went to prepare.

The reason why Yuan Meng placed the trade location here, was because he was afraid that this person would attack them and ambush them. Other than some powerful helpers, other than him who could fight with him, the rest of them were just like him, this was a place where trouble erupted. If he wanted to make a move, he had to think about it, cause the City Lord's guards to come over, and even if he wanted to get anything, it would be hard to leave here.

Zhong Ming did not care too much about it and knew what Yuan Meng planned to do, but since he had already done so, he did not need to worry about any tricks he might play or anything he would do, and similarly, he would not have the chance to leave Luo Shan City. This kind of result was not what they wanted to see, thus Zhong Ming felt that it would be much safer to do business in the city than in the wilderness.

However, even so, Yuan Meng had already made the appropriate preparations for the journey. It was necessary to be careful with two hands, and so he arranged things, and Zhong Ming who had just left, sat on the carriage for a period of time, stopped in front of a quiet garden, paid for the carriage, and slowly walked over. Here, there was only a simple wooden sign hanging on top of a tree with the words' Wan Mao Trading Company 'written on it.

This place was different from the other shops, and used the terrain here to establish an original ecological shop. Zhong Ming walked along the small path for a hundred steps, and only then did he see an elder seated on a rattan chair, leisurely reading a book, as if Zhong Ming was just air, completely unconcerned, did not even raise his head, and did not even know what miraculous things were written in the book. Zhong Ming had already walked past him, but he did not react at all, and as he was actually a Soul Formation Cultivator, even if there was something important in the book, it would attract him, and not even people would notice it.

Zhong Ming quietly released his Deficiency Cultivator's imposing aura and lightly punished him, then, he turned around and disappeared into the dense forest. The old man's face had already turned pale white, his back was already drenched in sweat, he did not dare delay and immediately sent a message to inform the person inside, this young man was a late stage Refinement Realm cultivator, he was not someone they could control, this person had the qualifications to enter their Wan Mao Trading Company.

The forest road was very long, and with Zhong Ming's speed, he managed to walk for the time it took to make a cup of tea. A three-story building made of wood appeared in front of him, although it was not as luxurious as the City Lord's, the carvings here were simple and elegant.

As the old man had already told the people inside beforehand, there would already be people coming out to receive them. Zhong Ming raised his head and saw that the person who came out to receive them was a beautiful woman. Her black hair was tied up high in a bun and there was nothing else other than a gold hairpin on her head.

"Welcome to Wan Mao Trading Company, senior, please come in."

Zhong Ming nodded and followed the young woman inside. Upon entering the door, it fluctuated, even with Zhong Ming's identity as a Mahayana Stage Cultivator, he felt that there was a hint of danger, it seemed that there was an expert who had set up the array formation here, but for a high ranking Master of Formation like Zhong Ming, it was no problem at all.

Zhong Ming looked at the arrangement of the place, on the opposite wall hung a simple and unadorned picture scroll, on it was a scenery of ice and snow, a Ice sword in the air released a cold aura, Zhong Ming's pupils contracted, it seemed that what made Zhong Ming feel uncomfortable was the picture, the location of the Formation Eye Formation.

"What did senior see?" The young maiden saw the look in Zhong Ming's eyes and understood that this senior was proficient in the art of array formations. He was the first person who was able to easily dispel the array and was even able to notice the difference in the rune scroll the moment he came in. Although he did not say anything, his actions did not go unnoticed by her.

"It's not common to see someone hiding a formation inside a painting. Once caught, there's a chance that the formation will fall. The methods that are laid out are really strange and knowledgeable." Zhong Ming nodded and praised.

"Senior is too kind, to be able to see the difference in this place so quickly, the person that can dissolve the formation power here, senior is the number one person, senior can go to the top of our Wan Mao Trading Company, you have the qualifications." The young woman praised.

The young woman did not hesitate to bring Zhong Ming up the stairs and up to the second floor as well. Zhong Ming saw that there was actually an old man sitting there, although his appearance showed that he was not young, but his face did not have much wrinkles, and was completely different from his outer appearance. It could be seen that when he was young, he was also a beauty.

"Senior Hong, this senior has already seen through the peculiarity of the magical formation downstairs. That's why I brought him here to meet Lady Yu." The young woman bowed and said.

"This Fellow Daoists, to be able to discover the formation in the middle of our hall so quickly, he must not be an ordinary person. Fellow Daoists's cultivation is also concealed, I'm not wrong." The old woman said lightly.

Hearing that, the woman looked carefully, and her face instantly changed, she did not think that the person she was welcoming was actually a senior warrior of the Demon Lord's level. Zhong Ming did not know what technique Zhong Ming used to check on his cultivation, so what if they knew?

Zhong Ming then looked at the old lady, and was shocked, this person was actually a Demon Elder Ranker, he did not expect the Wan Mao Trading Company to have such a powerful expert overseeing it.

"The reason why I was able to conceal my cultivation was so that it would be convenient for me to handle matters. However, I was surprised to be able to encounter a Demon Lord here." Zhong Ming did not hold back. Although he had discovered his own cultivation level, he could only see that Zhong Ming was in the late stage of Body Fusion. If it was true that Zhong Ming was already a late stage Grand Master, he would not be so calm.

"Alright, you can go now. I will bring this Fellow Daoists inside." The old woman said to the young woman.

"Alright, sorry to trouble you, senior." The young woman bowed and then went downstairs.

"It has been a long time since a Demon Lord has come to our Wan Mao Trading Company. If you have any questions, feel free to ask." After she finished speaking, the old woman took Zhong Ming across the second floor and directly went to the third floor …
