"It's been strange lately. Apparently not many people came here for most of the past month."

Sitting in that corner, the old man muttered and spoke alone.

After Chen Changming stood there for a while, he stood up and walked out of the corner, with a smile on his face: "What does this guest need?"

“Our services here are very comprehensive.”

"What the hell?"

Looking at the old man in front of him, Chen Changming asked with interest. At this time, he found it quite interesting.

"It depends on the needs of the guests."

Standing there, with the dim light outside, the old man saw Chen Changming's appearance clearly, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

People who come to this place are generally not normal people.

People like Chen Changming who look young and look like a young master are really rare.

However, he did not neglect, he just smiled and said: "I mainly do business here. Whether you want to buy or sell something, I can do it here."

"What if it's murder?"

Chen Changming smiled and spoke softly.

The old man was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect these words to come out of Chen Changming's mouth.

"It seems we are serious guests this time."

After thinking for a moment, this idea flashed through his mind, and then he continued: "Then it depends on the guest who you want to kill."

“We won’t accept orders from some people here.”

“Looks like you found the right place”

After listening to the old man's words, Chen Changming's face was calm, and this thought flashed through his mind.

Even taking orders for killing people, it seems like this is not an ordinary place.

From the looks of it, Chen Changming found the right person this time.

"Let's leave aside the matter of murder for now. The main reason I came here this time is to get some information."

Chen Changming glanced at the old man and spoke like this.

"what news?"

The old man continued to ask without showing any strange expression on his face.

Look at this, professional ethics is very impressive.

But soon, his expression could no longer be maintained.

"I want to find information about the practitioners. I wonder if you have any here?"

Chen Changming spoke softly, his expression did not change at all, he just asked straightforwardly.

The old man's face suddenly stiffened, and he was stunned. His previous calm expression could no longer be maintained.

"Your Excellency, you"

He stared blankly at Chen Changming in front of him, and stayed there for a long time before finally reacting: "I wonder what the young master wants to know?

"How to enter a sect of practitioners?"

Chen Changming looked at the old man and spoke steadily.

"I have this news here."

The old man pondered for a moment, and then tentatively reported the number: "Five thousand taels of silver?"

"make a deal."

Chen Changming nodded directly without raising his head.

This number is not much, it can even be said to be very low, far exceeding Chen Changming's previous expectations.

He originally thought that when it came to the level of practitioners, this kind of information would be very expensive.

But I didn't expect that I could buy it for five thousand taels of silver.

As an alchemist, Chen Changming naturally cannot be short of money. It is only five thousand taels of silver, but it is just a matter of refining a few more furnaces of elixirs, which is not worth mentioning at all.

"readily."

The old man smiled, then pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's just a coincidence."

"In previous years, if you wanted to join a certain sect, you had to wait for a fixed time, and then wait for several sects to send people to recruit disciples."

"But recently, I happened to have an opportunity."

"what chance?"

Chen Changming spoke softly and asked directly.

"The Taiyuan is recruiting disciples, do you know?"

Looking at Chen Changming, the old man did not answer his question directly, but changed his tone and said this.

"Know."

Chen Changming nodded: "But what does it matter?"

"As far as I know, Taiyuan is just an ordinary place, right?"

The Taiyuan of the Jin State was indeed a good place, and martial arts were also taught there.

But this is more of just gold plating. Where can a person with a serious family background and talent go to learn skills?

"It may not have mattered in the past, but it will matter soon."

The old man smiled, and then said: "The Taiyuan's recruitment of disciples this time has something to do with this."

"Could it be"

Chen Changming paused and suddenly thought of something.

"As long as you pass this test, you will have the opportunity to join a sect."

The old man spoke softly: "Of course, I only know this. I don't know the specific situation."

"But as far as I know, as long as you pass this test, your chances are high."

"Is that so?"

Chen Changming stood there with a calm face, deep in thought.

This news is just right for Chen Changming.

Originally, he was not very interested in Taiyuan recruiting disciples this time.

But now it seems that he can't fly away from this test.

However, the news is a bit vague, so it’s no wonder the price is just like this.

"A vague message, five thousand taels of silver is a bit expensive."

Chen Changming spoke softly, looked at the old man in front of him and said this.

"But I did tell you what you wanted to know, didn't I?"

The old man's expression remained unchanged, he just shook his head and said this.

Chen Changming did not refute, but silently took out a wad of banknotes from his arms, then turned and left.

Standing there, looking at Chen Changming's leaving figure, the old man smiled and said alone: ​​"Another ordinary person dreaming of seeking immortality."

He spoke softly, his voice was very soft and a little joking.

Seeing this, I feel very unfavorable towards Chen Changming.

But think about it.

If you want to join a certain sect of practitioners, the first thing you need is to have spiritual wisdom.

And how can anyone have such a thing as spiritual wisdom?

If that were the case, then practitioners wouldn't be as scarce as they are now, and they should have disappeared from the streets long ago.

During this period of time, the old man must have met many people like Chen Changming.

However, what the old man didn't know was.

Although his words were very slight, his words were still accurately heard by Chen Changming.

Not only did I hear it, but I heard it very clearly.

"Looking at it like this, there must be a lot of people asking questions recently."

Listening to the old man's words, this idea flashed through Chen Changming's mind subconsciously.

He didn't mind what the old man said.

People are always like this, nothing special.
