Celestial Emperor 2
Ch. 505 - Hidden Monitor Array
As Qin Shan and San Jinsheng walked into the Monarch Pill Exchange Hall, suddenly came a green-robed man who approached the two of them.
When this green-robed man appeared, all the cultivators present in that place immediately became noisier. Who among them doesn't know about it? That person is the owner of the Monarch Pill Exchange Hall?
“Welcome Friend Dao. I was so busy earlier that I didn't notice your presence. As an apology, I am the one who will serve you personally.” said the green-robed man as he cupped his hands towards Qin Shan.
When this happened, Qin Shan and San Jinsheng became a little surprised. The green-robed man in front of them was currently an intermediate Heavenly God. It was surprising that he was willing to be a personal servant to them.
“It's okay, after all we don't want to look too flashy. But since I had to get things done quickly, I had no other choice but to cut the queue. Then, thank you for your previous offer, we will count on you.” Qin Shan said as he cupped his hands.
“So so. Since this Dao Friend does not have much time to explore my Monarch Pill Exchange Hall, then I wonder what you need in this place?” asked the green-robed man with a smile.
When Qin Shan heard this, he immediately knew that the position of this green-robed man in the Monarch Pill Exchange Hall must have been very high. In fact he thought that this green-robed man might be the owner of the Monarch Pill Exchange Hall. And that's true.
“Not much, I just want to exchange my spiritual plant for Dragon Token. Can it?” qin Shan replied and he asked the green-robed man.
“So this Dao Friend gave a Dragon Token to meet the Xi Shui Pill Expert... Of course you can. Over the years, my Monarch Pill Exchange Hall has served many of the strongest figures present in the Three Realm, they all went here just to obtain the Dragon Token.” said the green-robed man while laughing softly. “Then follow me to the top floor of the Monarch Pill Exchange Hall. On the seventh floor, you can exchange your spiritual plants for Dragon Tokens. In addition, introduce my name is Xia Minji, the owner of this Monarch Pill Exchange Hall. Then can these two Dao Friends also introduce themselves?”
As Xia Minji introduced himself, Qin Shan and San Jinsheng looked at each other for a while. After being silent for some time, Qin Shan finally introduced himself.
“My name is Qin Shan, I am from Soul Desote Mountain.” Qin Shan said with a smile. On the other hand, San Jinsheng also started to advance and introduce himself.
“I am San Jinsheng, I am just a wandering cultivator who happened to meet Qin Shan in void space. Because I no longer have a purpose, I choose to follow it.” said San Jinsheng indifferently.
As Xia Minji heard this, he looked surprised and gave a look of disbelief. “You are from Soul Desolate Mountain? Does that mean you were one of the students there, too? It was so great, the reputation of the Desolate Soul Mountain was already widespread in this Three Realm. Even Heavenly Gods like Pill Expert Xi Shui could not find the place even if he wanted to.” Xia Minji said in awe.
“Ya, Mount Soul Desolate is indeed an excellent place to undergo cultivation.” Qin Shan replied with a smile. He did not reveal that he was a disciple of Greenlotus. If he said it to Xia Minji, he was worried that things would become very troublesome.
Keep in mind, in this Pill Monarch World there were countless visitors of the Heavenly God, and most likely among those Heavenly G.o.ds there were enemies of Greenlotus in the past. If his identity as a Greenlotus disciple was spread in this Pill Monarch World, then he alone could not guarantee his safety.
After conversing for some time, the three of them immediately entered the Monarch Pill Exchange Hall and headed for the top floor.
The moment Xia Minji entered, all the Immortal maids present in the place immediately gave their regards. Besides that Xia Minji only nodded his head to respond to her.
On the second floor, the visitors here still remained the same as on the first floor. There were so many people who were buying various kinds of pills and spiritual plants.
“Excellent, has this place ever been empty before? It seems like all the cultivators that exist in this Monarch Pill World are buying pill necessities in this place.” Qin Shan said in awe as they were ascending to the third floor.
“Hahaha, don't praise the Monarch Pill Exchange Hall too far. The fact is this place never had visitors for a year. Even though it was because I closed this place down, anyway. But still during that time the Monarch Pill Exchange Hall had no visitors.” Xia Minji replied with a laugh.
Upon hearing this Qin Shan and San Jinsheng were speechless. This Intermediate Heavenly God turned out to have a pitiful sense of humor.
Starting from the third floor to the sixth floor, the visitors present in this Monarch Pill Exchange Hall were decreasing. This is because each floor has restrictions and requirements that need to be met. For example on the fourth floor, if you want to enter it then you must be an Eath Immortal or higher. If you're just a Primal, then you're not allowed to enter.
In addition, each floor also has a different level of spiritual pills and plants. To obtain a pill or spiritual plant level 7 and above, one could only obtain it on the fifth floor and beyond.
Because the distance between one floor and another floor is quite far. Qin Shan took about fifteen minutes to arrive at the top floor.
Unlike the first floor to the sixth floor which still has visitors, on the seventh floor there are absolutely no visitors. Even on this floor there is only one stall that is quite small. In the stall was seen an old man sitting in cultivation.
“The person in the stall is Ye Jiyao, don't look at her from her messy appearance like that. In reality he is a Heavenly God who is no weaker than me.” Xia Minji explained as he walked towards the small stall.
“A Heavenly God turned out to be willing to settle in this place? I really do not run out of thought, actually what are the benefits of being a kiosk keeper here?” san Jinsheng said with astonishment. Not only San Jinsheng, Qin Shan was also very curious about this. It was impossible for that Heavenly God to be willing to do this work without reward, right?
“Hehe, advantages of being a kiosk keeper? Although this is the secret of the Monarch Pill Exchange Hall, but I will tell you. Although that Ye Jiyao was only a stall guard for now, it was in reality that she was the one who was guarding this entire place from behind the shadows. I'm sure when you came to this place, you weren't aware of an array of monitors[1][1] watching your movements, were you? Well, Ye Jiyao is in charge of controlling the monitor array.” Xia Minji said while laughing softly.
When Qin Shan and San Jinsheng heard this, they were immediately shocked. So all this time they had been watched by a monitor array controlled by someone? Even with their instincts that of a supreme Heavenly God, they were still unable to sense the existence of the monior array Xia Minji was referring to at all.
In addition Qin Shan began to spread his spiritual will to detect the monitor array in the surroundings. In just a few moments, he finally took a cold breath.
This Ye Jiyao was able to hide the array of monitors present in this place very well. After realizing this, Qin Shan instantly knew that the Monarch Pill Exchange Hall was an extremely dangerous place. If he makes a little suspicious movements, then at that time he will definitely be caught red-handed.
