Chapter 226: Hundred Sales Buildings

Niu Qiong looked at Zhou Chen in confusion, "When did I let you harm the human race?"
Zhou Chen also asked in confusion, "City Lord Wu said it was you who said that?"
Wu Meng was already sweating profusely at this time. When he learned that Niu Qiong was going to come to talk to Zhou Chen in person, he guessed that something was wrong. Sure enough, the next moment Niu Qiong turned around and glared at him and asked, "Did I say that?"
Wu Meng quickly knelt down and said, "Domain Lord, this is all for your own good. I just wanted to test him a little bit."

"Hmph, you idiot who acted on his own, I'll deal with you when I get back", then he turned around and said to Zhou Chen, "Brother Zhou, I never said anything like that, it was this idiot who acted on his own, don't take it to heart, as long as you are willing to submit to me, I can talk about anything".

Zhou Chen would not believe his nonsense. If it was not his intention, Wang Meng would not dare to say anything. However, he said, "So that's how it is. It seems that I misunderstood you, Domain Lord. If Domain Lord is willing to hand over the map of Yin-Yang Mysterious Ice to me, then I agree to submit to you, how about it?"
Niu Qiong smiled and said, "It's just a map, what's wrong with that? But there's one thing you may not know."

"What's the matter?"
"Xuanbing is an extremely cold substance in the world. Even if a cultivator absorbs only one piece of Xuanbing, he will have to take a huge risk, let alone absorbing two pieces. This is tantamount to seeking death."

Zhou Chen was shocked after hearing this, but he actually didn't know this. Although this guy might be lying, he might also be telling the truth. The last time he absorbed the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice, it almost cost him his life.

"Is there no way to absorb two pieces of black ice at the same time?" This is very important to him. If he can't do it, he probably won't be able to reach the first level in his life.

Niu Qiong shook his head and said, "There is no other way. After all, we cannot be too greedy. It is already a blessing from God to own a piece of black ice. If we are too greedy, it will only backfire."

Seeing Zhou Chen's face full of disappointment, Niu Qiong thought for a moment and said, "But nothing is absolute. I heard that there is a kind of martial arts that can enable warriors to absorb many kinds of mysterious ice."

Zhou Chen was delighted and asked, "Oh, I wonder what kind of martial arts it is. Do you have it here?"
Niu Qiong shook his head and said, "I don't have that kind of martial arts, but the royal family of the Night Demon Kingdom seems to have it. I can ask for it for you when the time comes."

Is the Territory Lord serious about this?

"Of course I take it seriously. That set of skills itself is not outstanding, and it is extremely difficult and dangerous to practice. In addition, the practice requires searching for treasures such as black ice, so not many people are willing to practice it."

In the end, Zhou Chen only asked one question, which was whether he, as a human, could practice that set of martial arts. After getting a positive answer, Zhou Chen agreed to submit to Niu Qiong.

However, the so-called submission is naturally fake. Zhou Chen will not really submit to a monster. He will leave directly after he gets the secret book.

Seeing that the two were talking happily, Wang Meng's resentment towards Zhou Chen increased a little. He then asked Zhou Chen to move directly to his domain lord's residence. Zhou Chen agreed without hesitation.

After surrendering to the Territory Lord, Niu Qiong did not give him any position like deputy Territory Lord. Zhou Chen could only be regarded as a guest official in the Territory Lord's mansion.

Although the domain lord didn't care that he was a human, he still told him to try not to reveal his human aura during this period. After all, he was going to get married in a few days, and it would not be good if the strong people from other domains saw it.

In this way, Zhou Chen temporarily lived in the domain lord's mansion. Looking at the powerful monsters coming and going in the city, Zhou Chen couldn't help but want to go up and seize their monster patterns, but in the end, reason overcame impulse and he didn't do it.

Since he had not yet obtained the skills, Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to ask Niu Qiong for the map of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Ice. After all, it would be useless even if he asked for it now. Moreover, Niu Qiong also said that the Yin-Yang Mysterious Ice was useful to him, so he would not give it to her. However, he promised to find other Mysterious Ices for him.

Zhou Chen did not have any hope for this. Xuanbing was not that easy to find. Even if he found it, it might not be given to him. What Zhou Chen wanted most now was the secret book of martial arts.

What he didn't expect was that he was not the only one who was interested in the Yin-Yang Mysterious Ice. According to the news he had received in the past few days, the Lord of Qiu Ming Domain was also interested in the Yin-Yang Mysterious Ice. Although he could not use his fire-attributed demonic power, it was his right to use it however and for whomever he wanted. Anyway, the Lord of Qiu Ming Domain came here just for this.

Niu Qiong was naturally unwilling to give it to him, but He Shao was not in a hurry. He said that he would not leave if he did not get something this time, and he had already sent the things for exchange, which were said to be five beast ices. The so-called beast ice is the ice left behind by the ice-attributed monster after death. Although it is not as powerful as the black ice, the ice-attributed warriors can improve the quality of their own ice energy after absorbing it, which can be regarded as a copycat version of the black ice.

Zhou Chen seemed to have found a new world. Since the black ice could not be absorbed, he could try to absorb the beast ice first to see if it had any effect.

However, Niu Qiong did not agree to He Shao's request. Although the beast ice had not been returned yet, no one else was allowed to touch it.

Zhou Chen had no solution for the time being. After thinking about it, he decided to wait until Niu Qiong got married, and then find a chance to ask him for one.

That afternoon, Wang Meng came to Zhou Chen. Ever since Zhou Chen entered the Domain Lord's Mansion, Wang Meng's attitude towards him changed 180 degrees, and he was almost accepting him as his real brother.

"Brother Wang, why are you here again? I've told you many times that I'm still young and want to focus all my energy on cultivation. I don't want to go to that kind of place."

"Oh, you misunderstood. I didn't ask you to have a drink."

"Oh, it seems that I misjudged you. So what do you want from me this time?"
Wang Meng smiled and said, "I heard that a department store in the city recently received a treasure. I thought you would be interested, so I asked you to go and have a look."

"How do you know I would be interested?"
"What's the matter, Brother Zhou, you are not interested in beast ice anymore?"
"What do you mean, there is an ice beast in the sales building?"
Wang Meng smiled and said, "That's natural."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen pulled Wang Meng out without saying a word. Zhou Chen didn't know the road and kept urging Wang Meng to walk faster. Although the beast ice was not as good as the black ice, it was also extremely popular.

If he went too late, the items might have been bought by someone else. During this period, Wang Meng reminded him many times not to worry and had asked the sales office to keep the items. However, Zhou Chen was still worried and wanted to get the items as soon as possible.

Half an hour later, at Zhou Chen's urging, they finally arrived at the Sales Building. The things were on the third floor of the Sales Building. The two went straight to the third floor without any nonsense. As soon as they stepped on the stairs from the second floor to the third floor, they heard verbal abuse coming from above.

"You're blind, do you know who I am? It's not like I won't give you money."

"Mr. He, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that this thing has been reserved by another customer, and I really can't give it to you."

"I don't care about that. Today, either you let me take the things away, or you leave behind an arm."

Just when the guys were in trouble, Wu Meng's voice came over, "Which little beast dared to act wildly in Yucheng?"

As they were talking, they had already reached the third floor. Zhou Chen followed closely behind them. At this time, they saw a man in luxurious clothes walking out of a room on the third floor.

For a moment, three pairs of eyes looked at each other, and all three of them were shocked.
