Under the leadership of the black-robed monks, Zhang Ruochen, Ji Fanxin, and Xie Chengzi arrived at a refining attic in the tomb.
This refining attic is four stories high and is made of jet black metal. The floors, walls, and pillars are all engraved with profound formation inscriptions.
Moreover, from the gap in the attic window, black magic mist sprayed out.
Ji Fanxin's eyes showed a solemn look and said: "As far as I know, the place to pay the deposit is not here."
The black-robed monk said: "You are distinguished guests who have placed an order for more than 100 million holy stones. All information must be strictly concealed. Therefore, Elder Qi will receive you personally."
Then the black-robed monk stared at Zhang Ruochen, raised his arm slightly, and said with a smile: "This distinguished guest, please come in with me first!"
Ji Fanxin showed doubts and said: "We came together, why didn't we go in together?"
The black-robed monk slightly arched his hands towards Givenchy and said, "Sorry, this is the rule of the Temple of Death. Guests who place an order for more than 100 million holy stones must be received alone."
Ji Fanxin has not visited the Temple of Death more than three times, so she is not particularly familiar with the rules of the Temple of Death.
After hearing what the black-robed monk said, she didn't want to break the rules of the Temple of Death, so she didn't say anything more.
Ji Fanxin quietly sent a message to Zhang Ruochen: "This matter is a bit strange. After entering, you must be extremely careful."
"Thank you fairy for the reminder."
Zhang Ruochen, an expert in art, was bold and showed no timidity or fear. He followed the black-robed monk and walked towards the weapon-refining pavilion.
"Squeak."
The black-robed monk did not enter the refining attic, closed the attic door, but stood upright outside the door, facing Givenchy, with a calm look.
Inside the refining attic, sixteen human-height copper lamps were burning, like sixteen pupils, suspended in the space filled with magic mist, which was extremely strange.
There is a faint fragrance floating in the air.
Zhang Ruochen was very familiar with that scent, it was the scent of Rainbow Vine.
Even so, Zhang Ruochen immediately held his breath, closed the pores on his body, and was extra cautious.
It should be noted that the Temple of Death is a top killer organization, and it must be at the pinnacle in the use of poison, so it must be guarded against.
Elder Qi sat cross-legged on a bed of black ice holy jade. He inhaled deeply through his mouth and nose, and all the magic mist was immediately sucked into his belly. It was as if his chest, abdomen and five internal organs were a heaven and earth that could accommodate all things.
The space in the refining attic became brightly lit.
Elder Qi opened his eyes and laughed: "Just now, I heard that Tiancheng came to report that someone had placed a huge order for 1.6 billion holy stones. I thought it was the top ten divine disciples from the Temple of Truth, and I felt very uneasy.
.Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a young talent."
Zhang Ruochen put his hands behind his back and said, "Could it be that in the opinion of the elders, only the top ten divine disciples in the Realm of Truth can produce 1.6 billion holy stones?"
"Haha! Yes, I have underestimated you juniors. You are really richer than the last. Old guys like us who have lived for more than a thousand years can only be regarded as old poor ghosts in front of you." Elder Qi smiled bitterly.
He said.
Elder Qi is a quite extraordinary person. Just from the thick magic mist that erupted from his body, one can guess that his cultivation level must have reached the level of the Seven-Step Saint King or above.
This kind of old monster is sometimes more terrifying than those proud men of heaven.
Elder Qi didn't look like a killer. He seemed quite easy-going and said with a smile: "The amount of 1.6 billion holy stones is too huge, so now there are two ways to deliver it."
"Which two are they?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Elder Qi said: "The first option is to pay all the 1.6 billion holy stones at once. If you don't have that many holy stones, you can also use equivalent treasures to pay. If within a year, the person you want to kill will
If you don't die, the Temple of Death will return the sacred stone in full."
Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and asked: "What about the second one?"
Elder Qi said: "The second method is that you pay a certain percentage of the deposit first, and when our killer kills the person you want to kill, you can then pay the remaining holy stones."
"What percentage of the deposit is required?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Elder Qi said: "The minimum is 10%."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Okay, I choose the second payment method."
It is not easy to kill Shang Ziyan, Gongzi Yan, Lian Xi, and Xunya. The main purpose of Zhang Ruochen coming to the Death Temple to place an order is actually to hope that the killers of the Death Temple will cause them a certain degree of trouble so that they cannot go all out to deal with them.
Own.
Of course, if he could really kill one or both of them, even if he had to pay 300 to 500 million holy stones, Zhang Ruochen would still think it was quite worthwhile.
In this case, it is natural to choose the second payment method.
Besides, the amount of holy stones Zhang Ruochen carries is not even 1.6 billion, and he will not mortgage the Jinbulong Chariot again.
Elder Qi said: "Choosing the second payment method requires certain conditions."
"What conditions?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Elder Qi said: "The Temple of Death must know your true identity and evaluate whether you can afford the remaining holy stones."
"So that's it."
Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and said: "I heard that the Temple of Death is most trustworthy and will never leak customer information?"
"Yes, this is the foundation of the Temple of Death." Elder Qi said.
Zhang Ruochen took off the mask on his face, and then his body shape and appearance continued to change, turning into his true face, and said: "With Zhang Ruochen's identity as the divine envoy of the Guanghan Realm, he should be able to afford 1.6 billion holy stones, right?"
Elder Qi's old eyes condensed deeply and said: "It turns out that you are the famous descendant of time and space. No wonder he can place an order of 1.6 billion boldly. Mr. Ruochen, wait a moment and let me look through your information and make an evaluation.
.”
Elder Qi took out a Rubik's Cube, and a large amount of demonic energy poured into the Rubik's Cube. Immediately, densely packed words flew out of the Rubik's Cube and entered Elder Qi's eyes.
After a moment, Elder Qi showed a smile on his face and said: "It turns out that Young Master Ruochen is still the crown prince of the Kunlun Realm's Shengming Central Empire. He has two powerful men at the level of the Great Saint under him, and he also controls a world. With such a foundation, it is necessary to
It is certainly not difficult to pay 1.6 billion holy stones."
"It seems that the information collected by the Temple of Death is very detailed!"
Zhang Ruochen knew in his heart that the two great saints mentioned by Elder Qi must be referring to the two national guardian beasts in the Dragon Protection Pavilion. They had appeared during the attack on the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect.
"As a killer organization, gathering intelligence is the first priority. If Mr. Chen wants to buy intelligence, he can actually cooperate with us."
After saying this, Elder Qi added: "However, the amount of 1.6 billion holy stones is too huge. I must verify the identity of Master Ruochen to prevent anyone from using the art of transformation to get through."
"How to verify?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Elder Qi said: "We only need to collect a drop of the holy blood of Mr. Ruochen. No matter how it changes, the monk's blood cannot be changed after all."
"Wow."
From the stone wall behind Elder Qi, a tall and thin woman walked out. Her body was translucent, like a human-shaped body of water. However, Zhang Ruochen could really feel the breath of life from her body.
The tall and thin woman held a tray in her hands.
On the plate, there is a silver dagger and a cup.
The tall and thin woman's face gradually solidified, as if it were made of metal, and she said: "Sir, please."
Zhang Ruochen grabbed the dagger and was about to cut his finger when he suddenly thought of something and put the dagger back on the tray for safety reasons.
"Chi!"
The fingers of his right hand scratched the index finger of his left hand, and a shallow blood stain appeared.
"Tick."
A drop of blood drops into the cup.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen clearly felt a stinging pain coming from the wound on his finger.
It is normal for the skin to be scratched and cause pain.
However, Zhang Ruochen discovered that the pain from his fingers was slightly stronger than a normal scratch.
This is very abnormal!
Zhang Ruochen's expression changed slightly, and he quickly started using his exercises, trying to seal the three meridians of his left arm.
The tall and thin woman standing opposite him suddenly became murderous, her body shrank, condensed into a silver sword, and pierced Zhang Ruochen's eyebrows.
Zhang Ruochen's reaction speed was extremely fast. He kicked his legs back and backed up like lightning.
"Bang."
His body failed to break through the door of the refining loft. Instead, a large number of formation inscriptions appeared on the door, forming layers of waves of holy energy, causing him to fly forward.
Just as he was about to collide with the silver sword, Zhang Ruochen suddenly disappeared and moved to a corner of the weapon refining attic.
Elder Qi took back the silver sword in his hand, stood up, and said with a kind smile: "There are not many monks as young as you who are so cautious. As soon as you entered the refining attic, you held your breath and closed it.
The pores have rendered the sixteen corpse-scented devil lamps lit by me useless."
"Just now, I put a strange poison on the dagger. As long as you use it to cut your skin, you will fall to the ground and die in an instant. But you didn't use the dagger, which makes me very disappointed."
"But no matter how cautious you are, there are still times when you can be careless in front of someone who is deliberately trying to kill you."
Zhang Ruochen noticed that his entire left arm had lost consciousness and became more and more transparent. The skin seemed to have disappeared, and the blood, meridians, sacred veins, and bones were all revealed.
That numb feeling is still spreading throughout the body.
poisoned!
"What...what's going on? What on earth did you do?"
Zhang Ruochen quickly ran the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra" to suppress the mysterious toxin in his body.
Elder Qi walked towards Zhang Ruochen step by step, with a very cold and proud smile on his face, and said: "It's useless, you were poisoned by the unique poison of the Temple of Death, Mirror Flower, Water Moon."
"The flower in the mirror and the moon in the water, the former is tasteless and the latter is indefinite."
"Even if the mirror flowers, water moon and mirror are floating in front of you, it is impossible for the creatures under the Great Sage to detect it. Therefore, the moment you cut your skin, the mirror flowers, water moon and mirror will penetrate the protective shield you released in advance without even noticing.
The body holy energy has invaded your body."
"Do you feel that your body is getting more and more numb and you are gradually losing consciousness?"
"Look at your arms, are they becoming transparent? Hehe, soon your entire body, including your consciousness and holy soul, will become translucent, like a flower in the mirror or the moon in the water."
"Of course, even if you become translucent, you still have a certain value. Refining you into my Water Moon Sword can increase the power of the sword spirit and improve the grade of the sword."
