The old man smiled kindly: "Because it is a spiritual treasure and it was also built by a master of weapon refinement, this floating shuttle requires 280,000 medium-grade spiritual stones."
Two hundred and eighty thousand mid-grade spiritual stones? Liu Qinghuan smiled softly, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and he just looked at him meaningfully.
The old man's face slowly became stiff when he saw it, and his attitude became more respectful: "Senior, what do you think of the price? It is the glory of our city that senior is willing to come to my ancient tomb dungeon. If you want this floating shuttle
, we should have delivered it directly to your door..."
He changed the topic with some embarrassment: "But because the master who refined this spiritual treasure set a minimum price of 280,000 mid-grade spiritual stones, our store cannot make any arbitrary decisions... But don't worry, we will never overcharge."
You are half a spiritual stone!"
The smile on Liu Qinghuan's face gradually disappeared and became expressionless.
He has visited most of the shops in the dungeon before, so he naturally knows that the price may seem high, but for a spiritual treasure, it is not high, but low. Not to mention that among various magical weapons
, among the treasures, flying magical weapons are much more difficult to refine than ordinary magical weapons because they are relatively large in size, use a lot of materials, and have to take into account defense, speed, etc., and the price of the finished product is naturally the highest.
Coupled with the old man's words, he even reported the lowest price directly, and this attitude is worth pondering. From the information revealed by the old man's previous words, it can be seen that the last owner of this store was from Furuzuka Dungeon.
City Lord.
You know, many times it’s not easy to get cheap.
Liu Qinghuan glanced at the exquisite long shuttle suspended in mid-air again, secretly said it was a pity, turned around and walked out, and said lightly: "Then I'm sorry, I don't like to take advantage of others, so I don't want this Lingbao!"
"Ah!" The old man yelled twice nervously, and quickly chased after him, slapping himself in the mouth: "Look at me, I'm such a clumsy tongue, senior, don't leave, we have something to discuss..."
Liu Qinghuan stopped suddenly, with a trace of coercion leaking from his body, and sneered: "I look very short-sighted? Will I still want a spiritual treasure from you?!"
The old man's waist was so stooped that it almost touched the ground. He was sweating profusely and his face was as white as paper. Wei Wei repeatedly said: "The villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die, senior, please calm down..."
Liu Qinghuan withdrew his pressure, sat down in the elegant room again, and softened his tone slightly: "I don't like people who hide their heads and show their tails. If you have something to say, I can't think about it."
The old man thought that he had messed up the matter, but when he saw that there was still a chance of improvement, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he felt more fear of the person in front of him.
Although the other party is a Yuanying monk, he really didn't pay much attention to it before. Although the ancient tomb dungeon is not big and is located in a remote place, the city owner of his family is a late Yuanying monk and is quite famous in the entire Jiuyou.
This generation is simply not comparable to ordinary Nascent Souls.
That floating shuttle is considered to be at the top level among flying magic weapons. The normal asking price is at least four to five million mid-grade spiritual stones, and they only have a big city with a radius of thousands of miles. The price is even higher, six or seven.
There are people who want one hundred thousand. He wanted to make a good sale with it, and then tell him what he wanted to ask for. He would be soft-spoken and soft-handed, and with the face of the city lord, it would be hard for this person to refuse.
But he didn't expect that the other party was so easy to fool, and he was self-defeating. Only then did he realize that he was now a Nascent Soul monk who could kill him with just one finger. He had long been afraid and regretful in his heart.
Only then did he really want to understand that he usually just pretended to be a fox and a tiger, but if he really lost his life at the hands of this person, even if the city lord knew about it afterwards, he would not be able to enmity with a Nascent Soul monk because of him.
If your cultivation level is not as good as that of a human being, you will be nothing more than an ant after all.
Getting up from the ground, the old man's face was full of gratitude and he did not dare to play any tricks: "Yes, yes, thank you for your generosity, senior. In fact, this is the case. The spies outside this city just sent news two hours ago, about an extremely terrifying wave.
The zombie worm tide will arrive in our dungeon in about one day."
He carefully looked at Liu Qinghuan's expression, but there was no emotion at all on that extremely young face. He could only shrink back his gaze and continue in a low voice: "But, you also know that my city lord has already set off for the trip early.
Youdu also took away a large number of people, so now there is only one senior Nascent Soul who is still in retreat in the entire dungeon, and it is really difficult to maintain the safety of the entire dungeon."
Liu Qinghuan looked at him with a half-smile but said, "So you want to ask me for help?"
"Yes, yes." The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead: "So when I first saw you in the store, I was really overjoyed and my heart was full of gratitude. As long as you are willing to help defend the city, you can
He is the great benefactor of my ancient tomb dungeon, and my city lord will also remember the favor of my senior. And the spiritual stone shop needed for the floating shuttle will be replenished by the master separately. I also ask my senior to accept it regardless of the past grudges.
In addition, the shop can also present another top-level spiritual treasure to thank the senior for his generous help."
Liu Qinghuan tapped the small table at her hand lightly, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
The old man suddenly understood and said hurriedly: "Please wait a moment."
He ran into the treasure room and collected the floating shuttle, placing it respectfully in Liu Qinghuan's hand. He then took out a flat, delicate wooden box from his arms, unsealed the outside of the box, and opened it carefully.
Inside the box was a lifelike doll, only three inches long, with a carefully carved face. It looked like the most beautiful fairy in the palace that day. It was dressed in noble and elegant palace clothes, and its exposed skin looked like a real person.
The same, pink and white, can be broken by blowing.
"This is a legacy work of the puppet master Qu Changfeng. It is known as a living puppet. As long as you pour your spiritual consciousness into it, this puppet will come to life. It has a gentle and docile temperament. It can not only execute the master's orders, but also make the bed.
quilt……"
The old man smiled obscenely, and when he saw that Liu Qinghuan had no reaction, he immediately restrained himself, pointed at the heart of the puppet, and said seriously: "This puppet can also be driven by spirit stones, and its cultivation can reach the late stage of Jindan. It can also be used when fighting against others.
It can be used as a helper. Although she seems to be very fragile and easy to break, her body is actually made of the best quality gold essence and bright moon stone, which is indestructible, and the outer skin is made of a kind of magic-breaking material, dense star soft silver...
…”
While listening to the old man's eloquent introduction, Liu Qinghuan picked up the doll and looked at it carefully, his eyes becoming more and more amazed.
He didn't see many puppets. There were very few monks in this kind of eccentric magic society, and even if there were, most of them were very low-end. He had seen one many years ago in the underwater cave where the old demon Wen Dao lived.
But the body of that one is as heavy as a thousand kilograms, and it is not as delicate as this one.
It sounds good to have one more helper in the later stage of the golden elixir. Moreover, the medicinal fields in the Songxi Cave Heaven Map need constant care. In the past, they relied on Xiao Hei and Ying Niang, but now Ying Niang cannot easily leave the soul-nurturing coffin, Xiao Hei.
Hei was seriously injured again, so it would be good to buy a doll to take care of the medicine field and handle chores.
Moreover, the puppet has no real intelligence. No matter how flexible it is, it is just a puppet and cannot really come to life. There are too many secrets in him that cannot be known to outsiders, but a puppet that completely obeys orders has no such
concerns.
Exploring with his spiritual sense, he found that the inside of the doll's body was filled with exquisite parts. Each one was engraved with tiny magic circles and connected to each other. But when he probed the position of its head and heart, he was struck by a force.
Blocked it and came back.
Liu Qinghuan secretly speculated that these two places are most likely the core of the doll. The puppet master naturally does not want his refining secrets to be seen by the people who bought the doll. If he takes a hard look, it is most likely that he is a human.
I immediately self-destruct from the inside.
He also picked up a booklet inside the box, which described how to manipulate puppets.
The old man looked a little anxious. The insect wave could attack at any time, and there was not much time left for them. This time the insect wave was a bit strange, and it appeared silently. When they found out, it was less than a day away from the ancient tomb dungeon.
distance.
But he didn't dare to rush Liu Qinghuan, so he could only watch helplessly. When he saw Liu Qinghuan finally put down the puppet, he quickly and cautiously asked, "Senior, are you satisfied?"
Liu Qinghuan closed the box, thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "First, tell me about the situation of the corpse insect swarm and what I want to do."
The insect tide sounds like a tide of beasts, and everyone's expression changes when they hear it, but these people from Jiuyou seem to be quite calm. Even the two low-level monks they met before said that when they encountered the insect tide,
Even if they use Ganghuo sand, they don’t know what’s going on.
The old man couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that he had already agreed for the most part, and hurriedly told the truth about the information he had received about the insect tide: "This insect wave is quite large, and it will take about three to five days to pass it all. My ancient tomb land
Because the city is underground and the walls have been specially treated, there are not many places that need to be defended. Most of the low-level corpse insects cannot burrow into the ground. But this time, some blood sickle-thorned fire insects were found among them. This kind of insect
It is not afraid of fire and sand at all, and can burrow into the ground. Just in case, I need your help to guard the entrance. As long as you survive the insect wave, it will be fine."
Liu Qinghuan listened silently, frowning more and more. Sure enough, hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones are not so easy to get.
Seeing that his expression had changed, the old man was afraid that he would not help, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the entrance outside the dungeon will be closed by then, and the insect tide may not be discovered, and except for a few, they will not stay where they are.
You may not be able to find the entrance to the dungeon, and once you find it, it’s not that easy to break through the protective formation..."
In the end, Liu Qinghuan felt helpless, but still agreed.
He now knows very little about the situation in this world. If he encounters an insect infestation outside the city, he may have to fight in one way. Thinking of facing the overwhelming insect, he feels his brain is numb and a wave of pain rushes up his back.
chill.
So he didn't want to leave the city unless he had to. And these people from Jiuyou obviously had a lot of experience in dealing with the insect tide. He couldn't leave the city anyway. If the nymph tide came in, he wouldn't want to help in the end, so there were two people at this time.
You can collect this spiritual treasure, so why not do it?
In addition, he can also take this opportunity to observe and prepare for walking alone in the Nine Nether Realm in the future.
Putting the floating shuttle together into his sleeves, Liu Qinghuan picked up the doll, and with a pinch, the doll fell to the ground and became normal height. Looking at it again, although the doll's expression was lifeless, it still did not hide its amazing beauty. Although it was flashy, it was still beautiful.
It is indeed very pleasing to the eye.
He first placed a piece of high-quality spiritual stone into the hollow at his heart, and then placed it a little between his eyebrows, pouring his spiritual consciousness into it.
I saw the doll's closed eyes trembled, then slowly opened a pair of beautiful eyes as dark as paint, and moved slightly, and the whole face became alive, as if it really came alive.
Turning his eyes, the doll saw Liu Qinghuan. He gently put his hands together and bowed down. His voice was soft and graceful: "Master!"
The old man clucked his tongue and praised: "It looks like, it really looks like a real person! Except that it doesn't breathe, it is just like a real person. Haha, this is the first time for me to see such a lifelike doll. Today, thanks to the blessing of my senior, it is an eye-opener."
."
Liu Qinghuan was also very satisfied and finally felt that he had not lost money on this transaction.
Putting the puppet away, he stood up and said, "Let's make an agreement first. I'm only responsible for guarding the entrance. But if you really can't guard it in the end, you can't blame me."
Even if the old man was dissatisfied, he did not dare to say anything and said respectfully: "That's it, that's it."
"Okay, now take me to see another Yuanying monk in the city." Liu Qinghuan said: "Isn't he still in retreat?"
"Senior Shushang has left seclusion, please come with me."
The two left the shop and walked down the passage. As they walked, the old man said with some pride: "Look here, this is a sealed door, and our ancient tomb dungeon has several sealed doors as thick as city walls. Even the one above
If you can no longer defend the entrance, you can retreat below and once the door is sealed, no matter how powerful those corpse insects are, they won't be able to get in."
Liu Qinghuan said calmly: "If this sealed door falls, I'm afraid it won't be able to be raised again."
Therefore, unless there is a real life and death situation, it is impossible to drop the sealed gate. And once it is dropped, the dungeon will really become a tomb.
The old man was embarrassed for a moment and finally stopped talking.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at a stone room, where a ghost cultivator with a powerful sword was sitting on a stone chair in the middle, listening to several Jindan Qi reports on the situation with a gloomy and displeased face.
As soon as Liu Qinghuan entered, the other party immediately looked over and saw two evil green eyes in his eyes.
The old man quickly stepped forward to introduce the two parties.
Hearing that he was here to help, the ghost cultivator withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, snorted coldly, and cupped his hands perfunctorily: "Shang Shang."
The sound was sharp and harsh, with the sound of metal and stone.
Since the other party didn't want to talk nonsense, Liu Qinghuan didn't have the time to make friends, so he handed over his hand and replied: "Qingmu."
After that, a group of people continued to discuss how to deal with the insect tide. Liu Qinghuan listened for a while, and after understanding what he needed to do, he left the stone room and returned to the ground.
What's interesting is that after the news of the incoming insect wave finally spread, the monks who had not entered the city before flocked to the entrance and were shocked to find that the entrance fee had become one hundred spiritual stones!
