Chapter 156 Rescue(1/2)
"What do you have for sale here?"
The second Ji Mian raised the question, he felt horrified in his heart.
The way this shop appears is so mysterious. The two people in front of them seem harmless, but who knows what they really look like.
He trusted the mysterious two people so easily!
Ji Mian frowned, silently using his magic power, and his eyes wandered around.
Although Zhuo Li didn't understand what happened, he saw his friend's expression and became wary.
"Don't be so nervous. We are a conscientious shop and we won't do anything to our customers."
Lin Yuan smiled gently, tapped his fingers on the counter, and two cups of tea slowly floated in front of Ji Mian and Zhuo Li.
"This is the House of Fate, you can buy everything you want." Lina said softly.
Her soft voice was like a clear spring, washing away the uneasiness in Ji Mian and Zhuo Li's hearts.
"I'm sorry." Ji Mian caught the tea cup, took a sip, secretly said it was a good tea, and said, "Do you really sell everything here?"
"Kung Fu, secret books, elixirs, blood, lifespan, wisdom, companions... We sell everything you can imagine. Of course, we will also charge a corresponding price." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
This is the spiritual world. He has the authority of the spiritual world and is close to the God of Creation here, so he naturally has the confidence to speak like this.
"Forget about martial arts and elixirs, how can something as ethereal as wisdom be bought and sold?" Zhuo Li said doubtfully.
Lin Yuan shook his head, took out a glass bottle and placed it on the counter. A neat chip was suspended in the glass bottle.
"This is a sub-brain chip derived from a certain technological civilization. It can be completely integrated with your brain. It can improve the quality of your brain cells in all aspects, help you learn knowledge quickly and improve your wisdom."
"Of course, customers can also choose more high-end products and get it right in one step. However, that is not what you can afford now."
Zhuo Li looked at the sci-fi chip surrounded by electric light and couldn't help but swallowed. This store seemed to be playing tricks on him.
"What price do we need to pay to buy the goods?" Ji Mian said in a deep voice.
He doesn't believe that pie will fall from the sky. There must be gains and losses, and such a magical product must have an unusual price.
This child of luck is a pragmatic person.
Lin Yuan looked at Ji Mian with admiration and said:
"Lifespan, cultivation, emotions, etc. Guest, you can use everything on your body to pay the price. So guest, what do you need to buy and what are you willing to pay?"
Lin Yuan's words were like the whispers of a devil. Ji Mian took a deep breath and said, "Two of our companions were captured by the mushroom people here. What is the price to pay for rescuing them?"
"It's very simple." Lin Yuan waved his hand, and a black scale the size of a car appeared in front of their eyes.
A white light group appeared at the left end of the scale, and suddenly the entire scale tilted severely.
"On the left is the product you want, and on the right is the price you are willing to pay. When the balance is balanced, it means the transaction can be completed. Once the transaction is confirmed, your two companions will appear in front of you immediately."
"I see."
Ji Mian walked to the right end of the scale and meditated on his cultivation.
After level 1, level 2...and level 4 of Qi training, the yellow light group on the tray changed from the size of a grain of rice to the size of an egg, but the balance remained unchanged.
Ji Mian gritted his teeth and silently thought about his life span.
10 years, 20 years... When Ji Mian added the weight of life span to 80 years, the balance finally slowly returned to balance.
"Guest, are you sure about the transaction?" Lin Yuan asked.
"No. Please let us think about it."
Ji Mian took a step back, the weight on the tray returned to his body, and his aging face became young again.
"Ji Mian, this store is too evil. Besides, who knows if they will honor the deal." Zhuo Li walked to Ji Mian and said fearfully.
"Sigh, it's hard for us to have such a good opportunity again. Zhuo Li, Director Lu and the others have been trapped for almost three days, and the situation is very dangerous." Ji Mian sighed.
"But even if we share it, each of us will have to lose half of our cultivation and 40 years of life, which is equivalent to destroying our future! I'm not saying we won't save them, we can think of a better way." Zhuo Li persuaded.
Ji Mian glanced at his friend. What he said was hard to hear, but very realistic. Isn't the reason why they abandoned everything and came to this strange world to pursue the ethereal immortality?
If they were a little more selfish, they wouldn't even have to save Lu Qing and Xie Changhui, but would use their few chips to buy other things in this store. I believe they would be able to make great progress in their cultivation.
Ji Mian suppressed the terrible thoughts in his heart, and after pondering for a few minutes, he walked back to the balance.
This time, the white light group at the left end of the scale suddenly shrunk by a large circle, and Ji Mian's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, his idea is feasible. The cost of directly rescuing his companions is too high, but if he invites the store manager to help with the rescue, the cost is much smaller.
Ji Mian walked to Zhuo Li, the two discussed each other for a while, and jointly put their own chips on the scale, each with a life span of 30 years.
"Guest, are you sure about the deal?" Lin Yuan asked again.
"Yes, we are sure." Ji Mian and Zhuo Li said at the same time.
Two light balls flew out from their foreheads and flew lightly to the counter. Lina picked up a glass bottle, stretched out her hand to grab it, and stuffed the two light balls into it.
Be careful, that's 60 years of life!
Zhuo Li felt weak and stared at the glass bottle in the girl's hand. He knew that his life was irretrievably lost. This was the instinctive feeling of the body, the feeling of powerlessness coming from every cell.
Enough to be unforgettable.
"The transaction is completed. Then, I will fulfill the agreement and assist you in rescuing your companions on your way forward." Lin Yuan said.
"Then, I'll leave it to the shopkeeper." Ji Mian said weakly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The surrounding gradually fell into darkness, and when it lit up again, Ji Mian found that they had returned to the previous passage.
The blue-purple fluorescence from the glowing mushroom illuminated the rough cave wall, and the mushroom people disappeared. Ji Mian turned around and saw his confused friend and Lin Yuan behind him.
"Go forward, I will point out the dangers on the road for you." Lin Yuan said.
Ji Mian nodded and set off with Zhuo Li again.
After passing through the long passage, another hole appeared in front of everyone.
"Those damn mushroom spores again." Zhuo Li said angrily as he looked at the mushrooms on the roof of the cave.
"These are soul-seeking mushrooms, which always grow in places with strong spiritual power. They will sense the passing spiritual creatures and release spores. When you are contaminated by the spores, a special spiritual power wave will be stimulated.
This is why the mushroom people found you."
Lin Yuan walked up to the two of them, pointed at the mushroom and explained. He stamped his left foot on the ground, and a cluster of crystals broke through the soil and grew out.
It continued to expand and deform, forming a transparent spherical crystal cover that enveloped the three of them.
"Look what I'm doing, step on it." Lin Yuan stretched out a leg, stepped on the wall of the crystal ball in front of him, and said to the two of them.
"ah?"
Ji Mian and Zhuo Li originally thought that this mysterious shopkeeper would use some magical power to eliminate spores, but they didn't expect that he would be so simple and unpretentious.
The three people moved their legs, and the crystal ball rolled all the way through the hole. A large number of spores fell down, all of which were contaminated on the crystal ball, without causing any fluctuations.
"It's really good." Zhuo Li opened his mouth wide and looked back at the empty space with mixed emotions.
The three of them continued to move forward, encountering various unexpected situations and strange creatures along the way.
There are giant earthworms with sharp-toothed heads on both ends, which can kill a mushroom man in one bite; there are also death quagmires that look like flat ground but are actually more than 80 meters deep; and there are fingernail-sized worms that lie on the wall of the cave inconspicuously, but can actually
Poison to death the rot beetles in the gas refining stage.
While helping them overcome the dangers, Lin Yuan also introduced them in detail. This opened the eyes of Ji Mian and Zhuo Li, and they also lamented that these 30 years of life were well spent! Otherwise, they would have to rely on
They themselves are afraid that even three more lives won't be enough.
A few hours later, tired and cold, Ji Mian and Zhuo Li finally arrived at the end of the passage, a huge underground cave!
Colorful moss clings to the cave walls, dispelling the darkness. Mushrooms of various shapes and colors stand on the ground, forming a huge mushroom forest.
Everyone looked down from the passage on the cliff.
I saw mushroom men walking slowly in the middle of the mushroom forest, carrying earthworms, frogs, big birds and other prey from time to time, and throwing them into a large pit on the ground.
"Is this the Mushroom Kingdom? What are they doing?" Zhuo Li stared in disbelief.
"Daozhang Lu and the others must be in that big pit! Let's go and rescue them quickly!"
After experiencing so much suffering, the goal was right in front of him. Even Ji Mian could not restrain his excitement, and his blood boiled all over.
Lin Yuan watched the two people gearing up to slide down the cliff, and couldn't help but have a weird look on his face:
"I said, you two are not just going to rush over like this, are you? Then I think you two are indispensable in the big pit."
Ji Mian and Zhuo Li awkwardly retracted their steps. During this time together, they had been completely impressed by this mysterious store manager Lin.
"Manager Lin, what should we do?" Ji Mian humbly asked.
"We have concentrated our mana, and we have a barrier to protect the spores. These mushroom people can't find us at all." Zhuo Li said uncertainly.
"Since this is the base camp of the mushroom people, how come there are only mushroom people? Look over there." Lin Yuan pointed at the mushroom forest and said.
The two of them looked along, and among the colorful mushrooms, fluffy hydrangea flowers fluttered slightly. Under the fluorescent rendering, they were very beautiful.
"There's nothing to worry about, it's just some huge flowers... Damn it!" Zhuo Li's heart trembled mid-sentence.
He finally discovered the incongruity. There was no wind in the mushroom forest, and the hydrangeas as big as houses were squirming on their own!
