Four hundred and ninetieth eight chapters spiritual tools and tokens
"Ask Cui Huan to meet me in the secret room in the back mountain."
Shi Mu walked straight in front of everyone and left such a sentence without looking back, causing all the attendants and stewards who were thinking about it to come back to their senses.
"Yes!" Qi Fei responded immediately.
Shi Mu returned to the secret room located in the low mountain and sat cross-legged on a futon in the room.
He rolled up his sleeves and looked at his left arm. With a silent movement in his heart, the hot fire on his arm started to burn. After a while, the originally cool cave became very hot.
Shi Mu smiled with satisfaction and put away the flame on his arm.
"Duk duk duk..." At this moment, there were several knocks outside the stone door.
"Come in." Shi Mu put down his sleeves, stood up and sat on a stone chair, and said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Huan, who was dressed in a green maid costume, opened the stone door and walked in.
"Master of the Palace." Cui Huan ducked slightly, and for the first time he saluted Shi Mu with a respectful look on his face.
"Is what those people said true?" Shi Mu asked straight to the point without mincing words.
Cui Huan frowned slightly, opened her lips slightly, then closed them tightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
"I don't have time to waste on you. If you refuse to say anything, the next time Zhao Chenlei sends someone to come, I will have no reason to keep you and can only let the people of the Zhao family deal with it.
." Shi Mu glanced at the woman and continued.
As soon as these words came out, Cui Huan's originally cold face immediately showed a trace of panic, and then she bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes became a little dim, but she still said nothing.
"Although I have never seen that Zhao Chenlei, at first glance, that Zhao Sanbao is not a kind person. The so-called leopard can be seen through the lens. You have to think clearly." Shi Mu gently tapped the armrest of the stone chair with his finger and continued.
said.
Cui Huan remained silent for a while, then sighed softly after making some decision, slowly loosened her clenched lower lip, and said:
"The palace master is able to do this today, and the little lady is already grateful. In fact, this matter is not unspeakable, but there are some things involved in it, and I am worried that it will affect the palace master."
"Come and listen, I have my own opinion." Shi Mu said calmly.
"Actually, as early as decades ago, my grandfather was a hundred-year-old disciple of the Qinglan Holy Land. However, he was defeated in a big competition and fell to the bottom of the rankings, so he was expelled from the Holy Land...
" Cui Huan gritted her teeth and began to tell the truth.
Shi Mu also sat upright and listened calmly.
"Before he was expelled, my grandfather also stayed in the Holy Land for thirty years. In the last few years, he used the rare materials and all the Mysterious Spirit Points that he had accumulated for many years to request a famous weapon-refining master in the Holy Land.
He created a superior spiritual weapon. The original intention of creating this superior spiritual weapon was to help his grandfather win the competition. However, he did not expect that due to some reasons, this spiritual weapon could not be refined until the end of the competition.
It was completed, so much so that when my grandfather left the Holy Land with regrets, he only held a token in exchange for the spiritual weapon." Cui Huan paused at this point.
"Go to the spiritual weapon! What happened next?" Shi Mu looked shocked when he heard this.
"Later, my grandfather passed away due to illness and passed on this token before his death. However, due to various reasons, the family was not only unable to retrieve the spiritual artifact, but was destroyed by the enemy because of this token. When the enemy came to kill,
It was my parents who fought tooth and nail to protect Cui'er and allowed Cui'er to escape to heaven alone." Cui Huan said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, then how did you come to this Qinglan Holy Land and become a maid?" Shi Mu asked thoughtfully.
"After escaping, I was alone and desperate. I wandered on some other planets for a long time. After going through many ups and downs, I finally borrowed a huge amount of debt from other forces, managed my relationships, and tried every means to enter the Qinglan Holy Land.
In the middle, he practiced hard to the earthly level and became a leader of the servants." Cui Huan said.
"Do you want to take the opportunity to exchange for that spiritual weapon?" Shi Mu glanced at her and asked.
"That's right! All members of my clan died because of this. If I don't take it back, how can I be worthy of the souls of the dead in my clan, my parents, and my grandfather." Cui Huan said this with some emotion.
Get excited.
"...But later I discovered that after all my efforts to join the Holy Land, I was only an insignificant attendant on the first level. I was not even qualified to enter the Xuanling Tower. How could I reach the level where I was refining spiritual weapons?
A master of weapon refining? Because he was eager to find the master of weapon refining, but he accidentally leaked the news and others found out about it." When the woman said this, she looked a little sad.
"Then Zhao Chenlei wants to take you away in exchange for the spiritual weapon as a token?" Shi Mu pondered for a moment and asked.
"Yes, after Zhao Chenlei got the news from elsewhere, he sent people to cover all my debts, and then he kept sending people to come to threaten me openly and openly, asking me to hand over the tokens. Recently, they have been pressing harder and harder on me.
I no longer dare to leave the house for fear of being forcibly taken away by them," Cui Huan said.
"Although the spiritual weapon is precious, it is not as good as your own safety. Why do you have to be brave? Why don't you just ask for it." Shi Mu pondered for a moment and then said slowly.
"Actually, I have repeatedly searched for the master of weapon refining to no avail. I had already given up hope of getting back the spiritual weapon. I originally planned to hand over the token to avoid disaster. But who would have thought that after some inquiring, I found out
That guy Zhao Chenlei is actually very involved with the enemy family that destroyed my whole family. Not only does he want to get my spiritual weapon, he also wants to capture my people and use them as training cauldrons." Cui Huan gritted his teeth and hated it.
said.
"I see, but now that the matter has come to this, what are your plans to let me provoke a powerful enemy and protect you for the rest of your life?" Shi Mu frowned slightly, and then said coldly after a while.
Cui Huan did not immediately answer Shi Mu's words, but lowered her head and clasped her hands tightly together, as if she was caught in a difficult decision and was very hesitant.
Seeing this, Shi Mu didn't rush him, he just waited quietly.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a full quarter of an hour, Cui Huan suddenly raised his head, gritted his teeth and said:
"If the master of the palace can help me, I am willing to use this spiritual weapon as a token to present it."
"Oh, how do you want me to help you?" Shi Mu looked noncommittal.
"Then Zhao Chenlei entered the Qinglan Holy Land two times before the palace master. Naturally, I will not force anyone to make things difficult for him and ask the palace master to confront him head-on. I only hope that the palace master can give me a shelter so that I will not be captured by him for the time being."
Cui Huan said this.
"Is that all?" Shi Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It will last for ten years. After ten years, I hope that the palace master can be my guarantor and let me participate in the next selection trial of Qinglan Holy Land. At that time, my life and death will be up to me, and I will have nothing to do with the palace master." Cui.
Huan replied firmly.
"So you want to become a disciple of Qinglan on your own. Okay, let me ask you first, do you know what the spiritual weapon your grandfather asked someone to build was?" After Shi Mu nodded, the conversation suddenly changed.
asked.
"This...I'm not sure either." Cui Huan was slightly startled and said with some shame.
"Your grandfather never told his family?" Shi Mu looked a little disbelieving.
"Master, don't get me wrong. In fact, even my grandfather didn't know what that spiritual weapon looked like. It is said that the master of the weapon refiner discovered that my grandfather's material was very special, so he used a new type of casting method.
In order to make the spiritual weapon exert its strongest effect, the final shape was not determined at that time. It was precisely because of this that the casting time of the spiritual weapon was greatly extended, so it was not possible to participate in the grand ceremony when my grandfather participated.
It was more completed than before, so much so that he could not see the completed spiritual weapon until his death." Cui Huan said about her grandfather, her expression became a little sad.
"The value of a spiritual weapon is great enough for me to protect you. Okay, I agree to all your conditions." Shi Mu's eyes flashed a few times and he said decisively.
"Palace Master, you...you really agreed?" Cui Huan looked into Shi Mu's eyes in disbelief and her voice became urgent.
Shi Mu looked at him calmly and nodded affirmatively.
In fact, he is naturally very tempted by the high-level spiritual weapon. After all, he currently only has a low-level spiritual weapon in his hand. If he can have a convenient high-level spiritual weapon, his strength will at least increase by several percent immediately.
Once his strength is improved, he will be able to reduce the number of times he uses the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique, thereby increasing his chances of keeping that fatal secret to a certain extent.
"Not only that, in the next ten years, you can use the resources produced in the mansion at will. If you have special needs, you can also use the spiritual stones in the mansion. I will not interfere too much on this point." Shi Mu said.
"Seriously?" Cui Huan was startled when he heard Shi Mu's words and blurted out this question.
"What? You don't want to?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows.
"No... Cui Huan, thank you Palace Master for your great kindness." Cui Huan finally came to her senses and hurriedly bowed her hands again, with a look of gratitude on her face.
"Okay, you can give me the token." Shi Mu said.
Hearing this, Cui Huan suddenly had a look of embarrassment on his face.
This woman was already quite beautiful, but at this moment her cold cheeks were slightly red, giving rise to a different kind of charm.
Seeing this situation, Shi Mu couldn't help but feel a little strange. He saw the woman suddenly reached out to the right side of his neck and unbuttoned the clothes there.
A piece of emerald green clothes was then opened in half, revealing a piece of plump and fair skin inside. A delicate hand reached down from the top and took out something from the ravine between the plump pieces.
Shi Mu's gaze, which he originally wanted to avoid, was suddenly attracted by that thing. (To be continued.)
