Chapter 1608 The Price of Summoning the Alchemy Cauldron
When Zi Chen woke up again, he found himself lying on a soft bed, and most of his injuries had recovered.
"Little guy, you're awake."
As soon as Zi Chen made a move, he heard the voice of old man Xin Ke.
Zi Chen sat up with difficulty. Several blood holes on his body had already been scarred, but they had not yet fully recovered.
Old man Xinke sat next to him, staring at the abacus in his hand, wondering what he was calculating.
"There's no need to risk your life for the sake of spiritual crystals. If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago. No, in order to save you this time, I spent a total of 1,100 spiritual crystals. I hope you can save your life this time." The harvest is enough to pay for this consumption." The old man raised the abacus in his hand and then looked at Zi Chen.
"You didn't look at my storage bag." Zi Chen asked curiously.
Old man Xin Ke curled his lips and said: "A broken storage bag, what's there to see?"
Zi Chen took out the storage bag from his arms, threw it directly to the old man, and said: "Calculating my harvest, I will sell you a piece of news, and I also want to summon something."
Old man Xin Ke took a deep look at Zi Chen, whose gaze made Zi Chen's heart tremble.
Fortunately, the next moment the old man was attracted by the contents of the storage bag, and the beating hearts were surging with powerful power.
And one of the hearts with a bloody hole is also extremely eye-catching.
"It's a royal family again, and it's still in the late seventh level." A flash of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he exclaimed: "There is also a royal family."
"Boy, tell me, have you gone deep into the Dax Plains? Why can you even encounter late-stage royal families?"
"We'll talk about this later. Let's take stock of my gains first."
The old man's eyes fell on the late-stage heart again, and he sighed: "It's a pity. Originally, this one could be worth five thousand, but because a lot of power has been lost, it is worth three thousand at most."
Zi Chen twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and with one dragon stab, he wasted two thousand. This was really quite a luxury.
But this is better than being killed.
The old man of Lingjing quickly calculated that the total number was 7,600. After excluding the 1,000 he owed previously and the 1,110 healing fees, Zi Chen still had 5,500 left.
"The boots and inner armor are damaged and need to be repaired," Zi Chen said.
The old man nodded and said: "In the past few days when you were in coma, you still have 4,500 left."
Zi Chen glared at the old man: "It will cost a thousand spiritual crystals just to repair it. Why don't you grab it?"
The old man curled his lips and said, "Is that damage? It's almost scrapped."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and tell me your news." The old man looked impatient.
"We'll talk about this later. I want to know if you have any way for me to summon other things."
"What are you trying to summon? An original weapon."
"It's not a weapon, it's a very special thing."
"As long as you pay enough, not just one, but ten will be fine."
"What's the price?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this either. Can you leave? If so, come with me."
Zi Chen stood up and followed old man Xin Ke regardless of his injuries.
Now his combat power is less than one-tenth of that of the outside world. He urgently needs to improve his combat power. Summoning the Wuji Alchemy Cauldron may bring unexpected effects.
Old man Xin Ke took Zi Chen to the back of the grocery store. There was a very conspicuous black wall there. The old man reached out from the side and saw a crack in the wall. Then the stone walls on both sides slowly opened to both sides.
An empty room appeared in Zi Chen's sight, with lights crisscrossing the room.
Zi Chen stared at the lights blankly, his expression gradually becoming serious. He looked at the old man and asked, "These are the rules."
"Yes, the rules of this world." The old man nodded and said: "If you want something, enter it and use your perception to transform it, and you will know the price you need to pay."
Zi Chen did not go deep, but asked doubtfully: "You have complete control over the rules."
The old man smiled and said: "How is this possible? We discovered this place accidentally. It is a magical place in the world. Little guy, don't hesitate. Just call for whatever you want. But I have to remind you that if you want the domain The world is impossible."
Zi Chen nodded and walked towards the place where the lights intersected in front of him.
Taking a step down, Zi Chen saw that there were many regular traces on the ground, densely packed and intertwined in a regular manner.
Zi Chen stepped forward, and a lot of light fell on Zi Chen's body, and then a cold and majestic voice sounded in Zi Chen's sea of consciousness.
"Mortal, tell me your request."
Zi Chen's heart moved. For a mortal, it's possible that the owner of the voice is still a god.
A pressure came down, which made Zi Chen unable to breathe. Zi Chen's face instantly turned pale. He sensed some kind of anger from this pressure.
Zi Chen gathered his thoughts and pictured the Wuji Alchemy Cauldron in his mind.
An alchemy cauldron that was only as big as a palm appeared in Zi Chen's sea of consciousness, and the next moment, the alchemy cauldron was reflected in the sky above Zi Chen's head.
After old man Xin Ke saw the alchemy cauldron appearing above Zi Chen's head, there was a hint of doubt on his face. He didn't understand why Zi Chen summoned a cauldron. Could it be that he was preparing to refine medicine.
Zi Chen only has one alchemy cauldron, which has an extraordinary origin and is known as the original thing in the world. If he wanted to summon it, he was afraid that the price would be too high, so Zi Chen had an extra thought and just transformed the appearance of the alchemy cauldron without any details. Outlined, and the size of the alchemy cauldron was deliberately reduced a lot.
In the eyes of old man Xin Ke, the blurry alchemy cauldron was just an ordinary thing. He even felt a little pity for Zi Chen. If he wanted alchemy cauldrons, he had plenty here, so why bother.
The transformed alchemy cauldron disappeared, and the pressure that shrouded this space disappeared, and the light in the sky gathered together and turned into a bright crystal.
The crystal slowly landed and was held by Zi Chen in his hand. His face turned pale.
"The price... is too high."
"How about it? What price do you have to pay?" Old man Xin Ke asked when he saw Zi Chen coming out.
"A thousand alien hearts." Zi Chen put away the spirit crystal and said with a bitter smile.
"What, a thousand hearts? The first time you summoned it, it was because of a broken cauldron that you actually wanted a thousand alien hearts."
Zi Chen nodded. He was a little confused now, whether he had made money from his little trick, or whether he had suffered a huge loss after being discovered.
Seeing Zi Chen's expression change, old man Xin Ke asked: "Then do you still want to summon him?"
"Of course." Zi Chen did not hesitate.
"That crap is very useful. If you want a thousand alien hearts, I can give you ten or eight cauldrons like that." The old man looked incomprehensible.
Zi Chen shook his head and did not explain.
"Okay, now let's talk about the information." Seeing that Zi Chen had made up his mind, the old man said no more.
"The aliens from the Dax Plains are going to attack this city." Zi Chen put away his disappointed mood and started talking about business.
"What." The old man looked at Zi Chen with an expression as if he was joking.
"This time I didn't go deep into the Dax Plains at all. These were all killed outside, and I risked my life to hear the strong aliens say this with my own ears." Zi Chen glanced at the old man and said, "Believe it or not. up to you."
The old man said solemnly: "Little guy, you can't joke about this matter. If what you say is true, Huangtian City will remember you as a great meritorious service. If it is false, you can bear the price behind this joke." Won’t come down.”
Zi Chen was not intimidated by the old man and said directly: "Believe it or not, you can go investigate on your own. Anyway, I heard it with my own ears. As for whether the aliens meant to say that, you don't have to worry at all, because I killed two of their royal families. , if they knew I was there, they wouldn’t be able to make this joke.”
The old man nodded, looking thoughtful.
Zi Chen said again: "Didn't you just say that you will be paid? You can judge the authenticity of the matter yourself, but before that, you should advance me a larger storage bag. If the matter is true, the storage bag will be considered If you give it to me, if it is fake, I will return it to you when the time comes."
"Don't you have a storage bag on you?"
"Do you think a one-square-meter storage bag can hold a thousand alien hearts?"
The old man couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "Is it worth it just for a broken tripod?"
Zi Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "Maybe he will surprise you."
The old man stared into Zi Chen's eyes. Zi Chen looked at him without any fear.
"Okay, I just believe you. This is a three-meter storage bag, which is enough for you." The old man took out a storage bag from his arms.
Zi Chen took it and found out his spiritual thoughts, his face immediately showed a look of surprise.
Because this three-meter storage bag is not only three meters long and three meters wide, but also three meters high. It is a cube.
After taking the storage bag, Zi Chen asked for some more elixirs, and this time the amount of elixirs Zi Chen needed was undoubtedly a huge amount, accounting for almost half of the spiritual crystals.
Zi Chen will use the next spiritual crystal to restore energy.
"Didn't you say that the alien races have gathered, are they going to go out again?"
"I'm not that stupid. I'll heal my injuries first, and then I'll find a way to hunt the aliens after the injuries are over."
"If the aliens really attack the city, it might be safer for you to stay in the city." Seeing Zi Chen preparing to leave, the old man said again.
Zi Chen shook his head and said: "There will definitely be many strong people in the city by then, including foreigners. I don't want to be slapped to death by others' attention."
Zi Chen has good combat power. Once he really attacks the city, it is easy to hunt down ordinary seventh-level aliens. But because it is too easy, he will attract too much attention. If he is accidentally slapped by the ninth-level alien race, he may be directly killed. Shoot to death.
The old man no longer stopped Zi Chen, but said: "You'd better keep a low profile. I recently heard that someone came here to look for Zi Chen."
Zi Chen's face changed slightly, he turned around and glanced at old man Xin Ke gratefully, then put away his long knife and dragon thorn, and walked towards his residence.
When he left, he also changed his appearance.
Here, Zi Chen barely knows Wharton except old man Sink. Now someone is looking for him, and it's obviously not Wharton.
Either Wharton or a stranger, and these people are most likely the Wang family, or another force working for the Star Fantasy Dragon Thorn.
