Demonic World: I Pay to Win in Cultivation

Chapter 32 Gambling and Shipbuilding (for subscription)

Qingdai holds the earth escape talisman in her hand, and is swimming in the ground like a fish.

The rapidly consumed demon power could not stop Qingdai's excited mood, because a moment ago, the man who changed the structure of her hidden dragon seal sent her a vague message through the hidden dragon seal.

"The three hundred and thirty catties of Yin Bronze needed for the promotion of spells have been prepared, and she is required to rush to the notified place immediately, and she will not wait when it is overdue."

How could this not excite Qing Dai, the fearful life since she was a child made her yearn for power too much, she frantically wanted to become stronger until she gained the power to truly control her own destiny.

Although the Bone Demon God's chaotic battle outside the city today made the entire Canglan City noisy, she still left the relatively safe city without hesitation and rushed to the wilderness to the south.

As for whether the man who claimed to be the wheel-running king was lying to her?

The moment this idea appeared in her mind, Qingdai put it behind her. Being restrained and controlled by the other party, she had no right to question it. Once she disobeyed the order, the other party could burn her Yinshen within a single thought.

Instead of thinking about those, it is better to think about how to get more benefits. The correct solution is to go further on the road of magic, and then there is a possibility of getting rid of control in the future.

The distance to the destination is getting closer and closer. Seeing that most of the demon power has been consumed, Qing Dai, who still needs to save some demon power to deal with various unexpected situations on the way, escapes directly from the ground, looks for the direction in the dense forest, and heads for the nearest tributary of the Canglan River. Run away.

Yazi is the child of the dragon and the wolf, and he is very good at surviving in the dense forests of the mountains.

Qingdai, who practiced the Yazi method, galloped and jumped in the forest, trampled on fallen leaves, jumped over mountain streams, climbed high slopes, and finally came to a wide and flowing river in the second half of the rainy night.

A fire was lit on the bank, shining the nearby river with sparkling light. A tall figure was sitting beside the fire, roasting a roe deer, waiting for the arrival of Qingdai.

"My lord, this subordinate rushed over here immediately after receiving the news, but because of his low cultivation, he only arrived at this time. Please forgive me, my lord."

Qing Dai ran down this gentle slope, and knelt down on one knee from a distance, making a full gesture.

"Come here, don't use this trick in front of me."

Du Kang turned over the roe deer on the grill, beckoned to Qingdai to come over.

It was already late at night, two full hours had passed since Du Kang left Tuwei Lane, and he had already selected the location of the dock for the upcoming ship.

It is the Dangshui River, the nearest major tributary to the Canglan River.

Although the surface of this river is gentle, its upper and middle reaches are in high mountains and canyons, and no boats can navigate such turbulent river water, which makes this section of waterway lonely.

The waterway is wide, the water depth is sufficient, and it is close enough to the Canglan River. Such innate conditions determine that this is a good place for shipbuilding.

Du Kang just walked around the nearby river and saw several abandoned or still operating shipyards. One can imagine how many shipyards there are in the entire section of Dangshui River.

With the blue-faced boy's ability to manipulate wood, it is not difficult to build a ship as long as he finds a master who knows how to build a ship and occupies an abandoned dock.

Du Kang flicked out his claw blade, cut off a roe deer leg and handed it to Qing Dai who walked beside him.

"As you can see, I also know how to use the spell, and I can help you make progress in this spell, but what can you give in exchange for this power?"

"Loyalty, the subordinates are willing to dedicate their loyalty to the adults."

Qing Dai took the deer's leg with both hands, and replied without hesitation with a respectful expression.

"I hope you will think clearly before answering. For monks, loyalty is never empty."

Du Kang stretched out his hand and pointed in the air, and a cyan talisman flew out from his fingertips, floating ups and downs in front of Qingdai.

"This is the Mark of Obsessing the Demon. You should have heard of its name. If you really want to exchange loyalty for power, then accept it. If you don't want to, it's still too late to change your mind."

When Qing Dai saw this talisman, her pupils shrank, her lips subconsciously tightened, her body stiffened for a long time before she opened her mouth.

"Is there anything on Qingdai that can be equivalent to three hundred and thirty catties of Yin copper?"

While talking, Qing Dai began to undress her clothes.

"Your body is not that valuable."

Du Kang's voice interrupted Qing Dai's movements, and as he turned his head to look at her, Qing Dai saw a pair of black eyes.

Those were a pair of deep eyes, like a pair of whirlpools that sucked all her mind into them. After a whirlwind, she saw the moonlight giant with six arms again.

Standing at the feet of a three-foot-tall giant, the suffocating feeling of being next to the behemoth made Qingdai feel so insignificant, and the imposing aura of the other person, who was as godlike as a Buddha, made her breathless.

The giant leaned down slightly, his soft words fell into Qingdai's ears like Hong Zhong Dalu's roar.

"Your body is not that valuable."

"Absolute loyalty is your only bargaining chip."

"Do you have any more chances?"

"Who do you think you are? You can do whatever you want..."

...

The sudden death of his parents when he was young, the fear and helplessness of living in the Qianlong Society, the satisfaction after practicing magic, the unwillingness and pain of knowing that he was at the bottom of the monks... the scenes of his life in just over ten years flashed in his mind. Pass,

"Ah...don't say any more."

The deafening sound, even if you cover your ears, can be heard clearly in your mind, like awls stirring in your mind, Qingdai couldn't help screaming out of the burst of pain.

Following this scream, the voice in his head miraculously disappeared.

Opening his eyes and looking around, it was still the quiet riverside under the rainy night, and the roasted roe deer leg in his hand was still exuding a warm breath.

"If you can't make up your mind, you can leave here. This is more than three hundred catties of Yin copper. There are people in this world who can sell everything for it."

Qing Dai hastily lowered her eyes, not wanting Du Kang to see the hatred in her eyes.

She understood that this man must be playing tricks just now, which reminded her of these painful memories. But she didn't dare to express her dissatisfaction, she just put the deer's legs on a clean stone aside, and bowed to leave.

At the beginning, her pace was not fast, but she quickly started to run and headed for the original road.

Crash!

The Yin copper cast into copper ingot poured out from the stomach sac, making a crisp metal collision sound, which made Qing Dai's body pause slightly before running far, and then accelerated to run out of Du Kang's sight.

Du Kang didn't chase after it, nor did he launch a ban to burn Qingdai to death, but cut the deer in half with his claw blade, and put it on the fire to let the unripe belly cavity fully roast.

Until the whole deer was fully mature, the fat soaked the lean meat, and the surrounding area was full of tempting smells, and a series of subtle footsteps sounded not far away.

"Accepting this demon seal, can you make me stronger? The third level of Yazi method is not enough, at least you have to become a middle-level monk."

Qingdai was wet all over her body, her eye sockets were red and swollen, and she couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on her wet face, she asked Du Kang loudly.

"Okay, I promise you."

Du Kang, who secretly breathed a sigh of relief, replied with a smile of wisdom beads on his face. If it wasn't for the fact that the implantation of the demon-serving seal required the subject to be completely voluntary, why would he have to perform such a scene.

Mustering up the courage to look at Du Kang for a while, Du Kang's attitude towards his subordinates in memory finally became the last straw that crushed Qing Dai's defense. She gritted her teeth and came to the Yaoyao Seal, this time without any hesitation, she grasped this talisman emitting a dreamy blue light in the palm of her hand.

"Hope I'm not wrong, this is a boss who looks like he looks like."

...

Yang Liu is a master shipbuilder.

It took him thirty years to start as an apprentice in Shengjia Shipyard and become a master who can independently preside over the construction of large ships.

After that, Yang Liu worked in this position for another 20 years, presiding over the construction of more than 20 large ships and countless small ships. It was not until the age of 68 the year before last that I couldn't even hold a drawing pen steady before returning home from the shipyard to spend the rest of my life.

It should be said that although the pension money issued by the Sheng family is not too much, it is enough for Yang Liu to take care of the elderly and enjoy the joy of playing with his grandchildren.

But who told him to have an unworthy son who was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and could save Yang Liu money for twenty or thirty years. The old and weak came out to earn another coffin money for themselves after death.

Today, Yang Liu found a new job for himself through his former apprentice in the shipyard.

The apprentice is not too clear about the specific matters, and he also inquired about this work from other places.

It seems that it is a newly opened small shipyard. It wants to find an experienced master to check for the boss, so as not to let the newly hired masters not get along well with each other and cause any big troubles.

It's a good job!

As soon as the apprentice heard this, he felt that this position was very suitable for his master. He was noble, relaxed, prestigious, and could earn some money. There was no one more suitable than his master, so he directly helped to contact the new shipyard.

The other party was in charge of a female monk wearing a black gauze hat. After a simple conversation, the work was directly finalized.

The term of office is until the first ship is built, and the remuneration is 800 taels of silver. First, 200 taels of housing allowance is paid, and then board and lodging in the shipyard, and the remaining salary is paid monthly.

After the two hundred taels of silver were settled, Yang Liu hid the silver in a place where his son could not find it, and set off with the other party alone.

Yang Liu's mood is very relaxed. Anyway, the dock is not far away. It's just tens of miles south of the city on the Dangshui River. An old man who is dying at home has nothing to be coveted by others. Happily set off.

Yang Liu took the water route, and the boat turned into the Dangshui River after bumping on the Canglan River for more than an hour. He didn't realize something was wrong until he walked into the dock built by the other party.

The dock is old, and the interior is empty. It is full of signs of perennial abandonment. The water is full of foul-smelling aquatic plants. Iron star wood logs are randomly piled aside to suppress the yellow weeds in early spring. .

Yang Liu, who sensed something was wrong, wanted to leave, but was grabbed by the neck by the woman beside him, and the old and frail Yang Liu was supported by her to sit on a wooden chair.

As soon as his hands were placed on the armrests, the chair automatically squirmed and deformed, forming a handcuff with natural tree texture that restrained Yang Liu on the chair.

"Woman, I have no money. The only two hundred taels of silver is what you gave me today. I'm just a stinky shipbuilder, and I don't know the secrets of the Sheng family. Please let me go, an old man of my age." .”

"Old man, don't be nervous. We invited you here only because of your craftsmanship. When the ship we agreed on is built, you can leave with money."

A young man's voice sounded from behind, and when he walked around in front of him, Yang Liu realized that it was a tall, ordinary-looking young man.

In an instant, Yang Liu suddenly thought of something, quickly lowered his head and closed his eyes, and shouted.

"I didn't see it, I didn't see your face, please spare my life."

"The old man misunderstood. In order to make the communication between us more efficient, I will give you a meeting gift."

The man walked up to Yang Liu and pressed his palm on the top of his old and thin head.

Just when Yang Liu thought he was about to be killed, a dazzling white light pierced his eyelids and shot directly into his eyes, and a warm force poured down from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet.

He felt that his feeble heart became stronger again, his lungs that always felt thick with phlegm became clear when he breathed, and his trembling hands regained strength...

The wooden handcuffs disappeared at some point, and Yang Liu subconsciously jumped up.

Open your eyes and look at your strong hands, no old wrinkles and nasty age spots on them; touch your chest, the shriveled muscles become firm again; take a few steps forward to the dirty water, on the water is his The face of the prime of life, black hair, stretched skin, only a few faint wrinkles at the corners of the eyes...

All this made Yang Liu ecstatic.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was old and weak and needed someone to take care of him, he would have killed that rotten gambler's son long ago.

Now that I have regained my forty or fifty years old body, I just need to earn more if I don’t have any money. If I don’t like this son, I can have another one, and I can still catch up with my old age if I count the time.

He turned to look at the maker of all this, and gave a salute with fists in his hands.

"I have met my benefactor. I, Yang Liu, have lived for more than sixty years. I am not a person who does not know what is good or bad. My life is far less expensive than this magic. No."

The young body gave Yang Liu a different spirit, he no longer saw the cowardly and old look just now, and now he is full of heroic temperament when he was commanded by dozens of boatmen in the shipyard.

"I want to ask Master Yang to help me build a big boat that can go to sea."

"This...it's not my excuse. If I rely on my strength alone, I'm afraid... I won't be able to do it."

Yang Liuhuan looked around the apparently deserted dock, with a look of embarrassment on his face. Although he was a master shipbuilder who started as an apprentice, he was asked to build a ship that was seven or eight feet short and more than ten feet long by himself. The boat is indeed making things difficult for him.

"I invited Master Yang at a high price. Naturally, I didn't ask you to do hard work. You just need to design the boat and build it according to your own ideas. Someone will help you."

Du Kang patted Yang Liu on the shoulder, and pressed him on the wooden chair again. Ten tiny vines grew out of the armrest, and sharp wooden thorns grew from the tips of the vines, which suddenly pierced into Yang Liu's ten fingers. .

"what--"

Yang Liu raised his hands subconsciously while exclaiming, but the severe pain he imagined did not appear, but numbness appeared on his fingertips instead, and all ten fingers quickly lost consciousness.

"Close your eyes and it will tell you what to do."

Du Kang's voice rang in his ears. Yang Liu closed his eyes when he heard the words, and immediately had a wonderful perception in his mind. The chair he was sitting on seemed to become a part of his body, and this part of his body could be deformed at will.

The chair with yellow wooden texture quickly lost its original shape, and squirmed into a group of vine chairs. This group of vines carried Yang Liu forward, like a throne of grass and trees.

"Connect these vine tentacles to the iron star wood, and you can manipulate their shapes arbitrarily. The connection of the keels, the cutting of the plates, and the making of the mortise and tenon structure will all become easy."

This is a method specially designed by Du Kang for Yang Liu, a mortal, to communicate with the blue-faced boy in order to build ships faster.

"I've been infatuated for more than sixty years, and this is the first time I've come into contact with the power of magic. Let's start now."
