Eternal Tranquility

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 her eyes, she just looked at him meaningfully.

The old man's face slowly became stiff when he saw it, and his attitude became more and more respectful: "Senior, what do you think of the price? It is already 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 subject in 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 had visited most of the shops in the dungeon before, and naturally knew that the price seemed high, but for a spiritual treasure, it was not high, but low. What's more, among all kinds of magic weapons and treasures, flying magic weapons are much more difficult to refine than ordinary magic weapons because they are relatively large in size, use a lot of materials, and have to take into account defense, speed, etc. The price is naturally the highest.

Coupled with the old man's words, even the lowest price was reported directly, this attitude is worth pondering. It can be seen from the information revealed by the old man's previous words that the last owner of this shop was the city lord of the ancient tomb dungeon.

You know, many times it’s not easy to get a bargain.

Liu Qinghuan glanced at the exquisite long shuttle suspended in mid-air, secretly said a pity, turned around and walked out, saying 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 hint of coercion leaking from his body, and sneered: "I look very short-sighted? Will I covet 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 a little: "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 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 even more afraid of the person in front of him.

Although the other party was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he really didn't pay much attention to it before. Although the ancient tomb dungeon is small and located in a remote location, the city owner of his family is a late-stage Nascent Soul monk and is considered a well-known person in the entire Jiuyou. He is not comparable to ordinary Yuanyings.

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 100,000 yuan. He originally wanted to use this to make a good sale, and then tell him what he wanted to ask for. He was soft-spoken and soft-handed, plus the city lord's face, it would be difficult 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 the person facing him 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 powerful, 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 his cultivation is not as good as that of others, he is just 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 anymore: "Yes, yes, thank you for your generosity, senior. In fact, this is the case. The spies outside the 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 continued in a low voice: "But, you also know that my city lord has already set off for the trip early. Youdu has also taken 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. I also ask my senior to accept it regardless of past grudges. In addition, the shop can also present another top-level spiritual treasure to thank the senior for his generous help. "

Liu Qinghuan lightly tapped the small table at her hand with a thoughtful look on her face.

The old man suddenly understood and said hurriedly: "Please wait a moment."

He ran into the treasure room and collected the 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 the exposed skin looked like a real person. The same, pink and white, and can be broken by blowing.

"This is the legacy of the puppet master Qu Changfeng. It is called 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. He pointed at the heart of the puppet and said seriously: "This puppet can also be driven by spirit stones. 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 surprised.

He didn't see many puppets. There were very few monks in this kind of side sect, and even if there were, most of them were very low-end. He had seen one in the underwater cave where Old Demon Wen Dao lived many years ago, but the body of that one was as heavy as a thousand kilograms. There was no way it was as delicate as this one.

An extra helper for the late stage of Golden Elixir sounds great. Moreover, the medicine fields in the Songxi Cave Sky 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, and Xiao Hei was seriously injured, so he bought a doll to take care of the medicine. Tian and handling chores are also good.

Moreover, the doll has no real intelligence. No matter how flexible it is, it is just a puppet and cannot really come to life. He has too many secrets that cannot be known to outsiders, but a puppet who completely obeys orders has no worries at all.

Using his spiritual sense to examine it, he found that the inside of the doll's body was filled with exquisite parts, each one engraved with tiny magic circles and connected to each other. But when he reached his head and heart, he was blocked by a force.

Liu Qinghuan secretly speculated that these two places were most likely the core of the doll. The puppet master naturally did not want his refining secrets to be seen by the people who bought the doll. If you look closely, it is very likely that the doll will self-destruct immediately 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 might attack at any time, and there was not much time left for them. There was something strange about the insect wave this time. It appeared silently. When they discovered it, they were already less than a day away from the ancient tomb dungeon.

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 beast tide, and everyone's expression changes when they hear it. However, these people from Jiuyou seem to be quite calm. Even the two low-level monks that they met before said that when they encountered the insect tide, I don't know what Ganghuo sand is used for.

The old man couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that he had already agreed to most of it, and hurriedly told the truth about the information he had received about the insect tide before: "The scale of this insect wave is quite large, and it will take about three or two 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 penetrate the ground. But this time, some blood sickle-thorned fire insects were found among them. I am not afraid of the fire sand at all, and I can burrow into the ground. Just in case, I need your help to guard the entrance. I just need to survive the insect wave."

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. The insect tide may not be discovered, and except for a few, they will not stay in place. 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 wave outside the city, he may only have one way to resist. Thinking of facing the overwhelming insects, his brain felt numb and a chill ran down his back.

So he didn't want to leave the city unless he had to. And these people from Jiuyou obviously have a lot of experience in dealing with the insect tide. He can't leave the city anyway. If the insect tide comes in, he will not be the first to help in the end, so there are two spiritual treasures to collect at this time, why not for.

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 its normal height. Looking at it again, although the doll's expression is lifeless, it still does not hide its amazing beauty. Although it is flashy, it is indeed very pleasing to the eye.

He first placed a high-quality spiritual stone into the hollow at his heart, and then placed it between his eyebrows, pouring his spiritual consciousness into it.

I saw the doll's closed eyes trembled, and slowly opened a pair of beautiful eyes as dark as paint. With a slight movement, 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 clicked his tongue and praised: "It looks like it, it really looks like it! 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 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 it clear first that I am 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 been released from 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't defend the entrance, you can also retreat below. Once the door is sealed, no matter how powerful the corpse insects are, they can't get in. "

Liu Qinghuan said lightly: "If this seal falls, I'm afraid it won't be able to be raised again."

Therefore, it is impossible to close the door until there is a real life and death situation. And once it falls, this dungeon really turns into a tomb.

The old man was embarrassed for a moment and finally stopped talking.

Not long after, the two of them arrived in a stone room. A ghost cultivator with a big sword was sitting on a stone chair in the middle, listening to the reports of several Jindanqi with a gloomy and unhappy face.

As soon as Liu Qinghuan entered, the other party immediately looked over, only to see 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 voice was sharp and harsh, with the sound of gold 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 rushed to the entrance and were shocked to find that the entrance fee had become one hundred spiritual stones!
