Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 574
The old man smiled kindly: "Because it is a spirit treasure and was also built by a master craftsman, this floating shuttle needs 28 middle-grade spirit stones."

28 middle-grade spirit stones?Liu Qinghuan smiled lightly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, she just looked at him meaningfully.

The old man's face gradually became stiff and his attitude became more respectful: "Senior, what do you think of the price? Originally, it is the glory of my city that the senior is willing to visit my ancient mound dungeon. If you want this floating shuttle , we should have delivered it directly to your door..."

He changed the subject with some embarrassment: "But because the master who made this spirit treasure set a base price of 28 middle-grade spirit stones, our store can't make any claims...but don't worry, we will never overcharge you by half A spirit stone!"

The smile on Liu Qinghuan's face gradually disappeared, and she became expressionless.

He had visited most of the shops in the dungeon before, so he naturally knew that the price seemed high, but for a spirit treasure, it was not too high, but rather low.What's more, among all kinds of magical artifacts and treasures, flying magical artifacts are much more difficult to refine than ordinary magical artifacts because they are relatively large in size, use a lot of materials, and have to take into account defense and speed. The price is naturally the highest.

Coupled with the old man's words, even the reserve price was directly quoted, this attitude is worth pondering.From the information revealed by the old man's previous words, it can be seen that the last owner of this shop is the city lord of the ancient mound dungeon.

You know, many times it is not so easy to take advantage of being cheap.

Liu Qinghuan glanced at the exquisite shuttle suspended in the mid-air again, secretly thought it was a pity, turned around and walked out, and said indifferently: "Then I'm sorry, I don't like to take advantage of others, so I don't care if I don't want this spirit treasure!"

"Ah!" The old man yelled nervously, and hurriedly chased after him, slapping himself on the mouth: "Look at my clumsy tongue, senior, don't leave, I have something to discuss..."

Liu Qinghuan stopped suddenly, with a trace of coercion leaking out of her body, and said with a sneer, "This deity seems to have shallow eyelids? Would you still be greedy for a spirit treasure?!"

The old man's waist was so hunched that it almost touched the ground, he was dripping with sweat, and his face was as white as paper. Wei Wei said repeatedly in a condescending voice: "Damn the villain, damn the villain, senior, calm down..."

Liu Qinghuan withdrew her coercion, sat down in the elegant room again, and said in a slightly more relaxed tone, "I don't like the state of hiding my head and showing my tail the most, and I can talk about things when I have something, and I can't think about it."

The old man thought he had messed up the matter, but seeing that there was a turning point, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and more fear of the person in front of him rose in his heart.

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 not big and located in a remote place, the lord of his family is a late Nascent Soul cultivator, and he is considered a well-known person in the entire Jiuyou, which is not comparable to ordinary Nascent Souls.

That floating shuttle is considered top-tier among flying magic weapons. The normal asking price is at least 50 million middle-grade spirit stones, and the price is even higher at 70 million for a city that is only a thousand miles away. There are also people who want it.He originally wanted to make a good sale with this, and then he said what he wanted, and if he cannibalize people, he will treat people softly, and with the face of the city lord, it would be hard for this person to refuse.

But he didn't expect the other party to be so easy to fool, and he was self-defeating. Only then did he realize that the other party was now a Nascent Soul cultivator who could kill him with a single finger.

At this time, he really wanted to understand that he was usually just pretending to be a tiger, but if he really lost his life at the hands of this person, even if the city lord found out afterwards, it would be impossible for him to have a grudge against a Nascent Soul cultivator.

His cultivation is not as good as that of a human being, after all, he is nothing more than an ant.

Getting up from the ground, the old man's face was full of gratitude, and he didn't dare to play any tricks: "Yes, yes, thank you for your generosity, senior. In fact, this is the case. The spies outside the city only received news two hours ago. A wave of extremely terrifying The zombie swarm will reach our dungeon in about one day."

He carefully looked at Liu Qinghuan's expression, but there was no trace of emotion on that extremely young face, so he retracted his eyes in awe, and continued in a low voice: "But, as you know, my city lord has already set off early Youdu also took 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 support the safety of the entire dungeon."

Liu Qinghuan glanced at him with a half-smile, and said, "So you want to ask me for help?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead: "So when I first saw you in the store, I was overjoyed and filled with gratitude. As long as you are willing to help defend the city, He is the great benefactor of my ancient mound dungeon, and my city lord will also remember the favor of the senior. And the small store of spirit stones needed for the floating shuttle will be made up for the master separately, and I ask the senior to accept it regardless of the past. In addition, the shop can offer another top-level spirit treasure as a thank you to senior for his generosity."

Liu Qinghuan tapped lightly on the small table beside her, with a look of deep thought on her face.

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

He quickly ran into the treasure room to collect the floating shuttle, placed it respectfully in Liu Qinghuan's hand, and took out a flat delicate wooden box from his arms, unsealed the outer seal of the box, and opened it carefully.

I saw a lifelike doll inside the box, only about three inches long, and its face was carefully carved, like the most beautiful fairy in the palace that day, wearing a noble and elegant palace dress, the exposed skin was like a real person Same, pink and fair, fluffy.

"This is the last work 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 alive. It has a gentle and gentle temperament. It can not only carry out the master's orders, but also make beds. quilt……"

The old man smiled wretchedly. Seeing that Liu Qinghuan hadn't responded, he immediately restrained himself, pointed at the doll's heart, and said seriously: "This puppet can also be driven by spirit stones, and its cultivation can reach the late stage of Jindan. It can be used as a helper. Don’t look at her as fragile and fragile, but her body is actually made of the best quality Jinjing Haoyue Stone, which is indestructible, and the outer skin is made of a magic-breaking material, Mixing Softsilver... ..."

While listening to the old man's eloquent introduction, Liu Qinghuan picked up the doll and looked at it closely, her eyes became more and more surprised.

He doesn't see many puppets. There are very few monks in this kind of special skill society. Even if there are, most of them are very low-end.He had seen one in the undersea cave where he heard about the old demon many years ago, but the body of that one was as heavy as a thousand catties, how could it be as delicate as this one.

It sounds good to have one more helper in the later stage of Golden Core.Moreover, the medicine fields in the Songxi Cave map need constant care. In the past, it was Xiao Hei and Ying Niang who relied on them, but now Ying Niang can't easily leave the soul-cultivating longevity coffin. Tian and handling chores are also good.

Moreover, the puppet does not have real intelligence, no matter how flexible it is, it is just a puppet, and it is impossible to really come alive.He has too many secrets to let outsiders know, but a puppet who completely obeys orders has no worries about it.

Using the spiritual sense to check, the delicate parts filled the inside of the doll's body, each of which was engraved with tiny magic circles, which were connected with each other.But when it reached the position of its head and heart, it was blocked by a force.

Liu Qinghuan secretly speculated that these two places are very likely to be the core of the puppet, and the puppet master naturally didn't want his refining secrets to be seen by the person who bought the puppet.If you check it hard, it is very likely that the doll will self-destruct immediately from the inside.

He also picked up a booklet in the box, which described the method of puppet manipulation and so on.

The old man looked a little anxious. The swarm of insects might attack at any time, and there was not much time left for them.This time the bug swarm was a bit strange, it appeared silently, and when they discovered it, it was less than a day away from the ancient mound dungeon.

But he didn't dare to urge Liu Qinghuan, so he could only watch helplessly.When Liu Qinghuan finally put down the puppet, he hurriedly asked cautiously; "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 swarm and what I'm going to do."

The swarm of insects sounded like a swarm of beasts. Everyone's face changed when they heard it, but these people from the Nine Nethers seemed to be quite calm. Even the two low-level monks I met before said that when they encountered an swarm of insects, No matter what gang fire sand is used, I don't know what's going on.

The old man couldn't help being overjoyed. Knowing that he had already agreed to it, he hurriedly told the truth about the bug swarm that he had received before: "The scale of this bug swarm is a bit large, and it will take about three or two days to completely pass. Because the city is underground and the walls have undergone special treatment, there are not many places that need to be defended. Most of the low-level necromancers cannot penetrate the ground. But this time I found some blood scythe sting fireworms, this kind of insects They are not afraid of Ganghuosha at all, and they can drill into the ground. Just in case, I need your help to guard the entrance, as long as we survive the insect swarm, it will be fine."

Liu Qinghuan listened silently, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Sure enough, hundreds of thousands of spirit 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 at that time, the insect swarm may not be found, and except for a very small number of them, they will not stay where they are. It may not be possible to find the entrance of the dungeon, and it is not so easy to break through the protective formation..."

In the end, Liu Qinghuan felt helpless, but still agreed.

He doesn't know much about the situation in this world now. If he encounters a bug swarm outside the city, he may have to fight hard.Thinking of facing the overwhelming insects, he felt a slight numbness in his brain, and a chill ran down his back.

So he didn't want to leave the city unless it was absolutely necessary.And these people from Jiuyou obviously have a lot of experience in dealing with insect swarms. He can't leave the city anyway. If the swarm of insects invades, he will help the leader in the end, so there are two spirit treasures to collect at this time, so 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 back into her sleeve, Liu Qinghuan picked up the doll, and with a pinch, the doll fell to the ground and became a normal height.Looking at it now, although the expression of the doll is lifeless, it still does not hide its amazing beauty. Although it is flashy, it is indeed very pleasing to the eye.

He first put a high-grade spirit stone into the hollow in his heart, and then put a little bit between his eyebrows, and poured his spiritual consciousness into it.

The closed eyelids of the puppet trembled, and slowly opened a pair of beautiful eyes that were as black as lacquer. With a slight movement, the whole face became alive, as if it really came alive.

Turning its gaze, the puppet saw Liu Qinghuan, and lightly clasped its hands together and bowed down, with a soft and melodious voice: "Master!"

The old man clicked his tongue and praised: "Like, really like it! Except that it doesn't breathe, it's just like a real person. Haha, it's the first time for the villain to see such a lifelike doll. Today, thanks to the senior, it's an eye-opener." .”

Liu Qinghuan was also very satisfied, and finally felt that she did not lose out on this deal.

Putting the doll away, he stood up and said, "Let's say it first, I'm only responsible for guarding the entrance, but if you really can't keep it in the end, then you can't blame me."

Even if the old man was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say anything, and said respectfully: "That is, that is."

"Okay, now take me to see another Nascent Soul cultivator in the city." Liu Qinghuan said: "Is he still in retreat?"

"Senior Shu Shang has left the customs, please follow me."

The two left the small shop and walked down the passage. The old man said proudly as he walked, "Look here, this is a closed door, and our ancient mound dungeon has several closed doors as thick as city walls. If we can no longer defend the entrance, we can retreat to the bottom, once the door is closed, no matter how powerful those ghost worms are, they can't get in."

Liu Qinghuan said lightly: "If this door falls, I'm afraid it will never rise again."

Therefore, it is impossible to close the door without the real life and death.And as soon as it falls, the dungeon really becomes a tomb.

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

Not long after, the two arrived in a stone room. A ghost cultivator sat on a stone chair in the middle with a big knife and a golden knife, listening to the report of several golden elixirs with a gloomy and displeased face.

As soon as Liu Qinghuan entered, the other party immediately looked over, but saw that there were actually two strange emerald green eyes in his eyes.

The old man hurried forward to introduce to both sides.

Hearing that he was here to help, Guixiu withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, snorted coldly, and cupped his hands perfunctorily: "Shu Shang."

The voice was sharp and piercing, 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 she cupped her hands and replied, "Qingmu."

Afterwards, a group of people continued to discuss how to deal with the bug swarm. 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 insect swarm finally spread, those monks who hadn't entered the city before flocked to the entrance one after another, and suddenly found that the entry fee became one hundred spirit stones!
