The old man smiled kindly: "Because it is a spirit treasure, and it is also built by the refining master himself, this floating shuttle needs 280,000 medium-grade spirit stones." ”

280,000 medium-grade spirit stones? Liu Qinghuan smiled lightly, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, he just looked at him meaningfully.

The old man's face slowly stiffened when he saw it, and his attitude became more and more respectful: "Senior, what do you think of the price?" Originally, the seniors were willing to come to my ancient mound dungeon, it was already the glory of our city, if you wanted this floating shuttle, we should have sent it directly to the door......"

He was a little embarrassed and changed his words: "But because the master who refined this spirit treasure has set a reserve price of 280,000 medium-grade spirit stones, our store can't make a claim...... But don't worry, we definitely didn't overcharge you half a spirit stone!"

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

He had already walked through most of the shops in the dungeon before, so he naturally knew that the price seemed to be very high, but for a spirit treasure, it was not high, but low. What's more, among all kinds of magic weapons and treasures, flying magic weapons are relatively large in size, use a lot of materials, and have to take into account defense, speed, etc., so the difficulty of refining is much more difficult than ordinary magic weapons, and the price of the finished product is naturally the highest.

Coupled with the old man's words, even the matter of the reserve price was directly reported, and this attitude is very interesting. From the information revealed by the old man's previous words, it can be seen that the final owner of this shop is the lord of the ancient mound underground city.

You know, a lot of times cheap is not so easy to take advantage of.

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

"Ahh......h

Liu Qinghuan stopped suddenly, a trace of coercion leaked from his body, and sneered: "The deity looks very shallow-eyed, and will be greedy for a spiritual treasure for you?!"

The old man's waist was so stiff that it almost touched the ground, he was sweating profusely, and his face was as white as paper, but he whispered in a continuous voice: "The villain should die, the villain should die, and the seniors are angry......"

Liu Qinghuan withdrew the coercion and sat down in the private room again, and his tone softened slightly: "The deity doesn't like the state of hiding his head and showing his tail the most, and if there is something, I can't think about it." ”

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

Although the other party was a Yuanying Monk, he really didn't pay much attention to it before. Although the ancient mound dungeon is not large and located in a remote location, the city lord of his family is a monk in the late Yuanying period, and he is also a famous person in the entire Nine Shadows, which is not comparable to ordinary Yuanying at all.

That floating shuttle is also considered to be the top level in the flying magic weapon, and the normal price is at least four or five hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones, and this is a big city within a radius of thousands of miles, and the price is even higher, and there are people who want it for six or seven hundred thousand. He originally wanted to sell it for a good time, and then say what he wanted to ask for, eat people with a soft mouth and take people with soft hands, plus the face of the city lord, this person is not easy to refuse.

But he didn't think that the other party was so difficult to fool, but he was self-defeating, and then he realized that he was now a Yuanying monk who could kill him with one finger, and he was already afraid and afraid in his heart, and regretted not being at the beginning.

He only really figured out at this time that he was usually a fox and a fake tiger, but if he really died at the hands of this person, even if the city lord knew about it afterwards, it would be impossible for him to make a feud with a Yuanying monk.

If you are not as good as a person, you are just an ant after all.

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 seniors for your magnanimity." In fact, the spies outside the city only came with the news two hours ago that a wave of extremely terrifying corpse insects would arrive in our dungeon in about one day. ”

He carefully looked at Liu Qinghuan's expression, but there was no trace of emotion on his extremely young face, so he had to retract his gaze in a cowering manner, and continued in a low voice: "However, you also know that my city lord has already set off for the secluded capital early and has taken a large number of people with him, so now there is only one Yuanying senior in the entire dungeon who is still in retreat, and it is really difficult to support the safety of the entire dungeon." ”

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

"Yes, yes, yes. The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead: "So when I saw you appear in the store at first glance, the villain was really overjoyed, and his heart was full of gratitude." As long as you are willing to help defend the city, you will be the great benefactor of my ancient mound underground city, and the city lord of my family will also remember the favor of his predecessors. And the spirit stone shop needed for the floating shuttle will be supplemented by the master separately, and the seniors must be accepted regardless of their previous suspicions. In addition, the small shop can also offer a top-level spiritual treasure to thank the seniors for their unstinting efforts. ”

Liu Qinghuan gently tapped on the small table in his hand, with a deep groan.

The old man immediately came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Please wait for a while." ”

He ran into the treasure room and received the floating shuttle, respectfully placed it in Liu Qinghuan's hand, and took out a flattened delicate wooden box from his arms, untied the seal on the outside of the box, and opened it carefully.

I saw a vivid doll in the box, only three inches long, with a finely carved face, like the most beautiful fairy in the palace that day, wearing a noble and elegant palace dress, and the skin exposed outside was like a real person, pink and white, and it could be broken by blowing.

"This is the posthumous work of the puppet master Qu Changfeng, known as the living puppet, as long as you pour your divine consciousness into it, this puppet can come back to life, gentle and obedient, not only can carry out the master's orders, is to make the bed and fold the quilt......"

The old man smiled obscenely, and seeing that Liu Qinghuan didn't react, he immediately retracted again, pointed to the position of the puppet's heart, and said: "This puppet can also be driven by spirit stones, and the cultivation can reach the highest stage of Jindan, and it can also be used as a helper when fighting against people." Don't look at her as if she is very fragile and fragile, in fact, her body is made of the best quality gold essence Haoyue stone, which is indestructible, and the skin on the outside is made of a spell-breaking material, Secret Star Softsilver......"

While listening to the old man's gushing introduction, Liu Qinghuan picked up the doll and looked at it carefully, his eyes becoming more and more surprised.

He didn't see many puppet puppets, and there were very few monks in this kind of strange skill, and even if there were, most of them were 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 this one be so delicate.

One more helper in the later stage of Jindan sounds very good. And the medicine field in the Songxi Cave Heavenly Map needs to be taken care of often, it used to rely on Xiao Hei and Sakura Niang, but now Sakura Niang can't easily leave the soul nourishing immortal coffin, and Xiao Hei is seriously injured again, so it's not bad to buy a puppet to take care of the medicine field and deal with chores.

Moreover, the puppet has no real intelligence, no matter how flexible and agile it is, it is just a puppet, and it is impossible to really come to life. He has too many secrets to be known to outsiders, but a puppet who completely obeys orders has no worries about this.

Using the divine sense, the delicate parts filled the inside of the puppet's body, each with tiny magic circles engraved on it, connected to each other. However, when he reached the position of 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 puppet, and the puppet master naturally didn't want his refining secret to be seen by the person who bought the puppet. If you look at it by force, it is very likely that the puppet will immediately self-destruct from the inside.

I picked up a booklet in the box, which wrote about how to manipulate the puppet.

The old man looked a little anxious, the insect tide could attack at any time, and there was not much time left for them. This time the insect tide was a little strange, it appeared silently, and when they found out, it was less than a day's distance from the ancient mound dungeon.

But he didn't dare to urge Liu Qinghuan, so he had to watch from the sidelines. When he saw that Liu Qinghuan finally put down the puppet, he hurriedly asked cautiously, "Senior, are you, are you still satisfied?"

Liu Qinghuan closed the box and thought for a moment before he said slowly: "First tell me about the situation of the corpse insect tide and what I want to do." ”

The insect tide sounds like a beast tide, and everyone hears it, but these people of the Nine Shadows seem to be quite calm, and even the two low-level monks they met before also said that they use the fire sand when they encounter the insect tide, they don't know what is going on.

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 insect tide he had received before: "The scale of this insect tide is a bit large, and it will take about three or five days to pass it all. Because my ancient mound dungeon is underground, and the walls have been specially treated, there are not many places that need to be defended, and most of the low-level corpse insects cannot burrow into the ground. But this time, it was found that some of them were blood-sickled fireworms, which were not afraid of fire and sand at all, and could burrow into the ground. Just in case, I'll need your help guarding the entrance, as long as you survive the insect tide. ”

Liu Qinghuan listened silently, his brows furrowed more and more, and sure enough, hundreds of thousands of spirit stones were not so easy to take.

The old man saw that his expression had changed, for fear that he would not help, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the entrance outside the dungeon will be closed at that time, and the insect tide may not be found, and except for a very few, they will not stay in place, and they may not be able to find the entrance of the dungeon, and it is not so easy to break through the protective array......

In the end, Liu Qinghuan was helpless, but he still agreed.

He knew very little about the situation in this world now, and if he encountered a wave of insects outside the city, he might have to resist only one way. The thought of facing the overwhelming insects made him feel a slight numbness in his brain, and a chill ran in his back.

So he didn't want to leave the city until he had to. And these people of the Nine Shadows obviously have a lot of experience in dealing with the insect tide, he can't leave the city anyway, the nymph tide is attacking, and in the end he doesn't want to help, so at this time, there are two spiritual treasures to collect, why not.

In addition, he can also take advantage of this observation to prepare for walking alone in the Nine Shadows Domain in the future.

Putting the floating shuttle into his sleeve, Liu Qinghuan picked up the doll, pinched the trick, and the doll fell to the ground and became a normal height. Looking at it at this time, although the puppet's expression is lifeless, it still does not hide its amazing beauty, although it is flashy, but it is indeed very pleasing to the eye.

He first placed a high-grade spirit stone into the hole at the mouth of his heart, and then a little at the center of his eyebrows, and his divine sense poured in.

I saw that the puppet's closed eyes trembled, and slowly opened a pair of beautiful eyes like ink, and moved slightly, and the whole face became smart, as if it was really alive.

With a turn of his eyes, the puppet saw Liu Qinghuan, his hands were gently clasped together and bowed down, and his voice was soft and tactful: "Master!"

The old man sighed and said, "Like, really like! Except that he doesn't breathe, it's just like a real person." Haha, it's the first time the villain has seen such a lifelike puppet, and today's blessing to the seniors is also an eye-opener. ”

Liu Qinghuan was also very satisfied, and finally felt that he had not lost money in this transaction.

Putting the doll away, he stood up and said, "First of all, I'm only responsible for guarding the entrance, but if I can't keep it in the end, then I can't blame it." ”

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

"Alright, now take me to another Primal Monk in the city. Liu Qinghuan said: "He won't still be in retreat, right?"

"The senior has already been released, please come with me. ”

The two left the small shop and walked down the passage, and the old man said a little proudly as he walked: "Look here, this is a sealed door, and our ancient mound dungeon has several sealed doors as thick as a city wall, even if the entrance above can't be guarded, you can retreat to the bottom, and as soon as the door falls, no matter how powerful those corpse insects are, they can't attack it." ”

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

Therefore, it is impossible to leave the door closed until the real life and death are at stake. And as soon as it falls, the dungeon really becomes a tomb.

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

After a short time, the two of them arrived in a stone room, where a ghost cultivator sat on a stone chair in the middle of the stone with a golden sword, listening to the reports of several Jindan periods with a gloomy and unhappy face.

As soon as Liu Qinghuan entered, the other party immediately looked over, but saw that there were two evil turquoise eyes in his eyes.

The old man hurriedly stepped forward to introduce the two sides.

Hearing that he was here to help, Ghost Xiu withdrew his gaze, snorted coldly, and arched his hand perfunctorily: "Death." ”

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 leisure to make friends, so he replied: "Aoki." ”

After that, a group of people continued to discuss the matter of dealing with the insect tide, and Liu Qinghuan listened for a while, and after understanding what he needed to do, he left the stone room and returned to the ground.

Interestingly, after the news of the insect tide finally spread, those monks who had not entered the city before flocked to the entrance, and they were shocked to find that the entrance fee had become a hundred spirit stones!
