Chapter 210: Purple Jade Heart Protecting Lotus

Su Qingwu was about to respond, but at this moment, he heard Kong Jiu's voice transmission, so he turned to activate the Seven Treasures Binding Divine Silk.

The next moment, a flash of inspiration came to my eyes.

A girl in strange clothes suddenly appeared in sight.

When Fox Sixteen saw her, a hint of disbelief flashed across his face.

"Xiaojiu? Is it really you?"

A hint of a smile appeared on the girl's face.

"It's me. I haven't seen you for many years. How is everything going, Sixteen?"

The woman in red did not answer, but rushed over and hugged her friend.

Upon closer inspection, one can see crystal tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.

Su Qingwu looked at this scene, turned around and left the mirage, leaving the two monsters enough space to reminisce.

There was still a thin mist outside.

There are no other monks or monsters approaching at the moment, so it is relatively safe.

I stopped at the water corridor and admired the beauty of the lotus pond for a while. Then I looked around with my spiritual consciousness and found that there were no fish in the water.

To be precise, there were no living animals.

The water is clear, and judging by the vibrant lotus flowers, it doesn't look like the water is poisonous.

Just as Su Qingwu was thinking about the reason, two monsters walked out of the mirage.

Seeing her gaze on the lotus pond, Fox Sixteen could not help but explain:

“This lotus pond and the mirage tower were built after the human and demon races signed a contract. Originally, a demon saint fell in this place.

Affected by the remaining qi, no animals can survive in the lotus pond."

"That's right. Thank you, fellow Taoist Fox, for clearing up my confusion."

At this moment, Fox Shiliu waved his sleeves, and a ball of purple spiritual light instantly appeared in front of him, slowly floating towards Su Qingwu.

As they got closer, the spiritual light dissipated, revealing ten purple lotus flowers.

"This is the sixth-level spiritual plant that I mentioned earlier, which is over 9,000 years old, the Purple Jade Heart Protecting Lotus. You humans call it the healing holy medicine. I will give it to Fellow Daoist Su first, as a token of sincerity for the sixteenth transaction."

Su Qingwu was quite surprised.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, by doing this, aren't you afraid that I will break my promise in the future?"

"Since Xiao Jiu recognized him, Fellow Daoist Su must be a good person. Sixteen believes in you. Even if something like that really happened, the loss of some spiritual plants would not be a big deal to Sixteen."

"Thank you for your trust, Fellow Daoist Hu. I will prepare the corresponding weapons carefully. I wonder how to contact you then?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the woman in red opposite him pull out a golden hairpin from her hair and pass it to him through the air.

"There is a demon consciousness of Sixteen left inside. If Fellow Daoist Su wants to contact him, he can directly activate this hairpin with his spiritual power. Then, no matter where Sixteen is, he will be able to sense it and communicate with him through voice transmission.

However, the demon tribe was constantly fighting, and Sixteen could not guarantee that he would be safe.

If one day the golden hairpin breaks, it means that Sixteen is no longer alive, and the deal will naturally be terminated. The ten purple jade heart-protecting lotuses will be Sixteen's gift to fellow Taoists."

Su Qingwu took the golden hairpin and nodded in response:

"I understand. I wish you peace and success in the future."

"Thank you for your kind words, Taoist Su. The Mirage Tower is not a place to stay for long. I will take my leave now, Sixteen."

"Okay, take care, Fellow Daoist Fox."

......

Seeing the woman in red turn into a stream of light and leave, Kong Jiu walked to his master's side and whispered:

"Sixteen asked about what happened in Mitian City last night, and I told her the general situation."

Su Qingwu put away the ten purple jade heart-protecting lotuses and responded with a smile:

"This is not a secret at all. You can find out with a little inquiry. It's okay to tell Fellow Daoist Fox."

Kong Jiu shook his head and continued:

"Master, Sixteen guessed from what I said that you have a grudge against the Moon Shadow Tiger, Sword Fang Wolf, and Black Snake tribes."

"The Moon-Shattering Foxes are the mortal enemies of the three tribes. Even if she knew, she could just tell her tribe members after she returned that they just needed to not join forces with the mortal enemies and deal with me instead."

"Of course not. Sixteen's parents both died at the hands of the three clans. No matter what, she would never do such a thing."

Having said this, Kong Jiu sighed softly.

"I asked her, and she said that she came to the Mirage Tower to trade with humans and obtain weapons because she wanted to avenge her parents. Demon cultivators are not good at refining weapons, and her tribe members have tried before, but all of them ended in failure without exception."

After hearing this, Su Qingwu pondered and said:

"If we want to deal with the three tribes, relying on just one or two magic weapons or spiritual treasures is far from enough, unless one side is strong enough to crush them. But if that's the case, she won't go out to seek cooperation with the human race."

Kong Jiu nodded and said:

"Sixteen did mention that if this transaction goes smoothly, he will continue to try until he obtains a sufficient number of weapons."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to sense something and looked up into the distance.

"Master, another demon cultivator is coming!"

Su Qingwu naturally also sensed the movement in the distance at this moment.

Using the secret technique of the Golden Eye of Destruction to observe, he discovered that the person who came was actually a black snake, and its strength was in the late fifth stage.

Kong Jiu gritted his teeth.

"Master, this is really a narrow road for enemies to meet. Let's just kill him later."

Su Qingwu did not object to the proposal.

At this time, the demon cultivators flying from afar also discovered them.

When he saw Kong Jiu, his pupils shrank suddenly. At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something. He quickly stopped, turned around and ran away.

However, the next moment, a water-blue silk-like treasure flew towards it with a whoosh, wrapped around it several times, and tied it up tightly.

Under the restraint of this treasure, the Black Snake's demonic power stagnated, and it turned into its original form, falling straight to the ground.

Before it could react, a sharp light flashed before its eyes.

The black snake, which had transformed into its original form, felt a chill on its neck, and then its consciousness fell into darkness.

After a moment, a residual soul escaped from the snake body, with a hint of fear in its vertical pupils.

Just as he was about to use teleportation to escape, a peacock sound attack suddenly reached his ears.

The soul was affected by this and began to fall apart.

The sword light with murderous aura came closely from afar and instantly cut off the remaining soul.

The latter collapsed with a bang.

At this point, this fifth-stage black snake completely perished.

After killing the monster, Su Qingwu took out its inner elixir through the air, sealed it together with the snake corpse, and put it into an empty storage bag.

The Seven Treasures Binding Divine Silk was taken back by him, and Kong Jiu had already flown into the treasure.

Not long after, a beam of light suddenly emerged, left the water corridor, and sped towards Midian City.

After a while, Su Qingwu returned to the city smoothly.

In Mitian City, although the industry of refining instruments is not as large as the industry of alchemy, it is not small either.

After returning to the city, she checked every house and found that although there were many hairpin-type weapons, there were no magical treasures.

Even if it is at the level of a magic weapon, the highest it can be is no more than top grade.

The quality and value of this kind of thing are far less than that of ten purple jade heart-protecting lotuses that are over nine thousand years old.

Although Fox Sixteen is a demon, when it comes to transactions, he must be treated fairly.

Su Qingwu had made a promise before, so it was impossible for him to just buy a treasure to please the other party. Therefore, he decided to pay a large sum of money to hire someone to refine it.

There are craftsmen in every craftsmanship-related industry.

It took a whole day and after much inquiry, he finally paid 100,000 high-quality spirit stones as a deposit and asked a famous Taoist in Xuanqi Pavilion to refine it for him.

The requirement is to be at least Lingbao level. If failed, the deposit will be returned in full and the deadline is half a month to complete.
