Chapter 325 Transaction [Thanks to the leader "s1ckz"] [Two in One]
The rules of the underworld.
The King of Terror-Eating passed away peacefully.
…
When Li Chu saw the entire place suddenly empty and only one evil spirit was left, he was moved, his hands were trembling, and his sword energy was surging.
I'm afraid it's too late, I'm going to blow you up.
Looking at the Chunyang Sword raised high, it drew a trace of death.
The Terror-Eating King was extremely frightened.
But as an evil spirit that has survived for countless years, it understands that compromise is of no use at this point.
Either he exploded in silence or he died in silence! So he rose up in resistance.
He raised his hands and pointed them forward.
boom--
The sky around them suddenly twisted, like a crumpled ink painting, suddenly becoming mottled and worn. This distortion spread forward rapidly, and instantly fell to the ground, and the grass, trees and rocks in the mountains suddenly became old, broken and withered.
It was as if there was an invisible but clear line that separated the weirdness from reality. And this line was rapidly approaching where Li Chu was.
Bang.
But when the line reached Li Chu's feet, it suddenly stopped abruptly as if it had hit an indestructible wall.
Because Li Chu's sword had already fallen.
"roar--"
A red dragon flew across the sky, instantly breaking through the strange lines and surging away in the air.
In a flash, it swallowed up the Terror-Eating King.
It died in silence as expected.
In the brief moment before the Red Dragon, the Terror-Eating King felt completely hopeless. He did not hate Li Chu for being too harsh, nor did he hate the Medicine Master Demon for leading the devils into the village... He only hated himself for not picking up the bucket and running away earlier.
If there is an afterlife, remember not to watch the fun. Maybe you will end up being the only one getting beaten.
boom--
The Terror-Eating King exploded in the air into a brilliant firework, and a black light fell.
Li Chu was quick-eyed and immediately flew over to catch it.
When I took it in my hand, I found it was a fist-sized black magic bead, deep and mysterious. Holding it in my palm, I felt that it seemed to contain a big world...
It feels like a big treasure.
Plus the considerable experience points given by the Terror Eater King, and the blood magic crystals in Lao Du's bag...
This trip was surprisingly fruitful.
However, he did not rashly inject spiritual power to try it out, after all, he did not know what the effect of this treasure was. If it was a one-time powerful explosive, wouldn't that be courting death?
I'd better wait until I get back and ask the master.
He turned around and went back to the altar, and saw Lao Du and Mu Lan hiding in the jungle nearby.
Seeing Li Chu coming, Lao Du flashed in front of Mu Lan, opened his arms, and said passionately:
"Don't be afraid, Miss Mulan. I carry the glory of Deyun Temple on my shoulders. I will definitely protect you to the end... Deyun disciples never back down!"
"Card."
Li Chu walked closer and ended his performance.
"Fuhuang's demon body was finally awakened, and I don't know where it went." Li Chu said, and then looked at Mu Lan, "Miss Mu Lan, next I'll trouble you to take us to Gaoqiao Cave to discuss the transaction of blood demon crystals."
"Ah... OK."
Mu Lan nodded, but did not move. Her expression suddenly became a little embarrassed and her face suddenly turned red.
"Miss Mulan, what's wrong with you?" Dulanke asked curiously.
"I..." Mu Lan twisted the corner of her fur coat, "This is the first time I bring a man back to meet the elders..."
Dulanke: “…”
Li Chu: “…”
Lao Du said solemnly: "Miss Mulan, you are overthinking it. Nowadays, marriage can be a business. But business can never be a marriage."
"Humph, you're the only one with a big mouth."
Mu Lan glared at Lao Du, turned around and led the way.
…
Gurgle, gurgle.
As soon as the water in the pond began to boil, a figure leaped out nimbly and then walked close to the ground.
The dog is sneaky.
"cough."
A light cough.
Before the Medicine Master Demon left the pond, the Bone Demon and the Formless Demon had already surrounded him.
"hey-hey."
Before he even opened his mouth, Medicine Master Demon grinned, "Don't scold me yet, you will never guess what happened."
"What happened? Your mother lives in the spring? And she asked you to go home often to visit her?" Wuxiangmo said sarcastically.
"No..." Yaoshimo scratched his head, "Water has a source, trees have roots, and there is a reason why I got zero and four."
"hehe."
The Bone Demon and the Formless Demon both hugged their shoulders with sneers on their faces.
"That Fuhuang demon body...that's just a traitor!" the Medicine Master Demon shouted again.
"hehe."
The Bone Demon and the Formless Demon continued to sneer.
"Really!" Yaoshi Mo said, "I was the first person he saw after his resurrection, but he betrayed me for that little Taoist priest!"
"Another little Taoist priest?" Wuxiangmo frowned.
"Yes." Yaoshi Mo analyzed seriously: "He might have been instructed by Li Maoqing to go to Fuhuang Tomb, and he just happened to run into me."
"And then you were killed by another sword?" asked the Bone Demon.
"No." Yaoshi Mo smiled proudly, "I am standing on Fuhuang Mo's shoulders, how dare he draw his sword against me?"
"Then how did you die?"
“Didn’t I tell you that Fuhuang Demon Body is a traitor? I asked him to kill the little Taoist priest, but he slapped me to death.” Yaoshi Demon spread his hands, “I couldn’t withstand his sword or his palm…
"But you can't blame me, right?"
"With the loss of Fuhuang's demon body, the Luxian City's plan of arrival has been interrupted. If we don't blame you, then why do we blame us?" Wuxiang Demon said.
"Haven't I been explaining this?" Yao Shi Mo looked terrified, "Are you guys listening?"
"You can explain it, but you still have to take the blame." The Bone Demon said seriously.
"Hey, even if someone is to blame... it should be that little Taoist priest. He has been stalking me and I am helpless." The Medicine Master Demon was so angry that his hands were shaking.
"Is this the reason why you got zero and four?" The Wuxiang Demon showed no sympathy.
"Zero and four, you still have the nerve to shout?"
"You have zero and four..."
The Medicine Demon looked at his companions who were speaking foul language, and wished he had a great magical power to block out everything the two people were saying.
Especially for someone like Wu Xiang Mo who has a foul mouth, he should only be allowed to say five sentences a day! ...
Gaoqiao Cave.
It is a tribe living in the mountains of the southern wilderness. Both men and women in the tribe are brave and good at fighting, especially known for their expertise in mountain and forest battles.
Among the 72 cave barbarians, they are relatively powerful and have more contact with the Heluo Dynasty. Some time ago, they fought with another cave barbarian tribe, and Qin Zhenghu suddenly sent troops, which made Gaoqiao Cave extremely nervous and entered a wartime state.
Mulan introduced enthusiastically:
"Master Xiao Li, this mountain is where our Gaoqiao people live, so it is called 'Qiao Mountain'."
"Yeah." Li Chu nodded, "It sounds healthy."
Mu Lan pointed to one of the peaks and said, "This peak is our largest settlement, called 'Qiao Peak'."
"It's a very domineering name." Li Chu nodded again.
Looking at this time, Qiaoshan Mountain was flat and there was no sign of habitation at all.
But Li Chu scanned with his mind and felt that every towering tree here seemed to have an oppressive aura. He didn't know whether they lived in the trees or were lying in ambush here.
"Elder Shichen!" Mu Lan walked through the dense forest and came to an open space, calling out affectionately.
There was no one in the center of the clearing, only an old tree with an extremely dense crown.
After Mu Lan arrived, the old tree suddenly transformed into an old man with white hair and linen and brown clothes.
Li Chu's eyes lit up.
No wonder they say that masters are among the common people. This is not an ordinary trick. His mind-eye technique just scanned it and did not notice anything wrong with the "qi" of this tree. The magical power displayed by this elder is clearly an extremely high-level transformation technique! Even among the twelve immortal sects, there are very few people who can master such a transformation.
"Mulan'er, you're finally back."
Elder Shichen looked at Mulan with concern. "During the turmoil in the deserted mountain, thousands of ghosts fled, and our candidates for the Holy Son of Gaoqiao Cave also suffered heavy losses. Including you, only three people returned. I thought you were also..."
"ah……"
Mu Lan's eyes also dimmed.
The turmoil was so serious this time that those who were able to escape should have returned long ago. If they haven't returned yet, there is not much hope. The loss of six of the nine candidates for the Son of God is indeed a rare and significant loss.
"Don't be too sad. Life and death are determined by fate. They just returned to the embrace of the mountains." Elder Shi Chen said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Take out the blood demon crystals you collected first."
"Um."
Mu Lan handed over a small cloth bag from his waist. Elder Shichen took it and his expression changed.
"Oh, what a harvest." He opened the cloth bag with sharp eyes, and saw countless scattered blood demon crystals in it. He immediately felt like he had found a treasure.
"I haven't gained as much as you have in the past decade! It seems that you are the only one who can be the Holy Son of Gao Qiao this year!"
"Yeah! Holy Son Gao Qiao!"
A few children jumped out of the woods nearby, jumping and skipping. It seemed that Mu Lan was very much loved by them.
"Holy Son Gaoqiao! Holy Son Gaoqiao!"
Surrounded by the crowd, Mu Lan blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
"We're just getting started..."
She led Li Chu and Du Lanke over.
"I was able to get out this time thanks to the help of Taoist Xiao Li and Taoist Du. In addition... they also want to talk to us about the Blood Demon Crystal."
"Oh?" Elder Shichen looked at the two of them.
Dulanke then spread out his bag and showed it to the outside.
The pile of blood demon crystals sparkled brightly, even more spectacular than when Mu Lan saw it in the forest, especially when a few pieces bigger than fists were added later, which was really eye-catching! "Ah..."
Although Elder Shichen was old, he had never seen such a scene in his life. His hand trembled, and Mulan's small bag of blood magic crystals fell to the ground, and the blood magic crystals inside scattered.
But it doesn’t matter, they are all broken diamonds.
Elder Shichen looked at the pile of blood demon crystals in surprise, then raised his hand tremblingly and looked at Li Chu.
"The source of the unrest in the mountain... could it be you?"
…
It took a long time.
In a rough but warm tree house, Li Chu and Du Lanke sat quietly at the table.
Opposite him was Elder Shichen, and behind him stood a large group of young and old men. Probably all the important people in the Gaoqiao clan had come.
But he still seemed a little lacking in confidence.
After all, Mu Lan had just told them about what happened in the Horror Valley. This man single-handedly killed the legendary Terror Eater King. Although he was not the source of the unrest in the mountains, it was very likely that he had driven them away.
Although he looks very young, it is no problem to call him a great man.
The older you get, the wiser it is. It only took Elder Shichen half an hour to control his trembling hands and eyes.
It’s just that the face of this little Taoist priest and the pile of blood demon crystals next to him... complement each other, and it’s hard to tell which one is more dazzling.
"Master Xiao Li..."
Elder Shichen still spoke with difficulty.
"First of all, I would like to thank you for helping our Gaoqiao people. If it weren't for you, Mulan'er might not have come back this time."
"It's a matter of course, no need to say more." Li Chu smiled.
"As for these blood demon crystals... we are also willing to trade with you." Elder Shichen continued, "But you may not understand the role of this thing in our Gaoqiao tribe..."
Li Chu nodded slightly, indicating that he could speak.
"This thing is the demonic energy that overflowed from the mountain. It condensed inside the ghost's body and eventually formed a crystal of power. In essence, it is actually a combination of the power of demons and ghosts, and it has considerable negative effects."
Elder Shi Chen said slowly: "We sent warriors from our tribe to the Horror Valley to retrieve the blood demon crystals, and then transformed the power in them into the power of inheritance and injected them into their bodies. Because these blood demon crystals were hunted by him, he can bear the backlash of the power in them. But there will be an impact after all. Warriors who are injected with the power of inheritance will generally become more cruel and indifferent. This is also the price that must be paid for the strength of the tribe."
"But for someone like Mulan, her blood demon crystal was exchanged with you... She may not be able to bear so much power and will be backlashed... There was such an example in our tribe in the early years. At that time, our ancestors did not understand this characteristic and gathered the strength of the entire tribe to create the strongest warrior. The end result was that the warrior lost his mind while gaining super power... and became crazy."
"The process of going into the mountains to hunt for blood demon crystals is both a test and a training for them. Compared to the result, the process is also very important."
"So that's how it is." Li Chu finally understood.
"So..." Elder Shichen said, "The large amount of blood demon crystals you brought are still extremely precious to us. But... no one can carry so much, and we can't inject the power of inheritance into everyone in the tribe. We can only keep them here to be injected into the warriors every year, but the warriors every year have to enter the Uncanny Valley to hunt for them themselves..."
"So... it's pretty tasteless."
"Oh?" Li Chu raised his eyebrows.
"Especially since you want to trade in gold and silver..." Elder Shichen added, "In fact, most of the tribes in Tiannan trade with each other. There is not much gold and silver in Gaoqiao Cave, and we cannot afford your request at all."
Li Chu looked at Elder Shi Chen and felt that he could not see through the old guy's heart. He didn't know whether he was deliberately lowering the price or telling the truth, or both.
But it doesn't matter.
He directly used the most powerful negotiation tactic.
"In that case..."
Li Chu gave him a look, and Lao Du immediately started rolling up the package with swift hands and feet.
"Then we won't bother you any more. Let's go out and look for another buyer. I believe this kind of crystal stone that contains powerful power will also have a certain market in Jiangnan."
Seeing the master and disciple getting up to leave, Elder Shichen immediately reached out to stop them.
“Eh——”
"Master Xiao Li, please don't be impatient... I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Elder, are you still interested?" Li Chu sat down again.
"Yes." Elder Shichen smiled. "Just now I just said that if you want to trade with gold and silver, our entire tribe will work for you for 20 years and still not be able to raise the amount you want. But... we can trade with you with other things."
"Oh?" Li Chu blinked, "What is it?"
"It is the most precious thing in our Gaoqiao Cave..."
Elder Shichen raised a finger.
"A magic technique!"
Thanks to "s1ckz" for becoming the leader of this book.
In addition, brother “Gentle Eleven Knives” also became the leader today. I will thank him in the title of the next chapter.
This is the first time that there are two leaders in one day. I hope this growth rate can be maintained until the New Year.
