Chapter 9: The Treasure of the Store
Thinking of what Yu Jun said about the Shouyang Arena about to begin, Xu Qiuqian decided to buy more magic weapons.
The first was the Shadowmoon Blade. This magical weapon was very cost-effective, so she bought five of them in one go, spending 95 points.
Taking into account that some independent cultivators do not have that many spirit stones, I bought a few basic magic weapons. They cannot be compared with the Shadow Moon Blade, but they are much better than the Yuling Sword sold in ordinary magic weapon shops. I spent 100 points.
Since these ten magical instruments have relatively common and simple functions, Xu Qiuqian decided to sell them at the purchase price, also in order to increase the popularity of the store.
In addition, before coming to the Shouyang Arena, there will definitely be many cultivators who intend to improve their cultivation.
The higher the level of cultivation, the greater the chance of winning, so Xu Qiuqian also bought some elixirs to increase his cultivation level, spending 50 points.
After completing these, the points left are only 215.
Keeping 65 points as backup, Xu Qiuqian decided to use the remaining 150 points to buy a treasure of the store.
She had thought about it these days. Although her grocery store was just starting out, what she needed were things like Shadow Moon Blades that were not particularly expensive but were relatively rare on the market. There were a lot of such things in the Void, and she could use all her points to buy these magical weapons.
But a treasure that is the center of her store can attract more customers.
She also calculated that what she could buy with 150 points was just in a good range. First of all, she didn't have that many points. Secondly, even if she used more points to buy the store's treasure, how much would it cost?
If you order too much, people will be discouraged; if you order too little, it will not be worthy of the title of the store's treasure.
The things that can be bought with 150 points, converted into spirit stones, have a cost price of 1,500 low-grade spirit stones. But based on previous experience, 1,500 is obviously too little, and 15,000 is about right.
The figure of fifteen thousand is just right, and it is also the most suitable price within the current specifications of the store.
If it is more expensive, it may bring about fatal disaster.
Xu Qiuqian looked at things within 150 points.
What can be bought with 150 points include all kinds of elixirs, formations, weapons and talismans, as well as various materials, spiritual herbs and skills. Xu Qiuqian was overwhelmed by the choices and felt that this and that were all good, so he simply closed his eyes and selected his troops and generals.
The finger stopped, she opened her eyes, and looked at what the finger was pointing at, a magical weapon: the Three Soul Bell.
When he saw the description of the Three Soul Bell, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Three Soul Bell: Also known as the Three Ring Bell, it is a low-level Horcrux magic weapon that can grow. Its grade increases with the number of times the user uses it, his proficiency, and the addition of rare materials. It can usually be used as a wake-up bell. Listening to it can make people concentrate and calm down, and be clear-headed. After recognizing its master, it can be urged by spiritual power to affect people two levels higher than the user. After one ring, the five senses will gradually disappear, after two rings, the limbs will become stiff, and after three rings, the spirit will lose control.
Horcruxes can grow into magical instruments!
It can usually be used as a wake-up bell, that is to say, she can hang this Three Soul Bell at the door. When a guest comes in, as soon as the bell rings, she will know that the guest has arrived at the first time, and the guest can also feel that his mind is clear.
Instead of placing it on the shelf and gathering dust, customers who come into the store can often look at it and feel the usefulness of the Three Soul Bell, which will attract more customers!
But how can we prevent the Three Soul Bell from being stolen?
She thought about it and searched for the kind of formation she wanted.
Found it! This array is called the Rebound Array. Once it is activated, any attack that attempts to destroy the array will rebound to itself. There are several levels of arrays to choose from. Xu Qiuqian chose the middle level, 30 points, and no one below the Nascent Soul stage can move it.
Even if those above the Nascent Soul stage can move, they probably won’t take this Three Soul Bell seriously.
Then she searched and bought a sensor, spending 25 points.
After buying the formation plate, sensor and Three Soul Bell, Xu Qiuqian installed the formation plate above the inside of the door, embedded a medium-grade spirit stone into it, hung up the Three Soul Bell, installed the sensor, and activated the formation.
She tried to get through the door.
When she came in and went out, the Three Soul Bell would ring. When she heard the bell, she suddenly felt much more energetic and satisfied.
After doing all this, the sky gradually darkened.
She didn't know about the rumors about Hong'an Street some time ago, so she slept soundly. She didn't stay in Hong'an Street at night in the past two days. Tonight was the first time she spent the night in a store after she learned about the rumors.
But it had no effect on her. Her spiritual roots were damaged, so even if the gas got in, it would have no effect on her.
As the sky was getting darker, Xu Qiuqian closed the shop door, lay down on the soft cloud bed, and felt drowsy.
Xu Qiuqian had a dream.
She dreamed of her previous life. No one knew where the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast came from or when it appeared, but once it appeared, it wreaked havoc and destruction everywhere. The Alliance was helpless because the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast feeds on energy. The more energy it devoured, the stronger it became.
Yuanli is equivalent to spiritual power. Once the Yuanli is completely devoured by the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast, one becomes a useless person and can only wait for death.
Fortunately, they have mecha.
But there were too many Starry Sky Eclipse Beasts, and no one knew where they came from, and they could never be killed. Xu Qiuqian was also trapped in it, killing endless Starry Sky Eclipse Beasts.
"Ding-ling~"
The ringing woke Xu Qiuqian up. Xu Qiuqian opened his eyes and gasped.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Why would you dream about the past?"
He got down from the soft cloud bed, went down to the second floor, came to the door, but did not open it.
"Who?" she asked.
Who could it be late at night?
There was no response from outside.
Xu Qiuqian waited for a while, and seeing that still no one responded to her, she planned to leave.
"save……"
A hoarse, weak voice came from outside the door.
There really is someone there!
Without thinking too much, Xu Qiuqian opened the door and saw someone lying at the door.
The man's clothes were tattered and his torso was half naked. On his exposed skin, one could see wounds of varying depths and old ones, some of which seemed to have rotted away. He looked very thin and his figure did not look like that of an adult.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Qiuqian asked, but the person lying on the ground made no sound, as if he had fainted.
Glanced around.
The whole street was pitch black and I couldn't see the situation outside clearly. I could only see through the light in my own store that there was indeed dark yellow gas in the air, and it was everywhere.
She took a step forward cautiously and came into contact with the dark yellow gas. Seeing that it indeed had no effect on her, Xu Qiuqian walked towards the person lying on the ground with confidence.
She squatted down and shook the other person.
Still no movement.
Seeing this, she turned the person over and was stunned when she saw his face.
Because the half of his face facing her had already rotted, a slightly sour and fishy smell emanated from the wound. Xu Qiuqian frowned and put her hand under the other person's nostrils.
Not dead yet.
So she dragged the person inside. Fortunately, the person was very thin and she didn't have to use much strength.
After closing the door, he turned around and saw the other half of the face of the person lying flat on the ground. He was stunned.
Is it him?
