Chapter 24: Lin Ruoxue's Request
Looking at the girl in front of him, Zi Teng didn't say what he wanted to say after all.
Just kidding, the identity gap is too big, how can the second lady of a dignified top family take a fancy to herself, if the words of admiration are really spoken, it won't make people laugh off their mouths full of silver teeth, and then treat themselves as toads?
This is what Zi Teng thinks in his heart, before his strength is strong, he will never show the slightest in front of Lin Ruoxue.
Self-esteem, Zi Teng takes it very seriously.
At this time, Lin Ruoxue was still in shock, not fully recovered, and her eyes were flashing with brilliance when she looked at Ziteng.
In fact, not only Lin Ruoxue, but even Uncle Nan's heart has been beating wildly, because this magic crystal is too important to their Lin family.
The physique of a cultivator, in addition to the attributes of the five elements, also has attributes such as ice, thunder, and wind, and the Lin family's direct lineage is all ice attributes.
However, in the entire Demon Soul Continent, ice-attribute demonic beasts are extremely rare, and ice-attribute demonic beasts can only be found in the extreme north, but for the human race who are now hiding in the hidden realm, it is unrealistic to want to go to the extreme north, not to mention the extreme distance, even the countless demons and demonic beasts do not allow the human race to walk on the continent at will.
The Lin family had sent a large number of strong people to secretly go to the mainland to find ice attribute cultivation resources, either magic crystals, or heavenly treasures, but how many years have passed, and no one has ever returned, which makes the Lin family can only rely on pills to improve their cultivation.
However, in the dungeon, there are not many alchemists, and those high-level alchemists are even rarer, even if it is the Lin family, which is in the ranks of the top families, there is only one silver alchemist and two bronze alchemists.
Such a lineup is still somewhat useful for the powerhouses in the Heavenly Soul Realm and below the Heavenly Soul Realm, but for the powerhouses in the Pan Soul Realm, it is a bit chicken.
Therefore, such a high-grade ice attribute magic crystal is even more of a treasure that the Lin family dreams of.
In the current Dongyuan Hidden Realm, only the city lords of each city, the dean of the Soul Martial Academy, and the heads of top families like the Lin family and the Duan family have reached the Pan Soul Realm, becoming the top existence of the human race at present, if they get this magic crystal, the Lin family will inevitably have a top powerhouse again, and their status will be more consolidated, and even the status of the entire Dongyuan Hidden Realm will be transcendent.
Then why did Uncle Nan suddenly change his attitude towards Ziteng?
Cherish a cultivation genius? That's pure.
In the world of cultivators, there is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests, especially for a big family like the Lin family, only interests are valued.
Zi Teng took out a magic crystal, which can be described as a carbon in the snow for the Lin family, who has always been eyed by the Duan family.
Under Uncle Nan's analysis, although Zi Teng may not necessarily tell the truth, but with his cultivation, there is indeed no more reasonable explanation for being able to get such a magic crystal, just when he hit the big luck.
However, after the two pillars of incense, Zi Teng and Lin Ruoxue were talking with each other, but Uncle Nan returned to the house and handed Zi Teng a storage ring: "Little brother, I've kept you waiting, take stock of what you want." Then, he took out a crystal card and pushed it over.
"It's ......"
When Zi Teng made sure that the contents of the ring were correct, he gently fiddled with the card, and it didn't look like a simple Demon Soul Stone storage card, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Ah, that's right. ”
Knowing that Ziteng had some doubts, Uncle Nan said with a straight face: "Little brother, the magic crystal you took out will be converted into 200 million lower-grade demon soul stones for you, and the resources you need will be given by us." ”
"What, 200 million Demon Soul Stones, and give them away?"
Hearing this, Zi Teng deliberately pretended to be shocked, as if he had never seen the world, and jumped up all of a sudden, he didn't want people to see that he didn't take this thing seriously.
"Hehe, little brother, don't get excited, don't get excited, I haven't finished talking yet. ”
Seeing that Zi Teng was so excited, Uncle Nan's heart became more confident, and he pointed to the card in Zi Teng's hand and said with a smile: "This is my Baohua Building's Supreme Crystal Diamond Card, which contains the little brother's 200 million demon soul stones, as long as the one-time cash withdrawal does not exceed 10 million, it can be used at any time." ”
"In addition, with this card, the little brother can not only enjoy a 20% discount in Baohua Building, have an independent box, give priority to participate in the auction, and also enjoy the supreme service. ”
Zi Teng didn't listen to other benefits, only the supreme-level service aroused Zi Teng's interest, and he couldn't help lowering his voice and asked curiously: "Is the supreme-level service good, what's there?"
"Uh......"
Uncle Nan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he understood, could it be that this kid is a fellow practitioner? So he whispered with a treacherous face: "There is everything, only the unexpected, there is nothing that can't be done, what kind of service does ......the little brother want?"
"Hooligans. ”
Uncle Nan was interested just now, and he was about to say, "Even I haven't gotten on it yet", but before he finished speaking, he heard Lin Ruoxue sip coldly.
Lin Ruoxue was taken aback when she saw Uncle Nan actually take out the Supreme Crystal Diamond Card, this is the highest membership card in the family, I didn't expect Ziteng to get one, not even herself, but when I listened to it later, it was the two of them who chatted about that kind of obscene thing, so I couldn't help but interrupt.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
The two of them were chatting excitedly, but they forgot that there was a young girl on the side, and they couldn't help but cough in embarrassment.
Lin Ruoxue was so angry when she saw this, she pouted, turned her head and stopped talking, and these two obscene guys actually regarded themselves as air just now.
........................
It was getting late, and Uncle Nan personally sent Zi Teng out of Baohua Building.
"Zi Teng, please wait a minute. ”
Zi Teng was just about to turn around and leave, when he heard Lin Ruoxue's crisp voice coming, but this time it was not as cold as before.
"Oh, what's going on? Could it be that this girl is fascinated by my beauty and wants to talk to me all night and talk about life together?"
Hearing Lin Ruoxue's voice, Zi Teng's heart moved, and he turned his head lewdly, but his face was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he said very seriously: "Is there anything else to do with Ruoxue?"
"Hmm. ”
Lin Ruoxue nodded, and hurriedly followed Zi Teng, as if she had something on her mind, her little mouth just opened, but closed again, as if something was difficult to say.
"Hey, hey, is that really what I thought?"
Seeing that Lin Ruoxue wanted to speak and stopped, Zi Teng couldn't help but smile secretly, but on the surface, it didn't show it: "Miss Lin might as well say it directly." "What a humble gentleman.
The air condensed for a moment, and Lin Ruoxue seemed to have finally made a decision, and said in a very low voice: "I think, I want to ask you to do me a favor." ”
"Help?"
Hearing this, Zi Teng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, as if it was different from what he thought?
"Ah, don't worry, I won't let you help in vain. ”
Seeing that Ziteng was silent, Lin Ruoxue hurriedly said: "I will give you a certain reward, I know that you are not short of money now, but I dare to guarantee that this reward will definitely meet your wishes." ”
"Oh, I don't know what Miss Lin is talking about, if I can help, Ziteng will never refuse. ”
Lin Ruoxue swore like this, and Ziteng was also a little interested, although it was not what he thought, but he also wanted to hear what was going on.
In fact, even if Lin Ruoxue doesn't mention any remuneration, as long as Ziteng can do it, he will definitely agree, but since the remuneration is proposed, Ziteng should not be in vain.
Seeing Zi Teng nodding in agreement, Lin Ruoxue was overjoyed, and asked tentatively, "Have you heard about the secret realm trial?"
"Well, I've heard of some. Zi Teng nodded.
"That's good. ”
Lin Ruoxue also nodded, and then said: "I guess you also know that the ranking of the qualifying competition needs to be measured by the corresponding treasures, and after entering the Diling, you generally can't get anything good in the first half of the time, unless you have the Diling Soul Key to prolong the time inside."
Seeing Zi Teng nodding slightly, Lin Ruoxue continued: "However, most of those Diling Soul Keys are in the hands of families like us, and if we can enter the Diling Secret Realm, it will definitely be of great benefit to people like us who are cultivators." ”
"You mean......" Zi Teng seemed to realize.
"I can give you a Diling Soul Key and invite you to enter the secret realm together, I wonder if you are interested?"
After Lin Ruoxue finished speaking, she looked at Zi Teng with big eyes and blinked, as if she was eagerly waiting for Zi Teng's answer.
"Oh, why did Miss Lin find me?"
Zi Teng said with some curiosity: "I'm just a cultivator in the soul condensation period, the Lin family should have a lot of qualified disciples, so just give me a soul key for no reason, isn't it a loss for the Lin family?"
"You say they?"
Lin Ruoxue pursed her mouth, she didn't seem to be very happy, and said faintly: "Just them, seeing Duan Tianya one by one is like a mouse seeing a cat, with them, it's better for me to go by myself." ”
"Duan Tianya, what does this have to do with Duan Tianya?" Zi Teng became even more curious.
Seeing Zi Teng's appearance of breaking the sand pot and asking the end, Lin Ruoxue was a little helpless, thought for a while, and decided to tell Zi Teng, I don't know why, she always felt that Zi Teng was a person who could be trusted.
"There may be some things you don't know, every family qualifying match is actually a treasure hunting process, ostensibly to get a soul source jade that can smoothly fuse demon souls and increase cultivation speed, but in fact, it is to find another more important treasure. ”
Hearing this, Zi Teng couldn't help frowning, aren't these families just here to get the Soul Source Jade?
Lin Ruoxue didn't notice Zi Teng's expression, and continued to take care of herself: "It can also be said that this is not a thing, but an energy, an energy that can dissolve the seal of the demon soul, and this energy can not only dissolve the seal, but can not only be used to absorb and improve the soul power, but also the best nourishment for those high-level demon souls, it is best for nourishing the demon soul." ”
"What, you mean, it can nourish high-level demon souls?"
Hearing this, Zi Teng's heart trembled, and he was a little excited, his Nine Turns Flame Demon Demon Soul had exhausted its energy, and it was incomplete, and he needed the nourishment of this energy to recover quickly.
"Hmm. ”
Lin Ruoxue didn't doubt it, nodded and continued: "However, this energy is only suitable for our top family to use, because, like our Lin family and the Duan family, there are top-level demon souls, and this kind of demon soul is also one of our family's bloodline demon souls, but this kind of top-level demon soul is sealed, and only by that energy can it be unsealed." ”
"This time, the Duan family will also participate in the trial, and they also have a lot of soul keys in their hands, due to the relationship of cultivation, the Duan family must be led by Duan Tianya, if that energy falls into the hands of other cities, it is fine, but if it falls into the hands of the Duan family, it will bring a threat to the Lin family, which is why I invite you to enter the secret realm together. ”
After Lin Ruoxue finished speaking, she seemed to be relieved, and was silently observing Zi Teng's reaction.
"You mean, let me help you deal with Duan Tianya?"
Only then did Ziteng know Lin Ruoxue's ultimate purpose.
Lin Ruoxue hurriedly shook her head and said: "No, with Duan Tianya's character, even if he can't find that energy, he will inevitably obstruct us in every way, I just want you to help us when necessary, I think, among the people who can enter the Earth Tomb, only you have a way to stop them, there are seven of them." ”
"As for the reward I said, it is the soul source jade, even if I don't get it in the underground tomb, I can be the master and give you one, over the years, our Lin family has also accumulated a few. ”
Hearing that Lin Ruoxue took the soul source jade as a reward, Zi Teng was overjoyed, in order to alleviate Lin Ruoxue's troubles, he smiled: "You don't have to worry about their manpower problems, I don't know how many people have entered the Underground Tomb, but there are only four people who can enter the secret realm at most." ”
"Huh, how do you know?" Lin Ruoxue was stunned for a moment and said in surprise.
"Hehe, you'll know then. ”
The corners of Zi Teng's mouth curved, pretending to be mysterious, and then he struck: "However, I did get a few of the Soul Keys of the Earth Tomb, so it seems that I don't need Miss Lin's invitation!"
"Do you have the Earth Soul Key?"
When Lin Ruoxue heard this, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, he was really a little afraid that Ziteng wouldn't help her, everyone was already qualified to enter, so why should he help himself, so he gritted his teeth and increased his chips: "If you can help me this time, I can give you two soul source jades." ”
"Three, no matter how much I can't be the master. ”
Seeing that Ziteng was still unmoved, Lin Ruoxue said a number again.
"Okay, deal. ”
Hearing that Lin Ruoxue actually gave three soul source jades, Zi Teng was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately agreed that he didn't need this thing too much, but the soul source jade of Zi Ning'er, Fat Tuo, and Da Zhuang had been found.
Zi Teng's main purpose of entering the Tomb this time is also here, but he didn't expect that he had already completed the task before he entered the Tomb, this time he just went to experience it, and I heard that there were many monsters there, which happened to be close to his own strength.
The two made another appointment, briefly discussed the details, and Ziteng prepared to leave.
"Ziteng, thank you. ”
Just as Zi Teng turned around to leave, Lin Ruoxue called softly, Zi Teng turned his head to look, smiled slightly, and then left.
Looking at Zi Teng's back, a trace of tenderness appeared in Lin Ruoxue's eyes, but what moved him the most was Zi Teng's heart for Zi Ning'er.
However, she suddenly felt that Zi Teng had an indescribable mystery, and curiosity was born because of this......
