Chapter 22: Activating the Array

"Shopkeeper Zhen, let's talk about business first, as far as you know, how many spirit stones do you need to activate this array?" Li Rong didn't want to delay time in this matter, and went straight to the point. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Shopkeeper Zhen smiled and said: "The Spirit Melting Array with the Spirit Plate as the carrier can be activated once with only a spirit stone the size of a fingernail, but in view of the number of times the Spirit Plate has to be used, Zhen thinks that a spirit stone the size of a thumb is enough, and the value is only a hundred taels of gold......

"One Hundred Taels of Gold ......" Even though he had long known that the price of spirit stones was expensive, he still hesitated slightly when he heard that Shopkeeper Zhen said that he needed one hundred taels of gold to buy spirit stones.

Although the Li family is a big clan in Jiangcheng and has strong financial resources, most of the money has to be used to buy the cultivation materials of the clan, and if this part is removed, the remaining funds are very limited, if he insists on buying spirit stones, Li Changqing will definitely pay for him, but when he returns to the clan, he will inevitably be attacked by those elders and clan elders, which Li Rong does not want to see.

Li Rong moved a lot of thoughts in an instant, and was about to give up this transaction, but suddenly heard the shopkeeper Zhen continue: "Zhen believes that Mr. Cao Mu will definitely not put a hundred taels of gold in his eyes, and my Treasure Pavilion is not short of a hundred taels of gold, as long as Mr. Cao Mu can spend a little effort on the matter that Zhen mentioned, Zhen not only does not charge you the cost of buying spirit stones, but is also willing to sell you the follow-up spirit plate at a five-percent discount!"

"Huh?" Li Rong was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "And this good thing?"

Seeing that Li Rong didn't believe it, the shopkeeper Zhen said with a solemn face: "Mr. Caomu, Zhen represents the Treasure Pavilion, and what he said will naturally not be false." ”

"Give me a spirit stone worth one hundred taels of gold for free, and sell it to me at a fifty percent discount, what good will this loss-making deal do to your Treasure Pavilion?" Li Rong asked.

"Mr. Caomu's words are wrong!" The shopkeeper Zhen shook his head and said, "Zhen just wants to connect with the formation master behind you through Mr. Zhen, if this matter is successful, the Treasure Pavilion will get far more than one hundred taels of gold." ”

"Oh, aren't you afraid that I will run away with the spirit stone?" Li Rong asked again.

The shopkeeper Zhen laughed and said: "Don't be afraid! It's done, my Treasure Pavilion has a relationship with a formation mapmaker, and if it fails, my Treasure Pavilion is nothing more than a hundred taels of gold, and the gains and losses of the two are not of an order of magnitude, Zhen is willing to gamble." ”

Seeing that the shopkeeper Zhen was so honest, Li Rong's good feeling suddenly increased, and he nodded and said: "Since this is the case, I will accept the spirit stone, I believe that the shopkeeper Zhen will not be disappointed in the future." ”

Shopkeeper Zhen's eyes lit up, and he laughed and ordered his men to take the spirit stones, add five spirit plates, and hand them over to Li Rong together, and then sent Li Rong out of the Treasure Pavilion through a special channel.

Not long after, the guy who sent Li Rong away returned to the VIP room, and seeing that the shopkeeper Zhen had not left, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Shopkeeper, do you really believe in that Mr. Caomu?"

"Believe me, Haruko, you're still too young. Shopkeeper Zhen took a sip of tea and said lightly: "There is no one in this world who is trustworthy, especially in the eyes of our businessmen, the word trust must be absolutely unacceptable, otherwise even if you have a lot of money, one day you will end up with a bleak ending of a broken family." ”

"But I ...... just now"

Xiao Chunzi was about to ask about the conversation between the shopkeeper Zhen and Li Rong just now, when a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and a coarse cloth short coat suddenly pushed the door in.

When the middle-aged man saw the shopkeeper Zhen, he stepped forward a few steps and said to the shopkeeper Zhen: "That Mr. Caomu went to the Li family after leaving the Treasure Pavilion, and ...... And it's over the wall. ”

"Oh, the Li family?" The shopkeeper Zhen's eyes burst into a burst of light, and he touched the stubble on his chin thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "It's a little interesting, it seems that this Mr. Cao Mu has something to do with the Li family, and judging from the fact that he climbed over the wall and didn't go through the main entrance, his identity in the Li family should be very sensitive, and he didn't want the Li family to detect his whereabouts." ”

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Zhen seemed to remember something, and said to the middle-aged man: "I remember that Li Changqing, the head of the Li family, is a cultivator of the eightfold Tongmai Realm, and he is only one step away from condensing the 'lifeline', you go and help me keep an eye on Li Changqing to see if he will break through to the ninth level of the Tongmai Realm in the near future." ”

"Yes!" the middle-aged man nodded and withdrew from the VIP room.

After listening to the conversation between the shopkeeper Zhen and the middle-aged man, Xiao Chunzi immediately understood that the so-called trust of the shopkeeper Zhen was to send someone to follow Mr. Caomu and grasp his whereabouts.

Li Rong returned home, ripped off the cloak on his body, and stuffed it into a cabinet casually, but took out a thumb-sized spirit stone and put it in front of him to look at it carefully.

The shape of the spirit stone is very irregular, dark green, very similar to the green jade, the difference is that the green jade is just a stone used for decoration, while the spirit stone contains surging spiritual power, which can be used for many purposes.

Li Rong held the spirit stone in the palm of his hand and tried to mobilize the spiritual power in the spirit stone, and soon, a pure and surging spiritual power seeped out of the snack and poured into the limbs through Li Rong's palm.

The feeling was wonderful, like a mischievous rat scurrying around in his body, tickling and crispy, and with this strange feeling, he found that his body had changed somewhat.

Li Rong hurriedly stopped taking spiritual power, because he found that the spiritual power that entered his body was actually sucked away by the power of Shimen, and instead became a burden on his body.

"It seems that there is really no way to cultivate without completely fusing the power of the stone gate, since this is the case, then let me try the effect of the Spirit Melting Array. ”

Li Rong took out the spirit plate that depicted the spirit melting array, pinched the spirit stone in the middle of his palm and the spirit plate, and silently communicated the formation diagram in the spirit plate, so that it could absorb the spiritual power in the spirit stone.

After a while, the array diagram in the spirit plate changed, at first a touch of green emerged from the silk thread of the spirit plate, and then a faint fluorescence emanated from the spirit plate, covering his whole body along Li Rong's palm, wrapping him in fluorescence.

Li Rong suddenly sensed that the power of the stone gate in his body was vibrating, and the vibration was mixed with the pain of collapsing flesh and blood. He didn't dare to stop the operation of the formation, and hurriedly activated the [Hades Immortal Body] and launched a fierce attack on the power of the stone gate.

"Bang bang bang!"

Li Rong's skin swelled up like an inflat, and the sound of the flesh bouncing sounded like a few loud farts.

Li Rong's eyes were closed, and the blood vessels in his skin and flesh were clearly highlighted, looking extremely hideous. His expression was unnaturally distorted, as if he was suffering immensely.

But that's just the beginning.

The expansion of his flesh continued, and his bones began to change again, cracks and spider webs crawled up the bones of Li Rong's body, and the feeling of shattering his bones almost tortured him crazy.

"Persistence! Persistence! I can feel that the power of the stone gate is merging with myself, which shows that the Spirit Melting Array is effective! As long as I persist, I will definitely succeed!" Li Rong gritted his teeth fiercely, blood splashing from the corners of his mouth, but he didn't say a word.
