Chapter 18: The Embryo of the Ritual Instrument
The arrival of the monks of the Artifact Gate heralded the end of the disorder in the shantytown and the return of order.
Some laughed, others cried.
A few are happy, a few are sad.
Someone took advantage of the chaos to rob and gain great wealth.
There are also people who take advantage of the fire to loot in the chaos and die on the streets.
Of course, there are many casual cultivators who did not participate, they are the most innocent, but because they are weak, they were broken into by the red-eyed casual cultivators, so they also died.
Chen Li stood at the door, quietly listening to the laughter and laughter coming from time to time outside, feeling out of place here.
It feels like a chaotic area full of warlords in black Africa, everyone is warlike and has a kind of restlessness in their bones, but everyone has a wealth of killing skills and learns hard every day.
"Weakness is a sin, this world, it's not easy to survive!"
He turned around and closed the door, plugged in the deadbolt, drank a few sips of salt, and then picked up his sword and began to practice.
He's been delayed for a day.
……
Late at night.
Chen Li, who was practicing his sword, suddenly heard movement next door.
He couldn't help but stop.
After thinking about it, he put on his clothes and quickly opened the door.
I saw that Zhou Hong was about to enter the house, with mud and blood stains all over his body, face and feet.
"Why are you so embarrassed, Gao Daoyou?" Although Chen Li had some guesses in his heart, he couldn't help but ask out loud.
Zhou Hong was silent, turned around and said, "It's dead, buried!" Is there something wrong with you? ”
A haggard face.
"Ugh! No, please mourn. Chen Li didn't know what to say for a while.
……
Chen Li closed the door.
"Dead!"
He still clearly remembers what Gao Bo said when he walked to the crowd last night:
"Maybe I have this one chance in my life, and it's my only chance, and I don't want to give up ......"
Unfortunately, he couldn't empathize.
Although he didn't know what kind of opportunity this was, no matter what chance he had to change his fate, he wouldn't gamble with his life.
After all...... No matter how poor he was, he also thought about robbing a bank.
Chen Li shook his head, picked up the sword and continued to practice, his swordsmanship was about to advance again,
……
The next day, Chen Li woke up early.
The door next door was still closed, and he glanced at it, and then walked towards the market.
He was going to take a look at the current situation in Fang City, and by the way, he would sell the 'evil talisman' he had accumulated during this time.
The corpses on the road were long gone, only the blackened blood stains remained.
It wasn't until he arrived in Fang City that Chen Li knew that the killings in the shantytown were only at the level of 'law and order incidents', and this was the real battlefield.
There are traces of war everywhere here.
The building is ruined, with blood stains everywhere and the occasional blackened piece of flesh.
However, this does not affect the liveliness of the market in the slightest.
The monks who came today were not as many as usual, and in just one night, everyone seemed to have returned to the past, as if last night's war, last night's killing, had not happened at all.
Empty stalls?
There have been no empty stalls for a long time.
A large number of items looted last night are being sold at low prices, and the whole market is in an uproar, and the cries of selling are coming and going, as if it is a holiday.
Chen Li was a little glad that he was carrying that medium-grade spirit stone with him,
Such an opportunity is estimated to be difficult to encounter in the future.
……
"This sword is not a magic weapon, it actually needs a medium-grade spirit stone? Grab the money! A stall, Chen Li bargained.
"Although this sword is not a magic weapon, it is also a magic weapon embryo, just these twenty catties of dark iron materials, the normal price is more than one medium-grade spirit stone." The stall owner said.
"You also know that this is a normal price, how can you sell it today at a normal price? And your sword is not easy to sell, and the average casual cultivator who spends so much money to buy a magic weapon embryo will not be able to refine it.
Unless it is sold to the artifact sect, the other sect is specialized in refining weapons, but at this price, I am afraid it is worth at most fifty grade spirit stones. ”
"Then tell me the price."
"The price is sixty lower-grade spirit stones, and I guarantee that no one will buy a magic artifact embryo except me."
"It's too low, everyone take a step back, eighty!"
"Then forget it." Chen Li turned around and made a gesture to leave.
One step, two steps, three steps......
"Come back, come back...... But this price is really too low, add a little more! The stall owner said helplessly.
"It's sixty, a fixed price."
"Okay, sixty is sixty."
Chen Li was a little reluctant to hand over the medium-grade spirit stone: "Are you looking for it?" It's no problem to exchange a medium-grade spirit stone for a hundred and two lower-grade spirit stones. ”
"Alas, don't worry, it's a big loss today."
Chen Li stuffed the recovered spirit stone into his money bag and put it close to his chest.
He tried the sword in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
More than 20 pounds, I feel a little heavy, but I can barely take advantage of it.
What's more, his strength is still improving, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he can perfectly adapt to this weight.
What he was using now was just an ordinary mortal sword, not only was it lightweight, but the sword body was also a little soft, which was not suitable for the swordsmanship that Chen Li practiced in pursuit of extreme strength and speed.
Every time he practiced, he felt that the sword was too floating, and when the sword stabbed out with all his might, the entire sword body would sway violently, which affected the accuracy too much.
I didn't expect to go around today and buy such a hard sword, the key is the magic weapon embryo.
Totally great value for money.
Next, Chen Li continued to walk around the market for a while.
Almost everything in the stall today is on sale, and some are even broken. Seeing some value-added things, Chen Li couldn't help but want to buy them, but he hesitated again and again, thinking that it was not necessary, and he had to sell them, so he held back.
I really can't afford to spend any more spirit stones.
After buying the sword, there were only 45 spirit stones left in hand, and with his increasing appetite now, it was estimated that he would soon be unable to make ends meet, and he might have to use his savings to hold on to it first.
……
Returning from Fang City, Chen Li hesitated, but knocked on the door next door.
The other party's psychological state last night made him a little worried.
It was a long time before the door opened.
Zhou Hong's clothes are thin, unkempt, and her eyes are swollen like peaches, and her image is completely gone.
"Are you alright?"
"What can I do?" She sighed, her eyes were red, and she chattered: "That dead ghost, I told him not to go, told him not to go, he deviated, he never listened to what I said, and ran to the most dangerous place, in order to grab a Tsukidan, he didn't even want his life, do you think he deserves it?" ”
"Maybe this is Gao Daoyou's fate."
What can an outsider say?
Only the dead are greater.
"Yes, he is a mortal death, not yesterday, but someday. If he dies this time, someone can still collect the funeral for him, which can be regarded as burning high incense for eight lifetimes! ”
Chen Li: ......
That's not what I meant.
