Chapter 4, Frost Sword Sect
The treasure in Liu Chengyuan's hand possesses greater power than the True Fire of Crimson Flame
Yin Yuchan was taken aback
Please buy the celestial mechanism artifact for me, and have my parents reimburse the bill. They will not refuse such normal expenses.
He is hardly a senior; he is merely a novice at the second level of Qi Refinement, yet he expects a master at the ninth level of Qi Refinement to serve as a maid
Without activating the formation, it costs only ten taels of silver per hour. Once the formation is activated, the price rises to one thousand taels of silver, equivalent to one spirit stone, which is also the annual income of a cultivator at the initial stage of Qi Refinement
One spirit stone per hour
There is no need to do so
Liu Chengyuan said, kindly adding, "Remember, the farther the better"
However, I saw Yin Yuchan issuing a task
Fu Xingyun quickly said
I possess a flying sword, valued at five hundred spirit stones
At this moment, Fu Xingyun suddenly said: "Esteemed senior, the True Fire of the Great Sun, this is the first time I have heard of it. May I ask which master of weaponry refined it?"
Is the power greater than that of the Crimson Flame True Fire
He went to the Demon Slayer Institute's notary office and opened the most prestigious business suite
The safest method is to use it up directly
Liu Chengyuan said
Of course, provided that the target is hit
Yin Yuchan earnestly requested Lord Bai and Dean Xiang to take action against the demon race, seeking vengeance for the Frost Sword Sect. However, the two great cultivators hesitated to act rashly due to their uncertainty regarding the strength of this group of demons, passively waiting for reinforcements from the capital of Tiannan. Therefore, she came to the Demon Slaying Institute for assistance, hoping to find cultivators skilled in investigation and deduction to accompany them in probing the reality of the demon race, so that Lord Bai and the Heavenly Sword Institute could take action, but ...
For tens of thousands of years, the blood feud between humans and demons has persisted. If a great cultivator from Baiyu City dares to recklessly step into the territory of the Yuan Shen Demon King, their death would be in vain.
After Fang Daoyan left, Liu Chengyuan sat in the休息区, flipping through the materials.
The master of the Daqian Escort spoke, pausing for emphasis: "Moreover, eight hundred miles to the west of the Frost Sword Sect is the territory of the Black Ridge Demon King. If the demon races flee towards the Black Ridge Mountains, will the great cultivators of Baiyu City pursue them or not"
The bodyguards of the Daqian Escort Agency let out some sighs
Fang Daoyan was reminded of the plight of ordinary people and cultivators who fall into the hands of evil forces, unable to seek survival or death, and he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart
I ... ...
Upon seeing this remuneration, Liu Chengyuan was secretly taken aback
Fu Xingyun was taken aback
Yin Yuchan spoke, rising to her feet, smoothing her dress, and solemnly bowing to the inner chamber shrouded in the formation: "Yuchan wishes to take an oath at the Tianji Office of the Xuntian Academy, and earnestly requests the esteemed senior to grant her this favor"
Price
She harbors a deep-seated hatred for the demon, and if she were to learn that this object could level the mountain where the demon resides, she would undoubtedly strike it down mercilessly in Yunling
However, Fu Xingyun was somewhat skeptical
Six hundred spirit stones, a high-quality magical artifact
No matter how great the power of this object is, can it still affect areas beyond a hundred miles?
Has it been six days already
"Hundreds of miles away? The control range of an ordinary puppet talisman is only about one hundred miles..."
Liu Chengyuan glanced at him and said, "Please provide me with a copy of the task information."
Indeed, I possess a treasure that contains the Great Sun True Fire, similar to the disposable magical artifact, the Crimson Flame True Fire, but with slightly greater power. If you acquire this treasure, you need only to summon the demon to manifest, and you can activate and detonate it. At that time, the Great Sun True Fire will emerge, and the power released will scorch the heavens and boil the seas, sufficient to reduce all demons entrenched in the Frost Sword Sect to ashes.
Due to Liu Chengyuan's choice of a top-tier suite and the expenditure of a spirit stone to activate the formation, within less than ten minutes, Yin Yuchan and Fu Xingyun arrived.
However
This person hides their head and reveals their tail
In other words
I dare not, I dare not
That hydrogen bomb is not safe no matter where it is hidden
Tomorrow, I need to spend some spirit stones to invite a Celestial Mechanic to conduct an examination
It is decided.
Please wait
Fang Daoyan could not help but ask
No payment will be made without inspection
This transaction starts with thousands of spirit stones
The power should be slightly greater than that of the Purple Flame True Fire
Liu Chengyuan looked at the materials and gradually developed a bold idea
The annual salary of the Liu family's Jingzhen cultivator is merely one hundred spirit stones
five hundred miles
Such matters... please do not be too curious, at least one Golden Core realm demon... our entire Baiyu Liu family is involved, and it would not be enough to fill this pit.
Liu Chengyuan said
Yin Yuchan inquired with cupped hands from outside
Liu Chengyuan tapped the table and said, "Alright, how many spirit stones and magical artifacts do you have on you?"
This group of demon cultivators is quite numerous, and there are even demon cultivators at the Golden Core stage appearing. Otherwise, they would not have been able to destroy the Frost Sword Sect, which is protected by the Frost Sword. Before clarifying the exact number of these demon cultivators and how many of them are at the Golden Core stage, Baiyu City does not dare to act rashly
Fu Xingyun said
There is no need to go to such lengths
What are they doing here
I am curious and would like to understand.
I have mentioned that this object possesses considerable power, and it is advisable for your main bodies to be several hundred miles away at the time of activation
At present, the young master of the Frost Sword Sect...
Then purchase the medium-grade and preferably the high-grade puppet talismans, and activate them five hundred miles away
This amount of money is still far inferior compared to a True Purple Flame, let alone the more powerful True Great Sun Flame.
Following the arrangements of our seniors, we will proceed to make preparations immediately. The six hundred spirit stones and the high-quality magical artifacts will be delivered on time tomorrow
Yin Yuchan said somewhat bitterly
I will waste a spirit stone to play a joke on you
Liu Chengyuan said
High-quality ones can easily sell for seven to eight hundred spirit stones
Liu Chengyuan, who was standing nearby, inquired
I know, I will go and take a look at the documents.
Liu Chengyuan stood up
Could it be a scammer
Yin Yuchan listened, and her excited emotions calmed down instead: "My fellow cultivator must be joking. If such a treasure exists, its value would likely be no less than that of a mid-grade spiritual artifact. How could we possibly afford it?"
"Mr. Fu, there is no need to persuade me; my mind is already made up"
The Purple Flame True Fire ignites but burns only within a few miles, ensuring safety beyond ten miles
However, the remuneration is high, and the level of danger is also astonishing
Demons appeared outside Baiyu City, yet the city lord Bai Yixian and the院主 of the Tianjian Academy, Xiang Tianxiao, did not bring anyone to eliminate them
Liu Chengyuan was moved upon hearing this
In the realm of cultivation, the rat race is most severe in the low-level weapon refining and alchemy industries. The prices of magical artifacts have decreased by ninety percent compared to a thousand years ago. Nevertheless, even so, a high-quality magical artifact still requires five to six hundred spirit stones
Even more powerful than the Purple Flame True Fire
This portion is indeed somewhat meager
Let us discuss the six hundred spirit stones and the high-quality magical artifacts
Who would dare to say that Liu Chengyuan is not our young master
The room is located on the second floor, accessible from different directions, and is divided into two sections, inner and outer. It is inscribed with a formation that can isolate external sounds and scents, facilitating the concealment of the identities of those communicating.
Liu Chengyuan quickly declined in a tactful manner
This true fire is a powerful genuine fire that can only be refined by Golden Elixir cultivators who have trained their Purple Palace and are about to give birth to their primordial spirit, making the incineration of the Golden Elixir far from a mere aspiration
If it were not for a sincere negotiation, who would be willing to incur such significant expenses
Liu Chengyuan pondered for a moment and decided to choose a more understated name: "You may call me Taiyi."
Although Fang Daoyan is not a late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator, Yin Yuchan clearly is not willing to miss any opportunity and still provided him with a piece of information
There are also hundreds of solidifying and refining energy-level demons lurking around.
Could it be the Purple Flame True Fire
The demon of the Golden Core realm
Involving the trade of thousands of spirit stones, coupled with the weight of that hydrogen bomb, Liu Chengyuan did not hold back
How should I address a fellow cultivator?
Yin Yuchan's beautiful face also bore a solemn and resolute expression
No matter how much money one has, it is essential to have the life to spend it.
The people from the Tianxing Escort Agency seized the opportunity to interject: "Who dares to go?"
Alright, tomorrow morning, outside the West Gate, I will have someone transport the treasure there. You may invite the Heavenly Mechanism cultivator to inspect it, but do not disclose the origin of this item.
After activating the formation, send someone to notify Yin Yuchan for a detailed discussion, and wait quietly.
Liu Chengyuan added, "By the way, this item possesses considerable power... it can ignite the heavens and boil the seas in an instant. I suggest you detonate the puppet talisman at a height of ten miles where the demon resides, while you keep your distance to avoid being affected!"
In light of this, there were many bystanders, yet not a single one stepped forward to respond
How? Do you suspect that I am being dishonest? At that time, the celestial mechanics practitioners of the Celestial Observation Institute can verify it.
Liu Chengyuan said
I shall never retract the oath I have taken
Six hundred spirit stones, top-grade magical artifacts
Fang Daoyan, feeling helpless, could only step forward and negotiate with Yin Yuchan for a moment
It has been six days, and the people of the Frost Sword Sect... are likely to have suffered torment and perished.
In order to cope with the chaotic situation, the human and demon races have temporarily ceased hostilities, but this is limited to refraining from initiating attacks.
Yin Yuchan quickly apologized, saying: "I apologize, senior. I misspoke in the moment, and I hope you will..."
Fang Daoyan was taken aback: "Young Master, what is this..."
Fu Xingyun was taken aback: "Can an explosion at an altitude of ten miles still harm the hundreds or thousands of demons entrenched in Yunling?"
At this moment, Yin Yuchan solemnly said: "Senior, knowing that our Frost Sword Sect has been destroyed, you are willing to offer such a treasure to assist us. Your intention is likely to kill more demons and restore peace to the world, which shows your great righteousness. If you are willing to bestow this item, allowing Yuchan to avenge her mother and the sect, Yuchan is willing to serve you as a maid or a servant in gratitude for your kindness."
Yuchan
The Crimson Flame True Fire is a one-time treasure refined and compressed from the true fire of a peak-level cultivator, supplemented by the art of artifact refining. Once activated, it can unleash a blazing true fire that envelops an area of one mile, capable of severely injuring even Golden Core cultivators who are caught off guard
Liu Chengyuan's words dispelled his concerns in an instant
It is evidently the best candidate for the user
Considering that the items I intend to sell are somewhat heavy
A one-time effort for lasting results
Fu Xingyun said
He made his way through the crowd towards where Yin Yuchan and Fu Xingyun were located
We left in a hurry, and the six hundred spirit stones and the high-quality magical artifacts were all that we possessed.
Seeking experts in deduction to investigate the true nature of the human-demon situation in Yunling, two thousand miles away, regarding cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refinement and above. Once the investigation is clarified, a reward of six hundred spirit stones and a high-grade magical artifact will be offered.
Liu Chengyuan spoke as he walked towards the lounge area, where tea and pastries were being served, holding the documents in his hand
Fang Daoyan, feeling helpless, had no choice but to comply
Taiyi, my friend, I just heard the staff mention that you have a way to help me take revenge for the Frost Sword Sect
ten miles high in the sky
Senior!
The Frost Sword Sect is located one thousand nine hundred miles from Baiyu City, which is closer, but still acceptable... Due to the chaos caused by the conflict between humans and demons, there are no living beings within a radius of one thousand miles... Well, monsters do not count... Very good
It is too filled with hatred
