"What? Kill them all?! Who did it?"
The next day, Song Xin heard the news of the collapse of the Three Saints Cult branch.
Song Yu nodded and said expressionlessly: "No one was left alive. They were all killed and the bodies were buried outside the city. A rough count showed that hundreds of people were killed. Generals Xie and Fan came to collect their souls. I'm afraid they were afraid. Someone leaked the information, so no one was left alive.”
It was not that Song Xin had never killed someone before, but after hearing the news, he still felt a cold wind passing through his skin and asked, "Who did it?"
"It is said that it was done by the school office."
Song Xin was secretly surprised. He thought that the School Office would take revenge on the Three Saints Sect for Tang Yao's death, but he did not expect that it would come so quickly or in such a tragic way. But without Cao Cao's secret order, how could the Dian School Office go on such a killing spree. Zhao Da was transferred back from Jingzhou probably also to deal with the Three Saints Sect matter.
"Well, I understand. Even if they are destroyed, the people in the city have suffered enough from them."
Song Yu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be that simple. This is a branch. Who knows what other methods the Three Saints Sect has. I feel that the school office is in trouble this time."
Song Xin thought deeply, and couldn't help but think of that terrible black beast, and now that he was unable to deal with it. Not to mention the mysterious Holy Envoy and the senior officials of the Three Holy Sect who have never shown up. There is also the person behind the scholar. This person does have some abilities and can transform ordinary puppet-repelling talismans into clever assassins. This kind of puppet assassin is difficult to distinguish among the crowd. There were two assassins in the town, one in the dark and one in the dark, and Song Xin almost got killed.
"Tomorrow happens to be a holiday, so I will go to Fairy City to find all the materials for making puppets!" Song Xin made a decision. Now he has no sign of a breakthrough. The Jade Machine Zhenzang Jue and Xuanhuang Sword Jue are also stuck at a bottleneck. Even though he has learned the Divine Sense Technique, he has not yet had a chance to use it. I don’t know how effective it will be.
At present, the only thing that can increase his chances of winning is Xiaoyu's ghost soldiers. If they had better puppets, their combat power would be even higher!
Early the next morning, Song Xin directly asked Song Yu to pretend to be someone from the Prime Minister's Office and go to his home to report that he had something to do and could not go home. Then he summoned the horses and attached the magic talisman, and ran all the way towards Xuzhou Fairy City.
In less than two hours, Song Xin arrived at Xuzhou Fairy City. After entering the city, go straight to Jinyu Pavilion.
When the little girl at the door saw a visitor coming to the door, she came up to him with a smile and asked, "This fairy guest, what treasure are you looking for?"
Song Xin said: "Thank you, I need to find some materials for making weapons."
The little girl immediately led Song Xin to the shopkeeper of the weapon refining shop. When the old man saw Song Xin, he asked with a smile on his face: "So it's you, Xianke. I wonder what materials Xianke needs?"
Song Xin took out a few bamboo slips and handed them over. The old man glanced at them and said with a smile:
"Well, they are all valuable materials. Three hundred kilograms of hundred-refined steel, four hundred kilograms of bronze, fifty kilograms of Fierce Yang fine gold, thirty pots of water-moon mercury gold, one hundred kilograms of meteorite soil, and Twenty-one green demon pills."
The old man recited the materials silently while calculating the price, and then asked curiously: "Sir, these materials have different properties, and some of them are incompatible with each other. I am just curious, what is the use of them?"
Naturally, Song Xin would not be stupid enough to tell him that he was going to be a puppet for Xiaoyu and the others to live in. He said casually: "I have been studying weapon refining recently and need some materials.

practiced. "
The old man's brows twitched inadvertently, understanding that the other party didn't want to tell him, so he didn't ask any more questions. He continued: "The prices of these materials, including Fierce Yang Fine Gold, Water Moon Mercury Gold, Meteor Sun Earth, and Yiqi Green Demonic Pill, are quite high."
Song Xin asked: "How much, please tell me the number."
The old man made a gesture, and Song Xin was stunned when he saw it.
"Half a million?!"
Song Xin's entire possessions only amounted to more than 300,000 jade coins, and his own money was not enough. He couldn't help but frown, and thought to himself: "These materials are also recorded in the "Jade Seal Record". Except for Lieyang Fine Gold and Shuiyue Mercury Gold, which are grade 10 materials, the others are grade 11 to 15. How could it be like this? expensive?"
The old man saw that Song Xin's face was not good, and he quickly said with an apologetic smile: "To be fair to you, the price of these materials is indeed a bit high recently. It's just because it was unfortunate that you came here at the time when the weapon refining materials were in high demand. The market is tight, and our store does not have much inventory. Especially this Fierce Yang Fine Gold, which is a material with dual attributes of gold and fire that is extremely difficult to find. But don’t worry, sir, the materials sold in our store are all top-grade materials of excellent quality. They only sell for 500,000. , it’s still a bit of a loss. I think the young master is kind and he was an old customer, so I gave this price.”
"Song Xin, otherwise we don't need it. We can go to the secret realm to find the Fierce Sun Gold in the future, and we will naturally find the Demonic Pill by killing some monsters," Xiaoyu said.
Song Xin said: "Then I don't know how long it will take. I'll find some exercises to sell and get some money before I come back."
Seeing that he seemed to be in urgent need, the old man asked tentatively: "If you have a suitable forging recipe and sell it to our store, the price can be negotiated."
"It turns out that he is eyeing my forging recipe. The last time he sold his Fuxi sword forging recipe, I am afraid that the old shopkeeper either resold it or waited for a good price at auction." Song Xin thought to himself. But this person must not know about the puppet.
He had just made up his mind and was going to resell the exercises for money. I heard a lazy voice coming from behind: "Shopkeeper, are you bullying customers like this now when you are doing business in Fuxi Pavilion?"
Song Xin turned around and saw that it didn't matter. He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and was speechless for a long time. The person speaking behind him turned out to be Bao Hong.
It's really a narrow road for enemies. I never expected to meet this difficult guy here.
"You?" Song Xin didn't even notice when he came behind her.
Bao Hong chuckled, walked up to the shopkeeper and said: "Although Fierce Sun Gold is hard to find, it is not an extremely expensive material. I think your Fuxi Pavilion can save about a thousand kilograms at least. Why, look. This little brother doesn’t understand the market, so why do you just increase the price ten times to defraud him?”
"What? Ten times? Shopkeeper, is this how you do business? Do you treat old customers like this too!!?" Song Xin was unhappy when he heard this and glared at the old shopkeeper. I thought this person was kind, but I didn't expect him to be deceived like this. He didn't do this last time, because he must have felt that Zhang Moyang and Zhang Xiuyang were around, and they would definitely find out if they made random offers.
What Song Xin didn't understand even more was why Bao Hong wanted to help him.
After Bao Hong said this, he turned around and went elsewhere to choose the goods, just like an ordinary customer who yells at the injustice when he sees a profiteer cheating people.
But according to Song Xin's understanding of Bao Hong, it is absolutely impossible for him to do this.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
When the old shopkeeper saw that his price increase was exposed, his face suddenly became embarrassed.
Song Xin and Xiaoyu were both a little angry. They were almost taken advantage of and paid ten times the price to buy materials. There are really traps everywhere here.
Although the old shopkeeper was a little angry that Bao Hong had ruined his business, he was also afraid of him, so he had to swallow his anger.
It was obviously not the first time that he had been exposed. The shy and embarrassed expression slipped away smoothly and quickly before he even took three breaths on his face. He changed his face to a smile, rubbed his hands, bent down and nodded repeatedly and said:
"Sir, this is just a business deal. When I made the offer, I didn't say that you wouldn't be able to counter-offer. Why should you ruin the business relationship just because of a joke?"
"Humph, I'll buy it elsewhere. I'm afraid of you here." Song Xin was a little angry, but what he was planning in his heart was to get rid of Bao Hong as soon as possible. I always feel uneasy when I'm around him.
"He appears here, it seems he is coming for me, there can't be any trap..." Song Xin glanced at Bao Hong quietly and saw that he was concentrating on picking materials. He was about to take the opportunity to leave, but the shopkeeper seemed to have lost his eye for price at this time. He actually grabbed Song Xin's sleeve and continued to ask for a price: "Sir, how about this price?"
Song Xin saw him making a gesture of 150,000 yuan, and snorted: "No, I think it's too expensive." Song Xin no longer believed him, he just wanted to get out as soon as possible. After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving only the old shopkeeper with an embarrassed look on his face.
He came to the small street behind Jinyu Pavilion. There were some small shops here, but the business was deserted, and all the good customers were robbed by the big stores in front.
Soon after coming out, Song Xin felt someone following him behind him, and guessed it must be Bao Hong. He hurriedly turned into another street and got directly into Shanshui Lingze while Bao Hong wasn't paying attention. I changed my clothes there and put on the shape-changing charm. When he walked out of the street again, he happened to see Bao Hong walking towards him, seemingly looking for him.
When the two passed by, Bao Hong suddenly said: "Hey, wait a minute."
"What's the matter?" Song Xin paused for a moment, regained his composure, turned around and asked in a Bingzhou accent.
"Did you see a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old walking past here?" Bao Hong asked with a frown, his eyes still scanning the surroundings. Song Xin disappeared in a flash, and Bao Hong was really annoyed. In this fairy city, he did not dare to explore with his spiritual consciousness unscrupulously.
Song Xin pretended to be thinking and said, "I have indeed seen him, but he went to another street, it seems to be heading east." As he said that, he pointed a general direction to Bao Hong.
"Yeah." Bao Hong just hummed and walked in the direction Song Xin pointed.
Seeing that Bao Hong was fooled, Song Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, pay careful attention to whether there is any strange consciousness sweeping over you. He didn't dare to go back to Jinyu Pavilion, so he went to several small shops to ask for materials. However, these stores either do not have the goods or they are incomplete. In the end, after going around and around, I only found some meteorite soil and demon pills.
While walking, Song Xin saw a very inconspicuous shop on the corner of the street, with the words "Peng's Jade Shop" written on the sign. I thought about going in and trying my luck.
When I walked in, I found that the shop was very deserted. There was only an old man in his fifties, his head lowered, and he was flipping through a roll of bamboo slips. The old man heard someone coming in and looked up in surprise.
However, when Song Xin saw the old man, he was stunned.
