The Pavilion Master smiled and said: "Which acquired treasure do you want to entrust?"
Liu Minghua laughed dryly and said: "How many spiritual stones do you need to add to the later stage of pill formation?"
"If it's a seventh-level elixir, it's not much, just a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones!"
"A thousand middle-grade spiritual stones?" Liu Minghua was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that just adding two realms would require twice as many spiritual stones!
Counting the 500 mid-grade spiritual stones before, hiring someone with a seventh-level pill formation actually requires 1,500 mid-grade spiritual stones!
It took all the costs for him to barely pay the money.
When the pavilion master saw that he was silent, his smile deepened and he said meaningfully: "Actually, it doesn't matter if it's not enough to pay. There are other ways to pay."
Liu Minghua's eyebrows moved slightly and asked: "Is there any other way to pay?"
However, he vaguely felt that it might not be a good idea...
Sure enough, the pavilion master took out a piece of paper from nowhere and said: "We can sign a gambling contract."
"Bet...contract?" This was the first time Liu Minghua had heard of such a contract.
"The gambling contract is a contract that belongs exclusively to the Shadow Pavilion. It is a unique way of entrusting if the entrustment fails more than once. The content of the contract is: using the completion of this task as a bet, if someone between us can guess the content more Whoever sticks to reality will win.”
Liu Minghua sneered and said: "You will send different people and you can completely control the outcome of the gambling, so you will not lose at all, and I will pay more, right?"
The Pavilion Master smiled and shook his head, patted the other party on the shoulder, and said: "First of all, our killing standards and modes are unified and controlled by the Star Chamber of Commerce. And if you win, you only need to pay half of it after the end. Just pay the balance, if I win, then you just need to pay the original price, how about that?"
Liu Minghua didn't believe it at all. The money was beyond his control. All the family's money had been misappropriated by him. If he had to spend such a large sum of money, the family would probably be completely in debt.
He simply said: "Sorry, I need to think about it again."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
…
Qi Mingchen returned to the room, closed the door, and did not study the elixir or take any action. Instead, he lay on the bed and took a complete rest.
Even if time is still tight and he has no time to rest as his cultivation has declined, he will put everything down for the time being.
He has spent too much energy recently. For more than a month, he has experienced too many ups and downs, and several moments where his life was hanging by a thread.
This extraordinary assassination consumed the last bit of his energy. At this moment, he just wanted to lie in bed and have a good sleep.
He only slept for three hours. When he woke up, his eyes were clear and his condition had recovered a lot.
"Dong dong dong!"
The knocking on the door continued, obviously for a while.
Qi Mingchen had just recovered a little bit of energy and his mood had stabilized a lot. Facing the noisy knock on the door, he just stood up calmly and opened the door.
"Qi Mingchen!"
The person at the door looked very unfamiliar, his face was pockmarked, his lips were extra thick, and his eyes were especially unkind. As soon as he saw Qi Mingchen, he called his name in a very unkind way.
"What's the matter?"
Qi Mingchen glanced at the identity tag representing an outer disciple on the other party, and he roughly understood it in his heart, and was too lazy to spend too much thought on such a person.
"Now that you have defeated Liu Mingxiao in the competition, have you become lawless? I think you should know who can be touched and who cannot be touched!"
"Yeah?"
Qi Mingchen just looked at the other party lightly and said, "I'm very busy and don't have time to listen to your barking."
boom!
After saying that, he closed the door tightly and started to pack the things he needed for a while.
The pock-marked person outside the door was stunned for a moment, and then he yelled and cursed outside the door, spitting out all kinds of dirty and unpleasant words, which can be said to be rare in the Canglong Sect, which prides itself on being superior to others.
This kind of words that can usually be heard in the alleys of the city are obviously very abrupt when they appear here.
As long as I can remember, I grew up under the second elder's tutelage, and the senior brothers and sisters around me always showed some arrogance or indifference.
Qi Mingchen had never been baptized by such words. He endured it again and again, took a deep breath and said, "Very good."
Then he opened the door again and raised his hand.
"Snapped!"
Without the use of spiritual power, the mere use of physical power is not even enough to cause flesh wounds to people in the pill formation stage.
But this insult made the other party's face turn red instantly, and anger surged!
"You deserve to die!"
As soon as the words fell, the opponent's attack came directly.
Qi Mingchen grabbed the other man, slapped him again, and said to the people watching nearby: "Excuse me, can someone help me report it? Someone here is attacking a fellow disciple for no reason. I am about to be killed. I can't hold on anymore. I guess I have to fight back as a last resort, it would be bad if I accidentally kill someone."
His tone was calm, and the people around him didn't know for a moment whether they should follow his instructions and report it to the Punishment Pavilion.
Mazi's flushed face turned pale instantly, with fear in her eyes.
"No, don't kill me, I'm sorry, I apologize!"
Qi Mingchen was also stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the slap just now seemed to have accidentally used spiritual power...
Originally, he was not prepared to go to this level. After all, the idiot in front of him who was at the third level of pill formation was also being taken advantage of. The culprit should be the woman who disgusted him.
Li Mian!
Great, let's find help.
This time it’s the third level of pill formation, next time it’s the inner disciple!
Qi Mingchen's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He knew that there was someone who had to be treated, and she could not continue to have the opportunity to do small things.
He looked down at his hands and smiled.
After all, no one can bear to have a fly dangling in front of their eyes!
Perhaps it was because he didn't use much spiritual power just now. After a while, his pockmarked face recovered a little, and he was no longer in a state of extreme panic.
Perhaps it was because the memory of just now still remained, so the other party did not dare to stay any longer and left with a curse.
Qi Mingchen also had a better understanding of the fear that his spiritual power could bring to people.
It seems that the degree of fear brought to the opponent depends partly on the spiritual power he uses.
He only used a little bit just now, so the other party recovered quickly.
With this layer of information, he smiled and walked in one direction.
…
At night, at the foot of the sixth peak of Canglong Mountain.
Li Mian rubbed her wrists and walked down the mountain with a sigh.
She had just finished working at the fifth elder's place and was tired and hungry, but she couldn't help but smile when she thought of Qi Mingchen being disgusted by that pockmark.
"What are you laughing at?"
At this time, a nice, deep male voice sounded beside him.
"who?"
Li Mian was startled and looked over quickly, but when she saw the other person's appearance, she realized that the shock just now was nothing at all!
