"Hey, no matter what you say, you are justified, right?" Zhang Xiaosheng was a little angry, looked around at the crowd and said:
"Come on, why should he do whatever he says? Even if I brag, it's my freedom, right? What's more, I really went there, and there was also a stone room over there, and there was a similar teleportation array. I tried it It’s coming back all at once, isn’t it?”
"Hahaha." Pei Ji laughed angrily. If it was like what Zhang Xiaosheng said, how could none of the three people in their past come back? What's more, the transmission consumes an amazing amount of money, so he said disdainfully:
"For this kind of long-distance one-way teleportation array, do you know how many spiritual stones are needed to teleport it once? It's ridiculous to do it twice!"
[Pei Ji’s reputation -1000, hostile 17000/21000]
It turns out it's from a long distance... Zhang Xiaosheng was secretly happy and didn't care at all about the reputation points that continued to drop.
Just stay away!
As long as the distance is long enough, nothing is a problem!
That's right, Zhang Xiaosheng came here to inquire about some news about the teleportation array, and then prepared to leave from the teleportation array. Otherwise, if he really stayed here as Pei Ji asked, then what would be the point of leaving the sect!
Now that we know that the teleportation distance is far, Pei Ji's hostile reputation is no longer a problem!
Seeing the suspicious looks in everyone's eyes, Zhang Xiaosheng was unhappy.
I'm here to perform very hard, and it's okay if you don't provide me with some reputation points. Instead, you start to doubt me. Don't treat the village chief as a cadre. No matter how poor we are, we are still the head of the same clan.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng took out his storage bag and took out 3,000 mid-grade spiritual stones. He quickly took them back after revealing them for a moment.
Everyone was stunned by his operation.
Someone unconsciously asked the person next to him:
"Is it a middle-grade spiritual stone?"
"Am I dazzled? It doesn't seem like a low-grade one!"
Pei Ji was even more stunned. This... so many middle-grade spiritual stones?
Is this kid really stupid or pretending to be stupid? In front of so many people, he actually took out so many spirit stones?
Aren't you afraid that others will just rob you if they are greedy?
wrong!
He did it on purpose! As long as he scatters the spirit stones and throws them out, if everyone will grab the spirit stones first, no one will pay attention to him, and he can escape quickly.
There are thousands of middle-grade spiritual stones. Even if they are divided equally, one person can still have a hundred, right?
For a foundation-building casual cultivator, although they still have a subsidy from the sect, it is far from enough!
Good idea!
He was actually willing to spend a fortune just to get a chance.
It seems that he must have big plans!
Stay steady, don't be tempted by the spirit stone, you must be alert to his every move!
Thinking of this, Pei Ji sent a message to his second uncle Pei Shihai, asking him to keep an eye on Zhang Xiaosheng's actions. There was no response for a long time, so he couldn't help but look back. He saw that his second uncle was also a little dull at this time, staring at the place where the spirit stone appeared and disappeared just now. , a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
It would be false to say that Pei Ji is not moved, but he knows that he cannot cause any commotion at this moment. If he ruins his job because of the fight for the spiritual stones, even if he grabs all the spiritual stones, he will probably lose his life!
Pei Ji is still anxiously thinking about countermeasures. It's not that he's not smart enough, it's that Zhang Xiaosheng's move is too shameless...
Zhang Xiaosheng started to show off again:
"Did you see it? Am I a liar? If we say we have been there, we have been there!"
Although everyone was a little ready to make a move, no one wanted to be the first to take the lead. After seeing Zhang Xiaosheng's ability, they naturally believed in his words.
"Everyone, calm down and don't forget your mission."
Pei Ji no longer cares about hiding. At this time, in his heart, Zhang Xiaosheng has become a turtle in the urn, and so has the man in black robe. Even if something is leaked at this time, it doesn't matter, as long as the situation can be stabilized and the person left behind Here, everything is still under control.
Everyone's expressions were a bit unnatural, it was not good to say this in front of outsiders.
"Oh? Mission?" Zhang Xiaosheng sneered in his heart, finally couldn't help but say it out, and then asked doubtfully:
"What is your mission? Is it to guard the teleportation array and prevent others from using it?"
"That's why you don't bother. Zhang Xiaosheng, if you really want to die, then don't blame me for waiting for you!"
"Hey, aren't you just interested in these spiritual stones of mine? You really think everyone is a fool. Do you want to monopolize the spiritual stones?"
If you say you don't have this idea, you are definitely lying, but Pei Ji knows what is important and what is important. For him, the task is the first priority at this time. If he can get the spiritual stone, it will naturally be great.
Everyone secretly whispered, if Zhang Xiaosheng is killed, then if Pei Ji wants to take away the spirit stone, do they want it?
If Pei Ji doesn't give it, then... should he rob it or not?
"Brother Pei Dao, your structure is too small. Where do you think my spiritual stone came from?"
Zhang Xiaosheng sighed and continued:
"Indeed, I paid for the spiritual stones that were sent there myself. After all, the master's family is pretty good. But after I passed there, the stone room over there was filled with spiritual stones. If my storage bag hadn't been too small to hold them, I wouldn't have been able to part with them. Bring back a few thousand dollars."
Everyone was in an uproar. This matter... would rather be believed than believed to be non-existent!
"That's nonsense."
Pei Ji sneered and said that all the masters were fake, and Zhang Xiaosheng was naturally the one who made up the spiritual stone. But he couldn't tell the reason in public. Should he bring Elder Zheng Ze in to testify?
Everyone talks about their own thing, and others still know how to guess what their intentions are!
But this guy's rich family is really exciting. Pei Ji was still hesitant whether to kill Zhang Xiaosheng directly or capture him alive. If he could control this person, it would not only ensure the completion of the mission, but with his methods, he would also be able to pry words out of this person's hands to see if he had anything else. Hidden spiritual stones.
The thousands of middle-grade spiritual stones now... at most, they can be divided among everyone, which can also be considered as a way to stabilize one's position.
[Pei Ji’s reputation -6000, hostile 11000/12000]
Seeing that Pei Ji's reputation dropped a lot, Zhang Xiaosheng felt nervous. He must have planned to take action and had to speed up the progress. He immediately said:
"You didn't go. How did you know there wasn't one there? Maybe the people you sent there were greedy for the spiritual stones and refused to come back, haha!"
"Nonsense, how could our people..."
Pei Ji immediately stopped mid-sentence, his expression extremely gloomy.
Everyone also looked weird. It turned out that Pei Ji and the others had already sent people there, and he and the others were still standing here stupidly!
Zhang Xiaosheng was so happy that he actually sent someone there, but he must not have come back, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.
Pei Ji secretly thought that something was not right. Other casual cultivators or other sects did not know about what they sent there. Now that the news was leaked, he was afraid that Elder Zheng would investigate afterward. He would not be able to bear the burden and walked away. He must do it as soon as possible. If you want to control this person, don’t even think about it if you don’t have a spiritual stone!
Just as he was preparing to send word to his second uncle Pei Shihai to take action together, Zhang Xiaosheng said again:
"If you don't believe me, I can go there again, but I don't have enough storage bags. Is there any fellow Taoist willing to lend me a storage bag?"
Before Pei Ji could speak, someone responded:
"What if you run away with the storage bag?"
"That's a problem." Zhang Xiaosheng frowned, seeming to be thinking about something. He quickly relaxed and said:
"Let's see, a smaller storage bag only costs 200 middle-grade spiritual stones. If any fellow Taoist is willing, I can mortgage 500 medium-grade spiritual stones. How about that?"
As soon as this statement came out, many people were a little moved.
Maybe let him try again?
Even if he runs away, a small storage bag can be exchanged for five hundred middle-grade spiritual stones. Where can I find such a cheap deal?
The reason why Zhang Xiaosheng proposed several times the mortgage price was to stimulate these people and make them excited.
Only when you make money can you have success!
"No! This guy is cunning and must have some agenda."
"Brother Pei, this is wrong." Another person said.
Zhang Xiaosheng was delighted, it was still effective!
Just listen to the man continue:
"If what he said is true, then let him help everyone get some more spiritual stones. Brother Pei, for everyone's sake, please don't worry about the inappropriate words of this little friend just now."
Immediately, his tone turned cold, he looked at Zhang Xiaosheng and said:
"If he can't retrieve the spirit stone and plays tricks on everyone like this, we can deal with this person without Brother Pei taking action."
"How could it be possible? If I really can't get it back, how can I dare to boast about it and cause public outrage?"
"What if you never come back?"
"Fellow Taoist, are you telling jokes again? If I wanted to leave, I wouldn't have come back just now. How could I still be standing here talking to you! Besides, there is just a stone chamber over there. Even if I want to run away, I have nowhere to go.”
It seems to make sense...
Of course, Zhang Xiaosheng just said this. With some information that Pei Ji accidentally leaked, how could it be the same just now and now.
At least this teleportation array can be used, and it is a long-distance one, and they have already sent people there, and they seem to be waiting to come back. This means that at least there will be no problems during the teleportation process, and that is enough!
With a slight smile, Zhang Xiaosheng continued to cheat:
"Let's see, there are about thirty of us here. I can probably get 100 middle-grade spiritual stones for each of you in one trip. If I make a few more trips, I can try to get 300 for each of you..."
Everyone's eyes became a little hot.
"500 yuan! How about it?" After Zhang Xiaosheng finished speaking, he looked at Pei Ji and said:
"But Brother Pei Dao thinks he doesn't care about this small spiritual stone, so I won't tell you any difference!"
Everyone looked at Pei Ji strangely, "Look, you are so proud, now they won't let you play anymore!"
Pei Ji subconsciously felt that something was wrong. If it was true that there was only a stone room on the opposite side as Zhang Xiaosheng said, why did the three people they sent out have all their spiritual marks dissipated.
But he could no longer stop Zhang Xiaosheng at this time, after all, he had carved a huge pie for everyone.
Five hundred middle-grade spiritual stones! It can make people forget a lot of worries!
If he blocks it, he is blocking everyone's way of making money. Blocking people's way of making money is like killing his parents!
And looking at Zhang Xiaosheng's words, could it be that everything he said was true?
While he was thinking, someone had already thrown an empty storage bag to Zhang Xiaosheng and said:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, please take care of yourself!"
Zhang Xiaosheng reached out to catch the storage bag, and then decisively threw 500 middle-grade spiritual stones to the man.
The man looked happy and quickly put it away.
Everyone else was annoyed because they were too slow in taking action. No matter whether Zhang Xiaosheng could bring back the spirit stone or not, he had already made 300 mid-level profits in this wave!
Zhang Xiaosheng clasped his fists, looked around at the crowd and said:
"Everyone, come down as you go!"
When he looked at the man in black robe, Zhang Xiaosheng said again:
"You, don't look, it's you, hand over your storage bag!"
Everyone was stunned, what kind of trouble was this?
Zhang Xiaosheng originally wanted to join forces with the man in black robe to escape, so as to have one more chance, but he no longer needed it at this time, but since he had told others, he still had to give it a try and see if the man in black robe would cooperate.
If he was really a fool, he deserved to be killed to vent his anger after he escaped.
The man in black robe raised his scarred face and glared at Zhang Xiaosheng without saying a word.
"What are you looking at? It's you, you're so arrogant! I just sent you a message and you didn't even reply to me!"
"Boy, you are looking for death!" A harsh sound like metal friction came out, making Zhang Xiaosheng's skin crawl.
"The sound is so unpleasant! You'd better stop talking!" Zhang Xiaosheng instantly condensed countless small fireballs with his hands and shot them at the man in black robes.
The man in black robe waved his hand and blocked it with a curtain of water, and then a huge wave rose up under his feet. The man in black robe walked on the wave and attacked Zhang Xiaosheng.
Zhang Xiaosheng did not show any weakness, his spiritual energy exploded, two fire clouds suddenly appeared under his feet, and he directly faced him, as if he wanted to fight the black-robed man head-on.
The scene changed too fast. Before everyone could wake up from their fantasy about the spirit stone, they suddenly realized that the two of them were already fighting. Just because they didn't reply to you?
Pei Ji was also stunned, but then he saw that the direction where the two met was the entrance of the mine. An incredible thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly reacted and shouted loudly:
"No, stop it!"
Saying that, he immediately jumped up and flew up.
But at this time, what was coming was a huge wave coming from under the fire cloud. Pei Ji had to resist it first. Everyone also realized that something was wrong, but there was a huge wave on one side and the fire cloud on the other. Although it was scattered in just an instant, But at this time, there were no traces of Zhang Xiaosheng and Zhang Xiaosheng.
"Chase!" Pei Ji originally ran forward, but in his haste, he was covered in water from the huge wave. At this time, he was extremely embarrassed, but he still jumped directly into the mine.
Only then did everyone react and jumped in one after another. Unfortunately, the entrance to the cave was only so big. By the time Pei Ji led the first few people to the bottom of the mine, the light on the teleportation array had dimmed.
Pei Ju's eyes narrowed, and for a long time he looked back at the people arriving one after another. Without saying a word, he pushed aside the people in front of him and walked out.
Everyone looked at each other, stopped talking, and followed silently.
Only the man who got the five hundred middle-grade spiritual stones had the same silence on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
…
"Huh? Two more, and they are both on the ninth floor..."
"Not bad……"
"One is assigned to Area 13, and the other..."
"We want it in District 14..."
"Lock him up first, wait until he wakes up..."
"Don't get killed like the three before. Miners with such strength are hard to find."
"What you want..."
The dizziness caused by the teleportation still lingered, and Zhang Xiaosheng vaguely heard someone saying something.
miner?
Why are you still in the mine...
Zhang Xiaosheng felt as if he was in the clouds as he was being carried up and down, feeling dizzy.
Soon, Zhang Xiaosheng completely lost consciousness and passed out.
