Demonic World: I Pay to Win in Cultivation

In the small red clay stove on the low table, the snow smoke charcoal was burnt to a bright red luster, and the purple sand teapot placed on the stove spewed white water vapor like smoke from the spout.

There was the sound of drizzle hitting the banana leaves outside the window. In this quiet and elegant hut, Du Kang and Chai Guiling sat opposite each other at the table, and there was a smell called Jingyi in the air.

"The guests know my name, so they seem to have come prepared!"

"Inquiring about Mr. Chai, I just don't want to be ignorant of the situation of the owner of Guiling's pawn shop. Please forgive me for coming to the old man abruptly."

"It's okay, it's okay."

After a while of customary pleasantries, Du Kang went straight to the point and expressed his intention of coming.

"Mr. is a highly respected person in Canglan City. In front of you, I will not let you down. I came here for the piece of Kunlun jade that your shop received a few days ago. I don't know what price I want for you to sell this piece of jade. thing."

At this time, the water in the teapot on the table boiled, and Chai Guiling lifted the teapot, flushed the tea leaves in the teacup in front of the two of them, and said while watching the green tea leaves floating in the boiling water.

"The guest also said just now that I am an old man. People have lived for hundreds of years, and although their cultivation base has not improved, there will always be some other gains. It can be regarded as a small sum of pension money. I opened this shop It's not for making money, just to collect some things you like."

"Mr. Chai, don't worry, the price I offered will definitely satisfy you."

Asking prices all over the sky and paying back the money on the ground, these are common routines in the business field, Du Kang thought at this moment that the other party was raising the price of his goods.

"I'm not short of money. I like that piece of Kunlun jade very much, and I have no plans to sell it. The reason why I came to meet the customer is not because I want to do business with Kunlun jade, but because my shopkeeper told me that the customer has a close relationship." Thousands of pearls and gemstones of various colors, would the guest be willing to die and give it to me?"

Du Kang called out in his heart, good guy, these words directly changed himself from a buyer to a seller, he stared at the old man's raspy old face, and asked back.

"Is the old man serious?"

"The old man never said anything false. Here are ten thousand taels of gold. They can prove my financial strength. If there is not enough money for the official transaction, I can add more money."

Chai Guiling took down a palm-sized blue conch hanging from his waist, pointed the mouth of the conch at the tatami mat, and immediately gold bars with dim golden light poured out from the mouth of the conch, piled up in a tall pile. pile.

Ten thousand taels is 500 kilograms, so much gold, before he saw the goods, he directly showed Du Kang in front of him, and told him what real wealth is.

This also means that Du Kang's plan to spend money to buy Kunlun jade has been declared bankrupt.

As for the transaction mentioned by the other party, Du Kang didn't take it to heart at all. The pearls and gems in his hands are all spiritual objects, which are materials that can be used in magic cultivation. is unwilling.

Put it back into the teapot on the stove, and there was the sound of boiling water. Du Kang looked at the old man in front of him quietly. Only then did he take a serious look at the old man's appearance.

The silver-white hair was combed back meticulously, and a pair of bright dark eyes set on a wrinkled face. It was not the appearance of the four turtle children with a turtle brain at all.

The tortoise shell on the back is not the usual green color of tortoise shell practitioners, but a black color as deep as the ocean. The exposed arms are strong and powerful. Du Kang can clearly hear the sound of a strong heart beating in his body. Proof of the robustness of this body.

The other party in Ling's eyes, the strong monster power is like a bottomless abyss, people can't see the depth.

This old man who has lived at least 600 years is not a weak hand. If he makes a move here, if the movement is too loud, it will attract the demon soldiers from the Shengbai family. If he wants to take him down by force, Du Kang only has a few chances. .

Once he failed, Du Kang had no choice but to run away from Canglan City. Before that, he wanted to make one last attempt.

"Kunlun jade is the key to my magic practice. I would like to increase the price by 30% to buy it. Does Mr. Chai really not consider this profitable business?"

"Money is not what I want, let's continue talking about the sale of pearls and gems."

Seeing that Chai Guiling was still unmoved, Du Kang picked up the teacup on the table and made a toast to Chai Guiling like a toast.

"Coincidentally, the old man and I have the same temperament. Money is not what I want, and I don't want to sell the things in my hands. It seems that today's two deals can't be done."

"It is said that a gentleman does not take away people's love. Since the business cannot be negotiated, let's make friends with the guests in today's meeting."

Chai Guiling also raised the teacup and lightly touched Du Kang who was toasting, with a smile still on his face, and he could not see a trace of unhappiness that the business was not negotiated.

boom!

There was a crisp sound of porcelain clashing from the place where the tea cups touched, but perhaps Du Kang used too much force, a little tea splashed out of the cup and wet Chai Guiling's fingertips.

Afterwards, the sound of putting down the teacup, the sound of Du Kang apologizing, and the sound of wiping the silk scarf came from the room one after another, making the two guards outside the door nervous.

After a while, the door of the hut opened with a creak, and both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Today's business can't be negotiated, it's already an interruption, the elders don't have to send it in person, the younger generation will leave first."

"The guest is really polite. You and I had a great conversation today. It's just that I don't remember things when I get old. I only remembered when we parted. I haven't asked the guest's name yet."

"Junior Lin Chun, I have bothered the elder for a long time today, and I will definitely visit again someday."

Chai Guiling came to the door of the room with a huge tortoise shell on his back to see it off in person. He stood in front of the door with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. Du Kang repeatedly refused to let him stop at the door.

Taking Qingdai slowly out of the courtyard, the moment the gate of the small courtyard was closed, Du Kang's smile suddenly turned cold.

Just now, Du Kang wanted to follow the usual practice and use the panel to find out the information about the age of Chai Gui, and then force the transaction, but the other party's hundreds of years are indeed not in vain, and the spell information displayed on the panel directly made Du Kang give up his plan to do it.

With the power possessed by the opponent, not to mention being easily taken down by Du Kang with a few tricks, even if the clone of Yazi and the Five Elements Demon Boy go into battle together and attack with all their strength, it will take a big battle to determine the winner.

As can be seen above, the Haiyuan Zhenzhen Formation mastered by Chai Guiling is an ability good at creating big scenes. Du Kang can only leave first, and think of a perfect plan after he goes back.

Du Kang led Qing Dai, and walked in the narrow alley with a heavy heart. Qing Dai behind him opened an umbrella for him to block the drizzle from the sky.

At this time, a tall and strong man turned into the alley not far away. The alley is straight and there is no fork in the road. There is only a door in the backyard of Guiling's pawnshop behind him. Seeing how he walked in without hesitation, he must be going to the pawnshop. of.

"Could you also come to buy Kunlun jade?"

Such a thought appeared in Du Kang's mind, and he couldn't help laughing at himself. The world is very big, and many things happen every day. How could such a coincidence happen to him.

The man was taken aback when he saw someone in the alley, but after frowning, he continued to walk inside.

The narrow alley is not long, and the man soon faced Du Kang head-on. Du Kang was a person who didn't want to cause trouble, so he made room for people to pass by as soon as he moved sideways. He also showed a kind smile and looked at the man. Nod lightly.

"Thank you for passing by."

The man also nodded, and after a stiff smile appeared on his indifferent face, he passed by and continued walking inward.

"Roar--"

Just at this moment, a rough and loud dragon chant resounded in Du Kang's sea of ​​consciousness, and the Yin Yulong, which had been silent since he got it, suddenly burst out a strong black dragon aura, and became violently restless.

Meeting by chance, originally it was just a chance to pass by each other, but Du Kang and Hanzi stopped at the same time, and they turned their heads to look at each other, their eyes were full of surprise and guard.

Although they haven't experienced it before, both of them are convinced that the scene just now is definitely the resonance of yin and yang fish and dragons.

Du Kang felt that his thought was wrong just now, there are such coincidences in the world, but this coincidence did not correspond to Kunlun Jade, but to the meeting of yin and yang fish and dragon in the vast sea of ​​people.

Qingdai was wary of everyone who approached Du Kang. At the moment of this accident, she thought it was Guiling's intention to see a fortune, and wanted to intercept and kill her side halfway, so she just popped out her claw blade and was about to shoot.

The man glanced at Qingdai's paws and Du Kang behind her, and quickly let out a low growl. The muscles and bones all over his body immediately squirmed and proliferated, bursting the clothes.

Yellow and black striped hair grew from the body surface, the head of a tiger head turned into a real tiger head with dragon horns, and the hands changed into a pair of ferocious tiger claws with thick pads, with sharp claws protruding from the pads It popped out, flashing a sharp cold light.

The transformation process of the middle-level expert is extremely fast. In less than one breath, the man becomes a tiger man with a height of nine feet, half human and half tiger, and blocks the narrow alleys tightly.

【Nine Laws of Transforming Dragon · Juan Law】

Looking at this image, it is clearly the monk who threw the Yin Yulong to Qingdai during the Dragon Realm Gathering, diverting the disaster to the east.

Qing Dai also recognized him, and was about to rush forward, but Du Kang put a hand on her shoulder at this moment, and said without killing intent.

"My friend, there is some misunderstanding between us. Why did you suddenly draw swords at us?"

The monk who practiced Biyan method looked at Du Kang who seemed to have no intention of doing anything, and was not sure what he wanted to do for a while.

But at first glance, this woman is a monk who has cultivated to the D level or above in the Yazi method, and there is also a man of unknown strength. step back.

It wasn't until he retreated to the back door of Guiling's pawn shop that he jumped and landed silently into the courtyard.

Seeing this scene, Du Kang took Qing Dai and quickly left the alley, merged into the crowd of people on the street, and walked towards the direction of leaving the city.

"My lord, the monk just now was the one I met in the Dragon Realm, he must have..."

"I know, he entered Chai Guiling's yard just now. Let's make a bold guess that it was Chai Guiling who ordered Xue Yingjun to steal the yin and yang ichthyosaur. As for the yin fish in my hand, I sent it to my door. Long, they will never let go, it is not convenient to do it in the city, let's go out of the city now to choose a good battlefield for the next battle."

Du Kang's heart was full of pleasure, he was worrying about how to get the Kunlun jade, now with the bait of Yin Yulong in his hand, Chai Guiling would bring it to his door by himself.

...

The backyard of Guiling Pawn Shop.

The shopkeeper, who was about to return to the shop in the front hall, couldn't help showing joy when he saw the tiger man who climbed over the wall.

"You're finally here. The story of the theft of the Yin-Yang fish and dragon has been spread everywhere by people from the Hidden Dragon Association. Some people say that you were all killed after stealing the treasure, and some people say that you didn't succeed at all. Yes, I am relieved to see that you can come back alive. Did you get the things?"

"Let's not talk about this first, who are the man and woman who came out of the yard just now?"

Hu Xin stared intently at the low wall in the backyard of the pawn shop, as if worried that the two men would come in.

"Two customers who came to buy things, don't worry, those two people don't know anything."

"I want to see your boss, there is something very important, and I want to tell him immediately."

...

After a while, it was still the same hut where Du Kang stopped just now, and the same tea table, the difference was that the people who were drinking had become Chai Guiling and the tiger-headed man who had turned back into a human form.

"I understand. You only got one piece of Yang Yulong in the Dragon Realm, and the remaining piece of Yin Yulong fell into the hands of the man who just went out by chance."

Chai Guiling took a sip of hot tea without haste, sighed and said.

The man sitting opposite took out from his bosom a pure white jade, dotted with black fish eyes, and a gou jade with dragon scale patterns all over it, looking at the gold bars piled up on the tatami.

"This is the piece I got. According to the agreement, you will give us ten thousand taels of gold when we get the complete yin-yang fish dragon. I got half of it after a dozen brothers died. Please pay me half of the agreed reward." Bar."

"Anything can only be sold when it is complete. I said that a complete Yin-Yang fish and dragon can be exchanged for 10,000 taels of gold, but half of it is only worth 3,000 taels. Give me the jade, you Take the money and leave."

"This jade was bought with the lives of a dozen of my brothers, and now you are going to break your promise. Besides, I told you the whereabouts of the other half of the jade. You know that man. With your strength, as long as you take the jade back, you will be fine." That's fine, why should I ruin my reputation as a Guiling layman just because of two thousand taels of gold."

The brawny man hated secretly, if his dozen or so brothers were still alive, this old man would not dare to covet their hard-working money.

"Reputation? Does such a thing really exist in this world?"

Chai Guiling's voice suddenly became hoarse, as if a demon was whispering.

"If it weren't for that auction, I wouldn't want to offend Xue Yingjun, the young master of Xinglong Company, so this fat job would have fallen into the hands of petty gangsters like you."

The tortoise shell on Chai Guiling's back began to emit a strong black light, and the skin of the whole person was also dyed black by a jet of ink, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a big pitch-black tortoise.

The strong man felt that all the spiritual energy around his body was squeezed away by the thick mountain-like water spiritual energy. Under the squeeze of the rich water spiritual energy, his body was oppressed and almost unable to move.

Chai Guiling got up and walked in front of the strong man, snatched the Yang Yulong from his hand, and whispered hoarsely in his ear.

"Now the old man gives you a chance to choose, either leave with three thousand taels, or bring me back the remaining half of the jade, and I will keep my promise and give you all the ten thousand taels of gold."

The man is like an insect frozen in amber, only the eyeballs can barely move, he looks at the demon-like Chai Guiling, his heart is full of remorse, he regrets that he miscalculated the other party's strength, and is alone. See the result of falling into such a dilemma.

As for the two options mentioned by the other party, the strong man felt that neither option was reliable.

He had a faint realization in his heart that if he chose to take the money and leave now, he would be killed on the spot and save Chai Guiling the cost of hiring someone. Only by taking the initiative to test that man for him can he be successful A glimmer of hope for survival.

At this moment, the pressure on the strong man's mouth suddenly disappeared, and he spoke immediately.

"I choose the second way. I will kill that man and take the jade back."
