Chapter 32: Mutual Calculation
"Two thunder talismans. Show me the other talismans, both offensive and defensive ones." Lu Xiaotian said.
The white-haired old man followed his instructions and took out all the talismans in the shop and displayed them in front of Lu Xiaotian.
Earth Shield Talisman, Rocket Talisman, Golden Cone Talisman, Wind Blade Talisman.
Lu Xiaotian chose a few each, just enough for one hundred and ten low-grade spiritual stones.
"That's it. You can give me a price. If it works, I will give it to you right away. If it doesn't work, I will go to the next store." Lu Xiaotian took out a heavy bag of spiritual stones from his storage bag and said.
"Let's do this, one hundred and five spiritual stones, just make friends with the little brother."
The white-haired old man's eyes lit up. He has never been able to break through because of his age. At the end of Qi training, there was no hope of building a foundation, so I came to run the family's spiritual talisman business. Having stayed in the shop for more than ten years, there are only a handful of such customers. Even among the cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection stage of Qi refining, there are not many people who can produce more than a hundred spiritual stones at once. To use all the spiritual stones for consumable spiritual talismans is either because the family is extremely wealthy, or someone is a complete idiot.
Go out of the city to the Wangyue Mountains to find spiritual objects, healing elixirs, and cultivation elixirs. Return from adventures in the Wangyue Mountains to repair the recipients’ spiritual weapons and improve their spell proficiency. Requires spiritual stones.
"Just go ahead and don't need the tail at the back. It's only a hundred stones." Lu Xiaotian said.
"This, this is too little, and I can't earn much from a single piece of spiritual talisman. One hundred stones is really not enough, little brother, please add a little more." The white-haired old man said with a grimace.
"Although I gave up some profits, the advantage lies in the large quantity. I can only offer this price. You should think about it." Lu Xiaotian said with a strong attitude.
"Forget it, little brother, next time you buy magic talismans, you must come to Huaxiao." After several stalemates, the white-haired old man finally relented and said, although he gave in a little, at least this business can still make a net profit. More than 20 pieces of spiritual stones, you can't earn so much in a few days, so it's pretty good.
Unexpectedly, it actually happened. Lu Xiaotian was suddenly happy. Originally, he was planning to get a few more spiritual stones. Now I can actually save it, thanks to Luo Qing's reminder, otherwise it would be heartbreaking to spend too much spiritual stone in vain.
When we walked out of Lingfu Store, the sky in Wangyue City had darkened, but the streets were brightly lit and there were still a lot of people coming and going.
Maybe I, like many people in the city, will experience a sleepless night today. A sharp look flashed in Lu Xiaotian's eyes, and he hurried back to the inn.
After closing the door and sitting on the wooden bed, Lu Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, took out a jade box and drank the purple spirit grass inside. The vigorous spiritual energy rushed through the meridians as before. But now that he is at the second level of Qi training, his meridians and Dantian can hold much more spiritual energy than before, and the pain is much lighter than when he was at the first level of Qi training.
"Aura, haha, the aura finally appeared, but it made me suffer." In the Qingguo barrier, the spirit of the old man in black robe laughed in surprise, even though these auras were very useful to him as a qi refiner. The 110% old monster is very weak, but it is better than nothing.
"Good disciple, come out quickly, otherwise I will eat up all the spiritual energy."
"How dare you, if you eat more, you will never get a trace next time Spiritual energy." Lu Xiaotian shouted angrily across the barrier.
"Don't I want you to come out and talk to you? I've been staying in this damn place for a year. It's really boring." The old man in black robe chuckled.
"What do I have to say to you? Hurry up, I will absorb the spiritual energy and leave." Lu Xiaotian looked impatient with the old man in black robes as before. Although there is a fog shield protecting him, the fog shield can't even understand himself. Every time he traded with the old man in black robe, Lu Xiaotian would always ask the other party to go further away after swallowing the spiritual energy. So as not to look upset.
The old man in black robe didn't take it seriously and greedily ate the strands of black hair wandering in the air. The purple spirit grass gave birth to twelve strands of black hair. The old man in black robe ate six strands. He smacked his lips and said, "Okay, I'm leaving. It's your turn."
After that, the black robe finished. The old man's spirit flew away into the distance. Although there is fog in the barrier, the gloomy soul of the old man in black robe is relatively clear. Every time, he carefully observes the surrounding environment first, and only eats the spiritual energy after confirming that the old man in black robe has flown far away.
As usual, after repeated observations, Lu Xiaocai entered the barrier. However, shortly after passing through the barrier, Lu Xiaotian's pupils shrank. The occasional bulges of sand on the ground seemed abnormal, and a few lines looked like new soil that had been dug out not long ago. If he hadn't been very afraid of the old man in black robe and took every possible precaution against him, it would have been difficult to find him. Lu Xiaotian sneered in his heart, maybe the old man in black robe had some bad idea, but he was not completely unprepared.
He swallowed the black hair as usual, and when he swallowed the third black hair, there was a sudden whooshing sound. Lu Xiaotian felt a shiver in his heart. Sure enough, there was a ghost.
Whoosh, several fire curtains emerged from the ground at the same time and covered Lu Xiaotian's soul. Lu Xiaotian was shocked and did not dare to let the fire curtain cover him. He quickly stepped back to get out of the way, only to fly within a few feet. The strange laughter sounded. The spirit of the black-robed old man emerged from the ground, and another fire curtain emerged from the ground like a blazing fire wall, connecting with the previous fire curtain to form a closed space. There were raging fires all around, and Lu Xiaotian was trapped inside and it was extremely hot.
“Boy, you didn’t expect it. I worked hard for more than a year to set up this trap. I have also seen your fog mask. It needs to extract the surrounding fog to take shape. Now it is covered by my The spiritual fire is blocked. Let me see what other tricks you can use." The old man in black robe said with a ferocious face again, "I have been trapped for more than a year, and you are very proud of me. Well, now you have to teach yourself the magic method, or I will strip you of your soul and make you worse than death!"
"You are going to die anyway, even if you kill me, you will have to do it! Find a way to get out!" Lu Xiaotian thought, and the defensive fog shield that had always appeared in the past could not be formed. The fog was blocked by the spiritual fire and was blocked from the outside.
"Even if I don't kill you, you won't tell me how to get out. My lifespan is limited. If I can't get out as soon as possible, there will be no hope of reaching the foundation building stage. For me, this is more terrifying than death. . So I have no choice. You'd better not test my patience. Tell me how to get out, and I promise to let you live. Otherwise, I will definitely kill you even if you can't get out again." The old man in the robe said harshly, with an extremely firm tone.
escape! Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but ran away from afar. "It seems that you chose to experience all the pain before dying. You can't escape." The old man in black robe became angry. He didn't expect Lu Xiaotian to be so stubborn to the end. This only forced him to use the last resort. After more than a year of careful preparation, how could Lu Xiaotian be allowed to escape?
“Water Ball Technique!”
A water ball flew behind him. Lu Xiaotian was wondering why the old man in black robe used such a harmless spell. The water ball exploded. Only water will not burn the soul like a small fireball. However, the old man in black robe is cunning and cunning. He has been calculating for so long and will definitely not do anything meaningless. Since the opponent used water polo, it must have its effect.
Now that we are in a desperate situation, it is time for a showdown with this old guy. Lu Xiaotian sneered. The old man in black robe had been planning for so long and actually thought of digging a hole in the ground and then sneaking up from the hole to attack him underneath. , it’s really insidious.
"Earth Shield Talisman!"
"Thunder Spirit Talisman!"
"Fireball Talisman!"
Suddenly, an earth shield blocked Lu Xiaotian.
Bang! The water ball technique suddenly exploded and scattered into countless small water droplets, most of which hit the earth shield. Occasionally, one or two drops passed over the earth shield, fell from the air, and landed on Lu Xiaotian's soul.
A weak electric current made Lu Xiaotian's soul tremble, and his whole body felt like a slight numbness.
Sure enough, there is a ghost. The old man in black robe mixed a trace of thunder spell into the water polo technique. Although the monk in the Qi refining period can cast all the elementary spells, he can also use thunder spells, but he can combine the two spells. Such a clever fusion of these two spells, this kind of mind and control, chilled Lu Xiaotian.
If he hadn't brought the magic talisman here this time and had the earth shield to block it, no matter how careful he was, he would have fallen into the trap of the old man in black robe. Fortunately, only one or two drops landed on his soul. Apart from numbing him for a while, his movements were not affected. If a large number of water droplets hit it, the consequences will be disastrous.
When Lu Xiaotian was surprised by the old man in black robe, the old man in black robe could only describe his mood as shocked and inexplicable.
When Lu Xiaotian had just sacrificed the earth shield talisman, he felt something was wrong, and then there was a breath of lightning that hit his face. The black-robed old man was startled. There was almost no gap between the two spells, but his cultivation and adaptability were not comparable to Lu Xiaotian, a young man who had just cultivated immortality.
"Earth Wall Technique!" Out of fear of thunder spells, the old man in black robe directly used his magic power to condense a thick earth wall in front of him.
Chi Chi's wrist-thick thunder pillar hit the earth wall, causing broken earth to fly everywhere. The earthen wall was quickly broken by the more powerful thunder pillar. The black-robed old man was numb all over. If he were ready to take action, with his eleventh level of Qi training at this time, the earth wall formed by it would never be broken down so easily by a basic thunder spirit talisman. This kid Lu Xiaotian hid too deeply and was completely deceived by him before. Originally, he thought that Lu Xiaotian was just practicing on his own at this time. Except for the spiritual beast leopard, which may have obtained his shadow ants, but He didn't know any magic at all, and he couldn't bring any spiritual beasts to this mysterious space.
It’s just that the old man in black robe would never have imagined that Lu Xiaotian had not only learned spells at this time, but also prepared more than a hundred spiritual talismans for him.
Activating the talisman requires only a trace of spiritual power and does not require much preparation at all. Therefore, the old man in black robe was caught off guard.
The spirit of the old man in black robe was also numbed by the remaining thunder power. Although it was not fatal, his actions were already delayed.
boom! The fireball technique exploded not far away. The black-robed old man's earth shield was only halfway condensed before being blown apart. The soul screamed and flew backwards several feet away.
"Water Arrow Talisman!"
"Golden Spear Talisman!"
"Earth Spear Talisman"
Seeing that the sneak attack was successful, Lu Xiaotian immediately beat the drowned dog. The spiritual talismans are activated one after another.
Under the siege of many elementary magic talismans, the old man in black robe was struggling to cope and defended desperately. At the same time, he felt aggrieved. If he had the magic weapon flying sword in his hand, he could kill Lu Xiaotian with just one sword, or if he had that defense The umbrella spiritual weapon can also be safe and sound. What made the old man in black robe even more angry was that Lu Xiaotian not only used spiritual talismans to attack him, but also threw out several spiritual talismans from time to time to attack the fire curtain. The old man in black robe was immediately startled. Cage, once the fog gets in and forms a defensive fog shield, and there is an endless supply, he will completely lose hope.
