"Oh? Letting him go isn't out of the question, but the price..."
Xu Long's face was full of smiles, and then he kept rubbing his right thumb and forefinger together, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Hehe, is this enough? There's more if not."
Laojun waved his hand, and immediately a large pile of Mid-Grade Spirit Stone appeared out of thin air.
A rough calculation shows it's worth at least fifty yuan, far exceeding the value of the Diting).
"That's enough. It's more than enough to buy his life."
Xu Long happily put away all the Spirit Stone and turned to leave.
One shouldn't be too greedy. As long as the compensation he received was no less than the gains from killing Diting, Xu Long was willing to let Diting go.
Even out of respect for Laojun, it would be acceptable to charge less.
However, Laojun was very good at dealing with people, or perhaps he simply didn't care about these Spirit Stone and was very generous.
Laojun's purpose in coming here was to take Diting away. Now that his goal has been achieved, there's no need to continue with the rambling.
If the other person wants to talk to you, there are plenty of opportunities and ways; there's no need to rush.
"Heh, an interesting lad."
Watching Xu Long's departing figure, Laojun's lips curled into a smile.
" Laojun..."
Diting hung its head, looking dejected.
Let's talk about it when we get back.
"Wow, wow, we've made a killing this time with so many Spirit Stone!"
Seeing the large pile of Spirit Stone being collected, Powder was practically drooling with envy.
"It's alright, but you can only do this kind of thing occasionally; doing it too often will easily backfire."
Xu Long counted them; there were a total of 63 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, far exceeding the rewards from killing the Diting.
"This is a reward for you. Be a good boy and do your job well!"
I casually picked up a piece and handed it to the Powder, and the little guy was so excited he almost called me "Dad."
"Ah, so easy to please."
Watching the Powder roll around on the ground clutching the Spirit Stone, Xu Long sighed helplessly before opening the treasure chest.
[Obtained 15 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone!]
[Gained Ice Control Technique!]
Name: Ice Control Technique
Level: None
Type: Heirloom/Consumable/Other
Origin: The Legend of Luo Xiaohei
Effect:
1. Use water to melt ice, aiding in combat.
Note: Ice can take on any shape you imagine, yes, exactly what you think it will.
This is a skill book that's not really useful to Xu Long; he can sell it.
The situation has reached a stalemate.
Three of the four members of the Fengxi group have been killed, leaving only one Fengxi whose whereabouts are unknown.
The opponent was hiding too well; Xu Long couldn't find him, nor could he pursue and kill him.
However, Fengxi will not give up on his goal and will surely make a comeback.
With Fengxi's temperament, he will surely reappear even stronger.
Xu Long needed to prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard.
"But speaking of which, where am I?"
Xu Long looked around and immediately felt a headache coming on.
The boundless sea and the lonely island evoke a sense of despair.
The technological gadgets are unusable; you can only leave by taking a small the Raft.
Drifting on the sea, surrounded by water on all sides, the fear was indescribable.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Long decided to return the way he came.
He and Wuxian split up to hunt down Xuhuai and the others, but Xu Long killed all three of them himself, while Wuxian disappeared without a trace.
In the vast ocean, Wuxian stood with his Wuxian on two iron plates, his expression blank.
He pursued Xuhuai, chasing him all the way from land to the sea.
As a result, Xuhuai sank to the bottom of the sea, leaving himself unaware of his whereabouts.
"Why..."
With a helpless sigh, Wuxian decided to just pick a direction and get to land first.
Unfortunately, he was heading in the wrong direction, getting further and further away from the mainland.
Upon returning to land, Xuhuai planned to use the same tactics against Xu Long.
They would strike first, then pretend they couldn't win and flee towards the sea.
However, to my utter surprise, it wasn't a matter of whether we could win or not; it was that we simply couldn't fight.
They were completely crushed and couldn't even put up a fight.
Turning back towards the teleportation array, Xu Long planned to use it to reach land.
He doesn't know formations, but he does have Curse Speech Technique; he can still subtly change the coordinates.
"Hmm... let's go to Longyou City then..."
Stepping into the portal, Xu Long felt a blur before his eyes, followed by darkness...
"What's going on? Where have I been teleported to?"
Xu Long moved slightly and found that the surroundings were tight, as if something was blocking the way.
Using his limbs to push aside the surrounding objects, Xu Long discovered that he was actually inside the soil.
"Holy crap, I've been teleported underground?"
Xu Long cursed under his breath, and after using gravity to distinguish the top and bottom, he began to dig.
In a cemetery north of Longyou City, funeral music was playing, and several people were sobbing uncontrollably.
A funeral is being held here; dozens of people stand in two rows, silently mourning and remembering the deceased.
"Dad, why did you leave like this...?"
A beautiful woman was being helped by her husband; her makeup was ruined from crying.
" Xiaowen, don't cry. If your father saw you like this in heaven, he would be so angry that he would come out and look for you... look for you..."
The man suddenly stammered as he finished speaking, and the hand he was holding onto his wife began to tremble violently.
" Mingde, what's wrong? Huh?"
The woman named Xiaowen looked in the direction her husband was pointing, and froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
Suddenly, the flat ground bulged up, and a hand shot out.
"Ah..."
A piercing scream echoed through the sky, and several women with weaker constitutions fainted on the spot.
"This... this... Dad, it wasn't me who killed you... Even if you die with your eyes wide open, don't come looking for me..."
Mingde dragged Xiaowen along, trembling, as if he were quite frightened.
"What utter nonsense!"
After emerging from underground, Xu Long heard some strange things being said.
What father, what harm, what dying with eyes wide open?
He glanced around and saw the terror on the faces of the people there; he knew what was going on.
A funeral is being held here, and everyone is grieving. It would be strange if they weren't afraid when Xu Long emerged.
"Amitabha Buddha, well said, well said."
He used his telekinetic power to sweep around and erase the memories of these people.
This is a little trick I learned from the Immortal Muluo; it can only be used on those with low strength.
After tamping the soil down, Xu Long leaped away.
"Huh? Xiaowen fainted? Is she too heartbroken?"
Mingde was stunned for a moment, looking at his wife at his feet with a completely bewildered expression.
Everyone else had the same expression, blankly wondering what had happened.
After leaving the funeral, Xu Long randomly went into an internet cafe.
Upon returning to human society, where spiritual energy is scarce, many mechanical and technological tools can be used.
The Red Queen has infiltrated the network and begun searching for some interesting things.
The existence of fairies is known only to a few humans, and those few are powerful beings like Wuxian Nezha.
