The old man nodded: "There are two restrictions. First, you must be introduced by an acquaintance. Second, you must pay an entry fee of ten yuan for mid-level spiritual stones. As long as these two conditions are met, you can participate in the auction." At this point, the old man said.
After a pause, he said: "Fellow Taoist, if you want to participate in the auction, I can be your introducer!"
The old man chuckled and said: "You're welcome, fellow Taoist. It's a kind of fate that you and I met. Besides, it's not a troublesome thing to be an introducer... But there is one thing. If you participate in the auction, you must prepare a big bag."
Only the pen spirit stone will do. Only in this way can we have the strength to compete for the elixirs and herbs at the auction."
"How many spiritual stones should I prepare?" Li Tianqi asked.
"It's hard to say... In short, the more, the better. You have to know that everyone who can participate in the auction has a very rich net worth. If you don't prepare a few spiritual stones, you won't be able to compete with them." The old man said.
smiled.
After listening to the old man's words, Li Tianqi's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled. He had basically spent all the spirit stones on his body, and the defective magic weapons he had collected were basically gone. If he wanted to participate in the auction, he had to find a way to get the spirit stones.
, and also need to get a large amount of spiritual stones, but where should I get the spiritual stones?
"Fellow Taoist, are you worried about the spiritual stone?" The old man smiled slightly.
"Uh... this..." Li Tianqi looked a little embarrassed.
"I have an opportunity here to get a large amount of spiritual stones. I wonder if you are willing to participate?" the old man said suddenly.
Li Tianqi raised his eyebrows: "What opportunity?"
The old man looked around and then whispered: "Robbery."
"Robbery?" Li Tianqi was stunned: "What robbery? I don't know much about it."
The old man leaned forward and said: "In a few days, I know that a caravan will pass by outside the city. I heard that the goods escorted by the caravan are very precious. If we can be robbed, we can definitely exchange for a large sum of spiritual money.
Shi, what do you think, do you want to do this deal?" No wonder the old man was so polite to Li Tianqi, and even took the initiative to get Li Tianqi to participate in the auction. It turned out that he was asking for something.
"Robbing a caravan?" Li Tianqi frowned immediately: "It should be very risky, right?"
The old man smiled: "There are definitely risks, but it's not like losing your life. As the saying goes, wealth is gained through risk. If you want to get rich, you must go through certain risks."
Li Tianqi pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the origin of this caravan?"
"The caravan is very ordinary. It is a caravan formed by mortals, but there are some cultivators who protect the caravan." The old man said.
"Cultivators?" Li Tianqi asked in a deep voice: "What are the cultivation levels of these cultivators in the team?"
"Most of them are at the Foundation Establishment stage, and there are also two monks at the Golden Core stage." The old man didn't hide anything, and told everything he knew.
"What!" Li Tianqi's expression changed: "There are also monks at the Golden Core stage!"
The old man nodded: "After my investigation, there are indeed two golden elixir stage monks hidden in the caravan."
"In this case, if we go to rob the caravan, we are simply looking for death. Any golden elixir stage monk can kill us instantly!" Li Tianqi shook his head: "I can't do this deal."
"Don't refuse in a hurry, just listen to what I have to say." The old man smiled and said, "Actually, besides you and me, there are other helpers."
"Other helpers?" Li Tianqi's heart moved.
The old man nodded: "Yes, I also invited other helpers, including my two uncles. Oh, my two uncles are both at the Golden Core stage. When the time comes, my two uncles will
Find a way to lure away the two Golden Core monks from the caravan, and then we rush out to rob. Don’t worry, I have invited a lot of helpers this time, and we will definitely succeed in one fell swoop!"
After listening to what the old man said, Li Tianqi suddenly hesitated. If he really followed what the old man said, and the two uncles of the old man led away the golden elixir monks from the caravan, and then they came to rob them, maybe they would be able to rob them.
It will really succeed.
Seeing Li Tianqi's silence, the old man knew that Li Tianqi was already a little tempted, so he continued to add fuel to the fire: "Fellow Taoist, when the matter is completed, I can give you 10,000 mid-level spiritual stones as a reward."
"Ten thousand mid-level spiritual stones?" Li Tianqi finally looked a little moved.
"Yes, if you don't believe it, I can make a contract with you." The old man said seriously.
Li Tianqi was really tempted at this time. Ten thousand mid-level spiritual stones were definitely worth the risk for Li Tianqi. After weighing it for a long time, Li Tianqi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree, but I have a condition."
"Say." The old man nodded.
"You need to pay me half of the deposit in advance." Li Tianqi said, "Only in this way will I believe in your sincerity." Li Tianqi is not stupid, and he also knows to ask for half of the deposit.
"This..." The old man was a little embarrassed: "Half of the deposit is really too much."
Li Tianqi shook his head: "I don't think it's much. I'll help you rob the caravan, but if your life is in danger, you should ask for half of the deposit in advance."
The old man pondered for a moment: "Okay, I agree!" After saying that, the old man walked into the inner room. When he came out again, there was a bulging storage bag in his hand. The old man handed the storage bag to
Li Tianqi: "Just count."
Li Tianqi opened the storage bag, and then used his consciousness to count the spiritual stones in the storage bag. After a while, Li Tianqi nodded: "The number is just right." As he spoke, Li Tianqi put the storage bag away.
"Fellow Taoist, since you accepted my deposit, you must participate in my action, otherwise..." The old man's tone was a little cold.
Li Tianqi smiled: "Don't worry, I still want the remaining five thousand mid-level spiritual stones, and I will never run away."
"That's good." The old man nodded.
"Don't know when to act?" Li Tianqi asked.
The old man stretched out three fingers and shook them: "In three days, come to my shop and I will tell you the detailed plan."
Li Tianqi nodded: "Okay, it's settled. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"I'll see you off, remember, you must come over in the morning three days later." The old man warned worriedly.
"Don't worry, I won't be late." After saying hello to the old man, Li Tianqi strode away.
After Li Tianqi's figure completely disappeared in the crowd, the old man turned around and returned to the shop. After returning to the shop, the old man closed the door and quickly walked into the back room.
The furnishings in the back room are very simple, just a wooden bed and a chair. At this time, a plump woman is sitting on the chair. This woman has an air of superiority in her movements. If you look closely,
He turned out to be a monk in the middle stage of Golden Elixir.
"Uncle Second Master, the matter has been settled." The old man saluted the woman respectfully.
"How many helpers have you recruited so far?" the woman asked calmly.
"Second Master Qi, I have already recruited sixteen helpers, all of whom are monks in the foundation building stage." The old man said hurriedly.
"Sixteen are not enough." The woman glanced at the old man.
The old man bent down: "I will continue to look for helpers and try to recruit some more helpers in the remaining three days."
"Well, you can figure it out yourself. Anyway, the more helpers you have, the better." The woman waved her hand: "Okay, if you have nothing to do, just go down."
"Yes." The old man responded and backed away from the inner room.
A glint flashed in the woman's eyes, and she said to herself: "No matter how much it costs this time, I will get the Kirin Stone."
…
Inside the inn.
Li Tianqi sat on a chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, drinking it silently.
"Was the decision I made this time right?" Li Tianqi thought secretly: "Forget it, the deposit has been collected, I can only participate in the operation. I hope this operation will go smoothly." Li Tianqi has already done it.
He planned to participate in the action of robbing the caravan. As long as the situation went wrong, he would withdraw as soon as possible and would never put himself in danger.
After taking the last sip of tea, Li Tianqi put down the cup, then turned to the bed, took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
Half an hour passed.
Li Tianqi opened his eyes and sighed slightly: "Formal meditation practice, the speed of improving your cultivation is very slow. It is far behind the speed of the seven-color flowers absorbing spiritual power to improve your cultivation. You must find a way to get a lot of
Only in this way can you go further and more smoothly on the path of cultivation."
…
Three days passed in a flash.
This morning, Li Tianqi arrived at the old man's shop on time.
Seeing Li Tianqi arriving, the old man was very happy and greeted Li Tianqi warmly into the back room.
After entering the back room, Li Tianqi was stunned. He saw that the back room was full of people. After a casual scan, he found that they were all monks in the foundation building stage. There were about twenty people. Li Tianqi nodded secretly in his heart. It seemed that the old man in the shop
He was not deceived. The old man did find a lot of helpers. Li Tianqi walked over and sat in the corner.
After waiting for a while, several more foundation-building monks came in.
At this time, the old man in the store cleared his throat: "Now that everyone has arrived, I will talk about the time and plan of the operation. I hope everyone will pay attention." At this point, the old man paused: "The operation time is tonight.
At that time, there were a total of thirty-one participants..."
"Mr. Zhu, have you made a mistake in your calculations? We obviously only have twenty-nine people here, how did we get thirty-one people?" A fat man with a fat head and big ears shouted loudly.
Li Tianqi, who was sitting in the corner, slightly raised his lips. It turns out that the old man in this shop is called Mr. Zhu. This name is really unique.
Old Mao Zhu coughed: "Big Fatty Ding, didn't I tell you, my two uncles will also participate in the operation."
