The soul stone has the effect of nourishing the soul, and the sect elder is a remnant soul of the stone demon. In addition, it obstructs everything and is unwilling to exchange, so there must be something fishy in it.
Yun Que made a embarrassed expression and said:
"Disciple is really in urgent need of it. Well, as the elder said, I will replace the sword stone with a thousand spirit stones."
Now it was the sect elder who was surprised, and the old disciple next to him repeatedly waved his hands to try to dissuade Yun Que.
The value of the Sword Stone is already equivalent to that of the Soul Stone. If you add a thousand Spirit Stones, you can exchange it for two Soul Stones.
"Are you brainless? This can be changed!" The elder's big mouth curled into a circle, Zhang Xian was surprised and puzzled.
"There is no other way. Who asked me to use it urgently? The elder of the sect should take out the soul stone." Yun Que said.
The mouth on Shimen suddenly stretched into a line, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"You take the spirit stone first! A thousand dollars, no less!" The sect elder turned an army around and refused to take the spirit stone first.
Yun Que naturally didn't have that many spirit stones, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked at the door with suspicion and said:
"It seems that there is no rule about paying first in the Sword Palace Treasure House. If you take out the soul stone, if I can't afford it, you can take it back. Are you still afraid of others taking it away?"
"Of course I'm not afraid! Who dares to rob the sword palace treasure house!"
"Then ask the sect elder to bring out the soul stone."
"Take..." The sides of Shimen's big mouth dropped weakly, forming a bitter expression.
At this time, even the old disciple next to him became confused.
Ordinary sect elders would usually be indifferent to disciples who wanted to exchange things, but they were not so talkative. They would immediately take out the items they wanted to exchange, and wished they could send away the disciples who wanted to exchange things immediately.
As a result, today was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. Not only did he talk a lot, but he also tried to shirk things.
The elder of the sect seemed to have noticed the old disciple's suspicion, and his big mouth immediately returned to normal, and his voice was calm:
"Soul stone, right? Look carefully, this is the last soul stone in the treasure house."
The big mouth on the stone door opened, and a pebble-sized stone appeared inside. It was completely black and looked like there was nothing special about it, except that the luster on the surface was a little dull.
As soon as the soul stone appeared, his big mouth closed immediately, as if he was afraid of being snatched away.
Yun Que only saw it for a moment.
The old disciple next to him didn't even see clearly. Before he could rub his eyes, he had already taken it back.
From the strange behavior of the elders, Yun Que was able to determine what the other party was covering up.
The soul stone in the treasure house must have been consumed by the elder of the sect, and it is definitely not as pure as it was originally.
After putting away the soul stone, the elder of the sect became proud, raised his mouth with a gloating expression, and said:
"Now that the soul stone has appeared, it's your turn to get the spirit stone."
It doesn't believe that a sword servant can take out a thousand spirit stones. As long as it can't be taken out, the soul stone will be saved.
Yun Que originally planned to force the sect elders to hand over the things on the grounds that the spirit stones were consumed, wipe out a thousand spirit stones, and exchange them for sword stones alone.
After he saw the true appearance of the soul stone, he immediately gave up the idea of exchanging it.
It turns out that the soul stones are the ink-black stones cut from the body of the tree demon!
No wonder Zhou Yuanliang was thinking about it at that time, it was such a good thing.
There is only one piece in the sword palace treasure house, but Yun Que has a full twenty-six pieces in his pocket!
Calculated, it’s equivalent to at least 20,000 spirit stones!
I thought that losing nine high-grade flying swords would be a heavy loss during the trip to Wushan, but I didn’t expect that Yun Que made a fortune this time!
Seeing that Yun Que remained silent, the elder became even more proud and grinned:
"Why, I can't get it out? Is the cowhide broken? Isn't it shameful to see anyone? The sword servant still wants to exchange for the soul stone, just dream!"
Wow.
Yun Que grabbed a handful of jet black stones from his storage bag, sighed in front of the stone door:
"Soul stones are really expensive, and my little sword servant really can't afford them."
Regardless of the color or smell of the soul stone in Yun Que's hand, the worst one is much better than the one in the treasure house.
The big mouth on the stone door stood straight up and trembled continuously, as if it was dumbfounded after seeing some horrific scene.
If it weren't for a door, the elder of the door would probably jump up.
After pouring the soul stone into his hands, Yun Que walked away.
"Oh, don't go! Wait!"
The anxious voice of the sect elder sounded, and Yun Que had no intention of talking nonsense with it. He didn't know what was going on in the main hall, and he had to go back as soon as possible.
"We have something to discuss, little brother, don't leave in a hurry!"
"I have a lot of good things here, why don't you just change them for me!"
"Don't go! Uncle, don't go, uncle!!!"
When Yun Que left the Sword Palace Treasure House, the desolate wailing of the door elder, like metal rubbing against metal, echoed behind him.
The old disciple who was guarding the gate was shocked beyond measure.
He has been in the treasure house for many years, and the other disciples have always been extremely respectful to the sect elder. Today, it is actually the other way around, which is really unheard of.
After putting away the soul stone, Yun Que hurried back to the North Courtyard.
He could see that the soul stone had a fatal attraction for the sect elders, and he might be able to take advantage of this in the future.
In the main hall of the North Courtyard, Xue Ziyi and the three of them were sitting cross-legged on the ground, each struggling to perform the formation techniques.
The black mist was much thicker than before, and a giant ghost face was floating in the air, grinning at the three of them, as if yelling something.
After entering, Yun Que immediately closed the door.
Swish swish swish.
The three of them raised their heads and cast expectant glances at Yun Que.
"It's worth living up to your expectations."
Yun Que raised a soul stone in his hand.
Xue Ziyi and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The soul stone was in place and the magic circle could be restored to its original state.
"Junior brother, walk to the north side, leave your position, and put the soul stone into the formation eye."
Under Xue Ziyi's guidance, Yun Que placed the soul stone and then retreated to the gate.
Xue Ziyi pressed the formation skills repeatedly, and the eight haloes in the hall suddenly shone brightly, and the aura of the formation was instantly thick.
The black mist began to recede quickly and sank into the ground.
The huge grimace gradually dimmed, and its large mouth opened and closed faster and faster until it completely disappeared.
Yun Que was always observing the grimace.
For some reason, he had a strange feeling. Why did that grimace seem to be cursing someone?
Maybe ghosts also have tempers, Yun Que thought.
When the black mist completely disappeared, the eight haloes in the hall formed eight candles, and it was impossible to tell that it was a magic circle from the outside.
Xue Ziyi stood up tiredly and staggered to sit on a chair. She was very tired.
Ma Yong and Niu Bucai lay down directly on the ground, gasping for air. It was obvious that their spiritual energy was exhausted.
Yun Que helped the two of them to chairs respectively, and he sat quietly next to them.
The sword stone was not taken out immediately.
Yun Que planned to find an excuse after a while and return the sword stone to the senior sister.
Not to mention that the soul stone is too precious, in the eyes of others, he is still a sword servant with no cultivation. He can easily get the soul stone, which can easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Fortunately, Junior Brother Yun is here, otherwise we would be in trouble tonight." Ma Yong said fearfully.
"Isn't that right? Junior Brother is really prudent in doing things. He exchanged the soul stone so quickly." Niu Bucai said.
"There was no danger this time, thanks to my junior brother." Xue Ziyi softened a little, but there was still fatigue in her voice.
"It's a simple effort, just running an errand is nothing." Yun Que said with a smile.
Xue Ziyi nodded gratefully, hesitated, and said:
"Junior brother must be very curious about the grimace just now. Since you saw it, I will tell you the truth, but please do not spread it outside. This matter is related to the reputation of Beiyuan. If outsiders find out, our Beiyuan really has no hope.
"
"Sister, don't worry, junior brother will definitely keep his mouth shut." Yun Que said solemnly.
"Sister, I believe you."
Xue Ziyi took a deep breath and said with a tired and helpless expression: "This matter starts from seven years ago..."
