After locking in the number one suspect and candidate suspect of this attack, Yang Lu and Li Qingning chatted casually for a few more words, then stopped disturbing her rest and quietly waited for the rescue of Butler Zhou and Murong.
Although the killer from Tinghe Yu Pavilion is dead, the Yujihong Killing Formation is still in effect normally.
This set of formations developed by the third-party killer platform Tinghe Yuge is not very powerful, but it is extremely practical. It can not only cover up the spiritual power fluctuations within the formation that do not exceed the Qi refining period, but also pass through some kind of influence on the soul level.
, inducing mortals to subconsciously leave the coverage area of the formation, which can be called a practical formation for low-level monks to kill and steal goods.
Although the Yu Ji Hong Ji formation is mysterious and unusual, it still belongs to the category of formations during the Qi refining period. As long as the specific location of the formation is known in advance, there is no way to prevent ordinary cultivators from deliberately exploring it. Before long, Butler Zhou came to Murong
He rushed to the scene under the leadership of the police. It seemed that he knew that Li Qingning's tattered clothes were unsightly, so Murong was very considerate and brought her a brand new robe.
After seeing Li Qingning's embarrassed appearance, Butler Zhou became furious on the spot and expressed that he would severely punish those who hired murderers.
However, Tingheyuge is not an entity killer organization, but a third-party killer platform. The real boss behind the scenes is very mysterious. He has always been hidden behind the platform, and there is no specific target for revenge.
Out of caution, Yang Lu and Li Qingning did not tell him about their speculation about the identity of the killer's employer. After all, speculation is always just a guess. As long as there is no concrete evidence, Yang Lu is not sure who is the real murderer behind the scenes.
Therefore, apart from saying a few harsh words, Butler Zhou didn't know who to seek revenge from.
After it was confirmed that Li Qingning's health was fine and that he would recover after just a few days of rest, the stage that cultivators loved most was finally reached: "killing people, seizing treasures, and touching corpses."
According to the rules of Ting He Yu Pavilion, murder commissions are paid in advance. According to the tradition of cash transactions in the underworld, the killer came from other places to complete the transaction and would definitely take all the huge commissions with him.
It's a pity that the power of Li Qingning's spirit weapon transformation is too terrifying. Even the killer's body and storage bag have been wiped out with one blow. No matter how tough the banknotes used to make the spirit stone coins are, they can't withstand this kind of transcendence.
AOE attack in the Dzogchen realm during the Qi refining period.
Seeing the 40,000 spirit stone coins in cash disappear into ashes in front of him, Li Qingning was so heartbroken that he couldn't care less about the physical pain.
In order to activate the final killing move, she drained one-tenth of the spiritual energy of a medium-grade spiritual stone, which was equivalent to burning a huge sum of 20,000 yuan of spiritual stone coins. Now she no longer has the 40,000 yuan of spiritual stone coins.
Even if she wins the battle, she will still lose blood. This is not counting the trauma this battle has brought to her body and mind!
Fortunately, this time it was the Heyu Pavilion killer who made the first move. According to the rules of the Heavenly Way of Kyushu, her self-defense and counterattack did not require deduction of merit. Otherwise, all the Heavenly Way merit she earned from running a homeless shelter for three years would be lost.
Not enough either.
In fact, although the heavenly merit obtained by opening a homeless shelter is not much, it does not mean that it has been open for three consecutive years without any results.
This is mainly because the internal corruption problem of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is too serious. Yang Lu, who formerly lived in the homeless shelter of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, knows this firsthand.
The living conditions at the homeless shelter of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce are so miserable that Murong would rather work as a newsboy than live there. Of course, it's not that Li Qingning is too stingy. On the contrary, her funding for the homeless shelter is quite generous.
However, similar to other branches of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, internal corruption in homeless shelters is very serious. The bidding and procurement of food and daily necessities are full of shady practices. Not only are the transaction prices more than ten times the market price, but all goods are sold at substandard prices.
Well, you can even do something as crazy as using sawdust as flour.
This has led to many homeless people who would rather starve to death than go in and live and eat for free.
Li Qingning had suspected that there was something wrong with the homeless shelter, but every time she went to inspect it in person, these corrupt elements would always prepare actors and props in advance to fool her inspection until Yang Lu joined in.
In front of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, she thought her homeless shelter was the best in Haiya City!
In addition to all the spirit stone coins being wiped out, the Black Blood Sword, the main magic weapon of the Tingheyu Pavilion killer, was also completely useless.
The Black Blood Sword was originally a popular magic weapon. After being cut into two parts from the center by Li Qingning's spiritual soldier's full sword blow, the remaining two pieces of debris had only some raw material value.
The merit sacrificial vessel, the Oolong Flag, was also seriously damaged.
In fact, even if this merit sacrificial weapon is not damaged, it is not worth much. The reason why it is very powerful is mainly because when it is activated, it can consume the cultivator's merit to strengthen the power of the spell.
In other words, Wulong Banner itself is not powerful, what is powerful is the heavenly merit it consumes.
According to Butler Zhou, even if these two magic weapons are intact, they are worth at most more than 2,000 yuan of spirit stone coins. After being chopped to pieces by Li Qingning's spiritual soldier's saber, it would be a blessing if these two magic weapons could be sold for 200 yuan of spirit stone coins.
.
This killer was so poor that even Yang Lu despised him.
But after all, he has worked in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce for a long time, and he probably knows the wealth of the monks in the Qi Refining Period.
The average net worth of an ordinary monk in the Qi refining stage is about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan in spiritual stone coins. He usually also needs to purchase various cultivation resources such as elixirs, breakthrough materials, formation materials, talismans, etc., and uses more than 2,000 yuan worth of spiritual stone coins.
The magic weapon is already pretty good, which is why the Ting Heyu Pavilion killer would take desperate risks for the commission of 40,000 yuan of spirit stone coins.
After entrusting Li Qingning to the care of Butler Zhou and Murong, Yang Lu ran to the place where the killer died and found several objects that were not completely destroyed, including the standard spiritual stone that had not been completely used up.
According to the legal provisions of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, 1 standard Lingshi can be exchanged for 10,000 Yuan Lingshi coins, but 10,000 Yuan Lingshi coins are not allowed to be reversely exchanged for 1 standard Lingshi. This shows that the currency system of the Kyushu cultivation world has
It is no longer a spiritual stone-based system, but a credit-based system.
However, since the credit foundation of Lingshi Coin is backed by the equity of seven giant Lingshi veins controlled by the seven major sects of Kyushu, and the currency issuance of the Lingshi Reserve Bank is very restrained, the purchasing power of Lingshi Coin is generally very strong, and
There are no signs of vicious depreciation.
According to the current market price, a standard spiritual stone full of spiritual energy is equivalent to approximately 12,000 yuan spiritual stone coins.
Yang Lu has learned how to identify the quality of spirit stones at the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. He can tell that the killer's standard spirit stone still has about 60% energy. With this spirit stone, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce finally recovered more than 7,000 spirit stones.
The cost of stone coins.
In addition to this standard spirit stone, he also found another intact flying sword magic weapon.
After appraisal by Butler Zhou, the quality of this flying sword is similar to that of the Black Blood Sword, and even the material is slightly better. I heard that the killer of Heyu Pavilion did not use this flying sword to fight, and the reason is very simple——
It is the standard flying sword of the Qi-refining period disciples of the Tianshu City Mountain Eagle Sect!
Heyuge assassin is a shady profession after all. If it is exposed that a disciple of the Mountain Eagle Sect privately accepted the commission from the Heyu Pavilion, it will definitely be a shocking scandal. The Mountain Eagle Sect will never spare this scum of the sect.
I am afraid that it was precisely because of this that the killer purchased a black blood sword to hide his identity from others. It was also precisely because he did not use his most powerful magic weapon that he was cut in two by Li Qingning.
Although the flying sword itself is far less valuable than the standard spirit stone, it is an important handle for the Mountain Eagle Sect. Thinking of this, Yang Lu immediately carefully collected the flying sword.
