Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 241 Blackmail at your door!

It's quiet at night.

In the house where Ding Chen lived, there was a "crunching, crunching" sound of gnawing.

In the darkness, it turned out to be the cat girl Liu Sisi, who was holding the spirit stone and eating it heartily.

For the half-demon Liu Sisi, the easiest way to improve her cultivation is to eat spirit stones!

Generally speaking, human cultivators must use the power of the [Spirit Extraction Formation] to absorb the energy in the "Spirit Stone" with maximum efficiency.

If the human cultivator did not choose to use the power of the [Spirit Extraction Formation] to swallow and refine the spirit stone;

If you were to refine the energy in the spirit stone by "holding the spirit stone in your hand and practicing the profound art"...

In the end, the spiritual energy he was able to successfully absorb into his body and convert into his own Xuan Qi cultivation was less than 30% of the total energy of the spirit stone.

This is a huge waste for any human cultivator!

And if a human cultivator swallowed the spirit stone raw, even if he didn't choke to death, he would die from a ruptured stomach in a matter of minutes!

but.

For Liu Sisi, who is half demon and half human, "spiritual stones" are like "cat food".

There is no need for any [Spirit Gathering Formation].

It only needs to be eaten with a crunch to achieve 100% conversion of spiritual energy!

These spirit stones were given to Liu Sisi by Ding Chen.

The quantity doesn't need to be much. Considering Liu Sisi's small body, a few hundred or a thousand pieces are enough for her to eat for a whole day!

The level of mysterious cultivation of this teacup cat girl also steadily improved.

By the way, these spirit stones were obtained from Fang Jianfeng's storage ring.

As an outer sect elder, most of the items in Fang Jianfeng's storage ring were marked with unique secret symbols.

When Fang Jianfeng met with misfortune, the murderer took over his things or traded them with others;

Those items with special marks are ironclad clues!

But no matter how rigorous and cautious Fang Jianfeng was, he would never make a mark on the spirit stone.

Because spirit stones are the "universal currency" in the world of cultivation.

If Fang Jianfeng took out the spirit stones that he had secretly marked when buying something and traded with others...

He will definitely be regarded as a "robber cultivator" who specializes in robbing cultivators for their money and killing them!

You come to buy my things, but you pay with secretly marked and traceable spiritual stones?

Are you targeting me and looking for an opportunity to rob and kill people?

Once this misunderstanding occurred, Fang Jianfeng would be treated as a "robbery cultivator" with extremely serious crimes and dragged to trial. If he didn't die, he would be severely punished.

In serious cases, the powerful cultivators who have corroborated the evidence will kill them on the spot!

Because of this, Ding Chen dared to spend the spirit stones in Fang Jianfeng's storage ring.

As long as he doesn't spend too much and attract attention, it'll be fine.

……

The next morning.

Ding Chen was just about to go out to refine the mutated elemental spirit he had been longing for.

Instead, there was a knock on the door outside: "Knock, knock, knock!"

"Is Junior Brother Ding here?"

Ding Chen gave Liu Sisi a look.

The latter immediately understood and turned into a streak of light. With a "whoosh", he drilled into the beast storage bag hanging on Ding Chen's waist.

There was a tiny slit at the opening of the bag, allowing Liu Sisi to sense everything around her with her extraordinary sense of smell and hearing.

It turned out that Ding Chen had already used the method of releasing his spiritual consciousness to see through the cultivation level of the visitors, and found that they were just disciples at the seventh or eighth level of the Soul Gathering Realm.

He found that there was nothing to worry about, so he left a "back door" for Liu Sisi.

With a creaky sound, the door opened wide.

Ding Chen then saw several male cultivators standing in front of the door.

Ding Chen looked at the tallest male cultivator among them and felt that he looked familiar.

After a moment's recollection, he recognized that this young man was the receptionist who had mocked him when he went to the Mission Hall to accept the gold-level [Beast Taming] mission that day.

Ding Chen glanced at the other party’s badge, hmm, inner sect disciple.

The same goes for the other four.

So he asked indifferently: "Brothers, what can I do for you?"

The tall young man took out a mission notice with a fake smile and waved it in front of Ding Chen's eyes: "Junior Brother Ding, do you still remember this?"

"Is this the mission notice issued by Elder Fang Jianfeng?"

"good."

The young cultivator nodded, pretending to be sad, and sighed, "Alas, who would have thought that Elder Fang would be killed. His mission would naturally be invalidated."

"Brother, my name is Zhang Guan. I came here only to return the 'deposit' you left in the Mission Hall!"

Afterwards, he called the cultivator next to him, took out the recording crystal, and started recording.

“Is it recorded?”

"It's recorded, it's recorded!"

"it is good."

Zhang Guan nodded, took out a box from his storage ring and opened it;

Then pour five thousand spirit stones into the box.

"Here are the five thousand spirit stones I'm returning to you. Can you please count them?"

Five thousand spirit stones were poured into the box with just a "clatter".

This scene made the surrounding disciples drool with envy!

Some people even had a green glow of greed in their eyes.

Five thousand spirit stones is a huge sum of money that many menial disciples cannot save in their entire lives!

"it is good."

Ding Chen nodded and pretended to count.

In fact, he knew the number of spirit stones clearly with just a sweep of his spiritual sense.

After a while——

"That's right, it's five thousand spirit stones. Thank you, Senior Brother."

Ding Chen said politely.

"Hey, you're welcome!"

Zhang Guan waved his hands loudly: "Then we are even now, huh?"

"Well, it's settled."

"Then please sign and seal this document. Remember to leave your soul imprint for verification."

"it is good."

After Ding Chen completed each step as required.

Zhang Guan put his hands behind his back and made a secretive little movement.

The person in charge of recording the images with the crystal understood what he meant and ended the recording immediately.

At this time, Ding Chen did not forget to grab two handfuls of spirit stones from the box and handed them to Zhang Guan: "Brother, you have made this trip. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please have some tea."

After all, they made a special trip to deliver the goods to your door and their attitude was very nice.

According to Ding Chen's personality, he would naturally not let the other party work in vain.

"Hey? You're quite sensible, kid."

Zhang Guan grinned, but did not take the two handfuls of spirit stones that the other party had dropped from the ground.

Instead, he smiled teasingly and said, "Haha, since you are so sensible, I will give you the spiritual stone in your hand!"

After saying that, he summoned a bit of spiritual power and gently moved his fingers——

With a "pop" sound, the lid of the box containing the spirit stones was closed.

Zhang Guan waved his hand again, and the young man put the small box containing five thousand spirit stones into his storage ring...

Ding Chen was stunned.

He finally understood that several inner disciples coming all the way to return his "mission deposit" was not "attentive service".

Their purpose of this trip was just to blackmail Ding Chen and take the five thousand spirit stones for themselves!

Seeing this, the originally jealous disciples suddenly became gloating over the misfortune.

"Hehe, I knew there would be no such good thing!"

"This new guy is really stupid. He thinks that after he has dealt with Zhang Hao and his gang, he can be the king of the menial disciples area and look down on everyone."

"He actually went to the Mission Hall and accepted a 'Gold Level' mission."

"Now that I've been targeted by the inner sect disciples, I'm bankrupt, right? Hahahaha..."

"Humph, everyone is struggling to survive at the bottom, why are you so strong and rich?"

"That's right, you deserve to be blackmailed!!"

Zhang Guan had only taken a few steps when he suddenly turned around and rushed forward again, snatching the spirit stone that Ding Chen was holding in his hand.

Then he said with a joking smile: "Hey, brother, I thought about it again. I can't reject your kindness."

"I'll gladly accept this spirit stone! Hahahaha..."

Zhang Guan laughed unscrupulously.

Anyway, in his opinion, he had already asked someone to use a recording crystal to record the entire process of returning the spirit stones.

Plus there were several "witnesses" accompanying him.

Zhang Guan was not worried at all that Ding Chen would report the matter to the Law Enforcement Hall!

Ding Chen looked at the other person's back as he walked away, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

At this time, the catwoman in the beast storage bag seemed to sense Ding Chen's anger and asked quietly, "Brother Ding, how about letting me take care of them?"

"Not only will this help you vent your anger, but it will also allow me to earn some food..."

For Liu Sisi, those crunchy spiritual stones are the best cat food.

"Okay, go quickly and come back quickly, and do it cleanly."

"No problem~"
