More than ten years ago.
Lin Qingshu entered the Hydra Organization not long ago and was still relatively weak. He was a marginal figure in the family.
Due to the high bounty of the Hydra Organization.
He followed a small number of clues and locked onto Lin Qingqing's father. He successfully captured him and was praised by the Hydra Organization's leaders.
Although the subsequent news was that Lin Qingqing's father's bloodline didn't match or was too thin.
After half an hour of discussion in the conference room.
Lin Qingshu made up his mind. "We have to try to communicate with Luo Liang. It's best to cooperate with the owner of the land behind him."
In fact, after the Lin family gave up the land, they had been waiting for the owner of the land to discover the secret under the bamboo forest and contact them.
Naturally, the fewer people who knew about the secret of the stone temple, the better.
But these days passed.
The owner of the land, and even Luo Liang, didn't contact the Lin family.
On the contrary, Luo Liang's close contact with Lin Qingqing today touched the Lin family's nerves.
"Second brother, what about Greedy Snake?"
Blue-haired youth looked worried.
Speaking of Greedy Snake, Lin Qingshu's face was gloomy.
After Greedy Snake advanced to level 4, his influence in the Hydra Organization greatly increased.
A few days ago.
Greedy Snake directly gave him orders to either capture Luo Liang or cooperate with Greedy Snake's forces.
This kind of domineering attitude made the Ice Snake Lin Qingshu a little unhappy.
Before Greedy Snake was promoted, his position in the organization was not much higher than his, and he used to be quite polite.
"Helping Greedy Snake, for the Lin family, the benefits are too low, and we also have to bear the risk of offending the owner of the land."
Family Head Lin Zhenwei shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Lin Qingshu nodded. "Our Lin family is considered a big family in Tiandu City. Even if Greedy Snake advanced to level 4, he won't be able to pose too much of a threat to us. After all, this is a galactic society, and the Hydra Organization can't be seen."
In comparison.
If he could obtain a portion of the benefits from the stone temple, he might be able to level up to Level 4 and be on par with Greedy Snake in the Hydra Organization.
The meeting just ended.
Beep!
Lin Qingshu received a call and his pupils constricted.
"Ice Snake, what's up with the Lin family?"
Greed's voice was filled with displeasure.
He questioned, "Don't tell me that the leader of the Hydra Organization has to personally take action to capture a student?"
Lin Qingshu couldn't help but curse in his heart. 'Why don't you do it yourself? That way, I'll be able to see through the background of the owner of this land.'
However, he was well aware of Greedy Snake's current situation.
He had just broken through to Level 4 and had become a big shot in the organization. He was taking in some forces and expanding and stabilizing his own influence.
For a moment, the Greedy Snake couldn't do anything.
The reason why he needed the help of the Lin family was because …
Luo Liang was a genius of the North Star Academy. His family background wasn't ordinary. To capture this person, he still needed the cooperation of the local forces to be safe.
"Lord Greedy Snake, she's just a female slave. Why do you have to go through so much trouble?"
Lin Qingshu sighed and tried to persuade him.
Subsequently.
He told the Greedy Snake about Luo Liang and the owner of the land.
"Big shot from beyond the stars?"
Greedy Snake smiled after hearing this.
"When I came back from my advanced studies this time, I got to know the big shot from the upper country Hydra Organization. How would a real big shot from the interstellar world invest in the land on a remote planet? "
"Think about it. Among those forces who called you that night, were there any really important people who could affect the structure of a planet with a single thought?"
Hearing this, Lin Qingshu froze for a moment.
He recalled carefully.
At the auction that night, there were many big shots who called to pressure him. Some of them were from beyond the stars, which made the Lin family very afraid.
However … It seemed that there weren't any big shots with super power that could affect the structure of a planet.
Greedy Snake's analysis was only half right.
Bards themselves weren't super strong, but as a superstar, they had great fame and influence.
It was common for this kind of superstar to invest in some real estate and land during their growth.
The land issue that Luo Liang mentioned that night was, after all, a very small matter.
It was impossible for a bard to invite that kind of important interstellar big shot for such a small matter.
Not to mention using a cannon to kill a mosquito, such a big shot was also a rare and precious resource for a bard.
"Qingshu, with your talent and wisdom, I believe you can see the situation clearly and make the most beneficial choice."
At the end of the phone call, Greedy Snake said something meaningful.
There was a faint coercion in his words.
Lin Qingshu's expression was dignified.
Greedy Snake met a big shot in the upper country of the Federation. This was the other party's confidence and demonstration.
The owner of the land behind Luo Liang.
The big shot that Greedy Snake met.
Which one was stronger and which one was weaker?
According to Greedy Snake's analysis just now, the mysterious owner of the land might not be as powerful as imagined.
"Even if the owner of the land could be on par with the big shot behind Greedy Snake, I would still prefer to cooperate with Luo Liang."
Lin Qingshu pondered.
Greedy Snake was promoted to level 4, his status rose, and he also met a big shot in the upper country.
It could be said that he soared to the sky.
This made Lin Qingshu envious, so he was more and more eager for the opportunity in the stone hall.
Level 4 National Guardian was an important watershed for individual strength.
At this level, in ancient times, a person could destroy a country, but also defend a country.
…
That night.
Luo Liang returned to the Beihu Compound.
After the routine cultivation.
Luo Liang's mind entered the space.
"Xiaochu, help me screen the soul tool that is suitable for Lu Xiuyang's stone hall."
Luo Liang's plan was to prepare for both sides.
If he could get the right soul tool, he could open the opportunity in the stone hall at any time.
As for the question of points.
He had three ice dragon bones in his hand, and he could sell two of them.
After the ice molt and rebirth, the spiritual power of the dragon bones had been lost, and their value had plummeted, but they could still be sold for a sum of points.
"Yes. But you should be prepared for the price. "
Xiaochu said.
Soon, a bunch of options that easily cost more than 100,000 points were presented.
Luo Liang's eyelids twitched.
Even if he sold two dragon bones, he couldn't afford it.
This situation was actually within his expectations.
Soul tool was rare and precious, especially one that could resist the remnant soul of a high realm like Lu Xiuyang.
Luo Liang pondered for a moment.
Eh?
He thought of the Amethyst Flame Talisman Array that he bought from Zhao Lingling in the spiritual world a few days ago.
That set of talismans was essentially made up of talismans.
In Luo Liang's memories of the movies and TV shows from his previous life, those talismans often had a miraculous effect on evil creatures, zombies, and ghosts.
Luo Liang told Xiaochu about this idea.
"It is indeed feasible. But this kind of one-time consumption talisman is very rare in the stone hall. "
"It's good that it is feasible."
Luo Liang decided to try his luck with "Zhao Lingling" in the spiritual world.
The array he bought last time was very useful.
Zhao Lingling also gave him the feeling that she had a great background.
Luo Liang left a message to Zhao Lingling through his friend list, briefly explaining his intentions, emphasizing that he lacked points and could only barter.
Not long after.
There was a reply from Zhao Lingling.
Zhao Lingling: The bones of the Ice Dragon were corroded by the power of death?
Zhao Lingling: Can I see it in person?
Last time Luo Liang's purchase would result in a transaction fee, allowing the two to cross regional channels.
In essence, the two didn't really enter each other's channel.
Zhao Lingling: Oh, I forgot, we may not be on the same world channel.
Eh?
From these two messages, Luo Liang could see that Zhao Lingling shouldn't have joined the organization for too long.
Of course, just because she didn't join the organization for too long didn't mean that her level was low.
Lengyue Wusheng: It's okay, you tell me your channel name, I'll go over.
Zhao Lingling: Okay! So it's a big shot, going through the world channel at will.
Then she told him the location of a channel.
Luo Liang activated his Level 7 authority and went over directly.
"Code name 'Lengyue Wusheng' (Pseudo Level 2), stepping into Spirit World's Five Peak Mountain channel."
Luo Liang appeared in the vast source space.
This was the first time he entered the high-energy world channel.
As the organization's biggest boss, Luo Liang could go to any top-level channel at will, such as the Heavenly Realm, Immortal Realm, Devil Realm, etc.
However.
There were too many big shots in those top-level worlds, and their magical powers were unfathomable.
Luo Liang's actual level was too low, he was worried that if he casually said something, those big shots would see through him.
Xiaochu once said that the big shots in the heavens could deduce the past and future with just a random clue or detail.
Spirit World was at Level 6, it wasn't considered a top-level channel.
Luo Liang felt that it wouldn't be a big problem if he was cautious.
At this moment, in Spirit World's Five Peak Mountain channel.
Luo Liang found that some of the members around him were Level 1 and Level 2.
Level 3 members could also be seen occasionally.
If he stayed for a while longer, Luo Liang guessed that he might have a chance to meet a Level 4 authority holder.
Not long after.
Luo Liang found Zhao Lingling, who looked like an old woman.
"Thank you for going to the Spirit World channel."
This time, Zhao Lingling was much more polite.
Luo Liang's attitude of going through the world channel at will meant that he either had a high authority or paid a high price.
Her situation was more likely to be the former, she might not be as simple as a Level 2 member.
The two quickly got to the point.
"Can you let me see the ice dragon's skeleton first? The spirit talisman you need is of a high grade, it's not suitable for refining. "
Zhao Lingling asked.
Luo Liang felt that Zhao Lingling's manner of speech didn't seem like a real old woman, but he wasn't interested in this.
"Okay."
Luo Liang took out a piece of ice dragon's skeleton.
Zhao Lingling took it and examined it for a few seconds, an imperceptible fluctuation appearing in her eyes.
She was secretly happy. This ice dragon's skeleton had a high cultivation and grade when it was alive, it was a rare material for refining talismans.
Apart from the skeleton itself, the death energy sealed inside was very pure, it was also useful.
"The power and spirit of the skeleton have been severely depleted, it was also corroded by the death energy."
Zhao Lingling paused.
She gave a price: "I can refine a Level 4 'Heart-Calming Exorcism Talisman' for a piece of this skeleton."
Luo Liang asked Xiaochu.
Xiaochu's opinion was that the price was a little low, but it was within the normal range.
Luo Liang: "One bone for three talismans."
He could see that Zhao Lingling's price was a test.
Zhao Lingling should be interested in the ice dragon's skeleton.
"One for three?"
Zhao Lingling's old face frowned.
"Okay."
Zhao Lingling thought for a moment and agreed.
Luo Liang was a little surprised. His psychological price was that it was worth it to exchange two talismans.
Different worlds and different people had different valuations.
Such talismans were rare and precious in the outside world, but to Zhao Lingling, it was not rare.
After that.
The two of them made a transaction contract in the space.
The content of the contract was that Zhao Lingling would refine three Level 4 'Heart-Calming Exorcism Talismans' for Luo Liang in three days, and the dragon's skeleton would be traded.
The contract of the organization's rules was very binding.
The party that violated the contract would be forcibly deducted, including the corresponding price. If there was no deduction, they would be obliterated.
"If you have more of this kind of skeleton, you can find me to trade."
Before leaving, Zhao Lingling said.
"Let's talk about it next time."
Luo Liang did not give a promise.
The death energy in the dragon's skeleton was very lethal to people below Level 5. If it was controlled well, it could injure Level 5 continents. For himself, it was a rare trump card.
…
In the courtyard of the villa.
Luo Liang smiled. If he could get three Level 4 'Heart-Calming Exorcism Talismans', his plan would be in an invincible position.
Beep!
At this moment, a call from an unknown number came.
"Who is it?"
Luo Liang said lazily. If it was an insurance salesman or a scam call, he would have hung up immediately.
"Mr. Luo, I am Lin Zhenguang."
A calm voice came.
The head of the Lin family, Lin Zhenguang?
Luo Liang could not help but smile. Finally, he could not hold it in anymore?
"What's the matter, Head of the Lin family?" Luo Liang said casually.
"Regarding the underground stone hall and the opportunity of the Heavenly Sun descendants, the Lin family hopes to negotiate with you privately."
Lin Zhenguang said politely.
