Seated on the fourth floor of the Points Hall was a wizened old man with a sly, triangular eye and a prominent mole on his left cheek, giving off the first impression of a cunning merchant.
The old man stood behind the counter, sizing up Su Huai with a sly smile and said:
"Four eighth-order demon cores, or six of the same order's magic or ghost cores, and you can take away one statue."
Demon cores, magic cores, and ghost cores are collectively known as crystal cores, and their greatest use is that they can be refined by practitioners of the same order to increase their cultivation.
However, since the demon race cultivates by absorbing the spirit of heaven and earth like the human race, the crystal cores they condense are more easily absorbed by practitioners, and their value is naturally higher than the latter two.
Although magic and ghost cores can also be refined, there will be some additional energy conversion losses during the refining process, so their value is naturally lower.
Su Huai didn't bother to bargain.
He pointed a circle on the counter of the fourth floor.
"Including these medicinal materials, pack them all up."
"The price..."
With a slap, Su Huai threw out a ninth-order magic core.
"This magic core comes from a ninth-order late ape demon, is it enough?"
"Enough, it's naturally enough!"
The old man carefully picked up the magic core on the table, tested it with his own spiritual power, and immediately beamed with joy.
He personally came out from behind the counter, packed the medicinal materials that Su Huai had just pointed to, and even packed two Dan furnaces, and sent them to Su Huai.
The two Dan furnaces were one black and one green, because they were made by the same person, the quality was also not much different.
Su Huai picked it up and weighed it, silently put it into the storage ring.
The black one is for Chu Siyu, and the green one is too ugly, just give it to Old Chen.
I hope that old man does not live up to the expectations of this holy child, and breaks through the bottleneck as soon as possible to become a ninth-order Dan master.
The ninth-order magic core that was paid for by Su Huai was not distressed, and it was likely to be taken back soon.
The reason for buying these things was also to prevent these things from being destroyed by the battle after the outbreak of war...
When he left the Points Hall, the sky was full of red clouds.
The old man on the fourth floor of the Points Hall watched the two people leave and slowly retracted the smile on his face, taking the magic core and disappearing into the shadows.
A moment later, he appeared in front of Qian Sihai.
"Senior."
"Speak."
Qian Sihai's wheelchair has been repaired by the maid, and he is now leaning against the window, resting his eyes.
"Report to the senior, Su Huai went to the Points Hall today and exchanged a ninth-order magic core for the remaining two Dan furnaces in the sect."
"The subordinates can't distinguish the specific quality of the magic core, but it seems..." The old man paused. "The owner of the magic core, does not seem to be a ninth-order early stage."
Qian Sihai frowned slightly.
"Where is that magic core?"
"The subordinates have already brought it."
The old man lowered his head and held the magic core flat with both hands.
A light sound came from the wooden house, and the maid took the magic core from the old man's hand, and then closed the door again.
Qian Sihai looked at the magic core brought by the maid and was silent for a long time.
The elders outside the house couldn't tell, but he could see the quality of the magic core at a glance: the late ninth order!
There are no demons in the Ghost Abyss, and the Emperor of the Moon has not left the Ghost Abyss for tens of thousands of years, so the origin of this magic core is obvious.
"At a young age... has the strength to kill the ninth-order late demon..."
"Su Huai, ah, Su Huai, you are really... enviable..."
There are many ninth-order mineral materials in this world, and there are very few ninth-order creatures. The value of the two ninth-order Dan furnaces is far less than a ninth-order late magic core.
Qian Sihai knows what Su Huai means when he takes out this magic core.
He is showing his strength.
In this subtle way, he tells Qian Sihai: "I, Su Huai, can play with you slowly, but you have to understand that I also have the bottom to lift the table at any time."
Qian Sihai sighed and slowly closed his eyes.
"How is the arrangement of the Rong Ling Array?"
"It's almost at the end!"
"Hurry up..." Qian Sihai looked up at the empty ceiling. "Three days later... I will awaken the Emperor..."
The old man outside the house trembled, and his head was even lower.
"The subordinate... obeys."
"Nothing else, then retreat."
"Yes!"
...
Three days, not long, not short.
Since Su Huai took out that ninth-order magic core, the atmosphere in the Tianhan Palace suddenly became tense.
Jin Gang Ba Bi Hu Qingqing didn't know what happened, and was urgently recalled to the Huo Shi Peak in the evening of the second day.
She still lost her wife and lost her plan, and failed to successfully charm Su Huai.
The night when she bought the Dan furnace, she was ready to be favored, but was called out by Su Huai in the dark.
At first, Hu Qingqing thought Su Huai wanted to play some exciting games, such as going to the small forest together, but later found out how disgusting this bastard was.
He actually took Hu Qingqing to steal fragrance and steal jade in the middle of the night!
He even let Hu Qingqing stand outside the wall to keep watch for him.
The target is that familiar small courtyard of four people, and I don't know what kind of mediocre powders make Su Huai so obsessed.
In short, Hu Qingqing was almost furious, but she couldn't vent, and could only squat in the corner of the wall for a night.
Su Huai used the old trick, slipped out of the window as soon as he entered the door, covered his whole body's breath, and wandered around the Tianhan Palace like a ghost.
But the more he wandered, the more shocked he was.
The hundreds of arrays in the medicinal garden... are just the tip of the iceberg of Qian Sihai's layout!
With the samples recorded during the day, he found more than a dozen places that might serve as important nodes of the array after deduction.
Without exception, they are all filled with arrays!
Just his investigation at night, he found a total of tens of thousands of small arrays.
These arrays are also built into dozens of astonishing array combinations in units of hundreds.
Among them, there are even some places that Su Huai can't go to!
If these array groups are used as nodes to integrate into a larger super array...
Hiss...
Don't say the Tianhan Emperor, even Su Huai himself felt a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead.
Su Huai knows that Qian Sihai got the demon heart only a hundred years ago, but such a huge project is absolutely impossible to be completed in just a hundred years.
That is to say... before getting the demon heart, this old guy had already planned to kill the Tianhan Emperor!
But... why?
Before getting the demon heart, Qian Sihai couldn't have mastered the method of refining the emperor's pills with the emperor as the material, right?
Su Huai's expression was solemn.
The changes in the Tianhan Palace in these three days are also in his eyes, and the whole mountain gate seems to be shrouded in an invisible dark cloud, making people feel suffocated.
What Su Huai can do has been done, and he even tried to find a way to subvert that hidden big array.
Unfortunately, Qian Sihai's layout of a thousand years is not so easy to be broken.
What's more, in the hundred years since he got the demon heart, he has also laid out some special arrays that have never been heard of in the fairy domain on the basis of the original big array.
Su Huai lost half of the initiative, and what he can rely on now is his own strength that has not been exposed.
He doesn't dare to expose it, who knows if Qian Sihai will use those means that should be used on the Tianhan Emperor to deal with him when he is forced...
Su Huai is not familiar with the Tianhan Emperor, why should he take the initiative to help him block the disaster.
Die Taoyou, do not die poor Tao, Tianhan Taoyou... no matter you are good or evil, goodbye.
Not long after Hu Qingqing left, he found a reason to send Xu Elder out of the Tianhan Palace.
Then, he quietly waited in the small building for the storm that had been brewing for thousands of years to come.
On the fourth morning, Han Elder brought him a letter.
"Mr. Su, can you come to my humble home for a chat?" - Qian Sihai.
Su Huai looked at Han Elder who sent the letter.
"Your senior... wants to see me actively?"
"Yes!"
Han Elder arched his hands to Su Huai.
His face was also full of cold sweat.
