Chapter 182: Chapter 176: Level 20 Celestial Bridge Pill, Purchasing Slaves
“Master of the Ruined Pavilion, I wish you a safe journey.”
Xu Qing stood in the courtyard, gazing at the vanishing Lanke Daoist Temple. A touch of emotion crossed his face as he offered a slight bow with cupped hands and spoke these words.
SWOOSH!
Then,
Xu Qing quickly directed the Vajra Daoist Soldier back into the courtyard.
“Master.”
The Vajra Daoist Soldier handed the Serenity Dao Bell to Xu Qing.
“Mm.”
Xu Qing nodded.
’Record.’
With a thought,
Xu Qing’s consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things. A brilliant light flashed, and the Serenity Dao Bell in his hand also pulsed with a white glow.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
The scene before Xu Qing’s eyes seemed to distort. One scene after another appeared, showing the Master of the Ruined Pavilion crafting this very Serenity Dao Bell.
[Recording Successful!]
[Serenity Dao Bell Level 1: 0/100 (This is a Dao Bell made by the Master of the Ruined Pavilion from ordinary ironwood. It has been properly consecrated and engraved with Dao Patterns. Each time the bell is rung, it will have the effect of calming the heart, clarifying the mind, and achieving an empty, clear state of insight.)]
Soon,
the relevant information appeared in Xu Qing’s mind.
“Good.”
A smile appeared on Xu Qing’s face. He mused, “The effect of this Serenity Dao Bell is similar to the Clear Heart Wooden Fish, but there are differences.”
“Moreover,”
“One was refined using the methods of the Buddhist Sect, while the other was refined using the methods of the Taoist Sect.”
DONG!
DONG!
DONG!
Xu Qing gently shook the Level 1 Serenity Dao Bell in his hand. A muffled ringing sound echoed out. Because it was made of wood, not iron, the sound was naturally dull.
…
[Experience +1]
…
[Experience +1]
…
The prompts appeared.
Every time Xu Qing used his True Qi to ring the Serenity Dao Bell, he would gain one Experience Point. This was how the Serenity Dao Bell generated Experience Points.
’Not bad.’
Xu Qing nodded.
“Kaya.”
Xu Qing called out.
“Master.”
Soon,
Kaya came over.
“This task is for you.”
Xu Qing handed the Level 1 Serenity Dao Bell to Kaya. “From now on, your daily task is to ring this Dao Bell without stopping.”
“Yes.”
Kaya nodded.
「The next day.」
Xu Qing left the courtyard and headed to the slave market in the Xicheng District of Celestial River Prefecture City. Due to Yan Gu’s accidental death, Xu Qing found himself short-handed.
Most importantly,
Xu Qing had elixirs like the Celestial Bridge Pill, so he had no worries about betrayal. After all, even Ye Langtian was kept under control by the Celestial Bridge Pill.
In the end,
after a series of careful selections,
Xu Qing spent one hundred Low-grade Primordial Stones to buy three servants. Among them, one was a Martial Artist, and the other two were Half-Demons.
Also,
after spending those one hundred Low-grade Primordial Stones, Xu Qing didn’t have much money left—only a hundred thousand or so in gold notes.
Of course,
if Xu Qing were short on cash, he could just upgrade a few weapons and Dharma Artifacts and have Ye Langtian sell them. It would be easy to make a lot of money.
So,
Xu Qing felt no heartache about spending the money.
「The scene changed.」
「Inside the courtyard.」
“Not bad.”
Xu Qing looked at the three servants standing before him. The Martial Artist was a middle-aged man with a square face, dark skin, and a scar on his forehead. He had been demoted to a slave after committing a major crime. As for his cultivation, he had just stepped into the ’Second Realm: Extraordinary,’ having reached the ’First Realm of the Mental Realm’ and comprehended the ’Boxing Dao Realm.’
As for his original name,
every slave was stripped of it. Their old names had to be forgotten, leaving only a number. This Martial Artist servant’s number was ’No. 01298’.
“From now on, you will be called ’Wu Yi’.”
Xu Qing said.
“Yes, Master.”
A flicker of light crossed Wu Yi’s eyes. After hearing Xu Qing’s words, he didn’t hesitate for a moment, immediately dropping to his knees before Xu Qing and kowtowing. “Wu Yi pays his respects to Master.”
“Mm.”
Xu Qing nodded and then looked toward the other two Half-Demons.
In the slave market,
Half-Demon slaves were the most common type and also the cheapest, unless they possessed some special abilities or unique features.
Otherwise,
Half-Demon slaves were the lowest priced.
Thus,
Xu Qing had spent fifty Low-grade Primordial Stones to buy Wu Yi, and another fifty Low-grade Primordial Stones to buy the other two Half-Demon slaves.
There was a twofold difference in price.
One of them,
a Half-Demon, was a Snake Demon. She didn’t have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake; rather, she had distinct, amber-colored serpentine eyes, and her tongue was forked like a snake’s.
In addition,
she had jade-green snake scales on her wrists and ankles.
“You will be called Wu Er.”
Xu Qing said to the Snake Demon.
“Yes, Master.”
This Snake Demon was a woman with a graceful figure. Upon hearing Xu Qing’s command, she too knelt on the ground and kowtowed, her posture revealing her fiery physique.
“Wu Er kneels before Master.”
Wu Er said.
Finally,
the third Half-Demon servant Xu Qing bought was a Minotaur with the head of a bull. His demonic features were extremely prominent, indicating a dense Demon Race bloodline. He had a black bull’s head with black, sickle-like horns, a strong and burly frame, and well-developed muscles.
“You will be called Wu San.”
Xu Qing named him.
“Wu San kneels before Master.”
Wu San, who was two and a half meters tall, knelt before Xu Qing.
“Mm.”
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. With a thought, he took out the already-upgraded Level 20 Celestial Bridge Pills and handed them to the three servants. “Eat these elixirs.”
