Chapter 381 A Useful Puppet

When Mu Qingyin came up from the bottom of the sea, the puppet had already built all the necessary houses according to the plan of Old Master Kuang, and was free to help the miners cut wood and dry it in preparation for making household items. So, when Mu Qingyin came up and saw the drastic change after seeing the deserted island suddenly turned into a village with stone houses popping up, she was surprised. At this time, Old Master Kuang came over to her with excitement and said, "It looks good, right?"

More than good.

Mu Qingyin nodded and praised: "Great. Grandfather, how come so much has changed in just five days?"

"well--"

To Mu Qingyin's surprise, Old Master Kuang sighed and looked at her with some resentment: "It's because your puppet is so useful. I just tell it my ideas and it can build the house quickly and well according to my ideas.

Alas, it is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. If the puppet did not look different from a real person, I would have almost thought it was a real person.

You said, I have used your high-level puppet once, and I don't know if I can get used to using a low-level one in the future, and whether I can adapt to it?"

There are tens of millions of high-level puppets in the mustard seed space, but in order not to expose the secret of the mustard seed space, he only took two puppets. He has long regretted taking out too few puppets. Mu Qingyin: "."

She looked at Old Master Kuang helplessly and a little guilty, and could only laugh dryly: "Don't worry, Grandfather, we will have high-level puppets. When we go to the cultivation world, we never know when we will be hit by another pie. What will happen then?"

She promised earnestly, "If I get another high-level puppet, I will definitely give one to my grandfather."

"No, no, grandpa, that was just a joke. High-level puppets are not easy to come by. How can they be obtained so easily?"

Old Master Kuang smiled and waved his hand: "If you can get it again, you don't have to give it to me. This treasure has always been spiritual and knows how to choose a good owner.

If you can get this high-level puppet again, the puppet will recognize you instead of me. I won't force it. If it is my destiny, I can get it naturally."

Mu Qingyin: "Grandfather, if I meet this again and pass it on to you, wouldn't that also be your fate?"

"Hahaha, kid, how can you be sure that you will get it first and not your grandfather?"

After laughing a few times, Old Master Kuang still shook his head and said, "Stop talking. In other families, the elders give good things to the younger generations. But our family has already received more than enough from you. In the future, it is your family that should give you good things. So, in the future, if you get any good things, you should learn to keep enough for yourself first, and don't be so generous."

Looking at Mu Qingyin seriously, Old Master Kuang said, "You have to be selfish when you need to be. You are thoughtful enough to bring out good things that are beneficial to the clan, such as those elixirs and exercises. Forget about this high-level puppet."

"Grandfather, are you trying to be polite to me?"

Hearing this, Mu Qingyin looked at Old Master Kuang unhappily and deliberately said, "Who said that I am the only one who gives good things to my family, and my family has no good things for me? Could it be that this spiritual stone mine was not discovered by my family, and now I can use it as much as I want?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 382 Master-Servant Contract

Mu Qingyin thought that after the discovery of the spirit stone mine, both Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai remembered her first, and remembered that she now needed these spirit stones to practice.

After digging out the spiritual stones, Old Master Kuang didn't care at all that he had worked hard to dig for several days out of excitement, and just gave them all to himself, allowing him to use them as he pleased.

How could Mu Qingyin not be deeply moved by such complete trust and generosity? She was moved that her previous efforts for the family were not in vain.

She tried her best to suppress her surging emotions, and just looked straight at Old Master Kuang and said, "You and Uncle know the value of this spiritual stone mine, and how important it is to cultivators, right?

But you hid such an important thing, such an important spirit stone mine, from even your grandmother, but you told it to me.

You treat me like this, do you still feel embarrassed to refuse the good things I give you? You are not just saying that you treat me as a family member, but in fact you treat me as an outsider, right? "

"What are you talking about, kid?"

I was startled by Mu Qingyin's last words, and when I looked up, I saw the cunning in her eyes.

Old Master Kuang immediately glared at her in anger: "You are contradicting yourself. Since even your grandmother knew about this spiritual stone mine but didn't hide it from you, how dare you go against your conscience and say that your grandfather treated you as an outsider?"

"Hmph, then tell me, if I get another high-level puppet to present to you, will you still accept it?" Mu Qingyin asked with a deliberate snort.

"Shou, since you said you are honoring your grandfather, how can I stop you from showing filial piety?" Old Master Kuang said unhappily, but the corners of his mouth kept curling up.

"What about other good things?" Mu Qingyin pressed on.

The corners of Old Master Kuang's mouth curled up higher and higher, and he could no longer maintain the unhappy expression on his face. He smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Take it, take it, take it. As long as it is my good grandson who is filial to my grandfather, I will accept it. Is this okay now?"

"Hehe, Grandfather, these are the Enlightenment Pills and Beast Benefit Pills that I just made. They are for you."

As long as you meet the right person, who is not only asking for things but also not grateful, giving and receiving will make people feel extremely happy.

Satisfied, he smiled and gave most of the Enlightenment Pill and the Beast Benefit Pill that he had just successfully refined to Old Master Kuang. Mu Qingyin said happily: "Where are the stone rats we brought back before? You can let them eat the Enlightenment Pill first, and then you can use the Beast Benefit Pill to lure them to take the initiative to sign a master-servant contract with you."

"Don't you need to use the Zhongxin Pill?" Old Master Kuang asked after a moment of surprise.

"Zhongxin Pill?"

Mu Qingyin was also surprised to hear Old Master Kuang mention these three words at this time, and hurriedly said: "No need. That is a pill for warriors or ordinary people in the secular world.

In the world of cultivation, whether it is a demon beast or a cultivator who recognizes a master, they directly sign a master-servant contract. That is the contract that is truly bound by the laws of nature, and it is much more reliable than the Heart Pill. "

"So that's how it is." Old Master Kuang stroked his beard, "So, even cultivators can sign a master-servant contract?"

"Grandfather, when you advance to become a cultivator, please do not easily try to sign a master-servant contract with other cultivators."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 383 Reminder

Hearing this, Mu Qingyin thought that Old Master Kuang was interested in the master-servant contract between cultivators, and was shocked and hurriedly reminded him: "Once the master-servant contract between cultivators is signed, it is no joke.

This is not only that if you are not careful when you cross the tribulation, the thunder tribulation you will face will be even more terrifying. It also means that from now on you will bear all the karma of another cultivator.

If the cause and effect are good, it is easy to say. But in fact, it is not much good for you. Because most of the benefits belong to that person, and you can only follow and get a limited share. But as the owner, you have to bear most of the bad consequences.

So if you meet someone with bad intentions and bad consequences, wouldn't you be very unlucky? Tell me, if you can't survive the catastrophe and ascend to heaven, is it a loss?"

"Ah? Are the consequences of signing a master-servant contract with a cultivator so serious?"

Old Master Kuang was shocked. He was a little tempted to bring his trusted confidant to the cultivation world, teach him the skills, and sign a master-servant contract with him after he became a cultivator. But the idea was immediately wiped out by fear.

He patted his chest in fear and said, "No, no, Qingyin, you have to tell grandpa more about what you have seen and heard in the world of cultivation when you have time. Grandpa wants to record them all and write a book called "Records of What You Have Seen and Heard in the World of Cultivation".

This way, the descendants of our Kuang family can read it before they become cultivators, and they will have enough knowledge. They will not do things that they shouldn't do out of ignorance."

"good."

Mu Qingyin agreed. She thought she was pretty good to her tribe members, but apart from a few close ones, she didn't think about other tribe members so carefully. She couldn't think about everything for them so carefully.

For example, she could talk about the so-called "Records of Cultivation World" when she remembered it, but if she was asked to write it down one by one, she didn't think she would have the patience.

I don't know what Mu Qingyin was thinking when she agreed to it. Seeing that she agreed, Old Master Kuang was very happy. He took the wisdom pill and the animal-benefiting pill and went with Mu Qingyin to find the two stone rats that they brought back before to recognize their master.

Halfway through the journey, Mu Qingyin remembered to remind Old Master Kuang, "Oh, by the way, Grandfather, after you have convinced the two stone rats to recognize their master, you'd better take out some Enlightenment Pills and mix them with water at a ratio of three to five pills for every hundred stone rats.

This will improve the intelligence of the entire tribe of stone rats, which will definitely be beneficial to us. At least they will be more obedient and have more respect for the guards we send."

"That makes sense. Don't worry, I know what to do."

Old Master Kuang nodded in agreement, then asked with a smile, "Well, then is it best for us to mix the Yishou Pill with water and give it to them regularly to make them more loyal to us?"

"Yes, yes." Mu Qingyin smiled and teased him mischievously, "Grandfather, you are really smart. Now you can draw inferences from one example."

"Hahaha, of course. Don't you see whose grandfather I am?" Old Master Kuang did not approve of Mu Qingyin's joke at all. Instead, he laughed loudly back and looked smug.

Mu Qingyin: "." What should I do if I want to cover my face?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 384 News from the Stone Rat

Just as Mu Qingyin expected, the two stone rats that had eaten the enlightenment pill quickly and willingly acknowledged Old Master Kuang as their master for the sake of the beneficial beast pill.

Not long after the two stone rats recognized their master, Old Master Kuang's expression suddenly became a little strange.

Mu Qingyin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in confusion when she saw this, but she didn't rush to ask. Instead, she waited quietly for Old Master Kuang to speak.

She didn't have to wait long, and soon saw Old Master Kuang's strange expression and said, "Damn it, these two stone rats actually told me that their tribe has traded with the mermaids in the Boundless Sea."

Huh? Mu Qingyin couldn't help but put a big question mark on her face.

She knew about the Boundless Sea, which was the sea they were in now. But she also knew about mermaids. They were said to have fish tails and human bodies, and lived in the depths of the sea. Very few people had seen them.

Mermaids are good at weaving, and the dragon silk they weave can remain wet in water.

Mermaids can also shed tears into pearls, and the mermaid cream made from them can be used as lamps to burn for a very long time. Mu Qingyin shuddered for a moment, not daring to continue imagining the miserable state of mermaids being boiled into mermaid cream. She blinked her eyes and glanced at the two stone rats and asked Old Master Kuang: "Grandfather, what do they trade with the mermaids? How often do they trade?"

"They didn't explain it clearly. We only know that the mermaids would come on the second day of the full moon. We don't know what they used to exchange with the original king of their tribe for what they excreted, which was the stone spirit."

Old Master Kuang said helplessly: "No wonder there were so few stone spirits when we went there. I felt a little strange at the time. But at that time I thought that those stone rats didn't even care about the stone spirits they excreted.

But I didn't expect that the stone spirits were actually taken by their tribe's king to trade with the mermaids. Unfortunately, their tribe's king has been drowned by the sea, and now we can't ask any more detailed questions?"

Mu Qingyin: "."

She subconsciously looked at her mustard seed space again, and saw the king of the original tribe of stone rats who was extremely huge and had extremely shiny hair, who was taken in by the puppet.

Could it be that it had eaten something good that made it so different from other stone rats? Unfortunately, the Rat King was already dead, so even if she had many questions in her heart, she had no one to ask.

After thinking for a while, Mu Qingyin said to Old Master Kuang, "Grandfather, the moon is full every 15th of every month. Today is the 13th, why don't we stay here and wait for two or three days to meet the mermaid in person?"

"That's exactly what I want to do. After all, I've heard of mermaids, but we've never seen one. It's always good to see one if we have a chance."

Old Master Kuang nodded. "But no matter what the Rat King in Stone Rat used the stone essence to trade with the mermaids, I think it was most likely a loss-making deal. Don't expect me to continue doing business like that with them in the future."

Mu Qingyin thought about it, and for a moment she couldn't figure out what the Rat King who wore a stone rat had gotten from the mermaid. But no matter what it was, she acquiesced to what Old Master Kuang said and said, "Even if it's a business that doesn't lose money, we need the stone essence ourselves, and it's really inappropriate to continue to trade it with the mermaid."

"That's right. If you ask me, the only good things that mermaids have are dragon silk and tears. But the stone rats are definitely not interested in these two things, and we haven't found them in the stone rats' caves before."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 385: Explosion

Old Master Kuang stroked his beard and guessed, "I guess what the mermaids used to trade with the original Rat King of Stone Rat were mostly some delicious stones found under the sea.

Well, we will know what it is in two or three days. We can't guess anything here. We might as well get down to business. We still have to feed the remaining stone rats with wisdom pills and then divide their nests."

As he was about to order the two newly acquired stone rats around, Old Master Kuang stopped talking halfway through his words.

The reason was simple: after the two stone rats ate the beast-benefiting pill, their two short legs at the back began to sit cross-legged like humans, as if they were old monks in meditation.

Old Master Kuang: "."

He was dumbfounded, and suddenly started to wonder if what the two had eaten before were really the Enlightenment Pills instead of the Spirit-Forming Pills?

"Grandfather, it looks like we have to wait a little longer until they have refined the medicinal power of the Beast-Benefiting Pill first." Seeing how amusingly her grandfather was staring at the two stone rats, Mu Qingyin couldn't help but chuckled and said.

"Alas, it's already like this, what else can I do if I don't wait?"

Helplessly looking at the two stone rats that were refining the medicinal power on their own, Old Master Kuang was not angry.

After all, he also knew that this was not the fault of the two stone rats. After taking the beneficial beast pill, when to refine the medicinal power was not something they could control.

In fact, this is also helpless. If the two stone rats are not given the beneficial beast pills to improve their strength, how can they subdue the rats and become the new king of the stone rats? Thinking about the upcoming mermaid, Old Master Kuang couldn't help but worry: "Qingyin, how long do you think it will take for these two to refine the medicine? Don't miss the date of meeting the mermaid this month? If that's the case, can the mermaid still come next month?"

"Grandfather, don't be anxious. This Yishou Pill is not the Baishou Pill, Qianshou Pill, or even the Wanshou Pill. Its medicinal effect is mild. Generally speaking, it doesn't take too long for a demon beast to refine it, even for the first time. A day at most is enough."

After looking at the size of the two stone rats, Mu Qingyin smiled and comforted Old Master Kuang: "So there is plenty of time, you don't need to worry at all."

"I feel relieved when you say that."

Old Master Kuang finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then he pulled Mu Qingyin aside and asked curiously, "What about the Hundred Beasts Pill, Thousand Beasts Pill, and Ten Thousand Beasts Pill?"

"Those are also pills specially made for monsters. But only monsters of higher levels can bear them."

Mu Qingyin patiently and carefully explained to Old Master Kuang the effects of the Hundred Beasts Pill, Thousand Beasts Pill and Ten Thousand Beasts Pill. She also told him some common sense about the world of cultivation.

Mu Qingyin was talking with great concentration, and Old Master Kuang was also listening with great interest. For a moment, they both forgot about the two stone rats that were refining the power of the beast-benefiting elixir.

No one knew how much time had passed, until the two stone rats, unwilling to be lonely, circled around the two of them and kept squeaking, the two of them suddenly realized that the two stone rats had absorbed the drug and woke up.

"Wow, this head has grown so big all of a sudden? The fur has become more touchable too."

The two rock rats suddenly grew to more than twice their original size. Their fur also became more shiny, thick and soft.

Old Master Kuang came over and touched the two stone rats that were particularly intimate with him, then said with a look of regret: "How come this fur is more comfortable than the fur of the fire rabbit? What a pity! If I could peel it off and give it to your grandmother to make clothes, who knows how happy she would be."

"squeak--"

The two stone rats that had been obediently standing next to Old Master Kuang suddenly got angry, screamed, and jumped away with a change of expression.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 386 Restriction

After the two rat kings successfully subdued the stone-piercing rats, Mu Qingyin asked Old Master Kuang to tell the two rat kings to gather all the stone-piercing rats.

After giving all the stone rats the wisdom-enhancing pill mixed with water, the two soon noticed that the rats had become much smarter.

Afterwards, Mu Qingyin taught Old Master Kuang a set of techniques through secret telepathy, which was to control the rat group through the two rat kings who had been recognized as his masters, and to place restrictions on the brains of every stone rat in the entire rat group.

Old Master Kuang learned it quickly, and after using that method and spending a lot of effort, he placed restrictions on the brains of all the stone rats.

From now on, not only these stone rats, but also their offspring will never be able to harm Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin, as well as the Kuang family members or the Kuang family guards sent by Old Master Kuang in the future.

Only then did Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, Old Master Kuang generously diluted the solution with water at the ratio of five beast-benefiting pills for every fifty rock rats, and let the group of rock rats line up to drink one cup each.

Seeing the animal-benefiting pills being mixed into the water again. Facing the rats queuing up to drink water, the two rat kings' eyes turned red with jealousy, scratching their ears and cheeks and swallowing their saliva. It was obvious in their eyes that they were reluctant to leave, and they kept shouting at Old Master Kuang.

"What? Your Rat King used to enjoy all the good things by himself? You don't want to give these to them?"

After hearing what the two rat kings had conveyed, Old Master Kuang raised his finger and tapped the two rat kings hard on the head: "How come you don't have the tolerance of a rat king at all? If you follow me, will you still be short of animal-benefiting pills in the future?"

He taught them a lesson in frustration: "No wonder people say rats are short-sighted. There are so many stone-piercing rats in the entire tribe, but what's the point of only the two of you improving your strength?

Can the two of you bring down enough stone spirits of good quality? Can you provide enough better quality furs and more delicious meat and bones?"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak"

When they heard that Old Master Kuang was coveting their fur, meat and bones, the two stone rats looked hopeless, and then they wailed and ran away. They no longer had any extra thoughts about the water mixed with the animal-benefiting pill that the other rats were happily drinking.

"hehe---"

Watching the interaction between Old Master Kuang and the two Rat Kings, Mu Qingyin found that no matter how many times she had watched it, she still couldn't help but laugh.

Old Master Kuang also laughed when he saw this: "The previous Stone Rat King was the same. He kept all the good things for himself and kept the other Stone Rat Kings from getting any of them.

The top beam is crooked, and the bottom beam is crooked. These two have seen a lot. Not only do they feel sorry for their former companions, but now they have become rat kings. The first thing they think of is to learn to act selfishly like the previous rat king. "

He shook his head: "Fortunately, this is just a monster. If it were a human, it would be terrible. It would be difficult to straighten it if it grew crooked."

"Grandfather, how can there be so many twists and turns in this world of monsters? They are different from humans. How many humans are willing to admit that they are selfish, and dare to say it out loud? But monsters are different, they will not hide themselves."

Mu Qingyin smiled and said, "I actually think they are quite cute. In fact, if you think about it, the world of monsters is a more direct law of the jungle. If they don't learn to be selfish, how can they live long?"

"That's what you said."

Old Master Kuang nodded when he heard this, and he actually listened to Mu Qingyin's words and felt less disgusted with the two "short-sighted" rat kings. In the end, he still divided the unfinished water among the rats equally among them.

This made the two of them very happy, and they immediately went straight to Old Master Kuang, which made Old Master Kuang laugh and scold them for only caring about food and not about beatings.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 387 Rudeness

Time passed extremely quickly, and just as Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin were looking forward to seeing a real mermaid with their own eyes, the fifteenth day of the month passed as scheduled.

After finding out the time when the mermaids usually arrived, Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin waited at the beach with the newly appointed Rat King early the next morning.

Facing the rising sun, soon, Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin saw from afar a small boat sailing against the wind on the sea.

Looking at the man and woman standing steadily on the boat, and hearing the reminder of the stone rat beside him, Old Master Kuang asked Mu Qingyin with a strange look on his face: "Don't they say that mermaids have human bodies and fish tails? How come these two mermaids have legs like us?"

"Grandfather, mermaids can practice just like us. When they reach a certain stage, their feet and tails can be transformed naturally by their mind."

Mu Qingyin knew about Old Master Kuang's question, so she answered without finding it strange at all.

"So that's how it is." Old Master Kuang suddenly realized and then lost interest. "I wanted to see a mermaid with a fish tail, but here comes one with legs, and it looks the same as us? What's the point of seeing this? Well, isn't it a waste of time?"

The mermaid's boat was moving extremely fast. It looked like a small black dot the moment before, but in the blink of an eye you could see the people on the boat clearly. In the blink of an eye again, they were right in front of you.

At this time, the cultivation that had been ingrained in his bones since childhood made it impossible for Old Master Kuang to walk away in anger. However, the expression on his face became indifferent.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

When Old Master Kuang saw the mermaids who looked no different from humans, he was disappointed. But when the two mermaids saw two huge rat kings who looked like stone rats, Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin were extremely shocked.

Looking at the two people, the two mermaids had a bad premonition in their hearts and became somewhat uncertain.

"We are waiting for you here to tell you that no matter what kind of deal you had with the Rat King in Stone Rat, you can stop that deal from now on."

After saying this concisely and directly, Old Master Kuang called out to Mu Qingyin and the two Stone Rat Kings beside him, then turned around and left.

"etc."

"Stop, what's wrong with you?"

There were two mermen, a man and a woman. The man's voice was anxious, while the other woman was not so polite. She angrily scolded Old Master Kuang.

Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin raised their eyebrows at the same time and stopped walking. However, before they could turn around, they heard the merman yell at the merman woman in a dissatisfied but somewhat dignified voice: "Qiuqiu, don't be rude."

"But." The merman woman wanted to refute dissatisfiedly, but under the glare of the merman man, she stomped her feet and kept silent. But even if she didn't speak, the expression on her face was still angry.

The merman felt embarrassed when he saw this. He bowed slightly to Old Master Kuang who had turned around, and said sincerely and apologetically, "I am sorry for my rudeness, sir."

"snort."

Old Master Kuang glanced at the obviously spoiled merman woman, snorted coldly and said rudely: "How rude of you. What? You want to force us to buy or sell. Are you not allowed to stop doing a business that is losing money?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 388 Contempt

"..."

The merman didn't know how to respond for a moment when faced with Old Master Kuang who was so straightforward and didn't give anyone the slightest bit of face when they disagreed with him.

"Who said it was a losing business? We gave you a spirit pearl. Have you seen a spirit pearl?" The merman woman shouted in dissatisfaction. When she mentioned the word spirit pearl, her face was full of pride, and she looked at Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin with disdain.

Lingzhu? What is that? This unfamiliar word really confused Old Master Kuang.

Not to mention, he had never seen that spiritual bead before. He didn't know what it was and how precious it was. But at this time, he would never admit that he had never seen that thing. He couldn't even show that something was wrong with his expression.

He sneered in disguise, and then quietly looked at Mu Qingyin for help. He was a little nervous and secretly prayed that Mu Qingyin knew what it was. He even prayed that it would not be more precious than the spirit stone. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing - spirit beads? Seeing the merman woman looking down on others, she really thought that the merman took out something valuable to trade with the former stone rat king? It turned out that it was just a spirit bead.

Mu Qingyin couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking at the merman woman with a strange expression: "A thousand spirit beads are only worth one low-grade spirit stone.

In the world of cultivation, one ounce of black stone essence can be exchanged for three hundred spirit beads. Green stone essence is even more valuable, one ounce can be exchanged for six hundred spirit beads, and there is no market for it. I just wonder how many spirit beads did you mermaids take to exchange for stone essence before?"

What? A thousand spirit beads are only worth one low-grade spirit stone?

In the world of cultivation, one ounce of black stone essence can be exchanged for three hundred spirit beads. One ounce of green stone essence can be exchanged for six hundred spirit beads?

Before that - thinking about how the Stone Rat King had made a huge loss in business and even lost all his pants, Old Master Kuang was so heartbroken that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.

He suddenly felt that it was really lucky that the Stone Rat King died just like that.

Otherwise, it would not die, even if it had been recognized as its master. Based on its past prodigal behavior, Old Master Kuang would rather strangle it to death with his own hands and replace it with another one to be the rat king.

"Oh--"

He was so angry that he sneered at Mu Qingyin, "Why are you nagging at them? These ignorant people think a few spirit beads are some inestimable treasures. How can we talk to them?"

He was almost fooled before, and thought the Lingzhu was a treasure. It turned out that it was just the same as the copper coins in the secular world, and it was the smallest coin.

How ignorant must one be if someone treats a copper coin as a treasure and has the nerve to show it off?

As he said this, he looked at her with even more contempt than the merman woman had shown before, then turned his head away, as if he would not bother to look at her any longer.

"You, you..." The merman girl was so angry that she started to cry. She looked at the merman and said coquettishly with tears in her eyes, "Brother Yingyang, are you watching them?"

Mermaid man: "."

He looked at the mermaid woman helplessly, and suddenly a human word popped up in his mind - a person must first humiliate himself before being humiliated by others.

"Brother Yingyang, they bullied me, you, you have to stand up for me--"

The merman woman saw the merman looking at her indifferently, and she felt ashamed and angry. But this time she did not get angry again, but instead held the merman and cried.

"Shut up."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 389 Rejection

The merman was obviously annoyed by the mermaid's crying. With a gloomy face, he glared at her with a warning look and then scolded her in a low voice.

"."

The merman woman's expression froze, as if she remembered something and finally stopped crying in fear. She didn't dare to pull the merman's clothes anymore, she retracted her hand and finally calmed down and kept silent.

"Sir, no matter what happened before, we, the mermaids, still hope to continue trading with you in the future."

Looking at Old Master Kuang sincerely, the merman thought for a moment and took out a small and exquisite boat from his arms. He presented it to Old Master Kuang with both hands and said modestly, "I didn't know the owner of this place had changed. We came here in a hurry. It's just a small gift, not a respect. I hope you will accept it."

"That won't do. No merit, no reward. We don't have any friendship, how can I just accept your things?"

One look at the exquisite and small building ship, this time Old Master Kuang knew without asking that it must be a magic weapon. Well, it's more likely just a magic weapon.

Although it would be a lie to say that he was not tempted, but when he thought about the fact that he had taken something from someone, Old Master Kuang shook his head and said, "We don't want the things anymore, and we won't talk about the previous transaction. But it is absolutely impossible for you to trade with us as before."

"Sir, the past is the past. If you were the owner of this place back then, we would certainly not trade with you like that."

Seeing that Old Master Kuang rejected his gift, the merman was not angry, but continued to discuss with him calmly and kindly: "How about we do as you just said and the number of stone essences as before, but according to the rules of the cultivation world, one ounce of black stone essence is three hundred spirit beads; and six hundred spirit beads for green?"

"No."

Old Master Kuang rejected the merman without even a second's hesitation, and said firmly: "It is absolutely impossible for the stone spirit to give you the same amount as before."

He paused, narrowed his eyes shrewdly and said, "And what we just said is that according to the rules of the cultivation world, one ounce of black stone essence is worth three hundred spirit beads; and green stone essence is worth six hundred spirit beads. But that is an old calendar that has been around for who knows how many years.

Now we are still required to trade according to that rule, isn't it obvious that we will continue to lose money? And since you know that this stone essence is rare, don't you know what it means to have a price but no market? Don't you know that green stone essence is countless times more rare than black stone essence, and it is simply not easy to buy in the cultivation world?"

The old saying is true. These words of her grandfather were so true and in line with her heart.

Hearing what Old Master Kuang said, Mu Qingyin couldn't help but look at him with admiration. Old Master Kuang was so impressed that he stroked his beard and smiled, and he was obviously very proud.

It's just that Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin were happy, while the merman and the merman woman opposite were in a very unhappy mood.

The merman's expression changed several times, but he finally held back and asked Old Master Kuang in a seemingly calm tone, "What price do you want?"

It seems that this stone spirit is really a good thing, otherwise why would this mermaid insist on buying it? Old Master Kuang's eyes flashed, and he stroked his beard thoughtfully.

No, the more the other party thinks so, the more he cannot sell his stone essence. Anyway, his family is not short of spiritual stones for the time being, but this stone essence is very useful, so he has to save it first.

Chapter 390 Threat

Thinking of this, Old Master Kuang immediately gave up the idea of only selling the black stone essence. His attitude became even more resolute. No matter what the merman said, even if the price was doubled, he would not give in.

The merman woman endured the old man's attitude, but finally she couldn't bear it anymore and jumped out, pointing at his nose and scolding: "Don't be shameless. If you don't know how to appreciate it, do you believe that we will flood your place and make sure that not even a stone rat can survive?"

This time, seeing the mermaid woman jump out and say such words, the mermaid man did not stop her. Instead, his face became gloomy, as if he agreed with the mermaid woman's words.

This made the mermaid woman, who originally had little confidence, suddenly become very proud. She looked at Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin even more proudly and arrogantly.

"Haha, if I say you're going to force us to buy, are you really going to force us to buy? If we don't sell, are you going to flood our place?"

The threatening words from the mermaid woman made Old Master Kuang so angry that he was fuming. In his entire life, he was always afraid of people speaking softly to him in a nice tone, but he had never been afraid of anyone threatening him.

So he laughed angrily, put his fist under his nose and touched it casually, and said with a smile: "In this case, you don't have to leave. I heard that the mermaid paste made by mermaids can be used to light lamps for a long time. Our family is in need of such lamp oil."

As soon as he finished speaking, the merman woman was about to retort, but she suddenly smelled a strong fragrance, and then she found that her body was weak, and soon she could not support herself and fell to the ground with a plop, unable to get up.

She was so horrified that she wanted to open her mouth to ask the merman for help, but before she could open her mouth, she heard the same "plop" sound again, and then watched the merman fall down right after him - "Hahahaha -"

Seeing that the merman and woman were both knocked unconscious by the poison pill, Old Master Kuang immediately laughed heartily and said to the two of them, "Aren't you very capable? How come you can't even resist this little bit of medicine?"

The merman and the merman woman wanted to speak, but when they opened their mouths, they found that their bodies were stiff, even their tongues were not the exception. What was even more frightening was that they had no strength at all, which made them doubt that even if their tongues were fine, they would not even have the strength to curse.

The two of them turned pale for a moment, and they were all panicking. This feeling of being at the mercy of others was really too bad.

Old Master Kuang was in no mood to care about their feelings.

They saw two people falling on the small boat they brought. Because of the two people falling, the boat, which was originally very stable, became shaken and seemed to be about to float away.

That won't work.

Old Master Kuang then called Mu Qingyin to go forward together. He lifted up the merman with one hand, and after Mu Qingyin lifted up the merman woman, Old Master Kuang picked up the boat with his other hand.

After walking a long way inside, they arrived at a place that the Rat King had asked about, which could not be flooded even at high tide. Old Master Kuang put the boat on a seemingly flat boulder, threw the merman back on the boat, and turned back to the jade mine tunnel that the Rat King had mistaken for a cave.

After watching Old Master Kuang throw away the merman, Mu Qingyin threw the merman woman in without hesitation. Then she turned around and left without even taking a second look.
