Chapter 2052: Great harvest, unexpected news
It was because the old man Wuwei, who had been traveling for a long time, finally came back to report, and his words and deeds showed that he had gained a lot.
Qin Tian was naturally overjoyed when he heard the news. He hurried out of retreat and headed straight for the Holy City. The journey took about several days, and soon he met the dusty Wuwei Sanren in the private room of the agreed street wine shop.
From his slightly haggard face, it can be seen that the old man was also very hardworking and must have experienced a lot of changes on the way. After all, in such a short time, it is not an easy thing to travel through the major markets in the Burning Heaven Domain and be on guard against others.
Not to mention that he occasionally had to pass through some dangerous places and even encountered natural dangers and monsters blocking the way. With the old man's cultivation at the peak of the middle stage of the God of Transformation, it was really difficult for him. It is no exaggeration to say that he risked his life.
For this, Qin Tian naturally praised him.
After three rounds of tea, he came straight to the point and said:
"Fellow Daoist Wuwei has worked hard this time, and I think you should have gained a lot. If so, I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
After receiving the guarantee, the old man Wuwei felt relieved and pretended to be modest for a moment, then waved his sleeves and said without hesitation:
"Thanks to Brother Nangong for looking at me, I have fulfilled my mission. I have searched all the markets in the entire Burning Heaven Domain. All the spiritual materials that can be collected are here. Please take a look, Brother Daoist!"
After saying that, as his sleeves waved, the ground suddenly shone with brilliant light, and several black stones that seemed to have no vitality appeared. They were undoubtedly the rare "Falling Star Mysterious Stone".
However, compared with the last time, this time because the entire Burning Heaven Domain was plundered, the amount of black stone was obviously much more.
A quick look revealed that the largest one was the size of a human head, and the other four slightly smaller ones were about the size of an egg. The remaining fragments stacked together could be ignored for the time being. With the total weight of these, plus the black stones collected before, they would definitely be of great use!
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian was naturally delighted. He immediately waved his sleeves to take the black stone for a careful inspection, and praised it generously:
"Not bad~! Daoist Wuwei really took the trouble to get such a harvest this time. This is the reward you deserve...!"
As he spoke, Qin Tian collected all the black stones and put them in his pocket on the spot. Then he waved his hand and took out a thousand low-grade Yuan stones, and placed them neatly on the table together with two sixth-level talismans.
Such a generous and generous attitude really stunned the old man Wuwei!
Probably because he was born in a humble family, he had to risk his life to meet the needs of cultivation, and he was often in a state of poverty. When had he ever seen such a generous gift?
But now he was only doing some errands and miscellaneous work, but he could get a reward that he had never dared to think of before. Any casual cultivator of the same level would never remain calm.
The most important thing is that because the Falling Star Mysterious Stone is too unpopular, the market price is not too high, so the money Qin Tian gave last time, after deducting the consumption of buying spiritual materials, actually had more than half left, and these naturally fell into the old man's pocket.
Therefore, seeing Qin Tian giving him another generous gift, Wuwei, who was guilty, did not dare to accept it at all, but refused it in a rare way.
"Ahem~! It is my honor to be valued by you, brother. Besides, I have only done my best this time. How can I accept such a great gift from you? I am really ashamed of it..........!"
However, seeing this situation, Qin Tian smiled calmly.
With his intelligence, how could he not know about this little trick behind the scenes? So naturally there would be no surprise, but he pretended not to know and deliberately indulged, because he was well versed in the way of controlling people, and he knew very well that in order to control a person, he must use both kindness and force to achieve miraculous effects.
Besides, immortal cultivators are not saints, greed is their nature, and it is easier to control such people.
Therefore, in the face of the old man's refusal, Qin Tian directly ordered in a tone that could not be refused:
"Since you are doing things for me, I will never treat you unfairly. These rewards are what you deserve. Just accept them without worry. In addition, you should retreat and cultivate for a while. I will make arrangements when you break through your cultivation!"
"Thank you for your care, Brother Dao. In the future, I will go through fire and water and die without hesitation. I will definitely repay your kindness for your support.........!"
Hearing this, the old man Wuwei was grateful and burst into tears. He was very passionate on the spot, as if he wanted to go through life and death.
But when he heard the second half of the sentence, he was slightly stunned. Obviously, he didn't understand the deep meaning of the words. It was because he had been stuck in a bottleneck for many years. How could he break through just by saying it?
However, Qin Tian soon proved everything.
He raised his hand and took out another exquisite jade bottle. The things contained in it were actually three precious middle-grade jade dew pills!
Seeing this, the old man Wuwei was stunned, and then he could no longer hold back and knelt down on the spot:
"Thank you, Brother Nangong... Ah no! Thank you for your generous gift. From now on, I will obey your orders without any complaints...!"
After winning people's hearts, the old man Wuwei had completely surrendered. Qin Tian was quite satisfied with this. He immediately told him about his preparations for the long journey and told him to break through for the time being and continue searching for traces of spiritual materials, and pay special attention to the essence and blood of fierce beasts.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, the old man Wuwei hesitated and said hesitantly:
"Your Excellency, when I was out this time, I accidentally heard a piece of news about the whereabouts of the Falling Star Mystic Stone. I'm sure you will be interested!"
Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Oh~? What do you mean? Just say it!"
After getting the affirmation, the old man Wuwei did not hesitate and immediately told the mystery:
"To be honest, when I was trading in the black market, I heard a fellow cultivator talk nonsense after drinking. It is said that there is a small vein of Falling Star Mystic Stone in the Burning Heaven Domain, but it is occupied by a small force. However, because the Mystic Stone is too unpopular, the vein is not valued and has not been mined on a large scale.........!"
"What~? Is there such a thing?"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Tian, who was originally calm, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes, and even more joy that could not be concealed.
After all, with the characteristics of the Falling Star Mysterious Stone, if you want to upgrade your weapons in the future, you will need this item. It is closely related to the strength of physical cultivation, and its importance is almost self-evident.
However, the Mysterious Stone is too difficult to find, and it is really not easy to collect a large amount. Qin Tian has been troubled by this for a long time.
But now, when he was caught off guard, such a surprise appeared. How could it not be a surprise?
