C104 The Secret of the Tears of Crystals
Qin Shi was stunned, he turned to look at Cui Haiyun.
Of course, he was aware of what Cui Haiyun was trying to say. It was none other than the Li Huo Sect's first rank on the Contribution Points Board, Tears of Crystals. Therefore, his eyes turned and he immediately waved his hand at Qi Yu and the others, saying, "Kid, Su Ming, Elder Cui and I have some things to say. You don't need to wait for me, you can go back first."
"Zhou Qin, I'll give Qiao'er to you. If anything happens to him, see how I'll deal with your Little Yu Zi. I might even make sure he dies." Qin Shi didn't even have a proper image of Qin Shi as he teasingly warned Zhou Qin.
Swoosh! A bright red color appeared.
Her bashful look went all the way down to her neck. Although Zhou Qin was a careless and fake boy all day, she was a very conservative woman. Now that she was teased by Qin Shi in public, she immediately felt embarrassed. "Stinky stone, you're courting death!"
"Aiyo, so shy. You said that I'm an old couple, what's there to be embarrassed about?" Looking at Zhou Qin's apple-like face, Qin Shi laughed brilliantly. Then, Qin Shi recalled the time when Zhou Qin had lied to him in the name of her injuries during the second test of the Lihuo Sect, and loudly shouted at him about a knife on her head. He could not help but laugh, thinking to himself, "I hope these two people can cultivate successfully."
These words were from the bottom of his heart.
Zhou Qin rolled her eyes. She no longer paid any attention to Qin Shi and left with Xu Qiao'er.
When the two of them left, Lin Yu also held onto Su Ming and Qin Shang's shoulders. He ruffled his hair and walked towards the side of the disciple's room. After he finished explaining, Qin Shi turned back to look at Cui Yunhai. With Lin Yu and Su Ming around, he was not worried that Qin Shang would run into any trouble in the Lihuo Sect.
"Kid, now that you've completed the Death Forbidden Land and have five hundred thousand contribution points, shouldn't you keep our promise and help me exchange it for Tears of Crystals?" Cui Yunhai said to Qin Shi impatiently while stroking his sleeves.
However, Qin Shi's expression was somewhat ugly.
Previously, when he had agreed to Cui Yunhai's request, it had been a stopgap measure. He had never imagined that he would be able to earn a total of 500,000 merit points in a short period of time. Right now, he did not care about this mere one hundred thousand contribution points. It was just that he was unwilling to part with the most precious treasure of the Li Huo Sect, the Tears of Crystals.
Even if it was an exchange, it wasn't his style to hand it over like that.
"Hehe, Elder Cui, your wishful thinking is quite good." Thinking of this, Qin Shi tilted his head and laughed with a hint of ridicule and mockery in his voice, "Now that the Sect Leader knows about me and the Cloud Tripod Sect, what reason do you think I have to help you exchange your tears?"
Cui Yunhai's face turned ugly, his beard flared up and he cursed, "You stinking brat, you want to break the contract?"
"Of course not. I, Qin Shi, am at the top. How could I possibly be someone who goes back on my words?" Qin Shi shook his head, pretending to be a righteous man. He spread out his hands and said, "Just say it, during the whole process, Elder Cui did nothing but exploit me for a hundred thousand contribution points. I am not happy."
Gritting his teeth, Cui Yunhai unhappily cursed, "Bullshit, why didn't I do it? Didn't you see? In the Cloud Tripod Sect, I put in the most effort, and I put in all my effort to save you.
Despite Cui Yunhai's scolding, Qin Shi was not moved in the slightest. He shrugged and said, "Elder Cui, how about we be on the same side? Back then, it was you who threatened me first. Of course, if you really want this crystal tear, it's not impossible. "
"What do you want?"
At the mention of Tears of Crystals, Cui Yunhai could not help but ask.
Seeing Cui Yunhai's anxious expression, Qin Shi was even more determined. The crystal tear was definitely not ordinary, so he could not let it go easily. After hesitating for a moment, he rolled his eyes with all his might. Under the bright noon sun, he looked very arrogant, "Elder Cui, you know the dangers of the forbidden area of death, I have to put in great effort in order to get these contribution points. Now that I'm willing to take out a hundred thousand contribution points for nothing, I can't help but feel annoyed.
"You … "You are taking advantage of the situation to rob us!"
Hearing Qin Shi's request, Cui Yunhai was so angry that his entire body began to hurt.
However, he had no other choice. Qin Shi was right, the Cloudsoaring sect leader already knew of the enmity between Qin Shi and the Cloud Tripod sect. The previous matter could no longer threaten Qin Shi. And himself, as an elder of the sect, he had no right to exchange for the sect's treasures, nor did he have the right to coerce the disciples.
As if he had already expected this, Qin Shi stepped onto the grass by himself and lazily leaned against an ancient tree. He used the flourishing branches and leaves to cover the scorching sun as he quietly waited for Cui Yunhao's decision.
Finally, Cui Yunhai angrily stomped his foot. Unwilling to give up, he nodded his head, "I don't know what this Tears of Crystal is either. However, two years ago, when I went out once, I found a mysterious cave not too far away from the Fire Sect. There was a stone door in the cave, and the key to open this door was the Tears of Crystal. "
"Oh?"
Qin Shi was quite surprised.
Mysterious cave? This was something that Qin Shi absolutely did not expect. He had thought that Tears of Crystals would be a Mysterious Artifact or an unparalleled spiritual object. However, he had not expected it to be a key. How could a key be worth 100,000 contribution points?
His first reaction was that Cui Yunhai was lying.
"I've already told you, shouldn't you help me exchange for the Tears of Crystals?" Cui Yunhai impatiently urged, "Little rascal, don't lie to me. Otherwise, I won't let you off. Don't forget, no matter what, I'm still an elder of the Li Huo Sect."
Qin Shi lowered his head in thought after hearing Cui Yunhai's words. Finally, he revealed a bright smile and said, "Elder Cui, what are your words? Am I one of those untrustworthy people? Wait a moment, I'll help you exchange for the Tears of Crystals right now. "
After he finished speaking, he rubbed his chest and took out the purplish-gold token.
With the appearance of the token, a golden light rose. Qin Shi then infused his spirit energy into the token to exchange for Tears of Crystals. The items on the Contribution Points Board were all locked on by Spiritual Energy. Thus, after Qin Shi exchanged the tokens, he saw the crystal tear disappear from the Contribution Points Board and appear in Qin Shi's hand out of thin air.
Tears of crystal, blue all over.
Upon closer inspection, they were like blue teardrops, all of them exquisite and crystal clear to the point that they were extremely beautiful. The crystal tear was filled with a bone-chilling cold. Qin Shi felt the air around him begin to congeal as soon as he grabbed it, turning into pieces of ice that scattered on his body. He couldn't help but shiver.
"Hiss, what a terrifying cold …"
"Shitou, this thing isn't simple. If I'm not wrong, it should be from the ancient times." When he felt the cold, even the jade in the book was alarmed.
Hearing the words of the Jade in the book, Qin Shi's eyes lit up as he thought to himself, "Ancient era?"
Half a year had passed since the Evil Demon had entered his body and recovered his spirit vein. During this period of time, Qin Shi had heard about the ancient times countless times. This also made him understand one thing, and that was that everything that was related to the ancient times had no ordinary items.
For example: Burning Book, Meteor Tyrant Body Technique.
Qin Shi had obtained countless benefits from it.
"That's right, but the Tears of Crystals don't seem to be complete and lack a soul." At this point, Yu's eyes turned as he said: "Shitou, find a chance and go take a look at the cave that this old man just came from. I feel that it's not simple at all."
"That's exactly what I was thinking."
Qin Shi would have done the same if she hadn't said it.
Seeing the Tears of Crystals, Cui Yunhai grew excited. With his eyes wide open, he stretched out his hand, wanting to snatch it away.
However, at this moment, Qin Shi reacted quickly and kept the Tears of Crystals back into his Space Ring.
"Kid, what do you mean by this?" Seeing the crystal teardrop disappear in front of him, Cui Yunhai's expression became cold, and a wave of chaotic spiritual energy surged out.
Feeling the spirit energy, Qin Shi couldn't help but take two steps back as he inwardly cursed, "This old fart really has a mind of his own. Does he really think I'm an idiot?" As he thought of this, he shook his head with a fierce spiritual energy, "Elder Cui, don't get too excited. I was just thinking about it. No matter what, this is still 100,000 contribution points. At the very least, let me take a look at the cave you spoke of, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Cui Yunhai's face tightened.
However, there was nothing he could do. After all, Qin Shi had the crystal heart. He was in a passive state right now, so he could only clench his teeth and agree to Qin Shi's request.
When he saw Cui Yunhai agree, Qin Shi's heart skipped a beat. He did not follow Cui Yunhai out of the sect, but went back to his room to talk to Lin Yu and the others. After all, he was not sure if Cui Yunhai had sincerely agreed to his request from the bottom of his heart.
If the old man was in a rush, with Qin Shi's current strength, he would only be able to throw his life away.
When he left with Cui Yunhai, everyone in the Li Huo Sect became aware of his departure. Even if Cui Yunhai wanted to do him harm, he would have to think about it carefully.
After all, if a disciple followed an elder out of the sect and was met with an accident in the end, Cui Yunhai's position as an elder would probably be shaken, right?
For such a face-slapping matter, Cui Yunhai was no fool.
"Kid, you don't need to do that, right?" Cui Yunhai saw what Qin Shi had done and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Ah?" What's wrong with me? What did you say, Elder Cui? " Qin Shi was clearly pretending to be confused and said, "I'm not trying to figure it out. Being able to leave the sect with someone like Elder Cui is a blessing from my previous life. Of course I have to show off. Elder Cui won't blame me, right?"
Hearing that, she felt helpless once again.
The two of them left the Fire Sect. Not long after leaving, they arrived at the cliff that Cui Yunhai had pointed out to them.
This cliff was cold and desolate, filled with a fierce, cold wind, and the sound of a needle roaring through the bone. The cliff was covered in a dusky fog, within which one could vaguely see a fine scratch, as if it had been torn by a flood dragon, covering the cliff in a complicated manner.
Qin Shi shuddered when he forcefully swallowed his saliva.
"Here it is." Standing on top of the cliff, Cui Yunhai released two waves of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was deeply embedded within the cliff, and slowly, they headed down the cliff. After a moment of hesitation, Qin Shi also threw out two strands of spiritual energy and firmly grabbed onto the cliff.
Qin Shi followed Cui Yunhai through the hazy fog of the cliff into a cave filled with bone-chilling wind. Just as he entered the cave, a huge stone door appeared before him. The stone door was filled with an imposing aura.
At the center of the stone door, there was a fist-sized hole. This hole looked exactly like the Tears of Crystals.
