Chapter 92: Love What You Do
Chapter 92: Love What You Do
"Mm-hmm."
Chen Qiu nodded, opening his eyes and raising his sleeves to shake off more than thirty storage rings. He then said softly, "Thank you, old sir."
Since the shopkeeper wanted to act like an old senior, he didn't mind addressing him as such.
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with surprise, "That's quite a lot."
Then, the man's fingertip emitted a strand of spirit energy that was even finer than a hair, barely visible in the dim environment. He picked up a storage ring, closed his eyes, and pierced the ring with the spirit energy. After a few breaths, a faint crisp sound echoed in the silent temple.
"Phew!"
The middle-aged man exhaled lightly, a hint of pride appearing on his face. He placed the storage ring to the side and said with a smile, "It's just the most basic seal. At a glance, it's obviously from Xuzhou. Those from Xuzhou like to make these kinds of seals that are barely effective."
"Low cost and convenient."
Then, he picked up another storage ring and repeated the process, easily breaking the seal again within a few breaths. He said with satisfaction, "It's also a seal from Xuzhou, but this one is slightly more complex. There's an additional seal added by the sect itself."
"However, the person who set this seal is obviously an amateur. They added these seals right on the critical points for breaking the previous seal. It's like you're worried about your house being robbed, so you add another lock to your door."
"I could just break the door down instead."
"No challenge in that."
"Oh?"
As the middle-aged man picked up another storage ring, a hint of battle intent flashed in his eyes. "This is interesting. I haven't seen this kind of seal in many years. You've found the right person. This type of seal has been lost for a long time."
"Not to mention breaking it."
"Coincidentally, I've read some ancient books on breaking this type of seal."
"Alright, it'll take some effort, but it's manageable."
". . ."
Fat Dragon looked at the shopkeeper with a complicated expression. The shopkeeper's neck was drenched in sweat, and his eyes behind the mask were filled with excitement, even growing more spirited as he fought.
Fat Dragon finally understood what it meant to love what you do.
For some reason, he felt that the shopkeeper seemed more obsessed with breaking seals than the rewards it brought. Could this be addictive?
"Great!"
After breaking the seals on more than thirty storage rings, the middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his neck and took a deep breath. He looked up at Chen Qiu and the others with a smile, "I've finished. My divine sense has remained within my body from start to finish, and you can sense that."
"I understand the rules. In our line of work, reputation is everything."
"Since I've completed the task..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Qiu, who was meditating, waved his sleeve again, and another batch of storage rings jingled as they fell to the ground. This time, there were even more, a total of three hundred: "Here are some more. Please trouble the old sir again."
". . ."
The shopkeeper looked at the storage rings scattered on the ground, and his lips twitched slightly. He wondered if these were from a sect that had been massacred. This guy was quite ruthless.
"Um... Young friend, breaking seals consumes a lot of spirit energy. I'm afraid my cultivation is too low..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Qiu waved his sleeve again, and ten bottles of Qi Supplement Pills landed on the ground. "Don't worry, there are enough Qi Supplement Pills. Give it your best shot."
"Thank you, Scholar."
This had cultivated the habit of always carrying extra Qi Supplement Pills with him.
"Phew."
The Shopkeeper exhaled, his face brimming with battle intent. In a solemn tone, he said, "Since it's like that, there's nothing to worry about. Let's begin."
Finally—
Several hours later.
The sky had already brightened with the dawn's light, and the sun was about to rise.
The middle-aged man's face was deathly pale, his lips turning bluish-black. His mask had been discarded at some point, but he didn't seem to mind. His body was covered in cold sweat, indicating that the night had taken a toll on him.
Although his physical state didn't look good, he glanced at the neatly stacked pile of Storage Rings placed beside him, and a sense of pride rose within him.
"Finally, it's done. The sky is about to brighten. Well then—"
"Wait."
Before he could finish, Chen Qiu interrupted again, taking out seven Storage Rings and placing them on the ground with great seriousness, "Here are seven Storage Rings. I entrust them to you, Elder."
"More?"
The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, but his gaze soon fixed on five of the Storage Rings. His voice carried a hint of disbelief, "Are these Storage Rings from a Golden Core Powerhouse?"
He sensed the aura of a Golden Core Powerhouse from those five Storage Rings! The remaining two Storage Rings were also not ordinary; the evil aura emanating from them was almost overwhelming, clearly belonging to a Malevolent Cultivator's personal Storage Ring, stained with countless vengeful spirits.
Without waiting for Chen Qiu to speak, the middle-aged man took a deep breath. His face was filled with determination and excitement as he rasped, "Rest assured, young friend. Leave it to me!"
This was his first opportunity to break the seal on a Golden Core Powerhouse's Storage Ring, which was like an audience with the divine for him!
From Fat Dragon's perspective, he witnessed the middle-aged man first performing the Spring Rain Technique to cleanse his hands before reverently taking the Storage Ring with the Golden Core aura in his hand. As the spirit threads, thinner than hair strands, penetrated the ring, the man's face instantly flushed with an abnormal redness, and he closed his eyes, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Indeed, it's worthy of being a Golden Core Powerhouse's Storage Ring!"
"This Golden Core Powerhouse must be a Poison Cultivator. There are quite a few seals he set up himself, and they are toxic seals targeting the divine soul. If anyone attempts to break them, the corrosive toxins within will instantly kill the intruder."
"One must be extremely cautious. A single moment of carelessness will lead to irreversible consequences!"
"Stimulating! So stimulating!"
"It's truly exhilarating!"
". . ."
Fat Dragon, witnessing this scene, helplessly scratched his head. To be honest, as a customer, he quite liked the Shopkeeper's mental state. It was evident that the Shopkeeper genuinely loved his profession.
As a customer, he appreciated people who were passionate about their work.
However, from another perspective, he couldn't understand why someone would be so interested in breaking Storage Ring seals.
If you're truly interested in seals, why not become an Array Cultivator?
Studying array formations would expose you to even more seals.
Chen Qiu also observed the middle-aged man before him with great interest. He could tell that the man wasn't putting on a show; his passion was genuine, and he was a talented individual. From what he gathered, it seemed that only this man could break the seal on the Golden Core Poison Cultivator's Storage Ring; others would likely struggle to do so.
He admired people who excelled in their chosen path.
