Strongest replication

"Brother Zhu, have you heard that a strange thing has been discovered recently in the Lingshi mine 50 miles away from Qingmei Town."

Just as Chu Zhongtian was tasting Qingmei wine alone, a middle-aged man with a pale face, thin body, plain appearance, and a slightly drunk expression whispered to his companion at a wine table with two people not far away.

"Thin monkey, I went out for something some time ago and only returned to Qingmei Town last night. I haven't heard of any strange things happening in the Lingshi mine." Seeing the mysterious behavior of his thin companion, another middle-aged man with a slightly stronger body put down his cup and said with a puzzled look.

"Brother Zhu, you also know that my second brother is a miner in the Lingshi mine. According to him, after returning from the mine, people in the Lingshi mine often disappear inexplicably recently. The bodies will appear at the mine entrance the next day. Moreover, the bodies that appear at the mine entrance are pale without a trace of blood, but they have a satisfied smile on their faces."

The skinny monkey drank a little too much green plum wine. Although he deliberately lowered his voice, his uncontrollable tongue still made his volume louder, so that everyone in the whole hall could hear it clearly.

"What the skinny monkey said just now is right. One of my good brothers died inexplicably the day before yesterday. I saw his body with my own eyes."

Among the other three guests at the table next to the skinny monkey, a strong man in coarse linen clothes hypocritically agreed: "It's a pity that a pair of orphans and widows are left at home without care."

"Ma Lao San, a widow whose husband died, isn't that just what you want!" Facing Ma Lao San's companion, he teased with a lewd face.

"Ha...!" The lewd teasing of Ma Laosan's companion made the guests in the hall laugh. The originally sad and deep atmosphere suddenly fell into a burst of laughter and scolding.

The strange incident that Shouhou just mentioned did not arouse much interest in Chu Zhongtian.

Since crossing and rebirth in this world, Chu Zhongtian has seen the powerful blood demons that rely on the blood of warriors, the blood lake creatures that devour the corpses of warriors, and the supreme strongmen who tear the void.

There is nothing surprising about the corpse that has lost blood and is smiling, so he only listened to a few words and continued to taste the green plum wine by himself.

However, Chu Zhongtian did not realize that when Shouhou said that the dead body had no blood and showed a satisfied smile, the face of Huang Lao in his mind showed a trace of solemnity.

At the same time, the power of the soul quietly enveloped the thin old man behind the counter.

A pot of green plum wine, almost one pound, although the alcohol content of green plum wine is not high, only more than 20 degrees, but Chu Zhongtian, who has strong self-control, got up and started to book a room after drinking the wine in the pot.

"Sir, our inn is different from other inns. The food and drinks in our inn can be paid with gold coins, but booking a room requires spirit stones." Seeing Chu Zhongtian, who was full of wine and food, intending to book a room, the waiter reminded him enthusiastically but steadily.

"Okay, what's the price?" The innkeeper was a strong man who had reached the half-step ten thousand life period. Chu Zhongtian not only did not feel strange to pay for the room with spirit stones, but felt it was natural.

"Sir, there are three grades of guest rooms in our inn." Seeing Chu Zhongtian's natural look, the waiter immediately knew that he had met a big customer, and hurriedly promoted different grades of guest rooms enthusiastically.

"The first tier is the cheapest one in this inn, and only ten tenth-grade lower-level spirit stones are required for a day and a night."

"The second tier is the mid-range guest room in this inn, and ten ninth-grade lower-level spirit stones are required for a day and a night."

"The third tier is the most luxurious, safest, and most comfortable guest room in this inn, and fifty ninth-grade lower-level spirit stones are required for a day and a night."

The lower-level guest room requires ten tenth-grade lower-level spirit stones, and the mid-range guest room requires ten ninth-grade lower-level spirit stones. Chu Zhongtian thought that the high-end guest room would require ten eighth-grade lower-level spirit stones, but he didn't expect that he would still need to pay ninth-grade spirit stones.

The purpose of staying in the inn this time is to break through the eighth level of the Qi transformation period, which requires an absolutely quiet and safe environment, so Chu Zhongtian plans to book the highest-end customers.

The only thing that makes him feel a little embarrassed is that he doesn't have ninth-grade lower-level spirit stones.

In the Chu family, in order to have a deeper understanding of the characteristics of the true essence and increase his accumulation, he used the ninth-grade lower-level spirit stone to restore the scattered true essence, resulting in the consumption of the remaining ninth-grade lower-level spirit stones in the storage bag.

At this moment, the spirit stones in his storage bag are basically seventh-grade and sixth-grade intermediate spirit stones, and the number of eighth-grade lower-level spirit stones is very small.

Although he can also take out the higher-quality seventh-grade or sixth-grade intermediate spirit stones to pay for the room, he understands a principle better, that is, wealth should not be exposed.

What's more, the thin old man standing behind the counter is a strong man who has reached the half-step ten thousand life period. No one dares to guarantee whether he will take a fancy to his wealth.

"Waiter, can I use the eighth-grade lower-level spirit stone to pay for the room?" It was precisely because of his concerns that Chu Zhongtian pretended to be cautious. After thinking for a long time, he took out an eighth-grade lower-level spirit stone and asked with a slightly unwilling tone.

The higher the quality, the greater the value of the spirit stone. How could the waiter refuse Chu Zhongtian's willingness to use the eighth-grade lower-level spirit stone to pay for the room?

"Sir, what level of room do you want to book, and how many days do you want to book?" The waiter asked with a smile, grabbing the eighth-grade lower-level spirit stone from Chu Zhongtian's hand.

According to the market exchange price, one eighth-grade lower-level spirit stone can be exchanged for one hundred and ten ninth-grade lower-level spirit stones, and the most upscale guest room requires fifty ninth-grade lower-level spirit stones for one day and one night, so the waiter needs to know the time Chu Zhongtian has booked in order to help him exchange spirit stones.

This time, the breakthrough in cultivation is only a breakthrough in a small realm, which does not take up much time, so Chu Zhongtian plans to book only one day and one night, but Mr. Huang asked him to book one more day.

One day and one night is only fifty ninth-grade lower-level spirit stones. With Chu Zhongtian's current worth, this amount of spirit stones is not worth his attention, so he followed Mr. Huang's instructions and booked the most upscale guest room for two days and two nights.

"Sir, in Qingmei Town, the exchange ratio of spirit stones is different from that outside. Here, the exchange ratio of spirit stones of different grades is 1:100, which means that this eighth-grade lower-level spirit stone can just pay for the room fee for two days and two nights."

The pain on Chu Zhongtian's face just now, and the means of controlling the momentum to suppress his cultivation to the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage, made the waiter think that Chu Zhongtian might have accidentally obtained the eighth-grade lower-level spirit stone and came here to pretend to be a big shot, so he changed his flattering expression just now and said in a somewhat rogue tone.
