The stone puppet spoke very slowly, and it seemed as if it had to pause for a moment before it could speak, as if it wanted to think about it first.
This caused Yang Junshan to be a little stunned. Compared to the guide child, who was very quick-witted, almost no different from a normal person, the performance of the person in front of him was a little too terrible.
guide child, who was about to throw a mulberry high up in the air and catch it easily, seemed to understand Yang Junshanâs thoughts. While chewing on the fresh mulberry, he laughed: âAs long as you give those two Colourless Crystals to Old Earth, his speech and actions will be much more nimble. Donât underestimate Old Earth, this guyâs abilities are not small, although his abilities are a little worse than mine.â
Hearing that, Yang Junshan immediately took out the two Colourless Crystals that he obtained from the Dao Realm Stone Demon, Mo Ling Ancestor, and said: âI believe that the matter has already been discussed with the boy. Hmm, since Fellow Daoist Dong Tu has mentioned it, then I will not say anymore.
The moment the Earth Golem saw the Colourless Crystal, Yang Junshan could clearly see that the Earth Golemâs huge stone head had broken down many pieces due to the excessive twisting. The âcackle cackleâ sound even made Yang Junshan feel that his skull was about to crack.
âSu-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-su-!â
A dry, screeching sound that sounded like the grinding of sand and rock came out of the stone puppetâs mouth. âAoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo âŚâ
guide childâs lips were dyed purple from the mulberry juice and he said, âIf I donât want to, then I wonât come. But since I have to accept a job, then there must bime limit, since Iâm from the immortal palace, I canât just earn a Dao Realm puppet with just two crystals.â
Yang Junshan nodded, he thought for a while but did not ask about the duration of the hiring, and asked instead: âThen, how long can these two crystals support Fellow Daoist Thick Earthâs normal movements?â
guide childâs mouth was filled with mulberries, causing him to speak a little slower. The Deep Earth Puppet beside him had already opened its mouth and said: âTwo hundred and one years!â
guide child hurriedly swallowed his saliva, but it was already too late to stop the Deep Earth Marionette from speaking the truth. He couldnât help but feel a little vexed.
However, Yang Junshan, who was at the side, had already understood and said: âThen, Fellow Daoist, how about you work for me foundred years?â
âLong, twenty to eleven years!â The Deep Earth Golem said slowly.
âOnly for twenty years?â
Yang Junshan frowned, seeing that the Earth Golem had nodded its head to such an extent, its chin directly touched his collarbone, and another piece of stone fell: âTwenty years is too short, no matter what, the item in my hand can sustain Fellowâs life for two hundred years, Fellowâs words are lacking in sincerity.â
The Deep Earth Puppetâs neck creaked as it twisted towards guide child, saying, âH-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w@@
Yang Junshanâs eyes were fixed on the mulberry in guide childâs hand, causing him to feel very uncomfortable. No matter what, it was better to eat someone elseâs food, especially when he was eating their fruit, and was even scheming against them.
I donât know if this puppet body really knows how to be awkward, but the guide child chuckled and the mulberry disappeared withourace. He then said: âDonât blame me for being short on time, although the two things you provided could allow this old one to last for two hundred years, that is only in the ideal circumstances. Why did you hire this old one? Once this old man fights with someone to protect you, he might be injured. But once this happens, two hundred years will definitely be reduced. Furthermore, it will also shrink greatly. Moreover, this old man has the risk of complete destruction. â
After saying so much, guide child also felt very embarrassed. He changed his tone and said: âOf course, itâs not like we cannot discuss about this matter during this time. How about thirty years?â
Yang Junshan snorted and said: âSmall injuries, if this one is able to do it, I will naturally help him repair it. However, taking into account the risks involved, I will reduce it by twenty years, and as long as Fellow Daoist Thick Earth works for this one for 80 years, this one will yield much more than you, Fellow Daoist, who can receive me.â
âAlright, alright. Who told this child to be greedy? After eating your fruit, then fifty years will pass. There canât be any less.â This old man is after all an item from the Immortal Palace, so no one will notice when he falls. However, there might be a day when he will be found out, and the risk involved is not small.
When the guide child and Yang Junshan were bargaining, the Deep Earth Puppet stood at the side without saying a word, obviously accepting the decision of the guide child. This allowed Yang Junshan to understand that the position of the guide child in their group was probably not low.
âFifty years? âFine, fifty years then!â
Yang Junshan thought that trading two Spirit Stones for a Dao Puppet for fifty years of protection would not be a loss, but he still said: âHowever, letâs put it bluntly, how can you guarantee that you will abide by the agreement? If I leave early or when I am in danger, I will not have a chance to reason with you. â
Just as Yang Junshan said that, without waiting for the guide child to reply, the Deep Earth Puppet beside him suddenly roared out, and smashed the ground with its fist, as though it was extremely excited.
âDonât be angry, Iâll tell him, Iâll tell him!â
âDonât worry, we are puppets, we are born to follow our mission and live to the death without regrets. Although you are only the employer, this old manâs mission will still be effective before he falls.â
Yang Junshan could actually see the resolution in the eyes of the guide childâs puppet body. Thus, he nodded and said: âI believe you, but please forgive my words before, because I do not view the two of you as puppets, but as people, and as fellow cultivators.â
The unhappiness in guide childâs eyes vanished like smoke into thin air. He turned his head towards the Deep Earth Puppet and said: âAll in all, this little guy isnât bad.â
The two gems in Yang Junshanâs hands slowly flew towards the Deep Earth Puppet.
After which, large amounts of stone fragments began to fall off from the thick clay puppetâs body, causing its originally rough and rough body to become much smoother, and its joints, which had been stuck in place for a while, to become much smoother, and its movements became even more fluid, as if the entire puppetâs body had been reborn.
A deep voice came out from the puppetâs mouth. It was obvious that its speech had become much more coherent. However, its speed of speech was still very slow. âI feel that my strength has returned!â
At this moment, the Deep Earth Puppet looked like a âhumanâ. Of course, it was still a âhumanâ made out of stone. There was still a huge difference between it and a real person. It was as if an exquisite stone sculpture had been resurrected.
This time, Thick Earth actually turned and said to Yang Junshan.
âThereâs no need to be so polite. Weâll each take what we need.â
Yang Junshan was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said.
The Deep Earth Golem nodded towards guide child, and said: âThen, what should I do next? To always be by your side? â
Without waiting for Yang Junshan to speak, the guide child spoke first, âThis old man is too conspicuous. If you are certain that there are no dangers, or if this old man can appear by your side in time, it would be best to not let him follow you.â
Yang Junshan nodded, and said: âThen come with me!â
This time, Yang Junshan didnât alarm anyone as he said: âThis is the foundation of my clan. Normally, you will just have to guard this place secretly and protect my clan.â
The Deep Earth Marionette didnât directly answer Yang Junshanâs orders. Instead, it raised its head and looked towards the peak of the Western Mountain, and said: âThere is a very terrifying thing there.â
Yang Junshan laughed and said: âI still need to return to the Immortal Palace. Fellow cultivator, you can stay here, but do not let others know of your existence.â
The Deep Earth Golem spoke very little, and after some thought, it said, âYou can just call me Old Earth.â
Seeing Yang Junshan nod his head, Old Earth started to sink down towards the ground, witint of joy in his tone he said: âLarge scale Earth Veins, very good!â
When Yang Junshan returned to the immortal palace, he saw the guide child eating mulberries in a bored manner.
Yang Junshan looked at him and said: âPuppets can eat?â
guide child glanced at him and said: âSigh, you donât understand!â
âHow many of you are like this?â
âIt wonât do you any good to know!â
âIf I get some other Colourless Stones of the Dao Realm, can I continue to hire other people or extend the duration of their employment?â
guide child was about to throw the fruit in his hand and say: âI suggest the latter, but itâs best not to do that, and donât ask me why.â
Yang Junshan nodded and left, heading towards the oven room in the South Heaven Gate.
In the depths of the endless starry sky, somewhere unknown, only the dim twinkling of starlight at an unknown distance could vaguely make out the outline of the surrounding space. Several meteorites of different sizes floated silently there.
Suddenly, a purple cloud banner appeared and swayed in the air. A cloud suddenly appeared from the banner and like a giant hand, it suddenly pushed againsuge boulder that was not even a dozen miles in diameter. The gigantic boulder immediately began to roll forward slowly, and its speed became faster and faster.
The cloud flag didnât stop after pushing one of the giant rocks. It continued to move until it pushed all of the giant rocks away and rolled them into the distance.
A jade hand stretched out from the void and grabbed the cloud flag. Daoist Ziyuan appeared in the depths of the starry sky and asked, âWhat number is this already?â
âThereâs still a long way to go. Letâs go to the next area!â Taoist Eastflowâs voice suddenly sounded in the air, but his figure did not appear.
âThe direction of these boulders cannot be guaranteed!â Daoist Ziyuan said again.
The Taoist Eastflow replied: âThatâs how it looks more like an abnormal meteor shower isnât it?â
âDo you know something?â
The Taoist Eastflow said indifferently: âSomeone has already died, do you think the people in the Immortal palace can let us go and leave?â
Daoist Ziyuanâs heart chilled. The weak starlight in the sky flickered, and Daoist Ziyuan had already disappeared.
