You should do your own things unconditionally, which is your duty. But it's not your own thing, if you want to do it, you have to have benefits, just like overtime pay for overtime, it's fair and reasonable, and it's justified.

If you have to pretend to be noble and don't pay overtime, there is only one consequence, that is, it will not last long, and after a long time, you will definitely be resentful and slack off on errands.

The old man in black understands this truth, so he emphasizes that it will give benefits.

Wu Zhongyuan also understands this truth, so he does not refuse benefits.

The old man in black stared at Wu Zhongyuan's eyes, his expression was very serious, "I can give you five thousand years of life." ”

Wu Zhongyuan raised his head and looked directly at the old man in black, he did not doubt the authenticity of the old man in black's words, because the old man in black himself is a living example, the old man in black can live until now, he must have taken some kind of strange elixir, or it may not be an elixir but something else, in short, it is a thing that can prolong his life.

After a brief exchange of glances, Wu Zhongyuan looked away and looked away.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, the old man in black pointed to the source of the stream, "There is also a nine-leaf green lotus in the pure water pool, and there are eighteen seeds in the lotus pod, and there is a promotion ......."

Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand to interrupt the old man in black, "You should know that I won't stay here forever. ”

"Of course I know that even if you want to stay here all the year round, I won't agree," the old man in black smiled evilly, "You are young and vigorous, and your blood is strong, if you stay here all the year round, good people will become bad people, and there is only that female monkey on this island except the lord, and you can't get close to it." ”

"You've got it all figured out. Wu Zhongyuan was a little embarrassed.

The old man in black twisted his sparse beard under his chin, "That's nature, this matter is good for you, this is five thousand years of longevity, enough for you to be chic and comfortable, and read the prosperity of the world." ”

"What are you talking about that can prolong life?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"You promised?" the old man in black asked rhetorically.

"You have to say what it is first," Wu Zhongyuan said, "but don't live enough by then, I can't die if I want to." ”

"You think it's beautiful," the old man in black glanced at Wu Zhongyuan, "Wanshou Zhu can only prolong his life, not protect himself." ”

"What is a maridol?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I don't know where this thing came from," the old man in black shook his head and said, "It was given to the Lord by someone else, but it was the size of a soybean, and it didn't need to be swallowed, just need to embed it in the intestines, and you will have five thousand years of longevity." ”

Hearing the old man in black say this, Wu Zhongyuan was very curious, "Can I take a look?"

"What's the hurry, it's not too late to look at it in seven days. The old man in black said.

"What do you mean, you're going to leave in seven days?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned and asked, the reason why the old man in black was able to survive for five thousand years was undoubtedly due to the longevity beads, and the implication of the old man in black was that he would die in seven days.

"Why are you still reluctant to me?" asked the old man in black with a smile.

"Are you really leaving?" Wu Zhongyuan confirmed again.

"Death is death, what do you say, I'm at the end of the day, it's time to die. "The old man in black talks and laughs freely, and there is no sadness, only open-mindedness.

Wu Zhongyuan was surprised, "It's too coincidental, if I don't come, you won't die, as soon as I come, you will die, you can't live enough to find death, you keep the marigolds first, and when you can't hold on, I'll replace you." ”

"If there is the slightest possibility, I will not leave the Lord, I am really at the limit, whether you come or not, I will die in seven days. The old man in black said.

"But your future has not been arranged, and the monkey can't do an errand at all......"

"How do you know if it's not going to work?" the old man in black interrupted Wu Zhongyuan's words.

"I saw it with my own eyes, and it left your master and went into the woods to eat the fruit. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"That's when it's hungry, and when it's full, it will go back, and besides, it's not that the Lord can't take care of himself, but he just needs someone to help take care of it," the old man in black paused slightly, and then said, "In fact, choosing it is just a helpless move, it is really a good strategy, there are some things it really can't do, but fortunately, the sky has eyes and sent you over." ”

"I found it myself, what does it have to do with the sky. Wu Zhongyuan said.

The old man in black didn't argue with Wu Zhongyuan, "You just said that you want to, right?"

If you are someone else, you will definitely accept it, but Wu Zhongyuan did not make a decision immediately, this matter is not as good as the old man in black said, but there are pros and cons, once you take over this errand, you have to keep doing it, and relatives and friends can't live for so long, and in the end they will face the situation of being alone.

"How many marido pearls are there?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Two, one for me," the old man in black pointed to himself, then to the monkey crouching high above the ruins, "one on it." ”

Hearing the words of the old man in black, Wu Zhongyuan was a little less worried, since he had two longevity beads, he would not be alone, he would naturally not stay with the monkey for a long time, and when the time was right, he could let the monkey go and leave the longevity beads for others.

"You just said that there is a nine-leaf green lotus at the source of that stream?" Wu Zhongyuan said.

"I thought you forgot," the old man in black stood up, "Let's go, I'll show you." ”

Wu Zhongyuan also stood up, moving his muscles and bones to follow behind the old man in black.

The source of the stream has a small pool, just a few squares, the depth of the pool is about one meter, the shape is irregular, half of the open air, half is located under the mountain, the spring is located in the stone crevice on the inside, there is a strange plant growing in it, the leaf shape is somewhat like a lotus, but it is much smaller than the lotus, there are nine lotus leaves floating on the water surface, the color of each lotus leaf is different, it is divided into red, blue and purple three colors, look closely, the three colors are divided into nine grades, and the nine orders of the ground should be darkened.

In the middle of the nine lotus leaves grow a small lotus canopy, the lotus canopy is turquoise, a little smaller than the ordinary lotus canopy, the number of lotus seeds embedded in it is roughly the same as that of the ordinary lotus canopy, in the twenty pieces, carefully counted, it is eighteen, also divided into nine colors, two pieces of each color.

Wu Zhongyuan bent down and looked inward, "This thing is so strange, did you transplant it, or did it originally grow here?"

"Originally, there were, eighteen seeds were produced in three hundred and sixty years, gathering the aura of heaven and earth, and the aura of cultivation could be promoted. The old man in black had already comprehended Wu Zhongyuan's trivial questioning, "Don't ask me when it was born, it was already there when I first arrived on Xinyue Island." ”

"How can you ...... so small"

"If you dare to ask me why it can improve your cultivation, I'll kick you down. The old man in black was not bored, "I have lived for so many years, and you are the most chattering person I have ever met." ”

Wu Zhongyuan, a big man, was criticized and chattered, his face was a little unbearable, and he defended, "I'm not chattering, I just want to find out what happened." ”

"You have to ask everything to the end, don't bother?" the old man in black waved his hand impatiently, "You just know what it is for, and if you have to figure out how people came here, you go down and uproot it, take it out and scrutinize it." ”

"Okay, I'll pay attention to it later. Wu Zhongyuan accepted criticism, once the ideology is cultivated, it is difficult to change, he grew up in modern times, and always habitually wants to explain the supernatural from a scientific point of view, to put it bluntly, not only to know what it is, but also to know why it is, otherwise it will feel illogical, and his habit is not appreciated by everyone, the old man in black hates his habit very much, so he will limit the number of times he asks questions after he gets bored.

After being criticized, it was a little trembling to ask another question, "The Middle Earth Niu Clan is good at smelting qi tonifying pills, and the effect of this nine-leaf green lotus seems to be somewhat similar to that of qi replenishing pills. ”

"It's not the same," the old man in black shook his head and waved his hand, "The Qi Replenishing Pill takes effect slowly, it takes a long time, and the Nine-Leaf Blue Lotus melts in the mouth and rises instantly. ”

"It's amazing. While Wu Zhongyuan spoke, he found that the monkey was looking over from a high place, so he wanted to ask the monkey if he found that Jiuye Qinglian would come over to steal food, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea, monkeys don't like to eat this thing, and monkeys are naturally afraid of water, and those monkeys in the devil country who like to soak in hot springs belong to a very special case.

The old man in black judged that his surprise was not very high according to Wu Zhongyuan's tone, so he showed disdain, "Blind and short-sighted, I don't know treasures." ”

After Wu Zhongyuan landed on the island, he was either ridiculed, beaten, or criticized, and his mood was very low, and he was scolded again this time, and he was a little annoyed, but he thought that the old man in black would die soon, so he endured it, in fact, the reason why he was polite to the old man in black was mainly because he respected this person very much in his heart, and loyal people were worthy of respect.

"Nine-colored lotus seeds, different colors, different grades of promotion, light red to one order, dark purple to nine orders. The old man in black said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded again and again, in fact, the old man in black's explanation was the same as his original idea, and he also guessed that different colors of lotus seeds could be promoted to different grades.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was still not very surprised, the old man in black frowned, "Did you understand?"

"I understand, even if a person who does not have aura cultivation takes the pale red lotus seed, he can also become a cave god in an instant. If the Purple Qi Cave Abyss takes the dark purple lotus seed, it will have to be promoted to Taixuan. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Why do you eat like this?" the old man in black glared angrily, "Are you a dragon qi incarnation?

"Why am I not right?" Wu Zhongyuan raised his voice.

"What's right, Purple Qi Dongyuan has to advance to Taixuan by taking the light red lotus seed, why do you want to waste that ninth-order lotus seed? The old man in black was angry.

"Can you still eat like this?" Wu Zhongyuan was shocked, everyone has a preconceived habit, he instinctively linked the Nine Leaf Qinglian with the Qi Replenishing Pill, the light red Qi Replenishing Pill was only effective for low-level warriors, and it was almost useless against the Blue and Purple Order.

"Why not, I didn't say it clearly enough, why are you so stupid?" the old man in black sighed repeatedly.

Although he was scolded, Wu Zhongyuan did not fight back, he was immersed in great joy at this time, with these eighteen lotus seeds, it was equivalent to having eighteen Taixuan masters, and suddenly his waist was stiffened......
