Chapter 526: Cornucopia
That's when I realized that it was really useful. If he is on his side, he only needs to use a soul searching technique, and this woman's life will be vividly remembered, does she still need such a verbal exchange?
"I recognize the elixir in your hand as the longevity pill, this bowl ...... I don't know its name, but I guess the artifact's ability is to copy what you put in a bowl? But you used it to hold clutter, and the clutter wasn't copied, so I guess, well, there are some more conditions to activate it?"
"The golden liquid you poured into the bowl, I also happen to recognize, it is the condensation of the essence blood extracted from the whole body of mortals, and there are three drops of essence blood in this bottle of yours, which is the life essence of three people. I have heard that the town has been very peaceful lately, and there are hardly any deaths except for the sacrifices of the living and the robbers who come to pray for rain. So I guess...... These three life essences come from the three human sacrifices in the afternoon?"
Ning Xiaoxian stroked his chin: "However, your method of praying for rain is indeed successful." I don't know if you discussed it with the mayor or kept him in the dark, and took advantage of every prayer for rain to harvest three lives and refine the essence into this bowl. ”
When the goddess heard this, she could barely keep her expression unchanged, but her eyes shrank a little.
"When I first saw you praying for rain, I thought it was a little incredible. Even if it was a human monk, it would be impossible for him to create such an abundant amount of rain empty-handed below the primordial infant stage. However, when I thought of the Tengsnake River twenty miles away, the amount of water was actually quite large, so I carefully recalled the oracle bone inscription you sketched with a peachwood sword. Probably the point is the word 'borrow', right?" Ning Xiaoxian said lightly, "What you use is actually not the technique of praying for rain. Rather, it is a trick to carry and turn the rain into the rain, absorbing the water of the Tengsnake River from twenty miles away to the sky above the town, and then turning it into rainwater and falling. Hey, no wonder you don't go deep into the interior anymore, just because the inland towns, the rivers within a radius of dozens of miles have dried up, and you can't 'borrow' water. Naturally, you can't pretend to be a goddess to perform any rain prayer rituals. Am I right?"
The goddess still pursed her lips and refused to speak.
"The art of sacrificing to the heavens is a thaumaturgy that has been handed down since ancient times, and it is even different from the existing supernatural powers. It's not like you can master it. However, even if it is a magic technique to carry rainwater, you mortals have no spiritual power or demonic power, and it is impossible to use it unless you pay a certain price. She remembered the "stormy" magic pen in her storage ring. Duanmuyan in order to be able to use its miraculous effect. At the cost of two-thirds of the life force of the physical body, "I guess, this price is your life force." But you used thaumaturgy to shift the cost to someone else, the sacrificed living, and they paid for it on your behalf, right?"
The goddess finally raised her head and hissed, "You are an immortal cultivator!" but there was no respect in her voice.
"I am. Ning Xiaoxian raised his eyebrows. This goddess is obviously a little knowledgeable, otherwise mortals will call immortal cultivators immortal masters. She continued. "From now on, it's better for you to answer whatever I ask, or tomorrow morning, everyone will know your true colors. At that time, what will happen to those who have been ruined by you?"
The goddess glanced at her, still unrelenting: "Do you think they will believe your words?"
Ning Xiaoxian smiled: "Since you know that I am an immortal cultivator, how can you not know that I have the means of an immortal cultivator? The habit of mortals is to attach themselves to the strong, wouldn't it be easy to make them believe that I am stronger than you?" she pointed to the hidden guard beside her and said, "Although I didn't come out with an executioner this time, this one's ability to clean up people is also very good." If you fall into its hands, within twenty breaths, you will definitely tell me everything I want to know and everything I am not interested in knowing. Would you like to give it a try?"
As if to confirm her statement, the faceless faceless, who was still standing on the table in the form of a human, suddenly reduced to liquid metal, like a stream of flowing mercury wrapped around the arm of the goddess, she resisted the cold touch coming from her hand, and found that this strange thing crawled up to her neck like a snake, and then transformed into a silver shining chain, but this chain was covered with thorns, and it looked no inferior to the vines of the demon devouring vine meat ball.
The chains were tightly wound, and the thorns were sharp, and their skin ached. The goddess looked frightened and did not dare to move.
"It's a silver hinge. Ning Xiaoxian sat down, stretched out his hand and lifted the sea bowl on the table to take a closer look, "Every time you tell a lie, it will shrink once, judging by the strength of your skin and bones, just three contractions, and your head will be cut off entirely." Well, I advise you to cherish these three opportunities. ”
She pushed the sea bowl in front of the goddess: "Now sue me, what the hell is this?"
There was still a little unwillingness in the eyes of the goddess, but the silver hinge made a squirming sound, and the sharp tip suddenly stretched out, stabbing her neck, and immediately a drop of blood oozed out.
Knowing that this thing would really kill her, she quickly opened her mouth, not daring to hesitate any longer.
After hearing the name of this thing on the table, Rao Yining Xiaoxian's current state of mind couldn't help but widen his eyes. There's no way, the name of this thing is like thunder in China. It's called:
Cornucopia!
The allusion she had heard was from Zhou Renlong's "Picking the Lantern", which involved the previously mentioned Shen Wansan, a wealthy man in the early Ming Dynasty. Legend has it that when he was still a poor man, he bought more than 100 frogs from a fisherman and released them into the pond. As a result, this group of green-skinned guys chirped all night, and Uncle Shen went to drive them away early in the morning with a pair of black eye circles, only to find that the frogs were all squatting on the edge of a clay pot. Shen Wansan felt very strange, but he didn't think much about it, he just took this clay pot back to hold water and wash his hands.
As a result, one day, his wife accidentally dropped a silver hairpin into the basin, and it turned out that "the silver hairpin was full and uncountable", giving birth to a basin full of silver hairpins. Shen Wansan was amazed when he learned about it, and tried it with real money, but he also exploded a lot of money. With the cornucopia, Shen Wansan will be able to become rich in the world after that.
The reason why the legend of the cornucopia is talked about is that it is rumored that if you put one or two gold in it, a pot of gold will be born the next day, and a night pearl will be put in, and a pot of night pearls will be born the next day. With it, there are mountains of gold and silver seas, and from now on you can get the most delicious dishes, live in the most luxurious estates, ride the best BMWs, and hold the most gorgeous beauties. If you still have a little bit of ambition, you might be able to use it to arm a powerful team and fight for the world for you!
However, after listening to the introduction of the goddess, she knew that the above passage was purely meaningful. The cornucopia is just a magic weapon, and there are actually great limitations to what it can copy, such as not being able to copy lifeforms. Not to mention high-level objects such as human and animal bodies, even flowers and plants, objects that once had life, and it cannot be copied. In addition, high-level artifacts cannot be copied because they possess spirituality.
Life is the realm of the Creator. Therefore, the function of the cornucopia can probably be used to "gather" all kinds of metals, jewelry, spirit stones, and elixirs.
If it's just like that, it's also a hot baby, but it's a pity that this thing also has to be attached to the same conditions of use, that is, if the cornucopia wants to give birth to a treasure, then the user must be poured into the corresponding life essence, for example, if the goddess wants to copy a longevity pill, it must be supplied with the essence and blood of eight or nine people. From this point of view, it is actually not cost-effective to use a cornucopia to give birth to treasure, because according to the recipe of the longevity pill, it only takes forty years of mortal life to refine a longevity pill, and the cornucopia is so greedy that it asks for seven or eight times the reward to give birth to this longevity pill.
Therefore, the mistake is not to make it produce extremely precious things, otherwise I am afraid that the loss of cornucopia will be greater. Ning Xiaoxian sighed lightly, there is really no free lunch in the world, and the so-called cornucopia will never provide wealth for the master for free. It's just that this thing is still very useful, not to mention anything else, just say that moire steel, thousand brocades and other precious metals have always been priceless, refining the vessel into a small piece can greatly improve the quality of the finished product, if the cornucopia is used to give birth to such a precious metal, as long as it can afford the high remuneration it asks, it is obviously still able to cope with the urgency of the moment.
It only takes so many lives to give birth to a longevity pill. She really didn't dare to imagine how many human lives she would have to take to fill the elixir like the Nine Rebirth Lotus Blossom in the cornucopia, but if the monks knew that there was such a thing as a cornucopia in the world, I am afraid that they would have to pull down their faces and snatch it, after all, if they could give birth to a Nine Reincarnation Lotus Blossom, it would represent the hope of success in the tribulation.
She took a deep breath, "Okay. Second question, where did you get this pot?"
"I stole it from my master. The goddess replied happily this time, her eyes flickered and said, "My master is a master in the Mirror Sea King's Mansion!"
Ning Xiaoxian was slightly stunned, but it was not surprising that this matter had something to do with the Jinghai Palace: "You are just a mortal, and you actually have the courage to steal something from him?"
The goddess smiled bitterly: "Hengzhu is also a person who is dying, and he is always very bold." ”
Ning Xiaoxian looked at her face carefully, a little clear, and then reached out to help her wrist vein, and released his divine power to swim all over her body, and then suddenly said: "Yes, no wonder your face is dark and your body and bones are exhausted, it turns out that the source of life has been exhausted." But half a month, you're going to die. ”
There is no so-called "death without illness" in the world, but the organ failure has reached a certain level, and it can no longer support the consumption of the human body, and life is gone, whether it is Fu Yunchang's mortal relative Ling Fengnan, or the goddess in front of him, the physical deficiency is extremely powerful, and it is obvious that life is about to come to an end.
