Chapter Twenty-Six: News of the Centennial Elixir
As soon as the morning dawned, the three of them were already on their way.
According to the guidance of the middle-aged man, before lunch at noon, the three of them came to a cliff in the depths of the Wild Wolf Valley.
Countless small white flowers are blooming in front of the left side of the cliff, which looks like a silver ocean from a distance, and a faint fragrance wafts in the air.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here, I can't imagine that there is such a beautiful place in Daqing Mountain. The pillar shook his nose vigorously, his face intoxicated.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, turned to Long Zun on the side and said, "These flowers are silver flowers, every time I come here and smell the fragrance of these flowers, I feel as if I am several years younger." ”
Long Zun nodded.
What the pillar and the middle-aged man saw were the beauty of the silver flowers, and what he smelled was the fragrance of the silver flowers, but what he felt was the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from this silver sea.
He walked over, bent down to pluck a silver flower, put it in his mouth, chewed a few bites, and swallowed it, a faint warm current rose from his body, and soon disappeared again.
"Too little Reiki doesn't help me much. The expression of joy on Long Zun's face disappeared, and he shook his head secretly.
The middle-aged man standing farther away didn't hear Long Zun's muttering, but he noticed that the previous joy on Long Zun's face had disappeared.
He was old and refined, and he was already accustomed to observing words and feelings, and he immediately understood that these silver flowers in front of him could not satisfy Long Zun.
"These silver flowers are not what you are looking for?" the middle-aged man asked tentatively.
I saw Long Zun shake his head and said in disappointment: "These silver flower aura is too little, and it is of little use to me. ”
The silver sea formed by the silver flowers in front of him seemed to have a lot of silver flowers, but the aura contained in these silver flowers was not even as good as the elixir he stole from the Long Family's Treasure Pavilion, even if he ate all this silver sea, it would not help much to improve the mysterious power in his body.
He turned his head, stared at the middle-aged man with eager eyes, and continued, "In addition to these silver flowers, are there any elixirs with stronger aura?"
"This ......" The middle-aged man looked to the side, slightly hesitating.
"Uncle, I really need these elixirs, if Lao Zhang knows where they are, please tell me. Long Zun said earnestly, reaching out and taking out a gold leaf from his body and stuffing it into the middle-aged man's hand.
The middle-aged man touched the gold leaf in the palm of his hand, and a gold leaf was enough for his family to eat and drink for half a year.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "I don't know what the aura you are talking about, but the last time I led the way for the people of the Li family, I heard them mention that there is a century-old elixir in the depths of the Wild Wolf Valley, and then I don't hear it too clearly." ”
Hearing that there might be a hundred-year-old elixir in Wild Wolf Valley, Long Zun was overjoyed, and immediately suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked, "Is the Li family you said the Li family in Tiancheng County?"
The middle-aged man said: "Isn't it the Li family, outside of the Li family in Tiancheng County, where is there anyone else who dares to call themselves the Li family." ”
Long Zun let go of the last trace of doubt in his heart, the Li family, one of the three major families in Tiancheng County, said that there is a hundred-year elixir in the Wild Wolf Valley, so there must be at least one hundred-year elixir in the Wild Wolf Valley.
Thinking of this, Long Zun waved at the middle-aged man and said, "Please also ask the old man to lead the way and continue to go deep into the Wild Wolf Valley." ”
"Well, that's not going to work. The middle-aged man dodged to the side and said, "Don't hide it, I really can't do anything if I go inside, and I don't know what it's like inside." ”
When Long Zun heard the middle-aged man shirking it, he thought it was because the money was not enough, so he reached into his arms and took out a gold leaf and handed it to the middle-aged man, "This gold leaf is the cost of the old man's back." ”
The middle-aged man reluctantly looked at the golden leaves shining in front of him, then turned his head to look at the pillar not far away, and finally shook his head, "I haven't been inside either, and I really can't help if I go inside, so forget it." ”
Long Zun saw that the middle-aged man was indeed unwilling to continue to go deep into the Wild Wolf Valley, so he no longer insisted on it, only stuffed the golden leaf in his hand to the middle-aged man, thanked him again, and turned around to go deep into the Wild Wolf Valley alone.
When Long Zun walked away, Zhu Zi noticed that something was wrong, and leaned over to the middle-aged man and said, "What's the matter, Second Uncle, won't he go with us?"
"Well, if you don't go together, it's too dangerous to go in further, it's not for us hunters to go in at all, forget it, let's go down the mountain and go home. The middle-aged man didn't look at Long Zun in the distance, turned around and walked back along the same road.
"But we haven't hunted the prey yet, didn't we say that we would hunt some prey and sell it back?" The pillar was too far away from De Longzun and the middle-aged man at that time, and he didn't know anything, so he asked puzzled.
"No, there's enough prey. The middle-aged man pinched the two gold leaves in his hand and said without looking back.
"Where is the prey?" Zhu Zi looked at his empty hands, and then looked at the middle-aged man who did not have the slightest prey on his body, very puzzled.
However, he still hurried after the middle-aged man and returned along the same path together.
After Long Zun left the silver sea composed of silver flowers, he continued to go deep into the Wild Wolf Valley, holding the machete given to him by the middle-aged uncle and nephew earlier, and walked carefully in the valley.
After walking about five or six miles, the position with the black ring on his right finger suddenly felt like it had been pierced by the tip of a needle, and a tingling pain spread throughout his body.
Long Zun stopped, looked down at his right hand, then the pain disappeared, he flicked his wrist twice, and saw that there was no big problem, so he didn't care and continued on the road.
Walking more than a hundred meters away, the pain of the pinprick once again poked the knuckles under the black ring.
He frowned, stopped, grabbed the black ring with his other hand, and pulled it out with all his might, trying to see if there was anything under the black ring.
What he didn't expect was that his left hand exerted several strokes, and the black ring seemed to grow on his right hand, not moving at all.
"What's going on? I could have taken it down before. He continued to push hard, trying to pull the black ring off the fingers of his right hand.
As he pulled out the ring, he faintly heard a conversation coming from behind him.
Reluctant to meet strangers, he didn't bother to compete with the ring in his hand for a while, but looked left and right, and found that there was a small bush more than half a man tall near the cliff.
He trotted over, leaning low behind the bushes.
After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard in my ears, and the sound of conversation became clearer.
"That elixir should be ripe! When the time comes, let's take out the elixir and give it to grandpa for his birthday." ”
"Well, count the days, the maturity period of that elixir is in these two days, and it will definitely be in time for Grandpa Tai's birthday banquet, but I wonder why Iron Orion and their uncle and nephew are also in Wolf Valley. ”
"What is there to wonder, the Tie family is a hunter, what is so strange about coming to the Wild Wolf Valley to hunt. ”
"Maybe I'm thinking too much, but I always feel that it's not that simple, do you think that anyone will know that there is a hundred-year elixir in the Wild Wolf Valley, and let the Iron Orion lead the way into the Wild Wolf Valley. ”
"Okay, don't think about it, such a secret place, as long as you haven't said it, I haven't said it, who would know that there is a hundred-year-old elixir hidden here......"
The footsteps skimmed by, and the sound drifted away, and no words could be heard again.
Long Zun sat up from behind the bushes, his head exposed, and looked at the two figures that were gradually moving away.
