Chapter 852: It's all a big fool
The Shimmering Gold Furnace is a forbidden area for the Zhengjin Clan, and although it is called a furnace, it is actually a volcanic-like subspace driven by a late-level eighth-stage star soul, located in the very center of the Zhengjin Clan's sphere of influence on the western edge of the capital.
There was no one to defend here, but there weren't many people in the entire galaxy universe who could enter here without permission.
Lin Zaishan and Zhu Tianling found and cracked the weak link of the Zhengjin Clan's protective shield in a miniature state, and quietly approached the crater of the Golden Furnace, which was thousands of meters high and more than 100 meters in diameter.
This crater is not connected to the center of the Earth (in fact, there is nowhere else to the center of the Earth except for the natural cavern in the Arena of the Capital of the Oolong Star), and the crater is "self-produced" by the Glittering Gold Furnace.
Lin Zaishan and Zhu Tianling endured the scorching heat of thousands of degrees, and appeared in the crater and looked down.
Lin Zaishan took a deep breath and said to Zhu Tianling: "You are here to condescendingly 'observe', I am going to jump into the volcano to explore." β
Zhu Tianling stopped him and asked, "What are you jumping into the volcano for?" β
"Seek the knowledge of end-time judgment."
"What a stupid! If there is anything you don't understand, just stand here and ask the old man of the golden furnace directly, you don't need to jump in to find the guilt. β
"Will this work?" Lin Zaishan couldn't believe it.
"You'll find out if you try it."
Lin Zaishan immediately said to the crater sincerely: "Senior of the Golden Furnace, I am Lin Zaishan, an earthling, and I have come to ask you questions. β
The golden furnace did not react, and Lin Zaishan said it twice.
With a loud "boom", the crater erupted a heat wave dozens of meters high, watering Lin Zaishan's face.
Lin Zaishan smiled bitterly and said to Zhu Tianling: "This senior of the Golden Furnace has such good eyes, only spray you and I won't spray you." β
Zhu Tianling said: "It seems that his old man is not very welcome to our rash intrusion. β
As soon as she finished speaking, a large amount of magma emerged from the crater, pouring Lin Zaishan again. If it is replaced by the weaker one, it will have been burned to ashes long ago.
Lin Zaishan tidied up his clothes casually, and continued to stand on the edge and watch. The amount of magma spewing from the crater is increasing in volume and frequency. Lin Zaishan was intently observing the magma heat wave erupting from the crater, and did nothing.
Zhu Tianling smiled: "The dancing volcano is so fun!" β
After a few moments, the volcano stopped "dancing". Zhu Tianling reminded Lin Zaishan: "Don't stand stupidly, hurry up and ask the seniors of the Golden Furnace for questions." β
Lin Zaishan said: "The senior of the Golden Furnace has already responded to my question, let's go." β
//////
After the two of them left the Zhengjin Clan's sphere of influence safely, Zhu Tianling couldn't help but ask, "When did the senior of the Golden Furnace respond to your question?" β
"The volcano dance you see is his secret word."
"What the hell did he say?"
Lin Zaishan glared at Zhu Tianling, "Would I be stupid enough to divulge such an important secret directly to you, an observer of unknown origin?" β
"Hmph, I just want to know this secret." Zhu Tianling shook her fingers, and the robin flew out of the subspace device she was carrying, and its huge body was suspended above Lin Zaishan's head.
Lin Zaishan asked vigilantly, "Princess Tianling, are you going to threaten me with a divine beast?" β
"Am I that domineering?" Zhu Tianling deliberately kept a straight face, "I invited the Divine Beast to make a deal with you: if you are willing to tell me what the predecessor of the Golden Furnace told you, I will allow you to ask the Divine Beast a question." How about we pay off and don't owe each other? β
"Deal. I'll start by asking the beast a question. Lin Zaishan had wasted a very high bidding cost trying to get the robin, and of course he wished he could have the opportunity to ask for advice.
"No, you have to reveal the secret of the predecessor of the Golden Furnace first."
"Okay, I'll lose something." Lin Zaishan pretended to be mysterious and said: "What the predecessors of the Golden Furnace told me in secret words is: real gold still needs to be tempered by fire. Overγ β
"That's all?"
"Absolutely."
Zhu Tianling carefully played with this sentence, and said with a smile: "Although there are not many words, there is a lot of information." β
"What did you realize, share it?"
"Don't take my words! Trading is trading, and you can only ask robin one question. β
Lin Zaishan just wanted to politely say "You old man has a long life" to the robin, but swallowed it back stiffly, and asked straight to the point: "May I ask the predecessor of the divine beast: how can our earth civilization pass the apocalyptic judgment?" β
It took a long time for the robin to close its eyes and recuperate before it opened one eye and said in a high-dimensional language: "You'd better not know the answer." β
Lin Zaishan held back the "why" and said: "It seems that your old man doesn't know the answer." β
"My old man has made the answer very clear, and this session between us is over."
//////
Of course, Lin Zaishan was not satisfied, so he said with a smile: "But I feel very close to your old man......"
"Do you want to be close to me? It's simple: first, get my master's consent; Second, exchange it for the causal value you have accumulated. β
"Causality?" Lin Zaishan couldn't help but ask a new question.
"If you want to know how much causal value you have accumulated, I can help you find out. The appraisal fee is 100 causal points. β
"Then please."
The robin's eyes opened, emitting a golden light, scanning Lin Zaishan for a moment, and then retracting the golden light, without saying a word.
Lin Zaishan asked, "Old man of the Divine Beast, how much causality do I have?" β
Zhu Tianling also stared at the robin curiously. You must know that the causal value is extremely valuable to high-level star soul people, and the amount of positive causal value accumulated by a person will be a great help in upgrading and evolution.
The robin opened its mouth and yawned, and replied slowly, "This stinky boy has a positive causal value of 2.22 million. β
Zhu Tianling screamed in surprise when she heard this, and stared at Lin Zaishan with incredible eyes.
Mockingbeast added, "It's unbelievable: his negative causal value is only 2,200 points." β
Lin Zaishan frowned, and complained: "Why are there so many 2 again? β
Zhu Tianling knocked on the door of his head, "Please be content!" Your causality value is so good that even many eighth-level powerhouses across the galaxy universe are difficult to match you, so what else is there to complain about? β
"Really? So your causality isn't as good as mine? β
"I'm not stupid enough to reveal my secret to you."
Lin Zaishan also wanted to continue to ask the robin for advice, but Zhu Tianling decisively took the latter back.
"Princess Sweet Spirit, as long as you allow me to ask the Divine Beast seniors for advice often, I will pay you 100 causal points each time. Can? β
"No way!" Zhu Tianling decisively refused.
"Why can't this kind of good thing of reaping the benefits of the fish?"
"I am under no obligation to explain to you."
"Well, sure enough, it's more than half a sentence without speculation."
Lin Zaishan saw that Zhu Tianling could obviously help him, but he deliberately didn't help, so he simply gave up his illusions about her and focused on his own oolong star strategy.
He thought to himself, "If you listen partially, it will be dark, and if you listen to both, you will be clear." I'd better visit all the wise men and holy places of the five major forces of the Oolong Star and summarize the wisdom of each family. So who should be chosen for the next target? β
The next four targets are: the Celestial Spirit Clan's Scripture Pavilion, the Ancient Teng Clan's Wisdom Tower, the Diaspora Clan's Transformation Pool, and the Imperial Sky Clan's Treasure Vault. In terms of openness, the best is of course the Guteng Wisdom Tower, which is open to the public and can be visited in a grand manner.
Lin Zaishan thought about it and chose the Wisdom Tower as the target. He said to Zhu Tianling in a friendly manner: "Goodbye." "The figure teleported to the open area of the Guteng Clan's sphere of influence.
//////
In the most popular section of the road there is a Wisdom Tower tourist ticket window, where thousands of tourists line up. The organizers can obviously improve efficiency through SAI technology, but they want to use the oldest manual window sales method, which is somewhat of a "hunger marketing" intention.
Lin Zaishan casually followed behind a queue and observed the surrounding scene.
I only heard a young Heavenly Spirit Clan tourist say: "I don't understand, everyone knows that the Wisdom Tower will easily make visitors nervous, but why are so many people still rushing to it?" β
An older Celestial Spirit tourist nearby replied, "That's because everyone is cheaper, and they need and like to be mentally abused and ravaged. β
The young tourist asked rhetorically, "So you're an old man too?" β
"No cheap without you!" The older tourist was furious and rushed over with a slap in the face.
The young tourists immediately fought back, and the two sides quickly escalated from a physical altercation to a contest of abilities, each showing their magical powers, lightning and thunder, forcing the other tourists in the queue around them to retreat again and again.
In Oolongxing, as long as the interests of the authorities are not violated, fights, killings, and goods can be carried out openly and magnificently. Passers-by's attitude towards these incidents is often to cheer and coax, fearing that the world will not be chaotic.
By this time, thousands of tourists had already been intrigued by this sudden violent incident and crowded around to watch the excitement. Lin Zaishan took the opportunity to squeeze to the front of the queue and bought a ticket for a visit with 1 unit of God's blood.
He followed the instructions on the ticket, activated the spell, and then instantly traveled to a large subspace. This subspace appears to be dozens of kilometers in diameter, surrounded by an inky blue background of deep space, and in the center is a towering tree with branches and leaves. The thickest part of the waist of this big tree is more than 500 meters in diameter, and the size of any leaf is more than a few tens of meters. From a distance, it is lush and majestic.
In the canopy, body, and roots of large trees, there are tourists everywhere. Most of the tourists are visiting, some of them lie down in the leaves to rest, some climb into the flowers to taste the honey-juice, and some go into the tree cavity to explore, leisurely and happy. There are also many people who are communicating with the Wisdom Tower, and a considerable number of them are either in deep thought, or in a state of rage and delirium.
"Ahh Why am I alive? Why am I alive? To be or not to be? A Celestial shouted and fell from the canopy of a tree, breaking tendons and breaking bones on the V-particle ground.
Nearby tourists gathered around to watch, and gloated: "Ha, seventh-level star soul person, it's not so easy to commit suicide through free fall. β
Before the discussant could finish speaking, another metal life tourist shouted "Those who love me and the people I love, I am coming" fell from a height, his head straight into the garbage left by other tourists, only half of his leg kept kicking.
"Damn! What are you a metal man playing here to jump to suicide? Don't get out of here! The tourists reprimanded in unison.
//////
Lin Zaishan had not been in the Oolong Star for a long time, but he had fully witnessed all kinds of strange phenomena in the galaxy universe, and his nerves involuntarily became coarse and numb. He didn't care about those who committed suicide and imitated suicide, and looked intently at the Wisdom Tower, the largest and oldest wisdom plant he had ever seen, and clearly felt the other party's extraordinary energy as a late-stage powerhouse of the eighth level Star Soul.
In view of the other party's famous reputation, Lin Zaishan still cautiously decided that it would be better to wait and see for a while. Consciously or unconsciously, he passed by the visitors who communicated with the Tower of Wisdom, probing their words and voices.
SP9, a smart plant that had a relationship with each other before, is asking with respect: "Ancestor, dare to ask me how I can win the favor of the beautiful female plant PS6?" β
"It's very simple, grandson, just chase away all the male plants around her. Since you are a descendant of the same clan, I will not charge you for information. β
"Thank you, Ancestor! I'm going to do it. β
The metal man Gaunt stood upright on one of the leaves of the Tower of Wisdom like a javelin and asked, "Is the Tower of Wisdom a place?" If you can help me find the real culprit who slaughtered Tiangang Star, I am willing to lead the elite of the clan to come here every month to worship you. β
"If you want to find the real culprit, pay 10 million star coins or 100 causal points as a reward."
Gaunt immediately complied. The Wisdom Tower replied, "You just have to keep an eye on that second goods." β
Gaunt saw Lin Zaishan in the direction indicated by the Wisdom Tower, and questioned, "This earthling is the real murderer?" β
"If you want to know the answer, please pay the honorarium again."
Gaunt paid the bill again. Wisdom Tower said: "This second goods is not the real murderer. β
"Holy! I also guessed that he was not the real murderer, if the earthlings had the ability to slaughter Tiangang Star, they would have passed the eschatological judgment a long time ago. I actually paid 10 million Star Coins for common sense. β
The Wisdom Tower smiled and asked in an old and majestic voice, "Do you want to know why I want you to keep an eye on this earthling?" Then let's pay again. β
Gaunt hesitated for a moment, and finally paid another 10 million Star Coins. The Wisdom Tower said: "Because this earthling can lead to clues to the real murderer." β
"I see." Gaunt nodded repeatedly.
Lin Zaishan passed by casually, and heard the conversation between the Wisdom Tower and Gaunt clearly, and thought to himself: "Whether this Wisdom Tower is as omniscient as the legend says, I can't judge; But for sure, he is absolutely good at fooling tourists out of their money. Up to now, none of the three robins, the Golden Furnace, and the Tower of Wisdom have been able to give me a satisfactory answer, and all of them are like big fools. I've got to be careful. β
As soon as he thought of this, the Wisdom Tower actually took the initiative to greet him: "Young earthling, do you want to listen to a piece of advice from me, an old man who has lived countless years?" I state that this time it is free. β
"Oh? Does your elderly person also provide free advice? Lin Zaishan was cautious and skeptical.
The Wisdom Tower smiled: "Of course, my old man has always been tireless in teaching people who are destined. β
"I don't know what kind of 'tireless' method you use? Is it implied that they committed suicide by jumping off a tree? Or wield a knife from the palace? β
