The white-eyed old man saw the surprise on my face, smiled slightly, and then picked up the natal crystal nucleus on the stone table, flicked his fingers, and the natal crystal nucleus flew straight towards me, I put it in my hand, and then I heard the white-eyed old man say: "This is Penglai Island's biggest test for us, the natal crystal nucleus of demon beasts." ”

I looked down and saw that this natal crystal nucleus was translucent as a whole, crystal clear, and there was a faint purple aura faintly emitting from the crystal.

But the next moment, I was slightly stunned, first of all, the purple qi that seeped out of the crystal was something I had never seen before, neither spiritual power, nor yin qi, nor demonic qi, and I couldn't see what effect this purple qi had at all; Secondly, even this crystal cannot be penetrated by the divine sense, and there is no other way to see the structure of it with the naked eye.

After seeing that I checked it, the white-eyed old man looked puzzled, and immediately chuckled and said: "Brother Zhao don't need to look at it, we have been in this Penglai Island for so many years, countless Taoist friends and seniors have spent countless efforts to study this thing, and they haven't even found a clue, only know that this natal crystal seems to have a great effect on the tower outside, as long as it collects the natal crystal nucleus of nine hundred and ninety-nine demon beasts and puts it at the bottom of the tower, it will disappear cleanly the next day, and the person who placed the natal crystal nucleus, In a very short period of time, he will break through his cultivation and ascend to the immortal realm. ”

"In this way, this black tower is also a great opportunity, I don't know how many people are stuck in the bottleneck and can't break through, now you only need to collect some natal crystal nuclei to break through the bottleneck and fly to the fairy world, I am willing to do it." After Zhuge Wu heard the words of the white-eyed old man, he said with a little excitement.

The white-eyed old man smiled bitterly when he heard this, sighed lightly and said: "It would be nice if it was so easy, you also saw it just now, hundreds of demon beasts, only one natal crystal nucleus was found, this probability is too low, and the strength of these demon beasts is not low, many Taoist friends have not collected it and become food in the mouth of demon beasts." ”

When Zhuge Wu heard this, he immediately fell silent, judging from the reactions of those monks just now, beast tides like the one just now should often occur here.

"Then how do you distribute these collected natal crystal nuclei?" I asked and pondered for a while, and then said after exchanging the crystal nucleus in my hand to the white-eyed old man.

"Like this beast tide just now, the natal crystal nucleus obtained will be handed over to the Council of Elders for reward, and they will go out to hunt demon beasts and belong to themselves, here, we try to be fair, just, and open." The white-eyed old man said with a smile.

"What about those mortals? How did they end up on Penglai Island? Isn't it true that only cultivators can come in here? I thought about it and asked again.

"Huh...... This is another misunderstanding from the outside world, these mortals are the same as you, they were sucked into Penglai Island by the black fog, although they can't fight, but we are also the same family, and we can't see death without help, so we will leave them here and do what we can in exchange for food. The white-eyed old man smiled.

"Since it's so dangerous here, and it's so difficult to collect the Natal Crystal Nucleus, you could die at any time, so why don't you want to leave? I believe that in addition to Penglai Island, there will be other opportunities on the earth that will allow you to break through the bottleneck. I frowned slightly, then asked with a long breath.

"Leave? If we could really leave easily, we would still be stuck here forever, living this precarious life every day? The old man heard that the two escaped from the mist, your luck is really good, over the years, there are many Taoist friends who are unwilling to stay here, and rush into the fog one after another, trying to find a way to leave Penglai Island, but after these people entered, they never came back. The white-eyed old man shook his head and said with a sigh.

When I heard this, I was speechless in my heart: "Then maybe they have really found the exit and left Penglai Island?" ”

The white-eyed old man shook his head when he heard the words and said, "No, before they set off, they will leave a life card, whether it is life or death, we know best." ”

After hearing these words, Zhuge Wu and I both showed a look of disbelief, and the old man said in a deep voice after seeing it: "The two of my land must not believe it, but the old man must advise you, you can get out of the fog, it is a fluke, don't try again, although there are many crises here, but there is always a chance to live, with the strength of Brother Zhao, I believe that it will not be long before you can collect enough natal crystal nuclei, and it is not impossible to ascend to the immortal realm at that time." ”

I nodded noncommittally, I don't plan to go out yet, that mysterious monk also came to Penglai Island with Luo Xin, and it is estimated that he is still trapped in the fog at this time, but they will come here sooner or later, I can just wait here for the rabbit, and once that person appears, he will be killed immediately! ……

After the white-eyed old man chatted with us for a few more words, I walked out of the hall with a blank face, and at this time, a swarthy boy of fifteen or sixteen years old stood at the door and looked at us curiously.

"You are newcomers, I have been ordered by the elders to take them to your lodgings." The boy said with a glaring of dark eyes.

"Alright, you lead the way!" I chuckled.

The boy nodded, and didn't say anything more and walked directly to a corner of the city, after a while, the boy took us to a stone house, after seeing this stone house, I was slightly stunned, because this stone house is much larger than the general stone house, into the stone house to see, daily necessities are readily available, in a sentence on the earth, you can move in with your bag, this treatment is good.

"This is the place where the elders have arranged for the two of you, if there is anything, you can order me to do it at any time, just call me Xiao Hei." The young man grinned, revealing a small tiger tooth and said, but when he looked at the stone house, there was a faint hint of envy in his eyes.

My heart moved, and I pretended to ask casually, "Xiao Hei, how did you get here, and how long have you been here?" ”

The young man didn't have any scheming, and after hearing my question, he didn't hesitate to speak: "I came here by the terrible black fog when I was passing through the East China Sea with my mother on a plane, and I have been here for almost seven or eight years, and I have forgotten the specific time. ”

"Seven or eight years? Then you were only seven or eight years old when you were sucked in, so what about your mother, it shouldn't be easy to take care of you here. I was slightly surprised.

When the young man saw me mention his mother, a trace of hatred suddenly flashed in his eyes, although the young man quickly covered up the past, but he was still caught by me, and the young man said with a smile: "The two elder brothers have a rest first, the elder has ordered, you must be treated well, I will go and bring you food." ”

The boy didn't answer my question, and after saying this, he trotted away, my heart moved, it seems that this is not so harmonious on the surface, from the boy didn't mention his mother, plus that strong hatred, I'm afraid his mother is already more auspicious, it depends on whether his mother died in the mouth of the demon beast, or......

"The boy should be back in a while, you can rest here for a while, and when he comes, talk to him well, and maybe get a lot of unexpected news." I turned my head to Zhuge Wu and said.

"So what are you going to do?" Zhuge Wu wondered.

"I'm going to go around other places, especially the tower, I'm curious, I have to take a closer look, if you want to come together, it's not impossible, as long as you don't worry about what happens." I said without looking back as I walked out.

After hearing my words, Zhuge Wu suddenly remembered the previous loss of mind, and suddenly changed his words, and said with a haha: "What, I heard that the fish and shrimp here are rare good things, and they are naturally of no use to you, I have to taste it well, you go, go early and return early!" ”

I chuckled at this, looked around for a moment, and strode toward the black tower in the middle.
