Chapter 241: The Meaning of Existence
"Revered level 6 merchant boiled water, hello! Very happy we met again! I have already collected the rare elixirs needed for alchemy. This place is worthy of the fairy world, although it has spent all my savings in the past few hundred years, fortunately, it is still a lot. Is our agreement still valid? ”
In the communication screen, the real person of Nanhua who was immortal looked at Li Quan with great anticipation. He looked like he was in the dust, and it was conceivable that in order to collect these rare elixirs, this cultivator who had just ascended to the Cultivation Plane had suffered a lot. But he was excited. Everyone could see the reverence on his face. As long as Li Quan nodded and helped him ripen these elixirs into 10,000-year-old medicinal properties, his path to cultivating immortals would be smooth.
He is now afraid that Li Quan will regret it, then he is busy in vain, and he is afraid that it is unacceptable for him to cut off the possibility of further progress from now on.
So no matter how unreasonable Li Quan's request is now, Nanhua Zhenren will unequivocally agree, and he will do it if he gives up his life.
"Isn't it fast, it's only been a month to get it together? Send it over, I'll take a look first. Li Quan said with a smile on his face.
"Good, good! I'll send you the elixir at once. Nanhua Zhenren's face was happy, and it seemed that Li Quan had no intention of repenting, which made him overjoyed.
As a few white rays of light descended one after another, several plants with strange appearances and strong medicinal fragrance appeared in front of Li Quan, some were long and short, some were brightly colored, and some were black and not striking. "These are the rare elixirs of the fairy world?" He thought to himself.
This time, in order to earn contributions, he took the opportunity to place an order and collected many samples of plants from the plane, including some elixir spirit plants provided to him by the merchants of the Xiuzhen plane. In addition to opening his eyes, he also selected a lot of plants with unique functions and put them into the cultivation garden to cultivate.
But this is the first time he has seen these things in front of him. These rare cultivation realm elixirs are probably rare in many planes, and their value is naturally very high. Nanhua Zhenren is also frank, and he can rest assured that these valuable things will be worn and sent directly.
What Nanhua Zhenren means, where would he not know. Presumably he wanted to make a gamble, and if he made the bet, he was expected to go further on the road of cultivating immortals. If you lose the bet, it's a big deal to be a failure in alchemy, out of sight and out of mind. But this kind of mentality made him admire it very much.
Of course, he would not be greedy for this elixir with his conscience, these rare elixirs are worth hundreds of thousands of energy coins together, and he will not only earn more than this income by selling two ginsengs.
He had previously agreed with Nanhua Zhenren that there would be a fee for helping him ripen the elixir this time, but he has changed his mind now.
First, with Nanhua Zhenren now afraid that he is poor and poor, he must not be able to pay much energy coins. Second, he is not short of money to spend at present, and he still has a lot of energy coins. It's better to take this opportunity to give it to a friend, the other party is also a level 4 senior businessman, and his character is quite appetizing, so it's not bad to make friends.
So, Li Quan nodded and said, his eyes raised from several elixirs: "Okay, these elixirs, I will help you mature into 10,000-year elixirs within a year." Don't worry, it's hard for me. As you may have guessed, I have a special way of ripening elixir. As for the remuneration we negotiated earlier......"
"The pay is good! As long as the boiled water friend can mature my rare elixir into a 10,000-year-old medicinal property, the boiled water friend has requirements, and the old man will do his best! When Nanhua Zhenren heard this, he immediately reassured him.
"That's not necessary." Li Quan smiled faintly and said, "Just leave it to a friend, this little thing is nothing to me." It's just a gesture and a little time. I didn't lose anything. I also have a bit of fate with Your Excellency, and I won't take a penny from the things that are ripe. ”
Nanhua Zhenren opened his mouth and was stunned for a long time. After a long time, Nanhua Zhencai sighed faintly, with a touch on his face, and nodded sincerely and said: "Boiled water Xiaoyou, I won't tell you, the old man is now poor, only a handful of old bones are still useful, if Xiaoyou has any requirements, the old man should do his best, and he will definitely meet Xiaoyou." Considers...... Alas! It's the old man who is stupid. Xiaoyou's affection, the old man wrote it down. In the future, if the old man can make a name for himself in this fairy world, it will all depend on the kindness of the little friend. Your friend, the old man has made up his mind! ”
"The real person is serious. Like I said, it's my hands. It's not that serious. Li Quan said with a smile.
He knew very well what his gesture meant to the other party. The other party can accept it calmly, which impresses him even more and makes him feel that he has not chosen the wrong person. At least the other party is not a hypocrite.
Nanhua Zhenren smiled heartily: "Alas, I don't know how old Xiaoyou is, the old man is nine hundred and sixty-one years old, I think Xiaoyou is young, presumably younger than the old man, if you don't dislike it, Xiaoyou can call the old man Nanhua brother." ”
"I've seen Brother Nanhua." Li Quan said. But I was thinking in my heart, obediently, nine hundred and sixty-one years old, let alone called Brother Nanhua, this is the grandfather's generation......
"Good! Boiled water brother! Nanhua Zhenren laughed, looking very happy, and asked, "I don't know how old Xiaoyou is, can you satisfy my brother's curiosity?" ”
He really wanted to know how old Li Quan was, he actually had such magical powers, and he could ripen the elixir of ten thousand years at will, such an opportunity had never been heard of.
"The younger brother will turn twenty this year." Li Quan replied with a smile.
“……”
Nanhua Zhenren was speechless for a long time. Even his frank temperament can't help but wonder, why is the gap between people so big? He has been cultivating hard for nearly a thousand years, and he has no such opportunity. Li Quan was only less than twenty years old, and the merchant level had already surpassed him, and the future could be expected to be absolutely limitless.
Even he was a little unbalanced. He smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "I really envy my brother for having such an opportunity." Alas, I can't come with envy, I can't come with envy......"
Li Quan laughed at this. He also felt that he was really lucky to meet Lynn. If the basketball game that caused him to hurt his foot, I'm afraid his life trajectory wouldn't be what it is now, right?
It's really amazing to encounter this kind of thing in life.
When he told Nanhua Zhenren about the time it would take to ripen the elixir, he had reservations, and the time given was one year. In fact, it only takes a few days to turn these rare elixirs into 10,000-year years.
Even the closest people are often unable to tell each other in detail. What's more, the two sides are not too good friends, and of course Li Quan will not explain his old background.
In this world, only Lin knows everything about him, including his thoughts at every moment. He also has absolute trust in Lynn. This relationship is more than friendship.
After ending the communication with Nanhua Zhenren, Li Quan sat in the office and subconsciously glanced at the sofa. Usually Lynn would sit there and read quietly. I hadn't seen her in days. He decided to go into the system space to have a look.
His consciousness calmed down, and the next moment, he was in the midst of a verdant woodland with the singing of birds and flowers. The sky is full of white clouds, and the bright sun is shining down. At a glance, he saw Lynn standing pretly by the sparkling lake, and the horse, oh no, a unicorn.
He walked over to Lynn.
"You're here." A few paces away, Lynn turned around and smiled at him.
"Hmm. Let's take a look at ......" Li Quan wanted to say, "Come and see you." He looked up for a moment, then at Lynn, and asked, "It seems to have changed here." It seems to be more open. ”
He could clearly feel that the system space was wider and more complete than the last time he came. As long as you let go of your senses, the plant radar can sweep through this vast woodland in an instant. However, to his great surprise, with the strength of his divine consciousness that could now cover the entire earth, he could not cover the entire system space.
This shows that the size of the system space is already larger than that of the Earth.
"Yes, the 199,317 species of plants you submitted this time have greatly increased the species richness, and the system space has absorbed a lot of energy, so it has naturally become larger." Lynn said. From her tone, Li Quan couldn't hear the slightest joy, although she smiled at him as always.
Li Quan didn't need to ask, he didn't need to speak, because Lin could completely sense what he was thinking.
Lin smiled lightly and turned away, she looked at the sparkling lake, there were already fish and shrimp in the transparent turquoise water, which was unimaginable before. As the heart of the forest, she is not equipped to create life other than plants. And apparently these beings have been born, and the environment in the system space is becoming more and more like a normal world.
"I'm thinking about ......" Lin turned her back, and a soft voice sounded in Li Quan's ears, "You have your ideals, your goal, and you used to protect her." Desire to save someone. I see what you're doing to achieve this goal. Later, in order to protect your world, your race, you hope that they will not be destroyed by intruders. I also see what you do. But what about me? ”
She turned her head and looked at Li Quan with a smile. Li Quan saw a touch of bitterness in this smile, which inexplicably made him feel a little heartbroken.
"But I ......," Lynn continued, "I am a Source Heart. For a long time, I was asleep. Before I was awakened by you, in countless years and reincarnations, I never thought about what the proposition of my own existence, the meaning of existence, was? I am the core of a world, and it is my instinct to keep this world running. But until now, when I see you, what you do for your goals, that's the meaning of your existence. And I found that I never found the meaning of my existence......"
Li Quan didn't know what he was going to say at this moment.
"I got some fragments of my memories back." Lynn smiled and said, "In my memory, there was a great war that destroyed all the worlds. In the end of that world, where no one and no world was spared, my world was also destroyed. I still vaguely remember that it was a very beautiful world. Along with the rest of the world, it was crushed by an inescapable force. The plane turned into fragments, reincarnation after reincarnation, covering memories one at a time...... And also...... You ......"
She raised her head and looked at Li Quan's face up close, her cold fingers swiping lightly across his face.
"What is the purpose of my existence? Perhaps, I will never find the answer. "She still smiled so beautifully, so intoxicatingly. She looked at Li Quan deeply and asked with a smile, "Host, are you willing to help me find the answer?" ”
Li Quan opened his mouth, and Lin chuckled and said, "I know." Thank you. She raised her head again, looked at the blue sky, and said with a smile on her lips: "The world is wider, but I am more confused...... Good thing to have you. ”
……
Game of Thrones plane.
This time, Li Quan returned to the plane of power and travel with only one goal, to completely integrate the chaotic forces of this world and unify this plane.
An astonishing divine consciousness was released, quickly engulfing the entire plane. Li Quan discovered that the overall size of the plane of power is much smaller than that of the Earth. He can teleport anywhere on Earth and is naturally more handy here.
When he appeared, he was outside the Great Wall of Desperation. His mind moved slightly, and in the next second, he teleported to the southwest of the warm continent of Westeros, outside of Kaiyan City.
Daenerys Targaryen promised to march from Meereen to Lannister territory within a few months, and apparently she fulfilled that promise. Li Quan "saw" in his divine sense that many troops had surrounded Kaiyan City, and these people looked like the Second Son Regiment and the Unsullied Legion, and they were Daenerys' men.
But he also observed that Daenerys' army seemed to be in trouble. This trouble seriously hampered Daenerys' attack. Because according to the agreement, when he returns to the Game of Thrones plane in half a year, Daenerys should have already attacked King's Landing. The siege of the Lannisters in Kaiyan means that the situation is not going well.
The powerful divine sense swept silently around everyone, and Li Quan had everything in sight.
He couldn't help but have a feeling that the gods were controlling all beings and that everything was in the palm of his hand. Even those who stand on high-rise buildings and look down at pedestrians will have this feeling of smiling and looking at the clouds, and he has truly achieved the world, the world is in my eyes.
Everything was calm in King's Landing, and the old woman was still sitting on the Iron Throne, playing forbidden love with her own brother.
Everything is normal in the north. Jon is in charge of the Wall, and the Forrester family is in charge of the Wall. Other areas such as the Iron Isles and the Riverlands, Riverlands, Stormlords, Dornelands, etc., have all been conquered by Daenerys.
It seems that only the Lannisters are still resisting, and it is very effective.
Daenerys' army was helpless against the Lannisters who were holding on to Castle Rock. Li Quan happened to witness a complete siege battle, but it was not successful, and the second regiment and the unsullied were still blocked under the city walls, and suffered heavy losses.
After all, the Lannister family's heritage is not comparable to that of several other family kingdoms. The Lannisters usurped the Iron Throne while also inheriting the resources of the Targaryen dynasty and the Baratheon family. It seems that it will be difficult for Daenerys to shake them with the strength she has amassed.
Li Quan knew that he had overestimated Daenerys' strength. The main reason he also thought of. Because of the deviation from the original plot, Daenerys has now led the crowd to attack the Lannisters several years in advance, and her strength when she attacked in the original plot has fully matured, but now, her most important force is not yet adult, that is, the three dragons.
