"The water of life?"
A slight moan came out of Fang Mingwei's mouth, and this sound contained too many and too complex meanings that even Master Benfica and the others couldn't understand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fang Mingwei's hands were clenched, his nerves were tense, and he didn't dare to relax at all, because he was afraid that if he relaxed, then he would not be able to help but take out the same thing on the spot.
He was very familiar with this golden drop, and he had never taken it seriously at all, because he could have made it himself, something that was so highly valued by the Benfica master and the Prince of Fixington.
Of course, if you want to make this thing, you need certain conditions.
That is, to go to the beast territory, to the statue of the ancestor of the genetic man, and absorb and condense the mysterious energy contained in it, so as to refine a drop of such a golden liquid.
Suddenly a poignant pattern flashed in his mind, and the endless zombies slowly crawled into the lair of the beast leader, and countless pious genetic people shouted the name of the ancestor and fled frantically.
The skin shriveled and atrophied inch by inch, and became tough as old skin.
A large number of genetic people died unexpectedly, so that under the illumination of the ghost eyes, countless zombies appeared in the endless red cloud.
Seemingly endless prayers were heard from all over the planet, and wisps of mysterious energy surged in the direction of the Ancestor Statue.
The inexplicable force formed an invisible line of defense outside the beast leader's lair, making it impossible for the red clouds in the sky to enter at all.
A trace of energy was extracted by him, converted into internal strength in the body, transformed into spiritual power, and finally precipitated and condensed, turning into a golden liquid.
Fang Mingwei's eyelids twitched slightly, and the moment he saw the water of life, he seemed to have returned to the Etdo Beast Territory again.
That madness brought him indelible traces, and it was that massacre that destroyed the surname that allowed him to learn the true secrets of many genetic people.
It's just that he never imagined that the golden liquid he inadvertently collected turned out to be the legendary water of life.
"Hoo ......"
Wang Ziqiang exhaled softly and exclaimed, "What a powerful energy." โ
Fang Mingwei was stunned in his heart, and his spiritual sense swept over the golden liquid, and he also felt the huge energy contained in it.
However, this energy is not a big deal, because of the more than ten drops of life water he collected, each drop contained no energy under it.
In other words, only when that mysterious energy is condensed to a certain extent will it manifest itself in this way.
At this moment, countless thoughts once again turned in his mind, and it turned out that the thing extracted from the mysterious energy was called the water of life.
And listening to their tones, it seems that this eaux-de-vie has an incomparable effect, and the effect is so great that even the Benfica master admires it.
Master Benfica gently stroked the jade bottle in his hand, and his voice contained infinite nostalgia for the past.
"Kaiyue's expedition team endured a lot of hardships in the ruins, and finally obtained two drops of the legendary water of life. By the grace of His Majesty, I was given a drop before I hit the twentieth level. But I'm ashamed that I failed......"
Wang Ziqiang lowered his head slightly and comforted: "Teacher, the spiritual power of level 20 is the limit of the human body, even if it is not successful for the first time, it is nothing." โ
Master Benfica smiled bitterly and said, "I also understand this truth, but after all, a drop of precious water of life was wasted, so the remaining drop must not be wasted on me again." โ
"Master Benfica, your contribution to the Empire is incomparable, and it is definitely not enough to compensate for it with two drops of water of life." Prince Filmington said solemnly: "Your Majesty has also given you this second drop of water of life, which is enough to explain everything. โ
Master Benfica let out a long sigh, looked at the jade bottle in his hand, and his eyes were full of complicated looks: "Level 20, this thing is a necessary treasure for hitting level 20, and it must not be wasted." โ
Fang Mingwei's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Master Benfica, can't you hit the twentieth level without the water of life?" โ
"Nope." Benfica said without hesitation: "For some gifted people, even without any auxiliary drugs, they can hit the highest limit of the human body with great power. Even ......"
Fang Mingwei's eyes lit up and asked, "Or even what?" Is it breaking through level 20? โ
"Don't talk nonsense." Wang Ziqiang drank softly and said, "Level 20 is already the peak limit of human beings, and it should be impossible to break through." When he said the last sentence, even he showed a look of uncertainty.
Master Benfica obviously hesitated for a moment, and said, "According to ancient records, it seems that there have been humans in this universe who have surpassed level twenty. โ
"Really?"
"Yes, it seems that among the ancient humans, there are certain methods that can help humans break through the human body's restraints and reach a mysterious realm, and at that time, they can surpass the twentieth level."
Fang Mingwei was dazed when he heard it, and glanced at Wang Ziqiang, only to see that his expression was not much better than his own.
All along, the education they have received has been the same, and level 20 is already the limit of human beings, and it is impossible to continue to break through upward.
This view is not only accepted by people who are inferior in cultivation, but the more high-ranking people are, the more they believe in this sentence.
Because as their cultivation level increased, the higher they went up, the more difficult it became.
Over time, they have even lost the confidence to continue to improve.
For example, Wang Ziqiang, Yang Ming Moth and Mr. Yan, in the eyes of others, the eighteenth-level physical powerhouse is almost already standing at the pinnacle of human society.
However, only they understand that if there are no adventures, then this is the end of their lives.
Moreover, with a supreme genius like Master Benfica, with the help of the Water of Life, he couldn't even break through to level twenty, let alone surpass the twenty-level of human body beams.
Therefore, when they heard about the ancient times, there were still people who could reach level twenty-one or above, and their hearts were naturally difficult to calm down.
Fang Mingwei looked at the jade bottle in Master Benfica's hand and suddenly asked, "How are these water of life made?" โ
"I don't know." Master Benfica shook his head slightly, and said, "No one can grasp the source of the water of life, these things are all searched in the ruins, and every drop used is one drop. โ
"The inheritance of the relics?"
"yes."
Fang Mingwei's brows furrowed, and he said, "Even if we can't make it now, but in ancient times, there were always people who could make it." โ
Master Benfica hesitated for a moment and said, "I once went to the Ritan Empire, a ninth-level civilization, to check some information. According to the records inside, these waters of life seem to have been passed down by humans who have broken through the twentieth level. โ
"Ahem...... cough cough ......" Fang Mingwei choked in his throat and coughed violently.
Wang Ziqiang frowned, patted Fang Mingwei lightly on the back, and said, "Be careful, what the hell are you doing?" โ
Indeed, as a master of the physical arts, it is really embarrassing that he can cough like this.
However, Fang Mingwei's heart was extremely shocked at the moment, if he hadn't taken the opportunity to cough to cover up, then the look on his face would definitely arouse their suspicions.
Water of Life, if Fang Mingwei hadn't miscalculated, in this universe, apart from him, it seemed that there was only one person who had the ability to collect the Water of Life.
That person is the ancestor of the genetic people who created the beast territory, built the nest of the beast leader, and laid down the white mist channel, leaving countless legacies.
However, listening to what Master Benfica said, it seems that this water of life was actually left behind by one of the strongest human beings.
Could it be that the strongest one is actually the ancestor of the genetic man?
This is a ridiculous inference.
Wang Ziqiang had been silent, but at this moment, he couldn't help asking: "Teacher, how many strong people are there?" โ
Fang Mingwei's ears suddenly pricked up, yes, if there is more than one powerhouse above the twenty-first level, then it can explain all this.
Master Benfica gently put the jade bottle in his hand on the ground and said, "According to the records, although the number of people back then was not much, it should not be too small. โ
Wang Ziqiang's eyes showed a firm conviction, and he raised his head and said: "Teacher, since the predecessors were able to break through the limit, then I believe that we can too." โ
Master Benfica finally showed a smile from his heart, and said, "Okay, this is my good disciple." After a pause, he said: "However, it is said that those ancient human beings who broke through the limit used a magical method to speed up their cultivation, and when they broke through the ultimate limit of the human body, they also relied on ......" He frowned, organized the thoughts in his head, and said: "Relying on the power of the masses. โ
Wang Ziqiang was stunned for a moment, and he asked in surprise: "Teacher, what is the power of the masses?" โ
Master Benfica's old face flushed slightly, and said, "I don't understand either, but it is recorded above, it seems that many people have given them something to help them cultivate." โ
Fang Mingwei's gaze suddenly fell on the water of life that was randomly placed on the ground.
Noticing his movements, Wang Ziqiang's eyes lit up, and he said: "Water of Life, that's right, only the Water of Life can constantly reincarnate people." โ
Master Benfica also stared at the jade bottle on the ground, but he meant the opposite: "We have no way of inquiring about the production of the eaux-de-vie, and all of this information has been lost to the Destruction Surname. But you say that many people give them the water of life, is that possible? โ
Wang Ziqiang was stunned, and was suddenly speechless.
Yes, even in ancient times, the eaux-de-vie were the most precious treasures, and it would be impractical to say that all human beings possessed such treasures.
Fang Mingwei was silent, but his heart was bright.
If his guess is not wrong, those human beings who were able to break through the limits in ancient times did use the power of the vast masses of people, and it was really the power of this water of life.
However, they did not directly extract these powers, but used a special means to convert the mysterious energy emitted by the vast majority of ordinary people into their own internal strength or spiritual power.
Only in this way can they break through the human body's beam and reach the point of surpassing level 20.
Raising the wine glass in front of him and taking a sip of the ice and snow wine inside, Fang Mingwei suddenly remembered something and asked, "What happened to those masters who broke through the twentieth level?" Are they still alive? โ
Wang Ziqiang was stunned and said, "It's been so long, they probably died a long time ago." โ
"Won't they survive by some means?" Fang Mingwei asked suspiciously: "Since they have surpassed the limits of the human body, it is naturally impossible to treat them according to the standards of ordinary people." Don't they have a way to survive? โ
Master Benfica was stunned for a while, blinked his small eyes twice, and suddenly asked mysteriously: "Do you really want to know?" โ
"Of course." Fang Mingwei said with a little excitement.
If the ancestor of the genetic man is really one of the humans who broke through the limits of the human body, then maybe he also has a chance to survive. Then Fang Mingwei really wanted to ask him what his purpose was in doing this.
"Okay, ambitious." Master Benfica gave a thumbs up and said, "When you become one of the human beings who have surpassed the twentieth level, remember to tell me the answer!" โ
โโโc๏ฟฅยงโฆโฆโ
Fang Mingwei's face was extremely interesting, and he said fiercely: "You don't even know. โ
"Of course I don't know." Benfica said with an innocent face: "My strength can't even reach level twenty, let alone surpass the limit of the human body, so of course this question can't give you an answer." โ
Fang Mingwei's eyes rolled upward, and he had the urge to use the one-hit technique to punch the past.
Since you don't know, forget it, and put on such a mysterious appearance, isn't that a sincere attempt to mislead yourself?
"Alright." Master Benfica comforted, picked up the jade bottle placed on the ground, and asked, "Do you want to either?" โ
Fang Mingwei was stunned, Wang Ziqiang was also stunned, Prince Filmington wanted to speak and stopped, looked at Fang Mingwei deeply, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.
"...... you" Fang Mingwei asked incredulously, "You mean, you want to give me this water of life?" โ
"yes, do you want to?"
"I don't want to." Fang Mingwei said categorically without hesitation.
"Huh?"
This time, it was the turn of the Benfica master and the Prince of Bloomington to look at each other.
Since they knew the purpose of the water of life, it was too unexpected for them to have people who had no greed for it.
Prince Bloomington pursed his lips twice and said, "Master Fang, you may not understand the wonderful use of this water of life, once you take this thing, your physical fitness will be greatly improved. Moreover, this is the only treasure that a high-level cultivator can promote. โ
Fang Mingwei shook his head resolutely and said, "I have a large number of beast treasures in my hands, and I can also improve my chances of promotion." โ
"No way, the beast treasure can't be compared to the water of life." Prince Bloomington said solemnly: "And when your cultivation reaches the eighteenth level, the beast treasure will basically not have any effect on you." But this water of life is different, even if you become a level 20 powerhouse and want to surpass the limits of the human body, then you can also use the water of life! โ
Fang Mingwei still shook his head firmly and said, "Even if that's the case, I don't want it." โ
Prince Filmington's mouth was dry, but he still couldn't impress Fang Mingwei, and he asked angrily, "Why don't you want to?" โ
"Nothing is now diligent, not a thief."
Prince Bloomington blew his beard angrily and glared, looking at the entire Kaiyue Empire, he couldn't find a second person who dared to talk to him like this.
However, now the Empire still needs him to train beast controllers and create perfect beast treasures, so although Bloomington is angry, he will not make any drastic moves.
Wang Ziqiang looked at his expression, and hurriedly apologized: "Your Royal Highness, I'm really embarrassed, Ming Wei is open-mouthed, and I must teach him a good lesson later." โ
"No need." Prince Bloomington shook his head slightly, and sighed: "I can't imagine that there are still people who can't look down on what makes all the masters fight for it, it's really ......"
Fang Mingwei smiled slightly embarrassedly and said, "Your Royal Highness, it's not that I don't look down on it, but your country has already given me too high compensation, if I am greedy for this drop of water of life, then I really deserve it." โ
His eyes glanced in the direction of the jade bottle, but he was glad in his heart, if he didn't have more than ten drops of such a thing on his body, and he was sure that he could condense and refine it at any time, then he might not be able to persist under the temptation of Master Benfica.
Master Benfica suddenly interjected: "Fang Mingwei, we don't need you to do anything, we just hope that you can settle in the capital of Kaiyue in the future." โ
"Settle there?" Fang Mingwei's heart was shocked, although it was a little more prosperous, it was far less comfortable than here.
Master Benfica looked forward to it, and said: "As long as you can agree to this condition and settle in Kaiyue for half of the year, then I will be in charge of sending you this drop of water of life." โ
Fang Mingwei lowered his head, he seemed to have gone through a strong ideological struggle, and finally raised his head and said, "Master Benfica, I'm sorry. โ
The Benfica master suddenly showed a look of disappointment in his eyes and asked, "Why don't you?" Isn't the Kaiyue Empire worth your visit? โ
"No, Kaiyue has done his best for me, a little person, and I am also sincerely grateful to you, Master Benfica."
"In that case, why don't you accept my kindness?"
"Because ......" Fang Mingwei suddenly dragged out his voice and said heavily: "Because I'm not satisfied with level twenty." โ
Master Benfica's body trembled slightly, and he asked, "What did you say?" โ
Fang Mingwei raised his head, his eyes flashing with a moving gleam: "Master Benfica, if I accept your kindness, then when my spiritual power is raised to the nineteenth level, I will definitely not be able to help but use this drop of life water." Then even if I manage to make it to level 20, I will regret it for the rest of my life. โ
Benfica stared at him tightly and said word by word: "You...... Is it going to hit the twenty-first level? โ
"Exactly." Fang Mingwei's face was full of confidence, which was an absolute belief from the depths of his heart: "I believe that there is no reason why I can't do what my predecessors can do." โ
The three people in the room looked at him silently, each with a different look in their eyes.
In the face of Fang Mingwei's sudden self-confidence, each of them had a deep feeling.
Benfica's old hand finally retracted, he sighed deeply, and said, "Self-improvement, we ...... It's all old. โ
Wang Ziqiang lowered his head slightly, but his eyes were full of pride: "Teacher, Mingwei is still young, please forgive me." โ
Prince Bloomington snorted coldly and muttered in an extremely low voice: "This kid, where did you get so much confidence." โ
However, although his voice was low, it could not hide from the three masters in the room.
Fang Mingwei smiled silently, if you want to say where did his confidence come from, of course, it was because of the inheritance of the necromancy!
Now that he knew that the mysterious energy on the Ancestor Statue could refine the water of life, it meant that he could obtain an endless supply of water of life from now on. Now that he has this as his confidence, he is of course full of confidence, and he will no longer be afraid of the hardships of the future.
Twenty-one, wait, I can do it......
There are no promises, no blood-boiling declarations, but the way they smile has left an indelible impression on the hearts of Benfica and others.
At this moment, the three of them all had a feeling that Fang Mingwei would definitely be able to fulfill his promise.
Shaking his head slightly, Bloomington cursed a few times in his heart, let alone the twenty-first level, even if it is the top master of the twenty-first level, only those ninth-level civilized countries will have one or two.
The more I lived, the more I went back, and I would believe in a little broken child...... He glanced at Fang Mingwei again, and a completely different feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.
Perhaps, this kid can really accomplish this miracle, right?
Glancing at Master Benfica, thinking of a series of incredible things that Fang Mingwei had done before, they seemed to have a little more certainty in their hearts.
Fang Mingwei's cultivation at this moment had reached an extremely high level, when he believed in one thing with all his heart.
Even if this thing is too ridiculous, it will naturally make people feel a lot of hope.
Sometimes, even if they know that they are in a desperate situation, as long as there is a glimmer of life, people will not give up. What's more, judging from Fang Mingwei's consistent performance, maybe there will really be a miracle.
"Good boy, good ambition."
Master Benfica withdrew the jade bottle in his hand and praised it heartily.
The three of them noticed at the same time, and when Fang Mingwei said those words, he didn't cast a nostalgic gaze on this jade bottle from beginning to end.
This is not deliberately avoiding this jade bottle, but looking at this precious drop of life water, it is like seeing a most ordinary thing, without the slightest greed.
Wang Ziqiang took a deep breath, and a trace of shame appeared in his heart.
Unexpectedly, after hundreds of years of penance, his mind and bearing are not as good as this disciple who is less than thirty years old!
When he saw the jade bottle in Benfica's hand, he inevitably had a greedy idea for himself, but looking at others, there was no impurity in those clear eyes, which was really ashamed of himself.
Prince Bloomington and Master Benfica glanced at each other, to be honest, they were also sincerely admiring Fang Mingwei's performance.
Young people who can be so down-to-earth and unmoved by foreign objects are almost extinct animals.
No wonder he made one miraculous breakthrough after another at a young age. I'm afraid that only with such a broad mind can we do all this.
Fortunately, Fang Mingwei at this moment couldn't understand the thoughts in the hearts of the three of them, otherwise he would definitely laugh on the spot.
However, seeing three pairs of strange and almost admiring eyes staring at him, Fang Mingwei was also a little itchy and uncomfortable.
His heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Master Benfica, you have always been known for your well-informed. I have a very strange etiquette, do you know what country this is? โ
With that, Fang Mingwei stood up and performed a strange set of etiquette on the spot.
Master Benfica pondered for a moment and said, "This set of etiquette has a very strong ancient atmosphere, it should be a long time ago. But I can't be sure which country it is. โ
Fang Mingwei replied in disappointment.
This set of etiquette was exactly what he learned from the beast leader's lair, following the guide elves in the computer.
I heard that this set of etiquette was set by the ancestor of the genetic man, the necromancer himself. Therefore, Fang Mingwei had long wanted to find out the identity of the necromancer through this strange etiquette.
But now he was disappointed, even the Benfica master didn't know, so basically no one knew.
Suddenly, the pager on Fang Mingwei's wrist rang.
He frowned slightly, he was looking for him at this time, there must be something important
But now that the dignitaries from all over the country have been settled, will anything else happen?
Glancing at everyone embarrassedly, Master Benfica waved his hand slightly, Fang Mingwei understood and left the room.
When Fang Mingwei walked away, Master Benfica gave Wang Ziqiang a thumbs up again and said, "Ziqiang, although there are many of my disciples, they are all over Kaiyue. But you only need Fang Mingwei alone, and you can compare them all. โ
Wang Ziqiang said sincerely: "It is also fate that the disciple can accept him as an apprentice, and his ability is basically figured out by himself, and the disciple really doesn't have much credit." โ
Benfica closed his eyes slightly and said, "When I took you as my subordinate, there were many people who objected. If you say that you are a person from a low-level civilized country, you will definitely not be able to cross the threshold of master. At that time, you said: The master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual. Haha......" He laughed and said, "Cultivation is indeed good in individuals......
โปโปโปโปโปโปโป
As soon as Fang Mingwei came out, he immediately turned on the pager, only to find that it was Abby who called him.
His eyes lit up, could it be that this guy had found a thief in the family?
If that's the case, then this Abby is really a genius in this regard.
His figure moved slightly, but in a moment he was already in a dark attic in the palace.
From the outside, this attic is nothing more than a residence for the miscellaneous servants of the house, but in fact, it is one of the most heavily defended places in the house.
Of course, the main force that acts as a protector is not the Fuchu guards, but some ubiquitous electronic eyes.
After Abby's careful transformation, almost every hidden corner here has a movable camera that is smaller than a hair.
Even if Fang Mingwei used the technique of concealment to come here, it would be difficult to sneak into it unknowingly.
Perhaps, the only one who can hide from everyone entering the room silently is Vernon, who has washed his hands of gold.
However, Fang Mingwei did not have the slightest intention of testing this protective measure, he swaggered directly into the main entrance.
Inside, Iverson and Abby had been waiting for a long time.
"What's the information?" Fang Mingwei asked directly.
Abby was stunned, he had already prepared a sycophant, but Fang Mingwei's straightforward inquiry immediately disrupted his plan.
Secretly smiled bitterly, why is this prince's behavior still quite resolute, which is very different from ordinary Newman officials.
"Your Royal Highness, after nearly a month of secret investigation, we have basically ruled out the possibility that it was a thief who leaked his surname."
Fang Mingwei was taken aback, he wanted to catch the thief with all his heart, but Abby actually told him that it was not the thief who did it, which was really a big surprise.
"It's not a thief, how can they get hold of our information?" Fang Mingwei frowned and said, "Can you be sure of your own judgment?" โ
"Yes." Abby replied without hesitation: "In the past month, we have used various excuses to conduct a round of medical examinations on most of the people in the house. โ
"Medical exam?" Fang Mingwei asked in surprise, does it have anything to do with this?
Iverson added with a smile, "This kid had the bad idea to use hypnotism on those guards and servants. โ
Fang Mingwei immediately understood, and glanced at Abby approvingly, although this method is a little stupid, it is one of the most effective methods.
"What happened in the end?" Fang Mingwei asked, "Isn't it effective?" โ
"Yes, although the petty thieves found a few, they didn't find any suspicious leaks." Iverson said, "The people have all been tested, except, of course, those you have agreed not to disturb. โ
Fang Mingwei immediately understood what he meant, and said, "Those people's identities are special, unless there is sufficient evidence, so you must not do anything to them." โ
Iverson nodded slightly, indicating understanding.
The people Fang Mingwei mentioned are the people in the inner circle such as Schneider and Hua Jiahong, plus his parents and others. Although the number of people is not very large, these people are absolutely vital to Fang Mingwei.
Abby coughed lightly and said, "We couldn't find any evidence in the palace, so we expanded the net and searched outside the palace." After inquiring in the barracks for a few days, I found that there was more than one rumor. โ
"What other rumors?"
"The most powerful thing recently is that you plan to break away from the Newman Empire and stand on your own feet, so the lowest-ranking Newman officers have some signs of instability."
Fang Mingwei felt a pang in his heart, this rumor was too poisonous, and the timing was extremely good, the culprit should not be underestimated.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the hidden smug in Abby's eyes, and his heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Have you found a clue?" โ
Abby was taken aback, she didn't expect that the news she hadn't reported was actually known by Fang Mingwei, and at this moment, Fang Mingwei's eyes suddenly became unfathomable.
Abby, who had just gained a little self-confidence, lowered her head again and said, "We were lucky enough to find the source of those rumors, and we also found their secret stronghold hidden on Tianpeng Star. โ
"Did you catch them?"
"No, according to the secret observation of the subordinates, there are at least two or more quasi-masters in it, and the subordinates are afraid of startling the snake, so they ......"
"Okay, you lead the way, let's go."
Abby asked in surprise, "Your Royal Highness, are you going to go now?" โ
"Yes, since they dare to publish rumors, they must be mentally prepared to be caught by me." Fang Mingwei said coldly: "Lead the way." โ
"Okay, I'll go inform the convoys."
"No need, just the three of us."
Abby's face suddenly became bitter, it was a nest of masters, just three of them......
Iverson smiled behind him and said, "Abby, you seem to have forgotten the strength of the two of us. โ
With a slap on the head, Abby seemed to relax a little.
Yes, now it's not that he secretly committed the crime, but followed behind the two master-level masters.
In addition, even this planet is an industry that belongs to Fang Mingwei's name, so is there anything else that can't be done here?
The three of them were not ready, so they left the palace.
It's so eye-catching to drive a car in the middle of the city. So the three of them walked onto the city's automatic conveyor belt, and an hour later, they arrived at an apartment that Abby had predetermined.
(To be continued)
