Chapter 5: Black Jade Pendant
"After you did what you said, you will give me a priceless elixir, which can prolong people's lives. You even swore by it.
That's why I chose to believe you, and now I don't want to settle accounts with you for the losses caused by Shizhu to me.
Hurry up and give me the pill, the two of us will be clear, and I won't look for you if anything happens in the future." ”
He Qi looked at the old man in front of him and said, he didn't expect the old man to have any good way to get the stone beads out, he just wanted to get what he wanted now and leave here.
"You kid are still embarrassed to ask me for this? I asked you to bring the stone beads back afterwards, but you are good and eat the stone beads directly, and my loss is greater than yours. ”
The old man said glaring at He Qi.
"Do you want to give it or not?" He Qi said coldly as he looked at the old man.
"Don't give it, unless you spit out the stone beads" The old man looked at He Qi with a decisive expression.
"Okay, if you don't give it to me, you will spread the word about what you asked me to do in the town, the mayor of the town is strong and well-read. He's going to have a way to get this thing out.
At that time, this thing will not belong to you. Didn't you tell me not to pass it on, and since you didn't keep your promise, then don't blame me for breaking my promise. ”
He Qi looked at the old man and said lightly.
The old man looked at He Qi and began to tremble with anger, and then he hesitated for a while, and said with a bitter face:
"It's not that I don't want to give it, the pill was secretly eaten by the dead dog in the big tree, and I really can't take it out now!"
The big tree is a big male dog raised by the old man, this dog is snow-white, the hair is mixed with some irregular gray stripes, a pair of blue glasses looks like a hint of God, and the ears beckoned as if they could listen to all directions, and it looks like a divine horse.
If it weren't for the erect tail behind his buttocks, anyone who might have seen him would think that this was a powerful wolf beast.
As for why the name is called the big tree, He Qi has no way to verify, and later heard that the old man Li showed off to others at that time, this dog has extraordinary blood, and can sense rare items, which can be used to hunt for treasures.
And it is said that this dog will have good combat power when it grows up, and can even shelter one side.
Then the dog was borrowed by the hunting party to find precious herbs, and the price was to give 10% of the herbs found to Old Man Li.
After that, the hunting team took the dog every time they went out to collect medicine, and they always returned with a full load, although they encountered many dangers in the process, but everything was worth it for everyone in the hunting team.
Until one day, the mayor took out a bunch of precious medicinal herbs that had been gnawed by dogs from the medicine storehouse......
Since then, the dog has lost his job and wandered around the town of Rock, causing countless families to suffer.
That's why everyone now hates the dog as well.
"I told you to stew that dead dog a long time ago, and if you didn't listen, what should you do now?" He Qi said with annoyance.
The old man pondered for a while, slowly walked to the wooden shelf in the hall where the sundries were placed, groped for a while, took out a dusty piece of animal skin paper and said to He Qi:
"This is the refining method of the pill, and there is also a clear record of the materials required for refining, this pill is called the Hundred Life Pill, although it is not called the flesh and bones of the living and dead, but the seriously injured person can also leave his life after taking it as long as he has a breath. And the most powerful thing about the Hundred Life Pill is that ordinary people can prolong their life for about 30 years after taking it, and they can take it up to five times, so it is called the Hundred Life Pill. It is precisely because of the amazing effect of this pill that the materials required for refining are also precious and abnormal, and the refining requires the spiritual power of the monks. Wrap the material to prevent its essence from leaking. I can give this to you, but you must not tell anyone about it before."
After speaking, he gently handed the animal skin paper in his hand to He Qi.
He Qi took the animal skin paper from the old man's hand, gently patted the dust on it with his hand, and then held both sides of the paper with both hands and quickly browsed it, and then he gently rolled up the paper, put it in his arms, and nodded to Old Man Li.
The old man shook his head and said to He Qi:
"With your strength, it is difficult to cultivate this pill, even a monk in the Tongmai realm cannot be said to be sure of it, not to mention that some of the materials required in it must be found in the deep mountains, and there may be powerful demon beasts guarding it, are you sure you want to take it?"
I also have a Huiyuan Pill here, which can help you quickly sense the aura of heaven and earth, even if you don't have the qualifications to cultivate, you may step into the door of the cultivation world because of it.
If you give up now, I can give it to you. ”
Sensing the aura of heaven and earth is the first step in cultivation, and this step has also turned countless people away. So the price paid by the old man is not insignificant.
"No need!" He Qi said as he looked at Old Man Li, his eyes full of determination.
If he doesn't even dare to face this difficulty in front of him, then what will he do to face the future!
The old man was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and then he sighed and said to He Qi: "That's it, you kid is so self-conscious, if you go into the mountains to find the medicinal materials needed for alchemy, you can bring the big tree, he may be helpful to you." ”
After speaking, he groped around his body for a while, took out a black round stone from his sleeve, handed it to He Qi, and said:
"This thing is a strange treasure in my collection, although the material is ordinary jade, but it should have been owned by a strong person in the past. The two intersecting dragon patterns carved on it can be seen that its former owner's identity and strength were extremely extraordinary at that time. It may help you in the future. ”
He Qi looked at the black stone with two loaches tattooed, Mu Ran nodded, although he didn't know where the old man picked up this thing, but he could still feel the old man's heart.
He carefully put the stone on his waist, so as not to be seen by the old man at this time.
However, for the dead dog in the big tree, he still felt that he could roll as far as he could, even if he had to go up the mountain to find medicine, he would not go to a dog to help, not to mention that this dog was as notorious as the old man.
Bidding farewell to Old Man Li, He Qi walked back with the secret recipe of the elixir.
In the next time, he had to make himself strong as soon as possible, then find the materials for alchemy, and then start refining the Hundred Life Pill.
This elixir was originally prepared by him for Blacksmith Wang, and now he has strengthened his belief in going out. Therefore, for the Hundred Lives Pill, he is bound to win.
He may die on the way out, or he may leave and never return, but if he has the chance, he will definitely return.
He didn't want to leave himself with regrets, and he didn't want Blacksmith Wang to wait for the day when he saw him.
In fact, a long time ago, He Qi was full of doubts about his background.
He suddenly appeared in Falling Rock Town when he was five years old, but the memories before the age of five seemed to be forcibly erased by something, and his countless memories were always blank.
It seemed to him that the person who had the ability to erase his memories and send him to Falling Rock through the darkness must not be easy, and he even felt that this person might be stronger than everyone in the town combined.
Regardless of whether that person was an enemy or not, he would choose to leave the town to avoid unwarranted disaster to the town.
And what happened in the canyon that night seemed even more strange to him, and he and Uncle Yang came back safe and sound in the dark canyon that made the people in the town taboo.
And according to Uncle Yang, nothing happened that night, but that dream made him feel extremely real.
So whether he wants to find answers to these things, or to avoid the town from being harmed, he must travel to the world outside the town. And it is obviously impossible to do it without sufficient strength.
He Qi looked at the direction of the training ground of the hunting team in the distance, his eyes were full of determination.
