Chapter 5: Secrets
The body of the human-faced corpse stiffened.
Turning his head, an old face on his forehead instantly became clear, and Zhuo Fan recognized it at a glance, wasn't it Shi Laodao?
Shi Laodao looked at Zhuo Fan with burning eyes, but his expression was very ugly.
Puzzled, he asked, "How do you know?" ”
Zhuo Fan complained in his heart, your old memory is really bad, you almost stabbed me with a sword last time, did you forget? Didn't you see something you shouldn't see?
That dead lizard corpse, isn't it your caged pet? It wasn't that big back then.
Isn't that black bone skeleton also a specimen you soaked in poison?
And the big toad that ate you, didn't you also raise it for medicine?
But on the bright side, you can't expose people's old truths.
Zhuo Fan pointed to his eyes and mouthed at the alchemy furnace.
Shi Laodao nodded, with envy in his eyes, and praised: "Your luck is really good, when I first saw you, I found that you have a mysterious qi on your head, and you can hang yourself on this day of the catastrophe, I am afraid that it has half of the credit, and it is said that if you don't die, you kid really have a lot of chance." ”
"The day of the Great Tribulation?"
Hearing this, Zhuo Fan was shocked, this Shi Lao Dao really knew something.
"Yes!"
Shi Laodao's gaze turned to the Xianxia Temple on the top of the mountain, and a complicated expression of jealousy and resentment appeared on his face.
After a pause, he continued to speak: "This matter is not a secret matter in the circle of immortal cultivators, and they are all trying to avoid trouble in advance, but their methods and means are different. ”
"The circle of immortal cultivators?"
Zhuo Fan was startled and muttered to himself, today he seemed to have come into contact with a different level.
Shouldn't immortal cultivators be legends in novels and TV series? When I heard this, I was shocked.
"Are you an immortal cultivator?"
There was a hint of self-deprecation on Shi Daoren's face, "Strictly speaking, it's not counted!" You must be curious why I have to rely on Xianxiaguan to be a watchdog, right? ”
Zhuo Fan didn't make a sound, just nodded.
"Haha, watchdog, that's a fitting description!"
Shi Lao Dao looked like crazy, and his voice suddenly rose: "I was three years old when I was three years old, practiced boxing at the age of six, practiced sword at the age of ten, began martial arts at the age of twenty to advance to the world's first-class realm, and traveled all over the world at the age of thirty, defeated countless martial arts masters, hermit masters, can be described as talented, but all this, in the eyes of those people, is a fart?" ”
"With just one finger, they can crush you!"
"When I went through a lot of hardships and worshiped the mountain gate, those high-ranking immortal cultivators turned me away with just one word!"
"Zhuo Fan, guess what they said?"
Zhuo Fan shook his head and quietly waited for Shi Lao Dao to continue.
"You don't have a spiritual root!"
"In a word, it negates the achievements of my life, denies my dream of cultivating and becoming an immortal, and cuts off my opportunity to pursue immortality!"
Shi Laodao's words were full of anger, full of unwillingness: "I don't accept my fate, I choose to stay as a watchdog, be a Dantong for others, and secretly learn the art of alchemy, because I know that there is an elixir called Cleansing Pill, which has a one percent chance that it can make mortals wash out the spiritual root." ”
Zhuo Fan's eyes were very complicated when he looked at Shi Laodao.
This old man has spent most of his life fighting for that trace of destiny, which is simply crazy, and this persistent spirit makes him awe-inspired.
"So, you're hiding here to refine the elixir?"
"That's right, thirty years! For it, I boiled my hair white, how unfair is God to me? ”
"I see that I am about to become a Dan, but I have caught up with the day of the catastrophe of heaven and earth!"
"Even though I tried my best and made a lot of preparations, I still couldn't dodge it, if it weren't for the chance that I was swallowed by this toad and evolved the talent of soul return, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep even this trace of soul power!"
"Let me come as part of the preparation? Don't you want to take it away, do you? ”
Zhuo Fan knew that this Shi Lao Dao must not have a good intention to call him here, but the other party was already like this, and it was considered a complete abandonment, so he asked the question in his heart in a mocking tone.
"This...", Zhuo Fan's words broke his mind, Shi Laodao's words were suffocated, and his old face turned red.
After a long while, he said: "I did have this thought, but now it is impossible, this toad's talent has trapped the soul in the demon body, no accident, I can only live in the world in the future..."
"But that's okay, although God has closed the door to my immortal cultivation, but at the same time it has also opened a new path of revenge, I will trample those who were once high under their feet, and let them also taste the taste of kneeling and begging for mercy! Ha ha! ”
Zhuo Fan's brows furrowed, he knew that Shi Laodao was not alarmist.
This guy's grade is rare, and it is the highest-grade mutant corpse monster that Zhuo Fan has seen at present, and it is very likely to be at the same level as Zhao Xiaoxiao, because they are all a fusion of corpse monsters and beasts.
Over time, it will definitely be a terrifying existence.
And...
Zhuo Fan looked at the alchemy furnace, and at this moment it was emitting a very strong five-color light, dazzling, as if it had shrouded all the white mist on half of the mountain, and wanted to forcibly detain it into the Dan furnace.
But because of this, Zhuo Fan had time to talk to Shi Laodao.
"Old Dao, tell me what's going on with this alchemy furnace? It's so weird, can't you control it? ”
Shi Laodao showed a very embarrassed expression on his face, and explained: "I'm ashamed to say that, as far as my alchemy is concerned, the success of alchemy depends entirely on this Dan furnace, which I bought from the antique market for eight hundred yuan in Dongming City, but I didn't expect to really find a treasure." ”
"The name of this Dan furnace is Qiankun Five Gas Furnace, which contains five gases on the outside and Qiankun on the inside, which is an ancient treasure. Under the influence of this white mist, the furnace spirit became a ghost, and it had independent thinking, which was not controlled by people at all. ”
"Qiankun Five Gas Furnace, Dan Slag, Ghosts, White Mist? By the way, what the hell is the White Mist? Zhuo Fan asked.
"White Mist?" A trace of confusion flashed in Shi Laodao's eyes, and there was some hesitation.
Just as he was about to speak, the Qiankun Five Qi Furnace in front of him opened the lid again, and a pill flew out of it, flying towards Zhuo Fan and Shi Laodao.
This time, there is no need to remind in his mind, as soon as Zhuo Fan's eyes look at it, the information will appear.
Different•Cleansing Spirit Creation Pill (lower grade), efficacy: Cleansing the spirit and washing the marrow, there is a certain chance of washing out the dual-class cultivation mode.
Success rate: 10%
Mortality rate: 90%
The effect of this elixir is too rebellious.
However, the drawbacks are also intuitive.
The success rate is too low, and the mortality rate is as high as 90%, even with the bonus of special talents, the mortality rate is 60%, and this elixir was vetoed by Zhuo Fan at first sight.
No matter how good the elixir is, you have to have a life to enjoy it.
Life comes first.
Zhuo Fan looked at the cyan alchemy furnace, his eyes flickering.
On the contrary, Shi Laodao was hot.
Once, an ordinary Cleansing Spirit Pill only had a success rate of one percent, and he had been begging for it all his life, and the upgraded version of the Cleansing Spirit Creation Pill in front of him had a 10% chance, which was ten times more for him.
"Zhuo Fan, how about a discussion?"
Shi Laodao thought about it, and did not choose to fight, but opened his mouth to ask Zhuo Fan for advice.
Zhuo Fan's mind was on the cyan alchemy furnace, how could he have time to care about this, so he casually agreed: "Well, you say." ”
"How about giving me this pill?"
In return, the tome and the sword are yours, and I won't need them anyway.
These are all treasures that I collected in my early years, especially the ancient book, but it was given with the Dan furnace, and it is said that it was dug up in the same place.
"Yes, you can take it!"
Zhuo Fan waved his hand and motioned to Shi Lao Dao to take it easy.
This elixir, Dan furnace, ancient book, and sword were originally Shi Lao Dao's, and the elixir in the Dan furnace was also refined by him after 30 years of hard work, so being able to ask himself was enough to give face.
Originally, it was also something to give up, but Shi Laodao was willing to ask for it, so he would be a favor.
After Zhuo Fan agreed, Shi Laodao directly stuck out a roll of his tongue and took the pill away.
He didn't choose to take it immediately, but after hugging his fists to Zhuo Fan to express his gratitude, he continued: "Get acquainted, make a good fate, and give you a piece of advice, I don't know the secret of the white mist, maybe Xianxiaguan knows, but Xianxiaguan must not go, otherwise you will die." ”
After speaking, Shi Laodao kicked the ground at his feet, jumped out of Shi Yazi directly, and disappeared into the thick white mist.
Staring at the background where it left, Zhuo Fan felt as if he was looking at a dead man.
As long as it dares to touch this elixir, it will definitely die.
Turning around, Zhuo Fan stepped forward and picked up the book on the stone table.
The title of the book is "Proud and Martial".
The first sentence of the opening paragraph.
Three points for arrogance, seven points for anger.
Flipping through the book, Zhuo Fan said to the cyan alchemy furnace: "It's gone, come out!" ”
When the words fell, an old man's face instantly appeared on the alchemy furnace.
Isn't it Shi Lao Dao?
