Chapter 37: Drunkenness
Everything was done, and after a few words of instruction from Zhou Dao, he left with everyone, leaving only Lin Yi and Zhou Zhengming.
"Brother Lin Yi, what happened just now, I apologize to you on behalf of my brother who can't make it, don't be like him. Zhou Zhengming scratched his head and apologized again.
"It's okay," Lin Yi can carry it clearly, how can he be small in this kind of thing, "By the way, is Liu Wei your own brother, why is his surname 'Liu'?"
Zhou Zhengming seemed to know that Lin Yi was going to ask this question, and smiled, "Brother Lin is right, he is indeed not my own brother, alas, it's a long story." ”
Zhou Zhengming asked the servant to make tea, sat at the table with Lin Yi, and talked in detail.
It turned out that Liu Wei's biological father was a subordinate of Zhou Yidao, and he had followed Zhou Dao loyally for many years and made a lot of contributions.
Twenty years ago, Zhou Dao went to sea to hunt and encountered a powerful demon king, when his life hung by a thread, Liu Wei's father sacrificed himself to help Zhou Dao buy time to escape, and he saved his life.
Zhou Dao was a person who knew how to repay his kindness, and after returning to the island, he immediately recognized Liu Wei as his godson and raised him.
As for why Liu Wei became what he is today, it is very helpless.
Treat his own son, Zhou Dao is very strict, teach Zhou Zhengming the art of cultivation at a very young age, supervise every day, never slack off, if there is a deficiency, it is a scolding to split the head and cover the face.
treats Liu Wei ruthlessly, often dotes on him in every way, and responds to requests, which hurts Liu Wei and makes Liu Wei gradually become unlearned, playful and unambitious.
Now, it can't be changed.
After saying Liu Wei, Zhou Zhengming coughed lightly and began to talk about business.
"Brother Lin Yi, you can hold these essences and use them daily. ”
As he spoke, he opened the space ring and took out a white pocket.
The pockets were full of bulges, and they were thrown on the table with a bang, weighing five or six pounds.
Lin Yi opened it and took a look, the light inside was shining, but it was the essence one by one.
By his estimation, there must be four or five hundred.
"A total of five hundred essences, which should be the deposit of the Gathering Spirit Fruit," Zhou Zhengming smiled and pushed his pocket in front of Lin Yi, "When the Gathering Spirit Fruit is ripe, my father will pay the remaining essence, and there will be no less." ”
Lin Yi nodded and did not refuse.
He's really lacking in essence right now.
Cultivation needs essence, puppets need essence, and cultivating spirit fruit requires essence.
He only had a few dozen pieces of essence left in his hand, which was very small.
Being able to take out five hundred essences at once shows the sincerity of Zhou Dao, which makes Lin Yi very relieved.
Of course, Monday Knife also has its own considerations.
He didn't directly buy the primeval relics, but asked Lin Yi to cultivate them, and then buy the Gathering Spirit Fruit, which has to be said to be quite smart.
Because cultivating primeval relics is not an easy task, once there is a mistake, the previous efforts may be wasted and the spiritual objects may be destroyed.
Obviously, the Monday knife did not want to take risks.
"Thank you!"
Lin Yi's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he accepted it without hesitation, and put his pocket into the space ring.
At this point, the transaction officially began.
Zhou Zhengming breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup, and took a sip slightly.
What follows is all small talk between friends.
chatted until the evening, and Zhou Zhengming got up to say goodbye.
After a while, the servants in the courtyard brought a hot meal and invited Lin Yi to taste it.
There are eight dishes, two soups, meat and vegetarian combinations, and the color and flavor are complete.
Although they are all home-cooked dishes, they are thousands of times stronger than those that were eaten indiscriminately before.
While eating, Lin Yi was a little emotional, and his nose was sour.
It's been a year since I came into this world, and I've never eaten a serious meal.
Drink spring water every day, eat wild fruits, and cook birds and birds.
I remember that when I was on earth, I never had to worry about three meals a day, and my mother worked hard every day to prepare delicious meals for him on time, not to mention how happy I was.
"Alas!"
Lin Yi sighed, missing his relatives more and more.
His parents, his family, and his friends may never see each other for the rest of their lives, like yin and yang.
Actually, if you think about it from another angle, isn't he just dead?
Lin Yi couldn't imagine how sad and desperate his parents and relatives should be when he suddenly "died".
And what can be done?
His only hope is to live in this world and grow stronger until one day he has the power to break the boundaries of time and space and return to Earth!
After dinner, at night.
Lin Yi paced the courtyard, took a hoe, turned up the dry soil in the blood field, and ploughed it from the inside out.
Then he dug a one-foot-deep hole in the middle of the blood field, took out the primeval relics of the spirit fruit, carefully threw it in, and buried five or six essences.
It sounds simple, but you have to be careful every step of the way.
An hour passed with a busy work.
After finishing it, Lin Yi asked his subordinates to bring some bamboo poles and wood, and put a simple fence wall around the blood field, so as not to let the cats and dogs outside break in and destroy the ancient relics.
After resting for a while, Lin Yipan sat on the bed, pinched an essence, slowly refined, and settled down after a while.
The night passed.
The next day, Lin Yi got up and went to the courtyard to check the blood field, and found that the soil in the blood field had become a lot lighter.
It had previously been distinctly crimson, like blood ink, but now it was a large expanse of earthy color.
It seems that the primeval relics have taken root and germinated, and they need fresh demon beast blood to irrigate.
Lin Yi immediately found Zhou Zhengming and wanted to ask if there was fresh demon beast blood, but unfortunately Zhou Zhengming was also unprepared, saying that there were some remaining demon beast corpses on the island, but they were all from yesterday.
The blood of the demon beasts that irrigate the blood field must be fresh, if it is separated by half a day, it will have no effect.
"Lin Yi, if I send someone to hunt demon beasts at sea, it's too late. ”
Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll go in person." ”
"Then I'll send a few masters to help you. Zhou Zhengming was a little worried.
Lin Yi shook his head, "No need." ”
Hunting demon beasts is not a difficult task for him.
In the past, in order to cultivate the Five Spirit Fruits, he hunted not a hundred demon beasts, but also eighty.
As long as you don't run into a big demon, any demon beast is fine.
Without further ado, after greeting Zhou Zhengming, Lin Yi changed his clothes for going to the sea, summoned the great white shark, and traveled all the way five miles away.
Then he took the Bright Eyes Pill and the Breath-Holding Pill prepared in advance, and jumped into the sea.
In general, monsters do not approach islands inhabited by humans, as they are also afraid of being hunted by humans.
So if you want to hunt monsters, you have to stay away from the island.
After swimming to the bottom of the sea, Lin Yi continued to move forward, swam for a mile or so, and finally a demon beast appeared in front of him, it was a fish like a tiger wolf, covered with black sword-shaped scales, majestic.
The head of the fish grows in the middle of the body, poking up and down like a snake's head, and its mouth is open, revealing two long, sharp teeth, like two chopsticks.
"Black-scaled fish!"
Lin Yi is quite experienced and recognizes it at a glance.
This black-scaled fish is a very common type of ordinary demon beast on the bottom of the sea, with average combat effectiveness and very little courage.
Especially afraid of humans, when they see someone approaching, the black-scaled fish will be frightened and run away.
