Chapter 21: The Oath
An hour after Wang Lung entered the underground cave, a flying machine suddenly flew above the surface, and two human cultivators walked out of it, the two looked exactly the same, wearing plain monk's robes, but if you look closely, they don't look like monk's robes, bald and round faces, and there are no ring scars on the top of your head, no need to ask, it is just a brother and sister.
They came here to help at the request of Wang Lung, and the purpose was naturally the thousand-year-old worry-free fruit.
After another half an hour, a figure walked out of the underground cave, and as soon as he came out of the cave, this person released a flying machine, and after the aircraft was deployed, a light flashed directly, and the aircraft disappeared in place.
Wang Lung left alone, while the two brothers were still in the underground cave, he was not out to rob the cultivators of other planets, but to deal with his own affairs.
At this time, Wang Lung was sitting in the flying machine, his plan could not be delayed, he could not delay for too long, the sky was about to get dark, today's task was not completed, and with the remaining little time, Wang Lung was ready to search the remaining few marking points in this grassland.
Regarding the Millennium Worry-Free Fruit, Wang Lung has already done it, and this is thanks to Liefei, if it weren't for Liefei's reminder, Wang Lung really didn't know what to do.
Speaking of the concubines, Wang Lung was full of doubts, the two met for the first time, and the other party's performance was completely beyond Wang Lung's expectations, not that the other party was difficult, but that his attitude towards Wang Lung was surprisingly good, what secrets were contained in this, Wang Lung didn't know, he couldn't figure it out.
As a human born on the earth, at first Wang Lung and most ordinary people had the same cognition, demons and monsters were all opposed to human beings, but since he came into contact with some secrets, some of Wang Lung's views began to change, but it was not realistic for him to completely transform. Especially between him and Liefei, he hasn't sorted out the identities of both parties thoroughly, and he always feels that he is superior to the other party, this kind of thinking is wrong, Wang Lung also knows the way, but he just can't adapt to it for a while.
Lieyan is a black snake demon. From the first meeting to the present, Wang Lung has never known how far the cultivation of the Liefei has reached, let alone how good the Liefei is to him.
Everyone is meeting for the first time, and they don't know each other at all, especially on the Green Plains Star, to put it mildly, even if they are in the same vein of the Holy Source System, but the cultivators are also in an antagonistic relationship with each other, and the Lieyan showed. Not at all.
Lieyan is like a big grinning chick next door, born to be familiar, naughty, lively, bold and cute, which makes Wang Lung's perception of the demon clan completely wrong.
Why is Liefei so good to himself, what is the secret in this? Wang Lung really couldn't figure it out, he felt that Lieyan must have known about his existence a long time ago, at least when collecting the Sanssouci fruit. Liefei knew that Wang Lung was watching her nearby, and Wang Lung had no evidence. Just his instincts.
From the very beginning, the concubines did not show the slightest hostility, and the prohibition at the entrance of the crypt was just an ordinary phantom array, as long as they understood this array, it would not play any role at all, and there was no prohibition in the passage. Even if the two communicated face-to-face, Liefei did not show the slightest impatience or hostility.
Ten top-grade Heart Condensing Pills, this condition does not seem to be the true purpose of the concubine now, what is the other party doing, Wang Lung shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't have any clue, so he could only put aside these things he couldn't understand for the time being, now that the Sanssouci Fruit had arrived, no matter what the purpose of the concubine was, as long as the other party kept the oath, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Speaking of the oath, Wang Lung was also very helpless, this condition was put forward by him, looking at the whole thing, Wang Lung felt the need to let the concubine swear, this was not for his own consideration, but for the safety of the two brothers.
Here's the thing, when Wang Lung was talking to a contactor, he didn't notice a detail, Liefei was next to him at the time, Wang Lung didn't shy away from each other, and the information exchanged with each other fell into the ears of Liefei word for word, and the details that Wang Lung didn't pay attention to, Liefei grabbed it.
One once said that Likong had refined a high-grade Condensing Heart Pill at the beginning, but the probability was very low, and ten furnaces could only succeed in one furnace.
Wang Lung does not have a top-grade Condensing Heart Pill, but he can refine it, although the probability is low, but he has this ability, Lieyan kept his conditions unchanged, and asked Sora to help her refine a high-grade Condensing Heart Pill, and all the spiritual herbs needed for the pill were provided by Lienan himself, as long as he helped refine it.
As long as the top-grade Condensing Heart Pill is successfully refined, Lieyu will abide by the agreement and hand over the Millennium Worry-Free Fruit to Wang Long.
After Liefei made this request, Wang Lung did not agree immediately, and lowered his head to analyze the pros and cons.
It's right that he is a pharmacist, and the level is quite high, not to mention whether he can successfully refine the top-grade Condensing Heart Pill, the key is whether he can refine it, which has to take into account Wang Long's refining rules.
According to the regulations, Wang Lung can't complete the refinement by pretending to be someone else's hand during the refinement, if he does so, it will be judged to be a failure, just like Han Yan is forbidden to fight, if he helps refine the high-grade Condensing Heart Pill, it is to indirectly help Wang Lung complete the refinement test, which is not allowed in the rules.
Putting aside this factor, if the air energy is refined, then how long does it take to complete the refining, and ten furnaces of pills can be successfully cooked, although Wang Lung is not a cultivator, at least he also knows that the alchemy of the Dao is not brisk, how can it take ten days and half a month, these times should be put on hold in normal times, Wang Lung naturally will not care, but not now, he still has a plan to execute, and the time is not enough, how can he waste such precious time.
The cultivation of one brother and two is the infant pill stage, on the Green Plains Star, there are many such cultivators, there are many people who are stronger than one brother and two, not to mention others, just say Wang Lung himself, if he really wants to fight, he believes that he will definitely be able to overturn the other party.
From the beginning, Lieyan was very friendly, but as the saying goes, people's hearts are separated from each other, and Wang Lung does not dare to risk the lives of one brother and two.
After a series of analyses, Wang Lung and the others reached an agreement, that is, let Liefei provide the materials for refining the high-grade Condensing Heart Pill to Kong, and Liekong helped to refine, and in order to ensure the safety of the lives of the first brother and the other, Wang Lung asked the Liefei to take an oath of demons in his heart, not to harm the first brother and the two, and not to imprison them by any means. After the success of the refining process, the concubine provided the thousand-year-old worry-free fruit to Wang Long.
Because Wang Lung had other important things to do, it was naturally impossible to accompany him throughout the process, so he could ask for help to save it.
As for whether asking for help violates the rules of the calendar, this makes Wang Long have a headache, strictly speaking. Even if Wang Lung fouls if he makes an empty shot, but if he doesn't make a shot, Wang Lung will definitely not get the worry-free fruit, and give up the opportunity of this exchange, Wang Lung believes that it will be difficult for him to find out in the future.
There is no worry-free fruit, although Wang Lung still has a backhand, but it is useless to think so much now, if the experience and collection are not complete, it will definitely be judged to be a failure. If you let the free hand help, you will also be judged to fail, and the ending will be the same, so why not gamble.
After thinking about it, Wang Lung made some back-up moves, and asked Sora to help, he wouldn't use the other party in vain, and promised to give Sora some compensation, which was naturally some spiritual herbs that he couldn't look down on. The relationship between him and Sora is extraordinary, and the reward is just a cover-up.
Since the promise to pay the remuneration. Wang Lung naturally did not break his promise, and gave all the non-prescribed spiritual herbs collected in the last two months to Kong, but there were two things left by Wang Lung, one was Tianwu Grass, and the other was Huang Junzi.
The value of these two spirit grasses is immeasurable, and Wang Lung naturally will not cut his love. Although I can't use it now, it's still very effective to bribe the old ghost.
After all the conditions were negotiated, Wang Lung handed over the two brothers to Liefei, as for how many furnace pills to waste in order to succeed, this was not his concern. His energy is focused on the grasslands that have not yet been explored.
The bat tide will not disappear for a while, Wang Lung's plan will not change a bit, only in this way can he minimize his danger, the thousand-year worry-free fruit is important, but compared with his own life, the answer is self-evident.
Due to the relationship between the concubines, Wang Lung delayed a lot of time, and before dark, he explored the remaining few marking points clearly.
Harvesting the thousand-year-old worry-free fruit, Wang Lung still has four kinds of spirit grass to find, although there are not many of them, but on this green plain star is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
In the blink of an eye, another week has passed, Wang Lung still has not gained anything, and a few spirit grasses have been collected, but unfortunately none of them are prescribed by the old ghost.
After estimating the time, Wang Lung found that there was still a week to use, and the remaining twenty or so grassland lands should be able to be explored according to the plan, but this must be done without any interference, and now it seems that it is estimated that it is somewhat difficult.
With the passage of time, some of the cultivators who had been hiding had already appeared, and they were all searching around with the same purpose as Wang Lung, although they were not as blatant as Wang Long, spanning many continents, but the cultivators appeared more and more, so that Wang Lung's search intensity also decreased.
The outbreak of the bat tide, Wang Lung has experienced it once, but for the specific situation of the bat tide, Wang Lung still has a lot that is not very clear, these days, the number of times the bat tide is tyrannical is getting less and less, and it is good to be able to meet a wave in three or five hours, which allows Wang Lung to have extra time to find spirit grass.
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, Wang Lung always has a bad premonition today, this situation rarely happens, he doesn't know why, is it because of those cultivators who came out, but after thinking about it, Wang Lung doesn't feel like it.
When looking for spiritual herbs, Wang Lung rarely showed up except for the necessary collection, and he had been hiding in the flying machine, if it was a Yuan Infant Stage cultivator, he might be able to find his traces by his divine sense, but which Yuan Infant Stage old monster was idle and didn't have a divine sense to sweep around.
The abruptness of this palpitation made Wang Lung have to be more careful.
The search continued, and before he found any danger, Wang Lung didn't want to change, since there was a trace of sensitivity, as long as he paid more attention, it should be fine.
Time jumped forward for two days again, and Wang Lung was not threatened in any way, on the contrary, he was lucky to find a spirit grass, which was exactly the kind requested by the old ghost.
The 1,200-year-old Bai Lu is four hundred years more than the year requested by the old ghost, and this discovery is actually quite unexpected, if it weren't for Wang Lung's nervous mind in the last two days and a little more thought about the surrounding situation, he might have passed by this Bai Lu Zhu.
That was what happened this morning, when Wang Lung was patrolling a marked point, and just when he thought that this place had not been found, a small puddle appeared in front of the right side of the marked point, which was four or five kilometers away from the marked point, and was not within Wang Lung's search range.
Four or five thousand meters could not be seen by the naked eye for the royal rex, but the light was reflected by the puddle and was captured by the royal rex.
He thought it would be caused by some cultivators releasing spells, but after Wang Lung moved back and forth many times, he realized that it was the sun's rays, and this discovery made him very happy.
In the grassland land, it does not mean that there are no water storage areas such as ponds, but under the detection of the aircraft, they have been marked by Wang Lung, and the small puddles that suddenly appeared must have something important in them.
As he imagined, when Wang Lung arrived at the small puddle, he found that a puddle was growing there, and the small puddle was not very big, only one meter square, but Wang Lung picked the puddle away and found that this small puddle was bottomless.
Wang Lung didn't care about what was at the bottom of the small puddle, as long as he could find the required spirit grass, he was already excited, from the discovery to the completion of the collection, there were no followers or dangers, which made Wang Lung's hanging heart somewhat relaxed.
After collecting the Bai Lu Plant, Wang Lung directly piloted the flying machine to flash people, one Bai Lu Mo could not complete the task, and there were three spirit herbs to collect, Wang Lung put away his excitement and flew towards the next marking point. (To be continued......)
