Chapter 77 The bet with the little drug boy
"Long Xuan." At this time, the little medicine boy came over with a serious look. Just when Long Xuan thought that he was going to have a barbecue, he came closer and whispered: "Do you have the Spirit Gathering Pill or the Waste Pill?"
The little medicine boy looked at him seriously. Through his crazy consumption of waste elixirs, he had already reached the peak of spiritual gathering and was only one step away from the marrow cleansing stage.
But now that the spiritual power of the world is thin, all Gu cultivators can only use the power of pills to break through, and he has to prepare for the Spirit Gathering Pill.
Hearing this, Long Xuan glanced at him unexpectedly. He was not stupid. He had already guessed that the little drug boy was planning to use the poison-free characteristics of the little strong Gu and the medicinal power of the Baihuan Waste Pill to make a breakthrough.
I have to say that he is really amazing and unique in his ideas. This is really a good idea. His imagination is almost catching up with his own.
It is definitely a good idea to use Xiaoqiang Gu to consume waste pills, but the medicinal power of waste pills is far from comparable to that of adult pills.
Even if the little drug boy wants to use the power of the waste pill to gather spirit, the possibility of a successful breakthrough is slim.
So Long Xuan also came close to his ear and whispered: "I said, the success rate of my alchemy has always been 100%. Where can I get you a useless elixir? Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
The corner of the little medicine boy's mouth twitched and he looked at him speechlessly.
Can someone have a 100% success rate in making alchemy? Will he die if he doesn't brag? He has seen people who can brag, but this is the first time he has seen someone who can brag like this. In their village, does bragging mean you don't pay taxes?
It's true that the bull is flying in the sky, and he is bragging on the ground. This bragging is a bit too big.
Of course, it was impossible for the little drug boy to believe such a thing, and he only thought that Long Xuan was bragging.
"Okay! I didn't tell you that when you bought my alchemy furnace, I already guessed that you were an alchemist, and you just mentioned to Li Laodao about the spirit gathering pill, so I have to suspect that you have something in your body. Gathering Pill."
"In this way, let's make a bet. You give me three Spirit Gathering Pills, and I will give you my share of this treasure hunt."
"None of us know what's in that cave now. If the treasure that belongs to me is greater than the value of three spirit-gathering pills, then it's your profit."
"If the treasure that belongs to me is less than the value of three spirit-gathering pills, then I make a profit."
"None of us can find fault afterward, do you dare to bet?" The little medicine boy looked at Long Xuan and whispered.
Long Xuan stroked his chin and glanced at him again unexpectedly. At this time, he was really impressed by this little medicine boy.
This little medicine boy is really unusually smart. Not only can he observe from the details that he has the Spirit Gathering Pill, but he also knows how to use it to defeat the wolf.
But he was really interested in this bet.
What is in that cave is completely unknown to them. It may be rich or poor. No one knows how much they can get after dividing it into five.
What's more, this cave was discovered by Li Laodao. According to the rules, he has to take half of the treasures in the cave, and the most valuable treasure in the cave also belongs to him.
As a result, even fewer treasures will be distributed to other people. It's hard to say who will gain in the end.
However, three spirit-gathering pills were nothing to Long Xuan, who had a 100% success rate in making pills. He wouldn't feel bad even if he lost them. Of course he was willing to accept this gamble.
"Okay! Then I'll make a bet with you, and we agreed that we won't be looking for trouble afterwards."
Long Xuan secretly took out three spirit-gathering pills and put them into his hand readily.
The little medicine boy was pleasantly surprised. He looked around with his peripheral vision and found that no one was paying attention. He quietly collected the Spirit Gathering Pill in his storage bag.
At the same time, he also took a deep look at Long Xuan, the meaning in his eyes was unclear.
Through several observations, he could see that Long Xuan was a very suspicious person, his behavior was extremely cautious, he was cautious in everything, and he did everything without leakage.
And he actually handed over the Spirit Gathering Pill to himself first, without any fear that he would refuse to accept the pill.
This kind of person will never trust anyone. What he does can only mean one thing, that is, he is absolutely sure to beat himself, so he is not afraid of defaulting on his debt.
The little Yaotong's pupils shrank, and he suddenly felt fearful. He was sure that this person must have a very strong trump card, and there were more than one. This person must not be provoked.
After the five people rested, they embarked on the journey again. However, in order to take care of Li Laodao, they deliberately slowed down their speed.
The location mentioned by Li Laodao was a bit far away. Under his guidance, it took them more than 20 days to get there, and the round trip took two months.
Long Xuan can only hope that there are good things inside, otherwise it is not worth spending so much time and money. Wouldn't it be nice to sleep at home with this time?
The location of the cave in Li Laodaokou is a magma terrain in the underground world. There is magma everywhere. Sparks fly from the magma from time to time, emitting scorching heat. Even the rocks here are black.
Li Laodao smiled and said: "Haha! It was also a coincidence. I was chased by spiritual beasts during the last beast tide, and I discovered this place by coincidence. I'm afraid none of you know where the cave is."
The little medicine boy nodded and guessed: "This cave is near Fang City. However, it has never been discovered by anyone for so many years. It must be that the cave must be very hidden."
"Magma is a place where humans dare not set foot. So the cave should be hidden in the magma, right? I can't find a more hidden location than this."
"Huh?" Li Laodao glanced at him unexpectedly and smiled: "You are quite smart. Although what you said is right, it is not accurate enough."
"To be precise, the cave is on a rock wall on the other side of the magma sea. It is paved with stone pillars and leads to the shore in a curved way."
"But all the stone pillars were hidden by the phantom formation and could not be seen at all. If I hadn't fallen into the magma after being chased by the spiritual beasts and discovered that I was not dead, I would never have discovered this cave."
"The stone door of the cave is also hidden by the phantom formation. Last time I found all the stone pillars by throwing stones, and found the stone door of the cave."
"But considering that the master of the cave can set up such an exquisite illusion formation, the killing formation in the cave must be quite powerful."
"So I didn't dare to go deep, so I retreated, preparing to find some teammates before going in. Although some treasures will be distributed, the safety will be much greater."
"But the stone pillars are not connected in straight lines, and there is no reference on the magma surface. I have forgotten where they are. I'm afraid we need to search again."
Li Dashan said at this time: "Isn't it just throwing stones to find the way? It won't waste much time, I will find the way."
Di Xin glanced at him and said, "Don't be impulsive. It's not as simple as you think here."
"This is a bit like an ancient formation. Haven't you ever thought about why the owner of the cave made the stone road a curve instead of a straight line?"
"A straight line is the shortest between two points. In order to facilitate travel, he should make his way home into a straight line. Why bother? Isn't this just causing trouble to himself?"
"This..." Hearing this, Li Laodao was stunned.
Indeed, why would the owner of the cave make the road home into twists and turns instead of a straight line? Doing so would only inconvenience him and waste his time.
He didn't think about this issue in detail at first, but subconsciously thought that doing so would be more concealed.
But now that I think about it, this is simply a waste of taking off my pants and farting.
I accidentally fell on the first stone pillar, so I cast stones to find the way and found out all the stone paths. It was not hidden at all, and it would not play any role in blocking people coming. It would only embarrass myself. Maybe I would remember it wrong one day. The road just fell off on its own.
Might as well just make a straight line.
Di Xin said very seriously: "This is an ancient formation. You just said it wrong. There is not a stone pillar connected in a curve in the magma, but a piece of stone pillars. The number of stone pillars may be countless."
"With so many stone pillars, only a very few are correct, and these stone pillars are connected to form a route."
"The rest of the stone pillars are all wrong. Nothing will happen if you hit them with stones, but if a person steps on them, the mechanism will be triggered, causing the stone pillars to sink, or there may be other dangers."
"You are really lucky. You were able to perfectly avoid all the wrong options and figure out the right route with just one life. How did you do it?" Di Xin looked at him with strange eyes.
Hearing this, Li Laodao opened his mouth wide and broke into a cold sweat. At this time, he was completely frightened and had lingering fears in his heart.
How did he do that? He didn't know how he did it. He just felt that his life was really big enough. It was so thrilling. Even he was surprised that he could survive.
Long Xuan looked at him with shocked eyes, and was completely shocked.
What kind of luck is this? There is only one correct route for a stone pillar, and the probability of passing it is so low that it is hard to imagine how he survived.
I'm afraid this Old Taoist Li is also a son of luck. Is this going to be a story about an old man cultivating immortality?
Long Xuan was shocked, and the way he looked at him was different.
"Then can I fly there?"
At this time, Long Xuan thought that he could step on his left foot and fly directly over with his right foot, but he didn't know if it was possible.
Di Xin looked at him with a strange look again and flew over. He thought he was a trapeze artist. Why didn't he go up to the sky when he still flew over?
"If you don't want to be sucked into the magma, just fly."
"When you come here, you must follow the rules of the cave owner. Climbing the rope, jumping over, flying over on a spiritual beast... you won't be able to do anything else."
"The master of the cave you can think of has already thought of it. How could he leave such obvious loopholes." Di Xin rolled his eyes at Long Xuan and said.
"Okay, then pretend I didn't say anything." Long Xuan smiled awkwardly.
Of course, he just said it casually. He would not be so reckless. Even if he flew over, he would definitely let the flame clone test it first to confirm that he was not dead before flying.
"So, the last time Li Laodao found the stone gate of the cave was entirely due to unlucky luck. Now he has forgotten the route, which means we have no other way?" Li Dashan frowned at this time and said.
"Yes, just stand in a row of people behind and test the road one by one. If the person behind you dies, the person behind you will catch up, and you will soon figure out the correct route." Di Xin said calmly.
Long Xuan was shocked, wasn't this the squid game in his previous life? But there are only five people in my line, and this number of lives is not enough. Even if I am the last to leave, it will definitely be my turn.
"Li Laodao, you are lucky, you go first!" Long Xuan looked at the son of luck and said.
"I... no no no no!" Li Laodao's head suddenly shook like a rattle, and he was so frightened that he could not speak clearly.
"It's better that you invite me first. I already used up all my good luck last time, and my credit account even turned into a negative number. I must have made a wrong move this time."
"No, you are the son of luck, so please give priority to the elders. I have always had the tradition of respecting the old and loving the young."
"No, no, no! You'd better ask first..."
"You guys are still in the mood to joke at this time." Emperor Xin rolled his eyes at them and said, "There is another way, that is, I will break this formation directly."
"But I don't know if it will work, so I can only try it for now. If it doesn't work, you two can go forward to explore the way."
Long Xuan nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you. I'll go to the bathroom first and be back soon. You can go ahead and do your work."
Emperor Xin said lightly, "You are really a noble man who poops and pees a lot when you go out. Go and come back quickly. Don't fall into the magma. I will open the cave later and no one will wait for you."
"No need to wait for me. You can hold it for me when the treasure is divided." Long Xuan ran away immediately.
Turning left and right, Long Xuan ran to a very hidden corner. Looking back, he found that no one was following him, and the Eye of Heaven did not see the tracking insect, so he released his flame clone.
Of course, he didn't come out to poop. According to the plan, he was going to replace his clone at the door of the cave.
No one dared to guarantee that the cave was 100% safe. Any accidents could happen at that time.
What's more, the man called Li Dashan did not make him feel at ease, and that Emperor Xin was not a good person.
He felt that it was not safe for him to enter the cave, so he simply let Yan's clone go in for him, and he would stay outside.
If something really happened, it would be Yan's clone who died, and it had nothing to do with him.
So Long Xuan took this opportunity to withdraw, ready to swap himself with the clone, so as to deceive the world.
He hung his storage bag and insect breeding bag on Yan's clone's waist. The clone could only copy the ability of the internal Gu but not the external Gu. This move was also to prevent Yan's clone from fighting in case of internal strife.
Finally, Long Xuan patted Yan's clone on the shoulder and told him: "I'll give you a difficult task. You will enter the cave to search for treasures on my behalf now. Keep an eye on Li Dashan. Your chance to make a contribution has come. Don't let me down."
Yan's clone has always been hardworking and has done a lot of hard and dangerous work. He has long been accustomed to it. Without any rebuttal, he walked away.
Good things are always done by the original body, and bad things are always done by the clones. What can he do with such an unscrupulous master?
After Yan's clone left, Long Xuan released the clones of Li and Li. Lin's clone took care of the spiritual medicine in Long Lao's medicine garden, and Gui's clone took care of his own medicine garden at home. After Yan's clone left, he only had two clones left to use.
Long Xuan didn't expect that there was a magma zone near the market. This was exactly the terrain he had been looking for for a long time.
Over the years, he has sent clones to various places with dangerous environments to collect various species of top-quality water bears. Now he has collected almost all of them, except for the top-quality water bears that live in the extremely hot zone and are good at resisting heat.
Now that he has finally found the magma environment, he took this opportunity to collect this last kind of water bear.
After that, the matter of refining the water bear Gu can be put on the agenda. Long Xuan has been looking forward to the water bear Gu for a long time. At this time, he can't wait to go back to refine the Gu immediately after this trip.
