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 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 has now reached the peak of his spiritual gathering and is 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 small strong Gu and the medicinal power of the Bai Piao Waste Pill to make a breakthrough.
I have to say, 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 power of waste pills is far from being 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 very slim.
So Long Xuan also came close to his ear and whispered: "I said, my success rate in refining elixirs has always been 100%. Where can I get useless elixirs for you? Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
The corner of the little medicine boy's mouth twitched and he looked at him speechlessly.
Someone has 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?
The bull is really flying in the sky, and he is blowing on the ground. This bullish blow is a bit too loud.
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."
"Let's make a bet. You give me three Spirit Gathering Pills, and I 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 will 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.
However, he is really interested in this bet.
What is in that cave is completely unknown to them. It may be rich or poor. After it is divided into five, no one knows how much they can divide.
What's more, this cave was discovered by Li Laodao. According to the rules, he must share half of the treasures in the cave, and the most valuable treasure in the cave must also belong to him.
As a result, even less treasure will be distributed to the rest of the people, and it is hard to say who will gain in the end.
However, three spirit-gathering pills are nothing to Long Xuan, who has a 100% success rate in making pills. He would not feel bad even if he lost them. Of course he is willing to accept this gamble.
"Okay! Then I'll make a bet with you, and we agreed that we won't be blamed later."
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 pills 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 was able to see that Long Xuan was a very suspicious person, and his behavior was extremely cautious. He was cautious in everything and did everything without leakage.
And he actually handed 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. His doing so can only mean one thing, that is, he is absolutely sure to win, so he is not afraid of defaulting on his debt.
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 Li Laodao mentioned 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. 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. It is full of magma. Sparks fly from the magma from time to time, emitting a scorching temperature. Even the rocks here are black.
Li Laodao said with a smile: "Haha! It was also a coincidence. I was chased by a spiritual beast 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 Fangshi. However, it has never been discovered by anyone for so many years. So the cave must be very hidden."
"Magma is a place where humans dare not set foot. 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 was 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 owner 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 a straight line, and there is no reference point 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."
"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 a trouble for 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 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 handful of stone pillars 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 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 he was also 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 child of luck. Is this going to be a story about an old man cultivating immortality?
Long Xuan was greatly shocked, and the way he looked at him was different.
“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 feasible.
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 owner of the cave. You can’t climb the rope, jump over, or fly over on a spiritual beast...”
"Everyone you can think of as the owner of the cave has already thought of it. How could he leave such an obvious loophole?" 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, there is a row of people standing behind, testing the road one by one, and the people behind will pick up the one who dies, and the correct route will be figured out soon." 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 couldn't speak clearly.
“You should 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 you should ask the elder first. I have always had the tradition of respecting the old and loving the young."
“No, no, no! You’d better ask first...”
"You guys still have time to joke around at this time." Di Xin rolled his eyes at a few people and said, "Actually, there is another way, that is, I will break the formation directly."
“But I don’t know if I can succeed, so I can only give it a try for the time being. If it doesn’t succeed, you two will go forward to explore the way.”
Long Xuan nodded and said: "Then I'll help you. I'll go for a while first and come back as soon as I go. You can be busy first."
Di Xin took a sip and said, "You really **** a lot when you go out. Go back quickly and don't fall into the lava. I will open the cave later and no one will be waiting for you."
"Don't wait for me, just hold it for me when we divide the treasures." Long Xuan immediately ran away.
Turning left and right, Long Xuan ran to a very secluded corner. Looking back, he found that no one was following him, and the eye of heaven did not see the tracking bug, so he released his flame clone.
Of course he didn’t come out to poop. According to the plan, he had to change into a clone to replace himself at the entrance of the cave.
No one can guarantee that the cave is 100% safe, and any accident may occur.
What's more, the man named Li Dashan didn't reassure him, and that Di Xin was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
He felt that it was not safe for him to enter the cave, so he simply let his flame clone go in for him while he stayed outside.
If anything happens at that time, the person who dies will also be the flame clone, which has nothing to do with him.
So Long Xuan took this opportunity to retreat, preparing to swap himself with his clone, thus hiding the truth.
He hung his storage bag and breeding bag on the waist of the flame clone. The clone could only copy the ability of the inner poison but not the outer poison. This was also to prevent the inflammation clone from fighting in case of internal strife. Power.
Finally, Long Xuan patted the flame clone on the shoulder and told him: "I'll give you a difficult task. Now you go into the cave to hunt for treasures on my behalf. Always pay attention to Li Dashan. Your opportunity to make a contribution has come, don't let me down."
The flame clone has always been hard-working and uncomplaining. He has done this kind of tiring and dangerous work so much that he has long been accustomed to it. Without any rebuttal, he walked away.
Good things are always done by the main body, and bad things are always done by the avatar. What can he do if he has such an unscrupulous master?
After the Yan clone left, Long Xuan released the Tao clone and the Xun clone. Lin's clone took care of the elixirs in Longlao's medicine garden, while Gui's clone took care of his own medicine garden at home. After the Yan clone left, he only had two left. A functional clone.
Long Xuan also didn’t expect that there was a magma zone near Fangshi. This was the terrain he had been looking for for a long time.
Over the years, he has been sending avatars to various places with dangerous environments to collect the best tardigrades of various species. Now he has collected almost all of them, except for the best tardigrades that live in extremely hot areas and are good at resisting heat.
Now that he finally found the magma environment, he took this opportunity to collect the last kind of tardigrade.
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, and he can't wait for it. He just waits for the trip to end and goes back to refine the water bear Gu immediately.
