Chapter 13, Night Talk
That night, to Wu Zheng's surprise, Li Changhe, the elder of the outer hall, came to see him.
"How about a deal, kid?"
"I wonder why Elder Li came to visit late at night?" Wu Zheng did not answer directly. He wanted to see what Li Changhe was going to do first.
"Boy, don't worry. You must have noticed that you are just pawns of the sect. It's not easy to get out of the secret realm alive!" Li Changhe laughed.
"You are stupid, why should you ask an elder to clarify your doubts?"
"You kid, you're as smart as a monkey. I'm afraid you've guessed it a long time ago. Anyway, I'll just tell you." Li Changhe said with a smile.
"There are countless opportunities in the secret realm, but you have to be determined to get it. There are dangers everywhere in the secret realm. The most dangerous ones are not the monsters, but the monks inside. They will do anything for opportunities." Li Changhe paused. .
"There are three hundred and fifty monks who enter each time. Do you know how many of them can come out alive?"
Wu Zheng also knew that Li Changhe would say it himself, so he didn't answer, but was more attentive.
As expected, Li Changhe shook his head, "There are less than thirty people coming out every time, which is nearly a 1 in 12 chance!"
"This is also the reason why the sect does not transfer personnel from the inner sect. Only one out of ten can come out. How can the sect be willing to sacrifice the disciples of the inner sect."
When Wu Zheng heard this, he was shocked. His feeling was correct. The reason why the sect treated him and others like this was because he was not strong enough!
"Elder Li, I wonder what the deal you are doing is?"
"You must also know that my qualifications are limited and my end is approaching, but my juniors have not grown up yet, so I am worried!"
Wu Zheng also sighed with emotion. No matter how much the love of parents and elders for their children reaches, it is always selfless!
"There is an immortal tree in Lingtian's secret realm. There is an 'immortal fruit' growing on the tree. One fruit can extend a person's life by ten years. I hope you can help me get one. Of course, I won't let you get it in vain."
At this time, Li Changhe was also thinking, if I can live ten more years, my descendants should also be able to survive in this world of cultivation!
Several of Li Changhe's descendants were also practicing in the Qingyang Sect, and their qualifications were average, but because of Li Changhe, they were able to practice in the inner sect.
If Li Changhe dies, how many of those in the inner sect will be jealous of his descendants! Without them to rely on, will their lives be better?
Wu Zheng thought for a while and didn't answer, but just talked about him.
"Elder, the outer sect is only slightly stronger than me as the first few are, so why did you choose me instead of them?"
Li Changhe also admired Wu Zheng for a while, because with this calmness, the chance of getting the 'Eternal Fruit' was now much higher.
"Do you still remember that time you went to the outer hall to hand in a task? In three months, you have changed dramatically. Although you hid it very well, how could you hide it from me at that time!"
Wu Zheng also suddenly realized that this was the case. He was afraid that his murderous aura had aroused the other party's suspicion. It seemed that he had to be more careful in the future!
"I wonder what benefits I can gain?" Wu Zheng is also a person who doesn't let go of rabbits before he sees them. Just kidding, I will do it if there is no benefit.
"Little friend, I have three hundred medium-grade spiritual stones. This is my entire property, do you think?"
Wu Zheng looked at Li Changhe and smiled lowly, but did not accept the storage bag handed over by Li Changhe.
Just kidding, monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage will not have any good things in them, so only ghosts will believe you.
Li Changhe smiled awkwardly: "Little friend, I see that you have achieved some success in body refining. I have a body refining magic medicine here, a two-hundred-year-old 'Sun Refining Fruit'. What do you think?"
Wu Zheng still smiled and said nothing. I would risk my life to do these things. Of course, Wu Zheng would not be stupid enough to say it.
Li Changhe gritted his teeth and said: "In addition, a Foundation Establishment Pill is the biggest price I can pay." After saying this, he said nothing and just looked at Wu Zheng with an ugly expression.
Wu Zheng also knew that it would be bad if he didn't speak anymore, so he smiled and said: "Elder, don't blame me, you also know that I am gambling with my life, I have to get more benefits, and in order to better obtain the 'Eternal Fruit' ”
Li Changhe's face also looked a little better.
"I wonder if the elder has any details about this 'immortal fruit'."
Li Changhe touched the storage bag and threw a jade slip towards Wu Zheng: "Here are the appearance, habits and approximate location of the 'Eternal Fruit'."
Wu Zheng took the jade slip, and with a sweep of his consciousness, he roughly wrote down all the information. With a shake of his hand, he put the jade slip into his storage bag.
"Okay, elder, Wu has accepted this deal!" A strong confidence was revealed in his tone.
Li Changhe threw a storage bag towards Wu Zheng: "Here are one hundred and fifty middle-grade spiritual stones and the second-order 'Sun Refining Fruit', and the 'Foundation Pill' will be given to you when you come back."
Wu Zheng also took the storage bag unceremoniously, and with a sweep of his consciousness, he understood that Li Changhe only paid half. He didn't say much at the moment, cupped his fists and said: "Don't worry, elder, Wu will do his best."
Li Changhe also knew that the person in front of him was his best choice. Although the other people were good in strength, they were slightly inferior to Wu Zheng. He nodded with a smile: "I hope my little friend will return safely. I will be your little friend then." "Jie Feng."
After speaking, Wu Zheng drifted away without waiting for a reply.
It seems that this time we must obtain the 'Eternal Fruit' for him, otherwise it will be difficult to stay in Qingyang Sect! What Jie Feng, I’m afraid he’s here to get the ‘immortality fruit’!
I looked at the sky outside and saw that it would be dawn in a few hours!
“Swallow the ‘Sun Refining Fruit’ first, and then find time to refine it later.
Without hesitation, Wu Zheng took out the ‘Sun-Refining Fruit’ and sat cross-legged. The ‘Sun-Refining Fruit’ was the size of a baby’s fist, and the peel was shining. It was a rare good thing.
Wu Zheng opened his mouth and held the ‘Sun-Refining Fruit’ in his mouth. As soon as he touched it, a warm current flowed down his mouth, and his whole body was hot and dry. The whole body was like on the crater of a volcano, and the veins on the surface of the skin were exposed and agitated.
The Qinglong Body Refining was running on its own, slowly absorbing the medicinal power of the ‘Sun-Refining Fruit’. The refining speed was fast, but most of the medicinal power was not absorbed. It was stored in Wu Zheng’s body and would be absorbed and refined when he had time the next day.
A golden light burst out in the eastern sky, and Wu Zheng woke up from meditation.
After absorbing part of the medicinal power of the ‘Sun-Refining Fruit’, the Qinglong Body Refining Technique in the Qi Training Period was also practiced to the Great Perfection. The spiritual power in the body has reached the Great Perfection level of the ninth level of Qi Training. This trip to the secret realm also has more means to save his life.
"It's time to go!" I took a look at the small house where I lived and wondered if I could come here again in the future.
