Chapter 684 Yang Mei's Life Experience

(I wish everyone a happy National Day and good health!)

In the world of cultivating immortals, furnace cauldron is never a good word.

Being a furnace means losing freedom, and you can't even choose to die. You will be the master's tool for the rest of your life, and will be squeezed day and night until it loses its value completely. The fate of the dual-cultivation furnace is even more miserable.

However, it is rare to hear of the furnace for testing medicine.

Zhou Shu, who had always been calm, was agitated when he heard the words of Master Unforgiveness, and he couldn't control his emotions, not to mention Yang Mei, who fainted directly when she heard her parents sent her to be a furnace.

It is difficult for anyone to bear this fact.

Zhou Shu looked at Master Unforgivable with piercing eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this, senior? Is there anything you can wish for? Who would give their children to others as a furnace?"

Facing Zhou Shu's questioning, Master Buju shook his head calmly, "If you are sure to take this as the second question, I can naturally answer it too, but before that, I should ask you a question."

Zhou Shu paused, then nodded, "Since it's a rule, you have to abide by it yourself, so just ask."

Master Unforgiveness stared at Zhou Shu, with a gleam in his eyes, "You, when your cultivation base was very low, once got a sword, and the ray of divine sense attached to the sword tried to control you, but you tried to get rid of it. Yes, right? Although the old man doesn’t know how you got rid of it, you did, alas.”

Zhou Shu felt a shock in his heart.

What Master Bushu was talking about was obviously the Chijiao Sword, but Zhou Shu never mentioned this to anyone, how could he know?

It's really weird. Could it be that he is proficient in reckoning, able to communicate with the heavens, and see other people's past and future? He observed himself like that before to calculate...the calculation is too accurate, no wonder in the world of cultivating immortals, there is a saying that calculation is the most mysterious technique.

Master Bubu looked at Zhou Shu quietly, with some eagerness in his eyes, as if the chef couldn't get enough of the dishes he cooked.

Zhou Shu felt a little numb.

"right?"

Seeing that Zhou Shu was silent, the master asked again.

"Yep."

Zhou Shu collected his emotions, said yes twice, and said, "Senior, you asked two questions, and this junior answered them correctly, so I can ask one more question."

"hehe……"

Master Buzhu was slightly taken aback, a little caught off guard, and his smile froze, but soon, he nodded, "The disciples of Wushuang City are indeed smart people, no matter what, I will let you be one."

Zhou Shu glanced at the unconscious Yangmei beside him, felt a little pain in his heart, hugged her tightly, and then turned his head, "Senior, why did the parents of the girl give her to make a stove for the senior, the junior should know the cause and effect .”

"You are very shrewd. As long as you answer the old man's questions, you are right or wrong. You ask the old man a lot, cause and effect? ​​Ha ha."

Master Bushu always had a kind smile on his face, but Zhou Shu felt that there was something else hidden behind his smile.

Zhou Shu was silent and just looked at him.

Master Bushu thought for a moment, then said slowly, "I can't remember clearly, it was about twenty or thirty years ago, the old man spent nearly two hundred years researching a new kind of elixir, that elixir can change It can also greatly improve a person's aptitude, even surpassing geniuses, which can also make him more suitable for practicing a certain method. After the elixir is refined, people will naturally need people to test the elixir. This elixir is only suitable for babies for the time being. Of course the cauldron must also be a baby."

He glanced at Yangmei, and said calmly, "I sent people to look for people who are willing to test the medicine. I didn't expect that there are quite a lot of cultivators who are willing to let their children be the furnace. That girl was sent by her parents in the same way. Among the four babies, the old man found the most suitable candidate for the elixir, and the others would naturally be useless."

Zhou Shu's eyes were fixed, seemingly thoughtful.

"The old man notified those people to take back the babies, but only a few parents came, and more babies were not claimed, and the parents even passed the word that they don't want them, and let the old man dispose of them. The qualifications of these babies are not very good, and some are even so bad. If you can't open the veins and practice, if you can't use it as a furnace, it's really useless. Many Xiuxian families won't raise such a person." You raise it, the valley where old people live in seclusion never leaves outsiders."

There was a trace of coldness in his eyes, "The old man threw all those babies out, not casually, the old man used the anti-star lamp, and the girl was among them, but when he threw it, his hand slipped, and he accidentally threw it away. The bead string was also taken out, and it happened to be caught by you, so you came here. The cause and effect you want is just a small accident to the old man, if there is no bead string, it has nothing to do with the old man."

Zhou Shu sighed slightly, and became more silent after sighing.

It turns out that Yangmei has such a history, and after searching, it may be better not to look for it.

Because of her poor aptitude, she was first given to Pill King by her parents as a furnace, but she failed to improve her aptitude as a furnace, so she was abandoned by her family, and Master Unforgiving, who didn't want to take in the baby, abandoned her again.

Yangmei was thrown into the Qingyuan Mountains by the star-defying lamp, and was lucky enough to survive when Elder Jin saw it. It was also extremely lucky. As for the other babies, there might not be many who survived.

The anti-star lamp is an ancient magic weapon recorded in the classics. Zhou Shu has also heard of it. It is rumored that it can only be used at night and has many effects. One of the magic formulas is called "Star Photo".

Wherever the star shines, you can come and go freely. If the cultivator who uses it completely controls the power of the star, you can use the star-defying lamp to travel across continents in an instant.

Of course, this can only be achieved by the great powers of the ancient times, and there is no such monk now.

But the star photo can still be used, although it is of little use, it can use the power of the stars to randomly send small things to an uncertain location, but the master took advantage of this and discarded those babies. I was accidentally photographed by Xingzhao, and I threw it out along with it.

"The parents of that girl, master, do you still remember?"

Yang Mei didn't know when she woke up, she looked up at Master Bushu, her voice was soft but firm.

At this time, her complexion was still pale, but there was no tear in her eyes, showing an extraordinary calmness, like still water. It seemed that she heard all these words, and after thinking about it, her heart was ashamed, and she no longer had any expectations for her family in the past.

Master Bushu looked indifferent, "Who remembers, it was probably a small family, it seems to have been extinct."

"Oh, I see."

There was a wry smile on the corner of Yang Mei's mouth, her lips were tightly closed, and she stopped talking.

She lowered her head and leaned on Zhou Shu, holding Zhou Shu tightly with both hands, her clothes were pulled into a ball by her, as if she would never let go.

Zhou Shu stroked her hair gently, without comforting her too much.

Perhaps such a result is also a good thing, it can make her completely give up, stop thinking about these things from now on, and she can calm down to practice and form alchemy.

"Now, it's the old man's turn to ask."

Unforgivable Master stared at Zhou Shu, and said slowly.

Zhou Shu raised his head and said calmly, "Senior, it's two to two now, it's fair, why don't we just suspend the transaction."

He vaguely felt that it was not a good thing to make such a deal with a monk who seemed to be able to calculate that his secret might be dug out.

"Hehe, you got what you wanted, but the old man hasn't."

Master Bushu smiled, but his tone was much harsher, "There are two more questions that you must answer."
