Chapter 1559
In the fifth month, Gu Zheng sighed, threw away another discarded pill, rubbed his eyebrows gently, and looked at the pill furnace in front of him. This time, it failed again.
But he didn't know what went wrong in the middle. He felt very good, but why did he fail again.
After a short rest and cheering up, the next pill refining began again.
When Gu Zheng was completely in the state, Ying Shao came over again secretly, looking at the fragrant pill, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, but she couldn't eat it. Every time, the light curtain blocked her, but she could give it to Xiaoye.
Ying Shao smiled secretly, took the things inside again, quietly found Xiaoye in the distance, and secretly turned it on, but to her surprise, when Xiaoye saw this thing, he immediately turned his head to the side, as if he saw something disgusting, and even moved his body to the side.
"I understand. Let's go out together." Yingshao looked at Gu Zheng in the distance, then looked at Xiaoye. She suddenly realized what Xiaoye was worried about, put away the pill, patted its body, and pointed outside.
Sure enough, after seeing Yingshao's gesture, Xiaoye thought she was going to go out again, and climbed up again.
The two repeated the same trick again. Yingshao walked outside first and soon waited for it to come out outside, but after just a while, Yingshao felt a little bored and thought that Xiaoye would wait for a while before coming out, so she continued to look for the soul-eating flower.
It was only a cup of tea. With a sound behind her, Yingshao turned her head and found that the enlarged Xiaoye reappeared in front of her.
"Why did you come here just now? I've been waiting for you for a while. Come on, eat it quickly." Yingshao's little face was full of smiles. She smiled at the Biye bird and waved the pill in her hand.
This time, the Biye bird was obviously less vigilant. It took a few steps, came to Yingshao, and stretched its head directly to peck down.
"What if the young master finds out that his things are gone?" At this time, Ying Shao thought of Gu Zheng, and gently stroked the cheek of the night bird in front of her, while saying.
"Squeak"
The night bird opened its mouth and chirped, but Ying Shao did not understand what it meant.
"I know, those things are all discarded things. I heard from Sister Luo Xin that the elders are so kind that they will definitely not blame me. Besides, this thing is not given to outsiders." Ying Shao said to herself, as if comforting herself.
"Okay, we have to go back. The last time we stayed for a long time, Sister Luo Xin became suspicious. There will be some smells here."
Ying Shao said to the night bird, and then walked back to the passage.
The graduation bird suddenly jumped and blocked Ying Shao, scaring her.
"Do you want to take me around? You have to be careful of your big relative. Even the young master can't beat it." Ying Shao watched the other party's body crawl down, gestured to herself, and climbed up carefully to instruct.
The Bi Ye Bird didn't say much, and its huge body suddenly flashed and flew out quickly to the side.
Half a day later, Ying Shao was placed at the entrance of the canyon with a red face and a hint of excitement on her face. When she turned around again, the Bi Ye Bird had disappeared.
"Hey, Xiao Ye, you came back so quickly, why didn't I see you on the road, let me in quickly." Ying Shao saw Xiao Ye behind the shield and was surprised, but didn't think much about it.
A year passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Zheng looked at the box with only a few materials and showed a hint of excitement on his face. Although he failed this time, he already understood why he had not succeeded.
Next time, he has a 90% chance of success, but he still needs some Soul Devouring Flowers.
Although the previous Soul Devouring Flowers were enough, the remaining effects have now lost a lot and can no longer be used.
And the Soul Devouring Flowers that he needs have stronger medicinal effects. Because too much time has passed, all the auxiliary materials seem to be fine, but in fact, the medicinal properties in them have lost a lot. This is what Gu Zheng finally discovered.
After standing up and stretching a little, he saw Yingshao and the others were resting around, which saved him from having to go find them again.
Gu Zheng did not let them come over, and went straight to the outside.
"Ah, Master, is there something wrong?" Yingshao, who was sleeping, woke up from Xiaoye's side after hearing the vibration, and said in a daze after seeing that it was Gu Zheng.
"I need you to find some soul-eating flowers. This time, you need to find bigger ones. I need their medicinal power, and this time I need you to go out for a walk." Gu Zheng said to her.
"Oh, so it's this. I picked a lot before, all for you." Yingshao opened her sleepy eyes, and after hearing Gu Zheng's words, she threw out a long box, then climbed on Xiaoye's body and fell asleep.
Gu Zheng picked up the box at the bottom in confusion, opened it, and saw that there were dozens of soul-eating grasses inside. What surprised Gu Zheng even more was that one of them was rolled up, and when it was taken out and stretched out, it was more than three feet high, just like a small sapling.
He looked at her in confusion, really not knowing where she got it from, but with this one, he didn't need any other.
He didn't bother them to rest, but returned to his previous position and closed himself off again, preparing to succeed in refining the elixir in one go.
This time, a small bird jumped out of the ring, and looking at its lively eyes, it seemed that it had recovered its vitality.
A mouthful of red flames began to spew out from its mouth, covering the entire furnace in the blink of an eye. It replaced the Li Ring and could help Gu Zheng better control the temperature.
It seemed very scary, but in fact, Gu Zheng could sense the temperature of every place.
As Gu Zheng moved again, the materials were filled in again.
Alchemy began again.
While Gu Zheng was refining the elixir for Xing Cai, Xing Ba welcomed a group of special guests in Jishi Village.
"Welcome, welcome, I didn't know you actually migrated from outside, I'm afraid it's really not easy." Xing Ba received the other party in the reception room.
"It's really not easy, just rushing for several years." Man Tian smiled and replied below.
After a long journey, all of them came here, but most of them did not show up. Only one-tenth of them came here. The others found a good place, which was only a dozen days away from here, and all were preparing to rebuild their homes there.
Therefore, Xing Ba only thought that there were only tens of thousands of them.
"I don't know why you came all the way here? You know, this place has a bad reputation in the outside world." After a brief greeting, Xingba said puzzledly.
You know, he has never seen outsiders migrate here. In the outside world, this is just a wild place, extremely chaotic, and no one wants to come in.
"Our master asked us to come here, saying that your place is safer." Haiming, who was standing aside, immediately replied.
"Your master?" Xingba was stunned.
"My son Gu Zheng, he should have come here before." Mantian explained beside him. Although he is still as tall as a child now, the aura on his body shows that Xingba does not treat him as a child at all.
"Gu Zheng, of course I know that he came here some time ago, but he went out for something. It seems that the person he mentioned before is you." Xingba's face returned to calm. He had thought of it when they first appeared.
"Haha, that's great." Mantian said aside.
The atmosphere in the air also eased a lot.
Since Gu Zheng had arranged it, the gap between their two families was much less.
"I have already prepared a place for you. You can come to the city to rest at any time." Xingba invited them.
It's just a few tens of thousands of people, so it's easy to put them down.
"Sorry to bother you!"
While they were settling down, an old man with a team of more than a dozen people came here outside the Yunmeng Swamp.
Although they were few in number, each of them had a very strong aura.
"Sir, there are traces left by our people here." The people next to him reported to the old man in the lead.
"What a coincidence, did the master send someone here again? Or is there another purpose?" The old man pondered for a while, waved his hand and said to everyone around him, "No matter what, this time we must get that thing and live up to the master's high hopes. After it is opened, we will do our best to find the entrance."
Everyone followed the old man and rushed inside.
Now in the Yunmeng Swamp, almost every once in a while, someone comes in from outside, ranging from one to dozens, and all enter inside.
It's just that most people know what they are here for, and even if they meet other people, they try to avoid friction. So it seems that there is no change from before, but some sharp people have found that there are slightly different.
In the westernmost city, there is a huge mountain in the middle, and the whole city is built around the mountain.
And on the mountainside, there is a majestic hall, which looks very gloomy. Only on both sides of the hall, there are rows of bookshelves leaning against the wall, but there are no books on them.
At every interval above, a red candle is burning. The weak candlelight can only illuminate the surroundings. When it reaches the middle of the hall, it is already very small.
And at the top are steps, a figure stands on it, and there are nearly 20 people standing below, looking up at him.
It seems that they have been here for a while.
"Left and right generals, this time you each lead your team well, be careful and cautious, and get to the last place you came to last time as quickly as possible. Do you understand!" After a long time, the figure above finally spoke.
"Yes"
The two masked people below said in unison.
"This time, there is no room for error. I need more evil spirits. You don't need to waste your energy. Send your subordinates to do it. You follow me and go in as soon as possible." The figure gave the final word to the people below.
"Yes, Lord Jing!"
Two months later, with a huge vibration of the alchemy furnace in front of him, a golden pill flew out from the top of the furnace. As soon as it came out, it flew into the air. It seemed that it wanted to leave here.
"Haha, it finally succeeded." Gu Zheng didn't catch it at all, and laughed happily, because the other party couldn't run away here.
Sure enough, when it reached a certain level, the pill directly hit a layer of transparent protective shield. No matter where it went, there was a layer of obstruction and it was bound here.
Gu Zheng watched it flying around randomly above, and when the other party's strength was a little weak, his figure shook slightly, and he appeared beside it and grabbed it with one hand.
Seeing that the other party was still struggling in his palm, with golden light coming out of his hand, he pressed it down.
As the golden light on it faded, a pill the size of a dragon's eye appeared in the palm of his hand.
This pill is the soul-reviving pill. After losing the cover of the golden light, its true face was revealed.
There are layers of purple lines on the entire elixir. If you look closely, it seems to be forming formations, which makes people unable to help but sink in. It is very mysterious.
"Sir, has the elixir been successfully refined?" Yingshao looked at Gu Zheng who was shining with joy. Even after seeing this scene and knowing that it was successful, Yingshao couldn't help but ask.
She knew how much danger Gu Zheng had gone through in order to get here. It was really not easy.
"Of course, everything is done." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
The complexity of refining this elixir was the most difficult one for him so far. He could not make mistakes in every step and it would take at least a month. It really cost him a lot of effort.
Even so, so many materials were almost consumed before it could be refined. If you were a master of alchemy, you might succeed in one go.
Without the previous experience of failure, it would not have been possible to successfully refine it, let alone the materials, which would not have been found if we went out to look for them.
"Great!" Yingshao also said very happily.
"Hey, where are these waste pills?" Gu Zheng walked to the place where the waste pills were placed, only to find that none of them were gone. He was shocked and asked quickly.
"They were all eaten by Xiaoye!" Yingshao panicked and immediately pointed at Xiaoye in the distance and said.
"It's a good thing you didn't eat it. These shemales who have opened up their spiritual intelligence are equivalent to poison. Once eaten, no one can be saved." Gu Zheng looked at Xiao Ye in the distance, still sleeping on the ground, with no other symptoms on his body.
"I know, I didn't eat it!" Yingshao's face turned pale, thinking that she almost ate it, thanks to the help of Qilin.
"It can be seen that if you really ate it, all I can see is your body." Gu Zheng was also glad in his heart that he had forgotten about it. Fortunately, nothing went wrong.
"You stay away, I'll wake up Xingcai." Gu Zheng ordered them, then put away the elixir and walked over there.
At this time, Xingcai is still the same as before. In more than a year, her posture has not changed at all, but her eyes will focus on different people.
"Xingcai, wait until I rescue you." Looking at Xingcai's appearance, Gu Zheng didn't care whether she could see her or not.
After finishing speaking, Gu Zheng put a palm towards the light beam in front of him.
"Kaka"
The sound of wood cracking sounded in the air, and as Gu Zheng took his hand away, a crack appeared on the palm of his hand, centered on it, and quickly spread to other places.
In just a few breaths, the entire mask was covered with dense cracks.
Gu Zheng stretched his hand upwards, and like a domino, pieces of white light began to dissipate from his fingertips. The entire white light quickly disappeared, revealing the stars inside.
Seeing that the light shield blocking her was broken, Xingcai's eyes moved and she started to walk on her own. She saw that the direction was the direction to go out, but just after taking a few steps, her eyes opened and she fell limply towards the ground.
However, when she was halfway down, a hand grasped her shoulder, and another purple pill was stuffed into her mouth.
"Wake up!"
Seven days later, Xingcai's eyelids finally moved while she was lying on the grass. Listening to some noisy sounds around her, her whole head felt dizzy. The whole sky was spinning in her eyes, so she closed her eyes again. .
"Drink some water!" Soon a figure came to her side, and a familiar voice sounded beside her.
"Who is he? Did he save me?"
At this time, Xingcai's mind was in chaos. She couldn't remember who this person was or where she was. It was as if there were countless needles stabbing her in the head, making her couldn't help but cry with a headache.
The next moment, a warm palm came to the top of her head, and at the same time, a comfortable warm current came down from the top of her head, which alleviated the pain a lot.
After a long time, Xingcai lowered her arm, and the palm left her head at the same time.
"Gu Zheng!"
Xingcai slowly opened her eyes and was surprised to find a familiar face appearing in front of her.
"It's me. Are you surprised? Let's get up first." Gu Zheng said with a smile, reaching out his hand to pull her up.
"Why are you here? What is this place?" Xingcai looked at the surrounding environment and blurted out.
"You're here and you don't know? This is a place of sacrifice!" Gu Zheng looked at the other party's expression with confusion and said.
"Did you bring me here?" Xingcai asked in surprise.
"What's going on? When I came here, I found you were already here." Gu Zheng looked at her surprise, as if he was very surprised to be here.
"How is that possible! I am obviously trapped in the desert sea, is this an illusion?" Xingcai's eyes were a little confused, as if he didn't believe that the ancient dispute in front of him was real.
Gu Zheng also noticed something was wrong and said in a deep voice to Xingcai.
"Don't worry, it's not an illusion now, just listen to me."
Gu Zheng quickly recounted the general story of why he came here. At the same time, he observed Xingcai's expression. He wondered whether he had delayed for too long, and even the soul-reviving pill could not completely restore her, leaving her with sequelae. .
"It's been such a long time." Xingcai couldn't help but said after hearing this.
As the pain in her head became less and less severe, she gradually became clearer. It seemed that this place was not an illusion.
"What happened to you? This is something I picked up on the road." Gu Zheng took out the things he picked up at that time.
"It is indeed my stuff. I remember that I was ambushed by several monsters at that time and almost died there." Xingcai took it and looked at it and said slowly.
"But I was clearly trapped in the desert. How come so much time has passed since I woke up, and I am here."
"You mean you don't know how you got here? Tell me what happened." Gu Zheng's face also became solemn. If this is true, then who sent her here.
