Chapter 661: Survive From the Brink of Death
Those who were frozen into ice cubes naturally died, including many cultivators in the Golden Immortal realm. Only Lin Dongliang survived.
For Lin Dongliang, who was in the late Golden Immortal realm, the extreme cold that could freeze people into ice cubes only made him feel a bone-chilling cold and his body stiffened for a moment.
However, there was not only extreme cold air in the hollow "nest", but also a human-shaped monster emerged from it.
The monster was snow-white all over, and although it was in human form, it had no facial features and hands and feet. After it ran out of the nest, it immediately wanted to escape, but was beaten to death by Lin Dongliang, who was angry.
After the monster died, it turned into a pool of cold liquid and went deep into the ground. There was no more.
At that time, Lin Dongliang did not feel any discomfort, but after returning to the cave at night, he suddenly had an extreme cold air in his body. At first, Lin Dongliang could easily suppress the extreme cold, but after a month, the extreme cold had reached the point where he could no longer suppress it. Lin Dongliang had no choice but to suppress the extreme cold by burning his cultivation.
Now, more than a hundred years later, Lin Dongliang, who was originally a late Golden Immortal, has reduced his real cultivation to the early Golden Immortal because he suppressed the extreme cold with his cultivation, and there is a trend of continuous decline, which really makes the Lin family anxious.
Originally, there were two cultivators in the Golden Immortal realm in the Lin family, but the other one died in the mine that year. To this day, no one among Lin Dongliang's clansmen has the possibility of breaking through to the Golden Immortal in the short term.
According to Lin Dongliang's current situation, he can only support for another thirty years at most, and in thirty years, who knows what level his cultivation will fall to.
Only a very few people know that Lin Dongliang is sick. If this matter is spread, let alone whether the Chen family will have any thoughts about the Lin family, the major sects behind the Lin family will probably look for another force to replace the Lin family. After all, if a large family of immortal cultivators does not even have a golden immortal, it cannot stand in the prehistoric world.
After Lin Dongliang finished telling the story of the past, he sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, you said that when the icy air appeared, I held my breath in time. When I killed the monster, I did not touch it personally. How could this extremely cold air appear in my body?"
"Some things cannot be explained by common sense."
Gu Zheng paused and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, is the place where the incident happened still there?"
"After this incident, that section of the mine tunnel has been sealed. Fellow Daoist Bai, do you want to go and see it?"
The Daluo Jinxian who gave Lin Dongliang the pill formula had also visited the place where the incident happened, but he did not gain anything.
"That's right, I want to go and see it now." Gu Zheng said.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, you also know that I got my disease inexplicably in that place, so you should know that going to the place where the incident happened is dangerous, so I hope that no matter what happens there, you will not blame the Lin family." Lin Dongliang said seriously.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lin, Bai is not that kind of person." Gu Zheng said.
"Okay, then I'll arrange someone to take you there."
Lin Dongliang immediately sent a message to a cultivator of the Lin family, and soon the cultivator appeared in the cave.
Lin Dongliang explained to the cultivator named Lin Xin, and Lin Xin immediately took Gu Zheng to the mine.
There was no delay on the way. After going down the mountain, Lin Xin and Gu Zheng flew all the way and soon arrived at the Wujin Mine, which belonged to the Chen family and the Lin family.
This year, the Wujin Mine happened to belong to the Lin family, so there was no need to talk about it. Lin Xin and Gu Zheng soon appeared outside the scene of the incident.
The mine tunnel where the incident occurred had been sealed. Lin Xin first unsealed the stone wall and then blasted it down.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I won't go in with you." Lin Xin said.
"It's okay, I can go in by myself." Gu Zheng smiled slightly.
The mine was a little damp, and exuded a smell of pit wood. Although it had been 150 years, the temperature was getting colder as we approached the place where the incident happened.
Gu Zheng had seen the place where the monster died. There was an abnormal white ground there. He also saw the "nest". There was a lot of extremely pure black gold that had not been mined, and the space where the extremely cold air and monsters came out.
"Did you find anything?"
Gu Zheng stopped at the place where the monster died and asked the spirit of the weapon.
"Let's go to that space and see first." The spirit of the weapon said.
The temperature in the space was not as cold as the place where the monster died. It was like a broken eggshell. Apart from the extremely pure black gold, there seemed to be nothing special.
"What do you think of this matter?" The spirit of the weapon asked Gu Zheng.
"The extreme cold air in the body of the Lin family ancestor is alive, but no living creatures related to the extreme cold air are found here. Although this is the first time I have encountered such a situation, I think the extreme cold air in the body of the Lin family ancestor is a mysterious energy. Is it the power of a curse?" Gu Zheng speculated.
Curse is a kind of witchcraft. When Gu Zheng was on Earth before, he also came into contact with people who were good at witchcraft, such as Qiao Shan from the Demon Sect. He also read some books about witchcraft, which also mentioned the art of curse. However, no book said that curses can also appear in this form, as if this kind of power is invisible in common sense.
"This is indeed the power of the curse, but I have only heard Master Tiexian mention the power of the curse that can be physically manifested. Moreover, Master Tiexian encountered a similar situation back then, and he was also looking for a kind of mineral. When I was young, I encountered this kind of human-shaped monster in the 'nest' of the mine. However, what Master Tiexian encountered back then was the power of fire poison, and the power of the curse that invaded the body was also fire poison. " Qi Ling Dao.
"How did Master Tiexian resolve this matter back then?"
Gu Zheng was curious. There were so many wonders in this world. He didn't expect that even Tiexian had encountered the trouble that the head of the Lin family had encountered.
"Lord Tie Xian is a holy immortal. He can get rid of the poisonous gas with just a thought. However, Lord Tie Xian also said that humanoid monsters are natural wonders in the world. It is a pity that they did not break out of their shells automatically. , otherwise the strength would not be inferior to Daluo Jinxian."
The weapon spirit paused for a moment, then continued: "For Master Tie Xian, the power of the curse can be easily resolved, but for you, how do you resolve the power of the curse?"
"Let me explore one side carefully first."
Gu Zheng started to destroy it. He dug a deep ravine in Tang Mo's 'nest' and the place where the monster died, and searched it over and over again with his spiritual mind.
"What are you looking for?" Qi Ling asked curiously.
"I'm looking for the source." Gu Zheng said.
"What are you looking for the source for?" The weapon spirit became even more curious.
"If this place is like the source of evil experienced in the Blood Tide Restricted Area, and it has a source, then the method to solve this matter will most likely have to be changed. But since no source has been found, then what we will face There is only the power of curse, I have a solution, I feel it should work." Gu Zheng said.
"What method?" Qi Ling asked.
"Death to death! Since the power of the curse is to make people die, will the power of the curse disappear after the person dies?"
Gu Zheng's words made Qi Ling's eyes light up: "What you said makes some sense, but will the ancestor of the Lin family agree? What's more, what if it fails?"
"Since the power of the curse has no source, it shouldn't be that difficult to deal with. I think the method of risking death and living later will definitely work." Gu Zheng said.
Now that he had an idea, Gu Zheng did not stay in the mining area for long, and soon he returned to Lin Dongliang's cave.
"How is Fellow Daoist Bai?"
As soon as Gu Zheng entered the cave and sat down, Lin Dongliang asked eagerly.
"There is a way, it just depends on whether you dare to try it." Gu Zheng said.
Lin Dongliang frowned, as if he had thought of something: "What method did Fellow Daoist Bai say?"
"Death to death!"
"Why!"
Gu Zheng's words made Lin Dongliang sigh.
"Fellow ancient Taoist, the senior Daluo Jinxian back then also said that Lin should risk his life and try to survive." Lin Dongliang said with a wry smile on his face.
"Did Fellow Daoist Lin discover after his soul left the body that there is no way to get rid of the extremely cold air? It not only exists in your body, but also attaches to your soul after your soul leaves the body. And it made you suffer so much that you almost died because of it?" Gu Zheng said.
"How does Fellow Daoist Bai know?" Lin Dongliang's eyes widened in shock.
"It's just because I see more clearly. I knew this when I visited your body before." Gu Zheng said.
"sharp!"
Lin Dongliang extended his thumb to Gu Zheng, and then said worriedly: "Fellow Daoist Bai, I have a feeling that if my soul comes out of my body again, then I will really die, like ashes! So, this is a death sentence. And does the post-generation method really work?”
"Fellow Daoist Lin, since I know the consequences of your soul leaving the body last time, but you still come up with this method, I naturally think it will work." Gu Zheng said.
Lin Dongliang frowned and rubbed his hands together uneasily, seeming a little undecided.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, except for this method, there may really be no other method! Although the Great Luo Jinxian gave you the elixir recipe, let's not talk about whether the refined elixir is effective or not. We haven’t collected everything yet! What’s more, there are still risks in alchemy. Do you think you, or the Lin family, can wait any longer?”
Gu Zheng had already seen clearly the Lin family's situation, so he felt that Lin Dongliang would not refuse his proposal, and his struggle and hesitation would soon turn into determination.
Gu Zheng's words made Lin Dongliang fall into silence. After a moment, he sighed again.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, what is this extremely cold air that is causing me so much harm?" Lin Dongliang said through gritted teeth.
"The extremely cold air in your body is actually the power of the curse," Gu Zheng said.
"Although I didn't dare to ask the senior Da Luo Jinxian what the thing in my body was, after so many years, I also guessed that I might have been cursed by that thing! It's just that a thing like a curse can actually produce The tangible power is really incredible.”
Lin Dongliang shook his head and his expression turned serious: "As Fellow Daoist Bai said, neither the Lin family nor I can wait any longer! I wonder how Fellow Daoist Bai is going to let me risk my life and survive?"
"I'm going to make you a food repair that will put all your body functions in a state of suspended animation. The safest way is to do this very thoroughly, almost like real death." Gu Zheng said.
"Food therapy?" Lin Dongliang's eyes widened.
"Yes, I am also an immortal chef myself." Gu Zheng said.
"No wonder Fellow Daoist Bai has such cultivation at such a young age. It seems that he should belong to the Twelve Immortal Chefs sect."
Gu Zheng has not clarified Lin Dongliang's sudden realization. He can think whatever he likes!
"Fellow Daoist Bai, if it is possible to risk death and survive, then what should I do if my physique has been changed by the power of the curse?" Lin Dongliang asked.
"It is a fait accompli that the physique has been changed. It can only be repaired later through elixirs or other means." Gu Zheng said.
"Okay, then just do what Fellow Daoist Bai said!" Lin Dongliang gritted his teeth.
"Okay, before I give you dietary therapy, there are two things that I need to explain first. The first thing is that you have to tell your family members that you need to take some risks even if you put yourself to death. If you are really unfortunate enough to die because of this, , this matter has nothing to do with me. The second thing, as for the reward for helping you treat your illness, I only need your genus of ginseng. Of course, the reward is based on my curing you. Under the premise." Gu Zheng said.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Bai!"
Lin Dongliang first clasped his fists at Gu Zheng. After all, Gu Zheng was speaking fairly and had no intention of raising the price. Then, he spoke again: "There's something I want to say first. My ginseng is not in good quality, and I'm still raising it now!"
"Not in good condition?" Gu Zheng frowned.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, follow me."
Lin Dongliang took Gu Zheng to the fairy grass room in the cave. Gu Zheng also saw the Beili Xiancao still growing in the soil.
"When I got this Beibi ginseng, there was also a fierce fight between several forces, and I accidentally injured this Beibi ginseng. However, it was not a serious injury. It was nourished in such an immortal formation. I guess. It will take thirty years to fully recover.”
When Lin Dongliang was explaining, Gu Zheng had already inspected the Beili Xian Ginseng. It was indeed not a big damage. If it was transplanted into the prehistoric space, it would probably take at most three years to recover as before. For cultivators, let alone three years, thirty or three hundred years is not a long time.
"It's not a big problem, that's it." Gu Zheng smiled slightly.
"Okay, then I'll talk to the family now."
Lin Dongliang had already begun to transmit the message to his tribe, while Gu Zheng closed his eyes and went over the selected ingredients in his mind to see if there was anything he hadn't counted.
"How difficult do you think it is?" Qi Ling asked.
"If my thinking is correct, the difficulty of doing this dietary therapy is only 30%." Gu Zheng said.
"oh?"
Qi Ling's eyes widened: "Cooking is your specialty. Since your ideas are correct, why is there still a 30% difficulty? Even when you were cooking Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation and Holy Fruit Food Cultivation, you had never been like this. situation.”
"This time is different."
Gu Zheng looked very excited: "This is a brand new attempt. If it succeeds, it will make great progress in my understanding of diet!"
Hearing what Gu Zheng said, Qi Ling became even more curious: "What is going on?"
"I will add things that are not ingredients to this dietary therapy. I have never tried this method before." Gu Zheng said with admiration.
"Then what do you want to add to the diet?" Qi Ling asked.
"Keep it secret!"
Gu Zheng also learned how to sell weapons and skills.
After a while.
No matter what Lin Dongliang told his tribesmen, or what their tribesmen thought about this matter, Lin Dongliang had taken care of his tribesmen anyway.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, where do you want to give me dietary therapy?" Lin Dongliang asked.
"In this cave, prepare a stone room for me." Gu Zheng said.
"There are plenty of free stone chambers. Fellow Daoist Bai, please come with me."
Lin Dongliang took Gu Zheng to an empty stone room, and then said: "You don't need me to prepare the ingredients for diet therapy for Fellow Daoist Bai, right? If you don't need me, I'll go out and don't disturb Fellow Daoist Bai, so he can concentrate on cooking."
"I have most of the ingredients here, but you need to bring me two special things. One is your blood, and the other is your divine will!"
When Gu Zheng finished speaking, regardless of whether Lin Dongliang was surprised or not, Qi Ling's eyes widened: "You want to add Lin Dongliang's spiritual thoughts to the diet? How to cook this!"
The unprecedented stuttering clearly explained Qi Ling's shock.
"Has Lord Tiexian ever cooked food with anything other than ingredients?" Gu Zheng asked.
"As far as I know, there is no such thing, let alone someone else's spiritual thoughts!"
After the shock, Qi Ling seemed very excited. Only now did she truly understand why Gu Zheng had said before that if this attempt was successful, it would make his understanding of diet greatly improve! In the eyes of Qi Ling, this approach is undoubtedly land reclamation!
According to Gu Zheng's request, Lin Dongliang released a jade bottle of blood, and then sealed a spiritual thought that contained many things in a jade slip.
Lin Dongliang had already left the stone room. Gu Zheng had also taken out all the ingredients for this dietary therapy, and then he stared at the ingredients in a daze.
"My Lord Tie Immortal! Immortal noodles, immortal wine, Lingxi Incense, Soul-Destroying Grass, Bloody Bala Flower, Phoenix Flesh, Thousand Corpse Oil, Buddha's Light Sandalwood, the blood and divine thoughts of the ancestors of the Lin family, this is your successor. What to do!”
The spirit of the weapon widened its eyes and muttered to itself, because the things that Gu Zheng used this time were really special. Some of them were not food materials at all, and some were even poisonous.
"Everything in the world is divided into yin and yang. If it can be used to harm people, it may not be impossible to save people. It just depends on how and where it is used."
Gu Zheng muttered while looking at the food materials. He carefully deduced the effects of these combinations in his mind again.
The spirit of the weapon was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up: "Gu Zheng, you look very attractive now. I have only seen this kind of almost selfless, but extremely charming look on Lord Tiexian before!"
"What?"
Gu Zheng asked subconsciously after being brought back from his thoughts by the spirit of the weapon.
"Nothing."
The spirit of the weapon covered its mouth and laughed secretly, but it was difficult to hide the blush on its face. However, Gu Zheng, who focused on the food materials again after saying a word, did not see it.
