Chapter 158: The Zhong Family’s Invitation
How did you know my address? "Fang Yu frowned when he saw Zhong Yuan and Zhong Liyu in front of him.
Seeing that Fang Yu seemed unhappy, the faces of the two brothers and sisters changed.
"Master Fang, please forgive us for our intrusive visit. Since the matter is urgent, we came to you directly..." Zhong Yuan said with a forced smile.
"What's the matter?" Fang Yu had no patience for these martial arts families.
"We want to cooperate with you..." Zhong Yuan said.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in cooperating with you." Fang Yu said, and was about to close the door.
Seeing this, Zhong Liyu said in a hurry: "Master Fang, I learned from Miss Ji that you need the inner pill of monster beasts, so we brought eight inner pills of monster beasts from our collection to see you today."
"Eight inner pills of monster beasts?" Fang Yu's face changed slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Come in. "
Fang Yu's change of attitude stunned Zhong Yuan and Zhong Liyu.
After seeing Fang Yu's terrifying skills on Yuexin Lake, Zhong Yuan had the idea of cooperating with Fang Yu and entering Baichuan Mountain together.
Zhong Liyu learned from Ji Rumei that Fang Yu was only interested in the inner pills of monsters.
After obtaining the consent of the family elders, the brother and sister came to Fang Yu with the only eight inner pills of monsters in the family.
...
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Fang Yu took the box handed over by Zhong Liyu, which contained eight inner pills of monsters.
Fang Yu opened it and took a look , they are all third-level demon beast inner cores, not bad.
Zhong Yuan and Zhong Liyu looked at Fang Yu quietly, not daring to speak.
Especially Zhong Liyu, she remembered that when she first met Fang Yu at the Ji family, she looked down on Fang Yu and even ridiculed him. Later, after arriving at the primeval forest, she asked Master Tu, who was traveling with her, to attack Fang Yu.
But in the end, if Fang Yu hadn't killed the demon beast, she would have lost her life.
Now facing Fang Yu, Zhong Liyu felt more ashamed in addition to fear.
"Tell me, what do you want to cooperate with me?" Fang Yu put the demon beast inner core aside and asked.
Zhong Yuan looked at Zhong Liyu, who took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to look directly at Fang Yu, and said: "Master Fang, we received a message that someone found a spiritual spring deep in Baichuan Mountain west of Jiangnan."
"Spiritual spring?" Fang Yu frowned slightly.
"It is said that the spring water contains high-purity spiritual energy, which is of great benefit to the practice of warriors, so it has attracted the attention of countless warriors. "Zhongli Yu said.
"Who spread this news? You found the spiritual spring, why don't you make a fortune quietly?" Fang Yu asked in confusion.
"There is a village at the foot of Baichuan Mountain, where more than a hundred villagers live. The spiritual spring was discovered by several villagers when they went up the mountain to hunt."
"At that time, they thought it was just ordinary spring water, so they scooped a little and drank it. After drinking it, they felt very comfortable and their strength became more abundant."
"So these villagers used the water bottles they carried with them to bring some spring water back to the village and gave it to the respected village chief in their village to taste. The village chief was a warrior, and he found that these springs contained spiritual energy..."
"That's how the news came out." Zhongli Yu introduced.
"Those villagers regarded the spiritual spring as their private property. The news was spread to attract people from outside to buy the spiritual spring water. In this way, they can make a lot of money." Zhong Yuan added.
"Then why don't you just go and buy it? "Fang Yu asked.
Zhong Yuan said: "Master Fang, let's not talk about whether the spiritual spring belongs to the villagers of that village. More importantly, those villagers set the price very high. It is said that one million yuan can only buy a small cup of spiritual spring water... We naturally cannot accept this price. "
"Then why don't you go up the mountain to find the spiritual spring yourself?" Fang Yu said again.
"This is why we came to Master Fang for cooperation. "
"It is said that the location of the spiritual spring is extremely hidden, and only the villagers of that village know the location. And in Baichuan Mountain... It is said that there is an ancient curse. Except for the villagers of that village, no one can enter. Otherwise, they will suffer from the power of the curse and die suddenly. "Zhong Yuan said.
Fang Yu smiled faintly and said: "A dignified martial arts family still believes in this kind of thing."
Zhong Yuan's face changed slightly, and he said: "Master Fang, it's not that we are willing to believe it, but the facts prove that there is indeed a curse in Baichuan Mountain! "
"Just the day before yesterday, the Wu family sent a team of four half-step masters and two masters into Baichuan Mountain. The original plan was to come out within three hours regardless of whether they found the spiritual spring or not."
"But as soon as this team entered Baichuan Mountain, they completely lost contact with the outside world and have not come out until today."
After hearing Zhong Yuan's words, Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
If Zhong Yuan's words are true, then there may be some problems inside Baichuan Mountain.
The team of four half-step masters and two masters is already strong, but no one can get out.
But Fang Yu does not believe in curses.
It is more likely that there is a hungry high-level monster inside Baichuan Mountain. As long as it detects the existence of a living creature, it will use it as food.
However, this cannot explain why those villagers can enter and exit Baichuan Mountain at will.
"So, you want me to go into Baichuan Mountain with you?" Fang Yu asked.
"Yes, Master Fang fought with Gu Rulong yesterday, and we were watching. Master Fang, you are just like a god descending from heaven, which makes us..." Zhong Yuan said excitedly as he recalled the scene yesterday.
"Okay." Fang Yu did not let Zhong Yuan continue, but turned to look at Zhong Liyu, and said with a smile, "I remember that I met Miss Zhong Liyu before, right?"
Zhong Liyu trembled all over, and her face immediately turned pale.
It seems that Fang Yu is going to settle old scores with her.
But before coming, Zhong Liyu was mentally prepared.
"Puff!"
She fell to her knees, knelt down directly, and bowed her head to apologize.
"Master Fang, I was disrespectful to you the last time we met. But later you helped me in the primeval forest and saved my life. I am very grateful to you for this, but I also feel very regretful and ashamed."
"I hope you can forgive what I did before."
"Save you? Oh, you misunderstood. I just wanted to get the inner elixir of the silver-clawed octopus at that time, so I killed the octopus, not to save you." Fang Yu said.
Zhongli Yu lowered his head and said, "... In any case, Master Fang, you saved my life. Since then, I have always wanted to apologize to you and repay you, but I don't have the courage and face..."
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhongli Yu, and saw that she didn't seem to be acting.
"Okay, get up." Fang Yu said.
Zhong Liyu's face lit up, and he stood up and bowed to Fang Yu again, saying, "Thank you, Master Fang."
Fang Yu looked at Zhong Yuan and said, "If I cooperate with you, what can I get?"
"If we can find the spiritual spring, our Zhong family only wants 30% of the spiritual spring! The remaining 70% will be given to you, Master Fang!" Zhong Yuan gritted his teeth and said.
Fang Yu smiled and said, "It sounds good."
"Master Fang, are you agreeing to cooperate with us?" Zhong Yuan said with a happy face.
"When do we leave?" Fang Yu asked.
"As soon as possible. Many martial arts families and sects immediately sent teams to Baichuan Mountain after receiving the news. If we go too late, the spiritual spring may be found by others first." Zhong Yuan said.
Fang Yu glanced at the time. It was already 5:30 in the afternoon.
"Then let's set off tomorrow morning." Fang Yu said.
"Okay, I will prepare the car tomorrow morning and wait for you, Master Fang, downstairs." Zhong Yuan replied respectfully.
…
After the Zhong brothers and sisters left, Fang Yu sat on the sofa and thought.
Spiritual spring…
In fact, there is little point in cooperating with the Zhong family. If the spiritual spring really exists, Fang Yu can find it by going to Baichuan Mountain alone.
However, the news was brought by the Zhong family after all, so it doesn’t matter if they share a share.
Moreover, Fang Yu doesn’t care about the spiritual spring. He cares more about the source behind the spiritual spring.
What is the source of the spiritual spring, the spiritual vein? Lingshi Mountain?
The source that can produce spring water containing high-purity spiritual energy must be extraordinary.
What Fang Yu really wants to find is the source of the spiritual spring!
