496. Chapter 496 Test
Chapter 496 Test
In the Black Corner Territory, night falls, but the streets do not return to darkness. Instead, they are brightly lit.
Xiao Yan held his slightly bulging belly and walked leisurely on the street, feeling helpless.
The little doctor fairy was really relying on a body that was not his own, or in order to punish his willfulness, he madly commanded Xiao Yan to eat all kinds of delicacies, and he didn't stop until Xiao Yan was about to vomit.
(Let’s see if you dare to make me angry next time!)
The little medical fairy smiled proudly, but felt very pleased in her heart.
This means that Xiao Yan is willing to accompany her to fool around. If Xiao Yan really ignores her, he can't do anything now.
But yes, I ate a little too much.
The little medical fairy couldn't help but feel nauseous. Although it was true that she would not gain weight, Xiao Yan's senses were reflected in her. Since Xiao Yan was so full that he felt like vomiting, she was no better. She didn't even know that this was punishing him. Still punishing myself.
Fortunately, the digestive system of a cultivator is much stronger than that of ordinary people. After walking for more than ten minutes, Xiao Yan digested most of the food and walked slowly towards the hell headquarters, still thinking in his mind.
It’s not bad to eat so indulgently once in a while, right?
Not long after, Xiao Yan returned to the hell headquarters and happened to see Xiao Yu walking out of it. His eyes lit up with joy when he saw Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan, are you back?" Xiao Yu came to him, "I was about to go find you."
"what's up?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows in confusion, and Xiao Yu turned slightly sideways.
"There are guests inside who want to see you by name."
"guest?"
Xiao Yan raised his head slightly and glanced at the starry sky.
Whose guests come to visit at this time?
Xiao Yan walked in quickly, and Xiao Yu followed behind him.
When Xiao Yan came to the hall and saw the so-called guest in Xiao Yu's mouth, he suddenly froze on the spot.
Old man Yingshan? Isn't he gone? ? ?
At this time, the old man Yingshan was slowly tasting the fragrant tea in his hand. When he saw Xiao Yan, he put the tea cup down and smiled softly.
"Xiao Yan, please make it easy for me to wait."
"Sorry, I just went to eat something." Xiao Yan came back to his senses and looked at the old man Yingshan strangely, "Senior, haven't you already left?"
"Leave? When did I say I was leaving?"
Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned by the words of the old man Yingshan.
"But didn't you say that you met those people just because you were leaving the Black Corner Territory?"
"Eh? Did I say that?" Old Man Yingshan scratched his bald head, then patted it helplessly, "Look at my memory, it just doesn't work well as I get older."
Not to mention, the actions of Old Yingshan really made him look like a cute little old man.
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. Of course I lied to you when I said I wanted to leave." The old man from Yingshan narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "I came to the Black Corner Territory this time to heal my injury. How can I leave if I haven’t been cured yet?”
As he spoke, Old Yingshan's withered palm gently touched the ring, and a simple wooden box appeared on the table, making Xiao Yan's eyes shrink slightly.
Isn't this the box containing the saliva of the Bodhisattva that Old Man Yingshan presented to him?
"Xiao Yan, open it and take a look."
The old man Yingshan leaned on the sofa and spread his hands to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan frowned slightly and didn't understand what he meant, but he still stepped forward.
"excuse me."
Xiao Yan bent down slightly to open the wooden box, and then suddenly paused.
empty? ? ?
Wait, since this box is empty, does that mean it was also empty when Old Yingshan handed it to him?
Xiao Yan's mind could no longer turn around. At this time, the old man Yingshan spoke calmly.
"Xiao Yan, it was actually not those people who blocked me, but I bumped into them on purpose." Old Yingshan looked at Xiao Yan's shocked eyes and said slowly: "The reason is to lure you out."
Xiao Yan looked at the old man Yingshan quietly and asked in a deep voice after a long time.
"Why?"
"Before I answer your question, let me ask you a question first." Old Yingshan looked at Xiao Yan, "Who is that Han Feng of yours?"
"She is my senior sister." Xiao Yan did not hide anything and answered calmly. The old man from Yingshan nodded clearly.
"I see. With a junior brother like you, it's no wonder she didn't snatch it away." The old man Yingshan nodded slightly and continued: "Actually, there are several kinds of pills that your senior sister used to exchange the saliva of Bodhisattva with me. They are all what I need, and I am indeed willing to exchange them with my Bodhi body."
"In the final analysis, for me, although Bodhi's body saliva is valuable, it is far less valuable than the elixirs that can cure my injuries."
Xiao Yan's brows furrowed even more after hearing what Old Man Yingshan said.
"Then why."
"But the premise is that I can trust her." Old Yingshan interrupted Xiao Yan's words and said solemnly: "I can't trust your senior sister, or in other words, I can't trust all alchemists."
"For a profession like the alchemist, it's really easy to add something to the elixir. Especially if it's a private transaction like this, even if the alchemist tampered with the elixir, I will only suffer a loss. "
"Don't think it's impossible. The Black Corner Territory used to be a place like this. Even though the Black Corner Territory has changed drastically now, I still can't erase the doubts about the alchemist in my heart." The old man from Yingshan narrowed his eyes slightly, "I have always been If I live alone, no one will come to help me even if I am really cheated.”
The old man Yingshan said this, with a hint of loneliness in his tone.
"Therefore, even if I buy elixirs, I will only choose well-known auction houses. Even the auction houses in the Black Corner Region care about their reputation. In addition, no one knows who will auction the items. The chance of me being targeted will also be greatly reduced.”
"But it's a pity that not every auction can get the elixir I want."
The old man Yingshan paused and continued.
"I came to the Black Corner Territory to seek elixirs this time just because I was lucky. After the deal with your senior sister broke down, I felt that there was no hope. But I didn't expect to meet a boy like you who is different from ordinary people."
"I heard all your deeds from the Black Corner Territory. I instinctively felt that you were a trustworthy person, but the reason in my heart stopped me. I must not believe you so easily. It's not like I have never suffered similar losses."
"So I want to do a test to see if you are really as upright as you appear on the surface, taking the initiative to release the news and meet those people." The old man of Yingshan retracted his hands in his sleeves and explained calmly. : "Whether I hand something over to you on my own initiative, or I show no mercy at all afterwards, it is all to test your nature and whether you are a trustworthy person."
“Those who take advantage of others’ danger are not worthy of trust.”
"Those who coerce others are not worthy of trust."
"Those who take things by force are not worthy of trust."
"If you fail to meet my expectations at all, then I really won't come back."
"But it turns out that I was overly worried. Even though I had absolute strength and urgently needed what the other party had, I could still resist robbing. If such a person cannot be trusted, who else in this world can be trusted? ?”
After listening to the old man Yingshan's narration, Xiao Yan finally understood what he was thinking, but he still couldn't help but ask questions.
"But senior, not to mention senior Hai Bodong and Cai Lin, even I have the idea of robbing him. What if we really take action?"
"Haha, Xiao Yan, don't underestimate me." The old man from Yingshan smiled faintly, "Although my current strength is only at the peak of Dou Huang, after being alone for so many years, there are many ways to escape."
"Don't say it's just a Dou Zong. Even if it's a Dou Zun, as long as I'm determined to escape, I may not be able to catch him."
After saying that, the old man Yingshan once again touched his hand to Najie.
"Then, everything that needs to be explained has been explained clearly, let's officially conduct the transaction." The old man of Yingshan took out a metal square box that was smaller than the previous box and placed it on the table. "This is Take what you need, Bodhisattva."
"As for my request, it is very simple. That is to completely cure my injuries."
Xiao Yan looked at the metal box with fiery eyes, then calmed down and whispered to the old man Yingshan.
"Senior, please put this thing away first."
"Huh? You don't want it anymore?"
The old man Yingshan was stunned, Xiao Yan shook his head slightly.
"No, this junior needs it. It's just that the transaction has not yet been established. How can there be any reason to collect compensation?" Xiao Yan said calmly: "Xiao Yan is not sure whether he can cure your injury. After the treatment is successful, you can It’s not too late to give the body of Bodhi to me.”
"Hahaha, although it's rigid, it does seem like something you, a kid, can do." The old man Yingshan came back to his senses and smiled, "Okay, it's up to you. Treat the injury first, and then treat the Bodhisattva I'll give it to you."
"So, are you sure?"
Upon hearing the old man Yingshan's inquiry, Xiao Yan's eyes were as bright as fire and he solemnly clasped his fists.
"We must do our best!"
