Chapter 239 The temptation
Two thousand years ago, during the Dao King's Great Festival, almost all monsters in the world were annihilated. The bloodline of ancient monsters could not be continued. Many powerful sects among them returned to annihilation overnight and disappeared into the ancient river. They no longer accept the past.
Glory.
There is a very short record in the "Monster Control Division Work Manual". Zhou Dao once read it but glanced at it without paying attention.
It says on it that the emperor launched a war to kill Changsheng and destroy his Taoism. There will be no disaster from now on!
The Immortality Sect was once an existence comparable to the six great sects in the world.
It's a pity that it was buried in the years, and now, it has long been forgotten by the world.
"The Gate of Immortality!? This thing is the elixir of the Gate of Immortality?" Zhou Dao was stunned and showed a strange look.
Two thousand years ago, when the Immortality Sect was just destroyed, everything about him was taboo.
The imperial court set up a special agency to search for the remnants of the Immortal Sect. Everything related to the Immortal Sect was considered contraband, especially exercises, elixirs, magic weapons, etc.
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhou Dao looked strange and couldn't help but said.
Even though so many years have passed, no one will take it seriously anymore, and there are even occasional transactions on the Immortal Sect's relics on the black market.
However, the water here is very deep and the definition is very vague. It can be large or small.
"How could I have seen it wrong?" Hibiscus whispered.
The Longevity Sect's [Wanshou Dan] is an ancient recipe that has been handed down since the day the sect was founded. It is said that only the core disciples of the sect know how to refine it, and if you want to refine this elixir, you must use the sect's specific method.
Cauldron.
Therefore, Longevity Pill cannot be imitated and is extremely precious.
In addition, the core medicine for refining this elixir is black turtle essence, so [Wanshou Dan] is also commonly known as Turtle Essence Pill.
This elixir is so miraculous that it is a holy medicine for healing.
The most important thing is that the longevity sect claims that long-term use of [Wanshou Dan], if you take ten thousand pills, you can break through the limit of longevity, live forever, and prolong your life.
"Ten thousand?" Zhou Dao was startled and his expression became strange.
Why does this sound a bit like the trick of selling powerful pills in the world?
Zhou Dao vaguely remembers that one year, Laowang Steamed Bun Shop launched a steamed bun stuffed with chives, oysters and kidneys. It was said that if you eat three thousand buns, you can hang a thousand catties in the dark, never fall down with a golden gun, be strong every day, and be a bridegroom every night.
.
Listening to Zhou Dao, he always felt that he had known him before.
According to Mu Jinyi, [Wanshou Pill] is extremely precious. Even if the Eternal Life Sect refines it every year, it is impossible to refine 10,000 pills. As for outsiders, who with such a big reputation can eat enough 10,000 pills?
This is not a disguised attempt to exaggerate the value and efficacy of this elixir, or malicious hype.
"Magic? Liar?"
Zhou Dao secretly cursed, and the image of the so-called Immortality Sect in his mind gradually became fixed.
"Do you still have that medicine on you?" Mu Jin's eyes were filled with brilliance, and she looked at Zhou Dao sincerely, her face full of desire.
Obviously, she was attracted by this lost elixir.
In fact, as a disciple of [Yao Wang Mountain], Hibiscus has seen many new and ancient elixirs, and his favorite thing is to collect elixirs and lost elixirs.
She had an extraordinary background, but all her wealth was spent on it, making her life very tight.
However, she enjoyed it.
Those are her treasures. Now that Zhou Dao has the long-lost secret medicine of the Immortality Sect in his hand, how can she not be tempted?
If she hadn't seen Zhou Dao as a human being, she would have stripped him naked.
"What do you want to do?" Zhou Dao asked warily.
"I can buy it. It doesn't matter how much it costs. You set a price." Hibiscus couldn't wait to buy it. She really liked it.
Otherwise, in ordinary transactions, even if you like the goods, you still have to pretend to be calm, find some faults with the goods, bargain with them, and then negotiate.
As impatient as she is, in the eyes of some merchants, she is like a little fat lamb delivered to their doorstep, the kind with chubby meat.
"Buy? Sorry, I'm not short of money." Zhou Dao shook his head.
Of course he was short of money, but after stopping Mu Jinyi's introduction, he already knew the value of Turtle Essence... no, Wanshou Dan.
He used to eat this stuff as broad beans, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable.
Now Zhou Dao only has five coins left on him, so of course he cannot sell them.
Besides, how much money can be made for a film about this little girl?
When Mu Jin saw Zhou Dao's refusal, she immediately panicked.
She also knows how precious [Wanshou Dan] is, but she actually wants to buy such a treasure with something yellow and white? But no one would consider it.
It's so rude and presumptuous. This kind of treasure cannot be measured by money at all.
"How about asking her how much money she can pay?" Zhou Dao thought to himself.
"I...I'll exchange it for you with another treasure." Mu Jinyi said suddenly.
"What treasure?" Zhou Dao asked.
"Do you know about the Dragon King Festival?" Mu Jin changed the topic and said something unrelated.
"Nonsense, who doesn't know this?" Zhou Dao rolled his eyes.
Half a month later, it will be the day of the Dragon King Festival. Now the entire Pingjiang City is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it is obviously much more lively than before.
Even business in Wild Donkey Alley has been booming recently.
"Maybe I can let you meet the Dragon King."
"What the hell?" Zhou Dao's eyes lit up with surprise.
Everyone knows that the Dragon King Festival is a sacrifice to the Dragon King.
Rumor has it that there is a Dragon Palace hidden in the Nielong River. Whoever can enter it and see the Dragon King will have a great opportunity to reach the sky in one step and dominate the world.
Huo Longwang, the current top master in Lin'an Prefecture, is a good example.
He was unknown when he was young, but just because he entered the Dragon Palace and met the Dragon King, he became unstoppable and firmly sat in the position of Lin'an Prefecture Secretary, a high official in the border area, and could not be shaken.
Therefore, the triennial Dragon King Festival attracts countless experts. Every year, thousands of people from all areas of Lin'an Prefecture rush to Pingjiang City and enter the river to catch the tide, hoping to get a glimpse of the Dragon Palace and gain a chance.
"Are you kidding?" Zhou Dao said with a strange expression.
See the Dragon King? The Dragon King is not Mr. Xu who is on duty at night, so he can just say so?
"According to the records of our Yaowang Mountain, the secret of the Dragon King Sacrifice only has eight words." Mu Jin said.
"Which eight characters?" Zhou Dao became interested and asked.
"Catch the tide and enter the temple, burn incense and see the dragon!"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Dao asked.
"After the Dragon King Festival begins, the Nielong River is turbulent and the waves are undulating. At this time, if you ride the waves into the river, you may be lucky enough to find an ancient temple under the Nielong River and enter it."
"Ancient temple!?"
Hibiscus nodded: "It is said that it was the temple where the Dragon King was worshiped in the early years, and it was connected to the Dragon Palace."
"At this time, those who burn incense and worship with sincerity can enter the Dragon Palace and see the Dragon King."
"Is it that simple?" When Zhou Dao heard this, he seemed to have some knowledge.
"When chasing the tide, life and death in the Nielong River will appear. Not to mention those competitors, the monsters hidden in the river will emerge one by one. What's more, the changes in the river will be far more powerful than human power can resist."
Hibiscus shook her head.
Every year during the Dragon King Festival, hundreds of people die just by riding the tide.
From a certain perspective, they are the sacrifices offered to the Dragon King.
"Also, even if you find that ancient temple and burn incense and see the dragon, not everyone can do it."
"By luck?" Zhou Dao blurted out.
Since everyone enters the ancient temple at the same time and worships together, we can't just see who can enter the Dragon Palace by kowtowing more, knocking louder, or shouting louder!
"To burn incense, you need to use a different kind of incense. This is the key." Hibiscus revealed the secret one by one.
"Exotic incense!?" Zhou Dao was stunned.
The so-called exotic incense was originally used to offer sacrifices to gods and Buddhas in ancient times. Later, Taoist masters used it as a treasure for their cultivation.
