The old man carefully opened the wooden box. Immediately, a strange fragrance hit his nostrils. In an instant, the whole room was filled with that alluring fragrance. Zhao Yuan saw that inside the wooden box, there were two purple-black pills the size of bayberry.
.
"What is this?" Zhao Yuan couldn't help but ask, looking at the cautious expressions on the family's faces.
"The fish we caught this time greatly exceeded the task, and the cemetery rewarded us with two immortal pills!" The old man's cloudy eyes were full of color, and his withered arms were trembling with excitement, and his ten fingers were trembling.
He clung to the wooden box tightly, as if he was afraid that others would snatch it away.
"Elixir of immortality?"
"Yes, this is the elixir of immortality. If you eat it, you will not only be as happy as a god, but you can also prolong your life." The old man swallowed and placed two purple-black elixirs in the palm of his hand, as if he had found a treasure.
Is it really that amazing?
Zhao Yuan stared at the two immortality pills and couldn't help but think of Wan Ling'er. Wan Ling'er was now an expert in alchemy. She could tell whether the elixir had miraculous effects just by smelling it. Unfortunately, Wan Ling'er was not around.
While he was thinking about it, the old man holding the elixir glanced at everyone, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
"Xiao Zhao, you caught all the fish, and you have the greatest credit. You should eat one of these immortal pills. From now on, you have to fish more. As long as you catch more fish, the cemetery will often reward us with immortal pills.
By then, our whole family, young and old, will have the elixir of immortality to eat, and given time, it is possible for us to ascend to immortality." The old man divided one of the purple elixirs in his hand and handed it to Zhao Yuan, with a look in his eyes.
It's reluctance.
"Thanks."
Zhao Yuan did not refuse, and observed calmly. What surprised him was that the two old men and the ten-year-old child both had excited faces, while the haggard-looking daughter-in-law had no change in expression, and no change in expression.
The look of anticipation was more of a helpless sadness. "Grandpa, this one belongs to me!" The child suddenly stretched out his hand, and the old man was caught off guard. The child snatched the elixir away from his hand, and your child immediately threw it in.
in the mouth.
"Ah...you evil beast...spit it out, spit it out!" The old man was frightened and rushed over, pressing the child to the ground.
"Spit it out!" The old woman also took action.
An astonishing scene appeared. The two kind old people suddenly became hysterical. They rushed up like angry beasts, pushed the child to the ground, and squeezed him in his mouth. Their movements were extremely rough, and the child died.
Without opening his mouth, his throat kept moving. It was obvious that he had swallowed the pill.
The daughter-in-law was eager to protect her son, and she quickly pulled the two old men away. The room suddenly became a mess, and pots and pans were thrown on the floor.
"Eat mine for you!" Zhao Yuan shouted.
Immediately, the two out-of-control old men stopped and stared at Zhao Yuan's hands with two pairs of turbid eyes. The room was so quiet that it was suffocating.
"Take it." Zhao Yuan threw it to the old man.
An unexpected scene appeared again. The child who had swallowed an elixir suddenly struggled to reach out to catch the elixir. However, this time, the old man had been on guard and hugged the child tightly.
The immortal pill was caught by the old woman.
Originally, Zhao thought that the old woman would share the Immortal Pill with the old man after catching it. However, he did not expect that after catching the Immortal Pill, the old woman would directly put the Immortal Pill into her dry mouth and swallow it while spitting.
In the belly...
"Old woman!" The old man looked at the old woman with an angry face, let out a heart-rending roar, and slapped her on the head. "I know, you have already eaten one." The old woman did not resist, and allowed the old man to fight without stopping.
Arguing.
At this time, Zhao Yuan discovered that the child who had swallowed the pill was leaning on the leg of the table, with an intoxicated look on his face, as if he had fallen into a paradise.
"I'll catch more fish tomorrow and I'll have the elixir of immortality." Zhao Yuan saw the two old men getting into a quarrel and quickly comforted them.
After listening to Zhao Yuan's comfort, the old man cursed and let go of the old woman, then sat alone in front of the stove, squinting his eyes and taking a nap.
At this time, the old woman and the ten-year-old child were also dozing off with their eyes closed, with a strange expression of enjoyment on their faces.
Only the wife was sitting at the table with a blank look on her face, her empty eyes filled with endless confusion.
In the evening, Zhao Yuan took the opportunity of sleeping with his wife to learn more about the "Elixir of Immortality".
It turns out that many years ago, the cultivators in the cemetery established a complete reward system in order to reward fishermen for contributing more catches, and the so-called "Elixir of Immortality" was one of the prizes.
In the early days of the introduction of the reward system, it indeed played a positive role. People worked hard for the "Elixir of Life" and every fisherman was crazy for the "Elixir of Death". However, this crazy scene did not last long, because the fishermen
His health is getting worse and worse.
Making a living on the sea is impossible without a strong body.
Gradually, the fishermen were unable to obtain the Immortal Pill. However, the fishermen were already accustomed to taking the Immortal Pill. After suddenly losing the Immortal Pill, they were all weak and had no intention of working. This situation lasted for a long time, and people gradually
Quit the temptation of the elixir of death.
Of course, they say they have quit, but in fact, the fishermen still think about the elixir in their hearts. Once the harvest is good, they will happily exchange it for the elixir...
…
It seems that this immortality pill is not that simple!
Zhao Yuan was secretly vigilant.
The next day, Zhao Yuan went fishing alone early in the morning.
After leaving the coast, Zhao Yuan rowed toward the west. After rowing for more than an hour, Zhao Yuan finally saw the specific appearance of the west side of Penglai Island.
There is a small island to the west of the island, which is about 300 feet by visual inspection. It is lined with green trees and has various pavilions and pavilions. It looks pleasing to the eye and extremely beautiful.
When Zhao Yuan saw the island for the first time, he had an indescribable feeling. It seemed that something was wrong, but for a while, he couldn't remember it.
"Monk, this island is full of weirdness." Zhao Yuan called out to Monk Tianxin.
Recently, Monk Tianxin has been practicing. Even after assisting Zhao Yuan in killing Li Hao and the Millennium Demon Wolf, he immediately returned to the Lingtai world to practice.
Quiet.
"Sanxian!" Monk Tianxin who came out of the world of Zhaoyuan Lingtai exclaimed.
"Sanxian?" Zhao Yuan was confused.
"Don't you see it? The small island next to this big island has countless towering trees, full of rich spiritual energy. It is obviously different from the plants on this big island. The difference in years is at least hundreds of years.
Nian... It seems that there are powerful loose immortals living on this island."
"Why do you think so?" Zhao Yuan asked puzzledly.
"It's very simple. Judging from the plants on this island, this island was not originally here, but was moved here by cultivators using magic. In the world of cultivators, the only way to move such a huge island is to reach the Sanxian level.
A cultivator."
"Why not a real immortal?" Zhao Yuan looked confused.
"Brother, real immortals are obsessed with building the world of Lingtai and don't bother to manage such an island. Only Sanxian will painstakingly manage such a movable island."
"That's it!" Zhao Yuan suddenly realized.
"It seems that the red heart sacred tree you are looking for should be on that small island." Monk Tianxin said.
"By the way, how is the cuckoo demon's husband?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"The shape has already taken shape, but as his spiritual consciousness has not yet been awakened, there is no hope of understanding the island from him for the time being." Monk Tianxin shook his head and said.
"Um."
Zhao Yuan inspected the world of Lingtai.
That Huatutuo was still suffering from the pain of purgatory, and kept making shrill wails. His soul became more and more ferocious, running hysterically through the square inches beneath the gods.
At this time, through repeated tempering, the ghost of Hua Tutuo actually formed fiery red magma. The surging and overflowing magma was endless, giving people a frightening feeling.
According to Monk Tianxin, this Huatutuo repeatedly endured purgatory-like pain. Over time, it will form an evil spirit that can only feel pain. The longer the time, the stronger the evil spirit will be, and the violent energy accumulated in the body will also
It will become more and more ferocious, and when driven to fight, it is often fearless and desperate.
Theoretically speaking, Monk Tianxin is also an evil spirit raised by Zhao Yuan, but there is an essential difference between Monk Tianxin and Hua Toutuo.
Monk Tianxin has his own spiritual consciousness and has a clear goal of cultivation. However, Hua Toutuo was suppressed and tempered by the gods, and his spiritual consciousness has been controlled by Zhao Yuan. In a sense, Hua Toutuo is only Zhao Yuan's cultivation goal.
