"This thing is extremely precious to you human race, but it is not of much use to our Bengnu clan. Ever since we obtained such a piece of North Sea mithril ten thousand years ago, it has been kept in the spiritual vault collecting dust. Now it can be considered as a loan to offer flowers to the Buddha.
"Are you satisfied with this compensation?"
The old woman gave a rare chuckle and said, no doubt, such a piece of North Sea mithril has brought the originally lukewarm relationship between the two parties much closer.
"Thank you, Great Elder, for the generous gift. To be honest, this North Sea mithril is indeed of great use to Kong. I originally planned to go to the silver crystal veins after returning this time, but now it seems that there is no need for it.
.”
In the jade box, the North Sea mithril is spread thinly like a layer of silver sand. It is not as dazzling as the fine silver in the world, but is slightly darker, giving people a deep texture.
There are about five taels of North Sea Mithril in front of me. After going back, I will find a way to exchange the two taels of North Sea Mithril in the sky. In this way, it will be barely enough, Kong Laosan thought secretly in his heart.
"Oh? That's a coincidence. If you go to the silver crystal vein, you will probably come back empty-handed. Don't you know that a hundred years ago, the North Sea mithril in the silver crystal vein disappeared?
"
After hearing what Kong Laosan said, the old woman said something profound, but when Kong Laosan heard these words, the latter's expression changed slightly, "It became extinct a hundred years ago?"
"Yes, North Sea mithril is only found in the North Sea. To be more specific, it can be said that it is only found in the silver crystal veins. However, it is extremely difficult to mine North Sea mithril. In addition, the North Sea mithril contained in the veins is extremely rare, so it often consumes a lot of money.
After thirty or forty years of hard work, you can only get one tael of North Sea Mithril. In addition, North Sea Mithril has special "avoidance" properties. Therefore, North Sea Mithril is extremely precious to your human race. However, the mine veins are limited after all. After millions of
After years of mining and excavation, the silver crystal veins were completely abandoned a hundred years ago, and there is no longer any mithril produced. This matter should not be a secret among you humans."
As the old woman spoke, she glanced at Kong Laosan with some confusion, but she saw that Kong Laosan's face was extremely ugly at this moment, his eyes were a little heavy, but he vaguely understood something, and he laughed.
"Well, let's not talk about this anymore. The matter between you and Qingqing has been settled. Now it's time to talk about our affairs. The old lady promised before that if you help me make elixirs, I will give you a big gift. Now it seems that it is time.
I have fulfilled it, but before that, you need to agree to two conditions."
"Oh? What are the conditions? Great Elder, why don't you tell us first?"
Kong Laosan's tone was no longer cold as before. Obviously, the great elder's gift of North Sea mithril just now made Kong Laosan's attitude much closer.
"Haha, don't worry, I won't embarrass you. The first condition is that after you leave our Beng Nu clan, don't mention anything that happened here to the outside world. We, the Beng Nu clan, have lived here in seclusion for many years and don't want to be contaminated by anything.
trouble."
"This is natural. Kong just promised to the great elder."
Kong Laosan said softly, this condition is indeed nothing.
"The second condition is that the pagoda will be opened one hundred and forty years later, and you must go and participate on behalf of our Clam Girl clan."
Hearing the word "Buddhist Pagoda" from the old woman's mouth again, Kong Laosan raised his eyebrows and did not agree immediately. He thought about it and said, "Can the Great Elder reveal some information about this Pagoda? Now
Kong Mou is right about this
If you don’t know anything about the pagoda, how can you agree to the elders?”
Hearing Kong Laosan's response, the Great Elder seemed even more satisfied. He chuckled and said, "If you didn't want to agree immediately before, I'm afraid everything the old lady just said would be irrelevant to you. It seems that Qingqing's vision is not bad.
Regarding the news about the pagoda, the old woman will naturally tell you the truth when you come back next time. Now is not the time, but the old woman can give you a guarantee. If you encounter any life-threatening situation in the pagoda, you can make your own decision.
Stay or go."
Hearing this, Kong Laosan thought carefully for a moment, and finally nodded, "With the assurance from the great elder, Kong is relieved. I will make the inner demon oath."
"Haha, no need to swear, just follow me."
As the old woman spoke, she turned to walk behind. Kong Laosan was slightly startled when he heard this. Seeing that the old woman had already walked away, he quickened his pace and followed closely, but there was some thought in his eyes.
It was still as big as before, with thirty-seven white jade arches scattered around, all covered by a layer of thick white mist, making it impossible to see the scenery behind the arches.
After a while, the two stopped in front of the arch on the far left. The old woman seemed to hesitate for a moment, but she still said calmly, "Let's go."
Passing through the arch, the two walked one after another for about half a stick of incense. After turning around and around, they suddenly saw another arch in front of them. It was also shrouded in white mist. On the surface, it looked like the arches just opened.
No two, but obviously, this arch has a very strong controlling force, and even requires the great elder to open it with the power of blood.
This made Kong Laosan feel curious, wondering what secrets were hidden behind the arch.
With a burst of blood floating in front of him, the white mist that originally enveloped the surroundings rippled like water waves. As the old woman stepped into it, Kong Laosan's eyes fell straight on a three-foot-sized stone inlaid on the stone wall in front of him.
Colorful mirror surface.
In the entire surrounding area, except for this colorful mirror, there are only some stone walls left, which looks a bit messy.
"This colorful mirror space contains the original power of our Clam Girl clan. It requires the original essence and blood of our Clam Girl clan to open it. Although the spiritual power in your body is full, there is still a long way to go before the middle stage of pill formation.
, this time I will give you a chance to break through the realm. Of course, whether you can break through or not depends on you. In addition, the time flow in this mirror space is different from that in the outside world. One hour in the outside world is equivalent to seven hours inside.
, However, you only have one year at most."
Hearing this, Kong Laosan's heart was greatly moved, and he was amazed by the various magical places in this colorful mirror space. However, Kong Laosan, who was not very knowledgeable and had little knowledge at this time, naturally did not realize that the space that could change the flow of time was in the space.
Even the great elder of the Bengnu clan didn't know what it meant in the world of immortality. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought outsiders here so casually.
"It's better for the Great Elder to make it clear first. The North Sea Mithril is of no use to you. It's just a gift to Kong. Now that such a huge benefit is placed in front of you, if the Great Elder doesn't make it clear, Kong will be honest in his heart.
Uneasy."
Kong Laosan glanced at the colorful mirror on the stone wall, turned his head, and stared directly at the elder, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"Haha, let's treat it like an old lady and form a good relationship. Maybe we, the Clam Girl clan, will have to rely on you to take care of us in the future."
The old woman waved her hand,
There was no explanation at all, but he said something incomprehensible, which left Kong Laosan a little confused.
As she spoke, a bit of essence and blood flew out from the old woman's fingers and moved toward Kong Laosan's eyebrows.
Unable to figure it out, Kong Laosansuo stopped worrying. Just as he was about to step into the mirror space, the old woman seemed to have thought of something again, "By the way, this jade slip was originally requested by that girl Qingqing for you, so she also gave it to you.
you."
As he spoke, an ancient bone-white jade slip flew toward Kong Laosan. Seeing it, Kong Laosan subconsciously grabbed it in his hand. Without hesitation, he dodged directly and walked towards the colorful mirror.
Like water waves, the colorful mirror in front of him rippled, and with the faint flash of blood between Kong Laosan's eyebrows, the shadow disappeared without a trace.
Not long after Kong Laosan entered the mirror space, the old woman who was standing aside also walked towards the way she came from, with no intention of waiting here.
In the cave built of white jade, a beautiful girl with green eyes lay quietly on a side of ice, her eyes closed tightly, as if she had fallen asleep, but the girl in her sleep was quite uneasy, with a pale face,
His brows furrowed slightly from time to time, as if he was in great pain. Most of the green scales on his tail had fallen off at this moment, and little bits of blood seeped out from under the scales, which looked a bit shocking.
With a burst of colorful rays of light, the old woman's shadow appeared in the cave out of thin air. Seeing Qing Qing frowning on the cold ice, the old woman's originally expressionless face flashed with a touch of heartache. Qing Qing, who was sleeping at this moment, seemed to feel it.
What? His eyes slowly opened, and when he saw the old woman, he forced a smile on his pale face.
"Great Elder, Brother Kong..."
"Oh, don't worry. I have taken him to the mirror space and given him the jade slip that recorded "One Thought of Soul Escape". He also promised that when the pagoda is opened one hundred and forty years later, he will
I will go and participate on behalf of our Clam Girl clan, but... the old woman didn’t let him make a vow of inner demons, so I really don’t know if he will come when the time comes.”
Having said this, the old woman couldn't help but sneer, glanced at Qingqing who couldn't get up, and then said, "If you stupid girl hadn't reversed her origin, how could the old woman find him to refine the "Blood Dividing Guiyuan Pill" and give it to him?
With so many benefits, it even allows him to enter the mirror space?"
"It's all Qingqing's fault, but this is all Qingqing's voluntary choice. Great Elder, please don't blame Brother Kong..."
Hearing what the great elder said, Qingqing's face turned pale and she said nervously.
"Hmph, what's the use of talking about this now? Reverse the origin, take off the blood of the Clam Girl clan, turn into a human form and practice again. You are crazy about that kid, but whether the other party accepts it, it only depends on God's will. Old lady, I
I have never seen such a stupid girl like you."
The old woman said with some distress and self-blame, and finally sighed heavily, throwing a white spirit shell in front of Qingqing, "There is the "Blood Dividing Return to Yuan Pill" that I refined for you, take it.
You gave that boy so many benefits this time, and after you turn into a human form and practice cultivation again, you can also take care of that boy a little more."
As the old woman said this, she shook her head in disinterest, and without waiting for Qingqing to say anything else, she headed directly towards the cave.
However, the old woman, who was in a complicated mood at the moment, did not notice that just as she left, a purple shadow dispersed outside the cave, and like an agile cat, it slipped in in a flash.
