"Tong Lao, don't get excited. Sit down first and let's talk slowly," Meng Xingyuan said.
Hearing his words, Mr. Tong came back to his senses from his frenzy. He sat down for a moment, his butt just touched the chair, but he immediately said again: "Master, I..."
"Tong Lao, don't get excited. Speak slowly. You can tell me first, what do you want this [Hyun Yan Ji Fruit] to do?" Meng Xingyuan said.
Tong Lao immediately fell silent.
"Is there something unspeakable? It doesn't matter. If you are in trouble..." Meng Xingyuan said again.
"Alas..." Mr. Tong sighed, but he said, "It's an old story, and I'm not afraid of the young master's jokes. Since the young master wants to hear it, I can tell you about it."
"Young master, you should also be able to tell that this old man is injured, right?" he asked.
Meng Xingyuan nodded.
In fact, this is not difficult to see.
Although Mr. Tong is usually very energetic and energetic, the smell of decay cannot be faked.
This kind of aura can only be felt by those who are dying and dying. As a half-step master, Mr. Tong will not be like this no matter how old he is.
The only explanation is that he was seriously injured and had an underlying illness.
This is not a secret in Yanlong King's Mansion.
It's just that everyone doesn't know what this so-called hidden disease is.
However, it is not easy to corrupt an invincible creature like a half-step master into this.
Meng Xingyuan was also curious.
But after all, the two were just similar to an employment relationship, and they were not very familiar with each other, so he didn't dare to ask more questions.
Listening to Tong Lao's words at this time, it seems that he wants to expose his own scars.
Sure enough, I heard Mr. Tong say: "I'm not afraid of young master's jokes. This old body is indeed dying. The reason is that in a treasure hunting battle hundreds of years ago, I was plotted and fell under the influence of the 'Yinhun Gu'."
'.This poison still remains in my body.
Inside, it corrodes my body and my soul. I told the young master before that it was a hidden disease caused by the breakthrough, but in fact, I was afraid that the young master would laugh at me. As a venerable person, if the breakthrough really fails, it will directly lead to physical death.
How can you continue to survive in this world?"
"Yinhun Gu?" Meng Xingyuan's eyes flashed, "This thing sounds evil. After all, Mr. Tong, you are also a half-step Venerable existence. How can a small Gu insect hurt you to this extent?!"
"Alas, young master, you don't understand." Tong Lao sighed, "This world is huge. Even the Yunan wilderness below our feet is only a corner of the vast wilderness. In this vast world, you are the only one who has not heard of it.
I have experienced it and have never seen it, but I can’t say it doesn’t exist.”
"Yes, based on my previous cultivation, it seemed that I could survive in the world. However, the fact is that I have turned into such a useless person. Fortunately, His Majesty King Mengyan did not give up and allowed me to continue to find a job in the palace.
Errands, just muddle along."
He sighed again, "The Yin Soul Gu is not an ordinary Gu. I don't know how it is refined or how it is formed, but I know it is extremely vicious. You don't know how I survived these hundreds of years.
, If I hadn’t been unwilling to accept my fate like this, I might have committed suicide early and wouldn’t have had to endure the torture of these endless years.”
Mr. Tong didn't say how miserable it would be when the Yin Soul Gu attacks, and Meng Xingyuan didn't ask either.
However, even without telling or asking, Meng Xingyuan could still imagine how vicious this thing must be.
You know, this is a top-notch demon sect!
Half-Step Master, that is a terrifying existence that has half-stepped into the realm of Demon Lord. What kind of pain have you not experienced, what kind of torture have you not seen?
However, when talking about the words 'Yinhungu', Meng Xingyuan clearly saw that Tong Lao's face was trembling!
That's something called fear!
Moreover, most demons have extremely powerful vitality.
This is directly reflected in their physical form.
A being like the qilan, who has been born for hundreds of years and has been practicing for hundreds of years, is still as young as a young man.
In the Keqing District, there are many Keqings, even those demon sect-level evil demons that Meng Xingyuan has killed, which one does not look young, beautiful, strong and powerful?
The older ones also have strong bodies, fair hair and childish faces, bright eyes, and strong spirits, as if they could shine with light.
For example, the old sheep man back then didn't look "old" at all.
Comparing the appearance of Old Tong with the haggard old man, Meng Xingyuan can completely imagine the destruction of him by the 'Yinhun Gu'!
Think again about what Old Tong said just now, hundreds of years... that is to say, he allowed the Yin Soul Gu to eat and torture him for hundreds of years!
If you don't choose to die, then Tong Lao's willpower is really terrifying.
After hearing this, Meng Xingyuan was silent for a moment, and then said: "But you haven't said yet what this has to do with [Hyunyan Jiguo]..."
Tong Lao suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Meng Xingyuan, his eyes were red, and his expression was filled with excitement that could hardly be suppressed. He looked at Meng Xingyuan and said word by word: "Hyun Yan Jiguo can suppress this kind of Yin Soul Gu!"
"Suppression?!" Meng Xingyuan was shocked, "Just suppression?! I thought..."
Tong Lao smiled bitterly, "I thought the special medicinal power of [Hyun Yan Ji Fruit] could strangle the Yin Soul Gu in my body? If it could really do this, how could I have endured these hundreds of years of pain. [Hyun Yan Ji Fruit] is rare, but
I have sacrificed my family fortune, and I have friends to help me. I dare not tell you if there are more, but I can still get one."
"A [Hyun Yan Ji Fruit] can only suppress this Yin Soul Gu?" Meng Xingyuan was speechless, "Then the blood oath you just mentioned..."
[Hyunyan Jiguo], like the Huangguo, can be selectively placed in the [Item] package by him. Even if it is not as good as the Huangguo, how can it be worse?
If it hadn't been of little help to him, Meng Xingyuan wouldn't have put it up for auction.
You can imagine what kind of sensation this thing would cause if it were put up for auction!
Just because he can't use it doesn't mean others can't use it.
Judging from the level alone, [Hyunyan Jiguo] is quite precious. If you really meet someone who is eager for it, it is not impossible to fetch it for a sky-high price that will shock Tianyao City!
With this result, Meng Xingyuan felt that within a few months, he would no longer have to worry about running out of bone coins.
But if this fruit can be used to gain the allegiance of a demon sect, Meng Xingyuan can accept it.
The only thing that left him speechless was that he originally thought that [Hyun Yan Ji Fruit] could completely cure the Yin Soul Gu in Tong Lao's body, which was why he was so excited.
However, a fruit as precious as [Hyunyan Jiguo] can only temporarily suppress it?
How domineering must this Gu be?!
Tong Lao explained: "Unless I am deliberately teasing the young master, if I can suppress the Yin Soul Gu in my body, I dare not say if there are too many, I can at least restore the strength to the level of the intermediate demon sect. I am still confident. The intermediate demon sect can already replace him."
Young Master protects the Tao and has dealt with many things. Young Master, I..."
After saying that, he looked at Meng Xingyuan, as if he was afraid that he would refuse.
